- 201Posted by JakeOrilley 1 week, 1 day ago to TGIFfunnies 10/30/26 EDITION: Words of WisdomAnd excellent collection, and good reminder that they are not all going to be funny.
The lawn sign - haven't made that mistake yet, but could certainly happen in local elections!
And the talking one - excellent advise!
And driving - obviously not paying attention to the road.
And party like the hobbits!
Thanks for the post OGC! - 202Posted by 73SHARK 1 week, 1 day ago to TGIFfunnies 10/30/26 EDITION: Words of WisdomAll good ones. Some were funny and others were good words of wisdom.

At one point, the story goes, he found out that if he controlled the editors of the major newspapers (the big ones), he could control the narrative. So, he did.
I think it became the CFR. And their goal was to make sure they NEVER covered what they were doing.
I know this indirectly. We had the case of a Dr. who was injecting himself with HIV+ blood.
To make the point that this is not what is killing these people.
It was NOT ALLOWED to make the news or the front page of any newspaper.
Not too long, he had a "heart attack" and died. He mad the news in other countries.
Just not ours.
Modern Version: Who is showing you that STATINS can lead to dementia?
In fact, there is a study of Seniors who developed dementia. Take them off the statins for like 2 months, and like 80% are no longer diagnosed with dementia. Put them back on, and in 2 months or so, they register as having dementia.
BTW, WTF is a SENIOR taking a statin for? To prevent a heart-attack (supposedly caused by plaque build up that the statin prevents... Which is not even true, because they don't measure it, and statins tend to increase plaque over time... LOL)...
My aunt just had this happen to her, WE detected the issues, asked if they put her on a statin. At 86, they had doubled her dose. WTF? She is thin and healthy/active. But now suffering brain fog, forgetting things. I told her it is likely the statin, she might want to try the old dose (she has NEVER had a heart attack)... she did that. And within 2 weeks felt so much better, she stopped taking the statin completely. And she said "I thought I was just losing it because I was getting old!"
But NOBODY shall know anything that they don't want you to know. That doesn't PUSH you in the direction they need you to be pushed. It's all lies. Fauci ran the HIV=AIDS fraud. I believe it has NEVER been proven that HIV causes AIDS. They changed the definition of AIDS to "require HIV+ result". Kary Mullis (PCR inventor) pointed this out, and was quickly ex-communicated. - 204Posted by freedomforall 1 week, 1 day ago to Bots and AI running the market - how to copeSet stops and expect that Wall Street's bots will run them and

- 206Posted by jack1776 1 week, 1 day ago to Pondering thoughts – why is the Fed is raising interest rates?Historical Home Prices in Ounces of Gold
• 1963: A median new U.S. house cost about 505 to 509 ounces of gold (when gold was fixed/low around $35/oz and median home prices were under $18,000).
• 1970: A typical home cost roughly 714 ounces of gold ($25,000 home price at $35/oz).
• 1980 (First Low Peak): Following the 1970s inflation wave, the cost to buy a house bottomed out at around 80 to 100 ounces of gold.
• 2000–2001 (Peak Ratio / Most Expensive for Gold): Because gold languished in a bear market while real estate boomed, a home peaked at roughly 450 to 545 ounces of gold (gold traded near $279/oz).
• 2011: A median home required about 105 ounces of gold.
• 2016 (Q1): A median home required about 260 ounces of gold (gold at ~$1,201/oz).
• 2022: As nominal home prices surged post-pandemic, the ratio reached roughly 171 to 227 ounces of gold before gold prices accelerated.
• 2025–2026 (Current Trend): Rapid gold price appreciation (surpassing $4,000+ per ounce) pushed the ratio down to a range of 86 to 142 ounces of gold, marking one of the cheapest historical eras to buy a house using gold.
means our money is becoming worthless - 207Posted by chad 1 week, 1 day ago to Pondering thoughts – why is the Fed is raising interest rates?What a rigged game. You technically earned nothing on increased value of property because of decreased value of currency and have to pay the con artists ensuring a dead loss.
- 208Locally, we have a few important decisions on the ballot in NV. I see the news on what's happening across the country with this election and it's troubling. If can't see that commie factions supported by a culture that thinks it's ok to marry children is trying to take our beautiful nation I have a good deal on a new bridge. The fact that we're even having the discussion and that it's on our ballot REALLY doesn't look good. Really...
- 209Posted by $ Abaco 1 week, 1 day ago to Pondering thoughts – why is the Fed is raising interest rates?Thanks for that. I hope Trump pulls it off, I really do.

