Anti-McCarthy Republicans got 'direct threats' from major GOP donor before switching In fact, one source shared a screenshot of a message Peterffy sent to one member that read, "What goes on in the House is weakening the party, unless you vote for Kevin now we'll never give you any money." https://www.rawstory.com/republican-donors/

Whatever happens to Biden, it has no effect on Trump's case. None.

I would revise my outlook for the USD. I think inflation may have peaked and the Fed will slow the rate of interest rate rises. meantime, the US is likely to suffer a downturn in GDP while Asia and Europe will improve. That would be bearish for the US dollar. China is expected to increase its GDP by 6% this year so that would make AUD attractive. Commodity prices are also picking up, especially industrial metals. YEN has nowhere to go but up as well, having tanked last year, probably back to 110 which is where it normally sits. source: Bloomberg cable TV.

why?

He won't because he doesn't plan to keep them.

They already did sell. Hence the massive drop to date. That said, many investment funds are required by their constitution to invest in stocks. They just try to pick the right stocks. A better solution would be to sell and buy bonds but many don't have that option. Then there are those investors who listen to buy and hold BS. An earlier point about dividend yielding stocks may be an exception. Last quarter of 2020 was the time to sell when everybody was screaming "inflation".

Thanks!

Yes, I get that. I'm wondering if I'm wasting money on a multi entry exit permit before the current one expires if I only take one trip before it expires. If I bought a multi entry now, would it apply to the newly extended visa or would I need to get a new exit permit for trips after the renewal?

Goldman Sachs is also laying off 3,200 workers from it's consumer brokerage business. Stocks be going down.

I guess he means in Scranton.

My non O visa expires in May. I'm planning a trip to Hong Kong in March. If I get a multi entry exit permit beforehand will it also apply to a visa extension in May or should I buy a single entry exit permit for that trip and a multi entry at the time of extension?

If anyone's wondering, bitcoin tends to follow the S&P. If Morgan Stanley is right, expect the US dollar to get stronger too. Cash is king in a recession.

There are frame aligning machines. I don't know if they have them here but I expect they would.

Ozzie, that's why I objected. We don't like to be upstaged by the poms when it comes to yobbos. ????

They could. If the money supply increased markedly or interest rates decreased. Or consumer confidence and consumption increased significantly. Or if corporate revenue increased significantly. Right now, most tech giants are shedding workers which indicates they expect declines in demand. Fewer workers also means a decline in consumption and consumer confidence.

It would be very fair if they got a complaint about missing records from the National Archives.

"denied wrongdoing through an attorney". Code for paid off a judge. A Romanian court is due to rule on Tuesday on a challenge filed by Andrew Tate, an internet personality notorious for hate speech, against his 30-day arrest for alleged human trafficking and formation of an organised crime group to exploit six women. Tate, his brother Tristan and two Romanian female suspects were detained by Romanian anti-organised crime prosecutors on Dec. 29 pending a criminal investigation. They have denied wrongdoing through an attorney and have challenged the arrest warrant. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/romanian-court-rule-ex-kickboxer-tates-challenge-detention-2023-01-10/

Already proven.

‘No amnesty!’: Brazilian protests demand jail for rioters Protesters’ push for accountability evokes memories of an amnesty law that for decades has protected military members accused of abuse and murder during the country’s 1964-85 dictatorship. A 2014 truth commission report sparked debate over how Brazil has grappled with the regime’s legacy. Declining to mete out punishment “can avoid tensions at the moment, but perpetuates instability,” Luis Felipe Miguel, a professor of political science at the University of Brasilia, wrote in a column entitled “No Amnesty” published Monday evening. https://apnews.com/article/jair-bolsonaro-politics-brazil-government-democracy-b62784248fee194c650df5c1da0fd120?utm_source=homepage&utm_medium=TopNews&utm_campaign=position_02

Dome? I thought the atmosphere above the Earth was a rectangle or square, just like the Earth. How deep is the earth anyway?

Geologists are scientists, right? Rhetorical question?

It appears that we "ain't seen nuthin' yet". Previously they left out the big cities for fear of upsetting the wealthy. Now maybe they are getting desperate. Russians will be flocking to Thailand in much larger numbers I suspect. Ukrainian intelligence officials are warning that the Kremlin plans a new mobilization wave for up to 500,000 men to fight in Ukraine starting in mid-January. The new conscription drive, which would be larger than last autumn’s Russian draft of 300,000, would include a push in big cities, including some strategic industrial centers in Russia, Andriy Cherniak, an official with the Main Military Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, told POLITICO on Saturday. https://www.politico.eu/article/russia-mobilize-new-conscript-military-intelligence-war-ukraine/

aww shucks. Apparently discussing tawdry details of one's life isn't acceptable. The use of emotive and abusive language is typical for this creep.

No, contrary to far right belief the liberal media, aka MSM do report the news. They may be biased but they don't typically willfully misrepresent the facts.
