I’ve heard several times today on FOX that Trump compares himself to Andrew Jackson.

If that is true and he really feels that way, then the study of Andrew Jackson is warranted:

“It is to be regretted that the rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government to their own selfish purposes.”

 “I have always been afraid of banks.”

Most importantly on bankers:

“Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time and I am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter, I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves.”

Looks like GLD got up to $115.76 – would equate to about $10

USD down again.

Options expiration??? Or just the usual scum party.

Does appear eeos is right that the crooks have their eye on silver, buying longs and shorts. I hate it when they buy longs because I suspect their only purpose is to dump them on light markets.

Gold looks better  – looks directionless – a little odd how light it is on both sides.

Gotta love Trump, walking in the parade, beautiful wife and family in tow. No fear.

That is some rap !!!!

Son of the savannah, your purple lips coruscate in the television raster glare
Antic smile of Curious George, sans Afro, a mere simian.
Itinerant Prince, vagrant of Chicago, Harvard, Columbia, Occidental, Honolulu & Jakarta
Installed in narcissism and foisting inquietude in Washington.
Why have you renounced your patrimony?
Why have you disavowed the loincloth of your Luo tribesmen?
And now you amble and strut in your thousand dollar zoot suit.
Alternating ivy league cant with your jive talkin’ rant.
Your minstrel Steppin’ fetchit act offends stereotype,
It is the choreography of deceit.
Who will you be today? messiah, teacher or preacher?
The rift valley in your soul is wide.
Almost as wide as the Nakuru Kenya Rift.
Renounce your moneylender puppeteers!
Embrace your African fatherland and your fugitive polygamous father.

Farewell speech: This is a textbook case of narcissistic injury, q.v. There would never have been a Trump, if there were not a malingering, mendacious Obama. The lumpen proletariat is restless and vengeful.

think of Goneril and Regan in the Shakespearean tragedy—take power. We lose. And Obama becomes an obedient servant of the corporate elite in exchange for the hollow trappings of authority.

When JFK got In soon after he lowered income taxes from 24% to 18% if I remember right. Counter intuitively gov’t tax income INCRESED, because everybody liked him, and the people with small businesses stopped under reporting income.

When people are unhappy with the gov’t, and don’t feel represented by the gov’t, they cheat on their taxes any way possible. Its human nature. If everybody likes Trump, and finally feel like the Gov’t is on their side, gov’t tax income may very well climb and surprise everyone.

A silent tax revolt already started many years ago. Plus all those houses in pre-foreclosure? Here in NY there are thousands of people not paying down mortgages at all, many over four years not paying. The mortgage includes the property taxes. The banks have been getting stuck paying the taxes.

I myself know several people living “rent free” and nothing is happening to them.

Obamas Farewell speech: This is a textbook case of narcissistic injury, q.v. There would never have been a Trump, if there were not a malingering, mendacious Obama. The lumpen proletariat is restless and vengeful.

The causality will be enshrined by history. If there had not been an Obama,
there never would have been a Trump. The last 8 years of aloof negligence,
vanity, malingering and dithering, have paved the road to chaos.

if the Donald achieves nothing, at least we can look at Melania….but listening to his speech, as Buygold says he has not backed off an inch…..it’s gonna be some ride.

I hope not.

I wonder what he whispered in her ear?

it’s a version of kissing ass

but only a little.  i have cherished a fantasy that when the donald shook hands with obozo after taking the oath, he would not let go, but rather say, “as chief magistrate of this republic, i’m placing you under arrest for (take your pick from a list).”

oh, well, it was a fun fantasy, and i don’t think we’ve seen the last act in this drama.

“a sage i know recently pointed out that when one finds ones self in deep shit, the best strategy is to shut the mouth.”

Well said. A lesson I’ve failed to learn at different times in my life unfortunately.

The Democraps (and some Republicrats) will never learn to do that, they are so arrogant and egotistical they actually think they are right about everything and have a winning strategy.

I guess if one wants to hang ones self, all you can do is give them more rope… 🙂

Just got off the phone with a golfing buddy in Palm Springs. Not only does the weather suck, Obama is going to snarl traffic. He can’t leave for Hawaii fast enough…

Donald kissing Michelle on the cheek

A bunch of righteous children, all butt hurt and crying

Seeing Trump as president or

that weasel Obama leaving

You know why???

Because I’m listening to his speech and he’s not backing down one bit from everything he campaigned on. He is repeating everything he promised on the campaign trail.

So different having a President that is not a politician!

Trump speaks, gold rallies, SM falls. I can live with that….

In with the bold and out with the old.

Drain that swamp Don!
