What stood out to you with this year’s Oscars and the
top winning films?
How much are Democrats out of touch with mainstream voters?
How much are Democrats anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian? How much might their
views feed Antisemitism? However, only 32% of Americans see Israel in positive
light—will 39% view Israel negatively. At the same time, just 30% of voters
view the Democratic Party positively, compared to 52% who view it negatively. Given
such low national Approval, why have Democrats won virtually all recent
contested local elections?
Did the results of the Illinois Primary Elections
teach us anything important?
What is today’s goal with Iran? Are we looking to
contain Iran more than change their regime, or force unconditional surrender? Does
“finish the job” mean stopping Iran from having a nuclear weapon? How? Can we
do that without boots on the ground? Can we trust having negotiations?
How does Iran affect the political landscape leading
to the Mid-Terms? If America sees a positive ending in Iran, how much would it
affect voters concerns with Cost of Living issues?
“We don’t need anybody.” Trump operates as
a bully. That can be a plus and a minus with world diplomacy. Does fear of Trump’s
willingness to use superior Military Might offensively effectively
replace building a coalition of allies as a deterrent against our enemies? Or more of a problem?
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.” Do most
Americans care one way or the other?
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%.
Independent Voters are at a record 45%. Looking beyond
the Mid-Terms, What Moderate Candidates might we see surfacing who will capture
interest from Independents?
Are we wrong not to discuss this? 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.”
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 comments like these
would have been headline news a few years ago—but hardly mentioned today?
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.”
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?
