I am leaving mine unbuckled for now. As soon as you have any information that would suggest Strzok violated the Hatch Act please do let me know.

and that too! Google is a marvelous resource. But of course it only works for the literate. But for the illiterate there is YouTube. Google has you covered in either case.

Actually my economist friend's grandmother was a communist.

It may be that democrats have opposed tightening up requirements for legal immigration. But it might not have to do with fighting to lower wages. Who has the greatest interest in keeping wages low? I have a good friend. He is a well known economist. When he was in grade school his...

I like that you are trying to think and not just parroting, like many of your colleagues here. What do you suppose is the rate limiting step to creating jobs. Is it the level of taxes, or something else? In other words, if we lowered taxes would it have a significant affect on the number of...

Perhaps it is best to take things as they come. I'm just an old fart giving you young whippersnappers advice. But I know whereof i speak.

The real reason he got fired is because he made Trey Gowdy look two feet tall. Actually I guess it was more like two inches tall.

Tariffs??? the Fed??? Neither the Fed, nor its chained at the hip partner, the Treasury, has access to the most effective tools for controlling the money supply, i.e., Taxes and Spending. They have to use what they can. But they do have many arrows in their quiver. Tariffs of course are not...

I agree, i think. The Fed must work their magic against a rising tide -- is is a tsunami ?-- of money. They will sell inventory, draining excess reserves, pushing bond prices down, yields up a little. What ever will we do with all that extra money Mr. Trump will spend into the economy. I...

I think the EC is actually a mixed bag. It does make a two party political system essential, if it is not desirable to let the House decide elections. It is probably fair to say, however, that the founders, who were decidedly unenthusiastic about true democracy as we define it today, had no...

I read headlines such as this with an ear to ear grin. The dollar will devaluate. The Forex market will anticipate with dollar selling vis a' vis other currencies. But I am curious what mechanism the U.S. Treasury and Fed will use to affect only the Renminbi dollar relationship without...

Check with your attorney, comrade, I think it would be unusual to "indict every other nation" in an indictment naming individual Russians for specific crimes. That's one of a hundred other reasons why "every other nation" wasn't mentioned in the special prosecutors, specific and focused...

Other than the 20+ indictments of Russians for interfering in the 2016 election that contain detailed and substantial information regarding who did what when, there isn't any. ;)

The problem is adding sugar at all, and way too much! Why do "Wheat Thins" taste so sweet? Sugar is sugar. it is all natural! there is no difference as far as the sugar goes whether you get it from an apple or out of a bag. its the amount of sugar that makes a difference. The apple has other...

sure. these are different sugars. they are metabolized differently. our bodies prefer glucose. table sugar, sucrose, breaks down into fructose and glucose in your tummy.

There is no difference whatsoever other than in the amounts ingested of course. All the table sugars are naturally occurring. Naturally occurring sucrose (from beets or cane) is fructose and glucose bonded together by a glycosidic bond. The sucrose in a sugar beet is identical to the sucrose...

I don't agree with 'the too many guns argument.' (I did once, but that was before I found out how they were distributed). I think the distribution pattern is an important element. There are many gun owners that have multiple guns, so the distribution is not anywhere near uniform. This gives a...

Indeed. See my post #73 above in response to gwb- which I was maniacally typing while you were posting. Now the question is Why does Mexico send all their nice guys to Canada and all their rapists and murderers to the U.S. I guess we'll have to ask the Donald.

I have only the statistics for all gun homicides in Canada broken down. Statistically there is no increase or decrease in the gun homicide rate in Canada in the most recent ten years for which complete data is available, ending 2016, as compared to the prior ten years ending 2006. The average...

It's the rate more than the number of shooting that is important. How fast it that rising. How many years, assuming the shootings rate in Canada continues growing at its present, say 10 year average growth rate, will it be before the Canadian rate catches the U.S. rate, assuming the U.S. rate...
