Both "progressive" CA and "regressive" TX are at the very end.

Good catch. And WY is kicking high school ass. lol.

I'm sure I'll get called racist, but do any of the top 11 even crack 15-20% minority population (hispanic/black)? I think Honk has a valid point on this topic. And how in the flying fuck does an entire state not graduate 20% of their k-12 students? That's fucking embarrassing.

My assets herewith but not broken down to types of stock funds.

85% + stocks; principally mutual funds of several types.

Some in balanced funds; Vanguard Wellington, Vanguard Wellesley Income .

5% High Yield Corporate fund, 5% High Yield Muni bond fund.

11% Individual stocks: the % of this is growing because I bought some shares of AAPL (Apple) and this went up a bunch.

1. AAPL (Apple) ; a bunch
2. WFC (Wells Fargo) ; some
3. MSFT (Microsoft) ;some
4. DE (John Deere) ; a little bit
5. BABA (Alibaba) ; a little bit

The registration (type of account) of the mutual funds varies;

1. Roth IRA
2. SEP-IRA
3. Traditional IRA
4. Vanguard Variable Annuity
5. HSA at Fidelity; Health Savings Account; this is invested in mutual funds and will be spent like a traditional IRA
6. Taxable, "regular accounts" including Vanguard Tax Managed Capital Appreciation and others less tax efficient.

The coolest is the HSA because this is deductible before everything else; it reduces your Obamacare premium pay back liability. I wish I did this earlier.

Sounds like wise advice.
I’d put the 5% collectibles into fine art. That always appreciates.

How about cds at 2.5%,stock market is high pe. Waiting for 20% correction

What r good div stocks currently?

Why muni, pays 1to 2% barely?
Why annuity vs cds?

Hawaii, majority Asian and mixed; Alaska, White ca 65%, American Indian/Aleut 20%. Interestingly, AK is solid R.

Hawaii passes a lot of kids they shouldn't. Sure there are Japanese but there are also lazy, grumpy Native Hawaiians who don't appreciate that if it wasn't for the US taking them over, the Imperial Japanese would have exterminated them.

Collectables or collectibles?

Is "fine art" liquid? Gold coins?

Regarding fine art "always appreciates". Consider BID...
A good indicator of excess liquidity.
Doesn't always appreciate.

"The Last Time There Was This Much CO2, Trees Grew at the South Pole"

Then why aren't trees growing at the South Pole now? Talk about deluded.

How do you know there is a South Pole?

How do I know? Because I have been there. No trees either, I had to trek 1,000 miles for my dog to take a piss.

How do you make the CD's expire at the right time?

Layoffs are now done on a quarterly basis. This is the same company that took away people vested defined benefit pensions, and did some serious salary range reductions last year.

Ask Kurt Russell, here's what's down in the South Pole ...

This couldn't be Florida. Florida women are known for removing their sanitary pads with a crowbar.

Is he even voting age? Love the camo and maga hat..

First of all, it was not the "red neck" vote that got Trump elected. The cartoon "red neck vote" concept is just the left wing's way to disparage people who voted for Trump. Hence the appeal of someone creating the phony "red neck" to spout left wing talking points such as the "Make America White Again" parody of MAGA and "afraid of losing power" and "afraid of becoming minorities."

Next time you want to imitate a rural white, try using the correct style of camos, use a US Flag instead of a State flag, and do not put the hat on backwards. The maker of this video likely thought the Mississippi state flag would add to the "red neck" effect since it contains a Confederate battle flag. Wrong accent for Mississippi.

That was from last year.

That’s like 95% of everything he posts here!
I swear it’s like reading some chain email my dad forwarded. Absolutely zero sense of perspective coupled with a naivety that would be cute on a five year old, but on a 70 year old is just pathetic.

If we do not get a major crash before Nov 2020, Trump will be re-elected. A few special interest losses do not matter.

As of today AT&T now has gay emoji's in it's internal instant messenger.
HONK HONK!!!

Or a war.

Oh look liberals put up a fake Trump supporter. Just another dog and pony show to try to fool people. Yawn...

