Hi @Sven . I noted previous and continue to feel that until the big head slap arrives hard and strong; the 'believers' will rely on blogs, feeds and the tv channels they like to feed upon.
Hi @fred495 and @Observant1 Thank you for the articles/links.
I'm sure the UAW pro-Trumpee's (who were about to have a love-fest in public with the Donald) while at a recent rally in Warren, MI are still self assured all will be well, given enoug…
Hi @Derf
A tv news program did a short story about the 'cow pie contest' a number of years ago...perhaps CBS Sunday Morning. Ah, the midwesterners finding ways to release 'stress'. :)
Hi @Mark and @Old_Joe
When I was a young'in growing up up in the countryside with many farms in the area; one very small farm belonged to an uncle and grandpa of friends at the time. One adventure during the hot months of summer was to gather some o…
Hi @Anna @Observant1 et al A must view from The Daily Show from Thursday. The video is 11 minutes and all of it is worth watching, but the Pam Bondi section starts at about the 7 minute, 15 second time frame. Connect HERE.

Off the thread subject, but issue resolved. @davidrmoran and @Crash
Okay. Not the page I had months ago; but the numbers for all candidates are HERE. Scroll down a bit for the NATIONAL totals. You'll have to do the math and possibilities with numb…
This is the LAST ONE of the series. Hoping the numbers helped a bit.

Hi @Old_Joe
To add, that the coding Falcon/Accipiter used was very comprehensive for the time period. It is my/our understanding that the MFO site host has had to make changes on their end for upgrades. The original coding stills functions, but with…
Hi @hank To the best of my knowledge, Michigan is the only state that has this real estate tax inflation protection (noted below). And areas not too far from you have seen vast property value rises in the past twenty years for new purchases. A hot …
SPECIAL ADD FOR TODAY: With most investment sectors today being happy, one may suppose that it is no surprise that the Marijuana etf, MJ advanced today, +10.5%. So, be it a doobie, whacky weed or the 20 or so names..........light em up, eh? OR NOT. …

Hi @Old_Joe and @stillers
I always do my best to NOT place any link that is not 'official' or 'real', unless the site is intended for some other purpose (comedy, etc).

Hi @AndyJ
After we saw the first few pictures after she started her 'job'; with the full vest and weapons ready, we thought that she was getting ready to be in the next Sports Illustrated calendar or perhaps a calendar issued by a state militia grou…
NO, that must have been someone else in Michigan you heard screaming today !!!
AND, for today only (Monday, April 21); although you've probably already looked. Pretty NASTY down day in pricing. Only Short duration, MINT; remained unchanged from Fr…
Hi @stillers Thank you for the info. One can imagine the 'junior' attempting to outrun the quality of a David Attenborough (Planet Earth and other) or the 43 years of Nature on PBS. I'll refrain from descriptive words I could use for such a proje…
The community name with the most important relevance to these events is Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. Yes? I had the pleasure of lunch and and a tour of this small community 1973, while on a driving tour from the mid-west and and headed towards…

AND, for today only (Wednesday, April 16, 6 pm); although you've probably already looked. Decent gains in light of recent events. Bonds acted a bit more 'normal', relative to the equities sell off today. ADD: Fed. Chair Powell stated today, that the…
I read the description at the site. It only mentions the 'learning impaired' mode. It appears there is a 'dumb down' switch in the back for those in need. @Derf , you wouldn't need this feature, nor the vast majority here.
@hank Thanks.....Talking President Predictor.
This should/would require a Wi-Fi enabled device in order to perform 'firmware burn' or 'flash update' in order to keep the message up to date. One would expect to have to 'flash' the firmware several …
Lawrence O Donnell, on MSNBC. We watch his program every night. A most knowledgeable and scholarly gentleman. We discussed some of his background in OT last year. He's been there and done that.....West Wing, the tv series stands out; among many achi…

I'll add 'YUP' to this...........
