July 9th 2024

A Russian strike on Ukraine killed at least 36 people. It was the worst attack on the country in months. In Kyiv, the capital, missiles hit a children’s hospital. Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine’s president, said that at least 40 missiles had damaged infrastructure in the capital, as well as in Dnipro, a central city, and two eastern cities. On Tuesday NATO allies will meet in America, where they are expected to pledge more military support for Ukraine. [The Economist]

What’s up, everybody! Here is a new VLOG from my YouTube official account. Thankfully le Nouveau Front Populaire won the 2nd round of the Elections Legislatives in France. Unfortunately, nobody had the majority of the votes. There’s still a lot of work to do, hopefully there will be a new NFP Prime Minister. In addition, England did not fall to the Extreme-Right, which would have been dangerous, especially since everybody was Extremely Hot (La Chaleur) due to the weather, and they simply could not handle it, especially with Great Britain being in the Semi-Finals of the Euro 2024. Holland, Netherlands, Pays-Bas (Country that does down), with the miracle of millions of fans and supporters drinking Heineken, the beer of choice for the Champions League, were able to go to the next round of the competition. In amazing fashion, every elder heroes in the French Military were together, drinking PASTIS, having the loudest party ever, praying, wishing, to any being, supreme or not, for France to go to the Semi-Finals. Spain, home of Ibiza, also went to the Semi-Finals. Unfortunately, for Spain, my father lost his wallet in that godforsaken country, which had a photo of his wife, my mother, from their wedding, in a war-torn country under fire by the Soviet Union. Their only original photo from that day. Needless to say, France will beat Spain, with the firepower of Zidane and other former World Cup winners, such as Didier himself. Looking forward to the next couple of days of the competition. I am sorry, I had a terrible weekend, I just saved the world, again. Again? Yes, and it was the July 4th weekend, and I still didn’t get a new vehicle. American Dream and Way of Life under jeopardy. They really want me to do it, they want me to lift the Pyramids of Egypt. I am sick of their bullshit, I want a new car, now. PS, le RN qui perd, le NFP qui gagne, c’était un putain d’miracle.

Until Next Time!

What’s up, everybody? It’s June 22nd, 2024. So excited about Manchester United. I’m a huge fan and supporter, and my little brother is a big Arsenal supporter. We’re going to see both of our respective teams play in a friendly clash for the MU Summer Tour (don’t forget to enjoy MU RADIO, my Rock N Roll and Alternative Music Radio Station) this summer in California. Very excited. #Football #Soccer #Bros #Guinness (or) #Heineken PS, Alex Ferguson, if you have a day off, please come over. Wear your Hublot watch, I will wear my SEIKO Japan watch.

PPS. Even more exciting, I think my little brother is finally buying himself a Playstation 5, meaning I can give him my red DualSense controller, that was his favorite PS4 gamepad color. EA SPORTS FC 24 or FC 25 ought to be fun next time around.

Until Next Time!
