You got that right! I'd love to see 10's of thousands Chicagoans milling about the entrances and exits around that naval compound for however long it takes.
"why didn't the Dems release all the info about Epstein?"
To protect/shield the victims and not to impede the investigation into Maxwell.
There are many other polling organizations other than Gallup who are in alignment with the WaPo poll. What is…
@Anna + a big 1
I'd like to hear more, much more about this alleged investigation. Sounds like more racist BS to me. What? Did they run out of all the criminals, drug dealers and rapists they haven't been able to find? I hate this whole business wi…
Another good week huh?
"Today we learned that in June the US economy lost jobs for the first time since 2020. We haven’t seen this kind of net job loss since - well, since the last time Trump was in charge." – Pete Buttigieg
Right there with you @rforno
"... take that as you will. For me, I prefer investment managers that tend to stay in the background. My go-to is Capital Group (where I'm deeply invested across accounts) but in terms of quiet, steady-eddie operations …
I'm near positive that Lutnick et.al. will be saying that throughout their entire term at the helm. They should have the Doge boys get after this dontcha think?
No surprise here "“It did not appear they had a very deep understanding of the project,” said David Perkins, a vice president at Heidelberg North America, a subsidiary of the multinational firm headquartered in Germany."
From Heather Cox Richardson Sept. 2, 2025:
"In the early hours of Sunday morning, in the middle of a three-day holiday weekend, the Trump administration attempted to take children out of government custody and ship them alone to their country of or…

@Mona, I think I know what is ______moron but for viewers at home at least toss in the first letter. FWIW, I said that the first time I had ever heard about him or heard him speak and have never wavered from that opinion. He would be a total nothing…
"Many don’t want to face their constituents in town hall meetings."
Right, but that's because they don't want to explain or answer for their reasons for just following along at least from news clips I've seen. The question remains, would they still…
Sorry BS. That's been debunked numerous times.

You're turning, 'falling face first into the truth but somehow still missing it', into an art form.
@Derf Wait! My mistake, looks like a 29oz can. I was only off on the size by 39%. I haven't bought any of the common grocery store coffee's in years but when I did it seemed like it was a 3-lb metal can. Anyway it was just the largest selectable con…
Just dropped into a Walmart, 3-lb Folgers $22, Simply Orange Juice which used to be about $3.50 for 64oz is now $5 for 46oz. There's some shrinkflation for ya.
I appreciate that their announcement is written in plain English and not lawyer-speak all though I'm sure there will be plenty of that. I used to hold a position in the Longleaf Partners fund but that was many moons ago. Neither it nor the Global fu…
While the US has a supply of the hard wheat used in pasta production quite a bit of the current pasta supply is imported. If Italy, Canada, South Korea, China, Thailand choose to not deal with silly tariffs well then..... I'm not sure how quickly US…
@Observant,
That's what I did using the funds I remembered from when I owned them at Fidelity over 10-yrs ago. I tried DODGX, DODFX and DODBX. I'll try again at a later time.
Curious about that $100 TF at Fidelity I went searching at Fidelity for D&C funds.Of their 8900+ MF's in their data base they show NONE. Are they only available through an advisor? How would an interested party even have access if they wanted to?
Well Warren Buffett suggests two funds as we all know, an S&P500 index fund and another of short term Treasury bonds. If you think Wellington has an advantage then go with them. I have never entertained the idea of a one fund portfolio except fo…
Yeah the current coffee trail ob Brazil of 50% I'm fairly certain isn't helping matters. However since most of the coffee I buy has its origins in Sumatra, Costa Rica, El Salvador or Guatemala I haven't seen the pricing that you describe. Yet.
