Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
"We have certain things in common Jeffery" - Donald "May every day be another wonderful secret" - Donald
Those lines are going to create some fine opportunities for humor. And conspiracies. We know that MAGA loves conspiracies.
Will the congenital liar now claim that this is not his handiwork? And what of the frivolous lawsuit against the Murdoch empire? Did Trump really think that Murdoch would be intimidated by his bluster, when Murdoch was holding 'all the best" cards?
"The bills are sudden and jarring: $1,400 for a computer part from Germany, $620 for an aluminum case from Sweden and $1,041 for handbags from Spain.
Some U.S. shoppers say they are being hit with surprise charges from international shipping carriers as the exemption on import duties for items under $800 expires as a part of President Donald Trump’s tariff push."
Just ordered 'scripts via my usual source out of Winnipeg. No sure guaranty about when the stuff might show up; and instead of ordering from my usual pharmacy (they use drugstores worldwide) in Mauritius, I have to buy from Canada, and that raises the price. The outfit has added a $5 "processing" fee to cover the Orange fecal idiotic worthless moronic tariff.
*And recall that the courts just blocked Orange Clown from imposing sweeping tariffs single-handedly. That's Congress' job. But the Orange Pimple is taking it to SCOTUS. I have little hope that the case will finish the way it ought to finish.
"No, democracy and the First Amendment aren't in jeopardy."
Your assertion is factually inaccurate. Democracy and the First Amendment are under assault by the Trump administration.
"Lib hypocrisy has been on display in the last several days."
Really? a) Republicans have complained about cancel culture for years yet they are the ones who are cancelling! b) Fox host Brian Kilmeade recently said mentally ill homeless people should be executed. He did issue a short apology days later but otherwise appears to have emerged unscathed. Talk about hypocrisy!
It has been more than a week since Vladimir Putin sent drones into Poland and Trump has responded by doing absolutely nothing. Does that make for another good week?
@Old_Joe Maybe we can organize an over-75 Antifa of our very own. That if you have the vaguest idea what Antifa terrorists organizations do when they exist virtually and vicariously in the dark web ether of the Internet.
"In recent years, antifa has been used in reference to participants in left-wing protests against police brutality and racism in the United States from the mid-2010s and to counter-demonstrators at the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. Conservative pundits and politicians, including Republican Pres. Donald Trump, have repeatedly called antifa a terrorist organization, though it has no leadership or overt structure and is more accurately characterized as a movement, an association, or merely a set of behaviors and tactics used by far-left protesters."
"Antifa came to greater prominence in American politics following Trump’s presidential campaign and 2016 election and the associated rise of the alt-right, a collection of far-right political voices promoting reactionary views on race, democracy, gender, and liberalism generally. Antifa-associated groups—identifiable by their anonymous uniforms involving black clothing and face coverings—protested Trump’s election and disrupted or succeeded in preventing from happening right-wing events such as a speech by the provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos at the University of California, Berkeley."
"Antifa has faced a broad range of criticism. It has become central to right-wing conspiracy theories, including claims that antifa secretly organized the January 6 U.S. Capitol attack of 2021 as a 'false flag' event. Mainstream Democrats, including former House speaker Nancy Pelosi and Pres. Joe Biden, have condemned antifa violence. Many on the left have suggested that antifa’s violence and illiberalism have allowed the right to construct a false equivalency between right-wing and left-wing extremism, and leftist critics have also questioned the effectiveness of antifa’s actions in curbing the rise of fascism."
Trump is an incompetent president who is incapable of leading the country effectively. He has divided U.S. residents with his all-encompassing pursuit of absolute power. Some prominent Republican figures are now voicing concerns regarding Trump's inappropriate actions. Excerpts from Heather Cox Richardson's Letters from an American: "Since he took office in 2017, President Donald J. Trump has worked hard to convince Americans that they are divided into two partisan camps: Republicans, whom he defines as those people loyal to him, and Democrats, a group made up of everyone else. In his first term, when actual Republicans, some of whom he appointed himself, challenged him, he simply redefined them as Democrats. In his telling, major figures in the investigation of the 2016 Trump campaign’s association with Russian operatives, including special counsel Robert Mueller and his staff, FBI director James Comey, and deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein, were all Democrats."
"Legal experts point out that government officials can designate 'foreign terrorist organizations,' but that there is no legal grounds for designating any domestic organization a 'terrorist organization,' especially in light of the First Amendment that protects free speech and the right of Americans to assemble peacefully. Even if the designation can’t actually be made, though, the rhetorical division of the country into Americans and 'Antifa' serves to divide the country into friends and enemies."
