9. Which history will you buy?

The screenshots below stop short of the map of the region, for the simple reason that the one shown by Sean Davis yesterday below his text had the 2010 election results, showing what we’ve come to know as the case … that the south-eastern regions, not as far south-east as Odessa, were largely Russian speaking, obviously backing Yanukovich, whilst Kiev eastward and down to Odessa favoured Timoshenko … in fact the west and Russia were pretty much at one on that in 2010 … though the west favoured Timoshenko, whilst the Russian speakers mainly favoured Yanukovich. Leave corruption out of it, as both candidates were.

Now, an alternative map was put up by someone in comments … the fine print said it was the official diagram of the Ukraine govt plus NATO of 2019 election results … and you can check that I tell not porkies here … which said the only region not wanting the Clown was in the far west, over by the Polish border, whilst the Donbass and surrounding regions were firmly for the Clown, except for those small dissident pockets not voting in protest … that’s the Zelensky line and he’s sticking to it.

Never mind that if the Donbass were firmly for Zelly Boy, then obviously that’s why he and his predecessor had been constantly shelling the Donbass, the Russian speaking area … one always shells one’s strongest support enclaves, no? In other words … total bollox from Kiev.

Here’s Sean Davis’s X post:

8. Kash Patel day today across the pond

The distraction of course is the horrific Graham/Thune omnibus they’re trying to push above the two other branches of govt’s own agreed budget, backed by the American people in terms of the election victory numbers.

Yes, the checks and balances also apply to rogue Senators, just as much as to DJT and the House.

7. DAD at 974

a) A French doctor, like so many targeted by the transgender movement’s attempts to force collective compliance, had to find out the hard way that trans militancy very much does concern him.

b) Not satisfied withe the result of an MOT test? An employee of a vehicle MOT center in Villeurbanne was the victim of a gunshot wound on Tuesday afternoon, February 18.

c) A man was arrested on the A75 after throwing €100,000 from his vehicle. Customs, who managed to recover all the notes, opened an investigation to determine the origin of the funds.
