Committed
This man is a committed conspiracy theorist. Even after losing a defamation trial and being ordered to pay $2.3 million to the plaintiff, he says he will continue to speak out about election fraud by voting machines. He is an example of too many Americans today who ignore facts and spin accusations from air. They are damaging democracy but can't be stopped.

Dumb
ICE has started to raid agricultural fields and meatpacking plants to round up illegal immigrants. How dumb is that? These industries run on immigrants and illegals who take jobs Americans don't want. I never worked in meat packing but I did stoop labor for a summer in the hop fields of California. Trust me when I say I was the only American in the field, and I wouldn't have been there except for the necessity of paying my way through university. Stoop labor is incredibly hard and ill paid. Only experienced Mexican illegals could do it well and the field ran on them even after a raid by the border patrol. The average American wouldn't last a day and I wouldn't have either except for the necessity of continuing my education and no other jobs were available. Trump has indicated support for farmers and well he should. ICE might be dumb but Trump is pragmatic.

Generations
What Israel has done in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and now Iran has insured that it will have enemies for generations to come. Israel's fight for survival has only increased tensions in the Middle East. Ultimately, the only path to peace is negotiations, but under Netanyahu is that possible?

No Kings?
This protest against President Trump seems obscure by comparison to an earlier "Hands Off" rally. What do you want to bet that ordinary citizens aren't motivated to turn out for it? The crowd estimate of millions of protestors in 2000 locations is wildly ambitious and likely to fail. The organizers would have done far better to set expectations lower and to avoid the hype.

Divisive
Who would think that a parade could be so divisive? In the Trump era, everything is politicized.

Chokehold
What do you do when your professed enemy has a chokehold on the one mineral you need? You had better make friends with him. But, that is exactly what the US is not doing with China. Trump continues to use China as the boogeyman and China has responded by cutting off the supply of the rare earth. What does Trump expect?

Spine
California's governor is showing some spine in facing off President Trump. It's past time for that to happen but still welcome. Newsom might run for President and this might help him.
