Bigun is significantly to the right of me (but, I suspect, getting less so). However, he is not a knee-jerk MAGA warrior like some who post here, and his positions are always well thought out even if I disagree with them.

You be nice to Keith, ain't his fault he's all fucked up!

When Canada, the UK, Denmark, Germany, Australia and Finland issue warnings to their citizens about travel to the USA words fail me.

Hi John, I could not have said it better. Keith, you keep right on with what you are doing. You are truly an asset to this place. Jerry Baumchen

What surprises me is the living presidents and vice presidents. get them all in a room and on message.

Substitute: undocumented migrants, folks with work visas, folks with tourist visas, folks with refugee status folks with green cards and you can keep all the rest of the words the same.

Take a look at VoteVets.

I think you may have missed the sarcasm there.

There is nothing wrong that can’t be fixed in the next election or two. Provided they are allowed to happen.

Cause, ya know, Jan 6th was a great template for a demonstration model.

And always watch the horizon.

Hi Kieth, Well, I did that long ago. Just recently I was reading that, here in Oregon, the non-affiliated [ our term for 'independent' ] are in the majority. Far more than either 'major' party. On this we can definitely agree. Jerry Baumchen PS) Now, we just every primary in this country to be an open primary. That'll set those 'major' party folks back.

No worries then. Jan 22 2020: "We have it totally under control. It's one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It's going to be just fine." Jan 24: "China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!” Feb 2: "We pretty much shut it down coming in from China.” Feb 10: "I think the virus is going to be—it’s going to be fine.” Feb 10: "Looks like by April, you know in theory when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away.” Feb 24: "The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA… the Stock Market starting to look very good to me!” Feb 25: "I think that's a problem that’s going to go away… They have studied it.” Feb. 26: “The 15 (cases in the US) within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero.” Feb 27: "It's going to disappear. One day — it's like a miracle — it will disappear." Mar 5: "The United States… has, as of now, only 129 cases… and 11 deaths. We are working very hard to keep these numbers as low as possible!” Mar 6: “I think we’re doing a really good job in this country at keeping it down… a tremendous job at keeping it down.” Mar 7: “You have to be calm. It’ll go away.” Mar 7: "It goes away….It’s going away. We want it to go away with very, very few deaths. Mar 11: "for the vast majority of Americans, the risk is very, very low" And that turned out fine.
