Hasn’t helped us too much yet in the world markets, silver still down a bit.

Martin Luther King Day.

Probably fitting for one of the most important inaugurations in U.S. history. Is a new era about to begin, where the government gets trimmed down, where the criminals that have been running things and committed serious crimes – including treason – be brought to justice? Will the darkness finally be brought to life? Or will it just be more of the same?

I’m disgusted with Trump’s foray into the crypto market, but if he and his cabinet do the things they said they would, I can live with it. The atmosphere around the new administration is almost revolutionary, and expectations are sky high. I have no doubt they will fight him all the way.

Some good things happening today with executive orders, he is suspending the clearances of the 51 intel chiefs that signed the letter about Hunter’s laptop being Russian disinformation. Releasing most of the January 6th protestors that were falsely imprisoned. Supposedly there are 200 executive orders he’ll be signing today, probably 90% of them will be challenged in court, and many will be blocked temporarily by activist judges no doubt.

Lastly, we’ve already seen the first major blunder and the first smart move. The blunder – he has allowed the acting DNI chief to stay in charge while Tulsi gets confirmed, she is a Biden appointee, why? Is there seriously no one else? The smart move – he and Mike Johnson stripped RINO Mike Turner of his intelligence committee chairmanship and took him out. Turner was apparently trying to meddle with his national security positions in the white house by planting deep staters on the staff that would report directly to him so that he effectively would have run the nation’s national security while Trump appointees were being confirmed. Unbelievable balls on that guy. The demonrats are all butt hurt about it, so you know Turner was filthy. There are traitors all over DC, he’s got to root them out and destroy them.

The “R” Senate better come through on his cabinet picks or there will be blood.

God willing, he gets sworn in today and is able to make changes. We will see.

Wowser. Air is getting expensive these days. Bitcoin up another $6K to around $108K as the new Crypto King is about to be sworn in.

Winner’s win.

Gold, dollar, rates oil, SM all sort of flatlining.

Appears there’s only one place to be. Sell everything by a crypto. Doesn’t matter which one, just jump in and do it!

When that house of cards collapses, Trump will be blamed if he’s still in office. He’s got a crypto friendly crew, and I suspect they will de-regulate the industry. At some point someone is going to pull the plug.

The only saving grace might be that there’s not a huge amount of players yet, unlike stocks.

I think his crypto deal was really poor judgement. I don’t understand it, but I see no difference between that and Pelosi and Congress trading on inside info. None.

“Gum Trees” Interesting! I know that in California the Eucalyptus trees do very well and as you were saying are very flammable.
I like their smell!

Who else has the world’s second-largest marching Army under his control? So I hope Ukraine kills him soon. We haven’t even considered all his terrorist friends running the world’s gas pumps. You know Palmer Luckey wants to kill him really badly. I mean look at this guy, he’s wild! He’s silicon valley’s war king. The leader in drones, robots, AI and Explosives. Putie is effed.

Elon too, another force that Putie misjudged. I say weaponize Space X and Tesla against the mad man and end it. It’s certainly in the cards. Same with China faulkers. Get ready for some fights, they’re coming.

Dumb and dumber. Now cooling off a bit at $103K. If something can swing $3K in a few minutes. it’s worthless and fake if you ask me. Fake!

I got a nest egg of the real deal, so I don’t care. I just don’t want to break the seal until we see $100K gold. We can see AI doesn’t quite know what an Eagle really looks like. ha

I want to eat my Gold cake and mine it too, we need some good price action!

Reforest Australia first. Good idea.

Tks for that ……my info was from an Aussie, who wasn’t too keen on the Abo’s…..Amazing, so all that desert was once Forest…..that was one large forest.

I remember flying over Aussie and seeing that desert…hour after hour, just red earth,,,,with occasional road and rarely a building then more desert….

Trump’s accomplishments compared to what, Bidens, Europes being taken over by give me cretins and rape gangs while they steal their land including farms using ” climate change” as much as the traitors used the word misinformation?

He also put Kennedy in after seeing the corruption and racketeering going on the first time around. I don’t think A stupid person couldn’t accomplish as much as he did especially under such opposition and corruption from within conspiring against him. He was the only candidate from either side that said he was against forced vaccination and recognized they could cause harm and stood by it later during covid

Here’s a list of accomplishments lest people forget and diverted to Covid and the Gates, Fauci scams and racketeering  in which he himself did a lot to protect the people including promoting alternatives and antibodies to closing the borders to China while the left did nothing and called him racist for that and bringing up China lack of  transparency. The left woke and racist anti white distraction and hiring incompetence agenda was more important than American lives.Now that’s stupid.

