We are close to civil war in this country.

Tensions are high in Minneapolis. Protesters are in the streets. If an ICE agent is shot, will they retaliate?

America has more privately owned firearms than any other country. Armed conflict could easily start and then we’re off to the races.

What happens if shots are fired? How is this different from Fort Sumter? Where will the loyalties of the California National Guard lie?

The situation in Los Angeles is dangerous. ICE agents taking taking brown people off to God knows where. Large crowds protesting this. Trump may federalize the California National Guard and/or send in the Marines.

How many air traffic controllers took the buyout offer?

Yes, as through this world I've wandered
I've seen lots of funny men;
Some will rob you with a six-gun,
And some with a fountain pen.

I first started as a folk music radio DJ in 1997. I wanted to know what new releases were getting airplay, so I started my folk music radio airplay charts: nwfolk.com/charts

All hail the ukulele! I play several instruments but I like the #ukulele the best, because I like playing with other people — and the humble uke is the most social of musical instruments.
