I appreciate a human interest story as much as anyone, but I don't understand why the front page of the National section of today's New York Times is devoted to the plight of two inexperienced jet-skiers. Seems to me there are a lot more newsworthy items in these United States. Epstein files, etc.

I can’t believe Trump calling the Iran war “small potatoes” after 18 U.S. service members have been killed and hundreds more injured isn’t a MUCH bigger story in the news.

"Hidden Gusher of Money is Upending the Midterms"-NYT 09/01/2026 Pg. A1 If ever there was an argument against money in politics! We must codify Citizens United out of existence as part of a comprehensive campaign finance reform act.

OPINION: When the Democrats gain control of Congress, their main focus should be on implementing measures that reduce the deficit and expand programs that focus on making American lives better. Healthcare, Education, Tax Reform, and overturning Citizens United, among others.

IMHO: The media has lost the plot. It used to be regulated and held to certain standards. Once the Wild West of cable came into being, those guardrails were removed. FOX and other outlets were allowed to spew lies; CNN went from news to entertainment and opinion.

What gives Trump the privilege of taking the Qatar1 to his presidential library? My reading of the appropriate laws indicates that a President can not accept a gift from a foreign government. He can only accept on behalf of the United States. What am I missing?

Has Harvard Law, or the American Bar Association, reached a conclusion on whether a sitting President can pardon themselves? Or, is it a moot point since the newly elevated Vice President could grant the pardon anyway? Now is the time to have that debate. It should not linger in the courts later on.

Many lament the demise of "The Late Show." I am more concerned with the collapse of CBS's hallowed News Department. The house that gave us Edward R. Murrow, Walter Cronkite, and "60 Minutes" has been decimated. There is not a trusted name in news anymore. Until there is, we are doomed

There are so many things wrong with the "agreement" to create a $1.8 billion defense fund and to give everything Trump touches immunity from audit. One of the founding principles was that "no one is above the law". That should include the condition that no one can make their own laws. # 8647 et al.

Bill MacDonald @bmac51.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

How did we make $1.8 Billion suddenly appear when we have to cut people's Medicaid and SNAP benefits? How did we find money for a needless war and not for healthcare, education, or the environment? PRIORITIES PEOPLE RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES, then deal with the kitchen table issues.

In a near-perfect world, all of these data centers would be required to have a means of generating their own power without tapping into the local grid. They'd be less vulnerable to attack or power failures, and the community would not have to bear the cost

Now POTUS wants to build a helipad on the South Lawn because a new Marine helicopter is ruining the grass anyway. It's an 11-mile flight from the White House to Joint Base Andrews. A 5-minute flight. What does he need these new choppers for? Maintain the ones they have and save the costs.

The President of the United States is a criminal. He SHOULD have been convicted for the crimes he led on January 6th, 2021. He WAS convicted of 34 felonies for corruption and harassment. Yet somehow, instead of facing the consequences he deserves, he’s running the government like a mob operation.

It's time to declare peace and withdraw from Iran. They never had sufficient nuclear capability to be considered an imminent threat. If they truly wanted to be a nuclear power, I'd think Russia or China would give them everything they need to be up and running within a year. #AmericaFirst

Bill MacDonald @bmac51.bsky.social · 09/05/2026

IMO: Where to start? 1. Declare peace and withdraw from Iran. There's no face left to save. 2. Hold bipartisan, open Congressional hearings(i.e., Watergate) to prosecute the Epstein files and find justice for the victims. 3. Ban gerrymandering and restructure districts using logic, not party.

Why was Lutnick questioned about his contact with Epstein behind closed doors? Congress should hold open hearings and expose the reality of the Epstein files, the way it handled Nixon. We need a modern Woodward and Bernstein to beat the drum and write the outline, too.
