Listening to my favorite Sunday show on AM radio, KTSM 690, Money Talk with Bob Brinker. It is a conservative financial show about investing and personal finance. It is not about trading or picking stocks.

Trading is speculative and is one step above outright gambling and should be treated as such. Only money you can absolutely afford to lose without any pain whatsoever should be used for trading or gambling.

In the US we have a thing called a 401K where you can take pretax dollars and invest. The money also grows tax free. You should invest as much as you can afford up to the max allowed.

Save enough in a money-market fund or a savings account to pay for a minimum of 3 months living expenses. As you can afford increase this to as much as 12 months. After that set aside a minimum of 10% of your earnings each month for retirement (401k or similar) and forget about it.

Don't acquire debt except for a mortgage and perhaps a vehicle. Avoid credit card debt at all costs.

Buy Term life insurance. It is cheap and will protect your loved one's in case you depart earlier than expected.

Sippin' on a 22 oz Stone IPA at Twin Peaks waiting for the wife to get off work. Later gonna smoke a stogie. A Nub. Had a bit of a vacation. Was off for 7 days. Back to the grind tomorrow.

Hopefully I've been a good boy for Father's Day.

Take care. Time to sign off.

Fortuitous I checked in today to see what was going on. The Rabbit Hole and it's queen rat got exterminated. That thread had been operating on the edge for quite a while spewing its soft bigotry. It was only a matter of time. What will Alex (more demos than a used car lot) do now? Later Jen!!!!!!

If you're unsure about "collusion delusion" read this. There is nothing credible written by the liberal left defending their position that Trump colluded with the Russians to influence the 2016 election. Nothing.....

In civilized society one is presumed innocent regardless of the severity of the accusation. A reassuring thought to any of us who might be falsely accused...yet the progressives and hard leftists seek to destroy even this basic aspect of American culture. Instead if you're a man and accused of a sexual crime you are guilty and deserve no due process. Just shut up! as one infamous senator from Hawaii demands.

America is under attack. Although threats exist from foreign enemies the biggest threat actually lies from within our own borders. More distressing is that this threat emanates directly from the very mechanisms of American government. Despite the best attempts of our founders to "head-off" such threats, these threats continue.

Most recently is the unsubstantiated allegations against the current Supreme Court justice nominee, Brett Kavanaugh. Here the very core of American jurisprudence is being challenged by congressional Senate progressives in the Senate Judiciary Hearings. This founding core of our constitution is the rock-solid premise that the accused is innocent until proven guilty. Yet there is an undisguised attempt to convict Kavanaugh based on the severity of the accusation. It is being put forth by progressives/liberals that the accuser is to be believed because of the severity of the accusation. SHE, the accuser, is to be believed no matter what. The prospective judge is to be condemned because he is a male, white and wealthy and because of this he deserves no due process.

Let not us forget the accusations against the Duke LaCrosse team that were shown to be completely false.
Let not us forget the false rape accusations publicized in the Rolling Stones.

Yes accusations can be false. And this is why the American Justice System is the best in the world.

The prosecutor hired by the Republicans in the senate judiciary committee exposes inconsistencies in Ford's testimonies. In addition to these inconsistencies the prosecutor states no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute based on the paucity of evidence and that this case has less merit than a "she says he says" situation. The assumption of innocence begins to reveal it's value and why a civil society bases it's civility in such a principle.

Kavanaugh sworn in. As it should be!
