All one hears on the three news channels is how bad the economy is and trashing anything and everything to be negative and tell false statements. The truth is if you are investing the markets things are very good. I'm 1.2% down from my highest day every in the markets. Inflation, unemployment, GNP highest in history all looking good and interest rates are affordable.

With all BS from 4 years of nothing we should be happy and things look like a strong future ahead. You look at Russia 21.5 Interest rate 10.5 Inflation. Germany Japan and China have low interest rates and inflation but they have no growth (GNP) are very stale.

China not sure what data of information is true with them you can research all their numbers and still not sure what to believe. Could be bad or good no one really knows except them.

So, no matter what the three large news sources say I don't believe a word they say anymore. If you run your own numbers and find the facts you will see they aren't telling the whole story just want they want to degrade who they want too.

The news is not newsworthy. Been that way for three decades, at least.

I was going to ask if that was a recent revelation, lol. Some of us knew that the newspaper lied to us.

^ I know I like to listen to them just to see what they are lying about to the general public. You can take their story and check the data they are feeding the world and find the untruth in most all stories. The other thing they don't tell the story they should be reporting to the public that is the most thing they do is not giving the story because they don't want to. If they do it is coated with sugar. Lol

I agree with you Snowy , and the facts are there to support it.

Life is pretty good, until you turn on the news.

The other day there was some good news in the Middle East on one channel then the evening news came on and the line was inching closer to war with Iran? This on the same day it’s so obvious they have to follow the narratives they are given. I see another new producer bit the dust today at CBS she is out. The changes will come slow when the woke is in charge.

If you listen closely to exactly whats being said the slanted reporting is very apparent unfortunately the ones eating it up think it’s fair news.

I just checked my fedility account summary after seeing their tread. I'm up 36k in the last month and those holding there are the highest they have ever been.

Daughter has started her first job after finishing up school, the boys are hammering their mowing and odd job business with my wife's help( transportation and as
advertising) and my wife farm endeavors are running well. Mom is 6 years out from her cancer diagnosis she was given a 22% chance of living 5 year. family is healthy. God loves us and I live it the United States.

Yes life is great.

PF - where can i get a Fedility account like yours? Mine is an HSA account that pays $18 per month.

Seriously, glad things are going so well. Yes, God loves us.

Snowy - the news is usually slanted so hard it isn’t recognizable. What happened to Walter Cronkite? He always told us the truth.

economy is good here. everyone i know with employees needs more. groceries etc are still high but its not hard to earn enough money. progress seems to be made with foreign govts. imo they want viewers to keep tuning in to keep ad revenues high. i believe there is a real chance for fur to improve.

It's mostly only up on recovering, buying during the dip and contributions . I had cash put back seeing the dip comming and picked some winners at good price. To bad I didn't pick all winners at least not yet.

Found out a couple days ago the Qatar jet the media is trashing Trump over began being talked about/offered during the Biden presidency, Lol.

The mainstream media is an enemy to our republic.

I like starting the day with Mexican or Eastern European weather reports. I have no idea what they are saying, but the "forecasters" put me in a good mood.

Gas here at my local small town gas station is the lowest it has been for 18 months. NBC a month ago said gas was going to go high and prepare to a fuel supply and demand crisis.

The hate continues instead of making America better some tear it down.
