    Things that annoy me

    Amateur hour for sure. I am happy with what they are discussing, but my God, how do you make that error. This is why I don't think public officials should be allowed to have outside communications utilizing their supposed secure phones. Accidents like this can easily happen when non secure...

    Things that annoy me

    I don't give investment advice to anyone but me, that said, it is never a good idea to chase the news when investing in stocks. I also don't personally think April 2nd is going to amount to much. Stock market rises and falls in anticipation of news, there is a whole lot of betting going on. I...

    Things that I really like

    Not everything is doom and gloom. I do like the fact that foreign aggression through proxy against the USA is being dealt with. I have always believed that you need to be decisive when dealing with terrorism. This is one area where I think we are doing a good job. TD

    Things that annoy me

    Don't disagree but unfortunately tariffs are non selective as to who pays. And I am one of the opinion that their effectiveness was lost when we gave up manufacturing in this Country. For now they are being used as short term bullets in thr trade war. They are not sustainable and I am hopeful...

    Good find! This one is just not easiest to get in a retail store, at least for me. TD

    Things that annoy me

    I give up. Do tell me how waging war has anything to do with the average rich guy who made money trading stocks and working for a living. Labor is not a target but paying a line job the equivalent of 500 plus dollars an hour is insane. That is why true manufacturing is dead in this county. But...

    Trophy Alamo on EBAY

    Confirmed it sold for $5000 on buy it now. I also did a search and saw that a Hand to Hand no box (Mtd vs standing) sold for $294. I would say the Alamo sets are more rare than others. Again, there were a number of bidders at high dollar values on this lot, so who knows. Tom

    Things that annoy me

    Paddy This is one of those "say it in public enough, people think its true". The "rich" do pay the proportionate and overwhelming share of the American Federal Income Tax Burden. If you look at the taxpayer studies put out by the independent Tax Foundation, people (individuals) in certain...

    Things that annoy me

    You know the worst part about these debates are people can't seem to separate facts from what they are force fed on a 24/7 daily news cycle. Once facts start getting thrown around, the "arena clears out". Funny how that really works. And I am not trying to say or be a know it all, but just...

    Things that annoy me

    I just have to ask one question. How is calling the Russians and the Ukranians to the carpet to end the conflict cozying up to the Russians? Let's be honest, without the US help, Ukraine will fall and would have by now. The Russians are not the mighty bear they once were and Ukraine have done...

    Things that I really like

    Things I really like - attending in person toy soldier shows with friends. I still find them to be exciting, large or small, it is always a wonder at the different items you see for sale. I appreciate a lot of different things, even if I don't collect it all. It is always a neat feeling to...

    The West Coast Toy Soldier Show - Who is attending the show?

    Whirlwind of a show, land Friday am, leave Sunday PM. Say hi to a lot of people in between and enjoyed the chats. Also got in an updated tour of one of the greatest toy soldier/militaria and all around collections in the world. No complaints, but tired. I only wish I lived closer! Also...

    Tariffs - The Elephant in the Room

    Here is a comment that both sides of this issue should read and read with extreme understanding. It is one thing to talk politics in a civil matter no matter what side you are on. However, there are several threads and several posts here that go beyond that. Humor aside, the keyboard does a...

    Tariffs - The Elephant in the Room

    Well said. There are a lot of reasons more than greed that caused manufacturing to leave America. One is labor unions. Here is the example of why Maryland no longer manufacturers GM Mini Vans and this is fully verifiable and true. The employee whose job it was to test the rear tailgate...

    Things that annoy me

    I am cynical of all government reporting both ways. Like job reports? They are complete and utter bs that are revised months later. I feel like all of these reports are. I do think where you are seeing results is (to your point) the slowdown of crossings. That is (to me) very key in this...

    Things that annoy me

    Doug do you really believe any of the numbers? I don't. I have found that every study is manipulated to whoever is doing it. Call me cynical, fine. I am still just trying to digest why we don't just follow the laws as written, which I believe this administration is trying to do, yet, they...
