It's President Biden's strong economy and robust job market that is influencing the Fed interest rate calendar.

I saw a couple clips of three protesters. At least two were wearing BDUs. Was the third a veteran? I couldn't see in the clip.

I hope you don't invest if you believe a hearing about a FOX personality has any influence on the market.


As several of my family members have observed “the market has been going down since Trump was elected”.

You’re probably regretting America’s choice too.

Do your kids serve or are they at UVA? Your conjecture about the downfall of the United States is cute. That I don't let Republican political appointments disproportionately influence my life isn't being self absorbed, it's being grounded in reality.


Then why are you on the politics forum?

It’s clear Trump voters do not care about the future of our republic.

My husband served 34 years. I lived that miserable life for a lot of them. My kids made enormous sacrifices. We often sacrificed our health, our financial future, and our happiness.

Enjoy your fascist oligarchy. You’re going to be mighty surprised when you can’t escape the consequences.
