KYIV—Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made an urgent plea for every American to make sure and do their taxes so that he will get paid.
The lovable actor-turned-president whose net worth stands at $1.3 billion says that he’s relying on the American taxpayer to “do your part” to ensure that Zelensky can maintain his fleet of private jets and luxury yachts.
“I turn to you in this critical moment, American taxpayer, because I have already siphoned off all of Ukraine’s disposable income. Please, please, please, pay your taxes so that I will get paid,” Zelensky said in a video directed to the American middle class.
Zelensky assured the American taxpayers that their global elites will get paid too.
“Please knowing that we are giving 10% of all the aid directed to my bank account right to the ‘Big Guy’ Joe Biden and of course Hunter Biden will receive his cut too,” Zelensky said.
“April 18th is approaching fast. Please don’t make the IRS come after you for my money,” Zelensky added.
Just kidding. The US government will pay Zelensky before they do anything they’re supposed to do.
Corticosteroids are the gateway drug for old people.
Corticosteroids – the great miracle drugs.

I always thought Carville was entertaining.
My real abhorrence is reserved for others of his ilk.
I never could stand in Carville. I remembered that he was annoying, but didn’t remember exactly how annoying he was until I tried to watch that video. The one that’s linked below. No freaking way. I just had dinner, and I like to keep it down.
The cortisone shot seem to have worked. Yay me! I was actually able to do two whole miles on the treadmill, though I went a little bit slower than I usually do. Since hubby is working on my car, I fixed him dinner, will put it in the fridge, and he can eat it whenever he’s ready. Then I’m going to wash dishes, and after that do my night time work. I figured cooking dinner for him and washing dishes at least I can do since he’s trying to fix my car. We’re good like that, we fill in each… Read more »
The morning was spent with both of us seeing several doctors for routine stuff that all was deemed to be normal. Great news there. Then we came home briefly to feed kitty and went out to lunch.
Have not yet read the Chron for today, more like browsing through it, to see if WW3 started yet.
I must go shopping for flowers tomorrow so they can be planted before the heat really begins later in May. My previewing what the nursery has was a big help.
Eeek, May arrives already tomorrow.
:ahhhhh:
Texpat has asked us minions to fill his ample shoes of posting while he is gone. No one requested it but I know you want it, I will be resurrecting my yearly SPEEDO REVIEW. You’re Welcome
I missed who did the poll, but I heard on the radio a new one out of college students in America said out 16 issues ranked in order of importance the whole Israel/Palestinian/Gaza issue was at #15. The media is making a much bigger deal of this than it really is, but they like the excitement.
If you missed James Carville’s nervous breakdown go here. It’s hilarious and profane. Be forewarned !
We are going to be down on Congress Avenue at the Paramount Theater on Thursday night. It’s around 9th street and the UT Tower is at 22nd Street. I’m figuring the Hamas kids won’t be ranging that far south.
I wonder what is happening with that pre-fab city Elon Musk was building near Bastrop. He just laid off 2,700 employees who were supposed to be living there. Might be some deals on property.
Austin is indeed one of our destinations.
But the campus is not.
The C&C round up from today:
Good morning, C&C, it’s Tuesday! Your roundup of everything you need to know about what’s going on in the world includes: Trump stock price ‘unexpectedly’ jumps as second trial week starts; another miraculous gift lands on the Trump trial; another trump-deranged law professor admits its a trial about nothing — in the New York Times; Ukraine aid narrative shrinking faster than Alice after eating the mushroom that makes you small; China pushes back on historic Biden peacetime war powers; and the WHO pandemic treaty shrinks to a more manageable size.
Now I need to go check the food I have running through Elsa. Time for the first weigh-in.
Garden update: the borage is blooming, and those flowers are purty. Tomatoes are coming along, with one of them showing the first signs of blushing. Tomatillos everywhere are making the pollinators happy, but no sign of fruit yet. Not that I can see, anyway. Peppers are ripening, and I gathered another good handful of bush beans. My asparagus beans are beginning to put out flower pods, and that makes me very happy. My seedling asparagus are putting out second teeny tiny fronds in their little cups, and my paprika seedlings are maturing, but slowly. I put both of those out… Read more »
I had my doctor appointment – finally! – this morning. Saw the same PA as the last time. I reported that I completed the ear drops she prescribed before but the pillow-in-ear feeling remains. I told her one case where a loud restaurant’s background noise and a surge in the pressure created a virtual wall of white noise and I couldn’t hear well out of that ear. She was very concerned when I told her that, but she thinks it could be an allergy related issue even though I’m not experiencing any allergy symptoms. So I’m waiting for Hubby to… Read more »
Stay away from Austin, what with you being a Red Sea Pedestrian and all.
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: I will be southbound to Texas in the morning. I’ll be there for 8 days so my posting and commenting will be light. Carry on….
Hmmm.
Texas AG Ken Paxton is in New York to support Trump.
I’m thinking that if we take back the U.S. Senate, Paxton would survive the confirmation process to replace Merrick Garland. 🙂
We are losing our Aunt Lois, she is the last of my mom’s generation. RIP lady, you’ve had a long struggle.

HEADLINE: Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf Resigns Less Than One Month After Introduction of Hate Speech Censorship Law
What is really cool is that he made a vile racist speech complaining that, except for him, all the leadership was composed of white people . . . . in a country that is 96% white. After his speech there were thousands of complaints phoned in for hate speech against white people.
Bottom line: the man is a vile tyrant and Scotland is just a bit better off with him not in a position of power.
The Hamas riot encampment on the UCLA campus was invaded by hundreds of white mice. Commies blame the Zionist geeks from the science labs at the school.
Babs gets blowback.

The Florida Attorney General takes on Biden and the President of Mexico in this video. She is introduced at the 10:08 mark.
I just saw a blurb on Fox that said something about the Savages that have taken over Columbia University commandeering a building and taking the janitors hostage?!?! WTF?!?! If this is true will they be punished for kidnapping? I for one am NOT holding my breath. ~SPITS~
The flies have been so bad here I tried an old trick that seems to help – fill small zip lock bags with water and hang them up. Supposedly, the water magnifies their reflection and it scares them off. Well, some newcomer hummingbirds think it’s a dirty trick as they keep coming around checking them out. I feel bad, need to get a couple of feeders.
How come our birds are so much slower than Alabama’s birds?
Are you packing your bags yet, Texanadian ? Canada introduces blood-curdling new ‘thought police’ law that would make even Stalin blush…Canada has fallen. It’s become the North Korea of the West, and it’s getting worse every single day. This new bill they’ve introduced is the cherry on their tyrannical sundae. It’s called the Online Harms Bill C-63, and it would make even Stalin blush. As a matter of fact, tyrannical dictator Kim Jong-Un would look at this bill and feel an instant rush of communist inadequacy. With this new bill, Justin Trudeau is fueling those online rumors that his real… Read more »
While Squawk and Bsue were sleeping last night, 2,712,600 birds flew right over their heads on a due north heading at 19 mph and 2,200 ft. altitude.
Good morning to everyone. Coffee time.
Yup, Genesius Times, I think they’re better than the Babylon Bee but only by a little. Well it looks like all the rain is in far north Alabama, figures.
