I think Trump should add one more point to his 28-point Russian-Ukrainian “peace” accord. That 29th point is that any Ukrainian citizen desiring it should be granted US permanent-residency status with a path to US citizenship.

BBC WORLD News has been covering for at least 1 hour NOTHING but the resignation of its Director General. Is there no other news worthy of being reported? I have praised BBC in the past, unlike US cable news, to be able to cover numerous news stories during a broadcast. I’m not so sure now.

I see videos of what appear to be late-model ICE mega-SUVs playing demolish derby in the streets of Chicagoland. Couldn’t they find some junkers for their ramming activities and save the taxpayers of America some money?
