The Supremes rigged the election today. Evidently the current congressional maps were way too fair. Term limits for justices will not fix this court this anytime soon.

I hold 30 stocks. Per Treasury Secretary Richie Rich, I am a banker, a line mechanic, an elevator attendant, a coal stoker, a pharmacologist and a fella that is great with 19-rack mount equipment. Wrong on most counts. I am a whiz at MRP, robotics and New Product Introduction. Soy bean farmer. Pfft.

Texas 35th is already the poster child for obscene redistricting designed to ignore half the population.
Colorado should revise districts 3, 4, 5 and 8 to eliminate Republican representation.

Why have we lost most of our wars in my 65 years? Why do we outspend Russia, China and Europe combined on military? Has any military attacked North America in centuries?

Since 2020, I mimic the S&P 500 sector make-up with direct ownership of thirty stocks. Through the year I gradually review them from ABT to WFC and back to ABT. Twice a year I rebalance them all to equal weighting and make any changes.

For your health, ignore the daily news cycle. Hell, ignore the monthly news cycle. I only do this in investing, but as a long term investor this is what the Trump administration looks like since inauguration. If you react to every twitch and wiggle, he's got you by the pubes. Think for yourself.
