    Hi John, This site seems to have a glitch; when I try to do a Reply by clicking on the Quote icon, it does not work if someone has done a Like to the post. Hmmmmm. Re: IMO everyone who can benefit from higher ed. should get it and shouldn't depend on how wealthy your parents are. I totally agree. I went to college 1/2 time & worked to pay the costs. It took me 6 1/2 yrs to get my degree. Often, I would wonder if I would ever make it. But, I stayed with the effort. And, it has given me a far better life than if I had not done it. It can be done without family money; it is not easy & can take a long time. In the end, it is IMO very much worth it. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, So, I'm thinking that V-P Harris should do want Trump wanted his v-p to do; just do not certify the election. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Sky, Actually, with the FERS system, brought in by Reagan in 1984, vs the CSRS system I was in, that is now a lot easier. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi olof, For some reason, I cannot Reply to your post; so I will do it this way. Re: 4 years from now, the rightwing people will be as unhappy as ever. Just wait until they see those higher prices that tariffs will bring. And, can anyone tell me just how a POTUS lowers housing prices? If anything, housing is a true supply & demand system. Or, as Will Rogers said, 'Buy land, they are not making anymore of it.' Then who's ox will be getting gored? Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Nigel, I'm with you; except for: I’d probably consider going to church if that happened I'm at the age where my time is VERY important to me. Why waste any of what little I have left? Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, While I am glad that Harrison Ford & Dick Van Dyke now support Harris; however, where were they two weeks ago, when it would count much more? Dick Van Dyke recites Civil Rights speech while endorsing Harris: ‘Hatred is not the norm’ Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Rob, My personal take on the US military when it is personnel vs mission; the mission comes first. I would expect that any info they were carrying would have been with some other military personnel, also; on a different flight. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Hm, usually, you cannot shut him up: Donald Trump is refusing to say how he voted on Florida’s abortion measure — and getting testy about it. In the words of Jack Nickolson: You can't handle the truth. Trump refuses to divulge abortion vote, snaps at reporter - oregonlive.com It must be something about that comment regarding women: Like it or not. A real man - NOT. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Phil, Re: start fires aboard aircraft bound for North America Like the Lockerbie aircraft bombing, they want them to go off over the Atlantic Ocean. Due to some delays, after loading, the Lockerbie bomb went off over land, allowing the investigation to begin. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Looks like he is getting an early start: Donald Trump is re-using his 2020 playbook to baselessly claim the 2024 election is being stolen from him A con man has got to con.

    Hi folks, Expect to see more of this if Trump wins: The day after Calli gave birth to her first child in November 2021, a Coeur d’Alene police officer showed up in her hospital room. Since Dobbs, Idaho mothers increasingly accused of child abuse while pregnant - OPB If Trump wins, will we become a country like East Germany was. Where you could not trust anyone to not 'rat' you out to the Stasi? Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, I am sure that some of you have never heard of this organization. I remember it well. IMO it was an off-shoot of the insanity of the McCarthy Era. While I have not read it yet [ I will soon ], this book seems to tell a lot about it: Birchers: How the John Birch Society Radicalized the American Right by Matthew Dallek | Goodreads From the book: The sisters were taught that both Martin Luther King Jr. and Fred Rogers were communists. Remind you of anyone? Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Ken, Well, you are the country that we trade with the most. I would think that it is a very long list. Jerry Baumchen PS) I have been from BC to Quebec, and a lot of places in between, because of purchasing contracts with Canadian companies; many times, in fact.
