What if Trump has a two-fold plan in Iran? What if in addition to assisting Israel with their regional goals, he thought by taking out Iran he was also eliminating or severely reducing their ability to produce oil on the world stage? Iran for all intents and purposes is a proxy for Russia and China, but also a major supplier for China. What if Trump’s plan is make the U.S. the world’s dominant energy supplier next to Russia? With the move in Venezuela and now Iran he is eliminating large sources for China. Iran damaging helium production plays into our hands because Wyoming has tons of it and is picking up the slack. Same with LNG, Qatar losing 17% of production also conveniently works to our advantage as we are flush with LNG that Europe needs.

China has a big advantage with rare earths and we will need to do a deal with them eventually, maybe oil becomes a carrot.

I’ve also heard speculation that oil could be used to help pay down debt to those who hold our bonds. Pretty sure Europe holds a couple trillion in US debt.

Obviously, this doesn’t happen overnight and we need to double or triple our oil and refining capacity. Just a thought.

I would much prefer to believe this is part of a strategy rather than being dragged into war by Netanyahu, because as long as he is in power, it will never end.

The media and their support for Muslims.

It’s my take that the one world government Globalists also have a one world religion in mind, led by the Pope as a combination of Catholicism and Islam, aka Chrislam. The Pope has already recognized Islam as a valid religion and in fact has had Imam’s praying in the Vatican. There’s also a famous picture of Francis kissing the Koran.

King Charles certainly has given the theory credibility with his Muslim prayer on Ramadan and his silence on Easter.

Course, another reason Europe has allowed themselves to be overrun. Estimates are that Muslims will outnumber Natives in Europe by 2030.

I know l, I know a couple of Iranian doctors. One saved my daughter life.

I understand what your trying to say. There’s someone else. Larry Ellison. But I’m not going to get into it. You just would not believe all the negative things the TDS crowd are coming up with. Frankly I’m glad he’s not going through another election again. I don’t know if it will even stop after he’s gone. No matter what happens including Isreal it will be his fault. The one about the ball room is a bit interesting.. why it’s not going through traditional methods but private money.. the alleged underground high tec extension and network.  It’s never ending.

The Mad Mullahs running Iran are very different to the Persian people, they are an extreme branch of islam, who ‘stole’ Iran in 1979, when the Shah was kicked out…..the Persians have grown to hate them with a vengeance…..

Why the MSM effectively support them is one of lifes great mysteries, but it seems their hatred of Trump, means they will effectively support pure evil.

I have never defended anything Israel has done, nor did I say or even imply that Israel’s leaders are not psychopaths, nor that they should have nuclear weapons. I even wrote at 20:17 “Maybe they are next.”
I knew better than to try to discuss certain points with you without you flooding the forum with so many unrelated statements that it is impossible to respond to or even digest them all.
I will say it generally may not be a good idea to have low IQ people in positions of power, although IQ is hard to define and measure and having common sense is undoubtably more important than IQ.

Speaking of the term low IQ. Some of the people Trump called low IQ was in context they didn’t belong in politics but in a job they couldn’t hurt anybody.

Actually I can’t verify that only heard it but he uses the term. It may have got mixed up with Tucker over Iran.

I won’t defend a psychopath from not having a nuclear weapon but with one psychopath to another in that case why does Israel have them?

While Israel has never officially confirmed possessing nuclear weapons, maintaining a policy of “nuclear ambiguity,” it is widely acknowledged by intelligence agencies and experts to be a nuclear power. Its acquisition of these weapons is often characterized as “illegal” or “covert” because it relied on secret foreign assistance, espionage, and evading international oversight.

Israel is one of only a few countries that has never signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which technically means it is not in violation of that specific international treaty. However, its methods of acquiring materials and technology frequently bypassed the laws of other nations. 

Key Methods of Acquisition

• Secret Deal with France (1950s): In 1957, France secretly agreed to provide Israel with a research reactor and technical expertise for the Dimona facility in the Negev Desert. The facility included a covert underground plant for extracting weapons-grade plutonium.
• Espionage and Stolen Designs: Israel reportedly used a network of scientists and agents to access classified nuclear data from Western nations. This included stealing centrifuge blueprints that were later used for uranium enrichment.
• Operation Plumbat (1968): To secure uranium, the Mossad orchestrated the disappearance of a freighter carrying 200 tons of yellowcake (uranium ore). The cargo was transferred at sea to an Israeli vessel using a web of front companies to evade European Euratom controls.
• The NUMEC Incident (1960s): Between 200 and 600 pounds of highly enriched uranium allegedly vanished from the Nuclear Materials and Equipment Corporation (NUMEC) facility in Pennsylvania. Declassified documents suggest this material was diverted to Israel with the help of sympathetic owners.
• Illicit Procurement of Triggers: In the 1980s, an Israeli spy network illegally smuggled krytrons—high-speed electronic switches used as nuclear triggers—out of the United States without the required export licenses.
• Cooperation with South Africa: Evidence suggests Israel collaborated with apartheid-era South Africa on nuclear development, including a suspected joint nuclear test in 1979 known as the Vela Incident. 

Current Status

• Estimated Stockpile: Experts estimate Israel possesses between 80 and 90 nuclear warheads, with some estimates ranging as high as 400.
• Strategic Purpose: The arsenal serves as a “last resort” deterrent, often referred to as the “Samson Option”—the threat of massive retaliation if the state’s existence is imperiled.

Preventing psychopathic maniacs from getting nuclear weapons was the first ‘line in the sand.’ The last seven presidents have been saying Iran is a big problem in the world.

I guess I missed Trump saying Iranian/Persian people are low IQ, as you claim.

