A Florida get-together is probably best as it accommodates most of you and there’s a good chance that Farmboy could make his way down there. As for me, I’ll sit this one out.
ipso facto @ 20:02 re The Trump of today
In the beginning of his campaign I LOVED him. But after a while before the election, he started saying things that did not fit and made me suspicious and very disappointed. Now I’m certain of my suspicions.
A certain “group” of people probably encouraged him to run, because they knew his rhetoric, that the silent majority would love it, and “he-they” would get elected.
Its a break-away rebel group of the original PTB, going against a couple of parts “the original reversal” that was started out of necessity after three things, the dot com bust, 9/11/01 and the meltdown in 2008.
Lotta truth here!
One More Time…

Fellas — After what happened today, yesterday, last week — and after what has been taking place over the last month, the last year, and over the last six years — I think that it has become time (actually, it’s long overdue) that we, as a community of precious metals market followers, skeptics of the system as it exists, and true believers in the inherent value of tangible assets, collectively admit that we have finally come to the realization that we are battered wives, and for years have been suffering from battered wives syndrome.
Our husband (corrupt system) beats us, then allows us to clean ourselves up and make temporary improvements, then beats us down again, allowing another brief reprieve. He then promises us it will never happen again and actually lets us believe that with slight-to-moderate improvements in our relationship that maybe things have actually gotten better. Then, just at the moment we least expect it, he brutally beats us down again, leaving us to wonder how this happened, why this happened, and could it be worse next time? Of course, we are helped through the healing process by our husband, propped back up mentally and physically to the point of actual belief that the worst is over, and then the son-of-a-bitch beats us down all over again.
It’s never going to end. Our syndrome will always give us the false hope that we’ve survived the last, worst abuse we will experience, only to allow more severe and frequent beatings to occur in the near- and long-term future. We all have it — this syndrome — we are all struggling with it, and we all must admit it. The only way this is going to end is if we kill this son-of-a-bitch. Until our husband (the corrupted metals markets) is whacked, our abuse will continue, get worse, and even end some of us. It’s either him or us, and it can’t be us. This son-of-a-bitch has to go.

To plagiarize the ‘good’ Dr. V …maybe a Viva 2000 camping celebration in decent camping weather somewhere around the NE corner of GA or the Western corners of SC or NC ?…or closer to home in FL ? Alexander Springs SP off FL State Road 40 is close to three of us , and about a half day from the fourth FL resident.
Even if we do not quite get to $2000 gold ?
Okay , I will trim it back to a Viva 1300 celebration LOL !
It would indeed be nice to have a campfire chat about the state of our nation , the world , and how REAL money fits into the picture . For those worried about kitchen duties , I do pretty well with my dutch oven and ribs or a chicken over a campfire.

