If you are looking for a good read, let me recommend The Judge's List by John Grisham. I read it, and listened to it, when it first came out, a few years ago. I am listening to it again. It is intense and will increase your paranoia, if you have any.

Thanks, I saw The Package years ago, maybe I'll watch again. Here are two I'd recommend although neither will win any awards.
Heist is a David Mamet film. I'm a Mamet fan. The other is Under Suspicion.

Some people use broadswords, others use sabres, I'm more of an Épée type of guy.

We need more Gene Hackmans and fewer Shakespeares.

Late in 2023 I had a heart attack. In early 2024 I was diagnosed with heart failure and arrhythmia. Dr. Adriano Magpali saved my life. I am celebrating living a year and want to publicly thank him. Lots of people don't live a year. I am not afraid of death, just dying. I am at peace. Resist.

Good for you, certainly there are exceptions. The Christian church is now embracing oppressors, not the oppressed. Speaker Johnson, an outspoken Christian, says the Roman Empire collapsed because there were gays in Rome, not because they crucified Jesus.

If you are using The Little Red Book aka Red Note, here's a few suggestions if you don't want to get banned:
If you are a member of the LGBT community, keep that private.
Don't mention Tiananmen Square.
Don't Mention Taiwan/Tibet.
Don't mention Fulan Gong.
Don't post either pic.

Django Reinhardt and The Duke.

Red Note users, be cautious with your comments about the US and China. If you say anything negative about the US or positive about China, your comments could be used for propaganda. BTW, the literal translation of the app is The Little Red Book.

Germany had one of the best education systems in the world until they started teaching nazi science. During the Chinese Cultural revolution universities were mostly closed. Professors were assaulted and publicly humiliated.

There are some now saying Leon's nazi salute was the Roman salute. Most depictions I've seen of Roman salutes are almost horizontal, sorta like they are saluting a person.

I don't look for psychology books anymore so I take your word. I read this book in the 70's. I recognized some things Trump does that come from this book.

Could be, I never saw a cow in China. Never saw an elephant, never saw a horse. I got close to a few carabaos that were grazing on grass.

The temperature for JFK's inauguration was 22°F. I guess they don't make Presidents like they used to.
