Finally broke and tried some real guns. Now I know I don't like 12 gauges, the 9mm Glock has a bit too much kick for a little lady like myself but ooooh I love to scope. That grouping at the end is rifle.

Passengers were informed overnight, forcing the cruise to change course again.
Tour organizers said they were surprised, noting the same itinerary had been completed successfully the previous year, and the ship will instead visit Crete and Montenegro.

Kremlin:
On one side, there is Russia. On the other side, there is Ukraine, together with a number of European countries and the United States, supplying Ukraine with millions of tons of weapons.
It is no longer an operation. It is a full-scale war.

Kremlin:
Zelensky came to power and promised his people that he would end the war. That was his original promise.
And he can still end the war by making the very responsible decision to withdraw his troops from Donbas—from the regions that have now become part of Russia—and by recognizing the situation that has already become de facto as de jure.
The next day, the war would be over.

Kremlin:
If anything threatens the existence of the Russian state, nuclear weapons will be used.
Otherwise, they will not.
Everything else is pure speculation.

Kremlin:
The good, warm, and very cultured Europe still exists.
But it is under enormous pressure from a new generation of politicians.
Therefore, we sincerely wish Europeans to have a new generation of wiser politicians—a new generation of De Gaulles, a new generation of Chancellor Kohl, and so on.

Kremlin:
Russia is too big and too responsible to start a Third World War.
Then there is Europe. European politicians have all kinds of crazy ideas in their heads.
We will never start a Third World War.
We never started one. Think about history.
But when it was started against us, we fought until the end.

Kremlin:
History, unfortunately, has a bad habit of repeating itself.
Of course, we do not want situations like those of the mid-1930s of the last century to happen again.
But right now, many things are happening that are very similar.
What we are witnessing—the militarization of Europe and the creation of an enemy image right in front of our eyes—naturally worries us.

Is there, for Europeans, on European soil, any greater evil than Russia? No.
So this is a brainwashing of European taxpayers. They are being 100% brainwashed.
We are portrayed as absolute evil.
The theory that they are all in danger is being pushed relentlessly.

Albanian prosecutors allege that businessman Artur Shehu, who sold about €110 million worth of coastal land for a luxury resort backed by Jared Kushner, used forged property deeds to claim ownership.

They have frozen the sale proceeds, preventing him from receiving the money.
Shehu denies all allegations through his lawyer.
The developers say they believe the land purchase was lawful and will cooperate with any legal process.

Maggot Hagerman has covered me incorrectly for ten years. Her book is a joke! 90% of it is Fake News. She has made a living off her bad reporting, and will pay the price when our Multi Billion Dollar Lawsuit against The Failing New York Times gets to Court, which should not be that long.
I don’t mind bad press, if they are right. I do mind Fake Reporting, like what’s in her boring book, and like she’s done for eleven years, with only one aim in mind, to have Trump lose Elections but, as I sit in the Oval Office and ponder, that hasn’t worked out too well.
Maggot is a loser! If she ever wrote the true story about me, it would actually be quite boring, but loaded with lots of SUCCESS.
Also, I just finished a perfect physical at Walter Reed, I do it every six months, and I requested another Cognitive Test, the only President to do so, three times, and I aced them all — Got every question right. Few people in Washington, D.C., could do so, including Maggot and her flunky associate, Jonathan Swan.
I would be willing to bet they couldn’t get 50% of the questions right. Anyway, don’t buy their book, it’s garbage!
