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.
Yesterday, former first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton cut to the heart of President Donald J. Trump’s destruction of the East Wing of the White House.
Hilary? The Clintons stole an estimated $28,000 in White House furnishings and paid $86,000 to the federal government for other gifts they received.
BTW, Trump doesn't take his salary. How many others have done it? N. Pelosi is worth about $250M, and her husband is worth over $400M using insider trading. Why does she take her salary?
Why BDS? The White House sometimes installs a large tent on the South Lawn for major events, such as state dinners and summits, when its indoor facilities are insufficient for the number of guests. This practice has been common for many years, but a new, permanent White House State Ballroom is being constructed to resolve this issue.
Democratic leaders have completely lost their sense of responsibility. Chicago and Illinois officials continue to overlook the city’s growing crime problem while defending illegal immigrants involved in criminal activity. If they devoted the same commitment to safeguarding American citizens, crime rates would be far lower.
After President Trump takes decisive action against cartel criminals, Democrats respond with lawsuits rather than cooperation.
Trump Denial Syndrome. Exhibit A. What-about-ism. The perfect example. Logical fallacy: "poinsoning the well." Or Ad Hominem. Impugn the source, with the intention of communicating that X can't ever be correct about anything, because X is X.
The economists' chorus of doom since January 2025—stagflation lurking, recession inevitable, inflation roaring back, markets in freefall. Yet, as of October 24, 2025, the U.S. economy is defying the script with solid growth and tame (if sticky) inflation. The stock market is at a high, and bonds have done well YTD.

