Chicks dig me because I rarely have any shorts on, but when I do they're something unusual.
Sorry, could not help myself.
...I think we all owe a big round of applause to our newest and bestest buddy (and Big Toe,) Sgt. Hulka.

Ukraine talks without Zelenskyy is a comical farce. The Orange Criminal Farce is pushing the EU to do more on their own. EU defence stocks are already running higher. You might chase that wave. If I had a mind to invest in defense stocks, I'd steer …
If the FED is worried at all about inflation, as shown in the PPI, there ought to be no rate cut at all, yet, until a downward TREND over several months is seen. But I've always been a minority of one.
I appreciate all that. I guess a good bit of it just does not apply, because (until there is a substantial change) we pay no federal income tax? Haven't, for years....
Hey, your Brownshirt has some of your lunch on it. Go find a Chinese laundry. Oops, there are no more Chinese laundries.
"Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away."
I'd be willing to bet a good number of us HERE at MFO are indeed sitting on as much in the way of equities as we desire, at the moment. I'm not adding. That's ONE vote. I do reinvest dividends. In such a case, I'm using The House's money to gain a s…
Tariffs, yes. But as noted above, there will be legal delays, denials, deflections... All adding up to a lengthy slog through the courts, and then higher courts, before anything even approaches being rescinded. What we have already, without it being…
Wife owns a different share class through Schwab of the very first one on that list. Confirmation bias. Nice to see. Class F1 via Schwab is no-load. BALFX.
Smells like Mao's cultural revolution. With a side order of fascism. White WASPS are the Master Race, dontcha know? I got my bag full of rocks and a monkey wrench. Where are all of those Jewish shop windows, now? Let's get started! Eh? We're all goo…
Maybe Cheeto’s preparing for the midterms?
oh, they're doing it in countless ways and in many directions. Fast and furious, so no one can keep up with it. Conscience-less sleazebags.
Excerpt:
"...A political campaign fund cannot pay a candidate’s personal legal bills. But Trump found a loophole: a campaign fund can be converted into a political-action committee, and the looser restrictions on a PAC allow the use of donor funds t…

Unlimited shamelessness. ...Remember that news story exposing the fact that the address of some outfit selling his watches was nothing but a PO Box in Wyoming? I gotta go find that again, now. Orange oink oink.

Hmmmm. This reads like a stream of consciousness James Joyce novel. Lots of wishy-washy remarks. Coulda woulda shoulda. Contrast it with one of the Buffett-Munger conversations or what D. Giroux has to say. Eh?
What I see happening, including this garbage, is causing me to be just utterly demoralized. I suppose it is all baked-in, all part of their plan. "Flood the zone." A blitzkrieg of assaults upon democracy, upon public institutions, upon the levers of…
I'll give it a listen this morning. Giroux is the Master. I have kept PRWCX at a hair over 40% of total, and added PRCFX at about 14% of total. Yes, surely there is overlap, but I wanted to take advantage of his knowledge and acumen while owning mor…
He is SO full of shit. Why aren't the whites of his eyes all brown? Such a CHILDISH bunch of pap. While he himself is totally self-absorbed and learned nothing in school.
Just see how much you can get away with. Because you possess a majority, barely. As I noted elsewhere, we are witnessing the limits of our system when those involved do not care about operating in good faith. The framers could never have anticipated…
self-coup, where the executive branch is usurping the judicial and legislative branches.
Next time you tell me something, make it news. ORK. Disgraceful. And the Repugnants have become mere spectators, on The Hill. Slash and burn. Just because they…
If I were you, I'd figure they don't deserve my money and then I'd move it all elsewhere. Nowhere--- no corporation, no company or business deserves my money anymore; but some situations are just plain egregious.
Growing Chinese-like control, politicizing agencies. They all become subordinate to the ruling Party. And the courts are even more and more captive. This is what I've been saying, in spades: the Repugnant Party is operating as a subversive, treasono…
Fear and intimidation are strong tools, but usually reserved for dictatorships.
The US Govt is now our (own) biggest bully. A litigious president that sues everybody in sight, plus has both the Supreme Court and the DOJ at his disposal.
Tariffs…

There was "hell to pay" - 18,000 dead Palestinian children. Many from starvation. Trump and his cohorts are welcome to take full credit.
Uncle Joe's Admin must own a bunch of the credit, too.
Utterly despicable. As has been noted, the Orange Puke has no conception of what government is; he only sees the benjamins. This is by now a mafia-ocracy, like Putin's Russian gov't. Don't tell me you think that's a coincidence.
If that is the case, point the finger at the ground maintenance crew, yes? Airlines typically outsource those jobs. Would it help in the future to require airlines to do their OWN maintenance work? There'd be more accountability that way. I know AA …
Screw that ... My store 'savings club' cards all have roughly the same information .... all of which are pemutations of historical presidents' names and the White House address, just in a different quadrant of DC. (Stores don't care!)
I like your …
Surely, they'll drop. But the talking heads I hear mostly think Powell and the Fed will cut just once this year. With all the zany junk going on in the Orange regime, will they even go that far with rates? Seems to me that Powell is focused on provi…
Sometimes local groceries have “sale prices” posted on items (in big numbers). But the very fine print on the tag says you need to “clip” a coupon somewhere - I assume with your cell phone at their company website. So I pass on such items and buy…
