Things You Might Want to Think About

Allies
These United States' gives you some world destroying nuclear missiles to defend your country. You hide them in really cool secret bases or underwater stealth vehicles, just like Doctor Evil.

Then, ... Mr. Obama shares the location of all the nuclear missiles with your arch-enemy.

Not cool.

Bluff
It seems, some folks are trying to remove President Trump from office. It seems, he colluded with the Russians to steal the election from Ms. Rodham-Clinton, leaked top-secret information, or ... all the things Hillary really did.

Change
For too long, our country has followed a course of action, over 50 years old.

Sooner than later, we need to change.

The only problem, it will probably be too little, too late.

Good Cops
You see something go down that isn't right. Your supervisor says it's o.k., nothing illegal happened.

But, ...

You give it to the press, so they can let citizens decide for themselves.

Thanks for being a 'Good' Cop.

Higher Taxes
I believe certain things. One of these is to pay my bills, on time.

Well, ... It seems a group doesn't believe that's the case for these United States.

News to Me
Wow, ... I didn't here about this.

I wonder why?

Once Again
Every couple of years, someone mentions that these United States is spending its money in all the wrong places as they compare some other country's expenditures.

This time, it's China and these United States.

Needless to say, the author always makes a good point.

A Plan
First, we legalize drugs, but not all the way, like alcohol, then we set up 'Drug' stores ran by federal government employees with government benefits, healthcare, pension, and other government perks.

Next, we require these drugs to be regulated by the Federal Drug Administration, so we have to expand the F.D.A. to monitor the increased production at Lilly, Bayer, Pfizer, and many others.

Next, we require a prescription, from a doctor, for an adult to get these narcotics while we start an anti-drug campaign with national advertisers, on the radio, in the newspapers, on buses and trains, and other places to prevent teenagers from doing these drugs/

Then , we pay for it all with profits from the selling of these formerly illegal drugs.

Racists
If we changed the author's skin colour, you would swear he was a racist.

Lucky for him, ...

Scientifically, there is no such thing as 'race.'

Warning
Plants aren't like animals; they pick up genes from each other and survive.

Overheard

"I confess to being amused by the mainstream media's implict view that everything would be peachy if only Trump wasn't president"

"The most recent court hearing on the case was held on April 25, during which the DNC reportedly argued that the organization's neutrality among Democratic campaigns during the primaries was merely a "political promise," and therefore it had no legal obligations to remain impartial throughout the process."

"This is opportunity, and I fear it will be wasted."

"The radicals running the American “republic” are no less bloodthirsty and malevolent than those who razed the Vendée. They may not unleash genocidal infernal columns on the suburbs, but they are plenty enthusiastic about importing hordes of foreign peasants to wreak havoc on the people. They are also smart and savvy, masters of the tools of power. But most of all, they have no sense of restraint."

"I find it telling that the stuff about Trump that outrages me, is never the same stuff which outrages the corporate media."

"We should recognize discrete regions based on the settlement of natural ethnic, religious and tribal identities. There will inevitably be conflict between these tribal territories, but they will claim far fewer lives than Saddam’s efforts to suppress the Shiites and the Marsh Arabs did. Tribes will kill fewer people than a tribal nation state striving to stamp out rivals and competitors with a powerful domestic military."

"Gee, I wonder whether Carlos Slim exerts any influence on the editorial slant of one of his companies?"

"First off, Democratic politicians threaten the Second Amendment all the time.B
