I sat down yesterday afternoon to choose my subject matter(s) for today’s post(s), and I found I had six tentative titles ready. And they were all stale.

Oh, they’re current news, all right. It’s just that they’re ongoing news — subjects I’ve covered, perhaps over and over again — and all I can do now is continue to update them.

Well, yes . . . updates are important. If the subjects are significant, then keeping current is certainly beneficial. But, from fear of boring you (and myself) with the same-old-same-old, I’ve decided to give you a quick synopsis of each of the six items today, as I go off in search of some new news to sink my teeth into.

So here are the six for today, at mach speed:

*. *. *

The Ghost of Yevgeny Prigozhin. He’s still dead, but his Wagner Group of mercenaries is very much alive, and mostly doing their dirty work in Africa, under the complete control of Vladimir Putin’s government. Surprise, surprise!

Stuck In Space. More problems for Boeing and the Starliner astronauts on the International Space Station. Scary.

The Reemergence of the Hostages. They’re recuperating, making plans for continuing their opposition to Putin’s regime in the future, even from exile. Good news!

“Putin’s Brain.” A lunatic named Aleksandr Dugin apparently has Vladimir Putin’s attention. I may have to follow up on this one; he’s not your run-of-the-mill nut job. Very scary.

Hungary Is At It Again. Viktor Orban, playing footsie with immigrants from Russia and Belarus. The EU isn’t happy. No surprise there.

Dear Mr. Peskov. I’m sure my readers are sick of hearing about the Kremlin spokesman, and wondering why I find him so interesting. I’d like the answer to that myself.

*. *. *

So there you have it. You see? I can be brief. Not very informative, but certainly brief.

Just sayin’ . . .
