Good for your crew. There are those amongst the “team” that find themselves feeling “froggy” and end up in torpedo tubes where they rightfully belong.

Thank you!

Time to sharpen the “AX”.

William Bennett’s Interesting Take on Donald Trump

No matter who you’re voting for, this is an interesting article.

Former U. S. Secretary of Education , William J. Bennett’s frank candid and shocking observations of Donald Trump’s impact on the behavior of the entrenched Washington D.C. bureaucrats in both parties — and the risk The Donald faces in so doing.

William J. Bennett, Host of Bill Bennett’s Morning in America Show, is one of America’s most important, influential, and respected voices on cultural, political, and education issues.
He has one of the strongest Christian world views of any writer in modern times.

What I See Happening In a Trump Presidency — By Bill Bennett

They will kill him before they let him be president. It could be a Republican or a Democrat that instigates the shutting up of Trump.

Don’t be surprised if Trump has an accident. Some people are getting very nervous: Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett, Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton and Jon Corzine, to name just a few.

It’s about the unholy dynamics between big government, big business, and big media. They all benefit by the billions of dollars from this partnership, and it’s in all of their interests to protect one another. It’s one for all and all for one.

It’s a heck of a filthy relationship that makes everyone filthy rich, everyone except the American people. We get ripped off. We’re the patsies. But for once, the powerful socialist cabal and the corrupt crony capitalists are scared. The over-the-top reaction to Trump by politicians of both parties, the media, and the biggest corporations of America has been so swift and insanely angry that it suggests they are all threatened and frightened.

Donald Trump can self-fund. No matter how much they say to the contrary, the media, business, and political elite understand that Trump is no joke. He could actually win and upset their nice cozy apple cart.
It’s no coincidence that everyone has gotten together to destroy The Donald. It’s because most of the other politicians are part of the a good old boys club. They talk big, but they won’t change a thing. They are all beholden to big-money donors. They are all owned by lobbyists, unions, lawyers, gigantic environmental organizations, and multinational corporations – like Big Pharmacy or Big Oil. Or they are owned lock, stock, and barrel by foreigners like George Soros owns Obama or foreign governments own Hillary and their Clinton Foundation donations.

These run-of-the-mill establishment politicians are all puppets owned by big money. But there’s one man who isn’t beholden to anyone There’s one man who doesn’t need foreigners, or foreign governments, or George Soros, or the United Auto Workers, or the teacher’s union, or the Service Employees International Union, or the Bar Association to fund his campaign.

Billionaire tycoon and maverick Donald Trump doesn’t need anyone’s help. That means he doesn’t care what the media says. He doesn’t care what the corporate elites think. That makes him very dangerous to the entrenched interests. That makes Trump a huge threat to those people. Trump can ruin everything for the bribed politicians and their spoiled slave masters.

Don’t you ever wonder why the GOP has never tried to impeach Obama? Don’t you wonder why John Boehner and Mitch McConnell talk a big game, but never actually try to stop Obama? Don’t you wonder why Congress holds the purse strings, yet has never tried to de-fund Obamacare or Obama’s clearly illegal executive action on amnesty for illegal aliens? Bizarre, right? It defies logic, right?

First, I’d guess many key Republicans are being bribed. Secondly, I believe many key Republicans are being blackmailed. Whether they are having affairs, or secretly gay, or stealing taxpayer money, the National Security Agency knows everything.

Ask former House Speaker Dennis Hastert about that. The government even knew he was withdrawing large sums of his own money from his own bank account. The NSA, the SEC, the IRS, and all the other three-letter government agencies are watching every Republican political leader. They surveil everything. Thirdly, many Republicans are petrified of being called racists, so they are scared to ever criticize Obama or call out his crimes, let alone demand his impeachment. Fourth , why rock the boat? After defeat or retirement, if you’re a good old boy, you’ve got a $5 million-per-year lobbying job waiting. The big-money interests have the system gamed. Win or lose, they win.

But Trump doesn’t play by any of these rules. Trump breaks up this nice, cozy relationship between big government, big media, and big business. All the rules are out the window if Trump wins the Presidency. The other politicians will protect Obama and his aides but not Trump. Remember: Trump is the guy who publicly questioned Obama’s birth certificate. He questioned Obama’s college records and how a mediocre student got into an Ivy League university. Now, he’s doing something no Republican has the chutzpah to do. He’s questioning our relationship with Mexico; he’s questioning why the border is wide open; he’s questioning why no wall has been built across the border; he’s questioning if allowing millions of illegal aliens into America is in our best interests; he’s questioning why so many illegal aliens commit violent crimes, yet are not deported; and he’s questioning why our trade deals with Mexico, Russia and China are so bad.

