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.
I'm sure the 'next' has been a thought, over time, among many here. We've talked about this during the marches/protests last year; regarding some of the 'locals', at that time. Obviously, the escalation is at another level now. Whatever actions are …
Written by Peter Cetera. I remember him! Lots of stuff in the '80s. Duets with the ladies: Cher, Amy Grant. (So gorgeous, A.G. I wanted to have her children. I first was introduced to her through her contemporary religious music.)
I was 15 in '69. But I did get to the Watkins Glen thing. The Band, Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers. 28 July, '73. Nineteenth birthday. Took the parents' station wagon.

A.I.: "War Pigs" is an anti-war protest song by English heavy metal band Black Sabbath, serving as the opening track on their second studio album, Paranoid, released in 1970.
The song was inspired by the Vietnam War, which was ongoing at the …
I think that pic of the Orange Menace is actually his MUG-SHOT (?) Edited, to leave out the reference to Georgia Law Enforcement. Criminal Felon slime. My friend lately was sworn in as a citizen of the USA. At the Federal Building, it looked like th…
Maybe trump thinks he gets the Iranian oil fields, once he "takes control" and dictates terms.
@Crash Excellent poem. I always appreciate the work of "e". One might say that this work has direct bearing on Ukraine today, as trump "twitches a libe…

Ya, saw that. News to me, most of it. Those pathetic wankers are schoolyard weakling bullies who want to feel important. Just give 'em a badge and a mask. And a gun. Motherlovers.
Comments: I'm amazed that certain people of Jewish descent unquestionably endorse Trump's actions.
Segments of Trump's support base (potentially large?) loathe all Jews based strictly on ethnicity.
I guess this unusual phenomenon only occurs when th…
So, I just looked at EWJ, the iShares ETF. It's at a 52-week high on 12 January, '26. Much room left to run? Maybe get in before the expected snap-election? More recent performance numbers are better than the long-term numbers with EWJ. Surely, the …
If anyone needed to better understand just how nervous trump's own tariffs are starting to make trump, just look at him applying ONLY 25% tariffs on countries doing business with Iran. Weak sauce. He threatens them, bombs them and then goes with onl…
I LOVE dat shit!
Here's another: From the days of The Troubles in Ireland. Glad that's in the past! Written by Tommy Makem, who routinely toured with the Clancy Brothers. A pity that subtitles are not available. "Lord Nelson:"
Orange Clown Car. Every.Single.Day. The Marquee should read:
"How to f**k up a country and make Uncle Vlad extremely happy in the process."
Oh, ya. I almost forgot: EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN.
The Orange regime, including its D.O.L, is a massive bucket of three-week-old spooge. They want no regulations, no oversight at all, because of course, Big Money can be trusted to police itself..... Right????? Alan Greenspan told us that. You should…
I am laughing, reading this thread. No need to add. The Orange Wunderkind (LOL) just can't hit a target! Judges all over the place are reversing his decisions. He sends ICE around the country, only alienating nearly everyone. Windfarm off R.I. coast…
And he created an emergency-by-fiat the other day, in an attempt to keep Venez. oil assets out of the reach of the courts. Orange FUBAR doink-head. CRIMINAL doink-head. And the hits just keep on coming.
