I thought this part of the statement by the Press Secretary was interesting: "Mr. Stone was charged by the same prosecutors from the Mueller Investigation tasked with finding evidence of collusion with Russia. Because no such evidence exists, however, they could not charge him for any collusio...

Hmmm - tech are you hinting you might consider a move to Switzerland? I jumped on Ancestry.com just to see what it could do during a free trial. Long story short: I absolutely qualify for the Italian ancestry passport if I can track down the birth certificates and naturalization papers (none showed...

I'm against murder in all its various forms. I also do not equate killing (such as in a just war, or after sentencing by a jury of your peers) with murder. I think it is exceptionaly hypocritical to be for abortion and against the death penalty. You did not state if you have any exceptions for abor...

What I just wrote regarding Giuliani and crime reduction was not unique to me but was something I'd read years ago. A quick Bing search finds this: How much credit does Giuliani deserve for fighting crime? https://www.politifact.com/article/2007/sep/01/how-much-credit-giuliani-due-fighting-crime/ &q...

In a way I don't care what the root cause is - especially if the black community itself doesn't care. It can't be fixed by more government largesse or indeed by any outside force, if that's where you're going with this. The government's job is to protect me from people who do, in fact, want to grow...

I thought of an anti-abortion female who gets impregnated by a rapist and wants to abort it. Alternatively, the guy who got his girl pregnant and was happy to have a baby on the way, then she aborts it. As an aside, Grover Norquist sounds like a tweed jacket in name-form. Time to now ask this quest...

So your example is people who think killing babies is wrong up until they find a baby in their lives who needs killin'. And this is moral "progress"? I'm not saying that they "think" that killing babies is wrong. I'm saying that they "say" that killing babies is wrong....

Anyone looked into Italian ancestry passports as featured on CBS a year ago? This seems fairly detailed regarding it. https://www.italyheritage.com/genealogy/citizenship/ My father came here from Italy in 1927 at the age of 13. Don't know when he became a U.S. citizen but would it be fair to assume...

Both of them opened to the full, complete articles for me.

I tried to register to get a ticket but never received my text so as to enter the code to register. Responded to the email that has all the below. If I can get straight that I DO have a ticket then high possibilities I'm going! Vinny Trump Pence Make America Great Again Hello! We are excited for you...

Ok, I do not dispute what Giuliani did. What I don't know, and what is more important (to me), is, did it materially improve the lives of the people in those areas? Certainly if there was less crime, their lives improved to some level. But did it result in a population that was simply afraid of cop...

The Trayvon Martin Hoax.... I'm actually surprised that Youtube is hosting this. I bet it won't be there for long.... https://youtu.be/QAw5ykIPOBM Still there. Read a book that was similar to this. Made the persuasive case that what is popularly believed is not true. Same as what most believe regar...

https://investor.vanguard.com/etf/profile/BSV What would be the downsides to using the Vanguard Short Term Bond Fund for the cash portion? It is 67% in treasuries with a 2 year duration. It held up well in 2008 and so far this year in comparison to a Treasury only ETF like SHY. And over a 10 year p...

My success at procrastinating with finishing my 2019 tax returns has finally ended tonight. As part of my reviewing my 2019 tax return information I'm using Quicken (which contains EVERYTHING financial related to me - income, expenses, investment transactions). I have saved reports in it which I the...

I did not think of that part of it! So, thanks for the sentiments. But it will come down to that SOME day and at this point you are head and shoulders above any other person who should get them. Vinny I am incredibly appreciative. I am also currently reflecting on how my ability to connect with peo...

I actually don't have a will. But when I finally get to doing one, I think I've just determined who is going to get ALL my personal finance books! There are fairly inexpensive "media mail" rates within the United States. Hope that it also extends to Canada! Vinny I really appreciate the s...

Is this just me or have others been having issues? Some services like hangouts never worked properly. But lately.... I've been using Googe calendar for years as have a bunch of other people I know, but it started misbehaving a few months ago. Events entered would disappear, and the calendar tab on ...

Will the cats get along with the pugs? And don't you have a bunch of other critters? Pugchief may need a bigger place. Good questions! 3 cats, 9 gerbils, 3 rats. They would obviously have to stay locally, though, I hope I at least outlast the last 2 groups. The cats are either only 4 years old or 2...

My latest crop of books have all arrived. The typeface of the paperback version of A Random Walk Down Wall Street is crooked. Especially all the pages on the left side when the book is open. :-\ I have a paperback version of the 10th edition that I bought way back when, so I decided to take a look ...

As if 2020 couldn’t get any stranger, Kanye West has announced that he plans to join the presidential race. Given that Kanye is likely to siphon more votes from Biden than from Trump, his presence in the race might give Trump an even better chance of winning. "Asked about foreign policy, West ...
