The last update to this blog was posted on September 8,
2024, just over a month ago.
This update captures the high points of what has happened
in the past month. I have tried to make this
update more of a chronology within each subject category.
My health remains pretty good, overall. However, I am still dealing with some
pulmonary issues.-
This blog update is about 100 pages of links to the news
covering the last month. There are fewer
pages than normal because there were fewer changes in veteran-related
legislation. For more details about
veteran-related legislation, see the earlier/prior blog updates.
The links appear in the categories listed below,
including Veterans; Criminal Justice and Racism and Ageism and other
discrimination; Economics and Coronavirus; Economics and Corruption and
Healthcare and Education; Ecology and Pollution and Climate Change; Politics
and Coronavirus; Politics; Terrorism; Military; and General and Miscellaneous
(includes spirituality, music, etc.).
Don’t forget to click on the items in the column on the right to open
the pages for those categories. Then,
click on the link to each article for details pertaining to that headline.
The war of resistance by Ukraine against the Russian
invasion about 32 months ago continues.
During this period, Ukraine continued an invasion (counterattack) of
Russia. Find these stories under “terrorism.” It appears that when hostilities
end, Ukraine will become a member of NATO.
Russian losses seem to be significantly higher than Ukranian
losses. Millions of refugees have
resulted from the war.
On the political front, President Biden was persuaded to
pass the torch to Vice President Harris, who then picked Governor Tim Walz to
be her running mate. We have some
extremists in our nation on opposite poles – one wants fascism (a merger
between the oligarchy and government) and the other wants communism. The middle wants liberty and justice for all.
The world is in a great struggle to determine if the
dominant form of government will be authoritarianism or democracy. Even here in the United States, long known as
the world’s beacon of democracy, there is a question about whether democracy
can survive without another civil war.
It must be noted that democracy is not a spectator sport; rather, one
must participate in the democratic process by supporting your preferred candidates
and legislative initiatives and voting in every election.
Let’s remember that two obvious existential threats faced
by humanity are climate change and nuclear holocaust.
We must continue
to resist tyranny, fascism, authoritarianism, racism, sexism, misogyny,
xenophobia, ageism, etc. The three
impurities of life are avarice, anger, and ignorance. What others need from us is respect,
kindness, and love. The more respect,
kindness, and love that we give to others, the more respect, kindness, and love
we get in our lives and the better we feel about ourselves. The 8 billion human beings on planet earth
need to cooperate more with each other and compete less with each other. We all need to learn how to equitably and
sustainably share the resources of the earth with each other and with all other
species on planet earth.
Peace and love to all.
