Since then, the US government's economic sanctions on Russia — as well as spending, military training, intelligence sharing, and weapons transfers to attack the Russian military — have increased as the economic conditions in America have declined. Some of that economic decline is a result of the actions against Russia, as Biden suggested would be the case. Other parts of the decline have other causes.
New poling results from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research indicate that Americans are increasingly wary of incurring economic costs in America due to efforts to inflict pain on Putin or, as the poll puts it, "sanctioning Russia." In fact, despite the nonstop hate Russia propaganda in the big money media, the polling indicates the majority of Americans are now opposed to harming the American economy to advance the anti-Russia crusade that Biden and most US Congress members have been pushing.
Support among polled individual for "sanctioning Russia as effectively as possible, even if it damages the US economy" dropped from 55 percent on March 22 to 51 percent on April 22 to 45 percent on May 22. Meanwhile, support for the contrary position of "limiting damage to the US economy, even if it means sanctions on Russia are less effective" rose each month from 42 percent to 45 percent to 51 percent.
Americans seem to be increasingly viewing fighting Russia as not worth the cost Biden mentioned in his March 8 speech. Will many politicians in Washington, DC soon come around as well?
More about the poll results may be read here in a Tuesday Associated Press article by Nomaan Merchant and Hannah Fingerhut.

Add music to the list of living in sin, if Lucy controls it all.
Ugh.
There are good songs out there, in all the different kinds of music, I like those songs, is what I should have said. Classical to calm the beast within, Rock to pump things up, Pop for some happy songs, Crooners of old for those life lesson songs, Celtic/maritime music to keep things real, opera that's not about death, despair or people dying. Damn, need a music service to get access to these songs.
As we grow older our tastes change, one taste that has changed for me music wise, is learning about the perversions of some musicians. Once I learn, I stop listening to their music. Groups I use to like, I like no more. Take Rob Lowe for instance (not music) after his perversions came to light in the late eighties early nineties, I can only watch him if he is only a small role of the production and not the main role, or the eagles, because DH is such a nasty piece of work. Knowing his nastiness, puts a different perspective on all his songs.
BTO, great songs! Tragically Hip, great songs that were almost played to death! Leonard Cohn good songs, but a little to depressing for me. I'm not a fan of melancholy. Ashley MacIsaac phenom. To watch him playing with the masters in kitchen parties before he was even finished school, amazing.
I am missing some things, but I think it should be clear that the puppet Bribem administration is here to destroy America and its values
