    Seriously? So you are saying Jen Psaki is pure as the driven snow and she doesn't lie. Come on man! Psaki outright lied as State Department Spokesperson. Conway and Spice were horrible, I liked Huckabee, she gave what she got...Post Spicer that press room was radioactive and combative from the first day she walked to the podium. The point of the post was they are sticking to a script and if it isn't on the script they don't know what to do. She is the White House Press Secretary, she should do better than fumble through a book for a scripted answer and when she can't find it "circle back." For the record, during my career "I don't know" was usually an acceptable answer especially during my time at the WIC if it was followed up with, but I know how to find the answer. It was not an acceptable answer on a checkride if we were talking ops limits, it was not an acceptable answer in a TIC if I asked where the friendlies were, and it was not acceptable the night my wife was driving our family to dinner off base and a young asshat Airman was driving so crazy he ran us off the road and into a field. Quick story...For two miles this chump tried to pass us in heavy traffic and nearly clipped the back of our SUV both times. My wife is not a slow driver and we were doing 60 in a 55, and he was still about a foot off our bumper trying to pass. He tried twice to pass and almost clipped us each time as he jumped back in line. When he finally did pass there was oncoming traffic and not enough room. He was was about dead even with us and my wife had to swerve off the road and into a field to avoid a head on collision, he kept on going. We got back on the road and wouldn't you know it he got caught at the long traffic light so we caught up to him. I had consumed a few adult beverages at the club and figured it best not to confront someone offbase so I wrote down his tag and called the Mission Support Group Commander to have the SPs run the tag (dude looked military). Wouldn't you know it came back to Airman Snuffy from Mx Sq... he was standing in my office at 0700 on Monday with his Sq/CC and Grp/CC. I asked him what were you thinking..."I don't know?" Did you think about stopping when you ran my wife, my son and my off the road and into that field...."I don't know..." That was his answer to everything. Only time I ever really went off on someone for "I don't know."

    Other similar events where I live. I guess there are 10 doses per vial and once they start using a vial they must use by end of day? The local Grocery store that is giving the vaccine has been going around the store just before closing asking if anyone regardless of what group they are in would like the vaccine so it doesn't go to waste.

    No shit! Watch this answer from Jen Psaki...gotta stick to the playbook! https://rumble.com/vde5n3-biden-press-sec-has-most-cringe-moment-yet-when-asked-legit-question.html

    Wait until Harris gets in the seat. If I were king for a day we would have a non-narcissist mentally capable president from one party who acts and speaks like a President. The House would be controlled by one party and we wouldn't have an 80 year lunatic as the speaker. The Senate would be controlled by the other party and the Majority leader would be of a reasonable mindset. They would be forced to work TOGETHER and DEBATE issues to work towards COMPROMISE as the framers intended. Who am I kidding?

    Gun Talk

    ClearedHot replied to VL-16's topic in Squadron Bar

    Ruger PC Charger with a Glock mag well to accept Glock large cap (32 round), magazines. I added the SB Tactical brace and a red dot. Fits nicely in my go bag and easy to hang on the back of the seat in the truck.

    Yeah no problem with his mental facilities...not a single coherent sentence in this rambling statement. Him good at math as well. Stooge.mp4

    You are correct and I am guilty of it as well. Obviously politics and policies that flow from politics have a great impact on the market and investing but we (I as well), should limit that to focused impact comments rather than political bitching...I'll do better and help others do the same.

    Chemtrails...wow, ok then. It is one thing to to claim regulatory action and restrict action on some stocks like adding positions in order to calm the storm. That is NOT the whole story. I have confirmed with at least five friends that Robinhood locked them out of their account for HOURS and would not let them sell as the stock lost 50% of its value. One friend finally gained access to his account at 3:29 CST yesterday and it was too late to do anything, not that he would have timed it perfectly at the top, but if he had this little lockout cost him $90,000. Their little statement about letting people sell their positions was a lie and not a "regulatory issue." Of course the shares short can't be greater than the free float yet Melvin shorted at 140%...so the regulatory actions only work when it is the little guy taking advantage? GTFOOH! This was completely to the benefit of the hedge funds and had nothing to do with Chemtrails.

    So the plot thickens on the Gamestop deal. This morning all Robinhood employees were given a $40 gift card...LOL Supposedly employees are disgusted by what happened yesterday and some want to speak out. Citadel continued their manipulation this morning and is working with Robinhood in a vain attempt to manipulate some of the crypto currencies (although Bitcoin was over $37,000 when I looked a little while ago) in an effort ot offset some of the hedge losses. I have head some of the Robinhood customers were using ethereum and such.

