    Hi folks, This should scare every one of us: Trump administration . . . plans to set up a 600-person National Guard “quick reaction force” Trump administration considers quick reaction force for protests IMO it a first step in controlling the US population. All he has to do is declare any city as unruly & send in the military. As I keep saying: Shades of the Third Reich. What's next; martial law in this country? Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Joe, One thing is for sure; Trump will not do a damn thing for anybody unless he got something in exchange for it. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, The new guys says: There are better ways to collect, process, and disseminate data Trump Administration Considers Longtime Critic to Lead Bureau of Labor Statistics Translated: 'I will put out the numbers that Trump wants.' Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Wendy, Re: I’m not perfect yet IMO anyone who says they are, needs to be watched closely. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Joe, And, there is nothing more American Flag than saying women should not have the vote. What say you, Wendy? Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Joe, IMO the problem with any representative of Trump is that you never know what Trump's position on anything is at anytime. Sort of makes it tough to represent him. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, I guess that the GOP does not like an even playing field: Blue-state Republicans . . . are sounding the alarm Blue-state Republicans sound alarm on redistricting battle And, here I thought fair was fair. Wow, was I ever wrong. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Wonder how much he supports Trump now: Roland Mehrez Beainy, a co-owner of Trump Burger in Texas, is facing deportation. Trump Burger co-owner faces ICE deportation Maybe Trump did not like his burgers. The craziness continues. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Joe, Or as SSGT Don A. Willocks said to us, in Basic Training back in 1960, and which I have never forgotten: 'If you do not like the rules, don't play the game.' Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Nigel, Once Trump can control The Fourth Estate [ which now includes our electronic devices ], he can control info like this: Less than five years after urging rioters to "kill" police at the Capitol, a former Jan. 6 defendant is working as a senior adviser for the Department of Justice Former Jan. 6 defendant who called cops 'Nazis' gets DOJ job : NPR This is why he is pulling the money out of any version of The Fourth Estate; i.e., Public Broadcasting. The truth hurts. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, WOW - it looks like even the red states are having Buyer's Remorse: a group called Mad Voters held events with speakers nearby where Vance's visit was jeered loudly. JD Vance loudly booed in ruby red state: video IMO when the people in Indiana are not happy with being MAGA-people, something is Wrong in River City. We do live in interesting times. Jerry Baumchen PS) Hmm, wonder what he wants them to buy: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to allow 401(k) investors to access alternative assets for better returns and diversification. Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump Democratizes Access to Alternative Assets for 401(k) Investors – The White House Once a con man, always a con man.

    Hi folks, Add at least one more crazy to the MAGA-lot: [Trump] simply understands the political value of weaponized religion. We better hope that this idiot never makes anymore 'progress:' The Cross and the Crown: How Christian Theocracy Threatens American Democracy One thing is for sure; Trump loves to be at the front of a parade. These are not times for good people to be silent: SPEAK UP Jerry Baumchen

    Hi to all the veterans who did not vote for Harris, Aren't you glad that you didn't: The U.S. Air Force said Thursday it would deny all transgender service members who have served between 15 and 18 years the option to retire early and would instead separate them without retirement benefits. Trump's Air Force denies retirement pay to ex-trans service members | AP News Talk about being stabbed in the back. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, I do not think it is just Canada: Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Thursday that President Trump is probably the most disliked politician in Canada Ford: Trump most disliked politician in Canada Anywhere else? Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, More MAGA-forked tongue: Bentz was outspoken about reining in government spending Oregon representative outspent every U.S. House member on Trump inauguration weekend - oregonlive.com Looks to me like there is no limit on spending money for Trump; but, for you & me, NADA. They only care about themselves. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Wendy, 'But, yeah' is absolutely correct. Trump is slowly, but surely beginning to control the media. This, along with the other dark web sites, is what can sink democracy in this country. I have been saying for years, that things are similar to the Third Reich in the 30's. The Nazi's first came for the Communists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak for me. Rev. Martin Niemoeller Jerry Baumchen PS) Bill, keep speaking up; we need to hear this stuff.

    Hi John, Not at all; they are merely tossed out of the dorms. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Joe, I'm with you. However, I would also add that they would have to obey any rules 100%, no exceptions; maybe with one pass on any rules violation. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Looks like they might not be glad: “So here’s a question,” Flood said in response to the crowd. “Do you think that people who are 28 years old that can work and refuse to work should get free healthcare?” Attendees replied with cheers and shouts of “yes.” Rep. Mike Flood booed over Medicaid cuts during town hall Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Phil, Re: He believes that everyone will betray him eventually. I think you might be very correct. But then again, why would he not think that when he has betrayed almost everyone he has ever met. I think the ultimate irony would be if Vance and his cabinet invoked the 25th & gave him the boot. If only, Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Phil, Trump can hire/fire as he chooses. However, history tells us that people vote with their pocketbook. As Bill Clinton said: It's the economy. When there are no jobs, people will vote Trump [ and, hopefully, his supporters in Congress ] out; no matter what he tells them. Only 15 more months to go. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi John, A link with no firewall: Corporation for Public Broadcasting to Shut Down After Trump-Backed Funding Cuts Jerry Baumchen PS) And, let me add: "Despite the extraordinary efforts of millions of Americans who called, wrote and petitioned Congress to preserve federal funding for CPB, we now face the difficult reality of closing our operations," CPB President and CEO Patricia Harrison said in a statement. Anybody who wrote or called a GOP CongressCritter was wasting their time. It all falls on deaf ears with their fealty to Trump.

    Hi folks, If he thinks changing the messenger will change the message, he is delusional: President Trump is firing the commissioner in charge of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), which handles the monthly jobs report, after a bad report showing the economy in trouble was released on Friday. Live updates: July jobs report raises concerns over US economy Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Birds of a feather flock together. Some how, I think he donated more than indicated: Wiederhorn had donated money to Trump and Republican political campaign committees, but the donations amounted to less than $20,000 in 2023 and 2024, according to political finance records. He and his wife appear to have attended a Trump inaugural ball in January Trump admin’s DOJ appointee to drop financial-crime charges against onetime Portland executive - oregonlive.com Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Bill, I just finished reading this: Original Sin (Tapper and Thompson book) - Wikipedia Is there an opening for Biden there? Jerry Baumchen PS) If you are an American politics junkie, you should give it a look. PPS) And, the cover-up continues: Steve Ricchetti, who was a top adviser to former President Biden and considered to be in his inner circle, said Biden was “fully capable of exercising his presidential duties” Top Biden aide Steve Ricchetti tells GOP panel ex-president was ‘fully capable’
