“A WashingtonPost editorial demands that JoeBiden command Germany to supply Ukraine with tanks. Germany can decide what it likes. This megalomaniacal US exceptionalism is at the root of the world’s problems
Germany has announced that it is ready to send 14 of its own tanks to Ukraine and to allow others to do so, in an U-turn from its previous position.
Germany Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced on Wednesday that Germany will provide Ukraine with 14 Leopard 2 tanks out of its own Bundeswehr (German armed forces) stocks.
In a government statement, Scholz said that Germany would continue to increase military support for Ukraine and would provide the Ukrainian armed forces with Leopard 2s as a “result of intensive consultations that took place with Germany’s closest European and international partners,” according to a NBC News translation.

More than a million UK households will be offered money for them to cut their electricity use between 5pm and 6pm on Monday in a move that follows the National Grid bringing back mothballed coal plants today to ensure supply.

If you follow conservative cartoons, you may recall Pat Cross. There have been no toons from him for a few months now. If you don’t know why, here it is.
He put down his cartooning pen in August last year, in pursuit of another cause.
College Fix cartoonist Pat Cross has spent the past six years using his pen and paper to illustrate truths about American politics, and for the past three years, the reality of what happens on college campuses.
He has now chosen to take his talents to a definitively more noble vocation than journalism – entering St. Michael’s Abbey in California at the end of August to pursue priesthood with the Norbertines.
‘I have discerned that God may now be calling me to serve Him in a more particular way as a Catholic priest’
While he will give up his creative pursuits, his contemplation of the priesthood will continue his pursuit of the truth.
A few days ago, the remote control for one of my gadgets refused to work. I checked the batteries and they were okay. So I thought that I’d have to toss out the old and would need to get a new one.

Found! Lady Huntsman is snuggled up on the top shelf of the white book case in the back corner. She can stay for a few days. After that, I’ll relocate her. She’ll need a feed and water eventually.
Although they may be looking for potential prey, huntsman spiders will often find their way into your home during the warmer months to get away from the summer heat. Squeezing into gaps under doors and windows is natural behaviour and so makes them feel right at home.
Nick Fuentes banned from Twitter 24 hours after being reinstated.
Seems Elon is not fair dinkum
The 24-year-old leader of the “America First” movement had his account reinstated on Tuesday, after being banned from the platform in July 2021.
In one of his first tweets back, Fuentes posted a short video advertising the 2024 presidential campaign of Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West. The video included an apparent reference to a previous antisemitic tweet from Ye, in which he threatened to go “death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE.”
Croatian President Zoran Milanovic not on board with Ukraine war, so at least some common ground with Serbia
…Milanovic also commented on the backlash to his comment earlier this week, when he called the conflict in Ukraine a “proxy war” against Russia – for which he was complimented by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
“When I call it a ‘proxy war’ in which Ukraine is the biggest victim, and that only Washington and Moscow can negotiate its end, I am merely quoting Ukraine’s current defense minister, who said NATO is fighting Russia with Ukrainian blood. But no one wants to hear that,” the Croatian president said. “I won’t allow us to be turned into a little dog that just goes around in a big pack and keeps barking.”
