Hi Daddy, I first drove a car in the summer of 1950; I was 9 yrs old & it was on a farm in North Dakota. I have never taken any type of driving class. Things were different then. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Bill, As if there is something wrong with people actually deciding things for themselves. Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, As I continue to say, he is his own worst enemy: E. Jean Carrollwill . . . be allowed to amend her initial 2019 lawsuit in pursuit of millions more in damages Judge lets E. Jean Carroll add Trump’s post-verdict remarks to defamation case - POLITICO Jerry Baumchen

Hi John, While any car that has a design problem(s) as being discussed; only the Pinto had a designed-in failure. Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, Oh yea, sure they will: House Republicans will get to the bottom of the investigation into Trump. Trump's federal indictment will loom large as Congress returns : NPR Going to be tough getting to the bottom when your own party is against you: Republicans angry with McCarthy over debt deal Republicans angry over McCarthy debt deal block gas stove bills (nbcnews.com) Kevin McCarthy couldn't pour piss out of a boot with the instructions written on the heel.

Hi Seth, My money says that all EV makers will join em. It would take a pretty massive effort to stop the momentum that Tesla, Ford & GM have now created. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Keith, I can offer only my thoughts. It is same way he bullied himself into the middle during the GOP debates in 2015-2016. According to procedure, they were supposed to be standing in alphabetical order. Trump would be off to the right as we viewed things. He would not accept this; and, simply bullied his way into the center. People simply acquiesced to the bully. Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, And, the Trump rats continue to leave the ship: Trump loses two lawyers just hours after 2nd indictment - POLITICO I'm thinking that they value their law careers too much to get tarnished by staying with Trump. As I have posted before: In June 1963 I was standing at the Berlin Wall. At that time, I was very sure that one day it would be gone. I did not expect it in my lifetime. I feel the same way about the GOP & Trump. While I doubt that I will live to see it, I am hopeful that the day will come when the GOP realizes that Trump was a disaster for them & for this country. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Keith, Re: For me; life is sacred. I do not consider a fetus a person; ergo, not a life. Once the child has been born, I want us to support it completely. Re: with all the types of birth control; we should have significantly reduced the number of abortions if not completely eradicate it. IMO with the exception of sterilization of one of the participants [ or both ] or just not do it, no types of birth control are foolproof => /=/ 100%. If they were foolproof, I doubt any of us would be discussing this. Now, back to your regular programming of criticizing Pres. Biden. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Bill, I read about this yesterday. I think this decision(s) by Ford & GM are far bigger than most of us think at this time. This IMO is truly a step in the right direction. Relating to Keith's post, IMO this will become the de-facto standard just as nozzle sizes are now standard. Jerry Baumchen PS) A few months ago, the EU adopted a standard regarding cell phone chargers; much to Apple's chagrin. However, IMO these are the things that must be completed to move the technology forward.

Hi Keith, First, each of us has the right to their opinions; that means you & me at a minimum. You posted this: I am opposed to abortion once there is a fetal heartbeat. I am opposed to abortions being used as birth control when there's 47 types birth control for both men and women. Be responsible. And, until we're able to do that; then it needs to be between a woman and her doctor. I'm not understanding how it needs to be between a woman and her doctor with your previous postings. If it truly it needs to be between a woman and her doctor then, to me, there needs to be no further discussion. Or maybe, I just fail to understand the details of your position. I am a pro-abortion person. I am also a pro-choice person. I am not a pro-life person. To me, it is sort of like ranked-choice voting. And, #3 is something I will leave the ballot blank on. Jerry Baumchen PS) Once I became a thinking person *, I decided that I wanted to make my own choices in life; and, then live with the consequences. * Probably in my late teens.

Hi Ken, That is exactly what I became. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Wendy, I believe that it is called Cherry-Picking. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Robert, Once again, in the words of the late Jackie Gleason: How sweet it is. Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, Oops: Prosecutors consider a target a person for whom there is “substantial evidence linking him or her to the commission of a crime and who, in the judgment of the prosecutor, is a putative defendant.” Trump notified that he is the target of an ongoing criminal investigation - POLITICO Well, he does like being in the spotlight. Jerry Baumchen PS) And, let us not forget that the screw is one of the six basic tools: Simple machine - Wikipedia

Hi Phil, And, just when was the last time anyone has seen Trump riding a bicycle? Hmmm - Who is the more healthy? Jerry Baumchen

Hi Robert, At that point, it wasn't even a choice. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Bill, I'm thinking a Biden/Whitmer ticket would be a great choice to have on the ballot next year. Jerry Baumchen Gretchen Whitmer - Wikipedia

Hi airdvr, And, just what credentials do you have to conclude that? Also, just how much time have you spent with Joe? Horsepuckey at it's finest. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Robert, And, the day he dies, he will be more competent than Trump ever has been. Jerry Baumchen PS) That is the trouble with facts: They are so damn factual.

Hi airdvr, WOW!!!!! IMO choosing Palin was one of the biggest mistakes of modern politics. She was and is a complete loser. And, dumb as a doorknob. Jerry Baumchen PS) I suggest you watch this: Game Change (film) - Wikipedia

Hi Joe, While I doubt that any of us can actually know what Trump thinks; but, I think this might just be his greatest fear. IMO it is the state courts that can do him the most damage, where he can be charged and convicted far faster than in federal court. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Phil, If my federal taxes go up so that we can build more prisons to hold these people; so be it. Jerry Baumchen
