It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.

I ❤️ Amy Klobucher. In the meantime, Schmitt is not going to apologize and is not embarrassed; he only asks questions. Someone else, Mike Gaetz, maybe, has floated Schmitt as a VP to JD Vance in 2028. Spare me. 😵‍💫

For now, a temporary stay. After reading this article I’m inclined to believe the young victim’s mother is very traumatized and needs counseling. Killing Pike will never bring back her daughter or give her the peace she seeks. Sad. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Sen. Eric Schmitt is as dumb as a sack of hammers. Sen. Amy Klobuchar verified that Jack Smith attended a woman’s college basketball game in Maryland on February 3rd, 2024. Schmitt had the wrong State, league and gender. What a jerk. I wonder if he apologized….

The death penalty is just so problematic. Yes, when she was 18, and a troubled youth, she killed another girl. If the trial were held today, her past, as a victim of abuse, would be taken into consideration. Now, at 50, she mentors others, and that, too, will end. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Netanyahu’s argument is old; like a record needle stuck in a groove. What his speech does is continue and augment division. Zionists have been driving out Palestinians from land for decades; look to the West Bank for Zionist terrorism. Jews want to live in peace. Zionists do not.

The words speak for themselves. We are a country built on the idea of freedom of religion. On the other hand, the commandments are excellent rules to live by…don’t steal, cheat or otherwise be disrespectful to anyone. Teachers incorporate those ideas in many ways throughout a school day.

“It’s risk management; it isn’t the base case, and it would be irresponsible not to prepare. That’s a sitting G7 leader explaining to America’s newspaper of record that a hostile move by America is now part of his country’s planning.” It’s a shame, but definitely a smart move.

I, too, remember this moment. I voted for Nixon. Looking back, I probably would have voted for him again. What Nixon did was wrong, but his legacy should also include the EPA, opening relations with China, ending our participation in Vietnam, ending the draft, and so much more. Tumultuous times.

I see this as a positive. Ukraine is making lemonade out of lemons…and drones will probably be the future of much of warfare. Of course, I’d like to see less war, but I don’t see that change happening overnight. Besides, drones can do much more than carry bombs.
