On Day 10, do we see this War as in our national
interest? How patient will we be if military action is protracted? How
likely is it Trump will declare victory and say the rest is up to the Iranian
people?
Does the same Regime still control Iran?
Trump demands “unconditional surrender”. What would
that look like? He offers amnesty to those who surrender now, to avoid
"certain death". Who do Iranians surrender to?
Trump says he must be involved in picking Iran’s next
Leader. Is that “nation building”? Can Iran’s leadership be changed “tops
down” as we did with Venezuela? Or must it be more “bottoms up” through the
Iranian People? How can America help facilitate an outcome that’s in our best
interests?
Do we need to address the fact that Russia gave Iran
intel on U.S. targets to kill Americans?
Your thoughts on how the Administration is selling the
War. Hegseth: In asking for the names of soldiers killed, “the
press only wants the President to look bad.” Social media is replacing
daily press briefings. “Call of Duty” video game clips are meshed with actual
military footage to project “power”.
Is Fetterman right? He blasted his Party after almost
25% of House Democrats refused to call Iran the world's biggest terrorism
underwriter. Proof that Democrats are run by Progressives?
Are Democrats anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian? How
much might that reflect the country?
What might a “friendly take-over” of Cuba look like?
Would that 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.”
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 can take yours. We’re
going to take ours.” The initiative reflects Trump’s effort to shift U.S.
national security strategy toward the Western Hemisphere. How does being at War
with Iran in the Mid-East fit into this broader strategy?
How does extreme focus on foreign affairs help
working-class Americans with Affordability?
Noam was fired. What experience and skills are important
to leading Homeland Security? How qualified is Sen. Markwayne Mullin? He has been an Oklahoma
Senator since 2023, and was a U.S. Representative for ten years prior. Former successful
plumbing business owner, rancher, and undefeated mixed martial arts fighter. Mullin
has an associate degree in construction technology.
(BTW: Reports are that Trump didn’t fire Noam over her
policy or how she handled deportation. He hated the flap over “self-promoting” TV
commercials. $220M was spent on her TV spots. Under oath, Noam says Trump
approved them. Trump says he did not. What role has Miller played?)
What did we learn with the Texas Primary?
Democrats chose a less known Moderate Centrist, Talarico, over a much better
known firebrand, Crockett. More Moderate Sen. Cornyn and controversial Attorney
General, Paxton, now face an expensive run-off. Paxton suggests he
would be open to dropping out of the run-off if Senate
Republicans eliminated the filibuster and pass a bill that requires voters
to show proof of citizenship to register to vote. The shift from
Paxton comes after Trump said he plans to endorse in the Senate GOP
primary “soon” and called for whomever he doesn’t endorse to drop out of the
race. More Democrats voted in their primary than Republicans.
How effective are local Democrat candidates who mostly
just hammer Trump in their ads?
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?
The DHS Shutdown continues. Who do you believe is
winning the political battle?
How useful an idea is Trump’s Board of Peace? Can it
make an important difference?
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 prefers?
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”.
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.”
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?
