Why didn't he get arrested, too? Because he didn't try to buy anything with his fake money?

Trump's plans for a second term: Raise prices on everything The former president keeps proposing ideas that would make inflation worse. https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/trump-inflation-higher-prices-proposals-rcna151264

Nuking Gaza would convince Iran it better get more into the war than ever before. We would find out if the rumor is true that Iran has nuclear weapons.

Israel went overboard in getting back at Hamas. Hamas killed 1200 in Israel. After that Israel killed 35,000 in Gaza.

Stop counting votes after election day. What if it's midnight and Trump is behind by only one vote? However, the lawsuit filed by the RNC in Nevada doesn’t seek to stop counting ballots after Election Day, but rather seeks to prohibit counting any mail-in ballots received after that date, even...

Putin knew he had to invade Ukraine before it could join NATO. Surely any peace settlement will have to include that Ukraine will never join NATO. How realistic that is, I don't know. Republicans may disagree since it will make Biden look good, but it would be nice if the wars could be settled...

I simply assume that Walters decided that U. S. News and World Report is liberal or too woke to have anything to do with it. Anyway, he is willing to lose federal money for education, so, why not lower or lose school ratings with a magazine he doesn't like? But I don't associate it with being...

I suspect the main reason why American health care is in the state that it is in is because most people are in excellent health while requiring no costly care due to chronic ailments. If you disagree, try electing somebody who is in a wheelchair for better national health care for everybody. Of...

Too bad there aren't any peace rallies or demonstrations where you don't have to be pro or against Israel or Gaza or pro or against Ukraine or Russia. Just be anti-war and pro peace.
