    Hi folks, But, but, the winning: This is the third preliminary injunction granted by federal judges against Trump’s use of the wartime law in a court’s district. Trump administration loses in two courtrooms in one day on deportations • Oregon Capital Chronicle Just like his last term in office, the loser just keeps on losing. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Where is DOGE when we need it: It said operating the island prison was nearly three times more expensive than any other federal prison at the time. Trump says he'll reopen Alcatraz prison, closed in 1963 due to high costs : NPR More crackpot ideas from the insane mind of Trump. To upgrade Alcatraz, would take more time than Trump has to live. And, that is nothing when compared to the costs. So much winning. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, And, more not-quite-so-happy buyers: "We're on a very long, slow path to self-destruction," A Maryland town wanted Trump to cut waste. Now it's a target : NPR Sheesh, who would've seen this coming? Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Nigel, Re: He’s aggressively attacking any media that is contrary to his opinions and trying to shut them down. It is what he is. However, if he continues to try this, he is not going to get much else done in his last 4 yrs. Although, I doubt that he cares. That is the problem when one only thinks of oneself. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Speaking about movies, I just read about this up & coming one: The Billion Dollar Spy - IMDb It sounded interesting, so I got the book: The Billion Dollar Spy - Wikipedia I'm about 1/3 of the way thru the book. Well worth reading IMO. I recommend it if you like this type of stuff. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Here is one view: Yet the fraud in Mar-a-Logo keeps wielding it like a club, proving he's an economic illiterate whose tariffs are self-inflicted wounds on America."

    Hi Bill, Trump continues to support the argument that he is the dumbest POTUS in our history. And, he is so stupid he does not even know that he is doing so. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Looks like promises are nothing but wind: These rural communities were awarded grants from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to fix long-standing infrastructure problems, and they expected funding to be delivered this year. But last month, the Trump administration canceled their grants and hundreds of others, including ones that had already been promised but not yet paid out. Local governments scramble to replace federal disaster funding : NPR Once Trump cuts off funds for NPR, they won't be able to keep us informed about things like this. Bet those folks are really glad that they voted for Trump. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, As much as it hurts, I saw this coming: Trump moves to slash NPR, PBS funding over ‘radical, woke propaganda disguised as ‘news’' - oregonlive.com He wants to silence all of us. Jerry Baumchen PS) Let's hope that she is successful: PBS chief slams Trump’s attempt to cut funding for PBS and NPR as ‘blatantly unlawful’ - oregonlive.com

    Hi folks, There are times when I think Trump might just believe that the Earth is flat. He is totally incapable of accepting that he lost in 2020: Then [ Trump ] again went into Biden. “He should have never been there. The election was rigged.” "Frankly, I Never Heard Of You": A Testy Donald Trump Tussles With Terry Moran During Contentious ABC News Interview Marking POTUS' First 100 Days What was it Jack Nickolson said in a movie, something about 'handling the truth?'

    Hi Keith, Hmmm, that reminds me of a story about money & a whore. Hmmmm, Jerry Baumchen PS) Actually, I am one of those that believes we all have our price. Fortunately, I have not yet found mine.

    Hi Keith, I think he is also a definite potential. It looks like the D's might have a number of good candidates. And, maybe one that you might vote for. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Recently, I was reading that Trump really reacts to polls; he is not going to like this one: 37% admit they’re downright afraid 80% of Americans dislike this Trump idea, new poll shows - oregonlive.com But, but, the winning. Jerry Baumchen PS) I can barely wait until Nov 2026.

    Hi David, The Trump admin has arrested one judge already. IMO there is no reason to believe that they would not try to arrest any judge[s] that get in their way. Give it some time & let's see what plays out.

    Hi folks, The gloves have came off: the Trump administration would consider arresting high-ranking judges—including Supreme Court justices Karoline Leavitt Boasts Trump Wouldn’t Hesitate to Arrest SCOTUS Justices Speak up at your own risk. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Joe, Earlier today I was reading about him. He is definitely a potential. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, An interesting commentary on Trump: He seeks to go a bridge too far. And to that end, he probably has convinced himself that the lies or fabrications he invents are true, to the point of being delusional. The fundamental flaw is that Trump operates on instincts that can be delusional by ignoring basic facts. Trump has convinced himself his delusions are reality When I was growing up, a kid across the street was quite like this; he would tell a lie many times over, and then believe it. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Keith, Agree 100%. We were in a situation where no one had any memory of previous events. Better to be safe than sorry. Jerry Baumchen