Trump is losing supporters the same way CVS is closing stores. hahahah

I see more Trump 2020 in your future

Some of you bitches are absolutely immune to reality. That shows that reality, when it bites, will be a tougher pill for you to take.

You mean this reality?
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president_trump_job_approval-6179.html

Trump averages is in the mid 40s, which means he's in the high 40s. Mid 40s is enough for re-election.

Congress, however, is in the low 20s.

Generation Zyklon will vote primarily Trump. Millenials (not all but many) were the culmination of the education abomination, caused by the baby boomers guilt issues for financially raping the system. At this point only Gabbard could beat Trump in 2020.

At this point only Gabbard could beat Trump in 2020.

Gabbard, et al, are just vying for Vice President for when Creepy Joe wins the primary. Joe will likely pick one of the women.

MAGA_BOMBER says

Epolls are not reality. This other asshole posted his epoll from Zogsby and called it "FACTS" when Zogsby is the worst @CovfefeButDeadly.

Oops, RCP is a poll of polls. And Zogby isn't included in their Poll-of-Polls.

lol even more absurd if you consider Trump's strong support for Israel and the Jewish.

MAGA_BOMBER says

It's not bizarre at all that Trump reesatablished his finances back from disaster from Deutsche Bank, the principal business of the Rothschilds who ARE THE GLOBALISTS/ZIONISTS you all claim to hate so much.

Hi Jazz. That, or the Left is really engaging in a new "Anti-Cosmopolitan" campaign which is ironic because they themselves are Parochial, Provincial Cosmopolitans.

The Globalists include Citigroup who picked Obama's Cabinet, as well as Facebook, Apple, and especially Google.

They have always made international finances contingent on backing Israel's regime. Plus they own a part of every bank on the planet. Who do you think the globalist is anyway? Hillary Clinton? We can trace her wealth.

Yeah, Deutschebank, RBS, Mitsubishi Financial, and Hillary's favorite speaking fee payers, Itau Bank. All run out of Tel Aviv, those JEWS!

Nobody questions the frontal assault on the constitution, just change the subject to Hitler. Who has risen much more in resemblance to Mussolini.

Never claimed I hated zionists, and even globalism/internationalism is good up to a certain point, we have just gone way overboard. Also most people are aware that Trump is not a golden ticket and works with many establishment globalists. But compared to the past 2-3 presidents/administrations Trump is a yuge improvement in putting America first again. Every wealthy person is to some extent globalist when it comes to their money. The comparison to Mussolini is only a tad better. If you take violations of executive power Trump pales compared to Obummer and Boosh. You know this, you just don't like the guy. Don't let it cloud your judgement.

In his journal, Sebastian Haffner decries what he calls the “sheepish submissiveness” with which the German people reacted to a 9/11-like event, the burning of the German Parliament (Reichstag) on Feb. 27, 1933.

Missing is the context of endless Far Right-Far Left violence, including a Communist Coup of Bavaria as well as a Beer Hall Putsch. The Germans had had it and wanted normalcy, which they believed would come from the Center-Right Government under von Papen who was a Monarchist, in the 1932 Elections.

The real worrying thing is the Left's embrace of Censorship, Anti-Free Speech attitudes, and Intolerance. A Black Law Professor, Ronald Sullivan, was just kicked out of Harvard's Winthrop House because the students didn't like his membership of Weinstein's Legal Team. Weinstein is an unperson because of #MeToo, therefore, in the Modern Left's eyes, doesn't merit a legal defense, is guilty before the trial, and anybody counseling him is a Social Justice Traitor.

As far as the "Climate Change" thing goes, all the rich people who matter knew it was happening as far back as the 1980s, they had it studied by the best scientists and then they made their oil, gold and diamonds investments in tundra land that was then and for all time as we know it permanently frozen land.

There’s so much wrong with this statement I’m going to label it 100% false. It doesn’t even make sense!

“TURNKEY TYRANNY.”

Remember: if a few thousands Russian trolls can tip the elections with Faceboook, what can our establishment do with our propaganda apparatus IN THE US?

No one needs a tyranny if you're like a sheep in a field: free to walk left or right, and munch on this bitter vetch or that one.
