What’s the best approach to have an improved Health
Care Plan? How would we get there?
Redistricting Battles: does any Party have the
advantage? The Supreme Court OK’d Texas redistricting that may add 5
additional Republican House seats. Indiana said No to redistricting. Also, how
much do recent elections suggest there could be tight races even in “safe” Republican
Districts?
Should America consider this ban for our kids?
Australian Children and teens have been forced off social media en masse. Shutting
down than 1 million social media accounts held by users under 16 has inflamed a
culture war and is being closely watched in the United States and elsewhere.
How important is attacking Venezuela? We seized
their oil tanker. What are the ramifications if we send in ground troops
without Congressional approval? Does America understand the objective?
How big an issue is Somalia stealing federal funds in
Minnesota? Federal authorities have
uncovered massive, multi-million dollar fraud schemes in Minnesota involving
individuals, mostly of Somali descent, who allegedly stole funds from
state-administered public assistance programs.
Is Trump looking like a “Lame Duck”? MT Greene is
resigning from Congress and speaking out against the President. Has jockeying started
for new standard-bearer? Given Trump’s sinking Approvals, will Traditional
Republicans begin to resonate more with Conservatives than MAGA?
Might China defeat the U.S. military in a war over
Taiwan? According to a top-secret US government assessment, our reliance on
costly, sophisticated weapons leaves it exposed to China’s ability to
mass-produce cheaper systems in overwhelming numbers. A national security
official under Joe Biden who reviewed the document is said to have turned pale
on realizing Beijing had “redundancy after redundancy” for “every trick we had
up our sleeve”.
Is it in America’s best interest to let Putin win his
war with Ukraine and cut the cord with Europe? Trump is reviving the 19th
century Monroe Doctrine, which declared the Western Hemisphere to be
Washington's zone of influence. Could that work and still be part of NATO?
Time magazine named "The Architects of A.I."
as its 2025 Person of the Year. Your thoughts.
The Pope calls for a two-state solution. What is
motivating him? How influential is the Pope?
Could that
J6 pipe bomber receive a Pardon? Brian Cole Jr., arrested for planting two viable pipe
bombs on the eve of J6, is a Trump and
conspiracy supporter. He believes the election was stolen. Some critics wonder whether
Trump’s “blanket pardon” to all J6 “patriots” will eventually set Cole free.
How “illegal” are Biden’s autopen approvals? Trump
is “cancelling” exec orders signed by Biden’s autopen. Many presidents,
including Trump, use an autopen to sign some documents. Republicans say it was
used by folks around Biden to circumvent “a mentally declining president”.
How
confident are you with who is in charge of America’s Health? RFK jr. believes Tylenol causes
Autism…and so does circumcision. And now,
the committee that advises on national vaccine policy overturned a decades-long
recommendation that newborns be immunized for hepatitis B, a policy credited
with nearly eliminating the highly contagious and dangerous virus in
infants. Earlier, the CDC made a dramatic “flip” on the value of vax. They
say a link between vax & autism cannot be ruled out, reversing
the CDC's longstanding stance that high-quality research has proved there is no
link. RFK Jr. has long promoted discredited claims of vax doing more harm
than good.
How do
you feel about this Entertainment Bombshell? Netflix struck an $83 billion deal for Warner Bros.
and its sibling streaming service, HBO Max. Jane Fonda: “an alarming escalation
in a consolidation crisis that threatens the entire entertainment industry, the
public it serves and—potentially—the First Amendment itself.”
Rage Bait is Oxford’s “word of the year”. It’s
defined as “online content deliberately designed to elicit anger or
outrage by being frustrating, provocative, or offensive, typically posted in
order to increase traffic to or engagement with a particular web page or social
media content.
How should NATO respond to hundreds of drone
provocations over many nations, apparently instigated by Russia? Does Europe
have the manpower and resources to push back against Putin? Do they have the
will to do so without America taking the lead?
Will
Epstein’s many victims ever see justice? Might we see names of significant wrong-doers? How
likely is it that some victims will take the risk to name names if Justice
doesn’t release them?
The Comey indictment was overturned. What does that
tell us?
“Things happen.” What does
America gain by disregarding human rights sins of Saudi’s Crown Prince? Is
“swinging a business deal” more important than standing up for values?
How
does a 50-Year Mortgage help with Affordability?
Racist
move? Or just treating Immigration more fairly? Biden limited refugees to 125,000.
Trump cut limits to 7,500—with 7,000 being Afrikaners, a group not
traditionally eligible for the program. The Administration says they have been
“tyrannized by South Africa’s Black majority”. The other 500 will be
chosen by their ability to speak English and views on “free speech,” upending a
system that for decades took in people fleeing conflict and persecution
anywhere regardless of race or language. Guardrails
against racist, xenophobic or dehumanizing rhetoric have all but vanished on
the American right. What was once disqualifying—or the exclusive domain of
online trolls—is now a fixture of national political discourse.
Are
national parks and museums wrong to cover how bad Slavery was? Does History
need to be more positive? What’s more harmful: not covering full details, or
covering it all?
For
years, Trump has asked for $230M for being “wronged” by the Justice Department.
How valid is his charge? Is it meant to be more of a distraction? Is it working?
Netanyahu
is asking Israel for a pardon? Would it be in Israel’s best interest to grant
it?
Does
Cashless Bail put more peace-loving Folks at risk while setting Law Breakers free?
