"Though the Present Drowns in Blood": Johnny Got His Gun (1971)
The world is teetering, presently, on the edge of a vast precipice. The war in Israel, the bombing of Gaza, the new developments wherein Hezbollah and even Iran may become involved in a wider Middle Eastern conflict that threatens to pull in the United States, Russia, and China--these things are the new, grim reality that has exploded across the world stage since the barbaric terrorist attacks perpetrated by Hamas against 1,200 Israelis October 7th. World outrage has been focused so far on the brutal Israeli response. Likewise, the media propaganda machine is in full swing on behalf of the Israeli bombing of civilian targets in Gaza, in what can only be described as war crimes or crimes against humanity by the turning off of water, and electricity, the blockade of food, and medical supplies. Babies in incubators, in the hospitals (one of which was mysteriously shelled), will die when the power goes out. People are being told to flee. No one will accept them as refugees. They have nowhere to run that is safe as their neighborhoods and houses are reduced to rubble.

Ride up slowly
Setbacks are indispensable in life, with setbacks, will make you strong. As the American thinker Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "Every setback or adverse mutation carries with it an equal or greater seed of advantage." It was a hot summer day, I saw others riding a bicycle, ten points clear, so, I also want to learn, put the home full of "body" is dust bike to push out. Of course, learning a bike is not that easy -- I was able to ride it slowly with my mother's help. But this bike is like a wild wild dog, even if my mother with a hand to help me in the back to help me control, it does not listen to me, the front east twist, west twist, not obedient at all. I thought: since I ride slowly, master the bicycle is not good, then ride faster, will not master it? Give it a try! I have my mother in the back to help me control! So, I speed up. However, a "child" even "walk" did not learn, how can learn to "run"? As the speed was too fast for my mother to control, I fell hard on the ground and hurt my leg. I was not happy, kicked the bike, said: "learn to ride a bike should be so troublesome, forget it, I certainly learn not good, or forget it!" However, I thought again: "King of invention" Edison had failed two thousand times before the invention of electric light, how big the frustration he suffered! Today, I met this small setback and recoiled, how can it? I must work harder! So, I got up, under the guidance of my mother to continue to learn cycling, did not expect, after a few days, this "wild dog" was I was obedient! I was so happy: Oh! I overcame the setback. Frustration is like a stone, he will make you on the road of life, constantly fall, but, as long as we stand up from the fall, never give up, believe, setbacks will be defeated by you!

Putin Body Double
For years, rumors and conspiracy theories have been circulating about Russian President Vladimir Putin using body doubles for public appearances or to avoid assassination attempts. The most recent resurgence of this idea came in March 2021, when a video of Putin shaking hands with officials during a meeting with Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko seemed to show two different Putins with slightly different facial features and hairlines. This sparked a flurry of speculation on social media and fringe websites, with some claiming that Putin had died or been replaced by a lookalike.
