  1. One of many items Iraq has to work on according to the 2016 SBA, payment of arrears.
  2. Insights into the SFA during the Iraqi elections? LOL. Man I got several bridges going up for sale in Kalamazoo. The Iraqi elections and the US SFA are prevalent on the minds of those politicians who are dealing with that aspect of the Iraqi government but to 85 to 95 percent of Iraqi's this vote isn't about the SFA or the US. Or you don't understand that then you have absolutely zero concept or idea of how these people think. It boils down to three factions, sunni, shiite and kurd. Kurds are the redheaded stepchild no one wants to deal with. More shiites in Iraq but sunnis are more numerous in slam. and have more political umphff in the ME. You know how each election in the US they say what are the top three things on the minds of the American people? Well this SFA doesn't even come into the top 5 in Iraq in the minds of the Iraqi people. If that list was extended out to 10 it might come in at 9 or 10 but that would just be such a minute part of the concerns iraqis have in their daily lives for the elections. It would be like saying the Kardashians created a sex tape so vote for Kayne. Doesn't equate. You are way overthinking things at this point. Its simple when people have a birthday, people say happy birthday and let them celebrate their birthday.The Department of State has protocols when governments are entering into elections. This is all this is. To read anything more into the protocol for saying good luck is over reading into things. There are protocols and then here are protocols. That one was like I said nothing more nothing less than a good luck and see ya on the flip side. SFA might be such a minute part of this platform, it doesn't even register with most iraqis.
  3. Here if you want something interesting I will tell you what you(you reading this text now) are thinking if you just follow along: This is the power of the mind from across oceans, across fields up and down mountains, over rolling meadows and off we go! Think of a number (bah be that way!) from 1 to 10. Now triple your number (and my drink). Add 6 to it. Now triple your number again (I will take another triple too). If you wish, double your number again. Add the digits of your number. So if you have 36, add 3 to 6 and you have your number. If that is a one digit number, stop! You can continue to drink as will I. Now after you added your number together and got another two digit number again, repeat and refill my drink with a double this time. Okay, now concentrate on your answer. Woah not so hard your veins are popping out of your forehead. Maybe a little less concentrating and more refilling my drink. Good. Who was that guy Johnny Carson used to channel before he opened the envelope? The Great? Okay today I am great because the number you were thinking of is the almighty number 9! Please throw paper currency, coins hurt!
  4. You think that is about the SFA or something else? HA! thatis nothing more than standard diplomatic double speak for when countries hold elections. The US Government is saying good luck and see ya on the flip side! No more interesting than growing rocks. Person 1: M R Ducks. Person 2: M R Not. Person 1: O S A R. C M Wangs? Person 2: L I B. M R Ducks! 'Xactly!

  7. If there is a will there is a way.
  8. I suggest getting a lifetime membership to Adam's VIP club. Ask and ye shall receive.
  9. And thus I said "tax rate". Whatever else you want to add to that tax rate is a personal choice. If you pay more than 3 to 5% on the exchange rate, you are getting Frisco'd on your derriere. If you apply the crisco they will come.
  10. Why? and Why? I wouldn't even cash in 300,000 to move out of that state (which I have stayed away from since the big one of 88). I wouldn't even to the NE, or Illinoise (for being no noise in Illinois they certainly cause an awfully loud ruckus). Look at your no income tax states, put your stuff in storage (or throw it all out, your choice), find an apartment, move there get a DL and a couple of utility bills mailed to you, change your voter reg and voila! You are now a resident of another state. Once residency status is official (varies by state), then implement your cash out plan. No need to get Frisco'd by CA on your derriere. As once was ever a wise man who said, Run Forest, run! And so I ran.
  11. 2018 Tax brackets Rate Individuals Married Filing Jointly 10% Up to $9,525 Up to $19,050 12% $9,526 to $38,700 $19,051 to $77,400 22% 38,701 to $82,500 $77,401 to $165,000 24% $82,501 to $157,500 $165,001 to $315,000 32% $157,501 to $200,000 $315,001 to $400,000 35% $200,001 to $500,000 $400,001 to $600,000 37% over $500,000 over $600,000 Just to let you know 3% per million saved is $30,000 of money in your pocket. 3% of 10,000,000 is $300,000 which is a good chunk of change towards the down payment of a new mansion. LOL. Add up 37% plus state and local taxes (county and city, if taxed at those levels) for income and you have your best guestimate for a tax rate. This does not include deductibles nor credits, should those come into play (like donations to qualified charities etc.) BTW I qualify myself as a charity, although your donations will not be tax-deductible. God gives willingly so I take willingly. (Just joking or am I? bwahahaha)
  12. Gud thang eboniks never tuk hold, 'cuz da bruther from ahnuther muther wuld be pimp slapped in the hud. (Not hood-da, H.U.D. for the crackers outta da burbs) Da n--a does not know his dam place is wut the elder bruther be sayin. Woke! #BLM. Peace! /s Seriously, all levity aside. Alas, another and good singer as well, fails to get what Kayne is saying. That singer is trying to use the clout he gained as a singer in the world of politics. No one alive today was a slave during the period of slavery in America and yet, too many equate to being in proverbial shackles even to this day. The choice Kayne talks about is how after all that America has done to try to make equality and yet maintain diversity, it is those, by choice, who strive to keep the proverbial shackles tethered to their ankles and to the past. Kayne means once a person chooses freedom and unshackles themselves from the proverbial shackles, many will find themselves to be in, then and only then will they be free and progress. If they choose to remain shackled to the past and see themselves still as the slave of yesteryear, then by their choice they are keeping those shackles on. This is very heart of what Kayne is speaking about. Those who do not wish to hear this have told Kayne he "speaks out of turn", "he is lying" etc. It is those that have used these proverbial shackles to keep good men down (and women) to increase their own financial well beings. This is political as well as the one who strays dares others to go along. As those who are afraid, this might happen might see the unity of the masses crumble and heaven forbid they think for themselves. Thus, no longer being able to count on the block vote for democrats. Again this goes back to the money. Deny the predictable block vote machination and they fear money will dry up as if the sieve has had all the holes plugged. Kayne poses a threat to their wealth machinations and in that end, you have those who keep the good men (and women) down. I have said it for a very long time, slavery ended but like alcoholics anonymous, they just traded one addiction for another. Sad indeed. This is the very reason all conservative men and women of African descent are called Uncle Toms (referring to the Civil War Underground Railroad). The Jews had something like this in the ghettos during WWII they were called Capos and this was a totally different concept. But the similarity as to the two is not further from the truth but in reverse. The capos would the main population and the main population in the ghettos would be the Uncle Toms. Keep a man down and he will never learn to fish, but he will learn how to beg for the fish.
