Use your head – try to not follow the politicians – or the bureaucratsaplenty – after all – all we do is pay them and then we get back to real work – real jobs – real responsibility – real life – and then we pass “GO” and someone else takes over and life goes on…….

We do offer this above reading for one reason other than its obvious value to an “investor” and here it is – who do you think will be blamed (held accountable) when the following occurs…"...although the U.S. market could continue moving higher and bring in more investors who want to join the party they’ve missed, the odds are good the worst is yet to come.”

Who?

The decline of the Democrat Party…

Here is a one year listing of articles* examining and explaining and simply offering facts and some fundamentals about our title subject – the decline of the democrat party:

We offer the following several words from the last link listed above:

 “If the Democrats have one thing in common, it's their shared hatred of President Trump. His shocking win over Hillary Clinton and the subsequent madness of his rule have galvanized the party in a way unseen in at least a decade. Yet their unity in opposition masks lingering and deep fissures in the party.

Yet even the left-wing is divided about the best way forward. Should it follow Elizabeth Warren's lead and promise a return to the trust-busting ways of the early 20th century? Or should it emulate the more sweeping, Nordic-style politics of Bernie Sanders? Or perhaps the Democratic Socialists of America are right and something even more extreme is needed.”

…only time will tell…meanwhile 90+% of American media is simply lost…and the Washington DC nincompoops aplenty hang on for dear life…and a lot of us simply need to think about and maybe deal with this question – what meaneth this for me and mine?

* we have not read all of these…

"...our Nation can count on you."

MEMORANDUM FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
SUBJECT: Guidance on the Government Shutdown

Our government will shutdown at midnight tonight. We in the Department of Defense will continue carrying out our fundamental responsibility to defend our Nation and the American people.

We will continue to execute daily operations around the world – ships and submarines will remain at sea, our aircraft will continue to fly and our warfighters will continue to pursue terrorists throughout the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia. While training for reservists must be curtailed, active forces will stay at their posts adapting their training to achieve the least negative impact on our readiness to fight.

I recognize the consequences of a government shutdown. You have my personal commitment that the Department’s leadership will do our best to mitigate the impacts of the disruptions and any financial burdens to you and your families.

Steady as she goes – hold the line. I know our Nation can count on you.

STAY ALERT

(signed)

The above is worth reading – now, today, any day

Shutting down

We cannot help but mention something brief and wise learned over centuries – the best thing that ever happens to “we, the people” is when government shuts down.

For a week, say – well it’s a beginning

For a month, say – a start

For a year, well now – now we may be on the road to good change

For a decade or more – folks this is exactly what happened for many decades beginning in the late 1700’s – we moved on with the one thing we need as a “people”  – good men fighting and getting rid of the endless piles of smelly ____ that build when governments are not shutting down routinely.

Another New Year? Maybe – maybe not.

Before we write these several words pls know this – we don’t write out of some form of hope or anticipation that things continue on the crap path we have been following for some time now.  We also know that historically – a long time ago – new year was quite a different idea and practice than currently occurring and in many places/groups didn’t occur at all.  So be it.

Our day as have been the past several could have been lost in the endless TV nonsense occurring today – football from every and in every form and location and what we get a particular kick out of are the dumbo’s with some form of massive opportunity limitations slightly offset by televised football games about which they can chat endlessly and accomplish absolutely nothing but cause one to almost prefer the never ending cost rising ridiculousness of our televised advertisements for everything from the cars we may drive to the toilet paper we use to the pills we may take and to the various foods now offered at darn near every corner unless one is able to get the he** out of our large cities and suburbs run by overpaid and completely unneeded useless nincompoops called sometimes – government employees*.

How on earth did we – we the people – remember the basic use of those three simple words – WE THE PEOPLE – how on earth did we the people ever fall victim to this ridiculous nonsense?  May be best to not even raise the question.

We always come back to a basic – a fundamental – one of two basic fundamental reasons why this old fart occasionally writes these unread pieces of brevity that apparently are not quite in line with our wonderful country existing today.

One fundamental is – anyone who borrows money must pay it back or flush themselves with or without assistance.  No worthwhile human being sticks a kid – their own or others – with piles of nonrepaid debt growing astronomically now in our country and several of the most ridiculous states/county’s/city’s falling apart as you read these few brief words.  Our recent top military man spoke about our problem not all that long ago – it’s at the top of this page – and what happened?  Well, we the people voted in a top guy from a craphole state/county/city who darn near doubled the debt – this dumb IL farthead is now missed by our media fartheads (well just 90+% of ‘em) and the hollywood fartheads (smelly oscars-a-comin’) and then our 1,000,000+ group led by nine of the most gaseous no-brainers ever who never say a word about requiring DEBT repayment.

The other fundamental has to do with the good men who died for us.  That this old fart of a guy has not earned the right to do or say anything other than – thank you men – God please care for them – we are simply not worthy of what they and You have done for us.

Merry Christmas – 2018, can’t wait!

America’s Media Nincompoops – HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

We found one (apparently not in the 90+% of media nincompoops) who displays some hope going forward and we offer links to his recent offering followed by a few “observations” of our own.  Ready?

Now before you start to whine about this and that as we finish 11+ months of this guy who is not exactly everyone’s “cup of tea” we – thefundamentals – would like to simply point out the one thing that we know is missing and we are afraid that this new guy knows it needs to be done and still has it somewhere on his list and we – thefundamentals – simply wish to encourage him – before November 8, 2018 for the simple reason mentioned below in our closing paragraph to take the first step of paying down some of our national debt (see the number above/below) because it is the right - the correct - the badly needed action regardless of the media nincompoops – the democrat nincompoops and that fat load of republican nincompoops so that – we the people – can hear what those running for office on that day – all 435 nincompoops in the house – 33 nincompoops in the senate – we have no clue what to do with the nine nincompoops in the “ANYTHING BUT SUPREME” court “PILE OF YOU KNOW WHAT” – have to say about doing something we owe our kids/our grandkids/yep, the ones not even yet conceived!!!!

So what’s missing – well write and tell us how often you hear the Washington DC 435/100/9 sh**heads and their press nincompoops mention this amount that we owe and how much of it they intend to repay during their term when it comes due (gosh just like any good American does) –

$20,000,000,000,000.00 plus change

REAL REPAYMENT!   Sure would make our 2018 a GOOD and HAPPY NEW YEAR!  How about you?
