And I Smiled 😃
Just one of the good people, at last I try to be. Interests; science, engineering, and helping others.

- "The world is moving on without us" ... as they should. We are now governed by an "isolationist" regime, so we're just getting what they want. Now it's comical when they want to still think they are relevant and no other country cares. Better days will come again. Til then be well and be kind.
- Xi won. And Trump still chasing him. Xi’s defiance pays off, with Trump meeting most of China’s trade demands - Bloomberg
- It ends just as we all knew it would. The side effects will unfortunately be felt by us all for months and years to come as we all pay the 30% tax increase. Or it will end quicker when the Democrats take back the house.

- Thanks for posting my exact thoughts on the subject Tom. Russia can never be trusted!
- The most corrupt regime in American history and it isn't close.
- If I'm not mistaken Air Force One is equipped with all kinds of ordinance avoidance and radar jamming devices. I'm sure his new toy has that, right? If not, that could be a serious issue.
- I wonder which Time Share company Howard Lutnick is going to get a job in sales at.
- Brilliant Mark. Made me smile. Be well and be happy.😀
- Why isn’t Mayor Baraka allowed to go inspect a detention center in his city?? He’s the Mayor for God’s sake. What are they hiding that they don’t want people to see and why are the ICE agents covering their faces like outlaws? Somebody do something!!!! pix11.com/news/local-n...
- Turn off the water, turn off the electricity, block the entrances. It's not federal land and the feds haven't paid the 6 million dollar city fee for this year's access.

- “Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes.” -Anne Frank, 01/13/1943
- Did the police ask to see the arrest warrant? If they did not, they are not "protecting and serving" the populus. Instead, they are aiding abetting illegal activity.
- NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey mayor is arrested at ICE detention center where he was protesting its opening, acting US attorney says.
- Is this a privately owned center? If it is its not a federal building or even on federal land. If this is true then I would think it's on state land. If thats true then the state can define it as 'unsafe for human occupancy' and lock it up until the owner makes the required repairs I'm not a lawyer
- Our nation’s next “top doctor” hasn’t ever once actually cared for a single patient. We aren’t idling by. We are filling the void. I’m proud to support @aft.org and now @ufcw3000.bsky.social in an effort to ensure our nation’s frontline workers have health information they can trust. Join us.

- Thank you, Mr. Clark for the reply. I learned something today. 😀 Be well and be kind.
- Question for politicians. How hard would it be to include in the cabinet level appointments that the candidate would have to be qualified for the position? For HHS, NIH, CDC, and Surgeon General, you would need to have a doctorate in medicine, which would be a good start.
- An armed conflict between India and Pakistan would be catastrophic for the world and must be avoided at all costs. The United States and our allies should be doing everything we can to stop another escalation and pursue all possible diplomatic avenues to resolve this peacefully.
- You mentioned our allies. I don't think we any of those anymore. Perhaps it would be better if all of our old allies try and help and just leave us off to the side where we currently belong.

- Brilliant!! And I smiled.😀
- I have a question. Why are foreign dignitaries coming to the U.S.? In the "good old days" it was common to abduct foreign officials and hold them til a ranson was paid. I put nothing past the current U.S. regime. My solution is, don't visit ... until the regime is removed. Be safe. Be well.
- Massive betrayal in my marriage as my wife photographed me in bed-- hunched over a cluster of crab legs in a freezer bag like a were otter
- Now that's a funny image. Wereotter 😆 And I smiled.

- The nation’s best are not in the federal government right now. It’s why im using my platform to ensure the voice of the best will be amplified. Episode 5 of Meidas Health — a vital convo on how state health departments are adapting to the times, with Maryland’s Health Chief: Dr Meena Seshamani!
- As always, thanks for keeping us informed. I'd love to stay and chat, but I have a podcast to listen to.

- I did a little research. It's is estimated that the policing of the drug 'cocaine' into the US only stops about 3% of the amount that is being smuggled in. Let's be kind and say 50% of all fentanyl gets stopped. We all died 1-1/2 times during the first 100 days www.goshennews.org/just-facts-h...

- We know her name, where she is moving from, etc. Won't be long and I'm sure we will all know where she ended up. You can't hide is this country. I'm sure her new neighbors will know who she is in short order too. An unenviable situation to be sure. Then again, this is what she wants right?

