"Gabbard is stunningly unqualified for almost any Cabinet post (as are some of Trump’s other picks), but especially for ODNI. She has no qualifications as an intelligence professional—literally none."
Isn't that a pre-requisite for a Trump selectio…
"He was convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in connection with a hush money payment made to porn actor Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election to conceal an affair, which he denies."
Hoping someone can explain to me how a…

" Trump Media & Technology: Shares of Truth Social's parent company slid more than 7% premarket, on pace to extend Wednesday’s 22% loss. The stock has proved volatile as the election nears."
CBS news reported last night that one of those fires destroyed a hundred or two ballots. What happens? Do they let the population know that if you dropped your ballot in that box you're SOL?
My guess is that buyers are betting on a 45 win. I wouldn't touch that toxic waste anywhere between $0.00 and $1000. I will love to see what happens if he loses.
As a point, I own a few BDC's and have been quite happy with how they have performed for me so far. Never expected much in the way of capital gains but you need to be a buyer at the right time and market circumstances. I own them for the income - AR…
+1 @hank,
Most negative ads are borderline to mostly bs and I don';t believe that they do much of anything other than rile the opposing side up. However, 45 and his allies have shown repeatedly that if you tell a lie often enough many folks are goi…
This should be a great series just because of the history of the two organizations. However for me I merely wish players stay on the teams they started with rather than which ever organization has the most money wins and/or gets the talent. I don't …
MORE than I care about tariffs, immigration policies, economic policies, crime and so on, I care about the "character" of the individual that I am entrusting to create and implement changes and/or adjustments to said issues of concern. How much lar…

@catch22, @Old_Joe thanks for the history and stories. I spent half my morning trying to imagine being a 20-something year old kid placed there back in the day when you guys were. Fascinating places Kwajalein & Meck islands but I have this thing…

@Old_Joe who said "It should be noted that the defective part was sold to Boeing by Collins Aerospace — an aerospace manufacturer that supplies Boeing." It is however a subsidiary of RTX Corporation not usually known for those types of issues.
I sometimes wonder how many maga's own Tesla's or connect via star-link or consume anything Musk related. Musk seems to be all about the $$$ and influence. What happens when he falls out of 45's orbit?
Good call @sma3. Was looking at OKLO myself but didn't pull the trigger.
Instead I sold equal $$ amt's of BIAWX & POAGX and took a stake in NRDCX. First outright bond fund I've ever owned outside of CEF's We'll see I guess.
Just a side note, the MFO board is not the only ones watching this circus. For the last 3-4 weeks it seems like the stock has been featured in at least one article/day in Barrons.
True that @Crash. The last thing I want is having the courts decide who wins.
ISTM and correct me if I'm wrong, that the last time vote counts were an issue pre-45 was the hanging chad biz in FL. Since he lost in 2020 suddenly all counts are suspec…
