Before the ‘Final Solution’ There Was a ‘Test Killing’

Too few know the history of the Nazi methodical mass murder of disabled people. That is why I write.

Germany has been good at forgetting.
Various areas of the U.S. have been more skilled.
Hospice does not rush things.
Hospice care for infants is tough for all.
Hospice at home I would rather not do again.
I was going to give the duty to my sister but she ran away.

Fox Host’s ‘America First’ Shift Makes an Exception for Trump’s Iran Strike

The transformation of Pete Hegseth — an Ivy League-educated, decorated Army platoon leader — is a symbol of the Republican Party in the Trump era.

"“I have been debating Pete Hegseth for 12 years, and I can’t tell you what he stands for other than himself and his own ambition,” said Jon Soltz, who served as an Army officer in the Iraq war and is a founder of VoteVets, a liberal group that advocates for veterans."

Militaries are hierarchial.

The Nightmare Stage of Trump’s Rule Is Here

Unstable and impeached, the president pushes the U.S. toward war with Iran.

Iran is more skilled at negotiation than Trump.

I have more hope for the impeachment.

The Odd Couples of the Democratic Party

Iran, impeachment and Iowa are making for some strange bedfellows, just the way politics is supposed to.
