This Blog is created to stress the importance of Peace as an environmental directive. “I never give them hell. I just tell the truth and they think it’s hell.” – Harry Truman (I receive no compensation from any entry on this blog.)

McDermott criticizes the current models of the Russian military.
I believe this only came out today. The author Roger N. McDermott has written extensively about Russia and it's use of technology within their military structure.
Brothers Disunited: Russia’s Use of Military Power in Ukraine (click here)Roger N. McDermott (click here) specializes in Russian and Central Asian defense and security issues and is a Senior Fellow in Eurasian Military Studies, The Jamestown Foundation, Washington DC, Senior International Research Fellow for the Foreign Military Studies Office (FMSO), Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and Affiliated Senior Analyst, Danish Institute for International Studies, Copenhagen. McDermott is on the editorial board of Central Asia and the Caucasus and the scientific board of the Journal of Power Institutions in Post-Soviet Societies. He recently wrote The Reform of Russia’s Conventional Armed Forces: Problems, Challenges and Policy Implications (October 2011).
"The Apprentice" officially opens today.
Americans should go see it and understand how deep down within his malignant narcissism Donald is good at taking direction for his life so long as he is growing more and more wealthy at others expense. He was great at taking directions from communists during his time as president. The communists would tell him to jump and he simply asked, "How high?" It is the path to peace according to Trump.
Malignant narcissism (click here) is a psychological disorder in which a person has an inflated sense of self-worth, a need for admiration, and a disregard for others. A malignant narcissist may experience paranoia, feeling threatened or persecuted without proof, and are aggressive, manipulative, and abusive without remorse.Thursday, October 10, 2024

Milton is big trouble.
The vital "60 Minutes" Presidential Interview.
It is my opinion and only my opinion that Trump refused to sit through an interview with our minority Vice President. He chronically complains about her ethnicity. There is no reason to think his obstinance in sharing the same air space with our magnificent Vice President is based in disdain of minority citizens.
I find the support of Former US Rep. Liz Cheney invaluable to the outcome to the 2024 Vote. It is one thing for a Republican to state, "I am not voting for Trump." It is quite another thing for a Republican to state, "I am supporting Kamala Harris for President with my vote." Republicans are welcome to vote for whoever they want in the down ballot, but, if not voting for Trump for president, please, cast the vote for Kamala. The country's democracy is counting on it.
It should be no surprise Kamala Harris has a gun and practices with it. Ask law enforcement people, be it police or lawyers or prosecutors or judges if they take their protection seriously enough to conceal carry. Practicing at a shooting range is vital to safe handling of any gun, but, particularly handguns. I speak from experience. Please don't purchase a gun and stick it in a safe place and never look at it again until the day or night it is needed. Everyone that owns a gun should be practicing regularly with it. Regularly is a matter of building competency and does not require dedicated time weekly or monthly to achieve competency with firearms. Own the gun and own the operations of the gun, your life may depend on it.
Thank you for a very interesting interview, Bill Whitaker.
I have a problem with the idea that Trump is seeding disinformation as a campaign strategy (click here). That idea of normalizing disinformation as a strategy to win an election completely puts the country in danger. This is a campaign for President of the United States of America. If a voter is simply thinking, "Oh, that disinformation is just a campaign strategy," what are they expecting of a president? Competency? Truth telling? Or a comedy routine that masks the seriousness that should be met with the responsibilities of the Oval Office.
I find Trump's misinformation dialogues troubling and frightening. President. He is not President material. NOT AT ALL!
So, when a reputable news agency or journalist normalizes the disinformation as a campaign strategy that eliminates fact checking as a vital component to decision making.
The American democracy is based in truth telling. There are oaths citizens take when making witness in trials that demand them to tell the truth and nothing but the truth. The candidates for office at any level, but, especially the presidency of the USA, should be testifying every day to their policies. It chills me to think Trump could simply give a press conference as he did during the COVID pandemic and normalize injections of bleach, etc. People died because of such irresponsible statements. Young people died because he made them believe COVID was a hoax. DIED. PEOPLE DIED because of Trump's disinformation. What the heck is a journalist thinking when they normalize misinformation? They certainly aren't journalists.
If racist Trump came on "60 Minutes" as he should have to talk to the American people, he would have had to be truthful. Is there any wonder why the Republican Ringmaster of the party's circus was absent?
Thank you Kamala and Tim. You have no idea how wonderful it is to hear both of you speak about the country and the hopes of it's future.
The Virginia Governor is lying about the electorate?

Richmond — Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) (click here) has been warning that illegal immigration poses a threat to democracy as he campaigns this fall for former president Donald Trump, boasting about purging 6,303 noncitizens from the state’s voter rolls during his first 2½ years in office.
“Noncitizens will be prosecuted if they vote,” Youngkin cautioned last month during a telephone rally with Trump in which the former president spoke of an “invasion” by criminal immigrants and claimed his opponents will “cheat” to defeat him.
But a review of state court records and interviews with elections officials found no evidence that any noncitizens have tried to vote during his term in Virginia, which does not allow residents who are not citizens to vote in any elections. As few as three people have been prosecuted for illegal voting of any kind in Virginia between Jan. 1, 2022, and July of this year, the records showed. None of those cases involved a question of citizenship....

NUSEIRAT, Gaza Strip (AP) — Ali Al-Taweel (click here) was born as Israeli warplanes started to pound the Gaza Strip after Hamas’ surprise cross-border attack on southern Israel.
Now, the Palestinian child will celebrate his first birthday as the Israeli-Hamas war reaches its one-year mark. For his family, it’s been a year filled with uncertainty and anxiety as they moved from place to place amid widespread destruction and limited resources.
“I had arranged another, very sweet life for him,” Ali’s mother, Amal Al-Taweel, told The Associated Press in an interview. “The war has changed everything.”...
