The greatest athlete to ever play soccer is no longer in the game. Pelé, Brazil’s ‘king of soccer,’ has died. He was 82 years young.

As a cub reporter in Miami, I had the good fortune to be assigned to interview The ⚽️ KING but he said he was late for an important date and would only do it in Portuguese so I agreed and we also did a Spanish version. If I find the clip it will be here: He was kind, competitive, a gentleman, and The Champ.

Peace on earth and goodwill towards all who do not discriminate, always follow the rules, and will never do anyone any harm. 

How did humanity take a sharp turn and go from WE to ME in just a few years? Peace on earth. It doesn’t feel like it. The world is full of conflict. Since the angels’ announcement, we have seen an endless string of wars. The peace announced by the angels was very different than the end of the war itself because fighting and war have gone on forever.

Putin and Trump are both infamous pathological liars and not real geniuses as they would want their followers to continue believing.

Their American and Russian admirers will accept everything they are told but will never accept freedom and human rights regardless of race, sex, nationality, ethnicity, language, religion, or any other status. Human rights include the right to life and liberty, freedom from slavery and torture, freedom of opinion and expression, the right to work and education, and many more.

Top of the morning to you is usually associated with the Irish and denotes the meaning of best of the morning to all of you!

 It is a more creative way to say “good morning” which can be responded with “and the rest of the morning to you.” Although the expression is tagged as a typical part of Irish phrases.

Common knowledge is that Russian billionaire mobsters thrive in London while reportedly enjoying investing.

They're Oligarchs who have a strong connection between Russian money and illicit finances. A recent report by Parliament’s intelligence committee called London a “laundromat” for tainted Russian rubles. London is an airing cupboard: where loot ends up after being rinsed elsewhere.

The Russian ruble weakened to 76 per USD in mid-February as increased geopolitical tension and fears of western retaliation brought investors to sell their ruble positions.
