Actually I believe the sum sent to Ukraine this week is closer to $1billion.

Money means nothing to the 3rd Obama administration. If any is left over after the California millionaires get government assistance, the Republicans in North Carolina will still be suffering.

I'm only hoping the extreme heat of the LA fires weakens the connection of California to the rest of the USA and that worthless desert floats out to sea and sinks.

I love that, the 3rd Obama administration.

There is no question: Obama has been the president for the past four years. The old dimwit who occasionally occupies the White House is a gangster, a fool, and a traitor.

BRH,

You could have a pretty good weekend in Reno with a Billion dollars....

E. Just by chance an acquaintance took a side trip to Reno: she reports Reno appears down at the mouth with rows of empty storefronts, closed businesses, and plenty of homeless people in the streets.

BRH,

Yeah, put a fork in it.

Well done, and done well....

Good cops know when not to care? Like the one who walked past a woman on fire in NY subway system without trying to do anything. Anyone riding that can't be important.

John Rocker was perceptive enough to recognize that 25 years ago...

RD,

You seem familiar with Reno...were you there during the golden days of the70' and 80's before Indian Casinos and the computers changed it for the worse? Much worse.

Sadly, no. I was there in the late 90's and early 2000's and haven't been back since 2005 or so.

RD,

Computers released the casinos from relying on offering benefits to get people in the door. 99cent breakfasts, $4.95 one pound new york steak dinners...prime rib anywhere for $6.00...pouring 99 cent well drinks from a Tanqueray bottle opened in front of you.

Now facial recognition and player cards weed out the dead-beats.

Analog glory succumbs to digital slavery. That is really unfortunate. It's harder and harder to find little bits of joy in this world. Every once in a while, I have a glorious memory like that and my kids ask me why I'm staring off into the distance.

I told my son once that he'll never know the glories of tearing through dirt roads at 3am blind drunk screaming Waylon Jennings at high volume. The roads are paved and the cops would sooner shoot you than leave you alone.
