Ork? A hired, private vetting agency? I guess I ought not be surprised. Bessent might be the only non-crazy, non-weird-ass nomination. I dread the next 4 years.
....Well, can't have litigation hanging over a President's head. Nothing else to do. Sucks mightily. Sucks prodigiously. Sucks like a Hoover, like a dozen Hoovers. A felon criminal Orange Pig-fart got himself elected, again. This says a great deal a…
Yes, total agreement here. They are out there. They can be found. Driving home from Quebec City once, many moons ago. I told my girlfriend to pick up the map and see how far we were just then from the USA border.
She looked, put her thumb and index…
Some years ago, a 6th grade class was shown a map of Texas with only the contours, the shape, the borders. No towns, no rivers marked. Most guessed it was Brazil.
I bet they're old enough to vote by now.
But let's be fair: us guys can testify that…
sadly missing the unique opp to differ much more in mkt cap and foreign.
But my understanding is that the PRWCX and TCAF mandate is domestic. 1.87% foreign. I prefer domestic. That's enough foreign for me.
WBALX Conserv. Alloc. fund is 4.32 % of my total. Your post above prompted me to look:
It's 44% stocks, 47% fixed income. And 8.25% cash, but almost 5% short. And it's overweight in materials, compared to its Index. 10.5% in Materials.

There is no chance that there will be a cease fire before January 20, 2025. There is 100% chance that there will be a cease fire within 30 days after January 20. This has been predetermined by the two criminals.
Sickening, but I expect you are corre…

Embattled former congressman Matt Gaetz, who withdrew his bid to be President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general on Thursday, said in an interview Friday that he doesn’t intend to return to his House seat in the next con…
Don't even get me started. My favorite phrase lately, when challenging some automated system's error: "How many other people's jobs do I have to do in order to get this thing accomplished?"
Not the US. Hamas, yes. Bibi, no. Despicable and unspeakable, what's going on. The Israeli cabinet is saying the quiet part out loud, by now: annexation.
Well, night and day. We see the world utterly differently. More's the pity. I'm no Dem. They seem not only inept to me, they have some crazy Woke agendas, too. Yet the Repugnants did not become repugnant to me for no reason: no soul. No rudder. No e…
Yes, I see what you mean. Yet he was elected, and will be inaugurated. The Founding Fathers surely figured that voters would not be feckless and spineless enough to elect (again!) a twice-impeached, convicted FELON. So, they did not disqualify crimi…
