• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Minnesota is drowning in fraud.

So you DO or DO NOT think martha stewart is an inside trader? Allow me to steelman this argument here because youre being slippery
She's a public figure who is a convicted felon, which you seemed to think is a difficult combination.

Pelosi has not even been charged with any felonies, much less convicted. Everything that's been posted is pure speculation based on incomplete information.

Again with the slipperiness. I don't care, man. Just answer the question.

I don't see why beating the S&P 500 is just a big deal, especially over the last few years.
It's not a big deal. There are years-long periods when other sectors beat it.
Dave Ramsey has even more subscribers and his investment advice is garbage. Subscriber count means nothing.
I saw a recent interview in which he said his firm brought in $300M last year. And yet he makes some recommendations that are dead wrong (though that's a topic for another thread).
It's not irrelevant if you're trying to describe the return rates on her entire portfolio. Because your piece(s) obfuscate their sources so much, it's unclear to me whether they're always referring to just her stock portfolio or her entire net worth. Other pieces I've seen have been more clearly about her entire net worth.
Bingo. They're mixing apples with oranges and calling it spaghetti and comparing that with chocolate cake.

It's a report. It's not meant to meet the burden of proof in a court of law.
There will be more investigations and the billion in fraud that we are reading about is just the tip of the iceberg
Just like when DOGE found so much fraud that nobody was charged with fraud.

No, you don't get to hijack his much better argument and pass it off as your own. Answer the question: is Martha Stewart an inside trader or no?

No, but she was convicted of obstruction charges related to it.

So even the most famous example of insider trading in modern history is not an insider trader to you. No wonder Pelosi can do no wrong in your eyes. Good day sir : D

Hey, you are the one who pointed it out.

Do you have any evidence of Pelosi doing insider trading?

I'll eventually answer this question but I'm gonna make you ask it twice because that's what you made me do. Do you like my profile rebrand? : D

Did how did I know what article and authors were referenced? Prophecy?
I was referring to the article that I posted which you quoted. I am also referring to the article which said 500 Minnesota government workers are whistleblowers about the billions dollars fraud committed by Somalians in Minnesota.

Who is this? An Islamic group that follows a strict Salafi-jihadi ideology. They are seeking to establish an Islamic emirate in Somalia governed by its extreme interpretation of Sharia law. It is strongly anti-Western, anti-African Union, and opposes the Federal Government of Somalia (FGS), which it considers apostate.

This coming from a State governed by someone who could have been VP.
Reminds me of the story about Haitians eating cats and dogs.
