Nationwide air stop. Are we investing federal dollars
in ways that make us stronger and safer? Or on politically driven priorities at
the expense of essential infrastructure? How much should be spent on
Deportation vs. making America work better? Congress committed $269B to
immigration enforcement over five years. A fraction of that investment could give
us a modern, reliable air traffic control system. Will a new Congress address
this? Or, like Immigration, just kick it down the road?
Beyond the sexual scandal, what big questions surface
with this Nvidia mess? Huang—a Steve Jobs figure in the world of super-chips
and A.I.—resigns. What are the implications for America’s business? Our security?
Our dealings with China? The politics risks to Lutnick and Trump?
Will we see the
Republican Party begin to separate itself from Trump, or Trump try to make the
Republican Party even more dependent on him? Trump tells Vance to focus
on “corruption and crime” in Democrat-run states, no longer on Iran. Is Trump
gearing up to do another big wave of “Stolen Election”? He appears to be gearing up to focus more on combat than working
with Democrats to get important legislation done. Has
the White House decided that, having lost the argument over the Economy and
Iran, its best political strategy is to make the next argument about whether
Democrats can be trusted to govern—or even to conduct elections?
Has America had enough
of political warfare? Is “combat” dead? Is America more united in what we want from our Leaders than what we
want from our Government? The election demonstrated deep dissatisfaction with our
direction. Was it more about “cost of living”, or something broader? Are
we ready for a different kind of leader who understands that strength doesn't
require hostility, disagreement doesn't imply disloyalty, and governing
requires compromise? Does our political system allow us to elect that kind of
leader?
Trump says we don’t need to do more about Iran. No
strikes. No negotiations. So, what now?
Why did “Impeach Hegseth” fail? Did the effort weaken
Hegseth, or make him stronger?
Trump says Deportation has been too tough and needs to
change. Will he change policies? Or will he allow Chief of Staff Miller to continue
his hyper-focus on mass deportation?
Should Chuck Shumer step aside and let a fresh face
become Senate Majority Leader?
Your thoughts about Rep. Jordan elected as House
Minority Leader.
Is it OK for America’s Attorney General to be the
defender of the President and his Cabinet?
What bigger message did California send by rejected
the Billionaire’s Tax?
Muslims are now in key offices. How big a risk to
America are Muslim-Americans? Are they fundamentally at odds with the
values shared by most of us? Or is Islamophobia as irrational and morally wrong
as Antisemitism? Is attributing evil beliefs or actions of individuals and
extremist movements with those of an entire group the same mistake that continues
to fuel Antisemitism?
Is this cause to
impeach RFK jr? The Pan American
Health Organization, an international health body, revoked America’s measles
elimination status—for a nation that had kept the vaccine-preventable disease
at bay for decades. Runaway measles outbreaks in the United States, as well as needless
deaths, are all due to low measles vaccination coverage.
What kind of 2028 Nominee will Republicans seek? From
the MAGA lane? Or from the more Traditional Lane? What about Vance? Rubio?
DeSantis? Haley? Cruz? Who else comes to
mind?
What kind of 2028 Nominee will Democrats seek? From
the Progressive/“Socialist” Lane? Or Moderate Lane? Newsom? Ossoff? AOC?
Shapiro? Buttigieg? Emanual? Who comes to mind?
Are conspiracy theories about election fraud mostly a
political weapon—used not to prove an election was stolen, but to convince
voters that elections cannot be trusted?
Should Democrats now do what Trump urged Republicans to
do: end the filibuster?
Is Israel losing U.S. support? Why do you believe Trump
cancelled $4B in aid to Israel?
Is Israel making serious steps to move beyond Netanyahu?
Newsom commutes the sentences of all 548 death row
inmates. Do you support this?
Where are we today with the Epstein files? Does this
issue still resonate with voters? What might change now that Democrats run
Congress?
Has Trump been treated unfairly by Mainstream Media?
Are there valid reasons to replace the Press Pool with Roosevelt’s old swimming
pool? The proximity of the media to the seat of U.S. executive power has
long been an acknowledgment of the importance of a free press in a democracy.
What’s the possible benefit to our
country by diminishing this institution?
Venezuela’s Machado returns home. What happens now? Her
surprise arrival threatens to complicate Trump’s plans for Venezuela as she
pushes for presidential elections.
Do vanity projects help a President’s legacy—what he
constructs or renames? If Trump’s name came off every building he
constructed or renamed, what would remain of his legacy?
Is political humor a no-no? Be it Trump’s “nuke L.A.”,
or late-night comedians’ rants?
In order to avoid a Social Security shortfall, will Congress
support raising taxes?
Birth Rates continue to fall. Do we need more
immigrants to fill jobs and pay taxes?
Do you feel our troubles with Canada will improve now
post-Election?
Good idea? Older Adults are turning to ‘Golden
Girls’ Housing. A growing network of home-sharing programs is helping Super
Seniors find compatible housemates to save money.
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? On the other hand,
are we spending millions without seeing plans work to bring emissions down?
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.