I'm going to vote if I have to crawl there on hands and knees and cast for every R on the ballot. I live in a totally D area, but I want to at least let "them" know I'm here.

It looks like Capone may have finally found a way to take down Ness.
- 214Posted by mccannon01 1 week, 1 day ago to Pondering thoughts – why is the Fed is raising interest rates?Good question, but it seems to be an ongoing problem. Today's America is saddled with the IRS and the Fed and various other government programs and entities because too many people found it difficult to "see". Hard to believe people still vote D (commie), too.
- 215Posted by mccannon01 1 week, 1 day ago to Pondering thoughts – why is the Fed is raising interest rates?Yes, well worth reading!
- 216Posted by mccannon01 1 week, 1 day ago to Pondering thoughts – why is the Fed is raising interest rates?HAD to + all of that! Same goes for the record highs on the Dow - as the dollar is worth less and less it takes more of them to buy the same share of stock and, as you pointed out, the tax man has his hand out when you sell. Smoke and mirrors.

- 218Posted by CaptainKirk 1 week, 1 day ago to Pondering thoughts – why is the Fed is raising interest rates?Don't forget the great financial crisis.
CitiBank had a 42 Lever Ratio.
They borrowed against their "assets" (or loaned out the same money), 42 times.
So, when they make 10% on loans, but have a 42 Lever. The were making 420% PER YEAR.
Problem when housing prices dropped 5% (times 42), they lost 210% of the original money.
And that's when/why bailouts had to happen.
Leverage Cuts both ways. 10x was the old norm, so you made a 3% spread x 10 = 30% on your capital.
But greed takes over! - 219Posted by CaptainKirk 1 week, 1 day ago to Pondering thoughts – why is the Fed is raising interest rates?Case in Point.
How is it possible my 32 yr old house (I bought new)... I worth 4 TIMES what I paid for it???
It's not. The dollar in 1994 was simply worth 4 times more than it is now.
Here: A Burger King Whopper meal cost $3.49 in the mid-1990s and costs $11.49 today. A gallon of gas averaged $1.11 in 1994 and averages $4.48 today
it looks pretty consistent... Doesn't it!
And get this. You owe taxes on your capital gains CAUSED by inflation. What a friggin' scam! - 220Posted by Dobrien 1 week, 1 day ago to Pondering thoughts – why is the Fed is raising interest rates?The FED is the enemy of the people. The Warburgs from Prussia were the architects of the debt based system, early 1900’s designed to control USA and hold it back. Our money says it all ‘Federal reserve Note”
A note is a written, legally binding debt instrument in which a borrower makes an unconditional promise to pay a fixed or variable sum of money to a lender either on demand or on a specified future date.
We pay 6% per annum for all outstanding “notes”.
The system is designed to fail. Trump is creating an income based system to replace the debt system that has enslaved the people. Recent appointee to assist the Treasury Sec Bessent is Judy Shelton she has a plan to restore sound money….hint Gold.

Q - 221Posted by Dobrien 1 week, 1 day ago to Pondering thoughts – why is the Fed is raising interest rates?We have a govt bond crisis , here and in Japan and the EU.
- 222Posted by Dobrien 1 week, 1 day ago to Pondering thoughts – why is the Fed is raising interest rates?Supply shortages do not cause inflation. Inflation has one cause and it is printing of fiat currency.
Look at the M1 money supply chart. It’s parabolic and it mirrors the devaluation of the dollar. - 223Posted by Dobrien 1 week, 1 day ago to Pondering thoughts – why is the Fed is raising interest rates?Exactly
- 224Posted by Dobrien 1 week, 1 day ago to Pondering thoughts – why is the Fed is raising interest rates?Spot on ….why is that so difficult for people to see.
- 225Posted by $ Thoritsu 1 week, 2 days ago to Ukraine Is Becoming Another Verdun. (The EU's Open Border, Socialist Policies Are The Reason.)What are we supposed to take away from this about Europe and Russia? Seems like nothing.
China and the US is a very different event. And Iran is a waste of missiles because we are only using missiles. Trump made a BIG mistake going after Iran. It will cost us both houses. While we should absolutely remove Iran’s government. The US people do not have the intestinal fortitude to do it, and it will not be as easy as Venezuela. It could be just like Iraq, and would flip much faster. This is not 2002. Trump, probably urged by Hegseth, fucked this up. Marco Rubio knew better.
Palmer Lucky is a good libertarian, but he knows nothing about this, and Anduril is a clown show. When the administration stops propping them up, they will fail.
