Accusing Democrats of pedophilia is a key MAGA strategy. Pedophilia is one of the few socially abhorrent behaviors for which Trump has not been accused. With Trump now suspected to be on Epstein’s client list is a big problem for the MAGA sphere.

The recent discussions over Trump’s Policy Bill point to an ugly fact. We will have to cut Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security and other support services unless we raise our taxes. We’ve proven that the US cannot move towards Euro levels of support services when our tax rates are 2-3 times lower.

Israel needs to accept high casualties and send in troops to destroy nuclear sites that cannot be destroyed with Israeli bombs. It’s not our fight. A nuclear-armed Iran does not add significantly to threats the US now faces. Big mistake for us to get directly involved.

In Federalist Papers 24-29, Hamilton argues strongly for a standing army, although he recognizes the fear that it could be used v a state’s citizens. He argues that the Constitution gives each state power to appoint officers of their militia. This gives state control over how militias are deployed.
