I like what Rubio says here, but somehow I don’t think he’ll end up avoiding the pressure from Lindsay Graham and Tom Cotton to eventually avoid the fray. I don’t think Israel can win a sustained war with Iran by themselves, so that means nuke is their last resort. I don’t know. God bless all those stuck in the middle who had no say about this.

Brand Name:
No Brand
Product Description:
Uneviscerated Salted Smoked Split Herring
Company Announcement
P.
East Trading Corp. of Bronx, NY is recalling Salted Smoked Split Herring because the product was found to be over 5″ in length and uneviscerated, as such having potential to be contaminated with Clostridium botulinum, a bacterium which can cause life-threatening illness or death. Consumers are warned not to use the product even if it does not look or smell spoiled.
The sale of uneviscerated fish over 5″ in length may contain Clostridium botulinum spores as they are more likely to be concentrated in the viscera than any other portion of the fish. Botulism, a potentially fatal form of food poisoning, can cause the following symptoms: general weakness, dizziness, double-vision and trouble with speaking or swallowing. Difficulty in breathing, weakness of other muscles, abdominal distension and constipation may also be common symptoms. People experiencing these problems should seek immediate medical attention.

We do, our framers some who knew about monarchy’s gave us a constitution not as subjects or serfs but free people with equal rights. Actually it could be dangerous being a monarch with a life time position. That doesn’t mean equal in abilities as some try to pull with DEI , where we vote in representatives not monarchs, not inbreeding and nepotism or self appointed. That’s why the commies want illegals and IMO should be charged with election interference and committing unlawful acts to do it, ignoring the laws and Constitution. You can see the signs of such coming from over seas. Judges can’t make laws only interpret them. If they go rogue it will be taken up by a higher court.
Notice in the riots in LA, you’d be hard pressed to see any black people. There’s sitting back with the popcorn. Most all particulary the men are wise to them. With the millions of latinos in this country where many including me enjoy their culture and food plus similar or same religion. The ones in these riots are only a very small minority of them. Plus it’s organized and many are being paid coming from different areas or states and will be in all protests . One protest their paid hours were up at 5 pm so they packed up and left. It was almost funny. The green hats are part of the shills to try to help bail out the criminals and try to make them look like the victims. They have a system set before it even started.
Newscum wouldn’t even help the ice officers in California arresting criminals who were surrounded and attacked with bricks even if they tried to leave. It would of accelerated to possibly burning the building down. Even people trying to work in those areas couldn’t get through and business being looted. Cars being burned. Newscum did nothing as usual. So Trump had to send in help. Now he’s criticizing Trump and wants to sue him. What is the definition of a idiot? Imagine how he would act if a group of protesters went after him. He can’t even talk to people only at them with a pre recorded message maybe from his handlers. These lefties want to get on camera are just making bigger fools out of themselves.
There does need to be a system for certain jobs where workers can get visas but just them not the 20 million illegals from all over with no reason being here other than bringing us trouble. Used to be people would come here work awhile then bring the money home. They could work so many months out of the year and with the currency exchange live the rest of the year in that money in their own county. Some would save it and buy a house in their country for a few thousand US back when. Things started to change went they started giving out welfare to citizens with children and disabled. Now it’s more than welfare there getting so they’re giving them a reason to come for the wrong reasons.
Now the Mexico President is compliant and even made a threat to mobilize. What does mobilize mean? They’re waving the flag because they are claiming it’s their land and want to take it over. Newscum is just a useful idiot because it’s very likely this Mexican
president is in bed with the Cartel.

Tell that to the judges.
DeSantis and a California expat.
In Florida if the mob surrounds your car and can’t get through you can run them over. Plus they have stand your ground gun rights.
Nick Shirley who went into the mob to interview them in LA I posted only had one hostile for a short time but in NY he had many hostiles one was arrested another ran off and pursued and he needed a police escort. A group that aids and abets its own enemies.

BTW Newscum ‘s voting base will be pretty much deported, overdosed or in prison by the next election.

That’s just crazy! I hope the people flood the phones of these lawfare makers as well as assemble a protest and get in the media? Don’t they have any civil constitution rights or do they just make things up as they go along? The main ones who will be affected is the Brits not so much the criminal migrants they’re protecting. Looks like they know they’re Tyrants who want to protect themselves from the free citizens and planning on speeding up their tyrannical agenda of serfdom and destruction of their middle class.

