Fan of Bluegrass music. Helped start Strictly Bluegrass on www.koop.org . Retired from that volunteer activity but Strictly Bluegrass still on the air/Web. I try to spend 5 months each year in the Philippines. An old Hillbilly in my very mixed family.

It seems that our American jobs may be on the verge of imploding. Substantial layoffs by major corporations. Some claim due to AI, some say tariffs, but all relate to cutting costs. As a fixed income retiree, so far I’m fine. But, I have big concerns for the rest of America. #losingjobs

MeidasTouch is indicating ground strikes may be imminent on Venezuela. I take any information with a grain of salt. However, there is fairly reliable information that the first Trump Administration actually attempted a failed covert coup. What would discourage them from trying again? #venezuelattack

Word has it, from the Thom Hartmann show, that Maduro from Venezuela just indicated he had stopped a CIA false flag operation against a U. S. war ship. Sure sounds similar to the “Gulf of Tonkin” incident, if true.

ICE Gestapo leaders are being replaced by the more Mafia-esque CBP SS agents! I hope the Courts can return us to normal. Earning the respect of the populace is actually pretty simple. No masks, wear a body camera, divulge their names or badge numbers, and use compassionate common sense.

One of the most disgusting Trump speeches in front of our military, who continue to be used as pawns. The vast majority of service members kept a straight face. Trump has no clue that our service members have full knowledge of what is really happening back home. youtu.be/HIvY085WqbE?...

Are today’s flight delays, purportedly related to the government shutdown, accurate or is it just a Republican ploy? The Republicans created the mess in the first place. The Democrats have been willing to negotiate. Now the Republicans keep spreading propaganda diverting blame to the Democrats.
