  1. Meet the prosecutor who indicted Trump and scares him more than anyone [Click] Very good backgrounder on Alvin Bragg. I had forgotten that he prosecuted the Trump Foundation case, and he also handled several other famous cases.

  2. Joe Blogs: China Debt Crisis as Belt & Road Initiative Loans Default and China Faces Economic Collapse [Click] Russia’s Belt and Road debts to China were taken on with the assumption that Russia’s profits from oil and gas sales would continue as before, but then came the Russia-Ukraine war and resultant sanctions. The war also adversely affected other countries with Belt and Road debts.

    I’m so grateful for key links to help me keep up with the news. Grands (ages 7 and 4) arrived Thursday, we head back with them to NH today, home tomorrow evening. I’ve been rising 3-4 hours early each day. Sooooo tired, but it’s still been bliss. No chance to even glimpse the news. Ha!

    Last time my kid was here, doing river work, he noticed a critter running from the river to under my house. On further investigation turns out the critter was a couple of otters using my house as some kind of shelter. I have never seen them, but am tickled at their arrangement.
