Can someone explain to me why Trump’s approval rating is so high? I realize it is not high, but it is way to high for who he is what the heck he does.

www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026... I love this [gesture around at everything] article! It certainly captures the WTF I feel! Travel in time back to 2016.

www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0... A heartbreaking story about the devastation of measles in unvaccinated children. A must read for anyone on the fence about vaccinations.

Don’t get me wrong. I like Costco and their ethos. But, tell me, do their customers take rudeness lessons somewhere? Are there special lessons for the parking lot versus the store? Or is this true for where I live and not true elsewhere? Any trip to Costco’s is indeed a trip.

www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026... Not a gun owner and have never thought it necessary to have one; however, this article makes some pretty good points about our 2nd amendment rights and the actions of our government.

The violence is escalating and will only get much worse. His wish in 2020, to send the army into Portland comes to fruition with ICE in whatever city they inhabit. Trump, et. al., wants us under his/their control or dead.

www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202... I haven’t read this yet, but you can’t share too many truthful stories of Jan 6, 2021 on Jan. 6, regardless of the year.

www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202... January 6, insurrection was such a stain on this country. Its leader should never have been allowed to run for president…..then he pardons the culprits. Every. Last. One.

www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0... Trump says the USA will run Venezuela. What will that look like? The VP of Venezuela, whom is now in charge, denounced the US. So there is that…don’t think Trump much cares about Venezuelan Democracy and regime change.
