Are apocalyptic concerns about “Super Intelligence”
justified, or mostly over-blown? What’s the greater risk: NO government guard
rails…or HAVING government guard rails? Data Centers have become a
bipartisan hot-button issue. How do you finding yourself using S.I.?
How do you believe Democrats will address Iran if they
win control of Congress? Looking at where we are economically, militarily,
and politically, is America losing this war? What actions might the President
or Congress take to put this mostly behind us…or at least reduce the price of
Oil?
In the eyes of the world, is America now being seen as
“on the downswing” and China “on the upswing”? What came out of Trump’s meeting
with Xi? Did either earn any kind of advantage?
Who is hurt the most by this Press flap? Legal and
1st Amendment issues aside, is Trump’s open “war” on the Press an
effective political strategy? Will bans change how the Press reports on him? America’s
President greeted China’s President by praising China’s state-controlled Press
for “friendliness”…while banning members of our own Press.
Do you see America the same way our President sees America?
Trump’s U.N. speech underscored his approach: power over principle,
with laws just an unnecessary constraint on actions. “Take what you
want. The only limit on my power is my own morality, my own mind. It’s the only
thing that can stop me.” Trump’s core doctrine: America will use
overwhelming military and economic power to suit our own interests,
regardless of how it affects others. Do you agree with this approach?
Blue Wave or “Undertow”? Trump vs. Socialism? Which might
win more Independent voters who dislike extreme voices they see leading their Party?
Independents are the largest voting group. How do you see them responding to ads
(pro & con) that focus on Trump? Like new taxpayer-funded ad of Trump
railing against “Communists, Marxists, Fascists”? Will Independents NOT vote?
Do Democrats need to move away from Trans Rights? Some
Dem candidates are proactively opposing “boys in girls’ sports” to deflect
Republican attacks. How do you see this playing out?

Republicans support raising taxes?
Do you feel Israel’s October 27 Elections will lead to
the end of Netanyahu’s leadership? Your thoughts about Netanyahu’s U.N. speech.
Was he mostly playing to an Israeli audience? Many nations packed
the room with folks who were seated just to walk out. Did it change anything?
Does Sen. Fetterman help or hurt Democrats by pushing
back frankly against some of his Party’s policies and positions? Do you feel he
will caucus with Republicans next year?
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 in trouble with Hispanics? Rep.
Salazar is in a safe Florida District where Trump won by 14%. Her TV ad
criticizes Trump Immigration Policies. Do you believe the polling that shows
Hispanics, who moved toward Trump in 2024, are moving away from him now.
Gov. Newsom says he won’t run for President if Kamala

weapons capable of defending the joint force against hostile adversary
action," but declined to say what the weapons are, how they work or when
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
Left Wing Political Terrorism than Right Wing? Was the J6 attack the top
example of Political Terrorism? What
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?
