Donald Trump, a prominent figure in politics, has recently exhibited some concerning behavior. It has come to the attention of professionals that he may be in need of assistance in his understanding of various matters. Notably, his comprehension of medals seems to be lacking.

There have been instances where Mr. Trump has expressed a belief that helicopters are surveilling his every move. This unfounded suspicion raises concerns about his state of mind and critical thinking abilities.

Furthermore, reports suggest that Mr. Trump's personal grooming habits may be cause for concern. It is alleged that his fingernails have grown to an excessive length of five inches, which may indicate a disconnect from personal hygiene norms.

In a puzzling development, Mr. Trump has expressed a belief that grapes function as miniature televisions. This peculiar notion not only demonstrates a lack of understanding regarding the nature of grapes but also raises questions about his grasp on reality.

Perhaps most alarming is Mr. Trump's apparent belief that he is the returned Christ. Such delusions of grandeur are often indicative of a deeper psychological issue that should be addressed by professionals in the field.

Additionally, it has been reported that Mr. Trump is known to sing off-key and has made racially insensitive remarks about two African American individuals and a priest. This behavior is not befitting of someone in a position of influence and speaks to a lack of respect and understanding of cultural diversity.

Given these concerning observations, it is crucial that Mr. Trump seeks appropriate professional assistance to address these issues. It is in the best interest of his own well-being and the well-being of those around him that he approaches these matters with a willingness to learn and grow.

Dystopian Conquer Technique

By Bob Shannon ED

Throughout history, leaders and politicians have utilized the strategy of divide and conquer to attain and maintain power. By creating divisions among their enemies or opponents, they weaken their collective strength and make it easier to control or defeat them. This tactic has been employed in various contexts, from military conquests to political campaigns.

In military warfare, dividing the enemy forces can be crucial to victory. By isolating smaller groups and attacking them individually, the opposing army's cohesion and effectiveness are diminished. This strategy allows the conqueror to overcome their adversaries one by one, rather than facing a united front. The success of Julius Caesar in Gaul is a prime example of this approach.

In politics, dividing the populace can be equally effective. By exploiting existing divisions or creating new ones, leaders can manipulate public opinion and gain support from specific factions. This can be achieved through various means, such as emphasizing differences based on race, religion, class, or political ideology. By stoking fear, resentment, or distrust among different groups, politicians can consolidate their power and maintain control over a fragmented society.

Although the divide and conquer strategy can be highly effective in achieving short-term goals, it often comes at the expense of unity and social cohesion. By accentuating divisions, it can perpetuate conflict, fuel animosity, and hinder collective progress. It is a tactic that relies on manipulation, exploitation, and the erosion of trust.

In an ideal world, leaders would focus on uniting people, fostering inclusivity, and promoting cooperation. However, the reality of politics and power dynamics often leads to the use of more divisive tactics. The challenge lies in recognizing when unity is needed and when division is strategic, and ensuring that the long-term consequences are carefully considered.

Ultimately, the phrase "divide et impera" serves as a reminder of the enduring nature of this strategy in human history. It highlights the importance of remaining vigilant against attempts to exploit divisions and the need to strive for unity and cooperation in the face of adversity.

Remember to slow down and consider that everyone you meet today is walking through the midst of their own story. Have patience. Don’t assume. Be curious. 

Try to walk in their shoes for a just a moment. Do you remember how it feels to be in a place of victory? Then celebrate with them. Do you remember what it was like to feel powerless? Then offer compassion. And if you’re not in a place to do either? Ask God to help you check your ego. To simply say; I don’t know what they’re going through and maybe it’s none of my business. We’re not always invited into someone’s story, but we’re always invited to have empathy.

• Vladimir Putin has said that Russia had no choice but to take into account the nuclear capabilities of Nato as the US-led military alliance was seeking the defeat of Russia. “In today’s conditions, when all the leading Nato countries have declared their main goal as inflicting a strategic defeat on us, so that our people suffer as they say, how can we ignore their nuclear capabilities in these conditions?” Putin told Rossiya 1 state television, according to Tass.

• The west, Putin claimed, wants to liquidate Russia. “They have one goal: to disband the former Soviet Union and its fundamental part – the Russian Federation,” Putin said, according to Tass. The west, he said, was an indirect accomplice to the “crimes” committed by Ukraine.

• Ukraine’s military said that Russia conducted unsuccessful offensives near Yahidne over the past day, after Russia’s Wagner mercenary group claimed to have captured the village in eastern Ukraine near the focus on intense fighting. The General Staff of Ukraine’s Armed Forces said in a morning update that Russia keeps concentrating its offensive efforts along the entire Bakhmut frontline, were Yahidne is located.

• Two Russian rockets hit a house on the outskirts of Kramatorsk, one of the main towns in the Ukrainian-controlled Donetsk region, on Saturday afternoon. The rockets appear to have missed their target, falling on the side of a local GP surgery, devastating the house next door as well as damaging houses around it. A Guardian team on the scene assessed the rockets shells likely came from a Russian Smerch rocket launcher.

• US president Joe Biden has said the prospect of China negotiating peace between Ukraine and Russia is “just not rational”. Speaking on ABC News about China’s peace plan, he said: “I’ve seen nothing [that] would indicate there’s something that would be beneficial to anyone other than Russia. The idea that China is gonna be negotiating the outcome of a war that’s a totally unjust war for Ukraine is just not rational.”

• China has not moved towards providing lethal aid that would help Russia in its invasion of Ukraine, and the US has made clear behind closed doors that such a move would have serious consequences, White House national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, said on Sunday. “Beijing will have to make its own decisions about how it proceeds, whether it provides military assistance, but if it goes down that road, it will come at real costs to China,” Sullivan said in an interview with CNN’s State of the Union programme.

• The German defence minister, Boris Pistorius, said it was up to Kyiv to decide when, and under what conditions, to enter talks with Moscow. He suggested the same was true for any decision on recapturing the Crimean peninsula that Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014.

• Alexander Lukashenko, the president of Belarus and a close ally of the Russian leader, Vladimir Putin, will visit Beijing this week, China’s foreign ministry confirmed. Spokesperson Hua Chunying said Lukashenko was due to visit between Tuesday and Thursday, but gave no details about his agenda, the Associated Press reported.

• Algeria will reopen its embassy in Kyiv one year after it was closed over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Algerian state television said on Sunday, citing a foreign ministry statement. “This decision falls within the framework of preserving the interests of the Algerian state and the interests of the national community in this country,” state TV quoted the foreign ministry statement as saying.

Climbing a live Volcano…South America, Quito Equador

Daniel, the tallest is getting married on Friday. My daughter and her husband went on a trip to Volcano National Park to climb a volcano. They got to see a small eruption while not terribly far from the top. Here is where the stopped at 16,000 feet in elavation. Everyone not accustomed to the height felt the lack of oxygen. My daughter wisely decided to stay at base camp. She was feeling a lack of oxygen. I’m sure she was abs happy as the others. Pictured here is Dan, grandson Kyle, grandson Jake, and Clint, friend of the family. PJs husband Brandon took the picture.

Above is the peak of Cotopaxi, the tallest live volcano and considered one of most 

danger, yet tours and walks are given to those brave souls. I’m glad they had such

 a great opportunity.