The Trump of today is certainly not the man we thought he was a few months ago. Whether or not he’s a puppet of the Deep State I don’t know but it sure looks like he’s out of his depth. Wouldn’t surprise me a bit if he’s gone in a few months … although if he’s not it looks like the Deep State is getting pretty much everything they want anyways.
Cheers
Obama care
Guess Rand Paul gonna get a pass because he won’t vote because he’s mad his version didn’t pass.
Obama care by Lynn
Recall when we fought original passage of ObamaCare? Opponents insisted it had such far reaching tentacles it would grow government and weave its way through our system so deeply it would be nearly impossible to remove by a future Congress.
We were right in that prediction.
When ObamaCare launched, one of the biggest complaints was that the entire laundry list of liberals dreams was thrown in. We all said it.
Now the GOP acts like it was just an insurance bill as they stumble around trying to keep and tweak it
A great deal of ObamaCare legislation had nothing at all to do with healthcare but no one including the Freedom Caucus says that today.
Over 10, 000 new IRS employees were hired to implement it. Not one is fired by any repeal bill proposed.
Approximately 150 new agencies were started and completely staffed by the ObamaCare bill. Office space leased or purchased, computers, phones, light bills, water coolers, wages and salaries, increased federal contracts for maintenance, communications etc and not one bit to be stopped or removed by repeal. Why? Because Team Obama was evil, but brilliant. After creating all the growth under ObamaCare, the control and budgets of all this expansion of powers was transfered to other existing departments such as the Dept of Energy, Education, IRS, Homeland Security, Veteran’s Administration and many others.
No repeal touches any of it because it was all moved.
Congress and pundits won’t tell you that, huh?
For instance, the entire college student loan program was shifted to federal control under the guise of ObamaCare. Repeal doesn’t touch that. An enormous federal database linking census data, all of our personal info such as court records, health, finance, employment, marriage and family, education and much more was created under ObamaCare, So feds could reach the smallest detail of each of our lives. This was an unconstitutional growth of reach and power against our freedoms.
No House or Senate member will even mention that. They want to keep all of it. That is why they ignore it all hoping we forget what we all spoke of eight years ago.
I could go on, but the point is made. Repeal only affects insurance policies and some healthcare issues. The ObamaCare legislation went very far beyond that and still, no one cares.
The entire House and Senate is guilty of blatant omission because they are well aware of but silent about these inroads on our freedoms and expansion of federal powers.
Now their fans look the other way pretending the Freedom Caucus or conservative showboats are honest about shoving the ObamaCare oak tree back into the freedom acorn.
Now why are the GOP RINOs and conservatives conveniently ignoring the whole truth?
Because Trump has been keeping promises. And he promised to drain the swamp, expose corruption and prosecute the guilty. This is something neither party wants. Donors want ObamaCare kept and tweaked so Congress hears them, not us.
Why do you think hundreds of GOP congressmen ALL failed to have a decent repeal plan ready? Why did they fully fund it every time Obama asked? Why did they ignore the bribes and crimes used to pass it in the first place? Why do the conservatives say they oppose Ryan being a RINO then turn right around and unanimously vote to keep him in charge?
Yes, ObamaCare was the largest government expansion, power grab and intrusion on freedoms in history.
Unconstitutional by process and reach.
And liberals, RINOs, conservatives and socialists are united in trying to help us forget it while they pretend it was just an insurance bill. And they don’t even want to repeal THAT part, either.
Yes, they are all in on it and Trump is alone in the swamp.
All of Congress and their party media is misleading us.
The worst part is America knows midterms are coming, but voters have no intention of doing our part to drain the swamp. All but a tiny handfull of these congressmen will be re-elected. The swamp is completely safe and they know it.
ObamaCare laws, growth and powergrabs are here to stay until voters dump these unconstitutional parties.
As for the insurance segment of the mess….they are going to eventually try to sell us on Keep & Tweak.
Because no one is even talking about an honest repeal.
Ipso, Farmboy
Ipso – concur, no reason for Trump to stir up that hornet’s nest, OR to go to the UN and call LIL KIM “Rocket Man”. He’s acting as unpresidential as he possibly can after running on things that really mattered. Don’t get me wrong, these NFL,NBA and MLB shits kneeling for the anthem are just shits.
That being said, IMHO we have been played, Trump won’t be around much longer. The globalist choice Pence will replace him and everything will go back to globalism. I don’t think Trump ever intended to drain the swamp, I’m guessing he was chosen to take the pulse of the people. Why would he support swamp creature Luther Strange? Roy Moore will hopefully win. I expect a Trump resignation in just a couple more months…
Sorry to be hopeless, but he is sacrificing himself either as a nutball or to start a race war.
Farmboy – after Maya’s horrifying comments about my happiness, I am hurt, deeply hurt…please join him in the Hawaiian coffee club… 🙂 🙂 🙂
If you happen to be right about a “good week”, I will tell Maya, I’m happy, happy, happy! 🙂

Foolish of Trump to get involved in this NFL Kneeling Brouhaha. Nothing for him to gain. A distraction from the important stuff. JMO

