Only one reason for this ... https://www.afp.com/en/news/205/us-treasury-rekindles-interest-rare-century-bond As the article says "to lock in the current very low interest rates." Now ask yourself why that is necessary? Because under tRump inflation is going to explode!** And with in interest rates will too. Call your financial advisor and discuss an inflation defense strategy with them when they open for business on Monday. You have been warned. **It will happen when he spends like a drunken sailor and sticks to Norquist and refuses to pay for it. |

Mark your jihad against agnostics I find to be unacceptable. You have drawn the line and I shall cross it, consider your statements! I think the quote was: And if all that is left in the USA in four years are angry white christians, I am quite fine with that How, after 4 years, will the USA end up with nothing but angry white christians? What will become of the descendants of pre-Columbian peoples? What of the non-christians (which includes agnostics)? And why are you fine with such a reduction of diversity? I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ... |

I believe, other than the muslim faith, that most of us are invoking the same deity. Islam is an Abrahamic religion as are Christianity and Judaism... Abraham, Moses, Mary and Jesus all appear in the Quran (Mary is the only woman named in it.) Moses and Jesus are also revered as major prophets (there also are a bunch of minor ones.) So, same deity. Unless it's that other singular omnipotent omnipresent eternal all-creator. :^D (Edit: also "Allah" is simply Arabic for "the god"... it is not a name per se.) |

Mark your jihad against agnostics I find to be unacceptable. You have drawn the line and I shall cross it, consider your statements! I said 'if'............... I did not say anything about trying to actively advocate anything. You cannot argue that AWCs were not the driving force in this election or it's outcome. We were. And our voice finally won one against all of the special interest groups. I have absolutely no axe to grind with anybody of any faith who practices their religion of choice in a peaceful manner. It is only those who either try to force their religion upon others or who resort to violence to advance their cause that I have a problem with. I can state my views about my own faith without trying to force it down anybody's throat. That is called freedom of speech. You are free to read or delete or block my posts at will. You are also free to respond to them with whatever rhetoric you may so choose to employ. 'IF' the religious makeup of this country shifts one way or another, that would be because the population has had it's faith changed by something they believe in. And all I said was that I would be OK with that. I could totally accept this becoming a nation of peaceful Muslims, if it came to that. I would not convert, but I could accept that. It is only the radical Muslims who would force by terror their religion upon others that I have an issue with. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

It did occur though. Rightly or wrongly, it was all about subversion to the "American way of life & the US Constitution". Ah yes that most "sacred" document of all documents, so that incident in Florida was just a blip on the radar screen :-) |

Except perhaps the ones rioting and burning and looting and burning things belonging to others to further their cause. Something like the radical Muslims I referred to.

Something like the radical Muslims I referred to. Federal employees are only concerned with their paycheck, not on what they were voted into office for. That has always been true, and is unlikely to be corrected during my lifetime. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

"U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is the largest federal law enforcement agency of the United States Department of Homeland Security. It is charged with regulating and facilitating international trade, collecting import duties, and enforcing U.S. regulations, including trade, customs, and immigration. CBP is the largest law enforcement agency in the United States. It has a workforce of more than 45,600 sworn federal agents and officers. It has its headquarters in Washington, D.C." Wow so every one of those federal employees has to be voted in? |

Have you seen how few of Trump's appointees have been filled so far. Tracking how many key positions Trump has filled so far Of 549 key positions requiring Senate confirmation … Thinks he needs to start working, not shout his mouth off and tweeting. And that's not the end of it. It’s not just the Cabinet: Trump’s transition team may need to find about 4,100 appointees |

Just like all Abrahamists that call for Exodus 22:20. They are all agents of Satan. May they burn in their own hell of hate. |

And if all that is left in the USA in four years are angry white christians, I am quite fine with that, because I am one, and we voted him into office to do our bidding. |

I have no longer any fear or hate. I left those things behind many years ago, I have now only hopes and chances ahead for life and liberty to go forward,. You are all invited to either join me in that hope, or mock it. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |
