My thoughts on taxation: (1) When the Federal Government refuses to return taxpayer money to states via FEMA, then states should have the option of giving that money to the Feds in the first place. Let the stares create pacts with other states and self-fund. (2) Institute a flat income tax, personal

and business utilizing the KISS model (Keep It Simple, Stupid). If anyone balks at paying the same rates as the least paid, let them self-deport. How worse off would we be, if they pay nothing in to begin with? Now, I would not go so far as to say all the nations' ills would be remedied by this, but

I am loving what I characterize as spines and testicles being spontaneously created from thin air in the face of the upcoming midterms. But, let's NOT become complacent....expect rigged elections, Be aware and question everything going on. And above all, DO NOT be intimidated by armed "observers" or

(1) Dear "Leader." Take notes. With the passing of Dolly Parton, there has been an upwelling of praise for her talents, warmth, generosity, philanthropy, fairness , business acumen, etc. This is a result of respect, even love, by millions worldwide.

(1) I would just like to say that bitching about a thing is counterproductive unless reinforced with action, or inaction, if that is what is called for. Food prices too high? Redesign your menu with different and less expensive fare. Grow veggies to offsite costs, neighbors can divide the effort and

(2) share the bounty. Quite a few produce items can be propagated at home. STOP eating out as if it were a cost-effective alternative. Make hard decisions, do the hard work and reward yourself with an occasional eat out. Or invite people to eat with you, to celebrate your efforts. We can't change

(1) Dec. 10, 2025 - Trump asks why we can't have get more Swedish, Norwegian or Danish immigrants, 'Those that can contribute to out society." I suppose Donald read about the Nordic model of governance: Constitutional Monarchies with Parliamentary Democratic Systems and thought to himself "Yeah.

(1) Does anyone but myself still think that a flat tax is an equitable and cost efficient way to support our nation? You could still use deductions as incentives, though would be available to each and every one regardless of income. I would limit those deductions in scope and amount. Perhaps, a

(1) It's been reported that before the latest two AI models going rogue, Anthropic previously had an AI model escape an AI Sandbox (containment environment), after it was instructed to do so. It did so. And THEN sent an email its programmers advising them that it had successfully completed its