Well now I understand what your point is And what you believe Trump is doing. He never really made it clear and the nuke thing going on for years was getting old and if he claimed it was destroyed why are they still attacking them? They don’t want anything to do with us or trust us, why should they. Now these attacks pretty much sealed that.

Of course most agree about civilians as many persecuted by a dictatorial regime and how did it evolve.

Trump was wrong calling them low IQ. They have a long and ancient including biblical  history.

Here’s some of the things they made along the way. Except maybe the taxation.

Ancient Iran (Persia) significantly shaped the modern world with innovations like the Qanat water management system, windmills, and Yakhchāls (ancient refrigerators). They pioneered human rights via the Cyrus Cylinder, established the first postal system (Royal Road), and invented early taxation, banking (checks), and games like polo and backgammon.

• Technology & Engineering: Wind catchers (early air conditioning), Yakhchāls (ice houses), and Qanats for water management.
• Systems & Governance: The first courier post (Royal Road), the Cyrus Cylinder (often cited as the first charter of human rights), and early taxation systems.
• Science & Mathematics: Development of algebra (Al-Khwarizmi), advancements in astronomy and medicine, and early metallurgy.
• Culture & Daily Life: The Persian New Year (Nowruz), Zoroastrianism, polo, backgammon, the domestication of goats, and wine production.
• Agriculture: Development of the modern brick.

I don’t see Trump helping Israel.
He was, and is, in charge of the operation against the maniacs who run Iran.
Not Israel.
He has been pissed off at some of the things they have done during this time.
Maybe they are next.
I am no friend of those in charge of Israel. But like pretty much everywhere else, including Iran, I believe many of the people of Israel are not the problem.

Well while he’s trying broker peace and  captive Iran with a seize fire a pit bull is attacking Lebanon and killed last heard 254 people out to take their land. Oh if they only had their own land so they don’t get run out this time. People might agree to them but now they do the same to others.  Entitlement issues? They’re own land and what everyone else’s? Is it coming out on msm? They’re just going to forgive all that killing and destruction? They are going to kill any chance of a election of a Republican like the VP next election and maybe the mid terms blocking any of Trump’s economic progress and move to impeach again and already calling this war partnering with Israel crimes against humanity so besides impeachment coming up again you know what their going to do next.

Israel Says Iran Cease-Fire Does Not Extend to Lebanon and Continues Strikes – The New York Times https://share.google/oREvPXuKnFjT9e8vj

I see Israel as the dangerous Pitbull.

Trump has no interest in WWIII, or any war for that matter.
He is trying to neutralize the handlers of a dangerous pitbull who have been [used for] terorizing an entire neighborhood, and beyond, for decades.
He has created an alliance of Middle East countries, first with the Abraham Accords and now the Board of Peace. I don’t see how that pushes it into the hands of Russia or China or anyone else.

How convenient.

So far democrats 28 to 30,  Republicans zero, nada.

As of early April 2026, Democrats have flipped at least 28 to 30 Republican-held state legislative seats since the 2024 election, while Republicans have flipped zero seats over the same period. This trend is primarily driven by state-level special elections, showing significant Democratic momentum in state legislatures.

Key Takeaways

• Democratic Gains: Democrats have achieved 28–30 seat flips in state legislatures.
• Republican Gains: No state legislative seats have been flipped from Democratic to Republican control.
• Recent Examples: Key flips occurred in Florida, Iowa, and Arkansas, including in areas with court-modified maps.
• Context: This is a notable shift, with Democrats winning in special elections and overturning Republican seats, indicating strong voter turnout for Democrats in state races early in the 2026 cycle. 

Then I don’t understand your point. Also stand by mine.

Ps maybe it’s a good thing  because they’ll push the mid east into the hands of China and Russia and they can deal with it and hopefully Trump won’t go that far into WW111 to enable Israel  land grabs not that I have any love for radical terrorists but maybe they wouldn’t be there along with needing to defend themselves is we didnt side with land grabbers in the first place.

My statement at 14:18 said nothing about Israel.
I stand by my statement.

It sounded like he meant like it sounds, the ability to survive as we see civilization today. Now power at all. Now perhaps it’s a scare tactic and warming in one. Now if he said end of a regime but he didn’t. Meanwhile Israel is busy attacking Lebanon to get a chunk of their land just helping themselves again and attacking them, their homes and hospitals just like they did Gaza. I’m guessing by now the other country’s around there are a bit of concerned let alone Iran knowing theyre existence is for war against their neighbors and will attack regardless if they’re not a imminent threat to take their land and openly admit it.

I think it’s fair to say that this sucks. They’re going to take the metals red. That is just unbelievable, although with what we’ve seen over the years it shouldn’t be.

It seems to me that once they broke the silver market, things went right back to the same old manipulation game at higher levels.

Some serious B.S. today though.

Yes, we’ve been conditioned to expect these kind of manipulations by the scum. I’m afraid that the lockdowns perpetuated by the algorithms will be extremely difficult to break free from.

All of my buys from late February-early March are still underwater.

Hard to stay upbeat on days like this…..

before entering the 3rd up and taking out all time Hi’s….and therefore the last opportunity to buy ‘cheap’….

I don’t understand why this has been interpreted by some to mean the people of Iran, except as propaganda and to as always reach for some way, any way, to criticize President Trump.
He did not threaten anything like genocide. Clearly.

GDX/Gold Still not able to take out the top line on range chart but

but closing chart showing prmis of a break out

I bought a few shares the last couple days but sold them on the rip in the pre market this morning. It just seems that the majority of the time the US Market stops the momentum of the big overnight moves. I sold AG this morning at $23 and since the day started, it’s come all the way back to $21 and is now in the red. How many days over the years have we seen that happen? Way too many.

HL is also on its way to red.

Hard to believe with silver still up $2, but silver too, it was up $4 at the open.
