How concerned are you about Artificial Intelligence? Is
the greater risk moving too fast without effective standards and controls? Or
is fear essentially “a hoax”? That A.I. doesn’t need Government action to
safeguard us: “just a smart President”? Or letting China beat us
technologically?

How big a difference will Independent voters be in the
Mid-Terms? How do you see today’s Independents
reacting to national focus on Trump and his accomplishments? Is raising fear of
Democrats as “too extreme” the Republicans most effective way to collect more Independent
votes?
Do you see Moderates in either Party being able to offset
the energy of their much “louder” Extremes? How much does “Socialism” hurt Democrats?
How much does “MAGA” hurt the GOP? Does “having a big tent” mean
overlooking antisemites and racists because you need their votes…and winning is
everything?
Education is in steep decline everywhere. What’s causing
it? What changes would help? Teenagers more
accustomed to smartphones than Shakespeare are reading at the worst levels seen
this century. A 2025 test of 760,000 15-year-olds across 91 countries showed
reading, mathematics and science scores at their lowest levels since data began
to be collected in 2000.

out frankly against his Party?
Is “laundering” Slavery and Black History by this
Conservative Administration a form of “racism”…or a necessary over-due
rebalancing of Race issues created by decades of “woke” Liberal actions? Does
each side “swing” too far when they are in power? Is that happening now?
Gov. Newsom says he won’t run for President if Kamala

with Democrats. Might this change if Bibi’s Party loses the election? Related:

Is Trump's behavior sufficiently erratic, impulsive,
self-referential and resistant to corrective information that it should be
treated as a serious question of Presidential judgment? Has America become
so accustomed to Trump's behavior that we have stopped asking whether that
behavior is acceptable from a President? Consider someone who repeatedly:
·
makes extraordinarily consequential decisions
impulsively more than strategically
·
lashes out at critics and perceived enemies for
questionable reasons
·
treats disagreement as personal betrayal
·
changes positions dramatically and then
insists he never did
·
exaggerates or makes claims that are readily
disproved
·
appears unusually preoccupied with personal
loyalty and vindication
·
makes decisions that seem to prioritize
personal interests over institutional interests
·
surrounds himself with people who reinforce
rather than challenge all of the above

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.

emissions in our best interests? How smart is it to totally disregard the
