Neocons

So where do the neocons go now? Some of them supported Hillary, if you had not noticed.

Tallying of early votes

I don't recall ever seeing news stories about early voting ballot tallies. This year there are many. Trump is doing well in Florida, etc.

I am shocked that early votes are tallied and reported. This seems wrong.

Discuss.

My prediction is that someday they will succeed in inflating away the debt. Therefore yes, we will all be stiffed.

Re: American Solidarity Party

Only economists and engineers and the like could dream up or support something as obviously bad as the Citizens Dividend. I am sorry to offend, but that is what it has come to. It is one of the dumbest, baddest ideas out there. Just because something looks clean, logical, and efficient does not make...

Steady last two weeks

I see a headline saying stocks are on the longest losing streak, 9 days, since 1980.

So I checked my portfolio. Looks basically unchanged from a week or two ago. Have stocks gone down much? Bonds or gold gone up?

Is my memory bad, or is Obama campaigning much more actively and prominently than past presidents have done?

Re: Goodbye

I was surprised that Reub's posts got him banned. I'm not second guessing the moderation, though. Probably better to be strict than loose in my experience. I hope he was warned. I know he was sent to purgatory in the past.

Re: FBI REOPENS HILLARY INVESTIGATION

Unless more comes to light on this, I think it is only a medium bump in the road for Hillary. The media is with her, after all. They are already making the FBI director the bad guy. It helps Trump, but it's not a show stopper. In fact, it distracts from the Doug Band stuff about the Clinton money tr...

Re: FBI REOPENS HILLARY INVESTIGATION

Benko, that is too clever by half. What matters is what the public perceives about this development. And it ain't good for Hillary.

That said, she might still win. Nixon won in 72 and Watergate had been in the news for months.

Re: Red state Blue state

Terlingua, Texas is just like that. But it includes a pretty cool little town as well. People there definitely value and respect freedom. But, you have to live in the middle of nowhere. It's so remote that even though it's on the Mexican border and the river is about 6 inches deep and 6 feet wide, t...

That map points out the compromises we have to make if we want to live in a freer state. It's not my mission to denigrate any given states, but for me personally, I'm not interested in living in South Dakota, Alaska, or Oklahoma. Probably not New Hampshire either, although it's been so long since I'...

Re: Red state Blue state

Interesting, thanks. Do you really see an everyday difference in masculinity/femininity? I think states are still important because of legal differences. At least I am assuming so. That's a big part of what I want to hear about, whether or not it makes much difference in one's life. Maybe it all com...

Red state Blue state

Is it different living in a red or blue state? Are some states better from a liberty standpoint as a practical matter? Or is it just that the attitudes are different but the laws are about the same? I understand the differences in concealed carry. But to me that is more symbolic. The whole rest of t...

I figured he was about done. I haven't watched the recordings yet, but I did see a promo or something where Parker mentioned it. Yeah, he was a heckuva guy. He started mining in his late 60s or early 70s, IIRC.
