Found dead TOGETHER? Sounds quite unusual. I'm saddened. One of three dogs was found dead, too. Arakawa sounds Native Hawaiian. Anyone know for sure? I know someone here with that surname. ....Edit to add: yup, I was right. I'm so smart, I hate myse…
Washington Free Beacon. Honestly? The slogan under their template transparently expresses their pre-tainted point of view. Joe Friday used to say: "Just the facts, Ma'am."
MAGA couldn't identify a FACT if it kicked them in the ass. It's all spin: …

Nisha Patel: 10-Year may well be offering a lower yield by year-end. "Close to 4 or sub-4%."
Michael Goosay: Outlook is for slowing growth, moderating inflation, and the Fed could be more active than what's priced into the Market. 4…
Just due to age, I'm decreasing equities some, and the bonds are a tad bigger than my equities now. Growing cash in MM, but that's for an earmarked expenditure later in the year.
Markets over and over show themselves to be amoral and apolitical. As…

Have you tried the MSN link WABAC posted above?
Works for me...

"Shown above are the rankings for 2024 and 5 years (all #1 to #5, then only selected families).
There are also tables for 10 years and for each category - 5 best and …
...Circling back to the Musk email demanding the 5-item list: Orange Pus answered a reporter's question and specifically mentioned that "we don't know if some of those people even exist." That is plainly and obviously Conspiracy Theory 101. The best…
Workforce layoffs, both private and public sector. (Or firings.) Take some time to ripple through the economy. The inflation report today came in, in line with expectations. By now, I think the FED is dreaming, with their 2% inflation goal, unless w…
First generation immigrants are hard pressed to learn English. Their kids who grow up here do much better. Something about brain-mapping. I don't understand it. I always thought all of those silent letters in French were very pesky. In Spanish, you …
Zelensky is the real leader. The Orange Tool is doing Putin's bidding. Also, the Orange Schmuck wants the "glory" of a Nobel Peace Prize. Peace at what cost? (Sure, just let him have the Sudetenland. And, oh yeah: the rest of the continent, too.) Tr…
Stinks. All part of the coup. Big Money and Gummint in bed with each other. The rest of us can go screw. Any hint that gummint is supposed to serve the citizenry is GONE. Democracy? Don't look anywhere around the USA. Extinguished. Fascist Oligarchy…

Supposed to replace EB-5 visa. Allegedly a faster-track to citizenship. How nice it will be to have the lovely and splendid Russian oligarchs in our midst. Nothing to see here. What could go wrong? ORK..... The reason they're oligarchs is that they …
Exactly.
Someone smarter than me said the market runs on fear or greed. It will run on greed until, as JD says, “we least expect it.” Fear and greed are real and powerful,,, so when the switch is flipped watch out.
No shame. None. From every angle, the Oligarchy extends its influence in order to serve itself. De-fund everything, so then everything must be privatized. Then there's no accountability. Just moneymaking opportunities for those who already possess t…
Nah, we should put our trust in a guy who backs Putin and regurgitates Russian propaganda - i.e. dictatorship accusations towards Zelensky.
That's the guy we should stand behind.
yeah ...
Is it not astounding that with today's UN vote, Russi…
A friend is here on Oahu on official business with Homeland Security. Meeting counterparts from Canada, Japan, Oz, NZ and S. Korea. He received uncle Elon's email, too. He replied with a picture of himself relaxing on the beach.

MAGA voters have pretty much zero ability to think critically, or to foresee the evil they are voting for. They managed to elect a felon-criminal, and thought he'd be the better choice? Ask E. Jean Carroll what it feels like now.
You speak truth, sadly. It has come to me very recently that the Orange Tool is utterly and completely OWNED by the Poot-slime. The Russians have something on the Criminal now living in the White House...

...And around and around we go. Never address the point being made. As Robt. McNamara said in "Fog of War:" "Don't answer the question you were asked; answer the question you wish you were asked." Shit.
Sadly, I can come up with no counter-argument against the disappearance of this democracy, sped along by a military held hostage by replacement loyalty to the Orange Felon. Presumably, at least some Units will remember their oath to the Constitution…
Not until they feel the prolonged pain in their communities and more importantly in their pocketbooks. It will also take them having to admit that they were fooled, that will surely be harder.
Most will never be able to do that. Inertia rules. It wi…
@Anna you just opened a can of worms. Which of the SCOTUS Justices said, "I can't define pornography, but I know it when I see it?" I do know that a goodly chunk of the "woke" agenda being reacted against is the gender-bending nonsense. Yes, there …
Aren't high-yield spreads tight and rather unattractive?
On that basis, yes. That's what everyone is saying. I've done well, sticking with my ill-timed choice to get into Junk just before 2022 arrived. I rode it down, then back up, reinvesting all d…
The false narrative Orwellian Double-speak that's going on is very real and very useful to the Orange criminal, authoritarian coup d'etat regime. It's been present in US politics for decades already (at least for decades!) re: various bills in the H…
LOL. In the ongoing conversation, Talking Heads have been saying that the Junk yields are attractive compared to the more volatile equity market. Of my 47% of portfolio that's in bonds, I'm at 49% in Junk. My earmarked Junk funds (2) comprise 26.82%…