  13. The one thing about AI is that it will come close to replacing the human brain but never will never fully replace it. So the hub bub about AI is going to take over the world, those who do lose their jobs need to train to either fix the AI or learn how to code the AI. Revenge is oh so sweet.
  14. At least this Nobel Peace Prize candidate did something before being nominated, unlike the 2009 and 2007 winners.
  15. This would not be surprising they would be targetting this in this 5-year plan as these are the very subjects found within the 2016 SBA agreement the IMF has identified Iraq has great need to work on to meet the milestones. One of those benchmarks is to increase the non-oil producing sectors of Iraq. The SBA is due for its third review in August and results out by November/December (with a final report due out in May 2019). Based off of how many of the milestones get waived or are missed will determine the future economic viability of the dinar. After the completion of the three-year SBA will things begin to exponentially improve for all of those concerned. The official spokesman of the Ministry of Planning Abdul-Zahra al-Hindawi, said that "the five-year plan, which the ministry seeks to implement in cooperation with most government agencies, aims to promote the sectors of health, tourism and electricity specifically
  16. Only one difference will end the differences with Maliki, the difference between the wood he stands on as he attached to a rope and the lack of wood he stands on as he is attached to a rope. This same difference was solved with Sadam and the solution ended quite well except for one that is.
  17. Maliki gets two seats because of his ginormous behind and his head/ego takes up three seats. So all together Maliki gets five seats. Kommon Kore math alive and well in Iraq.
  18. Here normala a little history on the Iranian toman from Wikipeedia: The Iranian toman (Persian: تومان‬‎, pronounced [tomɑn]; from Mongolian tümen "unit of ten thousand",[1][2][a] see Tumen (unit)) is a superunit of the official currency of Iran, the rial. It was divided into 10,000 dinars. Between 1798 and 1825, the toman was also subdivided into 8 rial, each of 1250 dinar. In 1825, the qiran was introduced, worth 1000 dinars or one tenth of a toman. In 1932, the rial replaced the toman at a rate of 1 toman = 10 rials (i.e., 1 rial = 1 qiran). Although the rial is the official currency of Iran, Iranians employ the term 'toman', meaning 10 rials. On 7 December 2016, the Iranian government approved a call by the central bank to replace the country's rial currency with the more colloquially and historically known toman denomination. If the Iranian parliament votes to approve the measure, Iran's currency will change its name and value after nearly eight decades.[8]
  19. In a nutshell... we are waiting to see what will happen in the next stage of Iraq's economic development program.
  20. Consultants say Longaberger has gone out of business By: Rob Sneed Updated: May 04, 2018 11:22 PM EDT COLUMBUS (WCMH) - NEWARK, OH (WCMH) - A local American treasure has gone out of business, shutting down after decades of making hand-made baskets. The Longaberger Company, a name known across Central Ohio, has apparently ceased operations. Consultants surprised by the news told to stop taking customer orders. Former employee James Kirkbride said he's sad to see it go. "They've been there a lot of years. I've talked to a lot of people who worked there for 20, 30 years. And it's. You know, what do you do," said James Kirkbride. Calls to the company's headquarters have gone unanswered.
  21. How is the plumbing? Does it have trash service? Can I get a cell signal? I'm in! /s
  22. Well if the dollar goes below the current value of the dinar, nothing is going to work because it will be the end of the world as we know it.
  23. It's too close to the election less than 14 days. Think of when Comey stated that he was reopening the Hitlary case. That took up the news cycle 24/7 for days. The only thing that changed the narrative was the election itself. By RVing before the elections at this point would deny the candidates much needed air and print time. It's not politically expedient to RV at this juncture. While it would draw the eyes of the world outside of Iraq, it would not be beneficial to any candidate inside of Iraq. If you see the trucker again, tell him his tags are about to expire.