- Brilliant!!!! Made me smile. Thank you. 😀
- They can hide all they want. In the information age it doesn't matter. Just put "black history" in your browser. All they are really doing is wasting time and effort for no defined goal. Come to think of it, that's all they ever do.
- You know what saved lives (but not 258 mil lol)? Making Narcan available so people could survive overdosing. You know who’s taking that away? www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...
- Are we ready for this??? Yes, we are. At this point, you will lie and spout all kinds of unrealistic numbers and other nonsense. There are no surprises listening to the cabinet meetings. Same as it ever was ... same as it ever was.

- You sure are making me wish I lived in Illinois. Keep up the good work Governor.
- Trump 2.0: Armed fed'l agents burst in (apparently a no-knock warrant). Since they'd worked the case, they knew who they were looking for. Instead, they found a mom & her 3 girls. Nonetheless, they sent them out into the rain in underwear & then took all their $ as evidence. kfor.com/news/local/w...
- So .. the ability to use critical thinking and to understand English isn't a requirement for employment with ICE? Asking for our country.
- personally would like to see every store show what part of the price increase is due to tariffs bc if these tariffs ever come down, i need to see that price go right back down
- With this one post you gained a follower. Thanks for making me smile.
- An observation The Supreme Court decided that a president cannot be held legally responsible for all decisions made as president. They can just as easily overrule that decision, removing that protection. It worked for Roe V Wade right. Lawyers, start you engines!!!

- Oh I could name one. He just isn't Canadian ... so you're safe from that one.
- People are NOT understanding what empty cargo ships from China means. It means no work for dock workers. No work for truck drivers, no work for retailers, fewer dollars circulating. The cascade effect is just mind boggling.

- Sadly, you can never teach a person what they don't want to learn. They just continue in their uneducated state until an event of great significance occurs and forces them to alter their perceptions. That event is coming ... very soon.

- A thought on ICE I would like to believe a lot of folks working for ICE don't like their job. They need a good job though. How about states give them a better offer? Fewer federal agents, fewer people breaking the law and ignoring the constitution. Just a thought.

- Thanks Nick. I never thought of it that way, but you're right. Thanks for the education and making me smile. 😀
- Macron shook one hand.
- This is the new custom when the US is around. Paraih anyone?
- Had my first bike commute this week since congestion pricing went into effect and the improvement is *insane*. Totally transformative.
- Safety tip. When caught out in the rain I suggest leather gloves. If you have clamping brakes they do NOT work well in the rain, so I used my hands on the front rim to brake. Worked well for the 15 years I rode into work.

- I disagree with the premise that "no one knows what they would be without him" Broadcast programs know exactly what every personality adds or subtracts from the viewing demographic. Market research firms exist solely to do just that. Netflix, Hulu, etc. provide weekly info to them. They know.

- Without Mr. Jennings getting tag teamed by everyone else on the panel ratings would be even worse. There is a part of the viewing public that enjoys watching that occur. It's the same format perfected by Faux News. 'The 5' etc. Sadly it works.

- Valid point, but attention is what drives viewers to watch a program or podcast. It's the number of viewers or clicks that drives the ratings, and it's the ratings that determine how much a show gets paid by advertisers. So we are both saying the same thing in the end. Thanks for your thoughts.
- I get it, CNN. He gets you ratings. Other than that he adds nothing to the discussion of any topic. Why not try having someone who actually adds to the conversation. I know I would be more interested in that format. I might even tune in. Come on CNN. Help Americans understand the headlines.

- A thought on the gov paying women to have kids. They floated a number of $5000 What is the average cost to raise a child to 18? Read the info below, but it's gonna cost a LOT more than $5000. www.parents.com/how-much-doe...

- I'm thinking there will be plenty of lawsuits on this one. Both now to halt it before it begins, and in the future, as people file class action suits, if even a few files are accessed.

- Is anyone, anywhere, surprised that Ukraine would not accept this? Even worse for the free world, it lets China or India fill the vaccuum left now that the U.S. wields no global influence on matters of importance. Hopefully, a country with some sense will step in to do some actual peace talks.
