Writerken.com is restored. I learned yesterday that some readers logging on to my website were able to land on my home page but could not access any posts from there. I alerted the tech guys at KC Web Specialists, and they soon had things back in order. So, for those of you who missed my last post on Scientific American’s presidential endorsement, it’s now available again (see that here). That post generated considerable interest. And Scientific American’s full article endorsing their candidate can be found here.
As my followers know, I write on a variety of topics here, but this year I’ve focused a bit more on politics and governmental Snafus. Why that focus? Quite simply, because of my concern over the unsettled state of our nation, not to mention the increasing tensions throughout the globe. The world is full of hostilities. Putin invaded Ukraine over two years ago, and that war has now slaughtered over a million people, destroyed cities and villages, and shows no signs of ending. Hamas attacked Israel almost a year ago, and violence in the Middle East is escalating, now spreading into Lebanon, where Hezbollah reigns. Just yesterday, Israel killed longtime Hezbollah leader, Hassan Nasrallah, in an airstrike. China is saber rattling in waters in the Pacific. North Korea’s leader, and his nuclear arsenal, are unstable and dangerous. Iran, where one hears “death to America” shouts, soon will have the bomb.
World War III?
Is World War III in our future? That’s a scary thought, but a genuine possibility to consider, especially when one reads the special report of the Commission on the National Defense Strategy, which says The threats the United States faces are the most serious and most challenging the nation has encountered since 1945 . . . The United States last fought a global conflict during World War II, which ended nearly 80 years ago. The nation was last prepared for such a fight during the Cold War, which ended 35 years ago. It is not prepared today (see that detailed, and frightening, report here).
And how is our government responding? Not well, I would suggest. I intend to write my congressmen and women and ask them what they are proposing to remedy the lack of preparation of our country to defend itself should war break out. If you’re interested, perhaps you should do the same.
And of course, there is our upcoming November election, a topic I imagine I will write more about now that writerken.com is restored. Here’s an idea, if you truly believe one of these two candidates is actually capable and well-suited to serve as the President of the United States of America, please write to me with your reasons for believing that. I would be happy to put some or all of your opinion on this site. As I’ve said here before, I find neither of these two to have the qualifications, or the character, that we need as our president in these crucial times.
