"...Wish-casting or otherwise holding on to obsolete ideas, fantasies and fictions will not accomplish the extremely difficult work of trying to win elections (assuming there are even “free and fair” midterm and presidential elections in 2026 and 20…
I'm permanently signed-into M*. I went to my portfolio at M* and attempted to get that list. They already have my email. But I was told on the website: "no results." Typical.
Wonder if the Greenland custom officers could just grab the national security adviser and whoever else and ship them off somewhere. The US showed them how to do it.
Love THAT idea.
Comment: Some states, like Kentucky and South Carolina, voted heavily for exactly what they are getting.

I do hope it bites them all in the ass. Or somewhere more vital.
@Junkster- The problem there is that non MAGA Republicans are currently completely unrepresented in Congress. They're in even worse shape than we (nominal) Democrats.
@Old_Joe. Could not agree more and why my distaste for him and those of his ilk g…
He sure wasn't great but probably better than whoever Trump and Musk send over there.
Trump has publicly suggested he'll place the USPS under the Commerce Dept. umbrella. Smells of privatization. Scummy, wrong, sucky, bad.
I would certainly be happier with MODERATES in charge: true Republicans, not Repugnants--- along with Demublicans. The majority of the Democrats have over the past decades truly turned toward the Right, which is a shame. But it would certainly be be…
Enjoyed that, almost. He's straightforward. I'm less optimistic. He's not exactly euphoric, anyhow. The item of advice Ms. Mack offered at the end is quite important.
Signal? I dunno why The Orange Goons don't just use that 1-900 phone line out of Tulsa. You can talk to Risen Jesus personally; get it straight from the horse's mouth. The trouble these days is those pesky immigrants who do physically challenging la…
OOPS, lumping Haiti together with Spanish-speaking countries was a mistake. But it does not change my point. Pass the Kool-Aid, please. Who is HE--LO? Someone get Jeffrey Goldberg on the line for me. I have a scoop for him. I was just on the phone w…
I note SWVXX is down to 4.15% yield. Still attractive to me. I'm still adding in dribs and drabs. The savings account at the credit union is used simply as a sleeve to tuck money into for a particular purpose; it will be spent in a matter of months.
Limit order is in for slightly below today's closing price in BLX. Just a handful of shares, using dividend money, paid today.
*EDIT TO ADD: yes, the order was executed this morning, Hawaii Time. A small remainder of the dividend given yesterday is…
It is ALL alarming, but to say that is by now an understatement. "Disappearing" people also includes simply canceling their legally permitted status to be in the USA. Did you see that Venezuelans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, Salvadorans have had their TP…
Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic magazine: (per The Hill.)
...He wrote that he initially had strong doubts the text group was real, “because I could not believe that the national-security leadership of the United States would communicate on Signal a…
I'm not surprised to hear this about USPS. Sadly, it's become just plain bad. Deliberately. Louis DeJoy was appointed by Orange Felon, with a mission to destroy it. Much progress has been made. Lately, after being supremely shamed by a Congressional…
