”Hello, is this Lost-in-Found?” a little boy’s voice asked.
“Yes, it is. What did you lose, sweetie?”
“My mommy.”
“When?”
“I don’t remember… She is kind, beautiful, and loves puppies.”
“You’re lucky! We’ve just found one mommy matching your description. Sending her your way...”
“Ben, are you calling Lost-&-Found again?” The orphanage director took the phone from the boy.
“Yes! They’ve found her!”
“That’s a cruel joke,” the director said into the phone, hanging up.
“Not a joke,” an angel replied, matching Ben’s file to an adoption application with a photo of a beautiful woman holding a puppy.

Modern Russian Propaganda Street Art
May 14, 2023: pro-war “Z-patriotic” Russian street artists Sasha Montlevivh and Alexey Chizhov sprayed a triptych of Chechnya President Ramzan Kadyrov, Wagner chief Evgeny Prigozhin, and Vladimir Putin on the Kadyrov bridge in St.Petersburg, Russia. Referring to a classical Soviet triptych of Marx, Engels, and Lenin (below), the graffiti suggests KPP are the founders of the Russian “New Order.”
