I know it's not a popular stand but I hate most human beings from the get-go. It saves time.
I don't suffer bullies, braggarts, fools or one-uppers at all. I try to be pleasant and considerate in meet-ups or group settings but I'd really rather spen…
Iran doesn't need a strategy. They can just stand on the sidelines and watch as the US keeps shooting themselves in the foot. I can't think of a single thing that will ever sort out all the wars and factions in the Middle East.
"So, school lunch debt nationwide is currently $200 million.
Pete Hegseth spent $93 billion in December on steak, crab, lobster, doughnuts, ice cream & iPads."
That $93b?
It would pay that school lunch debt for 450 years.
They are lying whe…
HCR today:
"It has become clear that Trump had no plan in Iran other than to strike it, knock out the leaders he didn’t like, and hope the Iranian people would rise up and put in place new leaders he could deal with. It was supposed to look like wh…
This afternoon we're told that the war is almost over:
"U.S. stocks finished higher on Monday, overcoming several days of declines caused by the Middle East conflict with Iran, as U.S. President Donald Trump said the war could be over soon.

"Shouldn't U.S. businesses that paid IEEPA tariffs be entitled to full refunds by default?"
I agree that they should but I also think that the customers who ultimately paid for the tariffed product should also be refunded by the business/company wh…
I'm not saying this out loud but I'd almost be willing to take a 20-30% correction if it came with a giant flushing of the GOP party come the mid-terms.
"Comer. Talk about an un-serious person. A joke of a legislator. MAGA brainwashed pile of fecal goo."
Jim Jordan and a mess of others also belong in that pile.
Mostly I am sitting still but as I watch my int'l holdings back up (CGIC & JIVE). I've been adding a small number of shares on the dips.
My recent purchase of NOW is the only thing that has sustained an up trend with respect to equities.
Well then let's rename this "Epic Failure" and throw the entire GOP under the bus.
Like Pretti and Good let's just kill all manner of innocents for no reason.
He's a clueless loser who can't stand to lose with an idiot sidekick pushing buttons on a board just to see what each one might do.
They will only walk away if Benji says they can.

When WaMu went under did you have to renegotiate the terms of your mortgages with JPM or were they just continued as is? Mere curiosity.
@Crash - the trouble with Queen video's is that I think that I'm just going to listen to this ONE song and two hours later here I am still pulling up as many as I can find Including George Michael et.al. performing at the Tribute to Freddie Mercury.…
