Trump attacked Iran with a goal of regime change. How does
our superior Military Might change a regime that for decades has controlled a country
of 93M, 4X the size of California?
Having decimated Iran’s leadership, how do we assure that
any new regime is “better”? How do we “nation build” to control Iran’s
future so they won’t be even more oppressive to its people, even more anti-American,
and may even believe they must seek the Bomb for their own
self-preservation?
Why was this War in America’s best interest? How
high a priority does America view another war of choice? Do we want an America
that makes War decisions like this without Congressional buy-in?
What message did America send our allies and
adversaries? Many nations do bad things. How much do we need to exercise
our Military Might? Do we risk being seen as an unstable rogue nation? What
opportunities does our action present our adversaries—especially Putin and
China? Russia says Trump has “untied our hands to secure our safety”. Is
such a view in our best interesst?
After deposing the Clintons re Epstein, will the House
depose Trump? If not, will America care? Will we just move on, disregard
charges of any DOJ cover-up, and become disinterested in the Epstein Files?
Will victims ever see something that looks like Justice? What happens next?
What would a “friendly take-over” of Cuba look like?
What if China orchestrated a “friendly take-over” of Taiwan? Who would be
“winner” if both powers agreed to “take” both islands?
Paramount is likely to take over Warner Bros.
Discovery’s studio and streaming business. What happens when CNN is
merged with CBS News? Paramount is run by the Ellison family, friendly to
Trump. CBS News is already moving more to the Right. Keep in mind what happened
to objective News when Murdoch bought FOX. Will CBS/CNN become Right-Wing
opinion, like FOX?
What Important News came out of the State of the
Union?
What minds might have been changed last Tuesday? R’s loved it. D’s hated it. How was it received
by Independents? Trump’s Approval with Independents is 26%. 11% drop in
viewership vs. Trump’s 2025 speech. 33M viewers. 9M on FOX. 5M on ABC.
What’s your take on how Democrats reacted in the
Chamber? Not standing? The shout-outs? The sign bearer? What about “the
Democrat Response” by Gov. Spanberger?
What were your “cringe moments” at The State of the
Union?
What’s going on in Texas? In the Democratic
Primary, multiple polls show BOTH Crockett and Talarico winning, some by 12%.
That’s weird. Betters see Talarico winning the Nomination and losing the
Election. Will Democrats pick a
firebrand, like Crockett? Or a Moderate Centrist like Talarico?
Does Trump’s constant combative (insulting?) approach help
or hurt Republicans? Does he care about political downsides his polices may
cause Republicans? Most Americans feel he has set wrong priorities, hurt Affordability,
and acquired too much power. Trump’s Approvals are about 40%.
How do you view the possibility of life beyond Earth?
What about Obama’s comments?
Are any family members still trapped in Mexico? Our
thoughts and prayers are with them.
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 citizens?
The DHS Shutdown continues. Who do you believe is
winning the political battle?
How useful an idea is Trump’s Board of Peace?
Will Trump compromise with Dems and change how we
execute Deportation? Would it help Republicans if Trump only targeted bad guys,
not ALL Undocs—as Miller sees his mission?
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, including homicides, 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 are applied?
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.
Secretary of State Rubio: “The United States and
Europe belong together." But has Trump moved away from America’s
historic tight relationship with our European allies. Which is it?
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?)
Trade deficit soared 94% in November, higher than LY,
despite tariffs.
$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”.
How big an issue is the stealing of federal funds from
public assistance programs in Minnesota? Does it matter that criminals
are mostly Somali?
NY Times: Are there any limits to your power? “My
own morality. My own mind. That’s the only thing that can stop me.”
Might China take steps to acquire Taiwan? Will Trump
act to stop them?
