What
significant news came out of Tuesday’s Special Elections?
Should
Trump have power to declare who are our Enemies? Or must Rule of Law determine
this? High
Court is looking at Trump’s request to use the Alien Enemies Act to deport who
he wants.
What
are the benefits and risks of Tariff “Liberation Day”?
Gov.
Newsom: “The Democratic brand is toxic today.” How effective are protests against Tesla? How
wise for Liberals to support this, even peaceful protests?
"This
is a moment not of Right or Left but of Right or Wrong. The Power of the People
should be stronger than the People in Power." Senator Cory Booker in
his 25+ hour filibuster.
How
serious was the “Signal” security breach? What was learned? Is it over?
How
can Chicago be safer from teenage chaos? Curfew? Activities? Penalties?
Is
shutting down dissent and “retribution” an expected election outcome? What about “bending
the knee”? Trump suspended security clearances and access to Federal
Buildings for a top-level law firm because an attorney (now TV pundit) Trump hates
once worked for them. But some firms agree to donate to a Trump cause to have
bans rescinded.
Do
we need to grow America for “International security”? Trump: “We need
Greenland, one way or the other.” How much does maintaining good relationships
with allies matter?
Are
we laundering America’s History? Trump’s Executive Order will reshape the
Smithsonian Institution, the country’s largest network of museums and cultural
sites. He wants removal of “divisive, race-centered ideology” and defund
exhibitions that “degrade shared American values.
Should
we Prove Citizenship to vote? Trump executive order requires proof of
citizenship for voter registration and limiting mail-in ballot acceptance to
those received by Election Day.
What’s
benefit is this for the People? After firing all Inspectors General, Trump replaced
two with loyalists who have ethical charges against them. “Like hiring Al
Capone to run the IRS.”
A
Trump 3rd Term? Did he kill
Vance’s 2028 chances if he is just a placeholder?
What
should we make of Trump’s pivot on Putin? Trump said he was “very angry” and
“pissed off” when Putin criticized the credibility of Zelenskyy’s
leadership. Trump said he could punish nations who buy oil from Russia by not
allowing them to sell to the U.S. Is
Putin winning by delaying?
What
might be the benefits and downsides of HHS cutting 20,000 jobs? Layoffs begin
at health agencies charged with tracking disease, researching, regulating food.
Iran
has rejected Trump’s request for direct negotiations. What is Trump doing to
address this bigger issue that’s behind our bombing Yemen?
Are
Republicans likely to push through huge tax cuts even if it increases our debt?
What
about canceling the Comedian scheduled for the White House Correspondence
Dinner?
Voice
of America was silenced by Trump’s Executive Order. Is this a big loss for
America?
How
vulnerable is our personal security due to high tech advances? Not only “Signal”. Not
just A.I. How much are we being persuaded by fake stories, texts, images,
videos, sound bites?
In
today’s high-tech world, are Newspapers and even Mainstream TV Media becoming
irrelevant? Conservatives now dominate
the internet, especially with younger people.
The
war has started up again in Gaza. But now with protests against Hamas. Your
thoughts.
How
concerned are Republicans with Trump’s Approvals? Trump pulled the
nomination of Rep. Stefanik to be UN ambassador because Republicans
can’t afford to lose her vote in Congress. How much might town-hall anger
and public concern with Trump/Musk policies change GOP plans?
Is
slashing the number of Social Security offices in half a good approach toward
reducing costs?
Yes,
it’s too early. But how do you feel about this group duking it out for the 2028
Democrat Presidential Nomination? Newsom. Emanuel. Buttigieg. Shapiro.
Pritzker. Waltz. What
about Andrew Cuomo for NY Mayor? Rahm Emanuel for Chicago Mayor? Kamala for CA
Gov?

it benefit?

name?
Your
thoughts.
