    How's your day been today

    As you can see, the research in the U.S. is always biased, as pure unbiased research is almost never done. Just as in the studies cited, studies in the U.S. are biased by industry funding.

    What's bothering you right now?

    I vote for a small weasel, perhaps an ermine if you have them there. They are notoriously difficult to trap, however. Good luck @Mary Stetler. Ermine will take your eggs and occasionally kill a chicken but that is rare. You will find broken empty eggs though.

    What's your Weather like today

    It is warming today. It is up to -1 F. and may go above 0 F. today with snow. We'' see. It will get cold again next week after the snow passes. It is nearing -50 F. in the interior at least it was at the beginning of this week and will get down there again next week I think.

    What's bothering you right now?

    I have had at least two reviews rejected because they were low or bad. At least there were two that told me they were rejecting my reviews. I don't often review products as poor, but two that I did give poor reviews were refused. That let me know that reviews on the products I purchased in...

    Piers Morgan thanks New York for electing Mamdani

    I just saw that New York City that once hosted 125 Fortune 500 companies but now has only 50. Texas now is home to 54 of the Fortune 500 companies and has passed NYC in this category since Mamdani's election. Florida has something in the high 20s. JP Morgan-Chase now has more employees in...

    Obamacare continuation. A scheme.

    You have heard me rant about the ACA. It was designed to destroy U.S. healthcare as it existed, and it truly has done a lot toward that end so far. It now has to be subsidized by the government to even make it viable. That is all largely why Nancy Pelosi didn't want anyone to read the act...

    Are we going to war with Venezuela?

    Certainly generally so, but the strategic position and mineral wealth is why Trump wanted Greenland. Iceland is a NATO nation and Greenland is owned by Denmark, who is also in NATO, but much of Greenland is not accessible similar to Alaska. Greenland has very few people and a low standard of...

    Are we going to war with Venezuela?

    Some of that stuff is done just to rile the Left. He does want some access to Greenland, but he never wanted Canada. Stuff he said about Canada was to ridicule the government there, and demonstrate how much of their country they have lost that was once great, just as we have lost much of what...

    What is going on in the UK!

    The same has happened here but perhaps to a lesser extent except in rural areas, but Trump is trying to repair some of the damage and the politicians, the media, and the Deep State are fighting everything he does. The propaganda machine is running strong and finance by the same people on both...

    Are we going to war with Venezuela?

    Not so easy. those boats will be offloaded onto smaller boats in international waters and instead of dealing with one, two, or three boats, we could be dealing with 50+ boats and the crews. A lot more people could be killed and many of them would probably be American drug dealers. I think he...

    Are we going to war with Venezuela?

    Nope, those tankers reversed course. The tankers we seized were full of oil and leaving Venezuela. We have seized 3 tankers that I know about, but many more have elected not to visit Venezuela until things settle, a bit like the Houthis in the Red Sea. Tankers especially are avoiding them.

    Epstein Files, finally?

    From what I read, the Kennedy Center was due to be torn down, as the building had deteriorated due to lack of proper maintenance. Trump allegedly decided to save the building and talked some of his billionaire buddies into sponsoring the refurbishment to save the structure, and it was some of...

    Are we going to war with Venezuela?

    It is all very dangerous. Yes, it may be that the U.S. has (mostly unilaterally) sanctioned the tankers involved in the seizures, but tanker and ship registry in general is very nebulous. Ships can be owned by one nation, or even a group of national entities, and flagged under another nation...

    Metals, a Hedge or Investment Depending on Your Views... or a Sucker's Bet?

    I know nothing of the video, but I do know about the threat from Europe to seize Russian assets. I think Trump is one of those trying to stop that seizure from happening, and that is being said to show that Trump is pro-Putin, when that is certainly not the case now after Putin's reneging on...

    Epstein Files, finally?

    The Left thought they could selectively release bits and pieces edited to make it look like Trump was implicated in something. That strategy was forestalled by the release of the entire thing. They never cared about women or children as was witnessed by the stuff that took place during the...

    Are we going to war with Venezuela?

    We have seized three tankers now, at least one owned by Chinese interests. Are we picking a war with China? Why are we seizing oil if the problem is drugs?? I realize we are trying to push Maduro out of power, but are we not doing stuff similar to what Russia initially did in Ukraine that so...

    What's your Weather like today

    That is the city, and Anchorage probably doesn't average too much colder than you, but our winters are longer. Out here, it gets much colder, but our pipes never have standing water.

    Traffic

    People here treat roundabouts in somewhat the same fashion as most of us have high-clearance, 4-wheel drive trucks.
