Only 19 yrs old going on 60. He wears such a perpetually stern expression; it’s no wonder he feels so at odds with the world.” “He carries such a deep, world-weary frustration for someone who is barely out of high school.”

 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Vice President JD Vance on the people that are rallying against the deal with Iran:
“They’re proposing an endless conflict. They want this to go on until every bomb has been dropped or until every Iranian is dead.
That is not what Trump wants.”

Oooooh, looks like the zionists aren’t happy!
They regard Netanyahu as weak, without influence, giving up on a non-nuclear Iran, regime change (in Iran) must be achieved, using “creative means” (pure doublespeak, creation means destruction), and they have signalled that they won’t be bound by any arrangements. Who are the Ayatollahs now?
Maybe Trump will finally realise that peace deals aren’t like real estate deals simply because they are both about who controls territory. National, tribal, psychology is the driver. Just as tribal psychology is driving the AfD to the top, and attacks on migrants in the UK. The tribal psychology of the mullahs is to spread their philosophy worldwide. Our weakness is that we are letting them, not by force but by migration.
Anybody hear about this.
A terrorist attack was planned but thwarted by secrete service at the freedom event involving drones. At first I thought he was being funny but he wasn’t. They planned to lure attendees to a pre staged sniper team.
Decent day for the shares
Given the pathetic performance of the metals and the QQQ’s getting pounded.
Can’t help but wonder though if the shorts have been loading the boat in the shares for tomorrow’s Fed announcement. Saying come on in, the water’s fine…🤔
Yep, lost a third of my gains in the last 5 minutes. Pricks.
People are figuring things out

In Germany the current govt coalition is CDU (black) and SPD (red). They don’t have much in common, but they typically join for a “grand coalition” when an election in inconclusive.
They have both fallen so low that the could not form another govt if an election were held today. They would need a Black, Red and Green coalition, which makes no sense because the Green party has zero common ground with the CDU/CSU (black).
But they would do (black, red, green) it to keep the AfD out of power, because the AfD is the only party that wants mass deportations.
However now, even the possible black, red, green coalition wouldn’t have a majority.
The AfD is becoming so large in the polls that it is becoming impossible for the other German parties to form any coherent coalition.
Gold not doing much but HUI at HOD as the close nears
Nice change of pace.
crude dropping …
…faster than Bill Clinton’s boxers in an Arkansas trailer park.
Only thing that matters
…on the short term is that there’s a Fed meet tomorrow ( not 100%sure), so the scum have programmed the algos to sit on the metals no matter what…….
Nice Hit

Gold Short Squeeze?
The Kobeissi Letter
@KobeissiLetter
Is gold setting up for a short squeeze amid the Iran deal?
Gold funds posted -$2.3 billion in outflows last week, marking the 4th consecutive weekly outflow.
This brings the 4-week average of outflows to -$2.0 billion, the 2nd-largest on record.
This is only below the -$3.5 billion 4-week average record seen in February.
Meanwhile, the largest US gold-backed ETF,
$GLD
, has seen -$2.2 billion in outflows so far this month, on track for its 4th consecutive monthly withdrawal.
Year-to-date,
$GLD
has seen -$8.1 billion in outflows, on track for the first annual withdrawal since 2023.
Conditions are ripe for a short squeeze.

JUST IN: IRANIAN FM ARAGHCHI:
“The end of the war will not be complete without the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the territories they occupied in Lebanon.
Any military attack by Israel on Lebanon and the continued occupation of Lebanese territories from now on, in our opinion, is a violation of the MoU.”
If Trump can make a deal with the Iranians
then he sure should be able to make a deal between the Russians and Ukrainians!
Ah yes, there it is

Oil down to $77
Amazing. It seems to believe peace might hold I guess.
SM flat. Dollar flat, rates down over 3 bips. Bitcoin flat – Saylor bought another $100M.
Silver has strengthened all morning and got above $71. Gold steadily moving up.
Looks like a decent open at this point, but we get a lot of decent opens, not so many decent closes. I suspect that unless the dollar really gets moving down with rates, and the SM starts moving up, we’ll be sold either at the open or all day long like yesterday.
DRB mentioned the miners as a threat to the fiat bankers. Makes sense. Their programs are set to sell daily to keep any momentum from gathering. Hard to believe some of us have dealt with this for 25 + years. Maybe it will be worth it for our kids. 🙂
This is what Eko movement is doing.
Blaming the citizens and Musk instead of the criminal migrant murders and inaction of the government fueling the violence where the citizens are the victims which they didn’t mention or closing borders. What their up to. They don’t give a option to reply for obvious reasons. Can’t help but be suspicious that the government is commiting a genocide using migrants instead making it easy for them so they aren’t accused of a crime themselves.
Rioters set homes alight in Belfast, forcing families to flee – just hours after Elon Musk shared a protest list with 240 million followers.
This is the second time in a matter of days that Musk has used X to fuel far-right violence in the UK. Every time, the government condemns it. Every time, nothing happens.
The UK has the power to ban X entirely. It’s time to use it.
