    Bitcoin hits $20000 within three years-Ronnie Moas predicts

    I can see that choice... at least hope for the crypto (though still backed by "nothing") and virtually no hope for Venezualan money. Even so... with the Venezuela currency so trashed, how many of those people have enough buying power to invest even a fraction of a bitcoin? Venezuela...

    Bitcoin hits $20000 within three years-Ronnie Moas predicts

    I understand cryptocurrencies are "all the rage". But throughout history, money and stores of value have been backed by something of intrinsic value... like gold, land, other commodities. Even the fiat US Dollar is backed by the US government (whatever that turns out to be worth). Bitcoin and...

    Women

    Dig that. I traded in my hot but druggie GF for a not-as-hot (though still attractive) doctor wife. Best trade of my career!

    'Social Justice Collective' Urges Universities To "Ban Veterans"

    “A four-year, traditional university is supposed to be a place of learning, of understanding, of safety, and security." "However, there is an element among us who may be frustrating those goals: Veterans,” the article asserts, defending the claim with sweeping assumptions about those who have...

    The Nazis Were Actually Leftists

    Understanding Conservatism

    I imagine only a few liberal sheeple have any understanding of the difference. All they hear is "free shit?... I'm in"!

    Poor Texans. If only they believed in Human Forced Global Warming...

    The press wants to make a big deal about a "Cat 3" hurricane. When I was in the military stationed in the Pacific, I experienced 5 such storms. 120 mph winds, while not inconsequential... damage of course but not generally catastrophic... are not that big of a deal. Cat 4 & 5 now, different...

    Charles Barkley Labeled a “White Supremacist” For Telling Black People to Stop Killing Each Other

    I don't use that word out of respect for blacks who find it offensive. I paraphrased it in this case to emphasize the point. Are you a black person taking offense at all this? If so, didn't mean to offend you. (Throughout my life, I've always been on good terms with blacks. I used to be a...

    Charles Barkley Labeled a “White Supremacist” For Telling Black People to Stop Killing Each Other

    I was hoping all would get the inference when I said "basically". You get the spirit, but you wanna nit-pick form and technicalities... like that's the gist and most important? Well, go ahead and give it to me. But be assured you're not going to make any points with me by sounding like my...

    Charles Barkley Labeled a “White Supremacist” For Telling Black People to Stop Killing Each Other

    Ok... lemme correct... "paraphrased". Not a new concept for him. He's inferred similar many times before. (You OK with "inferred"?) You taken on the job of grammar Nazi?

    Charles Barkley Labeled a “White Supremacist” For Telling Black People to Stop Killing Each Other

    I'm a long time fan of Barkely. Besides being the "Round Mound of Rebound", he a sensible and articulate guy. He basically is saying, "You're not doing yourself a favor acting like a gang-punk nigger, make something of yourself and become your own success".

    Should Confederate War Memorials/Statues Be Abolished?

    The HELL they can't, apparently! You just watch.

    equality and the stupidity of American Left

    It's kind of a "de facto" consent. The government takes more and more power a little bit at a time... not fast enough to cause the hoi polloi to rise up in protest to stop them. Eventually the government acquires total power and the people query, "WTF happened to our rights and freedoms"...

    No Spreadsheet Needed

    He was talking about "sale of stock to repay loan". Those proceeds would be subject to capital gains tax. You're talking about "stepped-up cost basis" in the estate... different topic.

    No Spreadsheet Needed

    Most of the tax policy of the US is based upon one principle... "The government wants your money and has the power to take it". No further justification required or offered.... including "reasonableness" or "fairness". Example. You own stock in a company that makes a profit. The company is...

    No Spreadsheet Needed

    There would be income and/or capital gains on the stock sale, negating this argument. The fact that some people manage to get themselves "special treatment" to avoid other taxes in no way justifies the estate tax.

    No Spreadsheet Needed

    The "principles" of the Constitution righteously do not include anything about "estate tax". The government should not have first claim on your income, your property or your wealth/estate. How dense can you be? I've got more than $11,000,000.. and I'm going to do whatever is necessary to make...
