The percentage of Latinos in active duty rose again to 16% in 2017, according to a report done by the Congressional Service Review, and 17.2% in 2020, according to the U.S. Department of Defense. The veteran population is expected to become more racially and ethnically diverse in coming years. “Between 2021 and 2046, the share of veterans who are non-Hispanic White is expected to drop from 74% to 62%,” according to Pew Research. “The share of veterans who are Hispanic is expected to double from 8% to 16%.” Latinos have earned more than 40 Medals of Honor, according to the Department of Defense.

YOU KNOW IN YOUR HEART OF HEARTS HE SAID IT NO MATTER HOW MUCH HE SAYS "FAKE NEWS"! Welcome to the Ultimate Showdown: Conning Conundrum Syndrome vs. Trump Derangement Syndrome! In one corner, we have... Conning Conundrum Syndrome (CCS)! - Symptoms: Unshakable loyalty, denial reflex, and the blame game shuffle. Victims insist they haven't been conned by Trump and Putin, despite overwhelming evidence that could make a blindfolded jury shout "Guilty!" And in the other corner, we have... Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS)! - Symptoms: Uncontrollable eye-rolling at the mention of Trump, spontaneous fits of fact-checking, and an intense urge to debunk every tweet. Accused sufferers vehemently oppose Trump, sometimes with a fervor that rivals a sports fan during the playoffs. CCS - "Conning Conundrum Syndrome" is like having a GPS that stubbornly refuses to recalibrate. You're headed for a cliff, but it keeps saying, "Turn right in 100 feet." You’re convinced the destination is glorious, but spoiler alert: it’s a steep drop into reality. TDS - "Trump Derangement Syndrome" is like having a highly sensitive radar that detects every single Trump-related blip, no matter how small. You’re hyper-aware of every move, comment, and typo, often resulting in high blood pressure and a sudden urge to tweet. Denial vs. Obsession - CCS: "No way, Trump’s perfect!" - TDS: "No way, Trump’s terrible!" Blame Game vs. Blame Flame - CCS: "What about those emails?" - TDS: "What about that tax return?" Loyalty vs. Paranoia - CCS: "Trump could do no wrong." - TDS: "Trump can do no right." The Hilarious Hypocrisy: - CCS sufferers are like fans at a magic show, utterly convinced that the magician’s tricks are real, while TDS sufferers are the skeptics yelling, "I see the wires!" - CCS Remedy: "Come on, admitting you've been conned isn't that bad. Think of it like realizing the magician pulls rabbits out of hats, not thin air." - TDS Remedy: "Hey, take a breath. Sometimes it’s okay to let a tweet pass by without a full investigation. Not every blip is a bombshell." In the grand scheme of things, both CCS and TDS could use a little bit of perspective, a dash of humor, and a lot less stress. After all, life’s too short to be stuck in a syndrome, right? So, whether you’re staunchly defending or constantly critiquing, remember to laugh along the way. Because in the end, we’re all just trying to navigate this crazy world, one conundrum at a time.

Seems that the formulation of a "Community.. ." is in order.

This Memorial Day, as we honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice, let's also consider how we can support our veterans who continue to protect us in new ways, especially in the field of cybersecurity. Veterans bring a unique set of skills to cybersecurity—discipline, strategic thinking, and a deep understanding of risk management. Default action and decisiveness also make them invaluable in incidents response. They have defended our freedoms on the battlefield, and now many of them are on the front lines of our digital defenses. Here’s how we can honor their service: 1. Hire Veterans: Actively seek out veterans for cybersecurity roles. Their military experience provides a strong foundation for tackling cyber threats. The Honor Foundation is a great source. 2. Provide Training: Offer specialized training programs to help veterans transit ion into cybersecurity careers. This not only benefits them but also strengthens our security infrastructure. 3. Mentorship Programs: Establish mentorship initiatives that connect veterans with experienced cybersecurity professionals. This helps them navigate the corporate world and develop new skills. 4. Support Networks: Create support networks within organizations to address the unique challenges veterans may face in the civilian workforce. 5. Raise Awareness: Advocate for the importance of cybersecurity and the valuable role veterans play in protecting our digital assets. Just as they protected our nation, veterans now help safeguard our businesses and personal data. By integrating their skills into cybersecurity, we not only honor their past service but also enhance our security measures. This Memorial Day, let’s recognize the ongoing contributions of our veterans. They continue to serve and protect, ensuring our digital world remains secure. By supporting them, we honor their legacy and build a safer future for all. #MemorialDay #VeteransInCybersecurity #HonorAndProtect #DigitalDefense #Gratitude #cyber #infosec #cybersecurity #cyberinsurance #ir #incidentresponse #cyberwar

Peacemakers never reach old age. Yes, Albert died of an illness, supposedly, and even if that was indeed responsible for his demise, it is certain that his untiring diplomacy undermined his health. A very poorly understood period of history, not helped by so many of Victoria´s documents being destroyed on her death. So, only 163 years after his death, we begin to learn more about the polyfacetic and multi-talented Albert. The Victoria-Albert tandem was even more of a machine than the Elizabeth II - Philip one! We historians should give far, far, far greater emphasis to figures that averted calamities and wars. We have always been part of the problem by giving far too much attention to the troublemakers and starving the real peace-making heroes of attention! The same goes for all professions - too much attention on "fighting" disease at the cost of promoting excellent health! Too much journalism reporting nasty events and behavior and silence about excellence. Too much focus on poverty and not enough on how we can all improve and better our situation. "Energy flows where attention goes". (Side note for minute 07:20 - Lieutenant Fairfax. Just incredible how recurrent that surname is across the centuries, always at some critical moment and interestingly, often at a junior rank such as "Lieutenant". Fairfax - far more of a code than a surname. Today we are familiar with Commander James Bond "007" and in the past they were called "Fairfax"and a little more junior in rank).

Happy Cinco de Mayo! 🎉 Today, as we celebrate, let's also honor the rich history behind this day. Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican army's victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862—a testament to resilience and determination. Beyond the festivities, it's a reminder of courage in the face of adversity and the power of unity. So as we indulge in the cultural holiday Cinco De Mayo has evolved into, let's also pay homage to the spirit of triumph that defines this day. #CincoDeMayo #MexicanHistory #CincoDeMayoHistory #cincodemayofacts #cincodemayrealhistory #digitalmarketingconsultants #digitalmarketingstrategy #rosaceenterprises

Thought exercise: Europe has been ruled by a monarchy since the early 1700s and earlier. This family rule still influences our current events through world governments. Historicaly the Hapsburges Monarchy are related to current decencents. If one were to do just a little research this families influence can easily be found. The royal famlies married into the monarchies of most of Europe. I previously mentioned the three cousins related through Queen Victoria,so why bring this up for your consideration? The sons of King Charles III one of which married an American woman. These children born in America would be eligible to run for public office when they reach the qualificafing age. If one keeps this in mind it’s feasible one of the children of King Charles III namly Prince Harry’s children could run for President of the United States of America thus keeping the Monarchy in world affairs as in earlier historical Europe. Think about that , keeping in mind most schools in America no longer teach History.
