Donald Trump has wanted something this large, but Chinese President Xi Jinping pulled it off yesterday.  Marking the 80th anniversary of Japan's surrender in World War II, Tiananmen Square was the location of  China's Really Big Parade .  More magnificent than  Trump's 79th Birthday Parade  in DC this summer.  Twice as many soldiers marched, and twice as many aircraft flew over Ji's parade. Maybe more important than the event itself was who were there:  Russia's President Vladimir Putin, Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian and North Korea's Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un, leaders of the Evil Axis.  Also: Besides Iran, North Korea, and Russia, heads of state or governments from more than a dozen other countries also   attended   the parade. These included a number of Southeast Asian countries—Cambodia, Laos,   Indonesia , Malaysia, Myanmar, and Vietnam—as well as Pakistan, Nepal, Mongolia, and the Maldives. Others in attendance included l...

During the past few weeks I have focused on the theme of War and Peace on this nostalgic Tuesday.  However, I previously only analyzed the War portion.  This all  began on August 5  with my first  Huffington Post  article:   Well, Barack, We have a Problem.. ., which was published on 29May2008.  That initial  HuffPo  was an article on peace. On 23March2009 my  HuffPo  was entitled  The 10% Solution .  This essay provided details to that first attempt:  an ultimate plan to attain World Peace. The timing was right, for the world had suffered through the  Great Recession  from December 2007, and would continue through the date of this article into June 2009. The U.S. stock market had dropped 35%, but Chinese and Russian stocks fell 70%. There was no serious enemy during this period, for Iran was losing money producing oil, there were ragtag bunches of terrorists in the Middle East and North Korea was ...

The Middle East is getting scarier with more   American bombings, this latest joined by the UK of Houthi rebels in Yemen .  They're the ones attacking ships in the Red Sea shipping lanes.  So far, Iran has been untouched.    Republicans in Congress  criticized President Joe Biden for his anemic response, and   some went to far as to condemn him   for not striking Iran.    Trump said   Biden is to blame for the U.S. deaths. I've been posting too much about Donald Trump, on  29January 2023  and  30January2024 , and a more recent one a couple of days ago  comparing him with Barack Obama .  I had one more difference which I did not include, and on reflection, so horrified me, that I thought I'd share this startling revelation. So to continue, Barack Obama won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2009 and Donald Trump has a sexual abuse conviction where he had to pay off his victim $5 million, which was recently upped to a tot...
