    What's bothering you right now?

    Upper back pain since early August. The Salonpas patches seem to relieve it when they are placed properly. Acetaminophen/paracetamol and naproxen seem to work as well, but taking a systemic remedy for a localized pain never makes sense to me if I can avoid it.

    Has Trump outsmarted everybody?

    "Hitler" has now secured the release of both Hamas prisoners and Israeli hostages. It is amazing how the ol' corporal has changed over the decades. His approval rating is now higher than either Bush II or Obama at the same time in their terms despite of a relentless attack by the media. The...

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

    No idea where it could be. I think the New York Federal Reserve Bank has a large stash as well.

    Protests and riots in the United States .

    You are correct. Violent protests are what often leads to authoritarian reactions which in turn can lead to dictatorships. These idiots may bring upon themselves what they say they don't want. It is sometimes said that the Left is quick to protest and the Right is slow to react, but when the...

    TONY' THOUGHT JOURNAL 2.0

    I restarted a subscription to a local newspaper this fall. It has news I cannot easily get from the internet such as obits, local school sports, and articles about what the local and state governments are about to foist upon us. It also carries profiles of local political candidates and...

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

    repegging gold could mean that we could pay off te national debt with it if we have the reserves we claim to have. Whether those reserves exist or not has been a matter for speculation however.

    Afghanistan has attacked Pakistan

    Allegedly the Taliban in Afghanistan have attacked Pakistan using the weapons that the Biden Administration left behind. Thus it appears that the U.S. Army and Marine Corps (weapons) have attacked the Pakistanis as a proxy using the weapons and vehicles (and a few aircraft). The reason behind...

    Trump has invoked the Insurrection Act

    I understand that the ICE raids are most prominent where illegal residents are. It is the Blue States fighting against Federal law enforcement that makes the news. The raids in Texas and Tennessee don't make the news if the governor and the mayor aren't acting illegally to defend the illegals...

    Humphrey's Executor may get overturned

    Trump has been sued (again) over a firing of a bureaucrat. This case has already worked through the court system and has arrived at the Supreme Court. Humphrey's Executor was a case in 1935 when FDR tried to fire a member of the Federal Trade Commission and the Supreme Court at that time found...

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

    Paper silver and gold are always to be questioned. It is done to make it quickly convertible in large quantities by central banks and large holders. Fro smal owners of precious metals, it is not the best things as the "Big Guys" will always be paid first and the is never enough metal to cover...

    We have a lot of bold eagles here @Tony Page. They absolutely destroyed our domestic ducks when we had them--got every one...13 I think. We see them often in our back yard and the wild ducks seldom get taken. A neighbor once had a young eagle drop fish on her doorstep almost every day for a...

    I think actors should be apolitical. That is the way it was for decades before the Democrat party switched to the other side and become the party of the wealthy instead of the working class. The Republicans now appear to be on the side of the working class and the Dems are supported by the...

    Has Trump outsmarted everybody?

    He also isn't very good at judge shopping. The Democrats are much better at that. Both Comey and James will appear before Democrat judges.

    Has Trump outsmarted everybody?

    Now Letitia James, the New York State Attorney General who bent the law to go after Trump for Fraud, now has been indicted for Fraud herself. She is accused of a similar crime to what she accused Trump of doing. James is denying the charges just as Trump did, and is showing that what she ran...

    Has Trump outsmarted everybody?

    If it has "truth" in the name, it probably isn't so.

    Trump has invoked the Insurrection Act

    The election corruption in Philadelphia and Atlanta is well known, as is Chicago, of course. Seattle always seems to find "hidden" ballots that tip the election. I think in one gubernatorial race in Washington, the Republican led right down to the finding of a box of "forgotten" ballots above...

    Trump has invoked the Insurrection Act

    Yep. Normal for Chicago where the gangs reign but there is no crime according to the mayor there.

    The actor who plays Reacher went on a big anti-Trump rant a while ago, and he alienated many of the folks, including me, who watched the show. I liked the casting better than casting Tom Cruise as Reacher in the movie. Filling the role of a 6'4" kinds bad guy who was not particularly handsome...
