Isn’t one lunatic with nuclear weapons enough?
Three things you might not know:
- In 5-10 years America, your children and your grandchildren could be in the nuclear cross-hairs of North Korea.
- Egypt and other countries could be customers for Kim Jong Un’s nuclear warheads.
- Three times Trump asked foreign policy advisors why he couldn’t use nuclear weapons to solve the nation’s problems.

America, ask yourself: What do narcissistic bullies do?
Even a fifth grader knows what happens when bullies face-off: “They fight” – at the drop of a hat or the slight of a tweet. All the missile defense systems and technological wizardry in the world, whether in Israel, Japan or the US, cannot overcome the idiocy of two losers who in their own mind think they are winners. The only art of a deal between these two will be nuclear.
An article in today’s Washington Post, These North Korean missile launches are adding up to something very troubling, provides a quick update on the capability of lunatic #1’s nuclear program. And any of dozens of articles, including the Commander In Chief Forum on NBC, Wednesday September 7th, will tell you about the lack of lunatic #2’s readiness to handle a nuclear crisis. Zero!
A second article answers the question, Everything you need to know about the North Korean nuclear test. If you are considering voting in the US November election it might be a good idea to refresh your thinking on the nuclear threat – not Kim Jong Un, the risk of the other lunatic, Donald Trump getting into a position of power to confront lunatic #1.
“If this continues unchecked, they could develop an inter-continental ballistic missile that could pose a threat to the United States in the next decade.” – Kelsey Davenport, director for nonproliferation policy at the Arms Control Association. “
Oh great! The US might have a ten-year window before a possible nuclear Armageddon (other sources predict five years). If Trump is elected, which plays right into the hands of dictators like Kim and Putin, he could be tempted to get aggressive – and dangerous – with pre-emptive action against North Korea. And what would the fallout from US Presidential action – or just irresponsible bluster – be for allies like Japan, South Korea and China who are already in Kim’s cross hairs? Asians make up 55% of the world’s population and many families and relatives now live in the US (approximately 18 million, 6%). So if Asians in America care about the long-term well bring of their homeland they should never vote for Trump.
“They’re testing at a really fast rate because the program is real. The idea that this is a Potemkin missile program is just nonsense … Countries looking to buy North Korean missiles are probably looking at this and thinking, ‘Ooooh, that’s nice.’ … If you were in Egypt, staring at Israel, you might really like a warhead like this.” – Jeffrey Lewis, director of the East Asia Nonproliferation Program in Monterey.
“People are the worst”
Coming 2026
My personal history is the stuff they write books about. And that's what I am doing. The working title, "Chains of My Father: Marry White."
"The ghostly image of the tragic mulatto trapped between two worlds." - Barack Obama
This perspicacious line from the Prologue of Barack Obama's "Dream from My Father" wrenched my aspiration into action. I started writing, furiously. Unlike Obama's perspective, my pain had been for the opposite reason: I was not seen by whites as a "tragic mulatto," rather I lived every day of my childhood hoping whites were not "searching my eyes for some telltale sign" that I WAS mulatto. This is my story.
It's historical fiction because I cannot find enough records to substantiate all facets of the story. I've combed the genealogy, traveled to my father and grandmothers' birthplace, walked the graveyards, searched the churches and ... well, all the facts aren't there. I have written three books based on the genealogy of other families but my ancestors emerged from a journey that left too few records – slavery.
My paternal, great grandmother was a "freed slave." My grandmother, Amelia, was born to a mixed race slave named Mary (we do not know her last name) and a white, French plantation owner, the Count de Poullain, in Grenada, West Indies. Amelia was raised in the "Big House" and in adulthood, in an attempt to escape her black heritage disowned her mother, telling her, "Get out and never come back." Amelia, as a mother of twelve children, enshrined into the family commandments, "Marry white." Many did, including my father. My mother was a lovely, white, Anglo-Saxon protestant born in England. They met in Canada where my dad studied and became a doctor.
It has taken five generations for the descendants of Mary to free themselves from the stigma of their black heritage but today my children embrace it. Unfortunately, the past 250 years have been a wasteland of bigotry, racism and bullying. But, on closer look, we see not only the brutality, fear, violence, and murder but also the self-respect, dignity, love, kindness, perseverance and indomitable spirit.
As of the spring of 2025, the depth of historic perspective and the sweeping inspiration of oppressed people has created a two-volume duology of which I have only arrived at the middle of the 19th century. 1840 is the year my great grandfather was born, the beginning of Volume II, and he's pushing me to make sure our story is published by the summer of 2026.
