America is not only insane, but *terminally* insane, if we let this problem continue to fester.

Some vox pops of Russians trying to define “what is a Nazi.” The lack of self-awareness is *stunning.* It’s like listening to Antifa in a different language.

It’s my understanding that my next bookazine should be printed within a week or so. So I think I can post a few teaser images (screenshotted from the penultimate digital proof) to get the idea across (if you don’t see images below, it’s probably because either your adblocker is overly enthusiastic or the APR website is blocked for some reason):
If you would like to order a copy, there are three main routes:
1) For those in Europe, by far the best approach will likely be by ordering directly through Mortons, link HERE, or on bookstore shelves.
2) For those in the US, the less expensive approach will *probably* be through Amazon (link HERE, though still preliminary), though probably taking longer than directly from Mortons, and the possibility of finding them on bookstore shelves.
3) For those who want the Extra Special Edition and say “damn the schedule and never mind the cost,” I will *probably* have a few signed copies available. As with my prior two books, these will have an additional pair of 18X24-inch prints of diagrams from the book. These will *probably* run about $25, including shipping to the US (if you want them shipped out of the US, the shipping prices gets ludicrous… don’t blame me). They’ll be signed and dated and numbered in order of receipts. If you would be interested in this version, send me an email so I can make sure I have enough on hand for that. My email:

Seems there’s a run of just darn bad luck for those fellers, especially the rich, powerful and politically connected. It’s like gravity keeps reaching up and grabbin’ ’em.
A Kremlin ally died falling down the stairs, report says — the latest in a series of unexplained deaths among prominent Russians
The Moscow Aviation Institute (MAI) university announced the death of Anatoly Gerashchenko, 72, saying he died “as a result of an accident.”
An unnamed source told Russian newspaper Izvestia that he died on the university’s grounds, by falling “from a great height” down several flights of stairs.
Huh.

Northrop Grumman to Unveil the B-21 Raider
Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC), in partnership with the U.S. Air Force, will unveil the B-21 Raider during the first week of December at the company’s Palmdale, California facility. … Six B-21 test aircraft are in various stages of final assembly in Palmdale, California. Northrop Grumman and the U.S. Air Force confirmed in May that the B-21 first flight is projected for 2023.
I expect this to be the last US strategic bomber to be unveiled in my lifetime. The last one, the B-2, was unveiled in 1988, some 34 years ago. The bomber before that, the B-1A, was shown in 1974, or 14 years before the B-2. The bomber before *that* was the B-70 in 1964, or ten years before the B-1. The B-58 was rolled out in 1965; the B-52 in 1951. The trend line indicates that years between bombers became decades between bombers have become generations; whatever follows the B-21 probably won’t arrive until… what? 2070?

Neptune in a new light! 🔵
Hubble’s view of this planet looks pretty different from @NASAWebb's new image, on the right.
That’s because these two telescopes looked at the planet in different wavelengths of light. ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/omelj0ZkDX

Yikes.
At what point does this transition from “Presidency” to “elder abuse?”

Flights out of Russia sell out after Putin orders partial call-up
I don’t blame military-age Russians wanting to get the hell out of Dodge before they get snatched up and sent into the meatgrinder. Of course, the better solution long-term would be for all these fleeing Russians to be turned around and aimed at the Kremlin.

Suspect Admits to Fatally Plowing Car into Republican Teen in ‘Politically Motivated’ Attack
A suspect accused of fatally plowing a car into a Republican teen in North Dakota over the weekend confessed on Monday to the attack, which he confirmed was “politically motivated.”
Shannon Brandt, a 41-year-old male, allegedly ran over 18-year-old Cayler Ellingson with his car after the pair had an altercation of a political nature at a street festival. … The driver reported the crime himself, informing police that the victim was affiliated with a “Republican extremist group” and intended to target him after the two had a political disagreement.
Huh. I wonder what might have happened in recent weeks that could have radicalized Mr. Brandt and, through the power of “Stochastic Terrorism,” turned him into a murderer?

Putin announces a draft of 300,000 or so Russians with prior military service:
So this is what a tyrant looks like when he’s losing. He’s apparently trying to scare the Russian people by telling them that *they* are being threatened with nukes. That ranks up there with “the wage gap,” “hands up don’t shoot” and “Russia collusion” in the grand scheme of blatant political lies.
