Monday

Big flocks of these guys live in our neighborhood.  
They are exotic and raucously noisy.

And here's where we are today:
During the 2024 campaign, Trump repeatedly said that he would end the war in Ukraine.  Shortly after the election, a newspaper reporter asked Nikolai Patrushev, who is close to Putin, if Trump's election would mean "positive changes from Russia's point of view."  Patrushev answered: "To achieve success in the elections, Donald Trump relied on certain forces to which he has corresponding obligations. And as a responsible person, he will be obliged to fulfill them."

Today, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told a reporter: "The new (Trump) administration is rapidly changing all foreign policy configurations.  This largely aligns with our vision."
