better for America than Obama’s Deal?
How has progress toward an Iran Deal affected
relations between America and Israel?
How much did Sunday’s UFC White House “gladiator”
event reflect who we are as a nation? How much does greater focus on macho actions,
like warfare and fights, affect our politics today?
How real is “rigged” mail-in voting? Trump’s Exec
Order allows the Post Office to not deliver mail-in votes in states who don’t
turn over their voter rolls to Justice. Why would unsubstantiated voting charges
require actions that step outside America’s Rule of Law, Due Process, and
Constitution?
How interested are you in The World Cup? How big a
deal is soccer to most Americans?
Is there a Big Picture message in the Knicks win? Right
now, New York represents a place that embraces diversity instead of rejecting
it—and is having a lot more fun as a result. (BTW, superstar Jalan Brunson
is from Lincolnshire, Stevenson Hi, and considered too short to make it in the
NBA.)
What style of Leader has the best chance of being the
Democrat’s 2028 Nominee? Would that same style of Leader be able to win Independents

under 16. Should we do the same?
Big change in Family dynamics. For the first time,
families where mom and a dad both worked full time set a record
high of 52% in 2025, according to Pew Research. The share of families where the
dad works full time and the mom is not employed fell from 42% in 1975 to just
23% in 2025.
Why aren’t we giving Ukraine more support? Their
drone attacks have turned the war into at least a stalemate. Russia is
suffering. Isn’t it in our best interest to push for an ending that helps
Ukraine?
Are we pushing Cuba to be an even more failed state?
How might taking over a failed state be in the best interests of working-class
Americans? What’s the big “win” for us in making this a priority?
Where are we today with the Epstein files? Does this
issue still resonate with voters? What might change if Democrats win the House?
How much does America even care about Ocean Warming?
It drove the severe weather that just impacted the Midwest. Unusually warm
ocean temps—part of El Niño and general long-term climatic warming—pumped
excess heat and tropical moisture into the atmosphere. This moisture fueled a
collision of weather systems that produced widespread storm outbreaks across
the Midwest.
On hold? Your thoughts regarding Trump’s nomination of
Jay Clayton to be the next permanent Director of National Intelligence. Clayton
is currently the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and is
the former chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
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.”
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.
Looking at the results of Maine’s Primary, how do you
view Platner’s chances to beat Collins?
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

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

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?
