Had coffee today with a WWII veteran. I have already interviewed him for my upcoming book, Signs of Hope for the Military: In and Out of the Trenches of Life.

It was great to just be able to talk to him. He is 98 years young and looking great.

My interview with him was full of near death experiences, and stories about freeing Jews from concentration camps. It is a must read.

House GOP demands visitor logs in Biden classified docs case

House Republicans on Sunday demanded the White House turn over all information related to its searches that have uncovered classified documents at President Joe Biden’s home and former office in the wake of more records found at his Delaware residence.

_______________________________________________________________

Interesting that the White House thinks it is not as serious to find classified documents in Biden’s residences. They still think Trump’s documents are much worse. A clear cover up in my opinion.

Russia is going all out in its attack on Ukraine. Rumors are that they are running out of weapons; their military is freezing to die, and thousands are dead. Not a nice picture for Russia.

_______________________________________________________________

Japan and the United States have become close allies. They are training together and planning for the future. Quite a switch since WWII.
