    Hi Bill, Since we are going to be facetious, if the gov't does not take every penny I have, am I getting a subsidy? Jerry Baumchen PS) This place is starting to be fun.

    Hi Wendy, Re: (“if it bleeds it leads”) That was for when we all had newspapers delivered to our front doors. Today, on the local tv news, it is: BREAKING NEWS About 9 out of 10 local tv broadcasts in my area begin with it. About a week or so ago, my local 5 PM tv newscast had a BREAKING NEWS story that had appeared on another channel two days before. But, it was BREAKING NEWS now. It's all about making the sale(s).

    Hi Keith, About my only memory is that just about everything that was attempted was a disaster. * Care to expand on that worked phenomenally? Jerry Baumchen * IMO it was one of those things in life I am glad that I did not experience; as are so many.

    Hi Joe, This is a great book: A Civil Action is a 1995 non-fiction book by Jonathan Harr about a water contamination case in Woburn, Massachusetts, in the 1980s. A Civil Action - Wikipedia If you have not read it, I do recommend it. It also was made into a very good movie. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, The Oregon legislature is considering a bill to provide $1,000/month/person for a 2-yr period as a Basic Income to people in need. Bill sparks debate on a guaranteed income program for Oregon - OPB My concern is that it could lead to more drug overdoses [ they now would have more money to buy drugs ] and it could lead to a lot more people coming to Oregon to get on the money bandwagon. I am interested in what people think about this; and, especially, those of you outside of the USA. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Once again, the R's are the family values party: * the girlfriend of her 17-year-old son, Tyler, is due next month. Boebert praises high rural teen birth rates while announcing first grandchild | The Hill Jerry Baumchen * Yes, I know that the D's do it also.

    Hi Joe, That idiot Trump is his own worst enemy. He just cannot shut up. * Jerry Baumchen * When my son was doing criminal defense work, he would constantly tell me how could not get his clients to just keep their mouths shut.

    Hi Robert, And, his cowtowing to Kim at the DMZ. Jerry Baumchen PS) Trump has always said he likes strong leaders. Even though, he is not one.

    Hi Bill, It worked quite well in the '30's in Germany. It is working today. It will work in the future. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Keith, Both parties would disagree with your premise bolded above. It is a subjective statement. As I have posted many times on here, the first time I voted for POTUS was in '64 & the choices were LBJ or Goldwater. Then & now, the choices are almost always the lesser of two evils. * I do not see that changing. Jerry Baumchen * I did not want Joe Biden to get the nomination in 2020.

    Hi Keith, So, I would guess that they would not be voting for Trump or DeSantis, if they could vote. Hopefully, they will be a good influence on their parents. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Rob, I am no political expert but I say when Newt Gingrich became Speaker with his 'My way or the HiWay' politics. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Wendy, That same philosophy instructor said that man created God because of his fear of the unknown. Mankind wants something to hang onto. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Winsor, One of my philosophy instructors in college once said, 'If God did not exist, man would create him.' Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Well, this one will not be doing so: Proud Boy 'Tiny' Toese found guilty on assault, riot, unlawful weapon charges - OPB Jerry Baumchen

    Hi John, Re: It really is none of their business. * I bet they make this their business: Bisexuals are the ‘invisible majority’ in LGBTQ America | The Hill Jerry Baumchen * I could not agree more.

    Hi folks, Looks like someone has not forgotten him: The Department of Justice (DOJ) declined to back former President Trump’s position that he should be immune from civil suits DOJ argues Trump should not face immunity in Jan. 6 civil suits | The Hill To the DOJ: Well done Jerry Baumchen PS) This should be his official portrait:

    Hi Coreece, Re: . . . sin . . . It would appear to me that you are a Christian. What do you define as 'sin?' Feel free to quote from any source. Just wondering. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Joe, Re: Never once have I been in court or sat for a deposition and wished I'd brought my plumber instead. Perfect. Jerry Baumchen
