@tomcolgan14 The main thing wrong with the World Cup is FIFA is the second most corrupt organization in the world (just slightly behind the Trump Crime Family) and are hard to root for. The out of this world prices for the WC games has taken a lot of interest away from a lot.
@ryanpotebooks Was a big fan of Blood and Treasure and am looking forward to The Ghost City. I am a HUGE @CliveCussler_ fan and the Fargos is my favorite Cussler series! I am stoked! @DirkpittCussler
Nah, this is amazing.
Ireland 🇮🇪 didn’t qualify for the World Cup, but their flag is similar to that of Ivory Coast 🇨🇮.
So a pub in Ireland, decided to support Ivory Coast at the WC. They’ll be selling Ivorian meals & playing Ivorian music.
This is top
Russia presented two "Russian" cars at the St Petersburg Economic Forum which turned out to be overpriced Chinese vehicles.
A new "Volga" was presented that turned out to be a rebadged Geely Monjaro. The "Volga" costs 4.2 million rubles and more, while the Geely Monjaro costs about 1.5 million rubles in China.
The new Aurus Senat 900 has turned out to be a copy of the Hongqi H9. Russians are being asked to pay 10-12 million rubles for it, while the Chinese original can be bought for around 4 million rubles.
The "Russian spirit" comes at a cost, apparently.
I’ve come across a lot of cool people and blogs since I’ve been writing Books & Biceps and one of my new favorites is the Campus Files by @SamHunterReads .
Sam is an expert in all things Jack Ryan and Tom Clancy. His tagline for his site is “The Ryanverse declassified”. I love that. Back when I was a teenager my dad traveled a lot and he devoured Clancy’s mass market paperbacks on airplanes.
Whenever he’d come home from a trip, I’d head over to his nightstand to see if there were any books I was interested in. Some of Clancy’s earlier novels were too dense for my teen brain (meaning, I was too dense to understand them, haha) but one I remember reading and really liking was The Hunt for Red October. Of course, the movie with Sean Connery and Alec Baldwin is also a classic, which helps my memory.
I know a bunch of you love Clancy and similar thrillers, so I reached out to Sam to see if he’d be interested in a Books & Biceps Q&A and he said yes. Very cool of him.

By firing Scott Pelley, editor-in-chief of CBS News Bari Weiss has single-handedly destroyed the most brilliant investigative newsmagazine in network history, 60 Minutes. Weiss exemplifies everything MAGA is about: ego, incompetence, and blithering idiocy.
Every second day a ship loaded with alumina leaves Limerick, Ireland to eventually end up in munitions raining down on Ukraine's civilians and soldiers.
From a Russian speaking, Russian owned factory who threatened Ireland with losing power if someone stops them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
