Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in awhile , and his buddy Jonny M isn’t long for the world anymore so Lindsay is choosing to momentarily leave the dark side

Wow I had not heard that version before thanks very much! I had heard that the Shah was corrupt but compared to the mullahs a saint.
We can only hope that the current protests will morph into something that gets rid of the terror loving mullahs.

[rodguy911]

Hard to figure what FNC wants any more.

What would we be dealing with now if Gore had “won”?

We'd be in a world of hurt. We just passed the 17 year anniversary of the SC Florida ballot decision...Dec. 18, iirc. Do you remember those 6 weeks ? Wow...that was intense !

[patriotspride]

Gadaffi, Shah, guys we could at least somewhat control. Common factor, dems know better and remove them.. result chaos....

The Iranian Green Movement (Persian: جنبش سبز ایران‎), also known as the Persian Awakening by the western media,[1] refers to a political movement that arose after the 2009 Iranian presidential election, in which protesters demanded the removal of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad from office. Green was initially used as the symbol of Mir Hossein Mousavi's campaign, but after the election it became the symbol of unity and hope for those asking for annulment of what they regarded as a fraudulent election. Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi are recognized as political leaders of the Green Movement.[2] Hossein-Ali Montazeri was also mentioned as spiritual leader of the movement.[3] The Green Movement protests were a major event in Iran's modern political history and observers claimed that protests were the largest since the Iranian Revolution of 1978–79.[4][5][6] from wiki.

I’m with you. I finally get a chance to go fishing this week and we get 15-20 for most of the week, oh well I’m waaaay behind in building anyway.
Happy New Year bud.

Imagine if the Iranian govt was overthrown with Trump.

Could happen, he's already taken the Trump wrecking ball to the Sowdies. I wonder what's the inside scoop oh that whole deal...and the latest.

I can remember refreshing Drudge, FR continuously to see if the razor thin margin would help. Can remember telling our son to recruit his college friends in Fla to vote Bush and share a free wing/ beer night on me. He delivered 10 votes. 😀😀😀😀

[rodguy911]

Exactly the more you see both of them them the more they appear to be deep staters.

[chiller]

Collusion ! LOL

[DanZ]

You seem uninformed about what really drives the markets. The markets move either up or down on corporate earnings. End of statement!

my oh my! - 23+ P/E are earnings? I have a bridge I would gladly sell you for some GOLD which appears to be moving up over a long term trend line

Trying to look in the past to determine what will happen in the future is just about the most ignorant way anyone could ever find to choose a plan of investment.

So 2000, 2007 and other market downtrends were very ignorant then, were they? Any way one should always look at many opinions when investing your own money

[rodguy911]

True but we need better candidates everywhere whether it be at the lowest local levels or at the highest offices in the country.It all matters.
...............
The entire abc panel agreeing that Trump won’t build a wall,just more pap with loser dems.
NBC today brought up one interesting suggestion that the rock Dwayne Johnson might run for potus.
I tried to look up his politics and all I could find is him running as an independent.
I can’t imagine him as a lib but you never know.
Meanwhile F.Chuck discovering that the dems won’t win the Senate but they are all but sure they will take over the house,just never ends.

[rodguy911]

The rino contingent is alive and well how many are deep staters in hiding is up for discussion as well.

[rodguy911]

Lindsey Graham is the good Lindsay today. "I support the President....I called him every name in the book...I ran out of adjectives....he beat me like a drum....I want to help him." LOL

Linda recently played golf with the President, I think he was the Donald's caddy. He watched him hit a 73 in bad conditions,Linda is barely qualified to be his caddy.

[Alas Babylon!]

The biggest problem I have with Dwayne Johnson is his voice.

Close your eyes and listen. He sounds just like Barrack Obama!

No thanks!

What you say has absolutely nothing to do with anything concerning the future of the Dow average the S&P average the NASDAQ average or any composite averages including commodities Etc.

I repeat, the stock market is 100% driven by earnings and earnings are 100% driven by consumers spending their money and buying stuff. Anything and I mean anything that interferes or causes consumers to spend less will cause the market to drop. Anything that causes consumers to increase their spending and buy more stuff will cause averages to go up by virtue of the corporations involved in these averages selling more of their stuff.

And because there is no possible way for anyone to look down the road and see how consumers will feel and how much they will spend any kind of an attempt to look at past averages and Cycles is completely 100% bogus. You might as well throw darts at a dartboard.

[rodguy911]

for sure.

I remember in basic training and technical school in 1976 we had a huge contingent of Iranian Air Force student/trainees.

They also had a strong redneck attitude about them. One set off the fire alarms in their barracks when he tried to burn the feathers off a chicken he bought from some farmer. I’ll never forget the Keesler AFB fireman coming outside holding a dead smoking chicken but its foot. We all laughed as the “all-clear” was given.

[rodguy911]

Sadly that was 40% of the allure of ozero. He did have an excellent radio voice as does Johnson. a clam talking clean black man accd. to slo Joe.I hope Johnson is no zero.