    I like the part where she called for government funding to reprogram people. Nothing like a good old Pol Pot style communist reeducation camp.

    Not sure why everything comes back to Trump? Trump did four EOs in the same period of time and that included reversing Obama policies.

    The average investor is at such a disadvantage...especially when the ruling class is all in on it. Don't want to read the article...summary - The Pelosis bought Tesla call options right before Biden announced the entire government fleet was going to switch to EV. https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2021/01/10280347/nancy-pelosi-tesla-stock-investment-politicians-ethics

    AOC is simply a horrible human being... On the comedic relief front I found this too funny not to post.

    Supposedly the SEC is already investigating and they are looking at the Reddit folks as possible manipulators...I don't know the answer here but I do know the hedge funds have been acting as market movers for years, driving prices up or down based on their deep pockets...when they finally get a taste of their own medicine that has made them billions and billions of dollars, they scream bloody murder.

    While Robinhood is saying they are allowing people to close positions, the reality is they locked many people out today. I have friends that were locked out of their accounts for hours and the stock price tumbled thus saving the hedge funds millions. I saw a report a little while ago saying a South Korean firm had been watching Gamestop and did not agree with the hedge fund short recommendation so they purchased a lot over the past two weeks. Their trading was not inhibited and they sold near the peak making approximately $1Billion in profit.

    Several lawsuits including a class action suit were filed against Robinhood today. I know some VERY pissed off people right now....several had large positions they tried to sell but were locked out of their accounts with no warning before Gamestop tumbled 50% today.

    Did you have Blackberry in the bullpen? It is funny how the recent actions around Gamstop, AMC and Blackberry started. I giant FU to moneymakers trying to short. The Reddit mob punked them hard out of their short position.

    Gamestop....kidding. It looks like today's Reddit Mob Market Mover is American Airlines.

    I start with investments, I've built wealth and want to protect it. I had three numbers when I first started. The first number was the lowest number I needed to retire, we could be careful, manage our spending and cover our expenses no issues. We hit that many years ago. The second number was living at our current quality of life now but not having to work. I have raised that number over the years as we have raised our standard of living, we keep acquiring toys and some of them (airplane/RV), are expensive. I have a very nice retirement as a 26 year O-6, my wife works and makes a great salary, I work and am over compensated for my capability, we also have a side business that brings in about $10,000 a month in passive income. I won't into specific numbers but I am forced to make quarterly tax payments of $15,000 in addition to our withholding and still have to make a huge tax payment every April...I know tough problem to have. We hit the second number several years ago. My third number was to be stupid rich and I never really thought it possible, but it is. Sorry for the long section on investments but I grew up poor and it really shaped me. The rest of the reading is loosely related because all of these policies and actions by the different political parties really impact where I put my money. I use Morgan Stanley as my wealth manager and they have a host of products I sort through each morning. CNBC has a great pre-market snapshot which also links to great articles about trends and emerging opportunities. The Motley Fool has a nice daily summary, but also has a lot of fluff and hidden advertisements. I also use Market Watch which is a great tool to get down in the weeds of investing should you so choose. I used to have a bridge between investments and the news and would read daily articles in the Economist, but they completely jumped the shark in the last two years and went full retard political which is truly sad because they have some great analysts. Around 0600 the Early Bird hits my email, it used to be so much better but still provides a summary of the previous day and the overnight actions in the defense industry. You can sign up, it is free. Next I look at BBC, like most they are biased but they also provide a world view. I think taking a few minutes to see how the rest of the world views us is very important. Keeping the previous theme in mind next I go to Al Jazeera which has excellent coverage on some things. Most days I cycle in the Washington Post and Wall Street Journal. I work most of the day and that requires other reading, some of it technical, most of it more strategic. As part of my job I spend an inordinate amount of time looking at the Federal budget. While not a lobbyist, for several years I have been going to the hill as an expert on a few key areas and technologies. During the week I cycle through Foxnews/CNN/ABC/CBS/NBC for an update, while we make dinner. My son is very active in sports so while he is practicing most nights I tend to read to pass the time. I have about 10 books going right now, a great one written by a good friend called When The Tempest Gathers I am purposely reading the book slowly and a bit at a time. Last week I finished Oliver North's new book The Rifleman, Admiral McRaven's book Sea Stories: My Life in Special Operations and Rum Curious which is a great book about the origins of Rum and a tasting guide which I found very useful...I also learned some things about the rum market and actually changed an investment because of it. This week I started a re-read of the classic The Odyssey by Homer. The classics are important and were used to frame the thinking of the founders of our country.
