    Hi Ken, A am very sure that he is both. He definitely does like the attention. While am a, for sure no medical expert, I think that he seeks the attention due to what he perceives, personally, as his own short-comings as person. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Ken, It looks Mexico & you guys called his bluff. It seems that he has agreed to 'pause' the tariffs on Mexico & Canada: Trump puts Mexico and Canada tariffs on hold : NPR IMO it makes him look like what he is: A paper tiger. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Ken, And, people should remember that during his campaign, Trump said that there were parts of it he liked. I think he meant the 99 44/100% parts. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Keith, I think it is just a pause in the effort. I think they will be back with Plan B. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, As I continue to say: Aren't you glad you voted for Trump. In Oregon, at least, rates of Medicaid enrollment are highest in Trump strongholds. In Oregon, Trump’s Base Would Suffer Most From Medicaid Cuts Jerry Baumchen

    Hi 422, I do not have any current info for Al. The last time I saw him was in 2009 at the memorial for Gary Douris at Elsinore. Al was seriously injured in a POPS event a few yrs earlier, on the east coast, and I think that he never jumped again. Best of luck in finding him, Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Nigel, Re: has been pretty hard hit by it all That's nothing; wait until RFK Jr gets into office. IMO the only person crazier than him is Trump himself. Jerry Baumchen PS) Trump 2.0 - where insanity rules.

    Hi folks, One has to wonder just how happy those union members are now: "These moves will make it easier for bosses to violate the law and trample on workers' legal rights on the job and fundamental freedom to organize," Trump fires NLRB Democrats Wilcox and Abruzzo : NPR Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, Looks like buyer's remorse: The Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), which endorsed Trump in September 2024, and the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) warned that the blanket clemency offered to rioters – including those convicted of violent offenses, and several leaders of the attack on the Capitol – threatened Americans’ safety.

    Hi dudeman, I read anything that I link to. Must have blown that part into the back of my mind when giving Tim Burchett my attention. Jerry Baumchen PS) Let me add that I usually cannot tell you every detail once I have finished. If something is really technical & worth a fair amount of my time, I usually will read it 2-3 times.

    Hi dudeman I have never heard of any such thing. Got some link, etc so we can see what is what? Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Keith, Who's to say they don't? Jerry Baumchen PS) Lots to talk about with this one.

    Hi folks, Talk about dumb, can't get much better than this: Tim Burchett says he believes aliens have underwater bases on earth Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Nigel, I have to agree. With both houses of the legislature, he could do some really good things. But, IMO it is going to be a wasted 4 yrs. Maybe the 3rd-4th yrs will be the interesting ones if he loses the House & Senate at the mid-terms. That would be some fireworks to watch. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Kieth, IMO it would have to be an independently-minded AG; not Ms. Bondi. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Wendy, Then there is this: Jerry Baumchen PS) Just watched 'Join or Die,' quite interesting. Don't agree with a lot of it; but, at least he tries.

    Hi Keith, I could not agree more. However [ IMO ], it all goes back to Gingrich and his 'My way or the hiway," approach to politics. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Nigel, Well, why not? Trump cannot understand anything in it. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Ian, It looks like the Get-Go is on the really slow side. Hopefully, more people will find the new site & get it going. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi Keith, If only. I do agree with absolutely everything in your post. Jerry Baumchen

    And yet, with three days to go in Biden’s presidency, here we are. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/01/17/biden-declares-there-is-now-28th-amendment-there-is-not/ Hi Keith, Thanks for that extensive & informative post. You will note that the title of this thread is a question. IMO it will eventually go into the courts for a decision. And, as to when that might happen depends somewhat whether Trump supports it or not. Historically, the GOP has been against the ERA. One example: Joan Williams argues, "ERA was defeated when Schlafly turned it into a war among women over gender roles." Phyllis Schlafly - Wikipedia Time will tell; take care, Jerry Baumchen

    Hi D, To me, it is not an either or. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, “It is long past time to recognize the will of the American people,” [ Biden ] added. “In keeping with my oath and duty to Constitution and country, I affirm what I believe and what three-fourths of the states have ratified: the 28th Amendment is the law of the land, guaranteeing all Americans equal rights and protections under the law regardless of their sex.” Joe Biden says Equal Rights Amendment part of Constitution It will be interesting to see what happens now. Jerry Baumchen PS) I support it.
