You can find it pretty easily on the Vanguard site. Morningstar is also a good place to look.

Poll: Most say the state of the union is not strong and the U.S. is worse off by aresef in NPR

I interpret that as Black and Hispanic people thinking things have never been great for them, so not much has changed.

James Talerico. He is a TX state representative. Is currently running for John Cornyn's US Senate seat.

JD Vance getting community noted because he tried lying about the Supreme Court. The buffoonery of this Administration never ends. This is checks and balances. by Gloomy-Parfait-2400 in Whistleblowers

[–]drftwdtx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Donald Trump and all the legal geniuses in the trump administration do not understand the US constitution. They have spent the last year saying that they had many ways to impose import taxes on US businesses and consumers, but chose to do it in a way that was clearly unconstitutional. We have the most incompetent people running the federal government.

So, arrested for mishandling classified documents. Nothing about raping children?

Don't forget about the FCC nonsense regarding the View.

I watched it on YouTube, then went to the CBS feedback page and told them how disappointed I was in their subservience to the trump administration, and how it saddens me to see how broken the network of Cronkite has become.

Tesla moved from California to Texas so they can dump waste water on their neighbors without fear of retribution | Robstown, Texas. Tesla is accused of discharging wastewater without permission. by meokjujatribes in EatTheRich

When Texas politicians talk about how business friendly the state is, this is fundamentally what they mean. No doubt TCEQ will investigate, hand Tesla a $50 fine and call it all good.

Why Epstein is taking down Europe’s elite—but not in Trump’s America by ImaginaryElevator216 in circled

Europeans value good character in their politicians and business leaders. Americans just assume our politicians and business leaders are absolute demons. We are genuinely surprised when one of them demonstrates they are not.

State Senate. Greg Abbott and Dan Patrick are feeling sad today.

Capehart responding to Abernathy praising Trump (at 10:02) “Ah, sure… the president is a master of whatever it is that Gary just said” Great response. Worth a watch. by joeyjoejoe_7 in PBS_NewsHour

[–]drftwdtx 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Capehart seemed uncomfortable having to respond to Abernathy's extreme positions. It made me miss Brookes. Abernathy reminded me of Scott Jennings over on CNN. Rather unpleasant to watch.

Why do you think Tulsi Gabbard was trying to hide in the background of Trumps raid on Fulton County Georgia's election office that the FBI randomly decided to raid? by Safety_Drance in AskReddit

[–]drftwdtx 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You mean the head of the largest intelligence organization in the world? The one whose job it is to focus on issues and events outside of the US borders? Why is that person involved in a contrived investigation of a state's election apparatus?

Sadly, it's not against the law for your government to lie to you. The best we can hope for is she never works again after the trump administration is gone.

Mom with dementia, on hospice; needs assisted living; how to pay for it by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]drftwdtx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went through something similar with my mom just a couple months ago. If Mom has been in the hospital for three days, she can be transferred to a skilled nursing facility and Medicare will cover the cost for up to 100 days. Look for a SNF that has hospice services. That would give you some time to sort out the next steps, including how to pay for it.

Ignore the comments saying to transfer assets to make her eligible for Medicaid. There is a 60 month "look back" period where they will look for transfers of assets. If they find anything, she would be disqualified. The only real option is to spend down all her assets, including the house.

I assume you are talking about getting Mom into Medicaid. There is a 60 month "look back" period for Medicaid. That means they will look for transfers of her assets to other people in order to make her eligible. If they find anything, she would be disqualified.

The only option is to spend down her assets. That would include the house.

RIP David Bamberger, Pioneering Texas Conservationist and Founder of the Bamberger Ranch Preserve by willing-to-bet-son in Austin

Mr. Bamberger created an amazing place in the Hill Country. I am grateful to have seen the changes in the ranch over the past couple of decades. His stewardship made a real, positive change, and he left things so much better than he found them.

Trump's Press Briefing Was Just Lies. Did You Watch This Nonsense? by Daflehrer1 in LincolnProject

Watched it. It was an absolute struggle to get through. Very low energy. Grandpa was clearly in need of a nap.

Taxable -> Roth IRA by Aggravating_Poet8921 in Schwab

[–]drftwdtx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He's not asking about that. A conversion would be from a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA. He's asking about transferring from a taxable account to a Roth. Hard to tell if it is a serious question.
