    MALA and your money

    Not to mention the fact that those we need to buy our products are looking more than ever at others for sourcing, and those who have bought our bonds are looking for other options as well.

    MALA and your money

    Thanks Donald! But the reality is sure different as can be easily seen all over the country--as just about every newspaper has covered the impacts. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/06/us/north-carolina-medicaid-cuts.html...

    MALA and your money

    This was a prescient post. Lots of info out there suggested many Republican legislators told Trump passing his bill would lead to their losing control of at least one and possibly both houses of Congress. Trump didn't care of course. Also Vance and others said right after it's passage that...

    Make America Beautiful Again EO

    I think most get the debt issue. Selling public land to the foreigners is the head scratcher.

    Make America Beautiful Again EO

    Not paranoid. There's a republican legislator in my state whose behavior and actions are a great example of how we need to be worried. Land sales is the tip of the iceberg..

    Retirement data

    Recent but expected.. Had several advisors from major companies suggest a higher portion of foreign last fall. US market factors are very strong...policy and policy impact uncertainty has been holding them back.

    Retirement data

    All payoff options should take interest rates into account. For example our mortgage is at 2.85%. No brainer that investing makes more sense than paying that off, with even conservative avg market return projections running much better than that rate.

    Retirement data

    There's a law firm in my state that has specialized in suits against companies like yours. They are doing well...the class action employees not as well but they are seeing improvements in their plans going forward as a result. Bottom line...if all the choices in your plan have as high expense...

    Retirement data

    For months now...you can figure out the timing....foreign has beat the pants off domestic. 2 to 3 times better returns than domestic. US dollar value has dropped to where it was in Nixon's day.

    NRA response the US Public Land Sale

    Then why did they work AGAINST taking the Heller case to the SCUS?

    NRA response the US Public Land Sale

    For me the issue is that NRA claims to only be about guns AND hunting use of guns but routinely shows it's highly partisan reality and routinely supports candidates who are horrible on conservation causes. To the best of my knowledge GOA sticks much closer to just being about guns and is not...

    NRA response the US Public Land Sale

    It's not just taking a cautious approach, time and again they have supported legislators who are anti conservation even though their opponent was just as good on guns. They did not support going forward with the case that led to solidifying the 2nd in the SCUS either. Left them long ago...

    More trouble in the legislature

    No, decreasing in lower density areas is harder because of the crossbow law. The success rates with crossbow are very high in comparison with traditional archery as well. Crossbow harvest has increased over muzzleloader now. Whether that's a problem depends on perspective I suppose, but a...

    Primary mike lee?

    Not directly familiar but much of the time on these issues they work hard through broad misinformation campaigns...with the aid of right leaning media programming focused more on agendas than accurate reporting....to build support for issues that people would not support if they understood real...

    Moon Phase vs Rut?

    It's changing day length--photoperiod--that is normally the cue for cervid rut timing. Moon phase can affect activity but not the timing of the rut--if that's what you are asking for. Deer go all night when the moon is full or nearly so as the peak of the rut starts. With elk I would expect...

    Primary mike lee?

    Sure has taken over in my state too. We have had some very strong republicans on conservation in the past. I have voted for several and my family has been involved in their campaigns as well. These days they have almost all been drummed out of the party at the primary stage--including some...

    Israel attacks Iran’s nuclear facilities

    And the one--albeit imperfect--lever we had to keep track of their nuke progress was ended by Trump--and not reinstated as part of his "negotiated truce".

    Interesting piece from an interesting source.... https://www.sltrib.com/opinion/editorial/2025/06/20/tribune-editorial-apology-we-wish/

    Israel attacks Iran’s nuclear facilities

    Heard multiple experienced folks say the same thing...what we had under other POTUS was an agreement that had monitoring and real economic sanctions. This cease fire has no monitoring or any agreement on nukes, it's widely believed Iran moved nuke building materials before Israel started...

    Israel attacks Iran’s nuclear facilities

    Worth quoting from the article... Only on Saturday the Houthi group in Yemen - staunch Iranian allies - had threatened to attack US ships transiting through the Red Sea if America entered the war. American military personnel, businesses, and citizens in the region are now potential targets...
