Suggestion for TSA. Instead of cutting commercial airline traffic and making thousands of Americans suffer, halt all private jet travel, unless for medical emergencies. Fewer people will be affected and many of those can just go by private yacht, train, or helicopter. Government for the people.

What do ICE agents tell their children when they get home from work? "I arrested drug dealers and murderers?" Probably, so they don't have to admit "I grabbed a woman at her job in front of crying children because she worked at a daycare where they teach Spanish. I shoved her in a van."

Proud of the No Kings protests and the women and men who are leading the charge and who will not be intimidated. We care about democracy and laws and people. We don't use violence, vendettas, lies, bullying, or intimidation. We are antifa-ke news. This is our country too and we will not be ignored.

Is there anything worse than masked agents rounding up people on the streets? Apparently, yes. US soldiers coming to US cities to protect these gestapo style tactics. They can call these people criminals, but clearly they are lying. Teachers? Preachers? Children? What next - concentration camps?

Leave it to the leading man of America to tell women, who go through long hours of labor, the pain of childbirth, pre-natal and postpartum health issues, and sometimes serious complications, to just power through a fever during pregnancy. This is dangerous presidential malpractice.

I will not be taking medical advice from someone who can't pronounce acetaminophen.

If Congress tried to establish one religion, threatened media to remove critical voices, or sent military into cities to stop legal assembly, that would be an attempt to abolish the First Amendment. So why do we tolerate a president who does all of these? Vote out Trump puppets while we can.

The Cult of Personality Disorder is a new disease defined by the overuse of narcissistic media exposure, looting of public funds, and an illegal sense of entitlement, to make an impression on the facade of culture. An election can cure this malady. But CPD should carry a warning from the CDC.

Our children are dying violently. This is crime that needs to be addressed now - not homeless camps, and immigrants looking for day labor. Those are problems.

Killing children is one of the sins to be plastered on the Ten Commandments Walls in school. I hope they are alive to read them. Act! Now!

"Tin soldiers and Trump is coming
We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drumming
Freedom dead in Ohio"

Cities are blocked from banning guns yet accused of letting crime run rampant. The National Guard was not the answer in 1970 and it is not today. Let the mayors and police do the work.

Criteria for Mt. Rushmore: leader, inspirational, and last name begins with a consonant and a vowel: Wa, Je, Li, Ro. The fifth person should be Wo. Denied the vote for almost 150 years, a Woman should be the only reason to add a visage. i would also be okay with the first elected female president.

I don't take home repair advice from a chef or retirement advice from a travel writer. I am not taking medical advice from a CDC director and a Secretary of HHS without medical degrees. Let's protect ourselves, families, and local health care workers. Follow guidelines from the AMA and the AAP.

I don't think AI is going to take over the world. But what if we lose our ability to reason, think, investigate, write, and communicate verbally? All because we got lazy and forgot education is about skill building, mental and social development, and critical thinking. Not writing an instant essay.

I thought we sent Bernie Moreno to Washington. So why is he talking about downtown Cincinnati as if a brawl among some drunks or jerks makes it a criminal megalopolis? He apparently has ideas to fix it.

Isn't that what the White house has become? Go fix that.

"Deranged theater is all I see,
The talons of mad authority.
The ice pick skewers empathy,
A dagger in democracy."

The National Guard is the primary combat reserve of the US Army and Air Force. Does that sound like men and women trained to stand on street corners in Washington DC because they have too many homeless camps? This is not combat, but a national problem of poverty. Find actual solutions.

I am tired of hering about Jeffrey Epstein. Trump and he were buddies in pursuing young women. We will get all the details we need when Ghislaine Maxwell writes a memoir. We have more important matters of national security to discuss, like the autopen and the name of the Washington Football Team.

The administration is hijacking America's Semiquincentennial. Celebrations have been in the planning for several years at local and state levels that will be inclusive and celebrate history, culture, and contributions. Please participate in those, not the upcoming self-involved political road show.

Ben Franklin had 4 rules for his future conduct - frugality, sincerity, industry, and charity - that he set as a young man. We would be better Americans, if we, and in particular our elected officials, reduced debt, stated facts, worked at our jobs, and treated people kindly. That is America250.

Courageous presidents are decisive, weigh consequences, and act. Did FDR tell Nazi troops to clear the beaches and then telegraph he would make a decision "soon" about Omaha and Utah Beach landings? I hate war, but presidents don't waffle in public hoping the decision will be out of their hands.

Lobbies are getting Trump to flip flop on deportations. Great for them. What about immigrants caring for our elders in homes and nursing homes, nannying children, cleaning, building, gardening, etc. If you chose to live in a Democratic city, you are next, and we will all suffer the consequences.
June 17, 2025 at 3:36 PM
i am sickened by the leaderless, rudderless administration. Deport all. Farm Lobby says please not farm workers. Oh, OK. Hospitality Lobby says please no hotel workers. OK. Tariffs on everyone! No wait, just some. 50% 100%? Kiss my feet and it's 0%. Whack-a-mole instead of conscious planning.

Trump wants the problem of Ukraine to go away. Hence, his callous and incredible comments. He is the Neville Chamberlain of the 2020s. If you don't know who that is, ask Czechoslovakia and Austria. It is never okay for an American president to discard a democratic country like playground trash.
June 7, 2025 at 7:54 PM
America250 is inviting everyone to the Trump/Army birthday parade. You need to give your name, email, and cell phone number. Who RSVPs to a parade? I did not clilck through the screens because I was afraid I would either end up on a DOGE list or be asked for money. It's a parade, Just show up.

I was called to federal jury duty, but not chosen to serve. If you have, you know it takes time, thought, effort, and is disruptive to your life. How does it make you feel to know that all your thoughtful work can be overturned on the whim of a man who knows less than you do about the legal system.
