So many people want to get into the USA precisely because it is the greatest and most equitable country in the world at the moment. Yes, we (meaning Congress) need to implement a better immigration system and perhaps find some way (other than going in with guns blazing) of getting other countries on...

It should be obvious that the United Nations is, in general, when it comes to big countries grabbing territory (and people and resources) through military might, an abject failure. Either the UN needs reworked such that an aggressor nation cannot veto UN actions against itself or a whole new organiz...

Remember the French? If it was not for them there very likely would be no United States of America. Remember over 50 years of at least European peace? Notice that a single individual, Vladimir Putin has thrown that peace out the window for what he apparently sees as his own self-aggrandizement. Wher...

As an example of Supreme Court illogic (and completely ignoring reading the law in English) also see the case of Donald J. Trump v. Norma Anderson , et al., 601 U. S. ____ (2024) (i.e., v. the State of Colorado) https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/23-719_19m2.pdf . The Colorado public office...

Today's courts (at least Michigan courts and the U.S. Supreme Court) no longer adhere to the law, as I found out when I needed honest, high integrity judicial support to stop Michigan State University's theft of some of my earned vacation time (or its equivalent in dollars) or to collect an Unemploy...

Studying the issues and the candidates and their perceptions of the issues and possible solutions and compromises is the only way you can maximize the power of your vote. It is no longer the case, if it ever really was, that just picking a political party and voting a straight party ticket will work...

Political gerrymandering to create voting districts that favor one political party over another or that effectively diminishes a one-person-one-vote power for some groups needs to be curtailed to the largest extent possible. Michigan is perhaps at the forefront of this process with their Michigan Co...

Popular vote or some other mechanism needs to be devised that better balances the wishes of the people in the election of the President and Vice-President of the United States. A good part of the solution, when honored by the people in the branches of the government, is already found in the Constitu...

Somewhat analogous to the veto power of specific single UN members is the issue of 2 state Senators for even the low population states. Some other mechanism is needed that guarantees that more populous states cannot gang up on the low population states and yet the low population states cannot gang u...

The simple solution to the fantastic growth of big money spending on political campaigns is for you, you, you, and you to simply quit paying any attention at all to the campaign ads, both positive and negative. The vast majority of them are simplistic lies with only maybe the merest thread of fact t...

Born a twin in Champaign County, Illinois on January 8, 1952 making me 72 years old in 2024. Not as old as either Biden or Trump but still what I consider to be past prime age for a president or a representative. (It's past time for a generational change in upper government people.) I lived in Champ...

I was a Republican for most of my early voting years but when the "Republican" party started veering away (such as injecting religion into laws) from sound Constitutional policies I switched to being independent occasionally voting Libertarian or Democrat when a specific Republican candida...

Beware of politicians. In fact, beware of everybody. When some people believe they might have even the slightest edge in power over you they are willing to abuse it. Even the more so when they are physically more powerful than you and even more so under the influence of hallucinogens or intoxicating...

A democracy is simply a form of government where people have a say in the government and laws through their votes. A republic is one where that say is through a layer of representatives voted into position to shape the government and laws on behalf of all the voters. The United States of America is ...

If all religions were created by an omnipotent (and good) god then why aren't they the same? Exactly! You've hit the nail on the head. Any god that was all powerful (and good) would certainly have made sure to get the correct word out to everyone. Hence, it should be obvious, the religious books no ...

Odds are very high you have simply "inherited" whatever religion your parents (or at least one) followed and, because of simple rote training, that is what you follow too even though the odds are also pretty near 100% that you are not certain you believe "everything" you are told...

Vote for the topics you are interested in discussing. You may vote for at most 3 and change your vote at any time. Click "Post Reply" and enter a topic suggestion. Suggestions that James E. White finds acceptable will (eventually) be added to the poll to allow you to vote for the 1-3 you a...

Basically you just type with two " Enter " (or " Return ") keystrokes to separate paragraphs, I find it easiest to enhance text by first typing in all my text then selecting just the text I want to apply " B " ( bold ) * , " I " ( italics ) * , " U "...

This section could just as easily be called "first cause" or "infinite regression" because that is the question that "God" has been presumably "created" to answer. You can somehow detect yourself and you can believe by touch and observation that there is a &qu...

You've seen the rules. If there is no abuse they won't get any more complicated. Non-innocent abusers generally will be removed, deleted, banned. Innocent abusers will be notified. But warning: to use this website you must engage your thinking brain. No coasting on just what you've read somewhere or...