Before the aborigines arrived, Australia was almost totally forested, mostly with dry sclerophyll which is a low rainfall habitat, and the amazing megafauna, huge wombats, ‘roos, flightless birds, lions etc, which have all gone due to the land clearances 50,000 years ago, and 80% of the forest has gone too, converted to desert. Now that there is no forest, there is no rainfall. If Musky reckons he could colonise Mars, he could do a dry run in reforesting Australia first.

Everybody has to acknowledge the aborigines as the original custodians of the land at official functions, school performances, sports matches, music concerts and so on, so information about their destruction of the country (fine custodial action) is suppressed as much as possible.

Now with introduced species like lantana the burns can be a different character – lantana burns very hot, compared to grass, and a lantana fire can melt the insulation on underground cables. Such heat obviously adversely affects the biome of the subsoil so that recovery is much longer for the undergrowth which is bad for the remaining fauna. This makes it all the more important to do controlled burns regularly, but in some states like Victoria and South Australia the greenies prevent it.

{edit} the gum trees don’t die in the fires, they spring back into life once the fire has passed. But the eucalyptus oil that vaporises from them in severe heat waves is highly imflammable, and fires can jump half a mile in one go as the oil vapour combusts. In these instances fire breaks are useless.

In Australia, the gum trees self combust and the entire forest will burn……it all then comes back stronger and healthier, in times past the Aboriginees used to burn the forest, deliberately, to clean out the undergowth and fallen trees. So they weren’t caught out.

I had an aunt whose part of the family were cattle ranchers in California, I guess this was in the 40s. I remember her telling us about it. In the summer they’d drive the cattle up into the high country to graze there. When the weather started getting cold they’d take the cattle back down to the lower elevations. When they left the mountains the last rancher out would throw out a match and catch the grass on fire. This was beneficial to the pasture and the grass would be good the next year. I don’t imagine that the potential for a big fire was there since the area was burnt every year. Surprised me when I first heard it though. Times have changed!

Have seen comments that a v dodgy, well known scam artist has got hold of Barron Trump……and is driving him….another Trump Crypto vehicle was issued back in the Summer $ WLFI…Word Liberty Financial

I have had a brief dive into that Crypto world and boy oh boy is it strange , a whole language/world has been created, in order to justify a new supposed reality…….but at the end of the day Charlie Mungers thoughts ring loud and clear…..it is a Ponzi…..

Is a serious WTF move. Tawdry and exploitative would sum it up perfectly. I don’t know what he’s doing there, bad move.

It’s real… not a model railroad!

He’s accepting that if one is a fake, then they’re all fake? Which is logical. DOGE didn’t ring the bells for him, but $TRUMP is clearly a step too far. At least, if he’s been in it for four years, he’ll have made some dosh out of it.

From livemint.com,

“However, meme coins such as the Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and now the presidential Trump Coin have flourished precisely because they are not securities. They position themselves as purely speculative assets without a promise of profit sharing or underlying utility. While the initial response might seem attractive, meme coins are volatile and often follow unpredictable trajectories. The meme coin token’s success could depend on fundamental factors and sustaining investors’ enthusiasm.”

Not securities. Speculative (I’m not sure that they meet the definition. What are you actually speculating on, or about?) assets (Asset? another definition problem from an accountants POV). No profit sharing. No utility. Shakes head.

Run for the hills! BTC has no clothes!

“What, exactly, do you have when you own a bitcoin? As far as I can see, you own the right to a particular sequence of zeros and ones which are stored multiple times in a disseminated network of computers. And in your personal crypto wallet, a hard drive or part of a hard drive which usually requires a password etc. etc. and so is secure. Or on a crypto exchange which makes it easier to buy and sell. So you own – what? What is a one or a zero? A distortion in a magnetic field. So you own the rights to a series of magnetic fluctuations. Whatever it is, it relies on a lot of sophisticated stuff to access and transfer (spend or acquire) them, which can be intercepted by hackers now, let alone when quantum computers arrive. Tulips seem a lot simpler.”

DOGE was issued as a joke, as satire against bitcoin etc. Yet it became a serious ‘investment’. $TRUMP really confirms how lunatic the whole thing is. Has there been any claim as to what utility it provides? I was trying to console myself that Trump just had to be better than Kamala or Brandon and their marxist agenda for another four years, but now I’m really doubting that.

How do they pay 55 % …easy it’s a Ponzi…..Putin is supposed to be the worlds biggest crook and maniac….. he only pays 15 % per annum on 20 yr debt !!!!

Well said ..it does indeed look very tacky/taudry…..

I just a got an email from someone I know, who has been promoting/trading Crypto’s for the last four years and is deep into all the bullshit around them……I just saw a comment from someone else talking about those mkts…..they have an entire mythical structure, full of buzzwords and bullshit…just incredible…anyway the guy I know, is telling all his contacts to get out of all crypto, as the Trump coin/meme move shows there is nothing behind them…..talk in that world is that Trump may have taken $ 500 million out already……

As you say…..Poor form, old boy , very poor form.
