A space-faring ne’er-do-well with more bravado than brains, Rex Nihilo plies the known universe in a tireless quest for his own personal gain. But when he fleeces a wealthy weapons dealer in a high-stakes poker game, he ends up winning a worthless planet…and owing an outstanding debt more vast than space itself!

The only way for Rex to escape a lifetime of torture on the prison world Gulagatraz is to score a big payday by pulling off his biggest scam. But getting mixed up in the struggle between the tyrannical Malarchian Empire and the plucky rebels of the Revolting Front―and trying to double-cross them both―may be his biggest mistake. Luckily for Rex, his frustrated but faithful robot sidekick has the cyber-smarts to deal with buxom bounty hunters, pudgy princesses, overbearing overlords, and interstellar evangelists…while still keeping Rex’s martini glass filled.

🇺🇸🏴‍☠️🇺🇦 The United States recommended that Ukraine concentrate its forces in one direction, writes The New York Times.

The United States and its allies believe that one of the reasons for the failure of the Ukrainian counter-offensive is too much dispersal of forces in several directions, and strongly recommend that Ukraine concentrate the main forces in a single direction. This was reported by the newspaper, indicating that the Kyiv authorities probably began to follow this recommendation.

According to them, the forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are distributed between the eastern and southern directions in approximately the same proportion. American and Western military analysts, as well as officials, recommend concentrating the main forces to advance towards Melitopol.

Russia got richer ($600 billion) as America got poorer (by $5.9 trillion). Zelensky needs more money, though, so pay up.

Prigozhin’s Plane Crashes

Sounds a bit sketchy. But on the other hand, has there ever been someone targeted by more interested parties across a broader spectrum before? A private jet traveling from Moscow to St. Petersburg crashed on Wednesday in Russia’s Tver Region. The Russian Emergencies Ministry said all 10 people on board had died. Rosaviation has since […]

“We are still trying to come to grips with the devastation. Biden is going to come to Maui on Monday. The people don’t want him here, because of his answer when asked what he thought about the fires and he said “No, no no comment.” I’m sure they will gather enough people to make it look good, but that’s not how most feel. In particular, many are questioning his giving each household $700 and then giving billions to Ukraine. We know it probably started with a downed power line. They got that under control; then the winds picked up again and it was just too much for a small fire department to handle. Why wasn’t the water reservoir released? People had as little as 15 seconds to get out. Can you imagine, 15 seconds! So many have said the cars on Front Street were exploding like bombs. Were those lithium batteries from electric cars that just got too hot too quickly? There are still over 1,000 missing. How many are lost from jumping into the ocean just to keep from burning up only to be sweep out to sea? We will never know. Wyland who owns the art gallery on Front Street is said to have made the decision to grab his motorcycle in the back of his shop after looking at the stalled traffic on Front Street. He said he could feel the hair on the back of his neck burning. He said he passed an older man on a bicycle pedaling for all he was worth. Some of my questions are why they closed the only road into and out of Lahaina, why no sirens went off, why they dismissed the kids from school with nowhere to go? How many of them are missing? Now, two major things are already taking place, the California lawyers who filed claims against PG&E are here and more calamitous, the land grabs have started. I don’t trust Oprah at all. Within the last two years, she has amassed over 1,000 acres of Maui land. My theory is that she is after the prime land in Lahaina. I finally read the Governor’s Fifth Proclamation regarding the fires. I don’t like him. He’s way too liberal and out for self-promotion. Love you guys.”

"In recent years many institutions have launched initiatives around Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) to make their workplaces more fair and diverse. 

"But Republican leaders are now comparing DEI initiatives to “wokeness” and “loyalty oaths.”
