    What a load of crap. Winston Churchill was one of the greatest leaders in history, as ever was and as ever will be. What a disgrace by the Bank of England. Tom

    Things that annoy me

    I don't want a prolonged war either. That said, if it takes a month of outright destruction on our part to eliminate the future thread and kill everyone in that regime, I can stomach that. Interestingly enough, my energy projects are like gangbusters, more work than time here in the US. Tom

    US/Israel Launches Op Epic Fury Against Iran

    Beats me on that other than I think and I mean I think it is talking about the Treasury Balance Sheet and reserves and the oil we produce that is actually sold. If we sell a barrel at market, then the Treasury Balance sheet grows. One thing about portfolios right now and most investors have...

    The West Coaster Toy Soldier Show March 8 , 2026

    From what I understand, tank was not sold at the show, was removed from show and was put on website. Lasted an hour, then sold. That is what I was told. I would venture if you put a Kelly's Heroes Tank new in the box and were patient, I would bet you would get a large sum on ebay. Tom

    The West Coaster Toy Soldier Show March 8 , 2026

    Kelly's Heroes Tigers sell legit for $1000 without trying. I think Matt just sold one on his site for over a grand. Ebay I think the last one sold was higher than that. Certain items will always bring money. It also depends on who is selling and the time horizon they have. What is not...

    They are but honestly they usually become economic booms for spending. Interesting how that works. TD

    US/Israel Launches Op Epic Fury Against Iran

    I think it is pretty conclusive the Iranians were planning assassinations of Trump. There are a number of bad guys in the world so to speak, but I think Iran may well be the worst of the worst right now. Tom

    That is government at its best, there is a fee for everything, in Maryland, we have a flush tax as well as a rain tax at one time. Tom

    US/Israel Launches Op Epic Fury Against Iran

    regardless of stance on Kelly I don’t have much sympathy for drug runners, you know the game you are playing. I am not going to lose sleep over that. Take the risk for gold, take the risk of death that comes with it. IMO there are plenty of other avenues as well as issues to put that kind of...

    US/Israel Launches Op Epic Fury Against Iran

    Mike Part of that rubbed me the wrong way and I had that discussion with my cousin who is a retired full bore Air Force Colonel (decorated in both Gulf Wars), ie no desk jockey. Regardless of his personal conviction, to me, it came off as a political stunt and to give my cousin's opinion - an...

    US/Israel Launches Op Epic Fury Against Iran

    on Mark Kelly, I had a lot more respect for him previously than I do now. Like most politicians, he has taken some cheap shots for his own press that are just not productive. As a decorated military officer, I do expect more maturity from him and to put himself above the fray. That is what I...

    Things that annoy me

    Ok, back to an annoyance of mine - the absolute ineptitude of our Congressional bodies. DHS Funding - WTF, why is TSA being hung out to dry by politicians? Just stupid. Also Border Patrol - my goodness, haven't they not done a great job in the last couple of years? Like Zero illegal...

    US/Israel Launches Op Epic Fury Against Iran

    I think I found a positive - apparently Israeli intelligence is reporting the new "leader" is injured but unknown how critical, but Iran has only been showing his photo. I am almost wondering aloud if he is either dead or in bad shape. Not to sound cold, but that would be a good thing, that...

    US/Israel Launches Op Epic Fury Against Iran

    I don't know, think you have to let some of this shake out. We did take out another part of their Navy that appears to be a positive. I am the first to say no boots on the ground, that would be a losing proposition no matter how you play it. I am more wait and see here as you can't fight a...

    Larry Simons...March Through Times

    I liked Larry a lot, always, I saw him mainly at the WC and would buy various items. One in particular, I got a mounted Cortez from him from Medallion Miniatures St. Petersburg, it was quite a find! Good guy and sorry to hear. Tom

    This trip I actually tried the Spicy Chicken - not bad! I do like the #2. Do you know healthwise and I kid you not, you are better with the full regular coke and its real sugar. I did the Zero last night too, I had to draw the line also! Tom

    I am not a fast food guy either, but I do enjoy a good Whataburger during my Texas Travels! BTW the Big Arch is only 1020 calories, I thought it would be more!!!!!!!!!!! (Actually looked that up).

    Things that annoy me

    Matt we all do for sure look at things in our own way, which is not a bad thing. The key is to be able to discuss them. Communication is probably the most important part. All of that said, renovating a house is certainly a huge project in its own, but I find that endeavor very rewarding...
