‪This is nine year old Kiril. His mom is a dear friend. They live in an apartment in Kyiv. There are daily air raid alarms, some lasting hours. So they spend those hours sheltering in a nearby subway station. Kiril goes to sleep at night like this, after praying he will awake alive in the morning.

Ever read history and wonder what it was like living in Germany before Nazis came to power in 1933? Well, just look around you at today's United States.

A rule of nature is that every thing eventually declines and ends. This is true of every object, process, system or life form in the universe. It's true of countries including our own, for there's nothing slowing or stopping the destructive effects of corrupt political forces in the USA today.

VP Vance on live NBC News today: "they were way too close to building a nuclear weapon for the comfort of the President of the United States." About Biden's term: "Back then, we had a dumb President;" later saying, "...of course we trust our intelligence community, but we also trust our instincts."

Looks like we have a King whether we like it or not, want it or not and care or not.

I have every confidence that President Trump had the best intelligence source available to make his decision to go to war with Iran. (His best intelligence source is, of course, himself.)

@corybooker.com is this actually your vote? What were you thinking?

Are we lucky or what? San Diego has a cloud angel keeping watch over our fair city.
