This week's Sunday Postcard Art theme was "Edgy." The meaning was to "focus on the edges and not the centre of the postcard." I have two edges in this: the jagged edge on the left side, over the woman, and the book binding type edge on the right side. The book cover, which I made from a blend of a few images, is torn away, creating the jagged edge.

Snow Squall - Photograph

I took those photographs during the snow squall that came through my area in the afternoon, here in Connecticut (CT), United States (US). I took all of the photos through glass panes (windows / doors), so the quality isn't the best. We don't normally get snow squalls here, so I naively thought it would only be heavy snowfall for a short period of time. When it arrived, it had very high winds that blew the trees around. It's hard to tell, but in the last photo, that pine tree (and all of the others) were bending in all directions as the wind buffeted them. It was very scary, and I was relieved no trees fell.

What follows below is Free Speech satire / parody / mockery / sarcasm / what have you:

A "certain" news story has more plot twists than a Soap Opera. The good news is one can miss several days of reports about it, and one will not have missed anything important to the main plot, just like in a Soap Opera. If you didn't hear the submarine story, don't worry: you didn't miss a thing. It's a he said she said, and loyal patriots will believe what their Government tells them happened, and know that the "other" Government is lying about what took place. But some in the audience have commented that their popcorn is getting stale, waiting for "something" to happen. Tune in next month... and the story will probably be the same as it is today.

Today is Super Bowl Sunday here in the United States (US), and the game will be played in a stadium in Inglewood, California, which is "about a 20-minute drive from Los Angeles," California. California and Los Angeles County have (or had) some of the strictest covid-19 rules in the US. And as of the date that I scheduled this blog post, their strict rules about mask wearing at outdoor events with over 5,000 attendees were still going to be in effect on Feb 13, 2022. But I have no doubt that if Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti is attending the game, he will hold his breath whenever he is socializing maskless. Because apparently somewhere in the Rule, that is allowed. And I'm sure anyone who is interested can find the news story about him holding his breath while maskless during the Playoff game that was held in that same stadium on January 30, 2022, because Big Tech and Social Media never censors facts.

Just like last Friday, once again, Bloomberg News has foretold when Russia will invade Ukraine. This time they say it will be on Tuesday, February 15, 2022. Beware the Ides of February, no? Oh, wait, Ides would make it Super Bowl Sunday. However, I heard from my unnamed double agent source, who works in the Kremlin, that Russia will invade Ukraine on March 1. He also told me that later today, when Biden and Putin speak on the phone, this will be their conversation:

Putin: I know what you did in 2014.

Biden: I know what you did then, too.

[...silence for awhile...]

Putin: Enjoy the profits you're making on the skyrocketing oil prices.

Biden: You too. To the moon!

The Super Bowl is this coming Sunday, February 13, 2022, here in the United States (US). Unlike Christmas 2021, Fauci isn't advising people to turn away the unvaccinated from their house door step, nor is he advising against private gatherings of more than 30 people, so all of the Super Bowl Parties are good to go! And this week, several Democrat Governors in the US started announcing end dates for mask mandates. It won't be long now, before President Biden announces covid-19 has been conquered. Perhaps he will do that on March 1, 2022, when he gives his State of the Union address to Congress, and he can say, "Mission Accomplished".

Wow, just wow. Bloomberg News February 4, 2022 Live: Russia invades Ukraine

Reported live when it had not happened (yet?).

Bloomberg News retracted the headline about 30 minutes later.

It's like a deja vu.

BBC News September 11, 2001 World Trade Center Building #7 has collapsed

Reported live when it had not happened yet.

Now I have to wonder if the Bloomberg News report will become true in the near future, just like the BBC News report did.

Everything I have stated in this post is FACT. And I'm sure anyone who is interested can still find that BBC News video, because Social Media never censors facts. Interestingly, the live BBC News feed cut out just before World Trade Center Building #7 (WTC7) collapsed in the background behind the reporter, who had announced its collapse about 20 minutes or so before it actually happened.
