Retired from a nearly 30 year career as a practicing emergency physician in a community based, academic emergency department in Columbus, Ohio. I love reading, history, music, the outdoors and most of all, bicycles!

The US has a long record of sending observers to other countries to monitor their elections to ensure fairness and accuracy. My question is “What democratic country is going to step up and monitor our elections for fairness and accuracy?”

I like and respect Mr. Jeffries. That being said, I believe you are right. It is time for the Democratic Party to embrace the future. The entrenched politicians need to let the younger generation take over.

Tillis and Cornyn had a chance to belatedly develop a spine. Neither man was up to the task. F’ing cowards. The problem with our constitution is that it expects people to act with integrity and honor. Not a single member of the GOP demonstrated either. I will never vote for another republican

Despite tonight’s loss to Belgium I would like to thank the USMT for making us believe, at least for a little while,, that we had arrived on the world stage.

Which is a really interesting problem. The conservatives like Alito and Thomas say they are constitutional originalists, interpreting the original intent of the Framers. Yet they apply right wing decisions on topics the Framers never discussed. Basically they are right wing hacks.

I never played futbol. I have watched a number of World Cup games over the years. The most exciting game I have seen was the game today Cape Verde v. Spain. Congratulations for a Herculean effort by Cape Verde to earn the tie. To Spain you showed respect to the opposition. Congratulations to both

Why are we repeatedly hearing America is inching closer to authoritarianism when it’s apparent to the rest of the world that you’re already there.

In 1976 I was in the army, stationed in what was then West Germany. I keenly felt left out and missed the bicentennial. I believed in the greatness of the “American experiment.” This year I can only feel that the experiment is failing due to a corrupt congress and Supreme Court

It is now abundantly clear that CBS news, including the iconic 60 minutes will now be reduced to the level of Faux News. Sadly, a news source that I have trusted for nearly 40 years is now an arm of the state run/oligarch news media. Sad day for honest journalism.

Up river Glen Canyon Dam formed lake Powell which is currently at 23.12% capacity. Hoover dam formed Lake Mead which is currently at 32% capacity. Estimated “dead pool” level is about 895 feet or below 20%. >20 year drought has led to this and there are serious questions about hydroelectric power

It is pretty clear that at this point the GOP Senate and House exist solely as a life support unit for the thought vacuum known as the President. Every GOP member of Congress (including Fetterman) needs to be voted out of office so we can start over and form a more perfect union.

A bunch of trump loyalists are very unlikely to honor their oaths and defend the US Constitution. As long as their futures are tied to slavish devotion to a criminal they will ignore their duties. We need a way to have a citizen recall of the president. Only then can we save this democracy

The mere fact that the leadership of the Congress are complicit in their inactions is cause for concern, impeachment, arrest, removal, and a whole lot more. Why are the watchdogs asleep? Why is no one taking action against the silent coup taking place?

The true tragedy of this inevitability is that Christian nationalism is based on selective interpretation of the bible, using only passages that support their racism, misogyny, and intolerance. They don’t really seem to advocate the teachings of Jesus.

After slashing government jobs last year the trump administration is now hiring thousands of people, all of whom are likely to be trump loyalists. DOGE was never about cutting government payroll. It was about opening jobs for MAGA supporters

Now that trump is openly admitting that he will accept nothing less than “unconditional surrender” and that he would like to choose the next leader of Iran there can be no doubt that this is a war. This is not a preemptive strike. The GOPneeds to dig deep and find their spine and put a stop to this.

I’ll just say it. If the illegal “conflict” in Iran comes to a vote in Congress. I want every member who casts a “yes” vote be required to send an offspring of theirs to go to the Middle East immediately

I hate the idea that we are going to abandon Ukraine. I think that any agreement with Moscow should come with the understanding that Ukraine is a NATO member and we will honor Article 5 if Russia ever tries to take more land from the sovereign nation of Ukraine.
