That is what we were paying 4 years ago for 2 adults in our late 50s in Virginia, it was absolutely insane!

I now pay only 6.5% on any worldwide passive income over €47,100/yr, so not any on retirement income (SS or 401k distributions), just realized investment distributions

A visit to the Institut National de France today to see their impressive library. It is free admission and a hidden secret in the center of Paris.

Even as a former US Marine, I am not opposed to the concept of direct commissioning at a senior rank - this was the tradition of the US military for many years at the nation's founding.

It is interesting that these people are NOT required to pass a physical fitness test, so much for the speech!

It is funny that the man who talks about returning to "standards" installed a Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff that was unqualified (did not meet the standards for the job) and needed a waiver.

You mean like when Hegseth lowered the standards to install the new Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff that wasn't qualified? Just asking for a friend.
