WWJMD What would John McCain do? Unknowable, but possibly predictable. First not be in this situation. But if the situation happened, frontline troops would be supported. Not ballrooms. Shame on 47.

Ten years post-Brexit, it is striking to see the parallels between Boris Johnson and the current resident of the White House. If BOJO had nuclear weapons and Stephen Miller, would he still be in charge?

I think Prime Minister Starmer tried, like Pres. Biden to follow laws and not destroy. Like Pres. Biden, he came across as weak. I think his last act should be to ask Parliament to immediately schedule a national vote on reversing Brexit. Then his successor can lead the negotiations.

I miss President Joe Biden and Dr. Jill. It's not just about gas prices. It is about corruption, decency and a President who addresses his FELLOW citizens in times of tragedy. It is about consulting Congress and believing that a roof is important but a gold roof is not.

The Revolutionary War, the war of 1812, the Civil War, World War I, World War II, Vietnam, 911, Afghanistan, 47. Which is the greatest threat to the United States of America? This may be my last post.

Let us be clear. All these recently-built giant warehouses that the towns believed would be shipping centers for distribution of goods, have now been taken over by the government. They are being called 'Detention Centers". That is incorrect. They are Concentration Camps.

If Michael Smerconish's argument that "madness is the method" for the current president, is this a confirmation that while secretly rational, he is a deceptive criminal?

I am an idiot. I apologize to Poland for my previous post. (Not that anyone will notice.) I meant to say RIHTO (Russia, Israel, Hungary Treaty Organization).

Apparently, we no longer have a foreign policy. Now we have market manipulation for the benefit of insiders and online gamblers. I wonder if the market will ever come to the point where it just no longer reacts?
April 9, 2026 at 12:18 PM
Forgive the personal expression. It seems to help. A little.

So, we no longer "need" NATO. Now we have...RIPTO (Russian, Israel, Poland Treaty Organization). Oops.

Before we allow a single further structure to be built to honor the current president, I urge we heed the advice of Viktor Frankel, student of Freud and survivor of the Holocaust. He advised that we match the Statue of Liberty on the East Coast with a Statue of Responsibility on the West coast.

Later, a DNA test refuted the idea of Jewish ancestry, but I keep my respect and honor the history of Judaism. Having said that, I do not mindlessly support Israeli actions that are a separate issue. If our country's foreign policy in Iran is being directed by Netanyahu, I object.

In my late teens I was told that I had Jewish ancestors (I grew up in a Protestant family, but not one that was fervent . I was surprised but began studying what I could about Hebrew culture. I was moved by the ideas of sticking together, education and especially the Holocaust.

The plump, bearded angry individual who spray Representative Ilan Omar certainly looked like an ICE agent.....

Pride, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Lechery, Avarice and Gluttony. Remind you of anyone? Well, actually we all have a little bit. But one person insists on being the declared "greatest". So, okay; this is the PEWSLAG presidency. (from Evagrius Ponticus, etc.)

Here's an idea: send ICE to Iran.
January 14, 2026 at 1:21 PM
If the ICE agent had a "Frank Reagan" moment of grace and let Renee Good drive away, what would have happened? She would have been arrested in two blocks?

I respectfully nominate Senator Mark Kelly as a candidate for US President in 2028. What an incredible improvement.

Happy holiday to all. This is my first tiptoe into the world of social media. As an older American who has become increasingly isolated, I am trying to reach out to a larger world. There are some things I want to say out loud in public; not so much as with a megaphone, but quietly and politely.
