“How sad it must be - believing that scientists, scholars, historians, economists, and journalists have devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, while a reality TV star with decades of fraud and exhaustively documented lying is your only beacon …
He's (they're) so dumb it's mind boggling. He puts tariffs on agriculture. Prices go up due to tariffs (screwed consumer) AND farmers can't sell as much because of retaliatory tariffs so..... they then give farmers billions of dollars in subsidies …
I hope you folks are sending a message or two to your senators. I've sent 4 so far to my two senators on multiple subjects and one to the Whitehouse and one to Rubio on Ukraine. I know they might not do anything but they let me vent. If they get en…
Sold 95% of my VONG (Russell 1000) -- s&&T is going to hit the fan... all the fed layoffs AND all of the supporting businesses those thousands of workers use... it has got to effect the economy in a bad way. Many university's losing their…
I think they will bump up the SS retirement eligibility age to 65 from 62 etc... That will be their fix and to avoid the wraith of the current recipients.
The reason congress isn't doing anything in my opinion: They are the ones who are supposed to control spending and waste but they are owned by lobbyist and corporations. They love that Musk will take the heat for them. They can sit back and cry I d…
Food for thought:
Doge is screaming fraud fraud fraud everywhere. Fraud is a crime. Why hasn't there been any charges filed for all the "fraud"? Not even one that I'm aware of.
Exactly... saying fraud is BS -- where is the proof? The proof it's BS is not allowing anyone to look at Elon's records until 2034 classifying his sh*^t show work using the presidential records act. ADD: I agree there is nothing wrong with lookin…
A lot of people like what he's doing not HOW he's doing it. There are other proper ways to do the same thing. Unfortunately lobbyist and corporate America own the congress so he has to break the law to get the same results. Sad reality about our p…
I agree waste needs to be removed from the government. What Elon is doing isn't the way to do it as it'll just come back with the next administration(s). Remove ALL the money going to politicians via corporations/lobbyist so they can act in the be…
It's coming. I just read 2 articles:
1. Alabama farmers can't find help on their tomato farms. Immigrants went into hiding. They are trying to use American workers but they're slow, out of shape or quit after one day. Produce prices will be affect…
Yeah, all those dopes that switched LOL. They had a guy that instituted a Muslims ban. Finally got rid of him for Biden but they hated Biden because he didn't end the Gaza war. So they switched to supporting Trump because he said he now loves them …
"Gaza is just another distraction, keep your eyes on what Musk is doing ..."
+1 -- at least people are starting to see his
look over here... not what I'm doing crap.
I think Monday is going to be a mess... Down a LOT. It's not just tariffs, he's dismantling the government. Down so much it might actually get his attention... we shall see.
Supplydemand You need to cut off demand, as long as there is demand SOMEBODY will supply it for $$. Tariff all you want, supply will come from someplace else, even the good ole USA IMHO. This is like the war on drugs that never worked.
Is there an effort underway to eliminate many agencies and privatize them? Turn over large parts of the government to business interests? I'm getting that feeling. Make them fail so they can say let private industry runs these functions. I'll g…
He's pathetic. Anytime something goes wrong over the next four years he'll blame somebody else. He immediately throws another BS item into the news stream to distract and unfortunately the press eats it up. The bigger the disaster the bigger the…
I read the helicopter was on a military training mission, if so could it have had a junior pilot etc... All speculation, we need to wait for the offical reports.
So sad... I hate to add to the disgust that's going on but must since NPR is mentioned above. There are several articles now circulating about current investigations into NPR and CPB. Project 2025 plans are to get rid of them as has been the case …
I can see crypto being the next liar loans, sub-sub prime type debacle and leading to the next crisis down the road. Add: When NFT's come back run for the hills.
North Carolina GOP is trying to steal an election also:

I've been with VG for 20ish years. I've locked myself out a few times, mostly when I had the account locked down so only one computer could login. I think they key on mac address. I would clear cookies and that would for some reason lock me out. …
Well, the Ukraine war will be over tomorrow and egg prices will be well below todays prices by April. So there's that... and we can all prepare for the beeestest , beuatifullesttt ever gooberment of all times. One that does more and is better tha…
Took some extra cash and put it in FLOT after reading about it on here. Not much more than MM but as I tell my kids. It's just a couple clicks. I finally got my daughter to move money from a bank to VG MM after telling her the interest rate differen…
