Sounds good to me. The word ‘war’ doesn’t carry any weight if we are still ‘at war’ with North Korea. To me, if we aren’t killing them (Iranians) and they aren’t killing us (Americans) we are not ‘at war’. I don’t care how someone else defines war.

So if f Hormuz opens, the results will be…. Decimated Iranian Navy. Decimated Iranian Air Force. Dozens of top Iranian officials eliminated. Damaged/destroyed Iranian nuclear facilities. Their top scientists gone. Decimated Iranian economy. (That’s bad..). US stock market up 8 weeks in a row. That’s EIGHT.
We will see if oil prices drift downwards. Possibly not. Same with overall prices.

I can tell you what’s important. We are having a Memorial Day party here and the kitchen sink is clogged. Mr. Roto Rooter on the way….


Well, they weren't shooting at us and we weren't (or shouldn'tbe) shooting at them before the war.

Donny and Bibi's actions are might makes right, not might for right.

Today is a at least a time and half or perhaps even double time day!


It was! But I’ve turned over a new leaf. I know I’m not going to die penniless so things like this just deplete kids’ inheritance.

In The Villages golfed with a guy whose wife was having medical issues. He opined ‘If money can fix it, it’s not a problem. If money can’t fix it, it’s a problem.’

It’s all fixed. And wifey and daughter cleaned it up spiffy.

It is said to have the goal to spend your last dollar on the day you die.

I disagree with that. I am happy knowing my hard work will help my grandkids and kids not need to worry about money. It’s more a priority to me than an afterthought.

Stock market does not matter. Biden set records with 9 weeks in a row, and we heard endlessly how this was irrelevant and not his doing. It's funny, now that the stock market is something that matters.... In any case I am consistent, doesn't matter then or now. But, if it matters to you, Biden had a better total weeks of increases than Trump....

So, in your mind if we sunk some ships and damaged some plans a deal weaker than Obama's is justified? This is pretty hard copium...

And, yes being in an indefinite cease fire for over 60 years versus a permeant solution does matter (it is the main reason we still have 25k-40k troops sitting in Korea at all times...). Acting like a second scenerio like this would be ideal and acceptable is more copium... Good luck ever visiting Iran if we are in a perpetual ceasefire for the rest of our lives....

I hope you get your sink fixed in time!