Farmboy….Re: Missler
Yes, I find it fascinating how he ties things together. My biggest problem is finding the time to devote to it. I made it through half of hour 2 so far and then have been sidetracked with responsibilities, but I hope to get back to it as I can and at least finish hour 2 today. For anyone who is interested in gaining much deeper understanding of how the Bible ties so perfectly with history of the past, the present, and the future, please watch the first hour session and become fascinated as you too begin to realize the magic of this greatest of books as Dr Chuck Missler discloses it. It’s your choice but undoubtedly the most important one of your life.
Morning Buygold ! Guess You Are Not Sharing Your Coffee This Morning Huh?
🙂
Well, I see we are both still here. Not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing. Guess the world will have to put up with us two GrumpyPa’s for at least another day. Kinda feel sorry for em dont you? LoL
Floridagold, those Gators just wont give it up. You must have added a little gunpowder to their feed. Not sure I want to bring our Dawgs to the Swamp this year. 🙂
Ororeef, Sorry to hear of your ‘trials and tribulations’. You too darn stubborn to quit, or give up, (part of the Goldbug Curse I reckon)
Thoughts and prayers for you and the family. Tough as an old buzzard you are. Hang in and Best, Farmboy
SNG, If you made it through Hour One of Missler, I think you are really going to enjoy the remaining 23 hours. I think I can safely say that at the end of your journey, you will never look at life, the bible, or the world in the same way again. Least, that has been my experience. Trust me, Missler is just getting warmed up in the first hour, it gets much better, ties it all together as he goes along.
Best to all, and Buygold, Cheer UP, I think the general markets are running on fumes and four bald tires. Fact is, Im expecting a good move up in the PM’s this week. Course, my improved outlook could be that I am looking forward to Maya’s new coffee selection. 🙂
Maya
I’m never happy? What??
Now I’m really pissed! 🙂
Couldent Post yesterday ..for some security reason ?
Anyways The poor Floridians that got “fixed Notices” from the County a day after the hurricane hit ..there is a fix for that….Hog tie him to a stake near the water Line and wait for an Alligator to solve your problem .An Act of God it surely is…feasable..
I would not hesitate to do such if I had that chance . Its been a tough week for everybody here ..I had a minor operation last week ..a sabacious infected cyst dug out of my back…Then the next day My car had a bad wheel Bearing ..Git that fixed just in time to come down with A Gout attack for 5 days in my right foot ,that started to subside when the other foot started swelling in sympathy and left me un able to walk…That really sucks ! My wife is trying to help but she still recovering from a shoulder replacement and cant lift anything even while she struggles with a roller walker to help her balance.My daughter is starting to fix her Flooded house in Houston ..first floor everything had to torn out of first floor..They stopped telling us any more about the flooding and our Florida relatives ..I figured they thought
we had enough to deal with and will probably fill me in as I recover …I guess NO NEWS is good NEWS from Florida ..
My son will probably come over tomorrow to take me shopping.I could probably drive but braking is painfull so I guess Ill accept his offer to take me .
Count your blessings..
Buygold @ 16:38
…woke up happy?! You’re NEVER happy! And that list of potential disasters is reminiscent of the seven signs of the apocalypse. We will see if we are still here…. in a few months.
Moggy- Decaf? I’m sorry… that’s not coffee. That’s swamp water. Decaf? What’s the point of drinking it? 🙂
I’m in-and-out for connectivity here over the course of a week. Lots of running in the boonies for elder care missions disrupts my posting ability. Today visited the Cape Kumukahi Light at the easternmost tip of Hawaii Island (and State, for that matter)
Maya
Good to see you posting, I was getting concerned when you hadn’t shown up when I finally got back on line.
As to your: “Molokai coffee is available again, and it’s better than the Kauai coffee I sent last time.” That ought to make Farmboy sit up and notice, lol. You wouldn’t by any chance have that in decaf, would you?
