The Message Forum is an ongoing dialogue among classmates. The goal is to encourage friendly interaction, including interaction among classmates who really didn't know each other. Experience on the site has revealed that certain topics tend to cause friction and hard feelings, especially politics and religion. 

Although politics and religion are not completely off-limits, classmates are asked to be positive in their posts and not to be too repetitive or allow a dialog to degenerate into an argument.

Lowell,

I am pretty sure all the Indian (Indigenous Peoples) PAC money from casinos went to Democrats this year.  You know, the ones that sit home and get drunk and think of themselves as victims and collect a government check each month.  These are the ones that could drive 50 miles and get an oilfield job making $100,000 a year like many hispanics have done.

Steve,

Nine in ten, or 91% of the riots in the United States were linked to the Black Lives Matter ( the organization formed by two women who despise the US.  One of the women was Opal Tometi.)   That is according to a recent study.

The U.S. experienced 637 riots between May 26th and Sept.12th of 2020, and 91% of those riots were linked to the Black Lives Matter movement, according to the U.S. Crisis Monitor, a joint project at Princeton University.  Forty-nine states, not counting Washinton D.C., experienced riots during that time period.  California led the nation with 86 riots during that time.  Oregon came next with 79 riots.

Black Lives Matter, a violent Marxist (aka Communist) movement that hates law enforcement, was just nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.  The funding for BLM is tied to dark money and most of it comes from George Soros.

Who keeps saying that George Soros is a good guy who is just misunderstood?

Steve Keene

Janalu,

And isn't strange that Progressive governors of any of those states would not call in National Guard troops to prevent any of those riots which cost many middle class businesses their livelyhoods, but 200 revelers in Washington, D.C. break into the Capitol and the Democrats need 25,000 National Guardsman with machine guns and bunkers and  razor wire fence to protect themselves?  Now they want to keep them there for four months as their own private security.  Suddenly they have decided that every elected official that supported Trump and all 84 million voters who voted for Trump are just White Supremacists.  I don't think hispanics like Ted Cruz and blacks like Walter Williams and Herschel Walker would self identify as White Supremacists, do you?

Steve Keene

Lowell,

Sorry for the belated response to your Ken Paxton questions.  I have been giving out investment advice on this forum to my friends without a license.  Do I need to go to jail, too?

Janalu Jeanes (Parchman)

Steve,

I just finished watching a movie on YouTube.  It was called  AGENDA 2: Masters of Deceit

It was produced by Curtis Bowers, a civilian, who won a major money award for his movie, and its message is EXCELLENT for telling all  AMERICANS of what is happening to our country currently.  IT IS A MUST SEE, and can be found easily on YouTube.  Just look it up as I did, and watch it for a little over an hour.  It will be well worth the time for every American citizen.  It is a VERY important film to see, to understand what our country is up against at this time, and explains SO MUCH of what fears we are having just now.  It's mainly about the Socialism/ Leftist bent that has taken over the Democrat Party, and what we have in store for us, as our country is NOW HEADED down a completely different path than we intended to go down. It is about how we are in extreme danger RIGHT NOW concerning the fate of our America.  It is SO IMPORTANT for everyone to watch, no matter which political party you are in.  I can't express how AMAZINGLY WELL DOCUMENTED and EXPLAINED all of the subject matter is, in this film!  

PLEASE everyone of our fellow classmates!  Take a little time and see this film/documentary!!!!  There are SO many factual history notes within this film, many of which you will instantly recognize and understand, as to what this movie producer is telling all of our citizens.  It's startling and mind-bogglingly TRUE, as you will see!!!!

It is unbelieveably important for you and your family to know about ALL OF THESE FACTS!!  

YOU WILL NOT REGRET WATCHING ALL OF THE INFORMATION INCLUDED WITHIN ITS MESSAGE!!!!!

After you watch this film, please post here with what you think of it!  

 I know I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight with so many things on my mind now.......

Good song Lowell! 
A couple ot years ago Ellen and I were returning from Houston, and saw a guy shuffling around a basket near the baggage claim. I saw an expensive guitars' strap fall over the side and down toward the back wheel. (could see it about to catch) Just as Ellen whispered, " It's Billy Gibbons!"

I ran quickly saying " Billy you're about to lose your guitar." So I stopped the basket as the strap had made one turn! I heard the raspy. deep voice say, "Well thank you"  I kept expecting a "e haw haw haw haw!"With that he

tucked the strap inside. Then a group of folks exiting a limo came running inside to escort him out.

Course it wasn't like he was trying to hide much; with the weaved cap, trademark shades and of course the guitar! 😉

Jerry May

Here's a song I had on yesterday

Lowell Tuttle

Steve, big difference...you do it for free and, well, he admitted doing for commisions without a license.  And, he was an attorney running for the top position of Texas' justice system.

Bob Fleming

Steve,

The difference between you and Ken Paxton is that - on our Forum - everybody knew better than to give you a single damn cent of their had-earned money to invest.  Not to mention the fact that we all knew that NO investment firm on earth would deign to hire you.  NOR were you foolish enough to represent yourself as an licensed investment adviser.

Alas, neither of these three things was true for  Paxton.  Thus the indictment.

Bob Fleming

And further Steve, it is a very dangerous thing - I think - to ask the members of this Forum whether or not you should "go to jail."  The vote would be a very near thing and might not reflect in your favor.

You should be glad that such a thing is not possible.  And now that I think about it, so should I and not a just a few other people in the RHS Class of 1969. 

