After ten days of warfare, does America see this as in
our national interests?
Does the IRGC still control Iran? Or are they losing their
grip on the country?
Boots on the ground? Pro-American, Iranian Kurdish
forces based in Iraq are preparing armed units that could enter Iran, creating
a potential new front in an already expanding conflict.
Trump demands “unconditional surrender” How can Iranians
do that? He offers amnesty to IRGC members, police, and military who
surrender weapons to avoid "certain death"…ceasing violent actions,
abandoning posts, and potentially defecting or transitioning to support
anti-regime forces.
Trump says he must be involved in picking Iran’s next
Leader. Isn’t this essentially nation- building? Can any leadership void happen
“tops down” or only “bottoms up” through the Iranian People? How do we help
facilitate this in our best interests?
How patient will America be in supporting this War if
it might be protracted? How likely is Trump to declare a total Military victory,
and then say the rest is up to Iran?
Your thoughts on how the Administration is selling the
War. Hegseth: In disclosing 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”.
Reports are that Trump didn’t fire Noam over how she
handled deportation. He hated the flap over her “self-promoting” TV commercials.
$220M are being spent on her TV spots. Under oath, Noam says Trump approved
them. Trump says he did not. What should we believe?
Sen. Markwayne Mullin will be confirmed as new Sec. of
Homeland Security. Oklahoma Senator since 2023, and former U.S.
Representative for ten years prior. Former business owner (plumbing), rancher,
and undefeated mixed martial arts fighter. Associate degree in construction
technology and is an enrolled member of the Cherokee Nation. He’s the only
Senator without a bachelor’s degree.
Noam will now be Special Envoy for “Shield of the
Americas.” This initiative reflects Trump’s effort to shift U.S.
national security strategy toward the Western Hemisphere. It’s an industry
outreach and enforcement initiative developed by ICE to prevent the illegal
export of sensitive U.S. munitions and strategic technology to terrorists,
criminal organizations and foreign adversaries.
Will Netanyahu be pardoned? Trump wants President
Herzog to pardon Netanyahu "today". He calls Herzog "a
disgrace" for failing to act over the last year. "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 effective are local Democrat candidates who mostly
just hammer Trump in their ads?
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.
What might America’s “friendly take-over” of Cuba look
like? Can we pick their leaders, or must this happen “ground up” through the
Cuban People? How do we help?
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.
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.
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?
