Congress should pass a law to help choose and maintain a stable president in the future. This would require presidents to undergo neurocognitive exams to determine if they are mentally impaired or unstable. To take that step, both parties must move beyond the immediate framework of Trump versus Biden or Republican versus Democrat. As long as Democrats draft any legislation assessing a president's mental fitness to perform their duties and apply it to Trump, it is dead in the water. The same applies to Republicans seeking to prove that Biden was mentally incompetent to overturn his legislation.

Careers in data science, cybersecurity, information security, AI/machine learning, and digital marketing are forming the new workplace infrastructure.

Privacy is something we are all going to have to think about. The work begun by Elon Musk and his DOGE team is rapidly moving forward to link government databases.

Is a Manchurian Candidate Guiding our Defense?

Nick J. Licata
June 08, 2025

A Manchurian Candidate, as initially defined in Richard Condon's 1959 novel and the 1966 movie, is a nation’s leader controlled by that country’s enemy. These works of fiction played on the fear of a Communist takeover of America by Russia or China, a conspiracy worthy of being promoted by QAnon.
