    Celebrity RIP Garden

    Turns out the person in custody is NOT the shooter, who is still at large.

    Celebrity RIP Garden

    Conservative Podcaster and “Turning Point USA “ leader Charlie Kirk, shot in the neck in Utah. I saw the video. He’s not surviving that. It was a clean neck shot, looked like a high powered rifle shot, from about 200 yards. Suspect in custody. Press hasn’t confirmed he’s dead, but I saw...

    You know, for some reason today I’m not feeling good about the stock market. It’s not yet to the “itchy in the back of my neck” stage, but it IS starting to tingle just a bit. “Tingle” usually comes before “itchy. “ That Poland drone attack makes me very uncomfortable. I’ll let you know...

    My Fannie is on Fire

    Back in 2008, I bought a TON (for me) of Freddie Mac at $5 a share about a week before it crashed. I hung onto it for about 15+ years, watched it go to .20 cents- and finally gave up and sold it when it was like $0.40 a share a couple years ago. That was again, the stupidest thing I have...

    The Tariff Talk

    Note: in doing more research- it turns out they already DID a Section 301 study on tariffs for furniture back in 2019, and furniture from China ALREADY has a large 30% plus 10% tariff on it. Trump’s claim that they are studying it really means nothing- they already are tariffed a lot on...

    The Tariff Talk

    For the record- have to report: One year ago, in September 2024, I bought a six pack of this German beer at my local store, and paid $11.49 for it. As a person who lived four years in Germany in the U.S. Army, I no longer have a tolerance for American beer. If it’s not Bavarian, then I’m not...

    Strange, but true!

    So I just looked over on “Stockcharts.com” to see how the indexes did today - And this is what it told me the equivalent of our “S” fund did today- Symbol $DWCPF It SAYS it’s up +714% today. I kind of doubt that. But seeing is believing.

    The Tariff Talk

    That’s not legal. He can’t just make up a number, and impose it. The Constitution says Congress has the power to lay taxes. Not the President. If he created a uniform system of tariffs, with specific criteria connected to legal data, he COULD get Congress to pass it for a year. That is the...
