She would be an excellent pick! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy_Coney_Barrett

Well, that is good news about Dougherty, he is a pretty swell guy. But Lonegan's loss is a let down, the GOP of NJ has just guaranteed another 4 years of Corswine leadership, even if Christie wins. He is the just another cog in the machine grinding away at our state. A Lawyer, appointed by Bush...

yep, just saw that. too bad, those he mentioned, except for one, are OK. but all rolled together have not done a fraction of what RP has done,

Angel was great on GB, but how do you represent the CFL, talk about the mission and not utter the name Ron Paul? I got the distinct impression that the fact that CFL grew out of the RP campaign was considered to be a dirty secret. Why? And tonite GB has on Barry Goldwater Jr; he asks him who...

Has the kool-aid finally gone sour? not in my experience, BHO supporters I know are still in the 'give him a chance to get things done' stage,

I am with you on this, go all the way or go home. The biggest blunder that I personally witnessed was not having an aerial view of the November rally in Philadelphia. The media reports a few hundred people were there, when there were many thousand. It was at a time when the movement was...

Under current rules, the IMF needs approval of the US Congress to sell any gold. As far as I know this approval has not been granted, so I don't think they have sold any yet, at least not in the light of day. The IMF threatens to sell large hoards of gold every year, and every year they sell...

I wish he was more solutions-oriented sometimes, even though there are no easy answers, and no way to avoid some pain. How about, Bring ALL of our men and women in uniform home tomorrow use that savings to refund every cent of income tax for the last X years, it may not be easily done, but is...

I was literally holding my breath at 9:11PM I was not sure if the show was live or on taped delay. cities would be in flames within an hour.

QFT and well put. Decisions born out of FEAR are usually poor decisions, this will be a monumentally poor decision.

Being in a very restrictive retirement plan myself, I can understand the predicament. If a stable value fund is available, I would put 30-50% in there, you will not break even with inflation but principle will be as safe as possible. And IMO the loss in purchasing power will be worth preserving...

A simple response Allegory of course, but to illustrate a point you could reply with: Fanny & Freddie guarantee about $5,000,000,000 in mortgages, There are about 300 million US Citizens, at least half of those citizens are underage or unemployed/destitute $5,000,000,000 divided by...

Get storable food and do it asap; rice, beans, lentils, canned goods, canned meat (I never ate spam and think it's gross, but I have 20 cans in the basement). Get some water in your home for short-term emergencies. Or a good filter like a Berkey. Variable rate debt needs to be paid down as...

if it is a low fixed and long term rate, AND more importantly, you can service the debt for as long as you have to, this is a reasonable strategy. Dollars will not become worthless overnite. Remember, when you get most of your income from a job, you do not see the benefit of inflating debt...

not the world, just the world as we know it. get comfortable with that notion, it will make the transition less traumatic if you are mentally prepared. Remember the George Carlin bit where he talks about tree huggers wanting to "save the earth" Well, "The earth is not going anywhere, WE are!"
