Well, I agree that the job numbers are terrible and we definitely have an incompetent president. Can we leave Ray and the gang out of this one though? www.asleepatthewheel.com

Hegseth says, "Civilian academic norms dilute our focus on lethality." I don’t know of any studies indicating that officers who joined the military after ROTC are any less “lethal” than those who attended service academies.

Will he end ROTC at colleges across the country? Cadet or midshipman military classes and drill periods are led by active duty officers and enlisted personnel. Otherwise the prospective officers are in regular college courses with civilian classmates and professors.

Reagan sold arms to Iran. He covertly funded the Nicaraguan Contras in defiance of laws passed specifically outlawing such funding. He should have gone to prison, but Bill Barr and George Bush, Sr swept it all under the rug. Reagan raised taxes. Multiple times. Somehow R’s made him a saint.

The Auburn Board of Trustees dissolved the Faculty Senate this year. I’m pretty much done with the university since everything is politicized now and I don’t see it turning around anytime soon in Alabama.

Posted 9 months ago Tommy Tuberville was a good coach at Auburn, with an undefeated 2004 team that should have been national champs. Still, I am embarrassed that he is affiliated with my alma mater. He was an Auburn employee, not educated there.

34-year career as a airline pilot. I met some interesting colleagues from all walks of life. Not sure I ever worked with a furry. Tuberville is off his rocker. He was a competent football coach at my alma mater. A US Senator? Not so much.

The overhanging threat of investigation and exposure of her misdeeds was more valuable to Trump than prosecuting her. Typical mob behavior.

Someone needs to ask Barasso what his margin of victory was in his last election. Then ask if he considers those 40-some percent of his constituents that voted for his opponent to be anti-American.

We’re all at that point. I don’t fault anyone for using the name. At least it was done properly, unlike Trump sticking his name on any and every thing. Keep the faith. Hopefully, in 6 weeks we start getting some accountability.

I flew in and out of DCA many, many times over a 33-year career as an airline pilot. I can confidently say that no one ever heard me refer to that airport as Reagan. Petty? Maybe, but the name is an affront to the air traffic controllers that Reagan fired and, by extension to laborers of all types.

Swalwell is gone. Toast. Boebert is still there. The GOP is supporting Max Miller’s reelection campaign. McConnell occupies a position with no capacity to execute. Johnson recessed Congress multiple times to avoid votes. Both parties may be addicted to big money, but they are not “the same.”

Karl Rove mocking Trump at The Atlantic Festival is beyond ironic. Why give Rove a moment of publicity? There is a direct, straight-line relation from his (anonymously attributed) statement “we are history’s actors…we create our own reality,” to where we are today with this lying administration.

The term "truth," which once indicated a claim supported by incontestable facts, has, because of Trump, been re-defined.

Canada, we’re sorry it’s come to this. More US citizens have voted for someone other than Trump than voted for him since he first ran in 2016 (he lost the popular vote then, as well). This is “Trade War”, written by Si Kahn and released in May 2026. mebanesville.bandcamp.com/track/trade-...

Kernen and Rick Santelli ran me off of CNBC a long time ago. Bloomberg TV gives me the financial news I want and they do attempt to give different opinions airtime. There’s plenty of “Conservative” viewpoints, but less RWNJ bloviators.

It’s important to note the bias, disinformation, racism and propaganda disseminated by Ellison, Weiss and CBS, but I certainly don’t have to consume their product. We haven’t given up Jeopardy because it’s the only thing the family watches together. Gone are the days of 60 Minutes, CBS News, et al.

People ask which destination was my favorite from my flying days. I tell them every place has its appeal and unique charm, but if I had to pick one domestic city it would be San Francisco. The looks I get after that are revealing. Some smile knowingly, others act as if I’d picked a leper colony.

We may agree on the direction the party should go. I want FDR Dems, not Republican-lite. I believe that now, with primaries over, Dems of all stripes should coalesce around checking this administration. The internecine battles come after the general, not before. You may feel differently. It’s ok.

Bolton deserved no sympathy after refusing to testify in the 2019 impeachment inquiry. He opted to publish his story in a book. Democrats didn’t pursue contempt charges. That was a mistake made 7 years ago. With 11 weeks until midterms, the focus should be on electing D’s, not political purity.

It’s going to get worse with the new expansion of executive privilege under Blanche. We need to elect Democrats. The sects can fight their leadership battles after they gain control. I won’t fight it now.
