    Hi folks, Once again, the Catholic Church shows us just how much they really care about people: San Francisco archdiocese ‘very likely’ to file for bankruptcy over child sex abuse claims - oregonlive.com Jerry Baumchen

    Hi John, I had an uncle that once said, 'Some people would complain if they hung them with a new rope.' He will probably complain that the new orange jumpsuit does not go with his hair. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi 1960, I know very little about them. For a while, there was a single keel on the dz I jumped at. It is my understanding that the double-keels came down a lot slower. It is a long shot but try to find one if you can. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi John, As I continue to say: He is his own worst enemy. IMO that is a good thing for the rest of us. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, An interesting commentary; will take a few minutes to read: Struggling to survive on the Oregon Coast: Steve Duin column - oregonlive.com Angela Benton puts it well: “Nature has a way of finding the balance.” You and I have a way of screwing that up. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Joe, The crux of your link: And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. Putin, anyone? Jerry Baumchen

    Hi John, I guess that I am not a lone voice in the wilderness, then. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Joe, I have long believed that mankind is his own worst enemy. New Six-Part Documentary Series HUMAN FOOTPRINT Examines How Humans Have Transformed the Planet (pbs.org) Jerry Baumchen PS) The Limits to Growth - Wikipedia

    Hi John, I am just a guy who has always been concerned about the over-population of our planet. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Joe, This is the big IF. If we could just let the population decrease by having less offspring, not so bad. If we actually get to starving, not so good. Stalin starved millions in Ukraine in the '30's. One reason [ not the only ] World War I ended was when the Allies blockaded the German ports so they could not import food. People were falling over dead in Berlin due to starvation. Lots of IFs. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Phil, IMO if we do not get this thing turned around, there is going to be mass starvation on this planet. Now, that might be a good thing. Getting rid of about 65% of the human population might bring us to some type of sustaining balance. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Tanya, Show me the day that Trump does not lie & I'll show you an anomaly. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Tanya, Being quite a bit older than you, I am just not a podcast type of person. If there is a transcript, I would like to read it. Re: It's scary how much we collectively have forgotten I am consistently astounded by this. However, as George Santana said: Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, I'm watching a NBC News Special Report on tv. Interestingly, I do not see even one Trump supporter in the crowd outside of the courtroom. Up next, apparently, is a hearing on 28 Aug. Get out the popcorn, Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Mark, More: Trump Arraignment: Ex-President In Custody For Jan. 6 Charges—As Jack Smith Enters Courtroom (msn.com) Big Number - 78. That’s the number of felony charges filed against Trump since he announced his third run for president in November. We, the people, only to need to win one of them. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Looks like Bill Barr is putting another nail into the Trump coffin: "But that does not protect you from entering into a conspiracy." Bill Barr says Donald Trump 'knew well he lost the election' - BBC News Additionally: By saying his former boss knew he had lost the election, Mr Barr is undermining another plank of Mr Trump's defence which is that he was not defrauding the American people because he always believed he had won. Looks to me like the prosecutor has a lot of ammo to bomb any defense Trump might present. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Mark, Makes Watergate look like a playground dustup. For anyone with a strong interest in American history, this is great time to grab the popcorn and stay tuned. The next 4-6 yrs are going to be very interesting; if not defining. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Rob, TSO C23(c) came out in 1984; not sure of the actual date of when it became effective. The Jav was originally TSO'd under 23(c). Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Mark, I miss him also. He was just a great guy. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Looks to me that they will need some more gas in the tank to 'extinguish' anybody: It shouldn’t surprise anybody that real people . . . don’t want to invest in these clowns 'Everything has fallen off a cliff': Battleground state GOPs nosedive in Trump era - POLITICO There was a time when we actually had a 2-party system here; not so much anymore. Why am I not crying? Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Hey, lawyers have to eat also: As Mr Trump's legal battles intensify, the bills will only keep rising. Pro-Donald Trump group spends more than $40m on legal fees - BBC News If nothing else, it helps keep the economy going. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Joe, 'A fool and his money are soon parted.' That saying is far, far older than I am. And, how true. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Phil, This is what an education can do for you. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Bill, There is a house just down the street from me. I drive by it almost every day. About a yr or so ago, he hung a flag on his fence [ can't miss it when you drive by ] that said something about stopping socialism. Hm, OK, wonder what he feels about the police and fire dep'ts? Then about 8-9 months ago, he hung another flag on his fence: Trump 2024 Well, that is beginning to define him. Now, both flags are gone. Looks like some neighbors may have had a 'talk' with him. Me, I just thought he was another idiot. However, I not once asked him to take down either flag. Jerry Baumchen
