    Things that annoy me

    Not so fast, look at who funds the studies. It has been proven by no one. End of day, you do the crime, you pay the price. You willingly and calculate and perpetrate a killing (First Degree Murder definition), then you should suffer the same fate. Personally, I like the firing squad that...

    Things that annoy me

    Fully disagree here. It is not barbaric to execute serial killers like Charles Manson or for that fact any other first degree murderer. They murdered someone, ie killed them and ruined a family to the worst proportion. My cousin was killed in the Synagogue Mass Killing in Pittsburgh PA that...

    Gerard Prime from Frontline has passed away.

    Very sad to hear, Gerard was always very good to me as a collector and a hobby friend. I enjoyed visiting with him and his wit/humor many times. As I said, very kind to me in that I know he dug into very old inventory many many times to fill in my early Frontline gloss collection. I always...

    Things that annoy me

    Did you expect any different? You are illuminating the definition of insanity..........doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result! That is what Hollywood has become to me. The movie they gave all the awards to IMO was a terrible movie and not just because of...

    Hence my point, you just have to laugh. If I were him, I would find the fastest route out of this and be done with it. Again, just pay them for their property and fees, etc and get out of the national news spotlight. It is only a lose lose for him. Tom

    Things that annoy me

    Here is an outright disgusting display of free speech in America - the most assuredly Anti Israel Pro Iran demonstration happening in NYC Times Square. Shouts of support for Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran. I don't want to hear anything that this is Trump's fault. We have allowed this crap for much...

    Things that annoy me

    Mike I am not defending this practice as early on in my career, Microsoft hired me to audit their vendors who had use or lose type arrangements. That said as you indicated, welcome to government, it never ends no matter who is in charge. Also, I would bet if you do a full analysis on the last...

    Things that I really like

    Here is a funny one and I am linking the https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/02/22/josh-shapiro-neighbor-dispute-pennsylvania/ , governor of PA is in hot water and looking a little foolish in my opinion. I don't know who is right in this dispute, but from the surface, this is a NO win...

    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...

    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...
