Lessons of Kindness

What Is Project 2025? . Content Warning.
Even for those who do their best to avoid political news, American elections tend to gather monumental global attention.

As a Canadian, I'm told by many that it doesn't affect me, that only Americans need worry about the outcomes of their elections. That's simply not true.

Just when you thought the action was confined to the pitch, along come revelations that add a new twist to the off-field drama. Yes, we're talking about the recent leaked messages suggesting that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman may have exerted his influence over the ownership of Newcastle United.

Until My Dying Days
On October 27, 1997 in Phoenix AZ, I raised my right hand and took the Oath of Enlistment, required upon entry into U.S military service, for the first time. Over the course of my 24 year career as a Navy Diver, I would take it another five times.

"End of the World"
Every time we are about to vote in the presidential election where Trump is a candidate (third time now, hopefully a charm to get him out of politics), I remember the "End of the World" episode of Trackdown that is eerily similar to our today's reality.
