Bear charges the Kraken mascot. It strikes me that it's dumb to risk that a bear might especially be bothered by such a thing, and I found it funny. Nobody gets hurt so that helped it be hilarious I guess

If someone ever leads the charge (what's Mike Johnson doing) to fix gerrymandering across the board, instead of one sided proposals, it might get addressed.

Otherwise, everyone is going to play with deflated footballs to make the game fair.


As a Patriots fan and TB12 fan, I applaud you!

That being said, gerrymandering to protect incumbents and to keep seats safe for one political party went to SCOTUS. The Roberts court ruled that such gerrymandering is a political question and not a judicial case or controversy. So, here we are.

If asked in 2023 that would have been my answer. Once again, I live in the real world. There are many legitimate reasons that a Congressman might have to miss a certain vote. This is NOT about missing a vote. This is about preventing a vote from happening because you know you are going to lose.


You were asked in 2023. The same as being asked here. As far as is known, you stayed silent.

Top ten stocks make up 40% of the SPX:


A few of those firms are fudging books, Enron style.

I think the first one to get caught will be NVDA.







The USA is truly the land of opportunity (to cheat and steal too).

Is every NVDA employee a multi-millionaire (worth over $25 million)?


Other than new hires, which employees of the Big 10 are not multi-millionaires?

What is the percentage of the Big 10 employees that are non-citizens (H1-B)?

If she breaks the bubble top in the short term, it's a trap:


A huge 25 year cup like this needs a long downward handle for momentum purposes to break through the selling resistance (like a slingshot).

But watch how the Mockingbird will hype folks up if price penetrates the top a little, so folks pile in at the top.


Retail will think price broke-out to the upside.

And then of course, "we know the rest of the story, good day." - Paul Harvey.


It'll be fun to watch.

Appears runaway Texas legislators took illegal transportation and board for their little stunt. So much for it not being criminal.

There is this neat website called google.com where you can search for this stuff. It probably was not reported by PMSDNC or Chicken Noodle News feeds you watch,

I'm well aware of it, and am also well aware of your attempted obfucation.

This is a breaking news item and you wouldn't have known to google it had you not learned of it elsewhere...which of course you did from FOX NEWS, the source you cited to.

You didn't learn it from google, you got it intravenously from Fox.

But of course you did, and who could blame you from not admitting it?

I mean we ALL know that Fox News is full of shit.

bwa ha ha ha
