    Hi folks, The people speak: Attendees at one point were shouting “Deport Elon! Deport Elon! Deport Elon!” GOP lawmaker Harriet Hageman booed for DOGE defense at Wyoming town hall Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Looks to me like the GOP is afraid of most of us: It plays right into Democrats’ hands; they want to talk about Social Security cuts, Medicare cuts, Medicaid cuts. We don’t. Republicans want Elon Musk to shut up about Social Security Well, come Nov 2026 we will see just what most Americans think of all of this. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Sometimes you just get lucky: He broke his hand on the tail section and his parachute failed to open, with the chute catching on the branches of a tree. John Hemingway: Last surviving Battle of Britain pilot dies aged 105 Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Looks like Buyer's Remorse is spreading: North Dakota went big for Trump. Now many farmers say they face an uncertain future : NPR Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, IMO we need to do more of this: "People are livid with the takeover by Trump and are not going to be quiet about it." Vice President JD Vance booed at The Kennedy Center : NPR And the BS about diversity is just that, bullshit. Diversity in Trump 2.0; now, that is a true dichotomy. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Brought to you by the MAGA World: the [ school ] district told the Statesman [ newspaper ] that it was not the message that was at issue, but rather the hands of different skin tones on the poster. NW teacher refuses to remove these particular signs from classroom, as ordered - oregonlive.com Bullshit like this is why I refuse to be silent. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, People should not ignore orders from the bench: Ezell, the OPM acting director, did not appear to testify in court or even sit for a deposition. Trump must rehire fired federal employees immediately, judge says - oregonlive.com I think we all knew this was coming; along with many other bench decisions. Let's see how 'King Donald' acts.

    Hi Nigel, freedom and democracy in this country is not dead yet. For some of us, the glass if 1/2 full. If we do not turn back the MAGA tide next Nov, then I might agree with you. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Don, + 100%. Whenever I ask anyone who wants to take this country 'back to where it was,' just where do you want to take it; I usually get a response such as, 'You know . . . ' In reality, they have not a clue as to 'where they want to take it back' to. They just don't like things as they are now. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi dogyks, Re: Long term survival often entails short term pain. If it were only that. As I have posted before; I agreed with some of what Ronald Reagan tried to do. IMO his problem [ and today's ] is that he tried to change 40 yrs of social engineering in four yrs. Not really possible; the economy simply cannot take it. Re: DEI/woke is bigotry You are allowed to have opinions. This one is not a fact. Re: Stick to Equality, Merit and Integrity I agree. If only Trump were doing so I doubt that there would be so many people against what he is doing. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, While I am sure this does not put it to bed, it is a step forward: The Oregon Court of Appeals on Wednesday found that Oregon’s voter-approved gun control Measure 114 is constitutional Oregon gun control Measure 114 declared constitutional in major reversal by appeals court - oregonlive.com Jerry Baumchen

    Hi dogyks, IMO once again, Trump misses his mark. Most of his MAGA/Joe 6-pack types cannot afford a Tesla. Plan B? Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, I happen to agree: “You either believe, in this moment, that he is a threat to our democracy, or you don’t,” Walsh said. “Stop there. There’s nothing else to speak about.” Joe Walsh says Donald Trump could 'stop the midterms,' run again I have no doubt that Trump will make an attempt at a 3rd term. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Bill, Looks like some other Trump supporters are having regrets: 'More dissent is coming' as Fox News hosts turn on Trump: analyst You reap what you sow. Jerry Baumchen

    HiBill, As most of us know, they are afraid of the truth. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi John, IMO they do not need any assistance in looking bad. One only has to spend a very small amount of time thinking. In there, lies the problem. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, More than one way to strike back: I’m getting Nazi salutes from Subarus Tesla drivers targeted by anti-Elon Musk sentiment | CNN Business Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, This is one of those that I put in the No Shit Sherlock bin: Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) . . . President Trump’s threat to levy tariffs on key trading partners of the U.S. is hurting his constituents. Rand Paul warns Donald Trump over tariffs Did he think that they would prosper? The Trump toadies are way too short-sighted. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi John, And more: 26,000 images flagged for removal in Pentagon's DEI purge : NPR Jerry Baumchen PS) Any veterans who still support Trump?

    Hi Mark, This is what I have difficulty with. To me, Trump is like the school-yard bully; in reality, just a coward. It is so obvious. I suppose once one puts his head in the sand, it becomes difficult to see the truth. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi 422, Re: Which law? You continue to ask these types of things. It reminds me of the little kid who won't stop asking, 'Why?' Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Bill, He has also banned any reference in the military to gay. Including some heroes who had the last name of Gay. Talk about short-sighted. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Nigel, Re: aligning their benefit packages with those of other public servants It has been 25 yrs since I retired from the US federal gov't. At that time, the US Congress Critters could chose to retire under Soc Sec or they could elect to retire under the same program that I did. They had to make those choices early in their careers. Everyone that I knew about [ not that many ], chose to use the CSRS; that's what I used. IMO far better than Soc Sec. Re: The first place to start would be term limits for all politicians Nice idea; but, in reality, a pipe-dream. They are the ones making the rules. Would you change that if you were one of them?
