Are you planning on tying yourself to the mast to go down with the ship. Pathetic.

apparently not the first time. You must be referring to the made for YouTube edition. :D

ha ha ha. Would this be the ultimate obstruction of Justice? Now that is hilarious. The President making the final call re what criminal acts of his or his campaign are covered by executive privilege. I imagine the new Progressive House and the Supreme court may want to weigh in on that...

There can be no doubt that that's a part of the left's ready praise of McCain. Our President has acted childishly, crass, rude, and ill mannered, to put it mildly. Many of us do not want such a Man as our President. Against a backdrop of oleaginous, sycophants in his own party, John McCain...

Have you considered that in the minds of many it may be that it is not his war service*, nor his being captured, that makes John McCain a hero, but rather how he conducted himself, and the choices he made, from the moment he was captured to the moment he breathed his last breath that made him a...

Every person of any prominence in American political life will eventually gain the attention of conspiracy theorists and kooks, of which every large society has a fair number. Let us all be on guard against our own credulity at moments when it challenges our reasoning most. These are those...

Richard Wolff is a Marxian, U. Mass (Amherst) Emeritus Professor of Economics. Here he discusses where he thinks the U.S. Economy is headed and what he believes the impact of Trump's Tax Cuts, Tariffs and policies will be. this interview is quite recent. More about Wolff can be read here...

From a lifetime of observation I would say that people who have the wherewithal to live wherever they want often reveal something of their character by where and how they choose to live. Taste and manners are an inseparable part of character, and certainly taste in architecture reveals not...

"predictions are hard, especially about the future" -- Yogi Berra

I think a quote from the Donald would be apropos here. "Boing, Bing, Bing Boing, Bing"

No, not at all. I'm saying that everything Trump does, or says he does, must be looked at with a jaundiced eye! The concessions being reported are going in exactly the direction that is needed to level the trade table and improve the lives of Mexican workers. But do you think for one moment...

I believe that one of the worst mistakes equities traders can make is to recognize the true nature of the equities market and attempt to trade accordingly. Said another way, successful trading requires that one deny the underlying truth. Investing, on the other hand requires a different...

That these seat of the pants deals will pan out to offer any significant advantage over the status quo is unclear. What is clear is that they are a necessary component of Trump's constant need to be in the news, even if it requires creating a little temporary chaos. We don't know who actually...

Not really, not the way you do apparently. I tend to look at the data differently than you do. I am looking for explanations that are consistent with all observations.

What you say is true, except I don't come from that "party". I don't belong to any current political party. You should re-think your position. We both can't be right!

Your concerns are overblown. A blanket seizure of all guns would violate the second amendment. An outlaw government could try to do that regardless of whether there is a second amendment, or even a constitution for that matter. It is not a realistic concern at present. I would guess, from...

It's not the unfortunate and nebulous phrase "Climate Change" that anyone could take issue with, it is how it is being interpreted. No one disputes that the climate is changing. There doesn't even seem to be any dispute about the direction in the North American Quadrant. What is unsettled is...

Probably 2/3rds or more of the population agrees that citizens should be able to keep and bear arms. So that's not what's at issue. What is at issue is what kinds of arms and whether they should be tracked. And once that's determined what kind of controls are necessary to make the rules...

My estimate is 2.5-2.8 for the entire fiscal year. Which is good a little higher than last year. Of course. This is how the deficit enters the economy. The government spends it into the economy via purchase of goods and services.

To borrow a word from James Comey, "LORDY"! I have never heard of this guy before, but I am going to have to assume he's somehow affiliated with the Republican Party. Please someone tell me this guy is not really in the House.
