At overflow rallies in Ohio & Michigan in support of Dem. candidates, Pres. Obama showed again why he's in a class by himself with his eloquence, intelligence & wit & what America has lost with someone as corrupt, dishonest, indecent, depraved & incompetent as Trump in power.

I sincerely hope the military, both active and veterans, are paying attention to Trump. Please do not tell me he cares about any of us. Recently he and Hegseth demonstrated how much they cared with the USS Lincoln and conditions they allowed. When asked about the extended deployment Trump said “It was not long enough”. He has removed SNAP benefits. He said he would eliminate the toxic waste at Camp Lejune “IF” the GOP won elections. He continues to be a disgrace

Obama was in good form today. He described Trump 2.0 as “two years of chaos and cruelty and corruption,” which was marked by “incompetence the likes of which we have not seen in modern times.”
He chided Trump for all the gold in the WH, likening it to what decor would be like if Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory.
And he was especially strong against Ramaswamy and his "lack of decency" and "low standards" trying to "rescue his failing campaign, which won't work." The crowd loved it.
And so did I.

I just introduced legislation to ban live-streaming public executions.
As an Army JAG, I oversaw the post-trial legal proceedings following Nidal Hasan’s horrific attack at Fort Hood. I believe he should face the fullest consequences of the law.
But turning executions into public entertainment is what terrorists and authoritarian regimes do. It has no place in America.

Donald Trump is amazing. My grocery cart used to hold $100 worth of food, and now it holds $250 worth of food. I don't know how he does it, but the man is a genius.

It is unbelievable that millions of Americans approve of a president who has great friendships w/the dictators of Russia, China & North Korea but thinks the democratically elected leaders of Canada, France, Great Britain & New York City are enemies of the US.

Exiled on the island of Patmos, John writes down a vision. It has seven churches, seven seals, four horsemen, a beast from the sea, and finally a new heaven and a new earth. Revelation is the last book of the Bible and its strangest. Its imagery is meant to be heard aloud, and for most of history that's how people met it. The complete King James text, narrated by Mike Vendetti.

Paul Bäumer is 19 when his schoolmaster talks his whole class into enlisting. By the time they reach the Western Front, the speeches mean nothing. What's left is mud, shellfire, hunger, and the friends he's trying to keep alive. Remarque's 1929 novel is still the clearest account of what the First World War did to the young men who fought it. Unabridged, narrated by Mike Vendetti.

This was my unit in Vietnam. I was medevaced on Oct 29, 1965. My replacement LT Clinton Anderson, was KIA on 22 February 1966. Today, to say I am bumbed out would be a severe understatement. Earlier, I posted about CPT Steven Thuet from South St Paul, KIA 20 Feb 1968, and then this popped up. Anderson and I graduated in the same class at OCS. Our serial numbers were 13 apart. That claymore that killed Clinton also killed Leo Krumbine, my radio man, and killed SSG Ray, who rode with me to the disembarkation point. I was there when SSG Ray said his last goodbye to his wife and kids.

It seems like Democratic candidates are the only ones proposing actual solutions, while Republican candidates just want to scare people.
Fellow veterans, I went through basic in 1962 and Infantry OCS after that, bayonet training included. Those of us who trained for close combat know something most civilians never have to think about.
Andreas Latzko knew it too. He served in WWI and wrote Heimkehr in 1917, about a soldier who comes home carrying the face of a man he killed. I translated it and narrated the audiobook, The Homecoming. Coming home is the hardest part of the story, and I suspect many of you will recognize it.

If The Homecoming stayed with you, please leave a rating or a short review on Audible or Amazon. Even one sentence helps other readers and listeners find this forgotten WWI story. I'd especially like to know which moment hit you hardest
