When the bullets start flying, the traders start buying...

 The stock market does not care at all about world events. 
Down 800 one day, up 800 the next... 

After retreating on Thursday supposedly because of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, U.S. stock markets rebounded sharply yesterday as bargain-hunters bought in and investors cheered news of possible diplomatic talks.
While the ridiculous act of military aggression continues to 'cast a pall' over the economies of much of the West, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, Nasdaq and S&P 500 gained between 1.6% and 2.5%. The Dow’s 2.5% rise was its biggest in percentage terms since November 2020. In the media sector, gainers far outweighed decliners, with the winner’s circle including Fox Corp., AT&T, Roku, Comcast and Dish Network. There were no downturns of any particular note, though shares in both Disney and Netflix finished essentially flat for the day.
The Dow rose 834.92 points to close at 34,058.75, while the Nasdaq gained 1.6% and the S&P tacked on 2.25%. Just the market's way of saying 'do whatever the fuck you want' I guess...

Joe Biden - the spineless fuck that he is -  offered to evacuate Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky from Kyiv - but he declined. “The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride,” Zelensky said, The Associated Press reported, citing a senior American intelligence official with direct knowledge of the conversation.
Zelensky, 44, instead chose to remain in Ukraine’s capital as Russian forces brought the fight to the city streets, where gunfire and explosions were heard overnight Friday into Saturday.
The besieged president said his family had been evacuated to safety. 
“I am staying in the government quarters together with others,” Zelensky said in a video address early on Friday. “The enemy has designated me as target number one, and my family as target number two.”
Zelensky addressed his countrymen again on Friday night, telling them to brace for an overnight assault and urging unity and strength.

It's almost like it's some kinda bizarre big dick contest or something. 
Governor David Ige (of course this jerkoff is a Democrat) said Friday that Hawaii will not be following the new CDC guidance on masks ― and will keep its indoor mask requirement in place for now. Is he a Doctor? NO. Is he a medical professional in any capacity? No. Is he a power hungry jerkoff politician who can't let go? Yeah.