David Cordell

Don't worry, Steve. We Republicans know that you've done nothing wrong, so we wouldn't send you to jail. Of course, the Democrats don't care whether you've anything wrong or not. It's a matter of whether they like you or not. Good news: they like you, so no jail for you.

Wait a minute. I forgot. You voted for Trump. So you are a racist, homophobe, mysogonist, and xenophobe. You don't need to worry about jail. It's a capital offense. Not for being one of those types of people, but merely for being accused, even without evidence.

Elections matter.

Steve Keene

David, Bob and Hull,

Two Democrat daughters took me to lunch for my birthday today at Prego's Pasta House.  I would not risk it for you but for time with my daughters I went out to lunch.  Tony Barraco was there and Joey is back working there every day but Monday and Thursday on the night shift.

I haven't updated you guys lately on my progress with my 42 year old "girlfriend."  I think the following song sums it all up.........

Steve Keene

Bob,

I hear what you are saying about my dumb investment advice, but I gave everyone on this forum plenty of time to get ahead of the next craze of the reddit bunch buying silver stocks and even giving you the name of the stock AG to invest in.  Read em and weep boys when my ship comes in and no one would take the plunge with me.  My portfolio of silver stocks is up at least 25% in one day and AG is up close to 40%.  I am fixing to have a lot more dry powder for the crash that will happen in February or March.  It didn't take Biden long to take away eveyone's confidence..  You can't give away that many jobs, rejoin the Paris accords which punish us while rewarding the rest of the world, give the Chinese a blank check and authorize Iran to begin building nukes again without there being repercussions.  But, I know how much trouble it must be to call your investment advisor and say buy me some AG stock for my 401k.  Go ahead and stick to the churn and burn your capital guys while making you 3 or 4% a year.

Steve Keene

Lowell,

I am not an attorney, but I often play one on the forums.

David Cordell

Steve,

You must have left me out of the loop about the 42-year-old. Martha and I just celebrated our 47th anniversary. Just sayin'. Although, if the question were, "Why would a 70-year-old date a 42-year-old," the answer would be, "Because he can." Usually, there's a big bank account involved.

Martha's niece married a man who is 25 years younger. Now that's an oddity.

About silver and shorting, IMHO you are talking about speculation rather than investing. As with most oil men, you have a strong streak of speculation within. So did the hedge fund managers that just took it in the ... well, you know. Win big. Lose big. As I have said before, I am more concerned about the return OF my money than the return ON my money. 

Meanwhile, all the wild action in the market is wreaking havoc on my portfolio because the short-sellers are selling other stock to cover their shorts. 

Bob Davidson

The best explanation of why the progressives are so nasty after they took over the country:

"Self-righteous progressives believe they put up with and suffer on behalf of us—and thus their irrational fury and hate for the irredeemables and conservative minorities spring from being utterly unappreciated by clueless serfs who should properly worship their betters."  Victor Davis Hanson.

Hanson is one of my favorite writers, both on contemporary culture and politics and military history.

I just got a E-mail about how now Argentina is now having Jury Trials in both criminal and civil. They now join the US and Canada to allow civil jury trials

Bob Davidson

Wayne,

Most Americans take jury trials for granted, but shouldn't.  I used to get various judges I like to come talk to the boys in the troop about their rights and duties as an American citizen for the 1st Class requirement.  One of them used his time to talk about the jury system at length.  It opened my eyes a little -- and I deal with that stuff every day.

They are a really big guarantee of freedom from government oppression.  The idea is that instead of a government official deciding your criminal or civil case, you have a group of ordinary citizens doing it.  Like all of the wonderful provisions in the Constitution limiting the government, it interferes with the effeciency of the government by limiting its power.

Argentina has a history of caudillo authoritarianism, including the socialist regime of Peron that wrecked the economy.  I say good for them with the jury trials.

Wayne Gary

Bob,

Several years ago I was on a Work injury jury that awarded the worker $26.3million for a broken back.  The Judge told us only the US and Canada had civil juriy trials and after the triial i learned about the Civil Jury Trial project and was on a jurior panel at one of their lunchens for Dallas Bar.  Since then I get their monthly e-mail newsletter.  I was shocked that the UK discontinued civil jury trials and as you are well aware that is where our legal system came from.

If I could draw better than a six-year-old and if I were willing to take the time, I would have done a better job with this proposed cartoon.

David,

Your explanation on investing reminds me of the guy going down the highway picking up cans to take to the aluminum recycler.  His partner says, "Look here.  There's a silver bar on the side of the road.  We can take it to the recycler, too."  First guy, replies, "No, leave it lay.  I don't know anything about silver.  We're in the aluminum recycling business.  And anyway, somebody might rob us if we are carrying silver."

David Cordell

Good analogy, Steve. Now, where's that free silver? Oh, did I mention that I went to St. Mark's with a kid named David Sands? He was the nephew of Nelson and Bunker Hunt. Just sayin'.

Jerry May

"All together now.......everybody"

Steve Keene

David,

I did not say corner the market with Hull.  You corner the market with thousands of other little guys and then nobody takes too big a hit if things go bad.  By the way, I don't recall Nelson and Bunker standing in a line at the food pantry even after they lost their shirts in silver, do you?  This morning I  am out of the stock AG after taking my proofits which were close to 50% on my position.  I am out of SVM with 30% on my position.  If prices fall enough I may buy back in, but right now I am going to gold and platinum.  So the answer to your question is it is sold at the recycler.
