    Hi jakee, Back in 1964 ( I think it was then ), due to crap like this, the military took over ( a coup ) and ran the country until about the late 80's ( I think it was then ). Could happen again. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, A little more info on this subject: Ringleader of Trump-aligned election officials nears Nevada takeover - POLITICO He has called for eliminating mail voting, curtailing early voting and pushing for hand counts of ballots — despite evidence that the practice is more error-prone than using machines — and could generally make it more difficult to vote in the state. And, back in 2020, Michael Flynn wanted the military to confiscate all election ballot counting machines. Looks like they are trying to get there one way or the other. The people of this country must step & vote so these things do not happen. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, I probably should stay out of this one; but, we all know how it is. There is a lot of 'art' that I think is garbage. Others think differently. So what!!!!!!! We are all individuals with our own likes, dislikes, etc. I have never told anyone that I think his wife is ugly. Jerry Baumchen PS) My all-time favorite painting is Twilight in the Wilderness: Twilight in the Wilderness - Wikipedia The original is in the Cleveland Museum of Art, in Cleveland, OH; I have seen it there. A copy of it hangs over the fireplace in my Family Room.

    Hi John, I am 82 yrs old. I have travelled in Asia, South America, Europe [ including some eastern European countries ], Mexico, Canada & 44 of the US states. I have never needed a gun, or any other type of weapon, to protect myself. It is clearly phooey! for anyone that looks into it. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Bill, Then why are you quoting from what Pres. Biden said in 2021? Either you are 'focused on the current world' or you are not. You cannot have it both ways. Jerry Baumchen PS) Re: Trump is gone If only.

    Hi Bill, IMO the bigger problem is how widespread it is. They see what they want to see. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Bill, In 1966, the Bureau of Land Management had preliminary drawings of a large pipeline to carry water from the mouth of the Columbia River to southern California. Who knows, they might still have them. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, The 2nd Amendment people are going to love this mod: Handguns converted to high-capacity machine guns fuel deadly violence in Chicago : NPR The firearm used was a Glock 19 handgun that had been converted to an illegal high-capacity machine gun with a device known as an auto sear, a square device about the size of a thumbnail. It's known on the street as a "switch" that turns the gun from a semi-automatic to an automatic weapon. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, On the surface, it would look like this idiot has not forgotten Trump: ‘Where is Nancy?’: Pelosi home invader was searching for speaker - POLITICO And, of course this other idiot is causing even more problems: ‘Raise the challenge’: Eastman exhorts poll watchers to build a record - POLITICO If they do not find any errors, will they just make some up? IMO the short-term future for this country is not looking so good. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Bill, IMO that is part of the solution. One other part is 'education' for men. Vasectomies work really well. Ask me how I know. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Wendy, That reminds me of a story that I read back in 1963. About 1961-1962, a Brit was driving his Rolls-Royce in France when he suffered a broken axle. He called back to Rolls & told them about his predicament. The next day a fellow showed up, put on some overalls, got out his tools & a new axle. A few hours later, the Brit was back on the road again. It was all fixed and no charges to the owner. After he returned home, he wrote a letter to Rolls thanking them about their tremendous service in a foreign country. Rolls wrote back that no Rolls-Royce in any part of the world had ever experienced a broken axle. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Joe, You are in the ball park. In this book, the author's say that the life-span of Earth is 12 billion years and that we have used up 4 1/2 billion of those years: The Life and Death of Planet Earth: How the New Science of Astrobiology Charts the Ultimate Fate of Our World: Ward, Peter: 9780805075120: Amazon.com: Books I found this book to be a very interesting read; it is not a dry, scientific tome.
