Bears pull off another one.

Wasn't pretty until they needed it, but they found a way.

Senate votes to advance rescissions bill

Damn. 3 GOP voted no, resulting in a tie, but they're waiting for Vance to come and break it.
Cowards. That pretty much indicates to me that it will pass when the actual vote comes up.

Sorriest bunch of weak, impotent politicians I've seen in my lifetime.

WTF!? Did Trump actually give permission for Iran to shoot at our base in Qatar?

"You saw that, where 14 missiles were shot at us the other day. And they were very nice. They gave us warning. They said, “We’re going to shoot them.”

“Is 1 o’clock OK? They said it’s fine.” And everybody was emptied off the base, so they couldn’t get hurt, except for the gunners. They call them the gunners. And out of 14 high-end missiles that were shot at the base in Qatar, all 14, as you know, were shot down by our equipment. Amazing stuff, amazing what they can do."

As an AF Vet, I can't believe the clown would claim he did that. I'll chalk it up to him exaggerating out his ass again, but why isn't anyone mentioning how effed up that is?

TACO and the latest tariff madness

The most recent increase in the steel and aluminum tariffs are insane. Fortunately for him, releasing the news on a Friday brought him a bit of a buffer. But the ramifications are going to be severe, even if it's not reflected right away in the markets Monday. So my question is; will the recent ridicule he received for "always chickening out" cause him to really dig in this time? We know how thin skinned he is. But to be honest, if we ever really wanted him to back down, this might be a time.

Hot pepper bird seed

Good morning.
So I saw this for the first time the other day. Now that we have bird feeders up, it's always a challenge keeping those clever squirrels away. Has anyone tried this seed that's supposedly not enticing to squirrels but absolutely no different to birds? Does it really work that way?

Looking at Trump's government run and paid for "Drudge" clone site. We are truly in Twilight Zone territory

It's the most blazing exhibit of State controlled propaganda I have ever witnessed.
They should call it "The Trumpf Retort"

Fox Reporter Says the Trump White House Is Giving Wall Street Executives Inside Info on Tariff Negotiations.

This was from Mediaite.
We all know the volatility in the market right now, and an announcement of a trade deal with India would likely send the indexes soaring. How is this not insider information?
