I read this in my recent Atlantic magazine subscription. The story about the lack of inoculation with Measles Vaccine is stunning. The results being a child dying. The comments by Robert who hails from an important political family are stunningly false. If you believe what he says, everything said by those who favor vaccines is […]

When the Trump Administration announced plans to arrest and deport all undocumented people, it seemed implausible. Where would the personnel and resources come from to round up, transport, house and feed over ten million men, women and children who are distributed all across the country? How would the enormous expense of such an operation be […]

It is bad enough as it is with the authorities going after people in public. Now politicians wish to “invade” schools in Arizona. Not that terrorizing people in libraries is acceptable either. And they would force teachers and others within the schools, etc. to fully cooperate by reporting on immigrants. One AZ State Senator wants […]

Tariffs . . . are a marvelous distraction while Trump hides what he really wants to do. Everybody is looking in the wrong direction, mesmerized by the shiny coin as Trump calls off tariffs for now. Trump does not care about America. He cares about himself and stuffing away $billions. Time to buy on the […]

During his first term, Trump railed about energy-efficient plumbing. He claimed he had to flush his toilet 10-15 times and was forced to stand in the shower five times as long. I have no idea what he’s talking about. Sounds like what he needs is a plumber. In the event, the Biden Administration mandated resource-conserving […]
