    Hi Joe, I'm with you. Just not in that verbiage. IMO anyone who did not vote should not discuss the results. Jerry Baumchen PS) Those not eligible to vote to be excluded; i.e., our friends to the north.

    Hi Ken, Re: My feelings are mild compared to those I have heard. About 25 yrs ago, I was visiting a friend in Alberta. He was telling me about how they were convinced that, eventually, the US would invade Canada to get to the oil shale resources. This is not new to me. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, How long until the GOP realizes Trump has to go? IMO when the Nov 2026 election results come in. Thoughts? Jerry Baumchen PS) I've been thinking about this & thought it might generate some interesting input.

    Hi Bill, Welcome back; good to see you here, again. IMO Trump is just throwing food against the wall. He is all about headlines & attention. He seems to want to sign more Exec Orders every day just to stay in the news. I also think he is trying something [ anything? ] that could get him a Nobel Peace Prize. I do think that is his eventual goal. Jerry Baumchen PS) As I say, he is all about headlines not common sense: States scramble after Trump orders halt to EV charging network buildout ‘effective immediately’ - oregonlive.com I wonder how Musk feels now?

    Hi Nigel, Re: using bullying and manipulation to do it, coupled with lies. IMO it is what he is. Nothing more than a bully. Jerry Baumchen

    Hi folks, I wonder if those farmers now regret voting for the idiot: “As a result, all that Trump managed to accomplish was to anger local . . . farmers who lost more than 2 billion gallons of water that flowed, unused and unusable, into the dry lake bed of the Tulare basin, where it will be unavailable to farmers in the coming hot season.” Trump's California water release order criticized as wasteful and ineffective Jerry Baumchen PS) Since this water cannot reach L.A., I wonder if Trump might decide to pump it to Gaza, where they surely could use it.

    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
