    Hi John, For my entire life, Mississippi has been the most backward state in the union. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi John, One thing about the mid-west, if come you over a slight rise you can see where you will be in 4 hours. My folks are both from SE North Dakota. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Looks like The Donald does not agree: Trump administration halts work on an offshore wind farm : NPR Reminds me of how Hitler wanted Paris burned to the ground as they retreated. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, I am a supporter of alternate energy. I believe it is our only hope once the oil is gone. To combat an energy shortage, Seattle looks to rural Oregon solar farms - oregonlive.com IMO this is what we need more of. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, One step closer to becoming the Third Reich: federal takeover of police forces Donald Trump Jr. calls Portland, Seattle ‘craphole cities,’ hints at federal takeover of police forces - oregonlive.com And, why stop at Seattle & Portland: the other craphole cities of the country Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Trump is nothing but a kid in a playground: Donald Trump to patrol Washington DC streets with police, military amid federal crackdown on crime Think they'll stop for donuts? Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Ken, IMO it is not that Trump is new; it is that he is extreme. He says one thing & does the other; like a true con man. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Phi, All with the prologue that Trump is the greatest Prez ever. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Larry, That'll quiet the naysayers. I'm thinking the clincher to the deal must have been that letter that Melania wrote to Vladi. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, When you have only the best people working for you: Trump-Putin documents left on hotel printer : NPR Will heads roll? Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Phil, One thing for sure; Trump is now definitely the TACO. All mouth, no substance. By, by Nobel. Jerry Baumchen PS) This says it all:

    Hi Tanya, Also, from my experience: You could have a 'lively discussion' with an NCO about an order; but, you did not question an order from an officer. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Joe, Re: voting third party IMO on par with believing in the Easter Bunny & other foolishness. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Phil, In the proverbial words of MJOSparky: 'You cannot fix stupid.' Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Mark, From your link: “ I don’t want to call a national emergency. If I have to, I will,” [ Trump ] said. IMO that is one of the first steps down a VERY slippery slope. And I thought he said he would only be a dictator for one day. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Joe, It takes 34 states. No one in the White House could get that done. Even the great Reagan wanted changes to the 2nd. Nothing has changed. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Phil, Re: Most cops and military know whats right I agree. Re: Most . . . military know whats . . . constitutional. This, I doubt. As Joe said, they will just toss the card in the trash & never give it another thought. I spent 4 yrs as a GI; I doubt that the thinking has evolved much since. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Nigel, Re: your 2nd amendment for this whole situation? For years I have listened to many, many gun nutz who claim that their guns are to keep himself & his family safe from the gov't. I don't give a damn what you have in your gun closet, it is NOT going to be enough when the feds come; which may be closer than ever in my lifetime. Jerry Baumchen PS) Just been reading about how Trump is pestering the heads of numerous countries to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize. One can only hope that common sense prevails.

    Hi Keith, Re: service members must obey lawful orders and disobey unlawful orders. Unlawful orders are those that clearly violate the U.S. Constitution, international human rights standards AND/OR the Geneva Conventions. I well remember that is what we were told. However, IMO 99 44/100% of service members simply do not know just what those are. How many Gi's have you known who knew what was in the U.S. Constitution, international human rights standards AND/OR the Geneva Conventions. Jerry Baumchen PS) Let me add, that I served when Ike & JFK were in office. Nothing like the crazy that is there now.

    Hi Phil, Or, as First Sgt Milt Warden says: 'I hate officers.' Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, More regret: LaMalfa’s opening remarks were greeted with expletive-laden shrieks and boos GOP Rep. Doug LaMalfa confronted by upset crowd at California town halls Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Joe, One way to deal with a problem is to fix what is in front of you. The other is to figure why you have a problem in the first place. IMO one is way better than the other. But, that is the engineer in me. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Joe, Ah, therein lies the question: Dietrich Bonhoeffer - Wikipedia Back in the '50's there was a lot of: Better red than dead. Jerry Baumchen
