Millennials, also known as Generation Y (often shortened to Gen Y), are the demographic cohort following Generation X and preceding Generation Z.

Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo said on Saturday Russian and Belarusian athletes "were not welcome" at the Olympics being staged in the French capital this year.

"I want to tell Russian and Belarusian athletes that they are not welcome in Paris and to tell Ukrainian athletes and all the Ukrainian people that we support them very strongly," Hidalgo said in a video posted by Ukrainian YouTube channel, United News.

Hidalgo made her comments on a trip to Kyiv where she visited a training centre for Ukrainian athletes.

Russian athletes can compete in the Paris Olympics, which run from July 26 until August 11 but only as neutrals.

Russia and Belarus have been banned from taking part in the opening ceremony which will be staged on the River Seine in the heart of the city.

Mainline industrial confinement livestock producers routinely feeding subtherapeutic antibiotics to their animals have been desperate for an alternative for many years. As superbugs like cDiff and MRSA developed, consumer backlash against ubiquitous antibiotic use increased.

MEANWHILE: AFTERWORD...

Nearly two decades have passed [GUS: 2004 EDITION AFTERWORD] since Hot Money first appeared in print [1983 EDITION]. Since then much has happened, yet little has changed, except perhaps for the worse [THINGS HAVE GOTTEN FAR WORSE SINCE 2004]. To do even partial justice to the panorama of sleaze that has formed the core of recent world financial history would require a small encyclopedia - maybe not so small. However, most of that history consists of variations, grand and petty, on a few larcenous themes already developed in the original text. Those themes were fourfold.

The failure of Ukraine’s 2023 summer counteroffensive against Russia was “easily predictable,” according to US tech entrepreneur and venture capitalist David Sacks, who has suggested that the Washington elite should be held accountable for talking up the doomed operation. 

Sacks’ comments came in response to a post on Saturday by Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, who condemned the unnecessary loss of life suffered by Kiev’s forces as they attempted to “attack a larger army” that had superior defenses. 

The failed Ukrainian counteroffensive was “one of the biggest debacles in the history of modern warfare,”Sacks said in agreement, adding that Kiev’s soldiers and tanks had effectively run “headlong into minefields while Russian artillery rained down on them from heavily fortified positions.”  

US President Joe Biden is facing an angry backlash from conservative and religious critics after he made his annual proclamation of March 31 as Transgender Visibility Day – a date which this year coincides with Easter Sunday.

According to the White House, the celebration is designed to “honor the extraordinary courage and contributions of transgender Americans and reaffirm our Nation’s commitment to forming a more perfect Union.”

“Today, we send a message to all transgender Americans: You are loved. You are heard. You are understood. You belong. You are America, and my entire Administration, and I have your back,” Biden wrote in his proclamation on Friday.

AN IDIOTE CALLED Michelle Bentley, A Reader in International Relations, Royal Holloway University of London, WITH A DIPLOMA IN STUPIDITY, IS PANICKING ABOUT A TRUMP US PRESIDENCY... HER SHRIEKS ARE INSANE... NATO IS GOD, AND TRUMP WANTS TO  MAKE WHATEVER. LET'S BE CLEAR: NATO IS A FASCIST WAR MACHINE. NATO IS A SHOCKING NAZI WAR MACHINE... BUT MICHELLE BENTLEY, A YOUNG WOMAN WITH LITTLE EXPERIENCE IN LIFE — POSSIBLY BORN IN THE LAST SHOWER — BELIEVES IN NATO LIKE A CATHOLIC BELIEVES IN CHRIST OR AN ALCOHOLIC BELIEVES IN SPIRITS... SHE'S NUT. THE CONVERSATION IS NUTS!!!! THIS IS WHAT SHE STARTS WITH:

...OR ANY OTHER ENGLISH MEDIA, INCLUDING THE GUARDIAN…

THIS FROM ONE OF THE GUARDIAN READERS:

In her article (As brutal war rages and famine looms, look at pictures of Gaza and keep saying: ‘this is not normal’, 25 March), Nesrine Malik compares the invasions of Ukraine by Russia and Gaza by Israel and the US reaction to them. She seems to think she is comparing like with like, but she is not.

'Russia Won, NATO Lost': France Leader Drops Bombshell; Global Panic Over Ukraine's Loss?

SINCE THE TIMES ARTICLE BELOW FROM A MONTH AGO, THE SITUATION FOR ZELENSKY HAS GOT FAR WORSE:

I doubted whether or not it would be possible, but Russia has managed to trace the funding to at least one of these terrorists – back to the Ukraine.

The FSB is the world’s premiere intelligence and safety agency, which is why these attacks are not happening all the time. They didn’t even lock down Moscow after the attack. Instead, they did massive raids and deportations of Moslems, quietly, while the people remained free to go about in safety without the oppressive atmosphere of soldiers everywhere.

Why did Rishi Sunak downgrade me from security threat No 1 and hand it to China? The black dude who strolled into No 10 in loafers. And the Baltimore conundrum. Plus incontinent Biden

New NATO member admits ‘sovereignty’ issue with US pact
A military agreement with Washington comes at a cost, Helsinki has said

A new military cooperation agreement with Washington limits Helsinki’s sovereignty, the Finnish Foreign Ministry said on Thursday, advising that its ratification will therefore require a two-thirds majority in the parliament.

Finland joined NATO in April 2023, abandoning a decades-long policy of neutrality. It began negotiating a Defense Cooperation Agreement (DCA) with the US almost immediately, and signed it last December. 

Russia has hit back after a senior White House official accused it of peddling “manure” by claiming that Ukraine may be linked to last week’s terrorist attack near Moscow.

Moscow believes the attack may have been masterminded by Ukrainian special services who used a group of radical Islamists to carry it out. Washington has urged the world to accept the claim of responsibility by ISIS-K, an Afghanistan-based offshoot of Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS).

At a press briefing on Thursday, White House National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby called the Russian skepticism “nonsense and propaganda.”

US President Joe Biden is set to host a record-breaking fundraiser in New York City, alongside his predecessors Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.
The gathering and concert will raise over $25m (£20m) for the Democrat's re-election campaign - the most ever for a single political event, says his team.
They are looking to extend a growing cash gap between the president and his Republican challenger Donald Trump.
Polls suggest the race for the White House rests on a knife edge.

Thursday's event at New York's Radio City Music Hall comes after a Biden campaign blitz in battleground states that could prove pivotal in November's vote.

The 81-year-old has been seeking to capitalise on momentum following his State of the Union Address earlier this month, which was well-received by Democrats.

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military- industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

— President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Farewell Address  (1961)

In the late 1980s I had a student in an American history class who said that the United States won the war in Vietnam. I felt dizzy. Maybe I had misunderstood. So, I asked him to explain. “My father,” he told the class, “said that we had won the war because we won most of the battles and we killed more of them than they killed of us.”
