True or not, it sounds like something Mrs Churchill would say. A powerful woman behind the throne.
There’s an old story about Winston Churchill and his wife, Clementine, walking through the streets of London.
As they strolled, people recognized the famous prime minister, greeted him, and tried to catch his attention.
Then a street sweeper approached. But instead of speaking to Churchill, he struck up a surprisingly warm and familiar conversation with Clementine.
Curious, Churchill asked his wife who the man was.
“Oh, just an old admirer,” she replied. “Many years ago, he was deeply in love with me.”
Churchill smiled and joked:
“Imagine, my dear. If you had married him instead of me, you would be the wife of a street sweeper today.”
Clementine looked at her husband and calmly replied:
“No, Winston. If I had married him, he would be the Prime Minister today.”
Sometimes, the person standing beside a great leader deserves far more credit than history gives them.
So this week we had a red bellied black snake in our pool, a water monitor too, and right now a fly catching huntsman. Australia, not for the faint of heart!
Gay dementia???????? Who knew.
"In multiple rallies, Trump has gone on and on about the relative hotness of male politicians, soldiers, and even protesters. As a result, people on the internet have diagnosed him with a novel medical condition: gay dementia." From @helenlewis:

Let's be clear: Ukraine did not start this war. Russia did.
What American national interest is served by helping an imperial dictator at the expense of a democracy fighting for its survival?

Donald Trump is continuing to shower Vladimir Putin with gifts, while Vladimir Putin is continuing to shower the Ukrainian people with ballistic missiles.
My latest on Trump's betrayal of Ukraine and also what are supposed to be American values.
American betrayal.

Slava Ukraine. Zelensky is the Churchill of our times.
Arrived in Norway with my team. Important meetings are scheduled: a trilateral with Jonas Gahr Støre and Alex Stubb, a bilateral with Steve Witkoff, and a meeting of all four of us. I will also have an audience with King Haakon VIII of Norway and a meeting with the Storting. We are maintaining all contacts that can help bring peace. We will also discuss strengthening our air defense and joint production. I am grateful to everyone who supports Ukraine and a dignified path to peace.
Trump is tokyo rose.
Q: Zelenskyy says you're on the wrong side of history
TRUMP: What'd you say?
Q: Zelenskyy says you're on the wrong side of history
TRUMP: Zelenskyy doesn't know what he's talking about. Zelenskyy is a man that should've had this war settled a long time ago. It's time for somebody else to negotiate on behalf of Ukraine

Before you close your eyes tonight, think of Ukraine.
We’re exhausted.
We’re frightened.
We’re carrying more than anyone should.
But we’re still here.
And this is still our home.
He is a pox on democracy. And yet, 71 million Americans voted for him, and for their dollars to be donated to millionaires.
Australia stands with Ukraine
Slava Ukraine
The trend this year continues – since the start of fall, our warriors have liberated more territory than the Russians have managed to capture. The same was true at other points this year. We continue to press the Russians at the front.
Dobropillia, Kostiantynivka, Oleksiievo-Druzhkivka, Orikhiv, Novopavlivka, Novoandriivka, and Velykomykhailivka are all under Ukrainian control. We are also defending the areas near Kramatorsk and destroying Russian forces 20 kilometers from Zaporizhzhia, not 5, as someone over there in Russia is snowing Putin.
Our front is strong, and I thank every warrior and every one of our units that is carrying out its tasks in full.
Putin’s puppet. @HillaryClinton was right. All along. She was right.

Dear America,
We are either on the side of the innocent people who were invaded, killed, mutilated, raped and kidnapped and who are fighting back or...
We are on the side of the killers, rapists and invaders.
It's that simple.
America must stay with #Ukraine

🇺🇦 Zelenskyy delivers a blunt message to the United States:
“Just give us Starlink back. If you refuse, Ukraine will survive. We will continue defending ourselves with or without it.
But why would you restrict a country fighting for its survival? Why make it harder for us to defend our people?
I simply cannot understand the reasoning behind this decision. It is a mistake.”
Ukraine isn’t asking America to fight its war. It’s asking America not to stand in the way of its defense.
