    1. I clicked through to the original article, and it is impressive.

    2. Similarly:
      Why Trump is Now Openly Embracing QAnon [Click] “Despite his seeming inability to remember anything from one thought to the next, Trump has a kind of lizard-brain awareness of danger. . .”

    3. Speech is lodged in the so-called lizard brain. It sort of runs on automatic. Dementia affects the temporal lobes which are not set up to recognize deficits. In addition, in my experience, dementia is variable. This means there is no linear progression and care providers never know where they are at. Very difficult and upsetting for relatives to deal with.
      Wonder who's got his power of attorney.

    4. I remember back when Trump was running for President, I saw a collection of excerpts from TV interviews he had decades before; the deterioration in his speech patterns was dramatic.

  2. ‘Out of control’: rise in STDs, including 26% syphilis spike, sparks US alarm [Click] Very few people are aware of the horrors of tertiary and congenital syphilis.

  3. Putin is about to escalate in Ukraine and maybe even call it a war. He's speaking tonight.
    Occupied territories are calling for a (fake) vote about joining Russia.

    1. He doesn't have much of anything to escalate with. Running out of men of military age, military equipment, morale, and money. Even if he resorts to tactical nuclear weapons, Ukraine wins. I expect that no matter what he does, the Russian empire will disintegrate, both economically and politically. Europe as a whole will neither forget nor forgive. IMO.

    2. Putin has clearly long feared assassination; if he were to flee Russia he certainly couldn't expect as good a retirement as King Farouk; but something on the order of Idi Amin should be possible, or perhaps even Fulgencio Batista.

    3. Putin Is Cornered [Click] “The West faces a simple choice: reduce aid to Ukraine and deliver Russia a victory, or else finish the job it has begun.” I was very surprised to read that not all 155mm NATO ammunition fits in all 155mm NATO guns.

    New York Attorney General Letitia James — who has been investigating Donald Trump and the accounting practices of his company — is scheduled to make a “major announcement” tomorrow morning.
