Think about this. Do school shootings, easy gun availability, and visuals of kiddy campers washed away by flooded rivers add to America’s appeal for either tourism or immigration? In what possible way?

Buc-ee’s is a new chain spreading across the country. It has a very oddly-spelled name. Its name reminds me of Buckeye, the well-known Ohio nut and sports team but it’s somewhat twisted around. Is it pronounced Buck-ees (as in BUCKies)?

Agree whole-heartedly. Guns absolutely can be controlled by people (although ghost guns may be an issue). Control of access and restriction of sales would help enormously and ought not be minimized or trivialized. It’s. The. GUNS. Excuses are useless. Remove and BAN guns.

Supreme Court judges obviously aren’t educated enough to shut down Trump as effectively as the Canadian Prime Minister did. They listen to Trump’s drivel! The Supremes are shameful for sucking up to Trump, goading him on. Why have any respect for them? They SLIDE the U.S. into authoritarian rule.

Wish for more blue sky and sunshine. Instead, I feel disgust, contempt, and utter disrespect for Trump, the U.S. Dictator who’s sufficiently untrustworthy that legislation to stop him from entering precious U.S. troops into the Iran-Israel War is soon to get passed FAST. To think he might do that!

Why would Canada want to join a country whose President is likely unaware of the fact keeping “Canada free” is a line embedded within not just one, but TWO Canadian National Anthems (sung by school kids):
(1) “Keeping Canada Glorious and Free” and
(2) “God Keep Canada Free”
Being free is not new.

Tell me why I need have any admiration whatsoever for this 6X Bankrupt President 2X Impeached, who made America’s credit ratings and markets plummet like a rigged casino game? Or for the Supremes, who sing Trump tunes while taking women’s rights? Or HHS, going after detainees & tackling a Senator?

Federal Grant funding has been pulled of New Jersey’s Union County Prosecutor’s Office’s most experienced geneticist/IGG working criminal cases with DNA—the only county in NJ with an IGG in-house. An example of how feds aren’t doing their jobs, and certainly not thinking of consequences.

Proud to vote against Trump down the line today in New Jersey. First time voter in the U.S., I was happy to vote Democratic.

All the staff at this huge Firehouse applauded when they heard about a new voter in their midst. And Trump will absolutely *never* get my vote.

Trump is looking around at all the federal departments, museums, archives around him, and firing any top leader who is Black. My point is, that is wrong and stupid. Trump’s made lots of mistakes; he’s being widely criticized for hurting lots of families. I’m horrified. Lock the felon up! Stop him.

It’s bad news for American Democracy, American TV network ABC is caving to White House pressure and firing a news anchor critical of the President. (I won’t bother watching ABC News and will boycott it). ABC News obviously can’t be trusted for courage and balanced coverage, like Fox News in my mind.

Does Trump thinks he’s beautiful? No, he isn’t. First, men are handsome (not beautiful). Secondly, Trump’s self-inflicted pain isn’t any woman’s ideal of beauty. Thirdly, tariffing, insulting others, giving taxes to the rich, deporting detainees angers many people. Chaos turns us against him. Ugly!

This partisanship about the current California protests is really quite dizzying and divisive. He said, she said, who knows if you’re not anywhere near it?

U.S. Republican politician Lankford is living is some fairy tale world when he says to go back to employer healthcare in the middle of a gig-based economy. Employer healthcare has gone the way of the dodo….Extinct. Ugh! Some people are unrealistic, out of touch, arrogant, callous, cruel.

With meteorologists saying politicians have taken away their data, and politicians defunding medical researchers, and job rates generally plummeting, what good is the current Republican Party of politicians? They appear to be failing Americans very badly.

Much less common than the ubiquitous Montezuma, the Chestnut-headed Oropendola is a superb bird with that gorgeous blue eye.

Trump’s so arrogant; he thinks it’s fine to go and attempt to buy anywhere. Some places aren’t interested in selling. Maybe the real estate field encouraged his curiosity and rewarded his aggressiveness. I just know I would turn this agent away at my door! Keep him away. He’ll be gone soon.

Can’t understand how this curmudgeon POTUS will survive in D.C. Now he’s going after fine art, just because he can. He certainly hasn’t earned my respect. Jobs declined last month. He can’t do a job that Former Pres Biden performed so well. The U.S. had a much better economy with Biden.
