How about a shout-out to the White Sox!
Jobs are down. Inflation is up. Income is not. How
does economic news affect the Election? What is the political impact of statements
voters KNOW are not true? Like: “Best economy we’ve ever had. Prices are way
down from what Biden and Dumocrats left us, and are coming down RAPIDLY.” On the other hand, are we looking at
something similar to Bush #1 losing to Clinton for such a poor economy? Then watching
the Economy turn around AFTER the Election with Clinton taking credit?
What important issues should we discuss about the Cornell
University rape case, which is fueling a fierce debate over sex, consent and
criminality in today’s college hookup culture? If she voluntarily got drunk or
high, should she be considered legally unable to consent?
What important issues come to your mind regarding that
“9/11”hijacking attempt?
Do you believe the polls? Is there a Blue Wave? Red Undertow?

Congress is likely to become more Liberal. What actions
might a new Congress (or Trump) take after the election to put Iran mostly behind
us…or at least reduce the price of Oil?
Are we pushing Cuba to be an even more failed
state? Is taking over a failed state in the best interests of
working-class Americans? Might changing Cuba’s regime create another
Iran-like headache? The Administration is considering “Military Options”. Why
is this a priority?
In order to avoid a Social Security shortfall, will
Republicans support raising taxes?
Is it “TDS” to raise issues about Trump’s focus on
“building projects”? He says his planned 250-foot triumphal arch would be
built to host “large numbers of drones,” snipers and ammunition. Is it acceptable
to demolish The Kennedy Center if the President can’t get credit for renovating
it?
Are Republicans losing the Hispanic vote they recently
won? Do you believe polls that shows Hispanics, who moved toward Trump in
2024, are moving away from him? Rep. Salazar is in a safe Florida
District where Trump won by 14%. Her ad criticizes Trump on Immigration and
cost of living.
Gov. Newsom says he won’t run for President if Kamala
does—“It would be mutual self-destruction”. Do you believe him? What
kind of message might Newsom be sending Kamala?

they were deployed.
Faulty Economics? Trump has repeatedly claimed
that ending trade relations with countries that export more to us than they
import would somehow generate vast amounts of cash for the U.S. government. “If
we stopped Trading with every country that we have a Deficit with, which is
most of them, we would make, at least, $1.5T a year.” How wise is this?
Are there good reasons to have greater concern about

else compares?
Should Daylight Saving Time be permanent? Should we have ONE time all year?
What kind of force is Tucker Carlson in the Republican
Party?
Governor Pritzker signed the bill mandating No Phones
in Illinois Schools. Good idea?
Where are we today with the Epstein files? Does this
issue still resonate with voters? What might change if Democrats win the House?
Your thoughts about “Trump Accounts”? It
provides a one-time $1,000 federal investment for eligible U.S. citizen
children born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028. The money is
invested in a broad U.S. stock index fund, and families may contribute
additional money (up to the annual limit). The account generally can't be
accessed until the child reaches adulthood.
Good idea? Older Adults are turning to ‘Golden
Girls’ Housing. A growing network of home-sharing programs is helping Super
Seniors find compatible housemates to save money.
Is eliminating all standards for greenhouse gas
emissions in our best interests? How smart is it to totally disregard the
concerns of scientists vs. moderating how standards apply? On the other hand,
are we spending millions without seeing plans work to bring emissions down?
The color of money is now gray. What are the
ramifications of Seniors holding more wealth? In 1989, Americans over age
55 held 56% of the wealth. Today it’s 74%. Wealth for under 40 has shrunk from
12 to 6.6%. 18% of Americans are Senior citizens, up from 13% in 1990.
