According to hundreds of news clippings from 1800 to the 1940’s, unusually large bones dug up got sent to or purchased by various museums. So, WHAT EXACTLY DID THE SMITHSONIAN DO WITH ALL THE 1000s OF BONES OF GIANTS THAT THEY ACQUIRED BETWEEN THEIR BEGINNING AND 1930ish?

I’m pretty sure an earthquake dropped it below sea level. The sea did not get higher, the ground sank down

Well, the Arc of the Covenant is on Oak Island, so take that off the list.

Don't forget these questions that, at least for now, haven't been answered:

IS THE ORIGIN OF THE PHRASE "HOLY CRAP!" FROM JOSEPH AND MARY CHANGING JESUS' DIAPER?

IS VALERIE JARRET BLACK OR WHITE?

HOW HIGH IS STACEY ABRAMS' GROCERY BILL?

WHICH COUNTY WILL BE THE FIRST TO ELECT FOR SHERIFF KYLE RITTENHOUSE?

IF ASIANS ARE SO MUCH SMARTER THAN AMERICANS, HOW COME CHINA HAS TO STEAL $250 BILLION TO $500 BILLION OF OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY EVERY YEAR EVEN THOUGH THEY LITERALLY HAVE 5 TIMES AS MANY BRAINS AS WE DO?

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, WILL THE DEMOCRATS ADD RMD'S TO ROTH IRA'S?

“AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, WILL THE DEMOCRATS ADD RMD’S TO ROTH IRA’S?”

My father insisted I put money into a Roth IRA because he said no congressman would dare tax or add RMD’s to those funds. He said they would have no chance at re-election.

His attitude has changed quite a bit since then.

And then there is this: 2 Maccabees 2:6-8

>>>

FATE OF THE ARK OF THE COVENANT

Everybody knows the rules... No Peeking!!!

And their faces -- a man to his brother (Exodus 25:20)

Detailed close-up:

A US Government warehouse was the perfect place to stash the Ark of the Covenant, because who would be able to sort through and decipher the vast lists of bureaucratic acronyms. They could mean any number of things. There are even acronyms for acronyms. The pit is deep. The Ark belongs with the Hebrews, in any case:

United States (ARtzot HaBrit):

ארה"ב

Ark of the Covenant (ARon HaBrit):

ארה"ב

Of course, no one is actually going to use the abbreviation ארה"ב for the Ark of the Covenant, because then the Ark might get confused with the United States. Perfect! ;)

2 Maccabees 2

5 Jeremiah came and found a cave-dwelling, and he brought there the tent and the ark and the altar of incense; then he sealed up the entrance.
6 Some of those who followed him came up intending to mark the way, but could not find it.
7 When Jeremiah learned of it, he rebuked them and declared: “The place shall remain unknown until God gathers his people together again and shows his mercy.
8 Then the Lord will disclose these things
, and the glory of the Lord and the cloud will appear, as they were shown in the case of Moses, and as Solomon asked that the place should be specially consecrated.”

WERE THE HANGING GARDENS OF BABYLON REAL?

I know just the place. It's right down the street from Mars, even where Jupiter aligns with Mars.

A recent article said the Egyptians made each block ... poured concrete. That is an interesting theory.

Trajectory analysis of the final JFK head shot is said to be calculated in error in the Warren Commissions’ analysis. Its angle could not have come from the 6th floor where Oswald was perched. Warren does agree that it came from behind though.

I think they will. And even if they do, Roth IRA's are probably still the best investment vehicle. In part because since you don't get the tax break as you put money into it, but do from then on (assuming you honor the order of distribution rules) you're effectively choosing to pay taxes now while the rates are low (assuming you're not temporarily in a really high income bracket).

With that in mind I suggest, if you're married, to put more money into the spouse's Roth IRA that's the oldest more than in the one who's youngest, at least on the years you don't have enough money in your budget to contribute the annual max for both of you ($6K per person if under 50, $7K per person if 50 or over). Then when you're sure the oldest person's Roth IRA will be enough to live on after that person is 59.5 years old, put more emphasis on the younger person's Roth IRA from then on in case the Dims do add RMD's to them. The younger age not only makes it years longer before the RMD's kick in, but also when both spouses are old enough to do the RMD's the younger age will require less to be withdrawn (because the calculation is age based).

Interesting you mentioned that...I just today called my broker to move some of my Roth IRA money out of poorly performing mutual funds. The strategy of a married couple is an interesting one but my girlfriend and I have not gotten to the point of discussing marriage.

The company I work for has an excellent 401k fortunately, I was told by a banker and my financial advisor. The company matches contributions very well. Of course this money has not been taxed yet.

You sound like either an independent business owner, a broker, a financial advisor or just someone who is good with money. Thanks.
