2. Extra words for which nobody asked
2.1. Mom kills 2 children after shooting at husband, other woman at bar in murder-suicide: Police
May god of mercy on their souls.
This was in phoenix. What causes a person to do this?
Sure, women used to throw their children off of a cliff and dive on after them, but that was to escape slavery. I don't agree with it, but I get it.
This woman, 38 years old even, went to a bar to shoot her husband and some woman he was with.
She failed to kill them, ran home, texted her husband she was going to harm the children. She then murdered her children and then herself.
A 10 year old boy and 18 month old girl. How can someone do this to any child? Let alone their own.
Sure, once upon a time Muslims committed unspeakable horrors to children, but this is 2026, and in the United States, and it's her own kids…
I guess there's no understanding crazy.
2.2. ‘The next blow will be more painful’: Russian experts are signaling something bigger than retaliation
This was a very long article to say that Russia is still pissed about the dorm attack, and now Russia is going to destroy defense industry facilities in Kiev.
They say they believe that Kiev's air defense is depleted enough to send in attacks.
Yesterday I reported that the US is backing away from giving arms to both Taiwan and NATO.
I believe, from the start of the Trump presidency, America has wanted to buddy up to Russia.
However, this Ukraine thing makes that complicated.
So what do we do? We push for peace. Well, that didn't work. So now what? Well, we say "Yea, Ukraine should hold her land!" while saying not so often, "Ukraine's going to have to give up some land."
Are the Americans low on munitions? It's possible and explains why we are withdrawing weapon sales, but it could possibly be more about giving Russia an edge at winning this war.
In any case, if Russia does major damage to Kiev this time, they better explain really well to the Russian people why this couldn't happen sooner.
2.3. Homosexuality a mental disorder – Russian psychiatrist
So, the Russians have decided that Homosexuality as well as general trans stuff to be a mental disorder.
The part I find most interesting, is that the apparently the WHO only removed homosexuality from that classification in 1990 and transsexualisim in 2022.
This means that everyone was like, yea, these things are clearly disorders.
Objectively, they are.
But at some point, both of them were removed.
Here is the APA definition.
"Any condition characterized by cognitive and emotional disturbances, abnormal behaviors, impaired functioning, or any combination of these."
Seems pretty clear that, by definition from the American Psychological Association, that these are indeed mental disorders.
That doesn't mean we need people to feel bad about them, or to even try to force cure them, but it does mean that we shouldn't encourage them.
2.4. US refuses to condemn Russia’s plans to target Kiev
Huh. More than 50 nations apparently plan to condemn Russia for planning to escalate attacks. A statement brought forth by Kiev.
I don't fault Kiev for trying to defend itself in this way of silly talk, but more than 50 nations joined in on it?
It's kinda big that the US isn't backing Kiev in this. Does this mean that the US is willing to confirm that the school attack happened? Attacks that many countries outright deny?
