Donald Trump failed in the Alaska meeting with Putin

In my Substacks article, I wrote about Donald Trump's obvious aging disabilities.  Check my article at this site here.

Echoes of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, evil Stalin, and Yalta at the failed Trump Anchorage summit with Putin. A letter to the editor published in The Boston Globe reaffirms the aging health assessment I wrote about in my sutstacks article linked above. 

There is perhaps one common point between Donald Trump and FDR (Franklin Delano Roosevelt), but it is a sad and frightening one: 

At the failed Anchorage meeting between Trump and President Vladimir Putin of Russia, the eerie capitulation Trump exhibited to Putin bore a striking resemblance to the Yalta conference of 80 years ago, where an ill and weakened President Roosevelt was manipulated by Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin. 

Nearly 50 years of Cold War ensued.

Like many bullies, apart from his bravado Trump is fundamentally weak.

History is said to repeat itself❓

School shootings in America are a horrible public health epidemic: Must be treated with prevention strategies!

MADISON, WI- Yet another school shooting occurred at Abundant Life Christian School on December 16, 2024, in Madison Wisconsin. 

Where is the will to end the school shooting tragedies?

Echo opinion letter published in The Boston Globe:

Official says Wisconsin shooter was new student at the Christian school where her victims had deep ties.

Aside from finger-pointing and litigation, where is the active prevention of this kind of violence and the follow through to act❓

The normalization of school shootings in America must serve as a wake-up call. We must no longer merely react to these tragedies — we must ask ourselves, “What is happening here? Why is this happening?” We cannot accept such violence as normal — we must act.

While media coverage often focuses on the immediate tragedy, the critical question of why — as in, what motivates these acts — often goes unexplored. Understanding these motives is crucial for both public awareness and effective prevention. Mental health professionals need this insight to intervene early, before issues escalate into violence, whether in schools or the broader community.

I propose establishing a commission of behavioral health experts dedicated to investigating the motives, triggers, and warning signs of these violent events. This commission could offer vital guidance on how to identify and address dangers before they reach a breaking point.

If we continue facing these tragedies without meaningful prevention steps, we will have missed the chance to create lasting change. The time for reflection, understanding, and action is now.
