ParticipantJapan’s government bond market is finally going “supernova” after more than two decades of can-kicking.

ParticipantOne of Tom Lehrer’s real gems.
I would have to put it right up there with “The Vatican Rag”.Bam_Man
ParticipantI think there is a typo in that headline.
It should read “One in Four Americans Financially Literate”.
And there is a big difference between “Rouge” and “Rogue”.Bam_Man
ParticipantThe fatal flaw in their CBDC/Digital ID plan is that virtually nobody is going to be willing to perform actual, productive work for a form of fake “money” with so many strings attached. But of course that will not stop them, because they are megalomaniacal, slave-driving psychopaths.

Participant@WES –
I believe the instructor was a Warrant Officer and the DEI pilot was a Captain.
Chances are that the Warrant Officer had many more years of service and combat experience as well.
In such a situation, the Captain would not dare to “pull rank” on a Warrant Officer many years her senior.
But it has been more than 40 years since I served in the Army as a commissioned officer and who knows how screwed up things are now.Bam_Man
ParticipantRe: Possible gold re-valuation –
It is worth noting that the US Federal Reserve currently has a deeply negative net worth, if all its assets are ‘marked-to-market’. If in fact, there is the stated amount (or close to it) of gold in Ft. Knox and it does belongs to the Fed, re-valuing it would alleviate that condition.Bam_Man
ParticipantThe North Korean soldiers in Kursk must be EXTREME hard asses who are fighting to the death because I have yet to see any evidence of a single prisoner taken.

ParticipantUkraine is not a “nuclear power” and does not possess nuclear weapons of its own. Any nuclear weapons employed by Ukrain against Russian forces on Ukrainian/Donbass soil would have to be supplied by NATO. Use of NATO-supplied nuclear weapons against Russian forces remains a “red line” that NATO is very reluctant to cross – and for obvious reasons.

ParticipantRe: The Big Serge Krepost article
There is a not insignificant probability that the Russians are intentionally allowing as many Ukrainian/Foreign Mercenary troops and equipment into the salient as possible, and will then annihilate them by using tactical nuclear weapons on their own territory.
This would send quite an unmistakable message to any potential future invaders.

Participanta kullervo –
IIRC Mr. Begala was President Clinton’s Chief-of-Staff at the time (or shortly beforehand), so I’m pretty sure he meant elected officials in particular.

Participanta kullervo –
Eva V. is not an elected official or technically a politician, so IMHO Mr. Begala’s observation remains valid.
According to Wikipedia, she is “a Dutch far-right activist, known for propagating conspiracy theories and expressing anti-feminist sentiments”, so she must be doing something right. LOL…Bam_Man

ParticipantNvidia trades at 32 times sales and 52 times book value.
In the aftermath of the “dot-com” bubble, Scott McNealy, then CEO of Sun Microsystems asked “What were you thinking?” of investors who had paid 10 times sales for shares of the company.

Participant@John Day : Re – the Ruger 10/22
Yes! Hands down the best .22 LR out there. I have the carbine model with hardwood stock and the 15- and 25- round magazines. They all perform flawlessly. Of course I also have an AR-15 with a Holosun red dot sight, but I use the 10/22 to keep my marksmanship skills at a high level. Never underestimate the lethality of the .22 LR.

ParticipantRe: Firebombing of Dresden
The Red Army had advanced almost up to that point by February, 1945. German lines were collapsing. The firebombing of Dresden demonstrated to the Soviets (right in front of them) what an Allied 1,000+ plane bombing raid could do and it conveyed a message: “Proceed no further east than Berlin”.Bam_Man

ParticipantRe: Today’s Hopper –
NOT a bartender. It’s 1926 and there was this thing called “Prohibition” (which didn’t end until 1933).
Probably a shopkeeper. Perhaps even a Jewish one.Bam_Man

ParticipantThe CIA had a busy three weeks getting their Vietnam policy sorted out in November, 1963.
Presidents Ngo Dinh Diem and Kennedy were both assassinated less than three weeks apart.
Here is what Ho Chi Minh had to say upon learning of Diem’s assassination – “I can scarcely believe the Americans would be so stupid”.[

ParticipantThe RFK, Jr. speech in the Tweet above brought this excerpt to mind.
“At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it?– Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never!–All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.
At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.”
