Is Iran “winding down” or “ramping up”? Should we
use our ground troops if that opens the Strait of Hormuz? Or should we walk
away having degraded Iran’s threats to America? If we choose to end our
Military action, will Iran continue with asymmetrical warfare against our
interests? What issues need significant Congressional debate before approving
the Military’s War request for $200B?
Can this war end before assuring that Iran can’t obtain
an Atom Bomb? Is that possible?
What did Tuesday’s Primaries teach us? What should be
made of D’s out-voting R’s 2 to 1?
Polls show Democrats viewed as out of touch with
voters. Why are they winning? Only 30% of voters view the Democratic
Party positively. Given such bad national Approvals, why have Democrats won
virtually all recent high-profile local elections? Does this suggest
that Trump/MAGA is losing support, giving anti-Trump candidates the edge with Independents,
who are now 45% of all voters?
Is it wrong not to discuss Trump’s shocking
comments? “Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no
longer hurt innocent people!” And
then there’s his “Pearl Harbor” comments with the Japan P.M. And he appears to
endorse eugenics. “The country has people in it who are bad because there’s
something wrong with their genetics.” Does it matter that a President’s comments
like these would make huge headline news a few years ago—but hardly mentioned
today?
The DHS Shutdown continues. Lines are growing. Is any
Party winning the political battle?
Will Republicans “go nuclear” and eliminate the
Filibuster to pass the SAVE Act as Trump is demanding? Voter I.D. is
logical and most voters approve of it. However,
requiring a valid U.S. passport or birth certificate to register creates an
unacceptable hurdle and is not approved by voters.
How qualified is Mullin to head Homeland Security?
How important is demonstrated leadership of large, complex organizations?
Experience in national security or emergency management? A deep understanding
of border security, immigration and cybersecurity? The office requires
exceptional judgment in making decisions that impact national safety. Mullin
would lead one of the largest federal departments, with over 200,000 employees
across 22+ agencies. Are Senators looking at any of this?
Would “taking over Cuba” be in our best interests? Do
most Americans care one way or the other? Trump: “I’ll do anything I want
with Cuba.” Lindsey: “The Liberation of
Cuba is upon us.”
Yes. It’s way too early. But Independents are at a
record 45%. Looking toward 2028, What Moderates in either Party might capture
interest from Independents? How much is Rubio an alternative to Vance?
Today, betters see Vance at 38%, Rubio at 25%. Is Trump’s endorsement a plus or
a minus today outside Deep Red areas? What Democrats might Independents find
interesting?
Efforts to strike or rename events honoring United
Farm Workers leader César Chávez are accelerating days after
allegations surfaced that he sexually abused girls and young women.
Trump’s focus is on securing the Western
Hemisphere. Is “Shield of the Americas” the
start of the “Don-roe Doctrine”? Is his foreign policy approach: “You take
yours. And we’ll take ours.”
"I'm going to sign an executive order to ensure
that the second Saturday in December is preserved exclusively. Nobody's playing
football – not Ohio State against Notre Dame, not LSU against Alabama –
nobody's going to play football for four hours during that very special time of
the year in December. It's preserved forever for the Army-Navy game."
Sunlight at night via mirrors: a big Night Light in
the Sky? A Start-Up Wants to Launch a Space Mirror. The company is seeking
F.C.C. approval to test an idea to reflect sunlight to Earth at night, possibly
powering solar panels. Is it worth the risk? What could go wrong?
Will Netanyahu be pardoned? Trump wants
President Herzog to pardon Netanyahu "today”. "Every day I talk
to Bibi about the war. I want him to focus on the war and not on the f*cking
court case. I want the only pressure on Bibi to be the fighting against Iran.”
How useful an idea is Trump’s Board of Peace? Can it
make an important difference?
Stats show Crime falling. But, do you feel
Crime is truly on the decrease? Violent crime dropped significantly in
2025. Big cities saw murders down 19-21%. Robberies and aggravated assaults
also down, with some metrics falling below pre-pandemic levels to 100-year
lows.
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?
Re: Trans Sports. Do you Agree, or Disagree? Sport
already accommodates biological variation. Hormone therapy can mitigates
advantage so there is no clear evidence of systemic unfairness, and excluding
Trans athletes from women’s sports is inconsistent, unnecessary, and ethically
unjustified.
How important is the TrumpRx pharmacy plan that gives
discounts on popular drugs?
Can Mayor Mamdani effectively help “the poor” by
super-taxing “the rich”? “Replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with
the warmth of collectivism.”
What good comes out of raising skepticism about
Vaccines? RFK jr.’s new “whole foods pyramid” focuses on Proteins and Fats.
(Have you tried Tallow?)
$3 meals? Agriculture Secretary Rollins
claims their revamped food pyramid leaves plenty of room for us to maintain a
healthy diet for as little as $3 a meal. Just eat “a piece of chicken, a piece
of broccoli”, “a corn tortilla” and “one other thing”.
NY Times: Are there any limits to your power? “My
own morality. My own mind. That’s the only thing that can stop me.”
