Hi Nigel, I've been there twice. Primarily, because my best friend emigrated there back in 71. IMO very friendly people. Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, It was important 250 yrs ago; and, is important today: Patrick Henry's 'liberty or death' speech turns 250 | AP News Jerry Baumchen

Hi dogyks, Re: You want an anchor baby? Get a visa and show up legally. Sorry, that is not the law here. Per Wendy: It doesn’t consist of the president saying “that sucks.” Jerry Baumchen

Hi Ken, Re: the right wing is on a campaign against empathy When we elect a POTUS that shows absolutely no empathy, this is what we get. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Keith, I read both of your links. Without doing a word-for-word comparison, it seems to me that they both say the same thing; the same as what Ken posted. IMO damn poor treatment for anyone. Once again: However, how would you feel if anyone in your family, or you, were treated as the Canadian woman was treated by this country, for a simple infringement. Looks to me that Melania is a bigger criminal. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Keith, To paraphrase Joe, enlighten us. Jerry Baumchen PS) Ken's post was a long read; but, well worth it.

Hi Keith, I agree that every person, when in another country, should keep track of the rules. However, how would you feel if anyone in your family, or you, were treated as the Canadian woman was treated by this country, for a simple infringement. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Bill, Re: But there's a bit of a difference now. Yup, it is all about the enforcement. Things have substantially changed in the last two months. Jerry Baumchen

Hi John, Done. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, Re: illiteracy and ignorance are not virtues, they are embarrassments to all except the illiterate and ignorant You could not be more correct. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Rich, You continue to substantiate my observation. Jerry Baumchen

Hi John, If I were a non-US citizen, I would not travel here unless absolutely necessary. At this time, it is just too risky. Jerry Baumchen PS) Ken, I feel sorry for your countrywoman, no one should be treated that way. It is barbaric.

Hi Rich, Re: I break a few of my own rules in debate Based upon your posts here, you have not a clue as to what a debate is. Jerry Baumchen

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

Hi Bill, As I continue to say: It is all well & good until it is your ox getting gored. The Jews in Germany, in the 30's, thought that they would be OK. Jerry Baumchen The Nazi's first came for the Communists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak for me. Rev. Martin Niemoeller

Hi Nigel, IMO you are wrong. Jerry Baumchen

Hi David, Just curious; who said that they were 'surprised?' Jerry Baumchen

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.

Hi folks, Looks to me like the GOP is afraid of most of us: It plays right into Democrats’ hands; they want to talk about Social Security cuts, Medicare cuts, Medicaid cuts. We don’t. Republicans want Elon Musk to shut up about Social Security Well, come Nov 2026 we will see just what most Americans think of all of this. Jerry Baumchen -
Hi folks, Sometimes you just get lucky: He broke his hand on the tail section and his parachute failed to open, with the chute catching on the branches of a tree. John Hemingway: Last surviving Battle of Britain pilot dies aged 105 Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, Looks like Buyer's Remorse is spreading: North Dakota went big for Trump. Now many farmers say they face an uncertain future : NPR Jerry Baumchen -
Hi folks, IMO we need to do more of this: "People are livid with the takeover by Trump and are not going to be quiet about it." Vice President JD Vance booed at The Kennedy Center : NPR And the BS about diversity is just that, bullshit. Diversity in Trump 2.0; now, that is a true dichotomy. Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, Brought to you by the MAGA World: the [ school ] district told the Statesman [ newspaper ] that it was not the message that was at issue, but rather the hands of different skin tones on the poster. NW teacher refuses to remove these particular signs from classroom, as ordered - oregonlive.com Bullshit like this is why I refuse to be silent. Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, People should not ignore orders from the bench: Ezell, the OPM acting director, did not appear to testify in court or even sit for a deposition. Trump must rehire fired federal employees immediately, judge says - oregonlive.com I think we all knew this was coming; along with many other bench decisions. Let's see how 'King Donald' acts.
