Bondi was fired for poor handling of the Epstein
Files, and not successfully indicting Trump’s political enemies. Clearly, Bondi
was 100% loyal. She had extensive prosecutorial experience, and knew the Law. What
different qualifications is Trump seeking for Bondi’s replacement?
Did Trump’s address to the nation change anything? After
two jets were shot down, one missing crew member was rescued. Has our dominant military
success changed anything important, so far?
Is it OK for America to destroy civilian
infrastructures to force Iran to open the Strait? “I gave Iran ten days to MAKE A DEAL or
OPEN UP THE HORMUZ STRAIT. Time is running out. 48 hours before all Hell will
reign down on them. Glory be to GOD!” And then: "Tuesday will be
Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be
nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be
living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.”
Is Trump making this “a Holy War” viewing God as on
OUR side? How influential is Pope Leo in pushing back? The Pope urged
global leaders to end conflicts raging across the world and abandon schemes
for power, conquest or domination. A new era of American Military Might
cloaked in religious righteousness presents a challenge: How to confront a
vision of God that sounds radically different than the Vatican’s view. The Administration’s
depictions of a warlike God who picks sides have startled Rome, to a point Pope
Leo has felt compelled to counter. He has quoted Isaiah 1:15: “Even
though you make many prayers, I will not listen—your hands are full of
blood.”
Should Congress give the Department of War a huge
increase? Is warfare trumping defense? Because of Iran, and embroiled in
conflicts around the world, the White House is asking Congress to approve $1.5
trillion for defense in 2027. This is the highest level in modern history: a 40%
bump from what was authorized for 2026. The Administration wants to couple the
proposed increase of $73B with cuts across domestic agencies, eliminating climate,
housing, education programs. Is this OK?
“'If you import The Third World, you become The
Third World!'” — AND THAT’S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
AS LONG AS I AM PRESIDENT." Is this a racist statement? Or are today’s
foreigners a greater risk than a benefit to who we are as a nation? Is
Birthright Citizenship a mistaken interpretation of the Constitution? The
Administration wants to change this: "All persons born or
naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof,
are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
Hegseth blocked promotions of two Black and two Women
officers approved by Military Panels. Is
“merit” being used as a cover for ideological, racial, gender-based filtering?
Or did “affirmative action” and DEI go too far and it’s time to take a more
balanced look at Race?
Do you support our return to the moon, building a
base, and then going to Mars? “The moon is OK for now. Mars
will be good if there is no place left for Jews to go on this planet.”: Larry
Greenberg.
Do you believe Rubio will run for President? He said
he wouldn’t if Vance ran.
Would taking over Cuba be in our best interests? Would most Americans want this? How would
Puerto Rico feel if we put resources into this?
How much is the President turning America’s 250th
Anniversary into a celebration of Trump? Does self-promotion—statues,
monuments, awards—help or hurt Trump politically?
Your feeling about Gambling on events? And Polymarket?
Should we revisit the issue of Presidential Pardons? A
negative more than any plus?
Efforts to strike or rename events honoring United
Farm Workers leader César Chávez are accelerating after allegations
surfaced that he sexually abused girls and young women.
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 calling the Texas Democrat “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? Really?)
Trump’s focus is on securing the Western
Hemisphere. Is “Shield of the
Americas” the “Don-roe Doctrine”? Is his
foreign policy approach: “You take yours. And we’ll take ours.”
What does it mean if the U.S. government is insolvent? That’s
the conclusion of 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.
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."
Michael Flynn pled guilty to lying to the FBI. Trump
pardoned him. The Justice Department dismissed the case. Our government then
gave Flynn $1M for “wrongful conviction”. Can every J6 felon pardoned by
Trump look into suing America for “wrongful conviction”?
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.
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”.
