Hi @Old_Joe Thank you for the 'Post' post.
For so many of us here, who grew up and worked through a generally high standard of ethics at many levels and in many areas; 'HE' is so destructive. An overwhelmingly sad example of a 'human'.
DHS has a 'Facebook page'. Some the language for 'hiring' is:
Your nation needs you to step into the breach. For our country, for our culture, for our way of life. Will you answer the call?
Hi @hank Flight Simulator had a program portion that was flying WWI aircraft in a war setting. That was also very simple and fun. It helped me learn about 'stall speeds' when moving too slow and tight turn banking. Flight Simulator was a challenge.…
@DrVenture
How about this? This was fun, although I never had enough time.

Hi @a2z This is related to someone's theoretical investing. Perhaps his 'base' folks. They may believe in charts without a basis for input. Fools, one and all.
I happened to see this on the tube. Quite the dog and pony show.

Hi @Anna One could guess the contract is well written, with a lot of 'therefore', 'however' and similar loophole words 'not' in your favor. Worst case is that you would on the bad side of ICE and may become 'disappeared', eh?
Have a pleasant rema…
Okay, so; I review two right wing sites for the daily dribble. The 'hot' item now is that that the 'old' COVID vaccine has caused 20 million deaths; supposedly from cardiac problems. And that ongoing cardiac problems are in place for a lot of those …
Hi @gman57
I remain concerned about the 'given authority' to some of these folks. There remain problems with reporting standards for local police hires who come to a 'new' community while leaving a prior record of problems elsewhere. Some folks sho…

Reports indicate that Argentina, a traditionally beef-exporting nation, is now importing beef due to the economic policies implemented by President Javier M…
The whole place is going to resemble a 'bordello'. The Oval Office already looks like the check in lobby area for a 'bordello'. Beyond the monies spent, what a shame for the whole thing.
Hi @Old_Joe
The below is a very good overview. The report is widely followed, and the data is announced and discussed at/on Bloomberg and CNBC tv business programs, and others.

As the BLS agency provides data to Social Security to establish COLA for SS (and others), might it be expected that SS COLA (set in October) may be flat or negative for recipients; effectively stating that there is no inflation? Perhaps this functio…
Hi @Observant1 NO. I didn't feel you were 'picking' on the health investments. I was more or less writing 'out loud' how we have attempted to justify investment sectors for our overall portfolio of 'everything', which includes all the other stuff, …
I would like to see this turned around for the sake of 'rule of law', and many other reasons.
LAST for tonight. SOON the U.S. will be surrounded by the TARIFF curtain. 42 minutes.
Hi @Observant1 I fully agree about the lobbying; and the money that is spent on 'ads'.
Part of our thoughts about where to invest comes from where is the demand?
We knew and watched prior generations and the monies that were going towards health…
Hi @Old_Joe Apparently, there is a delay of the newest tariffs. Reportedly, if your watch ships prior to August 8th, you're good to go. Canada's new 35% rate apparently isn't clear what the new rate will apply towards.
AND, The White House also ha…
Canada just got bumped to 35%, as T is pissed about Carney stating that Canada would support a Palestine state, with conditions; at the upcoming NATO meeting.
Hi @JD_co
Does the Big Beautiful con job sabotage the Bull market?
More so now than a short time ago, I do believe.
Europe has been soft for several trading days, after the very large gains. Many Global sectors were downward today (Thursday).
The 'whacks'.......such a dangerous circumstance, as 'the rule of law' becomes smaller. He'll be in line for the Supreme when Thomas goes bye-bye. The Heavens, help us.

Speech in Scotland earlier today (Sunday). IMO the reporters questions wandered away from the subject matter, as has been common too often. Past this there was a lot of wandering in the speech, too; which has also been common. The eyes and ears of t…
