Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

The images from Gaza are unbearable. An Israeli hostage, Evyatar David, emaciated, forced to dig his own grave. Innocent Palestinian children starving to death. Our hearts must be big enough to break for all of them. Suffering is not a competition. Empathy is not a finite resource.

What Many Israelis Don’t Want to See

The humanitarian in me asks, What will it take for us to understand that we can hate those who have committed atrocities AND still be able to find empathy for people we perceive as "enemies" but in actuality are non-combatants who are also suffering?

Why is no one talking about how easily Felon 47 is so easily distracted with shiny new toys (like flagpoles), can't say the word "erection" (without almost giggling like a middle-schooler), and won't say what he's thinking about doing about Iran, because he doesn't know yet?

Another summer like 1968? I fear we may be headed that way. Why exactly does Felon 47 want all that military equipment in DC?

I support the use of the National Guard to stamp out lawlessness so, yes, dispatch them immediately to the White House

Why is no one talking about Felon 47's mental status? His ramblings and insane ideas are just as concerning - and more alarming! - as the signs that were exhibited by Pres. Biden.

Trump’s approval rating lags those of past presidents at this point in their terms

Approaching the 100-day mark, Trump has 40% approval rating, the lowest of any president at this stage going back generations, per @pewresearch.org www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...

Felon 47 is an extortionist, playing power games. He doesn't care about the U.S. or us, just his malicious glee at watching the world start to burn.

The big question is whether people will be able to apply for assistance when a disaster declaration is made - and whether Felon 47 will prohibit funds from being accessed in "blue" states.

The good news is that voluntary agencies active in disaster (VOADs) will continue to work with state and local emergency management agencies to assist people affected by the disaster.
