John Jacob Jingleheimer SchmitI do still follow the news, pay attention to the headlines, have a general sense of what's going on. But I'm not the same #newsjunkie I was during his 1st Administration and the Biden years. It's all just too much awfulness all the time now and I have to step away and follow sportsball or #anime for awhile for the sake of my own sanity.

janrif. SUPPOSE IT HAPPENED
Prior to Dec 1991, no one would have imagined the USSR would break up into states, independent from mother Russia.
How about in the "United States" of America?
Whomever is in power at the Federal level hasn't really represented us for decades. It's a self centered, self-sufficient, self perpetuating body that exists for its own sake.

Bloomberg: “Arrivals of non-citizens to the US by plane dropped almost 10% in March from a year earlier… Goldman Sachs Group Inc. estimates in a worst-case scenario, the hit this year from reduced travel and boycotts could total 0.3% of gross domestic product, which would amount to almost $90 billion.”
Edward Luce: “The U.S. president’s middle finger to the court was echoed by his attorney-general, secretary of state, vice-president and El Salvador’s vigilante president Nayib Bukele. The latter is playing host to what resembles an embryonic US gulag.
OUR WORLD:
.... imagine a luncheon at the Harvard Club featuring a billionaire hedge funder, a movie producer, a Harvard professor and a writer for The New York Times.
“The billionaire says, ‘Wouldn’t it be cool if middle school kids had free access to sex-change therapy paid for by the federal government?’” Baehr said. “Well, the filmmaker says, ‘I’d love to do a documentary on that; it will be a major motion film.’ The Harvard professor says, ‘We can do studies on that to say that’s absolutely biologically sound and safe.’ And the New York Times person says, ‘I’ll profile people who feel trapped in the wrong gender.’
