Something that should be read by 2nd Amendment nuts is Scalia's paragraph below taken directly from Scalia majority opinion in District of Columbia v Heller. To wit: (bold and underlining are mine) "... Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited. From...

I am wondering at how you arrived at this conclusion? : "Their bogus 'profits' now only say that their customers will soon be unable to repay their loans."

What Tucker told us is an example of an actual fact being presented so as to invite interpretation as a non-factual, alternative fact. It is a fact that there are American ex-military fighting in Ukraine, presumably on Ukraine's side. Tucker was right when he said "There are American Soldiers...

Lying requires that the liar know they are lying. This is the difference between unintentionally saying something untrue and lying. A legal line has been drawn by the Court. The first Amendment gives us the right to express opinions that embrace what we know are lies, however we may skate on...

Well said, and much food for thought.

It takes all kinds to make a world, and therefore i thank you for your contribution to our world. . But don't let my gratitude go to your head, because I wouldn't go so far as to say your kind is necessary to our world.

Thanks for posting this. It really clears things up. Jesus was just a little shrimp only about 5'4". I used to think it would be impossible for him to roll that big stone away from the mouth of his cave, not to mention the difficulty after being dead for three days. But now I understand how it...

Why post this nonsense? You've taken something putativly related to Covid-19 infection and falsely attributed it to Vaccines against Covid infection, while also falsely suggesting the Swiss public health agency is terminating its Covid vaccine recommendation because of the report of Covid...

inflation as high as we have today is always something to worry about. It's like a contagion. Once it starts it's hard to stop without pain... It's the pain of the disease of continued inflation versus the pain of the side effects of the medicine used to cure the disease.

Fundamentally, the root problems in Venezuelan economy, taken all together, are complex. They have one primary export product they can sell for dollars on the world stage. This amounts to almost the entirety of their exchange account resource. What they have done in response to this too-narrow...

The Fed is offering to evaluate securities at par for collateral purposes. The bank will still own the encumbered securities unless they default on their loan. In that case the Fed would recover the money lent once the securities either went up in value or matured, plus any interest received...

Of course. This has never been an issue. However some people think incorrectly that the federal reserve gives money to banks . Of course they don't do that.

The Fed is not an investor and can loan against collateral such as Treasuries at par. This would typically be through the discount window at the current discount rate. The Par refers to evaluation of the collateral. The institution still must have enough collateral valued at par to cover their...

This article is wrong headed in my opinion. It confuses bailing out of depositors with bailing out banks. Insolvent banks have never been bailed out. Banks that were solvent but had liquidity problems or mark to market problems due to market failures have been "bailed out", but insolvent banks...

You have accomplished the seemingly impossible. How do you do it? What's your secret. How is it possible to be 100% wrong all the time?

You're nuts! This has nothing to do with "anyone" getting their hands on those documents. It has to do with Trump getting them. He does not have a security clearance! He's never had one! He didn't need one as President. Now that he isn't President, but just a run of the mill JACKASS, he's...

Many, and I include myself here, understood that once it was clear that the Biden administration would (a) not rescind the Trump tariffs; (b) would pick a fight with China assisted by the GOP; (c) would probably not succeed in pushing through a big tax increase for those making over 400K per...

This will not happen anytime soon , but when it does happen it is likely to happen quickly.

Banks do go bust, and when they do, bankers lose their jobs and common share holders lose the money they have invested. That's all very much consistent with Capitalism! But you as a depositor are not an investor, and you won't go bust when your bank does, because you are protected by a strong...
