Hi Ken, Looks like the first knife has come out: Thune ready to 'support the team' amid questions on McConnell's health | SDPB I expect more to follow. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Wendy, This is exactly how I feel. While I am pro-abortion ( I donate to NARAL every year ), I have never told someone to get an abortion. Although, there are times when I think I should have. :) I am a 'live & let live' type of person. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Robert, Further proof that Trump lives in his own world: listing as accomplishments his hard line on China, ensuring Russia didn’t invade Ukraine on his watch and preventing North Korea’s Kim Jong Un from launching a nuclear attack. NY AG Letitia James seeks immediate verdict in fraud lawsuit against Donald Trump - oregonlive.com I'm at a loss as to why we should not re-elect him with all of these 'accomplishments.' Jerry Baumchen

Hi Ken, Pres. Harry Truman once said, 'If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog.' How true. Jerry Baumchen

Hi John, These idiots should count their blessings; 200 yrs ago they would have been hanged. Jerry Baumchen

Hi John, As would I. However, it looks like some of his cohorts are getting a little nervous: the Senate GOP also holds private lunches . . . , giving members another forum for hashing out the direction of the party’s leadership GOP senators weigh 'special' meeting on their leadership after McConnell's freeze - POLITICO Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, If this isn't a 'Where am I' look, then I don't know what one looks like: McConnell quickly convenes with allies after second public freeze - POLITICO Time to go, Mitch. Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, More winning: Peter Navarro, . . . failed to prove that Trump asserted executive privilege Judge rejects Navarro’s ‘executive privilege’ claim for defying Jan. 6 committee - POLITICO If this is how Trump wins, I'm all for it. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Robert, Guliani and the others will, hopefully, one day realize the very serious mistakes that they made getting in bed with Trump. He is like a slow-acting poison. Jerry Baumchen PS) When I say 'hopefully,' I do have my doubts.

Hi John, While I think he should retire because of this, he will not give up the power. IMO he will hang in there until the very end. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Mark, Just another scam to get the money. Think Franklin Graham. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Deisel, If I have learned only one thing in my 82 yrs on this Earth, it is that you NEVER lose your paperwork. If you cannot keep it in a safe & accessible location, you find someone who can do it for you. IMO your DZ is his own worst enemy. Sorry to be so harsh. Jerry Baumchen PS) And, do not think that even the FAA can keep their paperwork OK. You would be amazed how many times I had to make copies of mine so they could have their files complete.

Hi folks, You might find this interesting: Portland farm makes dramatic statement with this year’s corn maze - oregonlive.com Jerry Baumchen

Hi Ken, No where in the FAR's does it say this. It only says that the rig has to have been I & R'd within the last 180 days. It does not say that the seal must stay intact for the rig to be legal to jump. Jerry Baumchen

Hi 18, Then why has everything that you have posted here been an attempt to convince us? Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, I doubt that they expected this: A muddy reveal for mysterious West Point time capsule from 1820s - BBC News Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, Looks like DeSantis is not as popular as he thought: He was forced to step back from the microphone Jacksonville shooting: DeSantis booed at vigil for victims of racist attack - BBC News IMO a well-deserved response. Now, we need some crowds to turn on Trump; how about a 'crowd' of 12? Jerry Baumchen

Hi 18, The hell he can't. And, being corrupt is an opinion, not a statement of fact. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, If you thought the last episode of MASH had a lot of viewers, you ain't seen nothing yet. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Nigel, That aircraft has a terrible record of killing people; not combatants. Since the USMC does not have anything to replace it, they keep using it. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Phil, Ramaswamy is trying to out-Trump Trump. I doubt that it will work. He is probably looking for the V-P nod. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Ken, During that long ago Bible Study, I asked the pastor if the people who lived in jungles & could never hear about the Christian god would go to Hell because they had never accepted Jesus as their savior. He said that they would. Further reinforcement of my decision. In other words, horse-puckey at its finest. Jerry Baumchen

Hi Joe, Precedent has been set: Listen to Ford to City: Drop Dead | HISTORY Channel Jerry Baumchen

Hi folks, Looks like some of the GOP have other thoughts: "within the grassroots I would say people are really looking at other candidates". Georgia Republicans begin to look beyond Donald Trump - BBC News As I say, it is going to be interesting; especially if the Anti-Trump folks go out in the open to oppose him. Jerry Baumchen

Hi jakee, I am no expert on religion for sure. However, this comment is directly opposite of what I was taught 60+ yrs ago: Who has led a proper and pious life according to God's standard of righteousness, which is the one you will ultimately be judged by, one without even an once of selfishness, pride, covetousness, hatred, adultery, lies, etc.? It was 1956 & I was taking a Bible Study class with my brother. My brother spent his time in class chatting up the girls, I spent my time 'discussing' religion with the pastor. I specifically remember him telling me that I could live a wild & crazy, sinful, wicked life, but, if I accepted Jesus Christ as my savior prior to my death, I would enter the Kingdom of God. THAT is when I called it quits on the stupidity of it. Different strokes for different folks. Jerry Baumchen
