Re: The Fourth Branch of Government
But you said that Trump’s Deep State team (with nobody on it, apparently) was now 0-2. Based on your link, that would refer to the Durham investigation. Were you referring to something else? Because I’m not sure Durham or Barr were on Trump’s team at all. It’s possible that they were more concerned...

Re: The Fourth Branch of Government
Who do you think is on “Trump’s Deep State Team”? Should we just casually dismiss the FBI’s transgressions? Nobody now, but rest assured the deep state's actions are driven by the politicos not the peons. If one hates the deep state and think it's a Democrat only thing I laugh heartily in your face...

The Fourth Branch of Government
This is a lengthy but interesting article that describes what has happened to the US intelligence apparatus since 9/11. It helps explain (as background info) some of the issues involved in recent threads regarding Hunter Biden, the Deep State, Russia collusion, and others but deserves its own thread...

Re: When is it time to load up on bonds.
I've been wondering the same thing about when it's time to load up. All of the assets move up and down, and bonds are clearly down. And by loading up, I really just mean bringing bonds back to 20% (I run a GB and I'm a bit low). It seems that The Fed hasn't damaged the economy enough yet, so there m...

Re: Mask wearing / Returning shopping carts
I worked at a grocery store when I was in high school. I used to love rounding up carts because it was something different and it got me out of the store for a little while. So don't deprive someone of a little bit of joy by returning your cart. Just another perspective. That said, I always return m...

Re: $250 investment for a 19 year old?
Alternate approach: give them $250 to put in a Robinhood account and just let them have at it. We are talking about a 19 year old after all.
My son did that on his own at 18 and learned some lessons that were worth far more than $250 in the long run. Helped that he was using his own money though.

Re: $250 investment for a 19 year old?
Regarding the FAFSA: if the parents have too much income, there won’t be any financial aid anyway. And it’s not that hard to get to that point.

Concerning early treatment options like ivermectin, everyone just has to decide to do what's right for them.

Re: Gold will rise when Fed stops raising interest rates?
Doesn't the strength of the US dollar factor into all of this? I recently read that it's up 14% in 2022 and is at its highest level in 20 years compared to other currencies.

Some would say they are GOPe, professional conservatives, Conservative, Inc., RINOs, grifters, neocons, and a variety of other things.
That is, not true conservatives.
