  1. Hi Nigel, IMO the Israelis are just doing to Hezbollah what they have been doing to Israeli citizens for yrs. Jerry Baumchen
  2. Hi Mark, The Palestinians only have to reach a peace agreement with the Israelis and then they can make progress on all of their disputes. IMO it is the shards of Arafat that are still causing the problems. War is hell. Jerry Baumchen

  7. Hi folks, Looks like he is following in Trump's footsteps: Four years later, as Vance considered a career in GOP politics, he asked a former college professor to delete the article. JD Vance got a former professor to delete a blog post he wrote in 2012 attacking GOP over anti-immigrant rhetoric | CNN Politics Not an iota of ethics. Jerry Baumchen

  10. Hi John, When 'Johnny Cannot Read' is just a way to pass them onto the next grade; we are in trouble. As we have been for a very long time. Jerry Baumchen PS) 'What do you mean that my kid is not in the top 10% of his class.'
  11. Hi Bill, Let's see; John Kallend just wrote: What an indictment of our education systems Well, Trump does have a degree from Wharton. Now, that I would consider as an indictment of our education systems . Jerry Baumchen PS) As I have said, Trump is very entertaining.
  12. Hi Joe, As we have 'discussed' before; I am giving Harris $200/mo; + another $400/mo to other local congressional candidates. I hate to acknowledge it, but in this world money talks in politics. Jerry Baumchen

  14. Hi Robert, And, what was it that Walter Matthau threw against the wall in The Odd Couple? Jerry Baumchen

  16. Hi Joe, In 1953, when Stalin died, Beria made an attempt [ somewhat of a coup ] to grab power. Kruschev and a few others got to him first. He ended up being shot in the dungeons of the Kremlin. Jerry Baumchen PS) Kremlin is Russian for prison.

  20. Hi Joe, Re: If it burns the Republican party, in it's current form all the way to the ground, that would NOT be a 'bad thing', IMO. Just maybe, there is hope on the horizon: The endorsements crystalized the remarkable evolution of the Republican Party’s establishment wing Establishment Republicans are backing Harris for president. Will it matter? - oregonlive.com I look forward to the day that the GOP becomes what it once was, a political party that I belonged to for 40 yrs. Jerry Baumchen