"Yesterday, Republican political strategist Karl Rove, who was a key member of President George W. Bush’s administration, pushed back against the friends and enemies distinction in the Wall Street Journal. 'No,' he wrote. 'Charlie Kirk wasn’t killed by ‘them.’ ‘They’ didn’t pull the trigger. One person did, apparently a young man driven by impulse and a terrible hate. If there were a ‘they’ involved, law enforcement would find ‘them’ and the justice system would hold ‘them’ accountable. But ‘he’ and ‘him’ are the correct pronouns for this horrendous act…. Using Charlie’s murder to justify retaliation against political rivals is wrong and dangerous. It will further divide and embitter our country. No good thing will come of it.”
"John Yoo, the former deputy assistant attorney general under President George W. Bush who wrote the legal justification for torture during the war on terror, pushed back on the extreme powers Trump is claiming to kill those he labels terrorists. 'There has to be a line between crime and war,' Yoo said. 'We can’t just consider anything that harms the country to be a matter for the military. Because that could potentially include every crime.'”
"Some voices on the right who, in the past, were protected by the laws and norms of democracy are now calling out its loss. Last night, after the administration pressured ABC to suspend Kimmel’s show, right-wing media host Tucker Carlson explained why a government must not be able to limit speech. 'You hope that a year from now, the turmoil we're seeing in the aftermath of his murder won't be leveraged to bring hate speech laws to this country. And trust me…if that does happen, there is never a more justified moment for civil disobedience than that, ever, and there never will be, because if they can tell you what to say, they're telling you what to think.'"
Edit/Add: Ted Cruz recently shared his views regarding free speech. This may actually be the only time that I've ever agreed with the Texas senator! “I think it is unbelievably dangerous for government to put itself in the position of saying, ‘We’re going to decide what speech we like and what we don’t, and we’re going to threaten to take you off air if we don’t like what you’re saying.’”
Anyone who cheers for the government to shut down free speech, doesn't deserve freedom. They are displaying their love of fascism. And apparently too clueless to even perceive that. Perhaps that sort of person was not born/raised here, and has a corrupted view of what it is to be a real American.
In the end , I believe that even this SCOTUS will not have the stomach for this blatant attack on our Constitutional freedoms. And when they make that ruling, it will be a boot to the head of those who supported/cheered this government action.
Kimmel will be back. Those who perpetrated this assault on our democratic ideals will face the music. Sure, hardcore MAGA will never learn, but it took far more than them to win the last election, and those swing voters are mortified. As are persons of color and a whole lot more. This will be remembered in history as the period when decent people rejected fascism in America. MAGA best enjoy it while it lasts, it will be short-lived. The backlash will be brutal.

While your entire post is worthy, I want to focus on this part. Here you have what many would consider a man with far-right leanings. And he is 100% taking a stand against this administrations actions. He is smart enough to know that what goes around comes around, unlike so many who applaud this assault on our freedoms. Such laws would be used eventually to target many right-wing groups. And Carlson KNOWS it.
Tucker Carlson is LITERALLY calling for civil disobedience against the movement/government that he helped to create!
This administration is imploding, with this, the immigration over-reach and the festering Epstein tire fire. And many feel that the economy may soon begin to deteriorate (jobs, inflation, FED stimulus induced market bubble.
@DrVenture. While no one can argue with your statement that the administration is imploding,,,the fact remains that that his enterprise to literally seize state power for himself rolls on, gathering momentum and is virtually unchallenged. Each day is worse than the day before and he is more emboldened each time he meets no serious resistance. I believe his vice president compared him to a certain German madman and he fell inline. They all do. If there are mid terms they will be rigged and 28 will be cancelled for a national emergency. And the back up quarterback will be controlled by people way smarter than orange.
@DrVenture. While no one can argue with your statement that the administration is imploding,,,
I CAN!
This past week, the S&P500 was +1.05% , the DJIA +1.22%, the Nasdaq +2.21%, and the R2000 +2.24%, all reaching new highs. My 2-3 OEF bonds funds did well too, ranging from -0.07% to +0.09%
None of that is lost on me. I felt that way with Pence too. Though he eventually displayed that he had limits. Not so with Vance. But, this rigamarole with Trump is going to make Vance a very hard sell to swing voters, persons of color and anyone in the middle hurt by Trump policies. By the time this is over Vance may be unelectable. And many other MAGA sycophants in Congress. The billionaire Epstein got away with a lot too. Until he didn't.
As to cancelled elections I believe that attempting such a move would be a death knell for the entire MAGA movement. I do understand the historical parallels, of course. And I have no doubt that Trump would attempt this. Only a true cultist would rationalize such moves. But the more reasonable GOP voters would revolt as well. After all, an attack on the First Amendment is bad, but cancelled elections? That takes things to stratospheric new levels. This is not 1938. This is a well-armed populace with varied and instantaneous means of communication. Trump may think he controls the military, until they decide, no more. And I remember Congress cowering and running on Jan 6. That was a mere fraction of a fraction of the angry mob that cancelled elections would produce.
