This election was all about hate for one man
Norma, Collecting My Thoughts - 16 hours ago
Hate is a powerful emotion. It's more motivational than love, family, power, or money, as I've learned these last 4 years. Although hate for President Trump comes from a number of sources, it's primarily issues on life. Or death, as abortion really is. If you claim that's not your motivation for hating Trump, you're kidding yourself. Just try suggesting the party has gone too far by not protecting the unborn and see how many Democrat friends you have left. It's the hate. For Trump. Yes, Trump is arrogant, he tweets to skip over the stifling power of the un-elected media, he knocks...

Did British and Russian (Nuclear) Submarines Really Collide in 1981?
The National Interest - 15 hours ago
*History, Europe* To this day the Ministry of Defence has skillfully evaded confirming or denying there had been a collision involving the Sceptre, or for that matter, any other British submarine. On May 23, 1981 the Soviet submarine K-211 Petropavlovsk cruised quietly at nine knots, one hundred and fifty feet below the surface of the Arctic Barents Sea. The huge 155-meter-long Delta III (or Kalmar)-class submarine was distinguished by the large boxy compartment on its spine which accommodated the towering launch tubes for sixteen R-29R ballistic missiles, each carrying three ind...

Watching, waiting, and hoping for electoral peace

We probably won't know a definitive result until late next week, if neither side concedes - and I doubt that t...
