    Hi Wendy, Not all Germans; just the members of the National Socialist German Worker's Party. While small, there was an underground resistance to the Third Reich.

    Hi Joe, Re: he was voted in by a majority for one single reason: too many voters didn't vote for Harris. This, a thousand times this. When we were once again faced with Trump; and, by Nov '24, we knew what he was; why in hell would anyone vote for anyone other than Harris? The old argument that she was not a good choice does not hold water for me. Anyone here think that their spouse is perfect? I thought not. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Keith, Well written - Thank You IMO it is absolutely imperative that we elect non-GOP types next yr; both the House & the Senate [ where we can ]. I truly believe that this is the only way to stop Trump & his cronies. Well, there are a couple of other ways; but, let's not go there. Jerry Baumchen

Jerry Baumchen PS) Wonder what Gov DeSantis says now.

    Hi folks, Looks like Trump & his cronies are trying to control the news: Ellison - the software scion seen sitting next to Trump at UFC 314 Saturday - has spent the past months trying to acquire Paramount for $8billion.

    Hi John, As I have posted numerous times, it is almost always a choice of the lesser of the two evils. I have never & will never vote for a 3rd party candidate -> a wasted vote. And, this last time around, it ensured success for Trump. So, that begs the question: Is that what they really wanted? Jerry Baumchen

    Hi John, My granddaughter is 11 yrs old & in the 5th grade. Back on Pi Day, March 14th, she was in a contest to see who could count the digits in Pi correctly. She won at 42 digits; 2nd place went to a boy at 33 digits. I have hopes for her. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Nigel, Nope: it is astounding the amount of people —from a variety of backgrounds— who are denouncing the very man they just knew would help them prosper. Here's 15 Reasons Why Trump Supporters Now Regret Their Vote Donald Trump’s Voters Were Sold a Lemon and Are Now Having Buyer’s Remorse.

    Hi Keith, Since I have the choice; I'll call it a nothing vote. Jerry Baumchen PS) I have always said that I have almost never voted when one choice was a really good option. Almost always it is the lesser of two evils. C'est la vie.

    Hi folks, And some of us thought that the Constitution gave us freedom of speech: Donald Trump’s White House has a threatening message for anyone who might even be perceived to disagree with the president: Don’t. Or else. Trump’s retribution sends a chilling message to dissenters | CNN Politics Are Concentration Camps next? Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, I am reading quite a bit about Trump's on/off tariffs. First, he imposes very severe tariffs; then he takes them back. Then China retaliates. Then Trump blinks again: Smartphones and computers are exempt from Trump's reciprocal tariffs : NPR Art of the Deal my ass. This idiot has no idea on what he is doing. I notice that he seems to take great pride every time he signs an Executive Order. He reminds me of a two year old with his first crayon. Especially with that goofy smile of his. What a ride, Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Keith, None of us did. And, some of us voted for Kamala Harris so we would not have to face this type of crap; too bad you did not. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, They are the future: The latest poll suggests that Trump’s policies, especially his economic and tariffs stances, may not be registering with young Americans. And: The Republican president, of his own doing, had single-handedly pushed the global economy to the brink of chaos with new tariffs. Poll shows massive shift on Trump among key voting group - oregonlive.com Let's hope that they turn out in force next year. It really is the only way to stop him. Jerry Baumchen
