Without questions, we don’t get answers. Amid the swirl of opinions being thrown around in today’s world, what I call a mix of news and hysteria, how often are we actually going through the process of breaking down the plethora of opinions to be able to come up our own rational thoughts about what makes sense? I try to take a current news story and present both sides in a rational way. Opinions formed? Yes. But a little better understanding of what makes sense.

Water agencies in seven US states have been under cyber attack. US intelligence agencies are considering Iran a prime suspect. The President says he blames political enemies in Minnesota. Is this new age warfare?

The Senate confirmation hearings for Acting AG Blanche are on hold. Republican Senators Cornyn and Tillis say the Trump deal with the DOJ regarding IRS protection cannot stand. They say there must be a signed revision.

Dr Anthony Fauci in front of a Senate panel takes the fifth. He contends the hearing was a trap. Did the Senate miss an opportunity to learn more about the Covid Pandemic. Did Senator Rand Paul set it up as a gotcha moment?

The US/Iran war is entering month six. This is the war President Trump would be over in two weeks. This is a refresher timeline of events and leads to the questions why so many broken promises, and has Trump lost his way?

Measles, once deemed eliminated, is making a decided comeback. No surprise, highest case numbers where vaccinations are the lowest. Most cases this year since 1991. Is it Donald Trump and Robert F Kennedy’s fault. Anti vaxxers.

The US is on a pause of the Iran attacks. Is it to give talks some breathing room or is the US munitions stockpile running low. The UN ambassador says weapons supplies are good. Senator Kelly says they are incompetent.

Did Donald Trump shows us exactly who he is at the Correspondent’s Dinner? It was uncomfortable for him, but he looked lost and went on the attack. Is he coming totally unglued or has he always been this way?

The Pentagon is being accused of under reporting the number of US deaths and injuries in the Middle East. Secretary Hegseth says the media just wants to make the President look bad. Does the American public have the right to know?

Is Donald Trump thinking his deals through? He made the Saudi nuclear deal apparently forgetting about Israel. He has now put another condition on the Saudis. How does the deal square with Iran or South Korea?

President Trump said he would end the war shortly. It is not getting better, it’s getting worse. More attacks while he denies that Americans care about rising prices. He has also entered into a nuclear deal with the Saudis.
