Tragically, this War has increased Antisemitism. It
directly motivated the Michigan synagogue attack. How is this war affecting the
life of you, your family, and the ability to worship safely?
Are today’s Democrats mostly anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian?
How much does that view feed Antisemitism? How much does that view reflect today’s
country? Is Fetterman right in blasting his Party after almost 25% of House
Democrats refused to call Iran the world's biggest terrorism underwriter?
Are today’s Democrats run by Hard Left Progressives out of touch with most voters?
Did you see anything worth discussing in watching this
year’s Oscars?
Who do you believe Illinois Democrats will choose to
be their Senate Nominee?
The Iranian people appear unable to marshal a
revolution. From a practical standpoint, are we now looking to contain Iran
more than change their regime, or force unconditional surrender?
Can we declare a military victory and just walk away in
couple more weeks? Or does “finish the job” mean stopping Iran from having a
nuclear weapon? Can air strikes do that? Can we accept anything less? Will
our actions motivate Iran even more to seek The Bomb? Are negotiations the only
path to any resolution? What might Trump need to feel “in his bones” to seek an
off ramp?
Looking at politics of this War, Trump did not make his
case to the nation before acting. “We will suffer short-term pain for long-term
gain.” Will Republicans likely suffer the pain? But, what if Iran resolves positively
and Cuba dumps Communism, joining Venezuela in supporting America, will voters be
concerned less about the cost of living and not punish Republicans?
Big Picture: Does fear of America’s willingness to use
our superior Military Might offensively effectively replace building a
coalition of allies as a deterrent against America’s enemies?
The DHS Shutdown continues. Who do you believe is
winning the political battle?
What might a “friendly take-over” of Cuba look like?
Would “taking over Cuba” be in our best interests? Trump: “I’ll take care
of Cuba.” Lindsey: “The Liberation of
Cuba is upon us.” FOX reports: “Cuba
will be falling in a few weeks.”
Looking at 2028 GOP Presidential Nominee, do you see Rubio
as an alternative to Vance? At this very early stage, betters see Vance at 37%,
Rubio at 29%. No one else has more than 5%.
How effective are local Democrat candidates who mostly
just hammer Trump in their ads?
Where is the Democrat Party? Just 30% of registered voters in an NBC News
poll view the Democratic Party positively, compared to 52% who view it
negatively. 37% of registered voters said they
viewed the Republican Party positively, with 51% seeing the GOP in a
negative light. Only 62% of Democrats viewed their party positively. 77% of
Republicans gave the GOP a favorable rating.
Trump appears to endorse eugenics during a FOX
program. He said the country has people in it who are “bad” because “there’s
something wrong with their genetics.” Does it matter that a President’s comments
like this would have been headline news less than a decade ago?
Hegseth mocked “stupid rules of engagement” for U.S.
service members. Now he says at Iranians under attack would receive “no
quarter”—a war crime under Geneva Conventions. Does it matter that his comments
would have been headline news less than a decade ago?
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?
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 does Trump’s often combative approach with anyone
who differs with him affect Republicans running in November? Is he
concerned about polls that show his key polices are not well received by
voters? Trump’s Approval is 40% driven
by Prices, Immigration, Tariffs, Warfare.
Is Voter I.D. logical and necessary in today’s
high-tech world? Or does requiring a
valid U.S. passport or birth certificate to register create an unacceptable
hurdle for too many?
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.”
Our Current Divisive Politics aside, how do you feel
about America’s experiment in Democracy? Where do we stand as a nation as
we celebrate our 250th Year? Are we generally heading in a mostly
positive direction?
