Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
Utterly tactless. The child in any room. Bellicose, melodramatic. The Orange Drama Queen in a suit. And he was elected TWICE. Any wonder that our (former?) largest trading partner is currently developing alternative, reliable new trading partners???…
The cult insulates itself from reality very effectively, blocking Reality like an interior lineman. Playing victim, always. If the stakes were not so vital, it would be pathetic.
...And who can say whether Trumpster encouraged himself to leave G-7 early, following the Carney step-in on the Orange rant about Russia and "Blue-run cities?"

At Crash. If Israel disbanded the I.D. F tomorrow do you think Iran would disband its forces, quit exporting terrorism and everyone would live in peace and harmony?
Sarcasm. Offer me a discuss-able question, if you like.
I just read an article advising folks not to bring their own phones to any demonstration. The regime will be able to identify you if they so choose. It’s come to that.
Fascist slime.
Find him. De-ball him. Cage him. Forget his existence. Until he breathes no more. Grind his bones and scatter them to the four winds. Or dump them at sea, covering the expense via his own assets and family's money.
After the hanging of those conne…
The state of tension between Israel and Iran existed before Bibi and will continue after he leaves office unless Iran has a regime not dedicated to Israel’s destruction. Yup. Truth. It takes both sides to make peace.
Agreed. Both will need to learn…
Crash. Your first sentence could be interpreted as questioning Israel’s legitimacy from the start. I don’t know how to do links but give a listen to Neighborhood Bully by Dylan from 1983.
OK, I'll do that. With regard to 1948 and prior, there was…
At Crash. Your antipathy towards Israel is well documented. I wonder if you can separate Israel’s behavior in Gaza from the way they deal with Iran, which is an existential threat to their very survival? Or put another way, do you think that Isra…
...So much for US "neutrality." Rubio says we had no part in the attacks? Bullshit. And now that Israel is under attack, the US is there in an instant with assistance. Israel COULD be governed by reasonable people. It's just NOT. That regime runs on…
@Crash We didn't have police in the area. And traffic flow was always normal.
NOW.....some local police may be at some locations for traffic management; and for no other needs; as times and events have rapidly changed.
+1.
I do not expect much e…

International cooperation instead of threats and war would be nice. As long as we throw hope behind us, we will guarantee a suckier future. Would it be nice to not need borders at all? I vote for that.
But the world we DO live in is dangerous. The…
Another interesting item: Al Jazeera is reporting that Israel says it "fully coordinated" with the US before the attacks. US credibility, much??????? Nope. The report comes from Amman. The Israeli rogue regime forced Al Jazeera to close offices in I…
.... Wondering if foreign stocks will fall, lined up behind the US. Mr. Market will wait to see if Iran attacks US people and bases.... Or, will foreign stuff do better because they are NOT Israeli or US? Hmmmmm....
This explains the rise of oil prices, US used to import majority of oil from Canada. This helps to stabilize gas prices. Now that relationships no longer exists.
US is evacuating embassy family members from Iraq and several Middle East countries…
+1. Yes, we get the occasional middle finger from the macho Trump doinks, but there are very few... Lots of drive-by support. Police stay at the fringes. We'll see what happens on Saturday coming.
Even when immigrants come legally, like my wife, the process is FUBAR. We got married in her country. Before we could do that, we needed to be interviewed and checked-out by the U.S. Consul in her city.
The U.S. Cebu Consulate webpage states it is …

A confident government doesn't require the spectacle of a military parade ...
Nor does a confident populace. Is our new motto, "Speak loud gibberish, and wave a big stick"?
Freedom of Assembly. Rallies or protests are deliberately loud, with some…
