Remember the old movies where "press" people and journalists were seen as heroes who sought the truth? These protagonists risked danger, personal backlash and a legion of bad guys (now in Trumpese "bad hombres") to get the truth...

Love em or hate em, the lawyers stepped up big time. Not all of them, but the ACLU and civil rights lawyers mobilized to face off the "travel ban". As one Mr. Trump said while a "civilian" that political correctness has gotten...

Justusforus The Courts have now ruled so I doubt it was because of the "left blowing this out of proportion". The United States is based on the Constitution and where one branch exceeds its authority and treads on the Constitution, I believe the Federal Courts made a...

I do understand where Trump is coming from in one respect. Really I do. He is a business man and he answers to no one. He is used to making orders and no one, except perhaps his kids, are made aware of his up and coming decisions....

Justusforus @celticeagle This may sound odd to say, but I think the World looks at the US and its people quite differently as a result of this "situation". I SO AGREE that certain countries may not take his "toying" and baiting as graciously as Mexico did and this is a...

The Women's Marches in Southern California were incredible. They estimate that 750,000 women and men showed up at the March in Los Angeles. I live in Orange County, the smallest county in California, where at least three marches...

Justusforus @DeborahDiane I hope many think like you. Women need to stay unified since the Trump forces are trying to delegitimize the movement into a moment. I am sure it galls him so many women rose up and I hope they, and those that support dignity and equal...

Justusforus I had to laugh at your line that you "haven't had this much fun since the 60's". The irony is that I think a lot of people woke up to a changed view of the world after election day...with fear of rolling everyone's (women, minorities) rights back at least 50...

Justusforus Some people and clearly not a majority liked his impetuous and critical comments about "politicians" and his lure of a shake up appealed to them. It is easy to be critical of any profession, but there is a reason experience AND qualifications counts in...

Justusforus Goodness that is gorgeous. It would be fascinating I am sure to learn the history behind the pub signs. I do suspect most that see them most frequently are not there for either the art or history. If you are doing a series on these I have to catch up...been...

Justusforus I am still getting used to the site, but I use the "Explore" button and often check the recent discussions and those called "interesting". Some are not my cup of tea, but I have run into some really good ones. I read one of the most positive and uplifting...

Justusforus It seems to vary quite a bit. Seems though that some discussions attract a lot of attention and others not. I agree as to just having fun and looking for something interesting to read and comment on.

Justusforus Did anyone watch the video. I know the link came out a bit odd, but the youtube one should work. Otherwise look up "The Lady from 29 Palms". Andrews Sisters circa 1947...the community started here in the 1920s through homesteaders.
