This is a CNBC article from yesterday discussing Micron and the memory chip shortage:
https://www.cnbc.com/2026/01/10/micron-ai-memory-shortage-hbm-nvidia-samsung.html
Micron is the company that I'm most familiar with from this list. Their memory chips are in competition with Samsung and SK Hynix and all 3 companies are reporting outstanding earnings from their memory chip business due to the heightened demand an…
"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." - George Orwell 1984
Sadly I'm reminded of the 1970 Kent State shootings. That was way before my time, but of course I've read about it…
Personally I would love to see Cheeto kidnapped in the middle of the night and exiled to the South Pole wearing only his pajamas. He’ll spend his remaining days frolicking with the penguins.
Maduro’s extraction couldn’t have been successful without someone (likely more) in the Venezuelan military helping the USA, imho. Probably these people will quietly receive a % of the profits from the increased oil exports as payment for their coop…
@DrVenture - Try the blueberry ones, they’re heavenly!
@stayCalm - Who knows? Trump might want a percentage of any deals, kinda like the deal to allow Nvidia’s H200 GPU’s to be sold in China. We‘ll see how this plays out.
@stayCalm - With all due respects, I don't think that Trump is ruling out the opposition leader because of gender. Apparently some members of the VZ military helped Trump. I think these people wouldn't help Trump with Maduro's ouster if they expec…
Rubio (the son of Cuban immigrants) sure makes it sound like Cuba‘s next. Perhaps Nicaragua later? My Venezuelan friends are ecstatic about today’s developments, not even the EU recognized Maduro as the legitimate leader of Venezuela. Hopefully t…
I can only hope that what comes next has been thought out. Another unilateral military operation by the USA. Sadly the last few weeks indicated that this “special military operation” has been kinda telegraphed ahead of time. Venezuelans overseas …
Today at roughly 2500 protest sites in this country and in other countries hundreds of thousands (if not more) protesters demonstrated their 1st Amendment rights to protest in a peaceful, creative, respectful, jovial and fun manner with no intention…
The number of people participating in these protests is great, but the creativity of the signs and costumes is just as impressive! Lotsa frogs of course.
God bless Jane Godall! Watch her final interview:

Trump and his minions were behind it, I just know it! It’s no coincidence that MFO going offline coincided with Jimmy Kimmel’s show being discontinued. And It also coincided with Trump’s puppet being the only Fed official calling for a 50 basis poin…

Yes, both parties gerrymander. I should be more clear:
Here are some state distortions at a glance:
1. TX - GOP received 56% of the vote and received 79% seats
2. NC - GOP received 10-11 of seats despite close vote share
3. WI - GOP received 75% …
The photo represented the most gerrymandered states in 2024. In no particular order: TX, UT, LA, AR, WI, OH, KY, WV, PA, MD, SC.
I think Harris won only MD, with all the other states, including battleground states, voting for Cheeto.
I’m with OJ. These people and their mentality have been here all along. Gerrymandering has helped them a lot. The days of Dan Rather and Walter Cronkite speaking for the nation are long gone, replaced by an enormous quantity of media outlets spew…
How would Jan. 6, 2021 been different if the Wash. DC police dept. had been operating under federal control and the national guard were already deployed by the president?
Think about it!!
My parents first bought into FCNTX about 35 years ago and have been happy with the returns. They didn’t get exorbitantly wealthy but it has provided a nice cushion for their retirement. The star manager (Will Danoff) seems to be relinquishing some…

I’m too young for social security and didn’t receive the email, but this CNN article seems to indicate the partisan nature of this email.
Looks like I was having a "confefe" moment when starting this thread. My young son had been up during the night and I was tired!
I meant to ask, "What has become of this arrogant proclamation?". Looks like we got our answer today as the goal post…
