The planet moved significantly closer to a catastrophic event this week as Donald Trump assumed the U.S. presidency, according to a new report.

Hey, it’s a new report!!!
Yep. Back when I read everything political, I rated Time as the most liberal, Newsweek, still liberal but occasionally readable, US News as moderately liberal but very readable.
Like The New Republic. Leans left, but had good writers who could make an argument. The Nation? Off the charts leftist howling.
That bomb assured destruction of our enemies and thus made world wide conflict less likely. When Russia had said same it increased the risk. However, both of us then had the ability to destroy all. We were both rational and thus the chance of confrontation became less. Without nuclear weapons there would have been a war in Europe between Russia and NATO.
When JFK ws elected, those imminent sighentists moved it up to 7 minutes, where it remained during the Cuban and Berlin crises
I just moved my doomsday clock waaaaay back . Not gonna happen. Did start carrying 3 spare mags for my pistola. PLO is pissed about this.....if true.

I believe I predicted this just a couple of days ago. The left doesn’t realize we know them better then they know themselves. They have no clue who we are.
