"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." "The Chance for Peace" Delivered Before the American Society of Newspaper Editors, 4/16/53, Pres. Eisenhower.

Wow! Just heard Rubio say Iran is run by religious lunatics. How is the US any different?

The moral of the story is don't let children play with destructive weapons without adult supervision.

I'd like to thank the Winter Olympics for showing the world how we should behave towards each other! Wonderful example especially in these worldwide troubled times. www.olympics.com/ioc/milano-c....

Can someone explain to me why Dems aren't requiring Customs and Border Patrol staff to go back to there assigned locations? My understanding is the enabling legislation for this agency sets a strict area of operations near our borders?!

Here's a blunt description of the Trump administration from a conservative publication started by former Fox News contributors, of all things. thedispatch.com/article/the-...

Listening to coverage of release of some Epstein files, I have one wish. Every person who is CURRENTLY abusing &/or trafficking children, men or women need to know their time is short. Hunger of the public to stop & punish this type of criminal is high so they should consider themselves forewarned.

Michelle Obama - her interview tonight was great! She states our democracy is not broken, people not being involved is the problem. We must live being politically active for the next generations. Can't give up or be despondent. She's smart, insightful a wonderful influence in these troubled times!

Would like to give a shout out to The Weather Channel. They continue to provide dialog assuming climate change is a real thing! This includes specials on innovations in conservation & addressing climate change. Today they also previewed interview with NOAA director, available on several sites.

Good article about Justice Roberts historic war against democracy. As was stated in the webinar about this article yesterday, the Dems need to pay more attention to the courts. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Recently wanted to watch national news. CBS had interview with Charlie Kirk's widow. Click to ABC but was showing a special report on Taylor Swift's tour - they divulged they're a Disney subsidiary. NBC finally had some news on but don't know if fluff piece beforehand. Access to news would be good.

The Trump Mafia will have to answer for their crimes. But until then, as his popularity continues to sink he will become more desparate to try to maintain control over the government & Republicans in Congress. He could do anything trying not to lose his hold on power. Don't be surprised.

Having some weird accounts following me, 1 says its musk spaceX, the other turned up at same time & has an odd curved i in name. Anyone else run into this?

I must admit it is amusing to see texts seeking money for MAGA, but I'd rather have the money someone is making selling my phone number!

Dear President Trump (or dear leader, if you prefer): Know that unprovoked military attacks on Venezuela will not distract me from our crashing economy, frustrated angry farmers, federal firings, unfunded social programs, ICE militia or the Epstein files. www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

Enlisting OUR Navy to murder people on boats off the coast of North or Central America is 100% wrong. Coast Guard maybe, Navy no! Drug smuggling is not punishable by death in the US! No evidence has been provided connecting the people murdered with drugs. Its a pretext to remove Maduro from power.

Next week may be our last chance for assured free & fair elections for awhile, so exercise your right & responsibility TO VOTE! The link is to a national League of Women Voters letter to Congress expressing concern about proposed voter restrictions. lwvyakimacounty.org/letter-from-...

It sounds like the far right wing of the Young Republicans are in a battle with less extreme members for control of the organization. Without additional push back by less extreme members it would become a Hitler leaning white Christian Nationalist party. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

With all the hype about Portland, Hegseth lecturing our top brass, & Trump ordering our Navy to murder people, its time for this again. I don't know if this is correct number for other branches of military but sure they can direct callers to correct number for assistance. Thanks to Cian.

Push back works in many cases. It helps to have people who are doing the detailed grunt work of watching what your local government is doing day to day. In red leaning central WA State locals stopped Health District from calling ICE in on food handlers. www.yakimaherald.com/news/local/b...

Attorney's working for Trump are warned to get malpractice insurance. I haven't verified this so let me know if this is in error.

Every administration attorney who brings trumped-up charges against anyone needs to be reviewed by their home state bar association for wasting the court's time & whatever other charges are appropriate.

I realize there's a lot going on but I don't understand why very few are covering President Gustavo Petro's final speech to the UN General Assembly? The American delegation walked out because he likened Trump to Hitler. He also called for armed UN troops to stop genocide in Gaza. This is possible.

I didn't know this about antifa. Please me know if this isn't correct, I didn't verify any of it. Posted by Perry White on facebook.

I'm interested in orgs who are saving documents removed from web by the administration. I've seen several but didn't bookmark the links at the time - I know, my bad. If you know of links to those saving documents especially for health and safety, please let me know. Thanks!
