Prime rib roast rules at our dinner. Family and friends are asked to fill in around the edges with ethnic sides widely encouraged. To that end I make a traditional Polish dish Kapusta using my grandmothers recipe, and a cranberry bread recipe from a…
Whatever peace deal is presented will be of no good or value as long as Ukraine is left out of the process. How is that even acceptable or justified. Besides, if the so called deal is packaged neither buttkin or trump can be expected to stand behind…
I do both depending on which holding is distributing the cash. Most of my distributions originate in my Roth account where currently taxation is of no concern.
For single equities I generally take the cash and reinvest it where I think it might do …
I must also respectfully disagree with @hank. To an incoming recruit the UCMJ hovers over one's head like a sledge hammer because it looks like the laws are stacked against them despite what the good book says. Many of the youngsters have trouble wi…
AOC on MTG retiring:
"She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office. She is saying a lot but her ACTIO…
This guy is the US Transportation Secretary and how people dress is his focus?! Does he know anything about the job he's supposed to be doing? Priorities have left the building.
Meanwhile back at the ranch "House Speaker Mike Johnson announces that…
How did MicroStrategy not make that list? I'm guessing that it's because they are neither an institution or a hedge fund. Anyway on 9/1/2025 they held $68B and to the best of my limited knowledge they've been buying ever since.
With thanks to Andy Borowitz:
"WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Donald J. Trump boasted on Thursday that his funeral will draw a “much bigger crowd” than former Vice President Dick Cheney’s......(to be held today)
“Dick Cheney, who was a loser and …
Or what, are they going to scold her with bad words? The whole of the repugnant party has been feckless all along since 47 was elected and now they are all high and mighty? I've got to wonder what's behind the curtain other than them coming to the r…
Depending upon how deep one wants to go into the weeds this is a Substack post from Civil Discourse with Joyce Vance (no relation to the VP). Ms. Vance is a former United States Attorney, currently a law professor and a legal analyst for MSNBC.

FWIW - I could not access the MFO site for about an hour this morning. The web message I received said that my browser (Safari) was working, the host (MFO) server was working but Cloudflare (some kind of go between I guess) was not functioning prope…
I agree as well. I would like to take a look at their monthly spending reports before getting all judgmental but these are likely the same folks who say I should make my own coffee, pack a lunch, eat at home, not have pets, repair my old vehicle etc…
Watching tonights Monday Night Football I sure miss the original trio of Cosell, Meredith, and Gifford and/or equally the Madden & Michaels duo. I think they just added to the excitement of the game.
@DrVenture who said: "I do a lot of yard care with a 1/2 acre and more than a dozen trees. I actually like the exercise and satisfaction of the process. It can get labor intensive in the fall though. I have already put out over 100 yard waste bags s…
I've near given up trying to figure out what "X" is worth vs. what "X" is currently selling for or priced at whether it be the mag7 or AI-related equities or gold or crypto coins you name it. None of it seems real to me but here we are.
Heather Cox Richardson from Letters from an American, November 16, 2025
"In Lincoln’s day, and in the Gilded Age, and in the 1930s, Americans pushed back against those trying to establish an aristocracy in the United States. That project appears to…
“Raping slightly older children doesn’t make you a pedo” is totally something people who don’t rape kids would say. Right?
Megyn Kelly Eviscerated Over Epstein Remark
I've been wondering if WB let the portfolio go static and the cash build up to go out on a calm note and let Mr. Abel take the reins of a fresh horse. It will be interesting to see what transpires although it could just be business as usual.
