Times have changed. When I was young we used to go to Action Park, Vernon, NJ. Kids used to get hurt there all the time. Some died. (I got hurt there, too).

They called it the “World’s Most Dangerous Amusement Park”. There was a movie about it.

Here’s the Youtube Trailer…

Former President Donald Trump says he’s establishing an Office of the Former President in Florida.

Experts say the move isn’t unusual for ex-presidents but could become problematic.

Former President Donald Trump announced the creation of the Office of the Former President in Florida, his first public move since leaving the White House last week.…[Read more]

Around 2008 during the financial crisis, Ben Bernanke (or maybe it was Hank Paulson) said that we needed Quantitative Easing to prevent a sudden collapse of the econonmy. Rather than a sudden collapse, he said the American people will feel “a slow burn.” I think that is what the majority of Americans have been feeling since then — “a slow burn.”…[Read more]

Best advice: “Buy on bad news. Sell on good news.”

The young, inexperienced main streeters buy on good news and sell on bad news.

I read today Rand Paul forced a vote declaring the Senate Impeachment Hearing unconstitutional.

45 Republicans voted “Yes” — that it was unconstitutional. That sounds like Trump will be acquited. The five Republican senators who broke with their party were Romney, Murkowski, Collins, Sasse and Toomey.

I like Jamaal Bowman’s comment.

I read something last week that the FAANG stocks had a great year in 2020.

If I’m not mistaken, those FAANG stocks are Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google.

Civil Liberties

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard was recognized as a champion for protecting a free and open internet and civil liberties, earning an A rating from Restore The Fourth and Fight for the Future.

The release of their scorecard for the 115th Congress recognized the congresswoman’s strong record of opposing mass surveillance and the warrantless c…[Read more]

Democrats, for now, are comfortable with the government spying on Americans as long as they’re spying on Republicans. Republicans are okay with spying on anyone from “the radical left”. Adam Schiff’s Bill provides a way for the federal government to go after people whose politics they don’t like.

From the NY Times — December 22, 1…[Read more]

That sounds like their plan wasn’t realistic.

I watched the interview on Sunday morning and thought George Stephnopoulos did a good job pressing Rand Paul on his wild claims about the election results. However, Rand Paul did get in enough talking points so that websites like WND can spin it in Rand Paul’s favor.

WND:

Fireworks! Watch Rand Paul crush Stephanopoulos on ‘stolen’…[Read more]

I sometimes watch the show “American Greed”. There are some Wall Streeters who seem so smart — brilliant even. But then they run some cockamamie ponzi scheme and live the good life. They buy 20 cars, a yacht, a private jet and a mansion. They do it with other people’s money and pay their bills by bringing in new so-called “investors”. As I watch…[Read more]

Money raised through income tax is used to pay for the programs, benefits, and services provided by the U.S. government for the benefit of the people. Essential services such as national defense, food safety inspections, and federal benefit programs including Social Security and Medicare could not exist without the money raised by the federal…[Read more]

but I couldn’t remember who it was, but I remember it was a long time ago.

I see now, it was Andrew Johnson. I thought it was a very good trivia question.

Most countries already give their Coast Guard that authority.

In fact, I don’t think he expected to win the first time.

I truly believe Trump was planning on running as an Independent in 2016. He expected Jeb or Cruz would get the nomination, and he would be the third party candidate throwing mud at the two major party candidates. But, surprisingly, he won the first primary. Then the second. After that,…[Read more]

Yet, his loyal supporters think he belongs on Mount Rushmore.