Trump has the audacity to ask out loud why American workers always get the short end of the stick. Good question! I’m certain Trump will question what happened to the almost billion dollars given in a rigged no-bid contract to college friends of Michelle Obama at foreign companies to build the defective Obamacare website. By the way, that tab is now up to $5 billion. Trump will ask if Obamacare’s architects can be charged with fraud for selling it by lying. Trump will investigate Obama’s widespread IRS conspiracy, not to mention Obama’s college records. Trump will prosecute Clinton and Obama for fraud committed to cover up Benghazi before the election. How about the fraud committed by employees of the Labor Department when they made up dramatic job numbers in the last jobs report before the 2012 election?

Obama, the multinational corporations and the media need to stop Trump. They recognize this could get out of control. If left unchecked, telling the raw truth and asking questions everyone else is afraid to ask, Trump could wake a sleeping giant. Trump’s election would be a nightmare. Obama has committed many crimes. No one else but Trump would dare to prosecute. He will not hesitate. Once Trump gets in and gets a look at the cooked books and Obama’s records, the game is over. The jig is up. The goose is cooked. Holder could wind up in prison. Jarrett could wind up in prison. Obama bundler Corzine could wind up in prison for losing $1.5 billion of customer money. Clinton could wind up in jail for deleting 32,000 emails or for accepting bribes from foreign governments while Secretary of State, or for misplacing $6 billion as the head of the State Department, or for lying about Benghazi. The entire upper level management of the IRS could wind up in prison.

Obamacare will be de-funded and dismantled. Obama himself could wind up ruined, his legacy in tatters. Trump will investigate. Trump will prosecute. Trump will go after everyone involved. That’s why the dogs of hell have been unleashed on Donald Trump.

Yes, it’s become open season on Donald Trump. The left and the right are determined to attack his policies, harm his businesses, and, if possible, even keep him out of the coming debates. But they can’t silence him. And they sure can’t intimidate him. The more they try, the more the public will realize that he’s the one telling the truth.

I will add one thing to this. No matter what you think of Trump, remember if it wasn’t for Trump none of the truth that you see above would ever have a chance of being righted. It all comes down to the almighty dollar. There are some good sounding candidate’s in the Republican party but outside of Trump they are all politicians and politicians are why we are in the mess we are in now. It isn’t a Republican verses Democrat thing anymore it’s the people verses the establishment now. I don’t know what Trump will do if he is elected president but I’ll take my chances with somebody who is not beholding to the establishment.
I’ll get off my soap box now.

25 years ago, 1991, he could see what was happening to this country.

Note:
I knew back in 1975-80, 40 years ago what was unfolding. The loss of most manufacturing industries. Manufacturing is the BIRTH of wealth. Everything else, like service of products, retail of products, civil service tax absorber jobs etc are all OVERHEAD.

They produce and contribute NOTHING of use. For example. First you produce an aircraft like Leroy Grumman and his friend in a garage. (or Ford or Edison etc) You sell it and make a profit, and with the profits you can hire a secretary, a salesman and a sweeper.

In other words.

“A shop can exist without an office and a showroom.” (they are a luxury)
“But an office and showroom can NOT exist without a shop”. (wealth, bacon)

Mr. Copper, 1989.

We all paid taxes to our gov’t, and the gov’t gave away our industries to share wealth with other greedy needy nations, and also help big global businesses make big profits, until it all FINALLY ended in 2008.

They had our economy on artificial life support for decades, by increasing gov’t employees, more unneeded work for gov’t vendors.
(roads space and defense solar panels, environment law enforcement and increasing credit limits)

P.S. Then our Gov’t also looked away from CORRUPTION for decades because it generated revenue. They KNEW Bernie Madoff was corrupt, but kept their mouth shut. Ever since that day corruption in all various forms is getting caught, another reversal re CORRUPTION. Look around your town village state etc. Many getting caught.

“If YOU are doing something YOU should not be doing you had better STOP before you get caught.”

Mr Copper Summer ’08

If we can get through tomorrows’ jobs report relatively unscathed maybe we are witnessing a breakout?

Dow closed 0.8 off the hi and S&P was 0.29 off the Hi…….call NYSE…SEC…Congress…..

Standard issue selling in all PM’s going into close and tdy the Dollar was sold…no doubt that will get corrected on the No’s in the Am….when no matter what they are…SM and dollar will go Bid and AU will be hit hard……but with this action, maybe buyers will be waiting for cheap metal.

After being down for years this rally is like water to a man dying in the desert. Heals your mind along with the pocket book.

PM shares approaching HOD. C’mon momo algos!

Pretty interesting segments.

I still think there’s more danger being out of this market than in it.

Totally agree…..tomorrows numbers are their next chance…….but I’d like some more leadership from the shares.

As of now all those waiting for the Dip are getting screwed.

Cheers
