How close are we to ending the Iran War? And to
assurances that Iran won’t remain a nuclear risk? The House moved to end
the War, symbolically rebuking the President. Why would that matter?
Is “Just win this damn election by any
means!” driving both Parties, setting aside Integrity? Consider Paxton in
Texas and Platner in Maine—both considered flawed Candidates.
Did Voters telegraph any important message with Tuesday’s
Primary Elections? Are Democrats out of touch with working-class voters?
59% view the Party unfavorably. What kind of leadership do Democrats need? Has MAGA
lost support with most voters? What might Republicans need to do?
What do we need to do to fix America’s failing
Education? Does our Educational problem directly affect America’s Democracy
if our kids never learn Civics? High school seniors’ reading scores in 2024
were the lowest recorded since 1992. Math scores for 12th graders hit their
lowest level since 2005. Should we look at how Mississippi went from 49th to
9th in their reading scores?
How important is competence and relevant experience
for Cabinet-Level Offices? Trump is nominating Todd Blanche as Attorney
General. And picked Bill Pulte to serve as acting Director of National
Intelligence. Pulte has no Intel experience—but has been a MAGA attack dog. He
will have access to top level secrets to use against “enemies”. How might these
picks make America safer?
Jill Biden says she felt Joe “was suffering a stroke”
at that Debate. Should she have stepped in and stopped her husband from running
again? How did that affect Democrats?
What would be the most appropriate way for us to
celebrate America’s 250th Birthday? How do we view the
Arch, the $250 Bill, and other "branding" changes being made?
How might the Mid-Term elections be affected if the President is seen as making
America's celebration mostly about himself?
Is CBS News, and “60 Minutes” being changed to be more
“balanced”—or just trying to seek Trump’s favor for “financial reasons”? Your
view of Scott Pelley being fired from “60 Minutes”?
Is America pushing Cuba to be a failed state? How
might taking over a failed state be in the best interests of working-class
Americans?
Where do you think the Chicago Bears are going to
move? Or will they stay in Chicago?
Should we call this “Corruption” more than “Insider
Trading”? What if I buy a stock, and have the power to affect a major
change that dramatically increases that stock’s value? A related issue: is
it OK to allow bets on ANYTHING? Folks
who never worked on a trading floor are moving markets with “informed wagers”.
Some are getting rich.
Your thoughts about Pope Leo’s concerns with A.I. Pope Leo added his moral point of view to
a growing backlash against the impact of A.I. “Threatens to normalize an
anti-human vision.”
Your thoughts about Colbert’s farewell to Late Night
TV.
What is the Benefit and Risk of blocking international
flights into major Sanctuary Cities? The Trump administration is
"drawing up plans" blocks such flights according to Homeland Security
Secretary Markwayne Mullin. Cities with major international airports including
Boston, Denver, Philadelphia, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, Newark,
Seattle and San Francisco.
Is Trump governing as President of the Republican
Party, less concerned with any negative views of other voters, even given his 38%
Approval? How does this affect the GOP?
Why so many Indian-American winners? Many recent
finalists—and especially winners—of the Scripps National Spelling Bee are
children of immigrants, particularly Indian-American families.
Over decades, how much of America’s strength has been
dependent upon our ability to build alliances vs. separating ourselves from our
traditional Allies? NATO is forced to change because of us. Spain wants a European Union Army to replace
NATO protections.
Is the Administration attacking Freedom of Speech? ABC
accused the FCC of violating its free speech rights by investigating “The View”
just because the program discusses political views the Administration doesn’t
like. What about attacks on Late Night Hosts like Colbert and Kimmel?
How healthy are we with RFK Jr? Food & Drug
Administration blocked publication of several studies supporting the safety of
widely used vaccines against Covid-19 and shingles.
The color of money is now gray. What are the
ramifications of Seniors holding more wealth? In 1989, Americans over age
55 held 56% of the wealth. Today it’s 74%. Wealth for under 40 has shrunk from
12 to 6.6%. 18% of Americans are Senior citizens, up from 13% in 1990.
Is the issue of Women’s Rights back on the ballot? The
Supreme Court temporarily restored access to the teleprescribing and mailing
of abortion drugs, which now account for more than 60% of all abortions in
the health system. How might this issue affect the November Election?
Is Musk’s idea plausible? “Universal HIGH
INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with
unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in
excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.” Concerns: It doesn’t address sense of
purpose. People go to work every day feeling they matter.
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?
Is America primarily “a Christian Nation”? A major
250th-anniversary prayer gathering conducted on the National Mall was backed by
the White House. The Evangelical Christian prayer/worship gathering was called
“Rededicate 250”. Event planners say it was to remind Americans that our
Founding Fathers wanted us to be a “Christian Nation”. How accurate is that
view? How wise?