Trump and China make new deals on rare earths.
But plans to build here as well.
Some Aussie company’s will benefit and MP I mentioned before.
Overall, Australia is on track to triple its output of mined rare earth oxides between 2025 and 2027.
Domestically, Executive Order 14241 directs federal agencies to streamline permitting and accelerate the development of U.S. mineral projects, while invoking the Defense Production Act (DPA) to prioritize and fund the mining and processing of critical minerals on public lands. Currently, there is no heavy rare earth separation capacity in the United States, though efforts to build this capability are underway. The Department of Defense (DOD), in its 2024 National Defense Industrial Strategy, set a target to establish a fully integrated mine-to-magnet rare earth supply chain capable of meeting all U.S. defense requirements by 2027. Since 2020, the DOD has invested over $439 million to strengthen domestic supply chains. This includes a $9.6 million award to MP Materials in 2020 under the DPA Title III program to develop a light rare earth separation facility at Mountain Pass, California, followed by a $35 million award in 2022 for a heavy rare earth processing facility. These would be the first fully integrated rare earth facilities in the United States, spanning mining and separation at Mountain Pass to refining and magnet manufacturing in Fort Worth, Texas. However, even once operational, MP Materials is projected to produce only 1,000 tons of neodymium-iron-boron magnets annually by the end of 2025—less than 1 percent of the 138,000 tons China produced in 2018.
More cars plus a steel plant
Today, Mercedes-Benz announced it will move production of another vehicle to the U.S. — the latest result of President Donald J. Trump’s relentless pursuit of American manufacturing dominance.
The automaker will produce the vehicle at its Tuscaloosa, Alabama, plant following signals earlier this year that the company will make additional investment in its U.S.-based operations.
Mercedes isn’t the only automaker onshoring production as President Trump incentivizes making things in America again:
- BMW is considering adding shifts to boost production at its South Carolina plant.
- Honda plans to shift production of the Civic from Japan to the U.S.
- Hyundai announced a $20 billion investment — including $5.8 billion for a new Louisiana steel plant to support its U.S.-based vehicle production — amid their pledge to “further localize production in the U.S.”
- Kia plans to produce hybrid vehicles at its affiliate Hyundai’s Georgia factory.
- Nissan is considering moving production from Mexico to the U.S.
- Stellantis announced it will reopen its Belvidere, Illinois, plant to build a new midsize pickup truck.
- Toyota announced it will boost hybrid vehicle production at its West Virginia plant.
Platinum
Platinum, what else?
- Investment Amount: $4 billion
- Focus: Primarily gas-powered vehicles, though some electric vehicle production is also involved
- Plant Locations: Michigan, Kansas, and Tennessee
- Model Shifts: The gas-powered Chevrolet Blazer and Chevrolet Equinox will be moved from Mexico to the Spring Hill, Tenn. plant and the Fairfax Assembly plant in Kansas, respectively.
- Expansion: The Orion Assembly plant in Orion Township, Michigan, will be retooled to produce gas-powered full-size SUVs and light-duty pickup trucks.
- Timing: Production shifts are slated to begin in 2027.
- Reasoning: The investment is partly driven by increased demand for gas-powered vehicles and a shift away from electric vehicle production.
Not a good time to be a Brit (Canada coming to you soon) …
… and this brand of authoritarian tyranny will be coming to the USA when they install Newscum in 2028.
Go local folks … tell the crazies to take a hike.
Have a nice day.

Thanks for the update. I do get the sense that silver is gonna blow here pretty soon too.
It will be interesting to see how the GDX/GLD ratio plays out.
The timing is tough going into a Fed meeting, but the GDX and large caps sure look strong today.
No doubt we need more money coming into this sector.

I use this site. I believe it’s spot gold.

I think you’re right about “breaking away soon.” It’s inexorable. How’s that for a 10 cent word! 🙂
The inverse head and shoulders pattern …
… on the yearlong GDX / GLD Ratio is testing this month’s breakout now …

… with the possibility of a springboard surge at some point in the not-too-distant future.
Everything is crossed as prices are still only scraping the bottom as the index funds continue to funnel funds primarily to tech stocks.
At some point inflation measures and commodity prices will escape the control of this rigged market – producing a generational Capital Rotation Event (CRE) to undervalued sectors.
With this being a Grand Supercycle Degree event it’s not surprising this is taking a very long time.
Hang in there folks.

Commercial shorts continue to sell silver aggressively in order to cap prices – but it should be noted that most of the sales recently have been Exchange For Physicals (EFP) in terms of net increasing open interest (OI).

So a lot of the OI increase should fall off at month end when those EFP’s are settled.
Physical deliveries for both gold and silver have moved over to London with this being an off month – so it will be instructive if deliveries revert back in Comex delivery months over the summer.
Supplies in London are challenged, so this should be expected. This would be bullish because Comex supply is also challenged with the rate of offtake at record levels.
Such an outcome would lead to speculation delivery problems could be encountered as year-end approaches.
Mornin all
Ipso – I see that in the futures price
Looks a lot better than the $32 on spot. Funny how $32 doesn’t even seem like much anymore – less than 1%
There’s a big discrepancy between the GDX and HUI today. There must be a HUI component that is dragging it down, I’m just not sure which one.
They are fighting us for every inch. If that dollar moves up at all, they hit us immediately. But I’m watching NEM, KGC, B & AEM this am, they take a hit and then come right back. My gut says we are going to break away from this pretty soon. Maybe it’s just hopium.
