Well, it's good afternoon now. This will probably be the only publication I submit today since the big bad doctor ate most of the "sandwich" that is my morning.π Well, I will make do with what's left of the sandwich.
It is still cloudy out, but at least the temperature is back up to where it should be for this time of year: 50Β°F.
On the topic of temperatures, it is 44Β°F βοΈin Kyiv, UKRAINE.
πLet us pray π for the war victims and the homeless. Let us also pray for the homeless in America and those who are about to join their ranks; pray for the elderly and the sick and help them through the most significant death from famine since the Great Depression.

HMM, WHAT NOW, WHITE MAN, CHIEF ORANGE FACE!πͺΆ
πLet us also prayπfor the victims that will be greatest since the bubonic plague and other viruses left unchecked, with numbers of death not unlike World War 2 UNLESS SOMEONE GETS OFF THEIR ARSE and says, THAT'S ENOUGH INSANITY! This one is called the...

If not, Heaven forbid, maybe by next year, you can learn how to play the Krypto game. Considering you have a lot of credit cards.

βMerit boardβ chair was unlawfully fired by Trump, judge rules, keeping her on the job
The chairwoman of a critical agency that reviews federal employee firings can stay on the job, a judge ruled Tuesday, formally reversing President Donald Trumpβs βunlawfulβ decision to fire her.
District Judge Rudolph Contreras handed a major victory to Cathy Harris, chair of the Merit Systems Protection Board, an independent agency that has the power to review and reverse federal employee firings. The little-known board has taken on new importance as Trump initiates mass government layoffs, leading to thousands of firings, and more on the way.
The judge ruled that Harris can remain on the board for the rest of her term, which expires in 2028, unless she is fired for cause, as specified by the statute that established the MSPB. Trump administration officials didnβt cite any cause when they attempted to fire her in early February.

Premier Doug Ford announced the measures Tuesday, adding he's warning lawmakers in New York, Michigan and Minnesota that if the tariffs "persist" Ontario will put a 25 per cent surcharge on electricity flowing into the states and potentially cut the flow off entirely.
Ontario supplies roughly 1.5 million customers in the border states with electricity.

La presidenta de la "junta de mΓ©ritos" fue despedida ilegalmente por Trump, dictamina un juez, lo que la mantiene en el trabajo
La presidenta de una agencia crΓtica que revisa los despidos de empleados federales puede permanecer en el trabajo, dictaminΓ³ un juez el martes, revirtiendo formalmente la decisiΓ³n "ilegal" del presidente Donald Trump de despedirla.
El juez de distrito Rudolph Contreras le entregΓ³ una importante victoria a Cathy Harris, presidenta de la Junta de ProtecciΓ³n de Sistemas de MΓ©rito, una agencia independiente que tiene el poder de revisar y revertir los despidos de empleados federales. La junta, poco conocida, ha adquirido una nueva importancia a medida que Trump inicia despidos masivos en el gobierno, lo que lleva a miles de despidos y mΓ‘s en camino.
El juez dictaminΓ³ que Harris puede permanecer en la junta por el resto de su mandato, que expira en 2028, a menos que sea despedida por una causa, como lo especifica el estatuto que estableciΓ³ la MSPB. Los funcionarios de la administraciΓ³n Trump no citaron ninguna causa cuando intentaron despedirla a principios de febrero.

ONTARIO RIPS UP STARLINK DEAL, PLANS TO TAX ELECTRICITY IN RESPONSE TO TRUMP TRADE WAR
-Ford previously threatened to cut off electricity supply to cross-border transmission lines-
Ontario will rip up its $100-million deal with Elon Musk's Starlink internet provider and U.S. companies will be banned from procurement contracts as part of the province's response to President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canadian goods.
Premier Doug Ford announced the measures Tuesday, adding he's warning lawmakers in New York, Michigan and Minnesota that if the tariffs "persist" Ontario will put a 25 per cent surcharge on electricity flowing into the states and potentially cut the flow off entirely.
Ontario supplies roughly 1.5 million customers in the border states with electricity.
He also threatened to surcharge or cut off critical mineral exports to the U.S. should the trade war linger.
"We also need to be ready to dig in for a long fight," Ford said. "We need to be ready to escalate using every tool in our tool kit."
Ford spoke at Queen's Park just after hours Ontario's primary liquor wholesaler and retailer confirmed it will stop purchasing and selling U.S. alcohol.
The LCBO previously offered some 3,600 American products sourced from 35 states, amounting to roughly $1 billion in annual sales. As the province's main booze distributor, it means grocery and convenience stores, bars and restaurants and other retailers will no longer be able to buy U.S. alcohol.
