Remember when we all thought that America stood for something great? Man, those were the good old days! Now we're just pathetic puppets of a deranged party of sadistic religious zealots. Thanks Maga.

Reading all these posts by people who are outraged and upset with the current administration and are predicting a "blue wave" next month ...... remember this old warning "don't count your chickens before they hatch" We've been fooled before

Studies show left handed people are more prone to accidents and may have higher mortality rates than right handers. Being left handed, this is disturbing. It occurs to me that my parents and the parents of every left handed person I know are right handed. What conclusion should I reach? Conspiracy

Fire stations are paying more and waiting longer for new trucks. Why? A few big corporations bought up the fire truck industry and jacked up costs. That's not right. Corporate greed can't come before public safety.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media. Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

We don’t have to put up with this. Not these policies or these politicians or even this system of politics. It's time for us to chase out corruption and build a politics that actually responds to the people.

I have advocated for years that any politician's income, from any and all sources, can never exceed the average pay of the region he or she represents. I believe that this alone would change tax laws, banking rules, interest rates and create a more user friendly economy.

Good point. I find myself trapped into the murder mystery syndrome where I read one after another without end. Preston & Child, Coben, Connelly, Sanford, etc. Or anything by Stephen King Maybe I need professional help!

A "Christian Nation" (one which adheres to the teachings of Christ) would prioritize feeding the hungry, housing the homeless healing the sick, welcoming the Immigrant and uplifting the downtrodden. So no, we're most assuredly not a Christian nation, nor have we ever been. #JustSayin
