The elephant in the room:) If the threat of climate change is real, then all policy at this point assures the destruction of the planet. Policies in place assure increase in emissions not a decrease. Not even close. One then has to ask, what is going on? From a ..... probability perspective, when you have unknowns, (Like Hold-em) you assess different probabilities of answers. And that is would we are staring at here, on the range of possible explanations what is the % likelihood each is correct. If you agree with the premise that ....

Americans need to smarten up. Conservatives, liberals, progressive need to come together in a common purpose. Afterall, we are all Americans. We may disagree on some issues, but a common threat ties us together , we are all Americans and have an interest in keeping this together. As I assure you, when the smoke clears politicians will not have your back nor will any foreign power that gains influence. Once their end goal is reached do you really think this censorship is not going to roll over on everyone. That they will continue to allow

There is nothing unique about the time we are living in. The battle that is raging now has been one that has been playing out since the beginning of time. The battle between good and evil. It lies dormant for periods and then voila, you get the Holocost, Spanish inquistion, killing fields, etc. The reason for the evil is the same reason its always been. Power, Greed, combined with the ignorance of the human race. Some things never change. This time around, its framed politically (D vs R). But make no mistake what is happening now transends

I think you have to take it one step at a time. 1. Will the Jan 6th committee send to the DOJ a recommendation of indictment in a report laying out their findings. 2. Will the DOJ take it to a Grand Jury 3. Will the Grand Jury indict? #wakeup #WakeUpAmerica Breaking it down in this manner can give someone a reasonable idea of what to expect. Considering the makeup of the Jan 6th committee and the leaks it seems likely a referral for prosecution will be made. The DOJ's actions make it clear that they will seek an indictment.

Sinema is the change agent that the Republican party needs now. Integrity, courage, and a desire to represent her constituents. She has no future in the Democrat party. But, If the wind blows right she could be a very popular leader on the other side. @SenatorSinema #wakeup I could foresee her being on the national ticket on the republican side if the establishment Republicans get wiped out in the primary as they should. There are issues you may not agree with, but that is good, not bad. Provides balance. @SenatorSinema #wakeup #WakeUpEverybody

It always amuses me when people talk about fixing the human race. From the beginning of time until today there is no indication that the human species has the ability to learn from its mistakes. If the species were an experiment they would have ended it long ago. #wakeup I read a book that explained this phenomenon well, A book published in 1996 "goodreads.com/book/show/1812…

We agree on your first paragraph, but not on the solution. I am busy handicapping sports right now, but I can explain myself a bit better later. I do not see anything wrong with an opinion and a news section of the media. It has always been that way and I do not think it should change. On the other hand, they should not get a pass just because they call themselves journalists.

The U.S. has a choice to make. Either split up the country into two countries with two separate governments independent of each other, or start having equal justice under the law. Otherwise there is little doubt this country will fall. #wakeup No country in the past has been able to survive this level of division and tribalism without massive bloodshed as the end game. When you have the media screaming for de-Ba'athification you know something is very wrong in society. The media gets their talking points from

For some reason, people miss that Social Security and Medicare are not entitlements. They are mandatory insurance, with the Federal government as the fiduciary is responsible for administering it. Americans paid into it their entire working lives. #WakeUp If Americans were given an option to privately fund their retirement and medical care at age 65, the alternatives would have been substantially better resulting in a much larger return on investment and much better medical care. But the promise was that the Federal Government...

@SenJackyRosen You are my Senator. I voted for you. I like a lot of what you do. However, you and I both know the Jan. 6th commission was only a political decision it had nothing to do with investigating anything. Hasn't DC divided the country enough? Many Dems have family members who @SenJackyRosen supported Trump. Many Dems would like to see a reconciliation. All this commission does is perpetuate and increase the divide in this country. There is nothing unknown about Jan 6th, except perhaps why Ashli Babbitt's killer has not been charged. The nation does not need another
