Hi folks, I thought this was a nice story: Manette Baillie, 102, sets a skydiving record in the United Kingdom : NPR Jerry Baumchen

Hi airdvr, 60 yrs ago I voted for Pres for the first time. I have NEVER had two good choices. I simply voted for the best candidate. How you and/or I see them is totally subjective. Jerry Baumchen PS) Since you seem to not like either candidate; what have you done to get some other person[s] on the ballot?

Hi Ken, I am very sure that it requires one to be born in this country. That is why the John McCain birth location was an issue; for a while. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Wendy, Neither did I. Somebody is full of it. Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, You do not get more two-faced than this: Donald Trump visits Arlington Cemetery for Afghanistan withdrawal anniversary (thehill.com) A total scam artist. Yet, his idiots lap it up. Weird. Jerry Baumchen PS) Hey, airdvr; I'll put this article up against your recent Harris YouTube video & call you.

Hi winsor, Re: Trump, since there is no way he can run in 2028 I cannot understand why you say that. He would be eligible. The only thing limiting anyone is they must be 35 or older & can only serve a total of 10 yrs. Jerry Baumchen PS) They also have to have been born in this country; with a couple of very unique exceptions: John McCain was born in the Canal Zone in Panama.

Hi airdvr, Let me see if I have this correct: You think a random YouTube is going to derail her quest for the Presidency? Why don't you just say what you really mean: You are a Trump supporter without the guts to say it out loud. Now, how about those YouTubes on Trump . . . Jerry Baumchen

Hi Rob, Re: The United States Postal Service routinely moves military veterans to the front of the line when hiring. All federal agencies do this. It is one of the benefits of serving. Re: Marine Corps veteran Gary Douris told me that even before he got shot at in Vietnam Gary got shot up a whole bunch and spent a goodly amount of time in a military hospital in Hawaii. Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, IMO birds of a feather: the independent presidential candidate is “kind of a looney tune.” Scott Jennings warns Trump about joining forces with 'looney tune' RFK Jr (thehill.com) Jerry Baumchen

Hi Tk, While I may be wrong, this is my take exactly. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, In other words: If you are not exactly like me, then Fuck You. Sure, that always works. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Stumpy. I am not sure I really understand your question. In the USA, there are three branches of gov't: - The Legislative Branch which is the US Senate & the US House of Reps - the Executive Branch which is the President - the Judicial Branch which is the US Supreme Court As to the length of terms of Reps, Senators & Pres, that is in our Constitution. Anything else? Jerry Baumchen PS) Reps - two yrs at a time, unlimited number of terms Senators - 6 yrs at a time, unlimited number of terms Pres - no more than 10 yrs in office

Hi Joe, Remind you of anyone? Jerry Baumchen

Hi Winsor, Re: Harris is possibly the most singularity incompetent candidate for the Presidency ever. I do not know how long you have been voting, but that is a ridiculous statement. I first voted for Pres in Nov '64; some good candidates, some not so good, and some poor. Jerry Baumchen PS) Or, is it that you just like to stir the pot?

Hi folks, Looks like panic is starting to set in: President Trump shared a fake photo of Vice President Harris speaking at a communist event in Chicago Donald Trump falsely portrays Kamala Harris as communist, shares fake photo (thehill.com) It should be fun watching this idiot go nutz in the next 88 days. Jerry Baumchen PS) A question: Does anyone think his MAGA idiots will actually believe this one?

Hi folks, Looks like the DA is thinking that Trump will lose the election; then, he belongs to them: on Monday, Manhattan prosecutors signaled that as the time draws near, they are not in fact opposed to delaying sentencing as Trump has recently requested. Manhattan DA scoffs at 'bizarre' Trump arguments to delay hush-money sentencing beyond 2024 election but won't stand in the way (msn.com) Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, Looks like more of the GOP are seeing the light: saying she’s the only major candidate who “can claim the mantle of defender and protector of America’s Democracy, the Constitution, and the Rule of Law. Conservative former Judge J. Michael Luttig endorses Kamala Harris (thehill.com) I understand that some members of the GOP will speak at this week's DNC. And, Trump thinks he is popular. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Nigel, To be fair, I am sure that Trump would have taken that girl in also. Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, Ya gotta luv this one: Jerry Baumchen

Hi John, While I know it might be just a pipe dream, my hope is that she wins by a bigger margin than Biden did. Then, maybe then, the GOP will get its collective head out of it's ass & get back to being the Grand Old Party of yesteryear. Jerry Baumchen A 40-yr former member of the GOP.

Hi Joe, Re: the media is a damn joke across the spectrum who are only interested in gotcha's and eyeballs. I could not agree anymore. This along with BREAKING NEWS, the media has become a joke in this country. For some real insight, just take 30 minutes & watch WASHINGTON WEEK. I try to watch it every week. Much better than the 'gotchas.' Jerry Baumchen

Hi Nigel, Now, compare that short interview with what Trump would have said in the same situation. This vote in Nov is a no-brainer to me. Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, He continues to be his own worst enemy: another rally, same old show. Trump digs in on personal attacks against Harris: 'I'm a better looking person' (thehill.com) He should run on a platform that he is the most consistent candidate. What a fucking idiot. Jerry Baumchen PS) And, then there is this jewel: “Has anyone noticed that Kamala CHEATED at the airport? There was nobody at the plane, and she ‘A.I.’d’ it, and showed a massive ‘crowd’ of so-called followers, BUT THEY DIDN’T EXIST! She was turned in by a maintenance worker at the airport when he noticed the fake crowd picture, but there was nobody there, later confirmed by the reflection of the mirror like finish on the Vice Presidential Plane.” “She’s a CHEATER. She had NOBODY waiting, and the ‘crowd’ looked like 10,000 people! Same thing is happening with her fake ‘crowds’ at her speeches,” Trump added. “She should be disqualified because the creation of a fake image is ELECTION INTERFERENCE. Anyone who does that will cheat at ANYTHING!”

Hi Joe, This is what bugs me about some people. They know that they want Trump to be Pres. Yet, they will not state it outright. Cowardly. Jerry Baumchen PS) I'm sure everyone here knows where I stand.

Hi Winsor, Do you ever see the good in anything? Jerry Baumchen
