Editor,
Donald Trump ordered California’s water reserve, meant for the agricultural business, to be released to stop the L.A.-fires. Didn’t anyone dare to tell him that the water would go straight into the Pacific Ocean, and nowhere near the L.A. fire area?
Was this the worst executive order Trump has issued so far in his second term, or was it worse to pardon and let loose again all the criminals who had attacked the Capitol Jan. 6, 2021? Or was it worse to leave Elon Musk free to snoop through all those personal and top-secret documents regarding our governmental hierarchy?
Or, perhaps worse with all the appointments of totally unqualified people to critical positions that require well-educated, experienced people? Or would it be worse to eliminate the Office of Education; although the less educated people are, the more likely they are to vote Republican?
Could it get any worse? Well, we’ll see.

Yawn, snore… Thanks for your letter, Mr. Aadahl, but if you don’t understand the Electoral College or the Second Amendment and if you don’t understand the definitions of “assault weapon” or “insurrection” or “incendiary” or “credit” to name a few, what makes you think we’d take your criticisms seriously? I do credit you with some progress - not bothering to reference a debunked “insurrection.” More power to Elon Musk and his band of merry men in continuing their DOGE activities. I haven’t taken a tally but I believe DOGE may have already saved us over $1 trillion. Goodbye Department of Education and USAID, and…
TY: I can’t say I like it, but I have to give you credit for being the only one I have heard of, who understands, without a fiber of doubt, the original meaning of the 2nd Amendment, which has been the subject of quite different interpretations from Day 1. Cudos to you, DJ’s most prominent Word Mixer!
Thanks for another compliment, Jorg, but it’s not just me who understands the original meaning of the 2nd Amendment, it is hundreds if not thousands of judges who have that same understanding. I wish you would do a bit of research so you could join us in the know instead of wasting our time with your word salads. BTW, are you going to send me some Cudos cryptocurrency? I appreciate it but I’d prefer you send it to the Trump Presidential Library fund - the fund where Trump directs winnings from his lawsuits against the mainstream media. TY in advance. Have a Trump-tastic day!
Jorg, you are right on the mark! Less education = more Republican support = more violent criminal insurrectionists let loose to be come DJTrump's private militia. Here's hoping we're all around long enough to survive what's coming!
Well NM, educated does not always square with intelligence. The alleged educated elected Biden and then supported Harris. I'll go for the intelligent who are now giving the educated a run for their money, literally, as we are finding out how mismanaged this country was. Riots in the streets by Democrats who see their slush funds dry up. For them you are a useful i****t.
