The future of mankind is going to be very, very, dystopian.

I will use drones as just one example. Can you imagine drone technology 100 years from now. No one will be safe. People will be able to build deadly miniature drones in their basements. Imagine a drone the size of a grasshopper that can be used to kill a person, a world leader.

Right now in Ukraine, Ukrainian soldiers have Drone Units. They fly small drones at night killing Russian soldiers in their sleep. The Russian soldiers have no defense against these drones. You can't hide from them because they have thermal imaging. You can't see them coming. You can't hear them.

Enjoy the time we are living in. If you think things are crazy now, the future is going to be flat out dystopian.

I wonder how many Russian soldiers have deserted or surrendered.

Their living conditions have been a nightmare for many weeks. A lot of them have watched their buddies get killed. In many cases they are sitting ducks parked in their vehicles. Their leaders are shit and many of them have been killed. It has been reported that many of the Russian soldiers were never told where they were going.

The moral of the average Russian soldier must be non-existent.

My Melanoma nightmare explained.

I was supposed to have surgery a week ago. Nothing has happened. I have the doctors in place and I have the insurance that covers it.

Yesterday I received a letter from Evicore. They are the company that handles the certification of all types of scans for Cigna.

They denied the scan I need because my doctor requested a PET/CT fusion scan. Some doctor I have never met at Evicore said I should get a different type of scan which they would approve. A computed topography CT scan. I guess my doctor does not agree because I am not getting any scan at the moment. These assholes are debating, fighting over a scan while my Melanoma spreads.

If you believe you have good private health insurance you are kidding yourself. I have good insurance and it is failing. This is the first time it has failed, at the worst possible time.

Tomorrow I go see a second doctor and the shit is going to hit the fan. I am beyond pissed off. I see this as a threat to my life and I am going to react that way. The doctor I see tomorrow better have answers or I will fire all of them and start from scratch. I will also look into taking legal action.

The Trump voters who believe Trump is honest.

This is proof Trump voters have completely shut down the frontal lobe of their brain. The part of the brain that is used for reasoning, decision making. Trump voters are pretty much functioning with their Brain stem and the emotional part of their brain only.

Tens of thousands of Russian families have no idea what's coming their way, yet.

During the Iraq war we had 4,431 soldiers killed in action. We had 31,994 wounded.

In a few weeks the Russian casualties have topped those numbers. I do not know how the Russian government handles their dead and wounded. However, they will not be able to hide the fact their soldiers have been killed from their families. The number of wounded Russian soldiers is staggering. At some point tens of thousands of Russian soldiers will return to their families missing arms, legs, many will be brain damaged, permanently disabled.

The horror of this war has not yet hit the Russian people. Soon, tens of thousands of Russians families will have their lives devastated.

Putin will not be able to hide what has happened for long. As time passes more and more Russians will turn against the war. I have said from the beginning, only the people of Russia can end this war.

Putin is a paranoid coward.

He is so brave when he attacks women and babies from long range. He is afraid of the Ukrainian army because they fight back. When you fight back against Putin, he doesn't know what to do. He just lashes out against the innocent who can't defend themselves. What an asshole.

This is the definition of a coward.

I like the people of Ukraine better than I like the Trump voters.

The people of Ukraine recognize reality, Trump voters do not. It's that fucking simple. Trump could bomb the Trump voters and they would blame the Democrats. History is going to be very cruel to the Trump voters.

My insurance company denied the pet scan needed for my melanoma surgery.

Our healthcare system is fucking insane. There is some good news, I hope. I believe I have figured out what the insurance company is up to. They have decided I need a head CT head scan for now. My surgeon says I need a full body pet scan. They are arguing with my life. What's crazy is, I have had many preventive scans and they were all immediately approved. Now I need a scan for life saving surgery and they deny it.

On Monday I see another surgeon who will also be involved with my surgery. She will team up with my other surgeon and also request a pet scan. Hopefully that will be enough to get them to approve it. If not I will tell my doctors I will pay for the pet scan and then fight later for a refund from the insurance company. I can't let them block my surgery.

If you do the math, Russian ground forces must be taking horrific losses.

Russian forces have now been on the ground for 21 days, in many cases bogged down, sitting ducks, a turkey shoot. Their losses may be worse than what is being reported.

The Ukraine military is still intake, it has grown in size with thousands of volunteers. Tons of weapons have flooded into Ukraine, including tens of thousands of shoulder fired missiles. For 3 weeks the Ukraine military has been attacking in small groups, attacking Russian supply lines that stretch for hundreds of miles, attacking Russian patrols.

We have seen the videos of some of these attacks. We have not seen videos of hundreds of other attacks. The Ukraine military still has some jets and drones that have been bombing Russian troops. The losses from just all the shoulder fired missiles must be staggering.

Russian forces have been there for three weeks and they still haven't surrounded major cities. They have been bombing cities from far range. The reason for this must be because their ground forces are getting their ass kicked and I am glad. Putin knows his ground invasion has failed and he must be looking for a way out. Time will tell.
