The Duran has been watching Zelensky clothing choices carefully. They predicted some time ago that he would not be wearing combat fatigues, but more casual clothes. They are waiting for him now to be changing to a smart business suit before long. The Russians are preparing for a celebration. I bet they are aiming for a May Day agreement, or before.

Some humour is looked for, but the tragedy can be overwhelming. Ukraine is no stranger to mass tragedy sadly. Godfrey has it right.

Federal Judge Rules in Favor of Elon Musk’s Government Efficiency Team, Allowing Continued Access to Sensitive Records from Three Federal Agencies By Jim H?ft Feb. 15, 2025 8:15 am U.S. District Judge John Bates has ruled in favor of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), allowing Musk’s budget-slashing team continued access to critical records from the Department of Labor, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The ruling deals a major blow to the entrenched bureaucracy and their progressive allies, who sought to block Musk’s efforts to streamline bloated agencies and cut unnecessary spending. A coalition of left-wing unions and nonprofits had desperately attempted to shield the agencies from oversight, but the judge’s late-night decision on Friday kept DOGE’s mission alive. U.S. District Judge John Bates, an appointee of former President George W. Bush, declined a request by unions and nonprofits to temporarily block Musk’s team from accessing records at the Departments of Labor and Health and Human Services, as well as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. In his written opinion, Judge Bates noted that it was likely the government was correct in asserting that DOGE qualifies as an agency, thereby allowing it to assign its staff to other government departments. This ruling empowers DOGE to proceed with its mandate to identify and rectify wasteful practices within these agencies.