If your arguments are so weak that you must resort to using whataboutisms, please conduct basic fact checks at the very least.
"The Clintons were not 'forced' to return any gifts, they were not found to have 'stolen' any items, and the aggregate value of the objects in question was much less than $200,000."
@BS1000 - you're going to have to change your name to BS2000 because I think you've surpassed the 1K mark. Do you ever get tired of spewing your moronic nonsense?
To wit, it has been shown that your hit on former President Obama was total bunk so you've moved on to the Clintons. Wrong again!
Concerning your whataboutism can we expect you to go ballistic when your criminal leaves the White House with a $400M airplane along with AN ADDITIONAL estimated taxpayer expense of $400M in upgrades?
Politico obtained a trove of Telegram chats from Young Republican leaders in several states. The messages provide an unfiltered look at how these GOP activists talk when they believe no one is listening.
"They referred to Black people as monkeys and 'the watermelon people' and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery."
"William Hendrix, the Kansas Young Republicans’ vice chair, used the words 'n--ga' and 'n--guh,' variations of a racial slur,more than a dozen times in the chat. Bobby Walker, the vice chair of the New York State Young Republicans at the time, referred to rape as 'epic.' Peter Giunta, who at the time was chair of the same organization, wrote in a message sent in June that 'everyone that votes no is going to the gas chamber.'”
MAGA seems to attract many people with racist, violent, antisemitic and misogynistic tendencies. Has this become the nucleus of the modern-day Republican party? What are party leaders doing to eradicate this scourge?
@Observant1, I wonder why some of our Jewish friends are not outraged regarding the swastikas' showing up in the offices of Republican members of congress and young Republican's engaging in anti-Semitic speech.
What is so funny here is how easy it is to refute the weird claims made by Trump supporters. That these slow wildebeest never do any actual research and just slurp up these rationalizations. It makes them look so ill-informed and eager to spread misinformation. The wacky housewives of MAGA - gossip mongers.
Then if you actually provide context or facts, they ignore and deflect. Make America Ignorant Again! Certainly explains why trump likes the uneducated!
I replaced my old wood windows and aging HVAC system not long ago. My neighbor put in a pool. Totally the same right? I'd bet that 75% of the Obama-era WH renovation was in security systems to protect POTUS. Not gilded chandeliers to impress ME sheiks.
Gotta hold the majority Repugnants' feet to the fire some way. The American people need stuff. Repugnants on The Hill just care about themselves. Spectators. They've abdicated all mature responsibility, and have in fact done irresponsible things, instead. Deficit, anyone? DOUBLE the deficit in 10 years? SURE, why not? Just devalue the dollar and screw the public.
Look, the irony is thicker than a Biden nap schedule: Democrats love to shriek about every perceived Trump "scandal" like it's the end of democracy, but when their own side pulls the same stunts? Deafening silence. It's the ultimate "rules for thee but not for me" playbook. And right now, with the markets roaring back and Trump stacking wins abroad, their crickets are practically composing a symphony. Trump's Masterclass in Dealmaking: Securing America's Future Forget the headlines peddling doom—Trump's back in the game, and he's already wheeling and dealing like the Art of the Deal never left. Just this year, he's locked in critical mineral pacts that could be worth trillions over time, prying open supply chains China has choked for decades. We're talking rare earths, lithium, titanium—the stuff that powers EVs, jets, and your next iPhone without begging Beijing.
Ukraine: In April 2025, after some tough-love diplomacy, the U.S. snagged preferential access to over 100 deposits of key minerals. This isn't charity; it's a smart hedge tying American investment to Ukraine's stability, potentially unlocking billions in resources to offset aid costs. Australia: A fresh $8.5 billion pact signed this month gives U.S. firms dibs on vast reserves, including a new Pentagon-backed gallium refinery in the west. Down Under's all in on countering China, and Trump's the closer. Japan: Today—October 28, 2025—Trump inked a framework with PM Sanae Takaichi for joint mining, stockpiling, and geolocating reserves. It's a direct shot at China's 90% stranglehold on rare earth processing. Southeast Asia: Stops in Malaysia and Thailand yielded MOUs for unrestricted rare earth exports and supply chain pacts. Trump's Asia tour is turning the region into a mineral buffet, with more on deck for Indonesia.
These aren't photo-ops; they're strategic body blows to adversaries and boosters for U.S. manufacturing. While Dems dithered on supply chains, the dealmaker delivered. Trillions? Yeah, that's not hyperbole—these assets fuel the green tech boom and defense tech for decades. The Market Rollercoaster: From Dem Schadenfreude to Reality Check Remember earlier this year? S&P 500 tanked nearly 20% from its February peak, bottoming around early April at about 4,983 amid tariff jitters and trade war fears. Dems were popping champagne, crowing "I told you so" like the economy was DOA under Trump 2.0. Fast-forward to now: From that low, the index has rocketed over 37%, smashing records (28 new highs YTD alone). Year-to-date as of October 28? A solid 18% gain, turning early panic into pure profit for anyone who didn't bail.
@BS1000 - I don't have a clue where or who you plagiarized that pot of bull from but you should have left it in the toilet where you found it. At the very least give credit to who did write it.
Spot on @Mark. Politics aside, this is not FD’s writing. But it’s not something in the current press either as far as I could tell. (Does sound a lot like Tucker Carlson to me). I ran it through a text analyzer and an AI detector. The text analyzer flagged 22% as likely AI generated. The dedicated AI detector, however, says 96% appears to be AI generated. My guess is that FD found this on a social media site like TruthSocial, Facebook or X and probably didn’t know it’s AI garbage.
"My guess is that FD found this on a social media site like TruthSocial, Facebook or X and probably didn’t know it’s AI garbage."
FD1000 cares not if his posts are AI garbage or if they are factually inaccurate. His only requirement is that the story must be favorable towards his "team" — the Republican party — and/or it's "glorious leader," Donald J. Trump.
And FullyDuped1000% IS PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN !!!
He's got his. Fascinating how these people come to the United States from somewhere else, make their money here, and then applaud the destruction of OUR country…

You are correct.
I've found his veracity to be highly questionable.

Minions like Fully Duped will parrot what is drummed into their minds daily by the talking heads at FoxNews. RESULT: Brainwashed.
And hey, if the economy is not doing well, just stop issuing economic reports!!!! I trust nothing that this is released under this admin anyway.
Thieves and liars run the show.
