    Trump supporting totalitarianism

    Just as he has, or had, no idea where Somalia was, he obviously also had no knowledge of politics in Turkey. I imagine he does now. The guy is totally unqualified to be our President, but on the other hand he is very likely to know a good deal about common law and the statutes of limitations...

    What is the historical evidence that Jesus Christ lived and died?

    Sadly an original copy of Josephus writings is not known to exist. All that is available are manuscripts presumably hand copied from the original. How old are the copies. They must post-date the establishment of the Christian church by Paul. What's always puzzled me is why the authors of the...

    The Evangelical Roots of Our Post-Truth Society

    Your post is laughable. I don't know how many peer reviewed papers there are that call into question the Hansen Hypothesis, but it is surely in the hundreds by now. I'll simply call your attention to Lindzen's important 1994 paper published in Environmental Pollution. Lindzen is retired from...

    The Evangelical Roots of Our Post-Truth Society

    But unfortunately this is simply untrue. And you yourself know the names of prominent scientists that work in the field of climate science, atmospheric physics , or meteorology that are either unsure about the role CO2 plays or believe CO2 is not the main reason for temperature rise.

    Social Security/Medicare Ponzi Scheme

    As I pointed out DI should not be lumped in with OASI . It has a quite different set of problems, much less easily addressed. The 2035 estimated date for OASI is assuming congress continues to disregard the Trustees recommendations as they have for a number of years now. There is nothing at...

    The Evangelical Roots of Our Post-Truth Society

    At the risk of being swept into the vortex, I shall tip toe a bit around the rim. Re: 1 & 2. Neither Man made CO2 causing warming nor a pathway from non-life to life, are, however, precluded by your observations. My view on 1. is different. I am satisfied that the science is now quite...

    Social Security/Medicare Ponzi Scheme

    yes I did. If you read it all, then you will likely be the only one. But nevertheless it is extremely important for younger people to understand he tremendous value of social security in our society. We must fight against those that want to abolish it for ulterior motives. It is one of our...

    Social Security/Medicare Ponzi Scheme

    The U.S. Social Security old age pension system has become the model for the entire Western developed World. It is not, of course, a Ponzi scheme. Every congressman and senator should be required to take a course in how social security is designed to work, as many obviously don't understand...

    Donald Trump Has Caused The Left to Lose Its Mind

    Better relations with Russia would be a nice thing. But if I were Putin I'd be cautious about cozying up to the world's most meddlesome nation. If suddenly the U.S. started acting nice, I'm not sure I'd trust them. Maybe we could break the ice and build trust with an exchange program between...

    Report: US could destroy North Korea's nuclear site this weekend

    "Confidential," as in "keep this under your hat, but we've decided that Easter weekend would be a dandy time to vaporize the Korea peninsula." :cool:

    What risk management mistakes did Victor Niederhoffer make to blow up a few times?

    On second though, I want to take this statement back . I think the HFT folks have found a way to legally eliminate most risk. The SEC may be looking into this. And when they finally figure out what's really going on and how and why the HFT traders are able to jump ahead of you in the queue...

    You are one of the few good traders on ET. My brain is old and especially tired today. Could you possibly explain this in a way an old, tired brain can grasp.

    Soros Sued by Fellow Billionaire in $10 Billion Mine Brawl

    I would guess that this suit will go the way of BSGR's similar suits.

    Troops sent to Somalia

    Remember Trump doesn't know where Somalia is. He's only been President a few weeks and he certainly did not know where Somalia was before he became President. These decisions are not made by Trump, he just takes credit for them if he thinks it will make him more popular. If any thing goes...

    What risk management mistakes did Victor Niederhoffer make to blow up a few times?

    Leverage! Way too much that is! Same reason exactly that LTCM went under. Too much leverage. Then when things turn South you'll find yourself trapped. That's why those whose number one concern is safety of principal will use, if they know what they are doing, little to no leverage. Leverage...

    Trump talks down dollar, pivots on labeling China a currency manipulator

    ha ha ha . If you go back to what I wrote you'll realize I did not comment on the lying skills of republicans relative to other good liars. i merely made note of their impressive skills when it comes to hoodwinking the ones they are going to screw the most into voting for them. You gotta...
