They (We the People) also want our country to be a leader in world peace. We don't want our tax dollars used for the killing of innocents.

How much is this war on Iran costing us in $$$? This far beyond tax favors to Plutocrats.

"False and misleading claims" are lies. Why not say so?

1) It was opposite day at the State of the Union. Trump pointed to lower drug prices, but premiums for Granite Staters have jumped by double digits under him and Republicans in Congress.

Please note that "false and misleading claims" are lies. It's okay to say it: lies, lies, and more lies."

What I see nearly every day in doing basic research on misc. topics is that AI often makes things up to meet whatever criteria it was programmed to meet. It's akin to a compulsive liar who makes things up to look smart. I'm puzzled by this impulse to let it take over our lives.

My only thought in learning this is "Those poor people on that plane..." This cruelty must stop.

If we would reach a degree of civilization higher and grander than any yet attained, we should welcome to our ample continent all the nations, kindreds, tongues and peoples, and as fast as they learn our language and comprehend the duties of citizenship, we should incorporate them into the American body politic. The outspread wings of the American eagle are broad enough to shelter all who are likely to come.

Thanks. The Trump admin. sees that New Hampshire can be easily pushed around with the current Republican "leadership" in place. Let's not allow the festering wound of a "detention center" take hold in our state.
