No orders, no pay, no healthcare, nothing. They are there but Trump didn't bother with anything to make it official.

FYI: The military commissary and exchanges, [including Class Six store sales] are tax-free. Also, retirees are able to access these for quite the savings.

Another great benefit is after departing the service, or retirement is the GI Bill benefit : )

The reason the stock market came back was due to Pres Trump backing down on his tariffs.

#5 | POSTED BY LAMPLIGHTER AT 2025-06-12 02:13 PM | FLAG: Apparently you have no clue [no surprise there] as to how trump works. To bring the countries to the table to negotiate he purposely put in place high tariffs, never intending to keep them that high - just a negotiation tactic, and you did not even 'get it'. Of course, like so many of the libs here, you seem to have a lack of business acumen.

Try reading The Art Of the Deal and you may just learn something -- assuming you can comprehend what is written there.

Personally, I bought and read it in early '88, a few months after it came out.

Yet our portfolio, as of mid June, and my wife's 401k, are back to where they were before the 'sky is falling' media created panic over Trumps tariff proposals. Only ones who lost are those who, like idiots, sold in panic.

We do not have a 'democracy, which is essentially mob rule. Try Representative Republic. Of course when dems use the term 'democracy', what they mean is 'whatever we say it is.

Do not know if true, or not, as do not care one way or another, whereas you're the party that mocked Texas Governor for being in a wheelchair. Wonder if any dems mocked FDR as the dems are the party of intolerance.

The again, the dems are the ones who willingly used the meat-puppet biden to further their agendas, regardless of his diminished mental faculties.

The dems last because were unable to cheat enough this time around, as did not have the excuse of COVID to send out all those mass mail-in ballots - too bad, so sad ; )

7 Times Presidents Have Activated US Troops on American Soil

Because erasing history does not change the past.

Correct, and it is wacko libbies who are making it so.

A AXIOS poll - everything but unbiased.

Dem Blue City in Bluest State - the dems inhabitants, over the decades, surely love to riot:

Watts Riots (1965):
.
A six-day period of unrest following an arrest for drunk driving in the Watts neighborhood.
1992 Los Angeles Riots:
.
These riots followed the acquittal of police officers accused of excessive force against Rodney King, leading to widespread unrest and violence.
Zoot Suit Riots (1943):
.
A conflict between Anglo servicemen and Latino youths in Los Angeles.
George Floyd protests (2020):
.
Part of a national movement against police brutality, protests occurred in Los Angeles County.
2025 Los Angeles anti-ICE riots:
.
Protests erupted following ICE raids and arrests of immigrants in Los Angeles.

Dems - their own worst enemy....

I'm among the other half : )

These are not peaceful protesters, rather they are rioters. Only one thing to do when rioters attack/assault LEOs [whether federal, state, or local ones] is arrest, charge, and try them in court.

They will just pretend to be a centrist until elected then they will go left once in office. Nothing new here.

Old news as we knew this a couple of years ago.

With or without a 'strong' jawline a political POS is still a POS.

I only tip at restaurants where I dine, and Pizza delivery girl - that's all. Also give cash 'thank you's' for mail delivery person and the trash pickup guys at Christmas time.

What's the problem, as the dems had mo problem with renaming military bases. --- for Tat babies, --- For Tat : )

I do not remember many here speaking out about this:

Determining the exact amount the Biden administration has added to the deficit is complex and subject to varying interpretations and calculations. However, here's a breakdown of the key information from the search results:
Estimated Increase in Debt/Deficit:
Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB) estimates: $4.7 trillion in new ten-year debt approved through legislation and executive actions from January 2021 through January 2025. This figure includes $6.6 trillion in deficit-increasing actions and $1.9 trillion in deficit-reducing actions.
Alternative estimates:
One source claims the Biden administration has increased the federal deficit by $11.6 trillion through July 2024, including $4.8 trillion in enacted legislation, $4.8 trillion in higher interest costs, and $2 trillion from executive actions.
Another source states the national debt under Biden increased by over $8.4 trillion during his four years in office (January 2021 to January 2025).
Some sources cite a $1.8 trillion deficit in FY 2024, which is double the projection when Biden took office.

What the illegally imported could be weaponized to kill off many or our grain crops which would lead to vast food shortages, among other things i.e., biological warfare.

FYI:
"Based on recent reports, two Chinese nationals, Yunqing Jian and Zunyong Liu, are accused of smuggling a dangerous fungus called Fusarium graminearum into the United States.
The potential danger associated with this fungus stems from its ability to:
Cause "head blight" in crops: Fusarium graminearum is known to cause a devastating disease affecting staple crops such as wheat, barley, maize, and rice, leading to significant economic losses globally.
Produce harmful toxins: The fungus produces toxins that can cause vomiting, liver damage, and reproductive defects in humans and livestock."

The president's responsibility is to protect the citizens of the US, not the travel status of foreigners to this country.

.... and this is why we on the Right never need to ask your opinion on any subject ; )

Wow. Super insightful! You must make a killing in the markets with that kind of rare genius!

#51 | POSTED BY JPW AT 2025-05-30 09:56 AM | FLAG: Actually child, our portfolio, due to being older, is set up for cash flow to supplement our retirement income [[though 10 year younger wife still working], so share price is not a major factor. Currently we are netting a little over 33k annually, and that, along with my SocSec and military retirement pay is/has been, all going into purchasing more income producing investments, and believe our supplemental investment income may be, by the time my wife retires in a couple of years,[and starts her Soc Sec, but leave her 401k to grow], closer to 40k annually

PS: The Gas&Oil sector portion of our portfolio are stocks in ExxonMobil and ENB. Also Limited Partnerships[LPs] in MPLX, EPD, ET, and DMLP. Excellent dividends and distributions which up the cash flow along with our investments in other sectors.
You should check out the excellent yields of those.

Libbies hate what I love -- the Gas&Oil companies!
