"There's nothing like driving on I-90 under partly sunny skies with dark clouds ahead, driving into whiteout conditions forcing you to slow to 20mph with flashers on then driving out ten minutes later into partly sunny skies."

Which is why I would never live within a thousand miles of there. San Antonio is almost too north for me.

Sounds like the stock market must not have anything to do with the economy...
How's the economy doing, and how do you tell if it's doing well or not?

Guess what, that make his unemployment numbers look better than reality as the market was going up because the the was pumping out money under another bout of quantitative easing.

Here's an idea - why don't you take a college course: ECON 101 and then get back to us.

This is Donald Trump's Dow. Because he's said so many times it's his.

#70 | POSTED BY ZED AT 2020-02-28 01:40 PM | FLAG: Exactly, but the dem view of the maraket is -- if goes up it's due to obama, goes down it's Trumps. Sure when the market comes back up obama will again say 'see, it's mine'. ; )

Yes, being neutral does not mean not prepared [unlike our Gun-Free Zones] and the Swiss are a gun culture.

Firearms regulation in Switzerland:

'allows the free acquisition of semi-automatic, and"with a permit"fully automatic firearms, by Swiss citizens and some foreigners with permanent residence.[note 1][1] The laws pertaining to the acquisition of firearms in Switzerland are in many respects more liberal than most nations.[2] A reason is not required to own a gun unless the reason is other than sport-shooting, hunting, or collecting.[3] Permits for concealed carrying in public are issued sparingly.[note 2][4] The acquisition of fully automatic weapons, suppressors and target lasers requires special permits issued by the cantonal firearms office.[5] Use of hollow-point and soft-point ammunition is limited to hunting.[6]'

Anyone with a 401k and years to retirement will benefit as Dollar Cost Averaging is purchasing shares of their account at cheaper share prices which will lend to greater returns a few years down the road.

After returning from the Philippines in late '83 was assigned to Griffiss AFB, NY. Often five months with snow on the ground and approx 68 days of sunshine a year all due to lake effect [Lake Erie] weather. When weather forecast for New York Stated called for six inches of snow we braced for anywhere from 12 to 18 [or more].

What makes anyone here think that obama's team, led by a lawyer, was going to be effective? After all,, they never had to actually deal with an actual pandemic in this country as one never materialized.

What were the qualifications of the lawyer Ron Klain who was appointed by obama to head the government's response to the possible ebola response?

No, that was dummies 'debating'.

The majority of those who want Bernie are craving the promised 'freebies' and the joke will be on them once they get paying jobs, as they will be appalled at what they will see deducted in massive taxes -- and then the crying will begin.

It's what the electorate wants. It's what Russia wants. Both Trump and Bernie want to give up the world.
#1 | POSTED BY BRUCEBANNER AT 2020-02-25 11:41 AM | FLAG: So why were not the previous administrations on top of this as China has been positioning there years before Trump was elected.

Pathetic, if remembering the Republican debates on '16 by comparison. Also, once again, not one American Flag present as the dems do not want to anger their base.

Sounds good until the 'political elite' are back in office, then [in their eyes] not so good - once again, slippery slope with The law Of Unintended Consequences: Remember Harry Reid?

The term "nuclear option" is an analogy to nuclear weapons being the most extreme option in warfare. In November 2013, Senate Democrats led by Harry Reid used the nuclear option to eliminate the 60-vote rule on executive branch nominations and federal judicial appointments, but not for the Supreme Court.

How did that work out for dems when the 'shoe was on the other foot', i.e., be careful what you wish for as you just may 'get it'.

Good thing a dem would never do this in public, right?

Go BERNIE!

Immigrants with needed job qualifications, I can see, not just 'bodies' streaming over the southern boarder.

Q: Why the dems want felons to vote.

A: Apparently the majority of those who commit crime are dem voters, because if the dems thought they would vote Republican they would be against giving them back voting rights.

In my post above I realize that many would not know the them Black Swan, so here is the meaning:

"A black swan event, a phrase commonly used in the world of finance. ... In other words, black swan events are events that are unexpected and unknowable."

Black Swan events are going to happen from time-to-time, and one just has to deal with that - and [economic] life goes one, one way or another.

Just an idea: do not let Russians tell you how to vote in 2020 : )

Truth: it is the fault of our crazy election system that includes the EC. We can't actually be a democracy when the person with the most votes doesn't win. It totally undermines the basic ideas of democracy and fairness.

#16 | POSTED BY DANNI AT 2020-02-22 12:12 PM | FLAG: So you are basically saying that The Constitution undermines the country?

.... and PS: just a reminder that we are NOT a 'democracy', where mob rules.

That citation in #215? That site's wacky. I went to the main page.

#217 | POSTED BY YAV AT 2020-02-22 12:07 PM | FLAG: Got it; when you cannot refute the message you shoot the messenger [typical of libbies].

Confirmed this morning. Bernie informed by intel agencies the Russians are helping him. They dont want an establishment candidate.

#214 | POSTED BY SITZKRIEG AT 2020-02-22 08:41 AM | FLAG: Notice the difference by the libbie/dem Deep State as they inform Bernie, yet they wiretapped/investigated Trump, interesting the difference, is it not?

Short article, but excellent take on this very subject:
