Not so fast there. One of the guys I hang out with was an 0801 in the Marines (that's an Artillery Officer). He said that something doesn't look right about the damage done in that picture. His point was that the round that hit the wall was either a dud or it was a very light round. Either way it doesn't look like something a Russian would have used. According to him, most Russian rounds are either heavier than reported or explosive. To him this looks like a crap round.
Another point he made was that if this was a school then the Russians wouldn't have bothered targeting it, since it's neither a point of military importance, nor would have been a place that could be guaranteed to be voided of Russian citizens.
After listening to him go off about this, I'm thinking that either this was done via wreaking ball or was done using a shape charge attached to the outside of the wall. Either way the only reason for anyone to target a school is for propaganda reasons. That doesn't sound like something the Russians, nor the Ukrainians would do. Maybe this has NGO written on it.

Caled, is the squares/triangles the same kinda things as when you go to bed and close your eyes and you see the yellow and blue and red shapes?
If so, it brings to mind something Gene Decode said - that our pineal gland, as our 3rd eye with chromatic cells, has the ability to see on the infrared and ultraviolet wave lengths...WHEN NOT BUNGED UP WITH FLUORIDE.
I've been trying to work with this theory when I go to bed and close my eyes... for example; when my head is pointed towards a window, do I see a squarish shape with blue on the inside and red/yellow on the outside? Meaning that my pineal gland is seeing the cold of the window and the warmth of the room.
Talking of... way past my bed time, so time for zeds.

...one of the most straightforward, yet markedly consequential riders in all the Constitution, the Seventh Amendment:
In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.
...
Not only does the Seventh Amendment protect against corruption in the courtroom, but it also prevents a trial judge from wearing too many hats, having too much control and playing too many roles.

More info on the U.S. convoy. There appears to be two separate teams attached to two different organizations with different dates/routes to DC. The People's Convoy and The American Truckers Freedom Fund:
Newsom said the approach — which includes pushing back against false claims and other misinformation — means maintaining a wary watchfulness attuned to warning signs of the next deadly new surge or variant.
And there will be no immediate lifting of the dozens of remaining executive emergency orders that have helped run the state since Newsom imposed the nation's first statewide stay-home order in March 2020.
This pandemic won't have a defined end. There's no finish line," he told the AP. With that in mind, he said his administration tried to craft "a plan that allows us to be prepared without being paranoid and more alert to what's happening around us without being anxious.
Living with COVID-19 under Newsom's plan means boosting the state's surveillance, including increased monitoring of virus remnants in wastewater to watch for the first signs of a surge. Masks won't be required but will be encouraged in many settings.
Testing and staffing in the affected area will be increased, including temporary medical workers to assist strained hospitals.
The plan calls for a continued emphasis on efforts in vulnerable and underserved populations that have experienced disproportionately high death rates. And it includes new education, including "myth-buster videos" to fight misinformation and disinformation and help interpret ever-evolving precautions for a confused public whiplashed by safeguards that seemingly shift by the day and vary across county lines.
It relies on continued testing sites including in schools, more over-the-counter virus tests, building and tracking strategic stockpiles of testing kits, surgical and K95 masks, hospital gowns and gloves, ventilators to breathe for the most seriously ill. In coordination with the federal government, it calls for a first-in-the-nation study of the pandemic's direct and indirect impacts long-term on both people and communities.
This is exactly what people are going to be asking in the next few weeks: Are we in a new phase? How do we live with this disease without living in fear?" Newsom said.
He expects other states and the federal government to soon follow California, because "I think the public will be demanding of this."
We are amongst [the] pioneers of this approach," he said, referring to the smart lockdown strategy under which only virus hotspots are placed under lockdown.

The item — a pewter military button embossed with the letters USA — was found embedded in mineral deposits in Florida that had formed around a cannon after spending centuries underwater. The vessel sank one mile off the coast of St Augustine in late 1782, less than a year before the end of the war, while evacuating British soldiers and loyalist civilians from the nascent republic. Archaeologists are unsure of the ship’s name, referring to her simply as the “Storm Wreck” — as the records in the National Archives at Kew are missing the relevant pages.
