Great, because that won a Pulitzer and has a related theme. My book is part fiction and part nonfiction. The threat of a nuclear “incident” and war is probably the greatest it has ever been, given Trump and Putin armed, dangerous and somewhat mad. All book proceeds go to Doctors Without Borders.

Since you are a book reader, try my "The Warning: A Novel for the Nuclear Age" by Thomas Lee - on Amazon. At 87, the last and possibly ,because of its message, the best. Thanks.

Don't you know that Donald Trump is experiencing the stigmata? Few have had that privilege, and it emphasizes the close relationship that our President has with his Savior. Those "cankles" result from the wounds adorning Trump's feet. The gash in his side causes a slice in his tee shots.

www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/... No, the decisions to reject vaccinations for children are not "informed decisions." They are uninformed conclusions after listening to people who are either ignorant of known science or are deliberately ignoring it. This is a clear recipe for killing kids.

Well, that's a relief. Isn't it such fun being on the cusp of nuclear annihilation because of computer glitches? The only way out is nuclear disarmament, to mention a widely unpopular topic. It will eventually be " We warned you" time, but at that point we won't be around to say anything at all.
