Would bombing Iran’s infrastructure (like bridges) be
War Crimes? Would hurting their People this way turn more Iranians against
America? How would that help facilitate regime change?
How might new Israeli Leadership in October change
Israel's execution of the Iran War and how Israel manages its relations with
America?
Our nuclear deal with the Saudi’s requires them to
embrace the Abraham Accords. They have said no unless steps are taken to create
a Palestinian State. Where do you see this
going?
A “software glitch” registered 6,600 noncitizens to
vote in NJ in 2023 and 2024—and hundreds actually cast ballots. How much does
this help Republicans’ push for stringent Voter I.D.?
Your thoughts about the “White House Correspondents Dinner”?
Is the Justice Department justified in targeting
Special Investigator Jack Smith?
Who would you like to see campaign for President in
2028 and why? Would Sec. Rubio be a stronger Republican Nominee than VP
Vance? Would Sen. Ossoff be a stronger Democratic Nominee than others
mentioned? How viable is AOC? BTW, South Carolina will be the first state to
hold a Democrat Primary. Who might that
favor? Or is it too early to discuss?
Does America have greater concern with Left Wing
Political Terrorism than Right Wing? Was the J6 attack the #1 example of
Political Terrorism in recent history? What
else might compare?
The Administration is considering “Military Options”
with Cuba. Are we pushing Cuba to be an even more failed state? How might
our taking over a failed state be in the best interests of working-class
Americans? How might controlling Cuba make American lives better?
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.
Is this an effective way to downsize a bureaucracy? Bill
Pulte, acting director of national intelligence, is slashing jobs. Can a
business man with no Intel background make wise cuts without putting our
Intelligence at risk? Is Trump saying the DNI function, which overviews 18
Intel agencies to assure coordination, essentially has no value? Does cost
savings justify the risk?
What do you fear more: artificial intelligence, or the
government that would regulate it?
Where are we today with the Epstein files? Does this
issue still resonate with voters? What might change if Democrats win the House?
Big Win for Executive Authority. What are the
ramifications? The Supreme Court ruled
that a President can fire any agency member for any reason. It hands the
president the power to control every regulatory agency in the executive branch.
Congress created agencies to be independent of presidential control by only
allowing the president to fire for cause—not for policy disagreements. (…but
The Federal Reserve will remain independent. Why is there a double standard?)

under 16. Should we do the same?

Girls’ Housing. A growing network of home-sharing programs is helping Super
Seniors find compatible housemates to save money.
Your thoughts about Pope Leo’s concerns with A.I. Pope Leo added his moral point of view to
a

local services, have come under particular scrutiny of late, as Republican
state lawmakers around the country search for new strategies to address the
affordability crisis.
Vandals? Or Vanity? Did vandalism or incompetence cause
the Reflective Pool problems?
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?
Your thoughts about Spacex: largest IPO ever. And
Musk, the first trillionaire.
Is this “hot” book politically important? Or mostly
just gossip? The most revealing part of NYT reporters Maggie
Haberman and Jonathan Swan’s new book “Regime Change” isn’t the bombshell
reports or gossip, but just how much information is leaking from the White
House.
Should we call this “Corruption” more than “Insider
Trading”? What if I buy a stock, and have the power to affect a major
change that dramatically increases that stock’s value?
A related issue: is it OK to allow bets on
ANYTHING? Folks who never worked on a
trading floor are moving markets with “informed wagers”. Some are getting rich.
How healthy are we with RFK Jr? Food & Drug
Administration blocked publication of several studies supporting the safety of
widely used vaccines against Covid-19 and shingles.
The color of money is now gray. What are the
ramifications of Seniors holding more wealth? In 1989, Americans over age
