Oh peachy! Going on vacation with important issues to be decided. Well what could be more important than a politician’s holiday!

Thank you sir! I haven’t posted anything on Xi today but it sure looks like he is going into retirement or worse soon! Just hope the PLA stops him from doing anything rash to try and save his regime.

He has sure made a mess of things in China or perhaps it’s just because central planning doesn’t work.

Re EU and Tariffs …if the EU is not talking/backing down, despite being very wrong …then this mess is going to get way worse……for a start the EU is on holiday the whole of August….nothing serious can get down , until way into the Fall.

Good catch re Xi being sidelined….

Get the news first on the Tent !!!!

having a good day.

Dollar up for 8 of the last 9 days, about to challenge the 50 dma. At a crossroads?

NEM leading pm shares down. Still amazes me that the HUI is in the 420’s considering where the metals are, seems like we should already be in the 600’s

Whatever, it’s pm’s. When have they ever made sense?

Having trouble finding earnings dates for the large caps, anyone know when NEM, AEM, B, KGC and some others are coming out? Seems like they should be really good earnings.

EU to hit US aircraft, cars and food in latest retaliatory strike

BRUSSELS — The European Union is looking at targeting €72 billion in U.S. goods in a second round of trade countermeasures, including aircraft, cars and car parts, according to a list seen by POLITICO on Monday.

The bulk of those exports targeted are industrial goods, totaling €65.7 billion, while €6.4 billion in agricultural products would also be hit if EU countries back the new retaliatory tariffs. The list includes bourbon whiskey, despite intense lobbying from France and Ireland to shield the drinks sector from U.S. President Donald Trump’s reprisals.

The biggest line item in the 200-page list is aircraft and aircraft parts, with tariffs set to target almost €11 billion of U.S. exports — potentially dealing a heavy blow to plane maker Boeing.

Friedrich Merz is the Most Incompetent Chancellor Germany Has Ever Seen

Not having an impact on pm’s or much of anything so far.

Silver looks like it wants to drift lower maybe, but the dollar also looks like it wants to move lower, so that might hold us up. Key word: might

Shares look decent, NEM a little weak, but it has done well during this run.

Funny how we get some really good breakout days in silver and then everything just stops.

SLV has a gap around 34 that probably needs to be filled. That will take silver back to the $37.50 level or so. We went through $37 like a knife through butter. I would have thought there’d be a fight. Maybe it’s coming.

As I’ve been typing, silver has inched up a bit while gold has inched down. I type slowly. 🙂

The numbers in the latest Statistical Review of World Energy prove the energy transition is fiction. The numbers don’t lie. Climate journalists? That’s another matter.

On July 7, a pair of writers at Heatmap, an online outlet that claims to be covering “the biggest story of our time: climate change,” published an article about land-use conflicts and alt-energy. The article said that about one-fifth of all the counties in the US have restricted “renewables development according to exclusive data” gathered by Heatmap Pro, the outlet’s subscription-only service.

That claim caught my eye because over the past 15 years, I’ve documented more than 1,000 rejections or restrictions of wind, solar, and batteries around the world. The count for the US alone is 829. (For more, see the Renewable Rejection Database.) These land-use conflicts, combined with the lack of new high-voltage transmission capacity, are the binding constraint on the growth of renewable energy. Further, this is not a new story. Land-use conflicts over alt-energy have been raging for nearly two decades.

Despite these facts, the Heatmap reporters seemed shocked to find such stout resistance across rural America. They claimed their “exclusive” findings were newsworthy and that the burgeoning number of local restrictions were “slowing the energy transition.”

Four days later, a writer at Canary Media, an outlet that was created by the Rocky Mountain Institute, focuses on climate change, and gets funding from two giant dark-money NGOs — the Climate Imperative Foundation and the Energy Foundation — declared that despite setbacks in the US, “the global energy transition goes on.”

The article went on to claim the world is continuing “to move quickly toward cleaner sources” and that “with or without the US, the global energy transition is happening.”

Except it isn’t.

There is no energy transition. Just don’t expect the media to tell you the truth about it.

Of course, I could provide dozens, or even hundreds, of other examples of climate-focused journalists, academics from elite universities (hello, Princeton!), and policymakers making risible claims about our energy future and how the world will soon be fueled by “clean” sources like wind, solar, and batteries, with some nuclear and maybe a bit of hydropower, thrown in for good measure. As I explained two years ago in “The Anti-Industry Industry,” the “energy transition” narrative is relentlessly promoted by the NGO-corporate-industrial-climate-media complex, a multi-billion-dollar-per-year business that includes dozens of NGOs and media outlets that promote anti-hydrocarbon agendas. The World Economic Forum even maintains an “Energy Transition Index.”

But the latest edition of the Energy Institute’s Statistical Review of World Energy shows that the world runs on hydrocarbons. The new edition, released late last month, includes a much-needed change in the review’s methodology. That change, which I’ll discuss below, shows that alt-energy’s contribution to the global energy mix is far smaller than previously claimed.

I’ve spent the past few days crunching the numbers. Here are eight charts that show the energy transition is fiction.

**** lindsey graham and the rhinoceros he rode in on !!

That’s a good one.

“They’re even in the government now.”

I wasn’t expecting that.

Chuckle … snort

and implies that these people were killed because of them. You can’t have a secret patent. It would defeat the object of the patent system. Patents fulfil several functions, one of which is granting ownership of an idea for commercial purposes, another is letting everyone know that they can stop trying to achieve something because it has already been done – and this is how it works. If the patent is for cold fusion, for example, it’ll tell you how to make electricity in a particular way. If you find a different way to get cold fusion to work, you can get your own patent.

Best still, if it’s been patented you can find the patent and build your own cold fusion machine! You can use a patent for personal use.

I just discovered that the movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest had its 50 th anniversary. It was fictional and there was no nurse ratchet running the places. It had such profound negative effects on mental hospitals they lost funding and started closing down. Now their in the streets, being introduced to drugs if not already on them all over the place and no where to go. . They’re even in the government now.

That movie had a lot to do with it.

I don’t hate anybody.

I judge people based on their actions.

Thanks

If Linsey Graham is for it I’m against it!

How bout some more peace overtures before we blow up the planet!

I suspect this because on Friday there was a lot of volume, which can be seen below.

IMHO, makes absolutely no difference. The government will continue their games and sell endless amounts of paper to keep the charade going and the ponzi scheme will be endless……..Just don’t know what( if anything) will end this perpetual scam….

Do the patents still exist? Are they being made available? I dunno.

This kind of info is in the very well might be, would be no surprise category.

But patents are public knowledge. If the patents really exist, no point in killing anyone.

Whoever made up that anti Trump video had to be an extreme leftist. Can you give me a name? I assume you must hate Trump also.

Besides all that, somebody had to do something about the trade and budget deficits that all the prior presidents totally ignored since 1970, 55 years of falling living standards and 55 years of growing deficits, and 55 years of growing imports killing American incomes so bad that the wives had to start working after 1970, 55 years ago.

The USA has hit bottom, because having two wives is illegal, and hopefully things will get better, and sure things could get very bad during this transition, but things would get worse anyway without Trump.
