...And now, the ones tracking it all down have come under investigation or charges. Black is white. White is black. Right is wrong. How many fingers am I holding up, Winston? And what if the Party says 2+2= FIVE? What THEN, Winston?
Still, Letitia …

She's not seceded from MAGA. And they are all complicit in the coup d'etat from within.
3 co-equal branches of gummint? That works just fine, when those involved are working in good faith. The USA just does not have that anymore, until there …
He wants to be a king. This gold obsession will make the place resemble the Tsar's winter palace in St. Petersburg. Gross and brutishly overdone, an affront to taxpayers in a (formerly) "free" country. (LOUD start:)
I had some trouble yesterday for just a few moments, trying to get to the Portf. Mgr. It was after a Mac update! I just tried it 2:47 p.m. Eastern Time, just now, and the notice is still up, but I can get to that page with no issues and even look at…
Indeed this up and down TACO "negotiating position" is forcing the rest of the world to realize that the US is no longer a trustworthy trading or defense partner. Even with DJT out of office, why would you sign a treaty or agreement, knowing with t…
The Orange Idiot doesn't understand how government works. Revisions are not 'fraud' or 'tampering' .... but that's all his little peabrain seems to fathom, so of course it must be 'fraud' designed to make him look bad,
Immature, narcissistic, inse…

Question - What does one need in a bathroom?
Ethan Allen returned to England after the war, and the British made fun of him. One day they put a picture of George Washington in an outhouse where Allen would be sure to see it. He used the out…
Bring me that Orange lard-bomb lying, soul-less "President" with the nun-ankles. I'm going to eat his face.
*"Nun-ankles" was our irreverent moniker for the typical nun's physique: they all had legs which ended at the feet. No ankles at all. (Is he…
How is the the U.S. "winning" here? Of course, we are not. But we all knew the answer to that one. If this country survives this 2nd Orange term, we will be vastly diminished in countless ways. So much of the bullshit has been done under the cover …
Just back home after being stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues again. No, wait. I was stuck in L.A. waiting for my re-booked flight after the non-tsunami event. Anyhow, it gave me a chance to connect with my son, who lives in the L.A. burb…
Hawaiian Electric is still in the public relations toilet after the Maui fires, but only lately there was a news story about bills coming down because they got a better deal from a materials provider in order to make and distribute electricity to cu…
Just before walking through the newfangled stupid security machine in which you must hold up your arms, the lovely and gorgeous TSA guy will take your picture. Another new Big Brother tactic. As I stood in front of the camera, I smiled and said: "Sm…
The majority on the Hill just does not care any longer. They represent nothing but their own vested interests. How many are millionaires, on The Hill? Answer: most of them.
@Crash
You seem to be very fond of T. Rowe Price.
Not that there is anything wrong with that...

It's familiar, and so are those funds, that's all. I've been pleased with them. I sold out of TUHYX and PRCPX to buy the Weitz core-plus offering wh…
Thanks for sharing with the rest of us. My single-stocks are behaving like contrarians today. ET has been stinky. I think natgas/oil market has been flooded, and with low prices. Earnings coming on Aug 6 or 8. Public statements make promises. "Where…

The stablecoin accounts have 24/7 access from anywhere in the world & may be great for international travelers. They would also lead to democratization of the dollar in that dollar-backed stablecoins can be held by anyone anywhere.

...Just tried LIBBY. They show Don Glickstein's book. (Yorktown.) I was invited to get a card. (My own library system HERE does not have the book.) But the lovely tool will not let me leave Michigan. Ork? What to do?
Disgusting, jettisoning the non-partisan character of SSA. Between the Repugnants and Demublicans, SSA remains underfunded. They'll finally do something (stupid) at the last minute, before it defaults. Same old same old.
