Victor Frankenstein (@VictorFrankenstein) on myLot

lovely @augusta123 (9917) 9 May

How do you feel about donating blood to someone? It can be to your family or randomly at the hospital or with the red cross? I have only donated blood once in my life but haven't had the need to do it again. But I wouldn't mind...

Victor Frankenstein I wish I could. I applied to be a blood donor, but I was turned down because I also have a mild heart condition. Too much risk, at least in the minds of whoever makes these decisions at the blood donation service. The sad irony is, I also suffer from a...

President Trump is boasting about America withdrawing 5000 of his men from Germany and you wonder why he is doing that. Germany is not at war with any one neither are the American soldiers fighting alongside Ukraine against...

Victor Frankenstein America may still be a member of NATO on paper, but it can no longer be realistically thought of as an ally. They openly want to replace democratically elected European governments with nationalistic ones that are more likely to do their bidding. Trump...

I just finished reading this book. I don't normally read war memoirs, but after I watched a film last year where the hero was a Kamikaze survivor, I saw this book reviewed on Amazon, so I decided to give it a go. This book was...

I know that politics is not a popular topic on MyLot. But I had to ask: Do you believe Donald Trump will be able to serve out his second term? Impeachment. 25th Amendment. Illness and death. All reallistic possibilities at this...

Victor Frankenstein I don't believe that impeachmet will happen. Too many bootlickers in Congress. Probably the same with invoking the 25th, unless Vance sees a solid opportunity to stab Trump in the back without then being backstabbed himself by one of the others in that...

Reading's what I do to relax when there's nothing else going on, so it's just as well that I have a houseful of books. And since I have several dozen Ace Doubles that I haven't read yet, I've always got something to read that...

Victor Frankenstein @RasmaSandra Cheers RasmaSandra. I've got to admit, I write these reviews mostly for practice, so I'm glad it wasn't completely boring. ;-)

Its kind of interesting to see how countries voted recently when the United Nations declared the slave trade against black people as the greatest crime against humanity. America voted against it, while European countries who are...

Victor Frankenstein I haven't heard of this vote, but when you look at history there have been so many crimes against humanity. The Holocaust, the artificial famine in the Ukraine, all the wars... It's honestly hard to say which is the wors crime in humanity ever. Let's just...

Victor Frankenstein Yes, they're very often just as good as the name brands. Baked beans are a classic example. The last time I bothered to check, Tesco beans were about a third of the price of Heinz beans, and there's little or no difference.

Victor Frankenstein Thanks for the tips. I'll look into Greenjinn and Shopmium. I think I looked at Shopmium a few years ago, and rejected it, but I can't remember why, so I'll have another look at it. I've got the Asda app, and I recently downloaded the Iceland app, but...

Victor Frankenstein I think China already is the dominant country in the world now. It's got an evil, despotic government, but it's run by intelligent people who understand soft power and playing the long game. They've been increasing their influence overseas through trade for...

Victor Frankenstein The county that has the most to worry about Trump's actions is America itself. Trum - or more precisely the squalid gang of fascists that he fronts for - have turned ICE into a paramilitary force that's openly committing acts of violence, including murder, in...