Imagine a million people showing up at the White House and very angry. And a million more at every state capital. Imagine half the population refusing to show up for work, day after day. Imagine even 10% of the Democrats pulling their money from the market and causing a total economic collapse as trading is halted indefinitely. We, The People, are not helpless. MAGA needs the middle, and it may already be lost to them.
I see many paths/options, not just one. And I am not prepared to give up.
The SP500 finished at an all-time high. My 2 bond OEFs portfolio is at an all-time high too. I made only 0.365% in the past week.
House approves Charlie Kirk resolution on bipartisan vote. Of course, AOC, one of the Dem leaders, voted against.
Kimmel will be back. Those who perpetrated this assault on our democratic ideals will face the music.
Kirk is dead and his wife and children are suffering, while Kimmel — who has earned tens of millions — is alive and still free to speak in many places. If Kimmel's voice is so important, he can create his own podcast. Broadcast networks impose restrictions, yet he refused to admit that he lied. One man is gone; the other remains. To me, this looks like a real assault — death caused by a liberal shaped by indoctrination.
When liberals are angry, they destroy things. When conservatives are angry, they mourned Kirk’s death.
Democrats have called Trump and other conservatives the worst names they can think of and have tried for years to put him in jail, yet still complain about free speech. That’s pretty ironic. The louder Democrats complain, the more it means we’re doing something right.
In terms of the Kimmel Affair, I suppose it is time to start boycotting all of the advertisers who advertise on ABC and CBS. It all comes down to money. They do not function without ad dollars. Let them bleed out.
General Motors, Sanofi, AbbVie, Anderson Plumbing, AstraZeneca, Amgen, Alexion, Verizon, Weathertech, BMY.
As I type this list I am struck by who these OTA networks are targeting. Cadillacs and medication. Pretty obvious. I cannot remember the last time I put on a network, that was not to watch football.
El Trumpo, the dictator, has called conservatives the worst names that he can think of. He assaults the Constitution. He assaults people exercising free speech. He assaults his own unless they fall into line.
I will also point out that Tucker Carlson, and other MAGA darlings, now are speaking of civil disobedience, which is code for violence and destruction. Living in a fantasy of right-wing gibberish will only get slow wildebeest so far. Then things get real. Soon those who believed they "have enough" for retirement discover that the apple cart has been flipped over. And they brought things to that point. Starting with the violence and destruction that occurred at the Capitol on Jan 6.
It took extraordinary means to dispatch our first King and his taxes. And to abolish slavery in the conservative South. And to put an end to Hitler - a far right dictator. If extraordinary means are what is required, decent people in America will rise to it. Some will not. Those who seek to defend the very ones who hate them, and seek to destroy them. Those who ignore Kirk's anti-semitism and racism to side with him. The term used to describe such people is "useful idiots".
By the time that mid-terms are over, the people will have spoken. The House and Senate will be again in Dem hands. Trump will be on trial for high crimes against the Constitution. And no one will be able to shield him this time. Anyone complicit (his entire cabinet?) will testify against him to save their own thin hides. Macho man El Trumpo will probably show up to trial in a wheelchair, like an aging mafioso, with a shawl. He will plead non compos mentis. His family shamed and shunned.

@DrVenture. I hope I am wrong and you are correct.
I hope so too. We must have hope or the fight would be over before it really begins. El Trumpo's own corrupt instincts will be what essentially drives away all rational folks. His cult will remain steadfast, but numerically, it is just not enough.
@DrVenture. I love your forecast so much more than mine. Again,,,I hope you are correct. As we shouted during the struggle to end the( viet nam) war, POWER TO THE PEOPLE !
Beware the Straw Man. The notion that the S&P is up because of Trump, without any realistic causation offered. The opposite is true, the S&P is up despite Trump. Despite his taxes on corporations and people. Taxes that drive inflation. Despite his destruction of trade deals that are crushing farmers. Despite the eroding job market that only began after he was many months in office. Despite the massive debt burden that he laid at taxpayers feet.
Yes, the S&P is up. But, not because of Trump. But, when his destructive trade policies drive it downward, there will be an obvious link directly to causation.
Despite what the maga mouthpiece might think , Wall Street ain’t Main Street. And even if he won the lottery it would not make it a great week for the country.

Yes, the S&P is up. But, not because of Trump. But, when his destructive trade policies drive it downward, there will be an obvious link directly to causation.
