Not exactly. I'll try to gather them up for you and get them to you. We have one of our mods here that is putting together the schedules.

IMHO, Trump’s tariffs are hurting some and helping others. Typical. Overall, needs more time for tariffs to work through the system. Setting the final tariffs (basically the high end for most anyway) should be a big help for business. Now, they can plan. They just need lower borrowing rates until they can get their supply chains worked out where everything isn’t passed to the consumer. I’d say—from my perspective as an economic data watcher & investor—the economy is ‘okay’, but could really take off with a benchmark rate of around 3.5. I picked up some select buys for the long term this last business week. NLR is a nuclear ETF that also includes Constellation. Wanted to buy earlier, but didn’t pull the trigger as I got busy doing other things. But, I expect it to be a solid growth/divvie option. It’s gone up over $33 in 3 months with a lot of room to run. I wouldn’t be buying if I didn’t feel decent for long term. I’m a retired investor. Not a trader. Mainly a dividend investor at this stage with some select emphasis on growth. I buy solid companies at a decent price & hold them. To me, if they’re good enough to buy, they’re good enough to hold. I do the same with my REIT’s and ETF’s.

Thanks for agreeing?

Right now, we need to circulate a little more cash. Benchmark 30 year notes are running at ~4.85%, and have hit 5% in the last 2 weeks. Not good news. The job market is slowing. Inflation is running about 2.8% with the benchmark a full 200 basis points higher. Too big a gap. I’m afraid the Fed is a little behind the 8 ball. Employers need lower rates to be able to offset some tariff costs while refinancing debt, and still be able to keep/hire. IMHO, the Fed should lower rates by 50 basis points in September. The gap between inflation and benchmark needs to come down.

House Rules of Procedure: Rule 5, Chapter A, Section 3 (Starts on Page 89) [Hidden Content] Sorry. Took some investigative digging. I still don’t really see a penalty for non-payment other than forfeiture of funds and payment of other fees before receiving any new funding/pay—which is nowhere near the fine amount that could be accrued.

Well it was an almost. Tied it 4-4 in 8th and left bases loaded King gives up homer in ninth and lose 5-4. Framber wasn't Framber today. Raleigh of Mariners 43 rd HR last night

This is what all of Europe should look like!

I think they’re working towards that. Issue is, their key states (Illinois, California, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Wisconsin, and even Nevada) are already gerrymandered to the Democratic side so much, they can’t get many more—if any—seats out of them. From data I’ve read, Dems seem to gerrymander ‘bigger’, and Reps gerrymander more states but “smaller”—if that makes sense. Ought to be illegal for both. But, I don’t see any way to stop it. Incumbents will want to keep their seats. Just like the reason for no term limits. It does make a joke of representative democracy. But, we really haven’t had that in a very long time anyway. One way might be for a viable minor Party to really make inroads because of public dissatisfaction with the two major Parties. Harder to gerrymander for three. But, that’s a real long shot.

That's the problem for the Dems. They already have. There's not much for them to do. For example: Massachusetts has "zero" Republican Reps. Although Trump got 36% of the vote in Massachusetts. They can't do anymore. Now, the others may be able to do a little. But the Red States have more of an upside because we are learning to play the game. In the end, it's not going to look good for the Dems. Taking away the illegals being counted in the census is gonna be the real killer!

Do you have a list of area Thursday games?? I want to make sure the app is updated if I can

Outstanding!

The Democrats should just redistrict in Democratic states to add more seats.

Tremendous rivalry, I was lucky to get to coach in one and we gave it away by shotgun snapping from the goalline/ fumble and missed field goal. I am old school, when you are at the one, quarterback sneak!!!!

Hey Navydawg31, I retired after 38 years of coaching. I am now living back in central Texas and am part of the TASO Waco chapter and I will drive to Southeast Texas to ref youth league at $100 a pop as long as I can get 3 games, seriously. Give my email to the people you know. I copy all my college games and watch commercial free. Seriously if they need help [email protected] yes we are short of officials here to.

First time all season that Framber has gone thru 4 innings without getting a K.

Looking good!

And as Baddog has stated, back to economy.

And again, you can’t admit when you say something false. I posted the rules in black-and-white.🤷🏻‍♂️

I wish everyone would stop thinking about the economy as lowering prices. An economy is simply the circulation of cash. Lots of things contribute to that circulation. New businesses which in turn create new jobs, foreign investments, lowering interest rates so that there is an affordable housing market….etc. I think Trump is doing a fine job. He can’t snap his fingers and lower prices. My wife just fot back from grocery shopping and spent $300+. Thank you Joe Biden.

He’ll settle down. He’s not used to being 1 run ahead in the 1st inning. Lol

Not a good start for Framber

Back to the economy……

Back to the economy……

Repeat

Peńa!!!!
