How might the “No Kings” protests change anything? Was
it a Plus or Minus for anyone?
Who does America see as primarily to blame for the 3-hour
waits at airports?
How do you believe Iran fighting will come to an end? Is
there any way this ends “quickly”?
What about millions of zealots who hate us and Israel
enough to never give up? What about political partisans who want to force an
end to fighting before achieving military objectives?
Was it best to have acted now? Are we safer today?
Did we think this through strategically? Will we be OK if we “walk”
and accept the consequences of Iran remaining in control of the Strait of
Hormuz, while possessing weapons and programs that would threaten the region in
the future?
How divided is MAGA about the War? What about the
generational divide? The CPAC crowd cheered over the possibility of Trump
impeachment hearings. What’s going on?
Would taking over Cuba be in America’s best interests?
Do most Americans care about this? Trump:
“Taking Cuba, in some form? Yeah. Taking Cuba. I mean, whether I free it,
take it, think I can do anything I want with it.” Peggy Noonan: “This
crisis deserves more than that. Trump’s White House is a kitchen where there
are always four pots at full boil on the stove, and the windows are misty from
steam, and the cooks run around not knowing which pot to turn down or remove
from the burner, and the mad chef says no, keep all flames high. You’d like to
see things cool down, the mist cleared from the windows so they can see what’s
close by.”
What’s the risk a nut-case takes this to heart and
“kills for God”? Hegseth’s closest spiritual adviser repeatedly
attacked Talarico on a podcast hosted by a former pastoral intern at their
church. After referring to the Texas Democrat as “a wolf,” a “demon,” a “snake”
and an “enemy,” the two talked about what they hope becomes of Talarico. “I
pray that God kills him,” one said. “Ultimately, that means killing his
heart and raising him up to new life in Christ.” The other concurred. “Right,
right. We want him crucified with Christ.” He repeated that he wants “death
and new life” for Talarico. “And if it would not be within God’s will to do
so, stop him by any means necessary,” he said. (ANY means?)
What does it mean if the U.S. government is insolvent? That’s
the conclusion drawn by the Treasury Department’s own consolidated
financial statements for fiscal year 2025, released to near-total media
silence. $6.06 trillion in total assets against $47.78 trillion in
total liabilities as of 9/302025.
How much is the President attempting to turn America’s
250th Anniversary into a celebration of him? The Treasury is
placing Trump’s signature on paper currency “to mark our 250th anniversary”.
Does self-promotion like gold coins, photos, statues, monuments, help or
hurt Trump politically?
Michael Flynn pled guilty to lying to the FBI. Trump
pardoned him. The Justice Department moved to dismiss the case. Our government
just gave Flynn $1M for “wrongful conviction”. Can every J6 felon pardoned by
Trump look into suing America for “wrongful conviction”?
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.
Cringe-worthy? Fox host Perino: “I think it is
alarming that we have not been able to see or hear from any of the Iranian
people. Do they have drinking water, food?” Trump: “Do you remember when
we had lunch years ago at Trump Tower? You have not changed. You may be even
better looking.”
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.”
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?
What do you think? "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."
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.”
