Loading ...Hard to believe Newsom is still governor! I guess most Californians think he was doing a good job.
Winds of smoke … err change are on the way.
If you are bullish on stocks ….

Just saw your video. Three years? Some of those people and Celebs like Anthony Hopkins in his late 80s don’t have three years to be waiting around. England isn’t doing much better with their government. Least they have the money or other homes. They didn’t think of all the people who lost their homes in other ways like refusing mandatory jab, others the side effects from it, the place they worked or the business they had shut them down, or their cancel culture, then inflation. None of that affected them. What’s going to happen to these other people. The fires still going and looks to want to take out the whole county
Another missing link to survival
They should warn those who can’t pull up their garage door opener without power and their heavy because if the power goes out there not gonna work and won’t be able to get their car out of the garage and if they don’t have a bike at least they’re gonna be trapped there.

That’s right and Newscum made it worse and more expensive. He thinks he’s King be and when they had the chance to stop him they never did because they already had their homes. Those fire places you see, no mass. If it doesn’t come with one you don’t get one. Those standing they’d be wize not to knock it down if they can get past it. Not even electric because they rely on gas. He wants all electric. The permits are going to be more difficult and be scrutinizing every step along the way and have to wait for them and that’s when there wasn’t thousands.

It might just be terrorist cells. These democrats made it easy for them. Drained water reserves, blocking water for fish not even splitting it up. . BTW Newscum was seen walking around with a fish bowl saying he at least saved the fish. Defunding the fire department and opened the borders and spending more money on migrants than infrastructure. Not clearing the out dead brush. Picked a windy part of the year. Back in the day the wind would knock down antennas everywhere. Trash can blown down the street. I opened a umbrella once to see if I could fly.. That’s the kind of wind when those hot shots got killed in Sylmar. They did everything the opposite of what they should have. It’s like a paradox.
Now they let crazy arsonist trying to burn down a apartment building probably with kids inside, back on the street with all this going on. Just can’t make this S up. This autocorrect has a sensor of humor.

Comedian and podcaster Adam Carolla put out an insightful video rant about just how difficult it will be to rebuild, even if you had homeowner’s insurance — or happened to be a very wealthy Hollywood actor.
Epic Adam Carolla rant from a hotel after the LA wildfires forced to evacuate from his home, where he predicts Hollywood leftists will be so frustrated by the rebuild effort that they will not vote Democrat:

A few days ago, Iran said something…
… vague, about how in a few days things would dramatically change in the USA. And they were not talking about a new president. I suspect the LA fires are terror cells at work, under foreign direction.
Of course, as Goldi indicated, the ‘wokees’ in charge will never figure that out.
With all the talk about National Security, nuclear war, and defenses, Navy, Army, Air Force… who knew you could take out the second largest city in America with brush fires?! Perhaps Iran knew?

“…since when was investing in PM’s while living on an active volcano the quite life !!!!!!”
LOL! It’s all a matter of perspective.
I was a high-stress active TV Engineer in crowded Honolulu for 40 years, hating the big city stress and working so I could retire to the countryside… on an active volcano. Mainly because it was cheap and far from the tourists and madding crowd. I really do live a low stress life. A lot has to do with geologic familiarity and history of the volcano here. Madam Pele is my friend. I know her and respect her. And stacking physical during my working career was what enabled this laid-back jungle life!
Unbelievable
That cretin they caught using a blow torch lighting up old Christmas trees and other objects was released saying lack of evidence.
You will own nothing and be renting.
Cap’n, 15:57
On Friday the big four banks in Oz (which are smaller than one of your medium sized banks) were all champing at the bit for a rate cut in Feb. Cast iron, dyed in the wool certainty. Then last night rates shot up .16% on our 10yr bond and the currency dropped half a US cent.
See if any of them have the guts to admit they were wrong on Monday.
I still find it hilarious that anybody still thinks that CBs have any control over rates. A cunning central banker (a good central banker is, of course, an oxymoron) is able to follow market rates from in front, giving the impression that they are controlling the numbers. Jay has lost that one. Rates started rising after his first cut last year and never looked back.
News being quiet about this
California citizens apprehend a foreign man with a blow torch who said he has to do this and handed him to the police but media doesn’t want to talk about it.
Mel Gibson, Joe Rogan, ( recording) and Tyrus who grew up there. He’s not lying about the fire rules of southern California but vote for the woke morons BS.

This DEI training or what ever they call it is such a farce, it’s a bad joke. They are using color or pronouns to get people to cater to and make excuses for them. If they aren’t competent enough to do the job they’re applying that’s their problem not the ones who can. Just like these posers that get office by checking the boxes Tyrus mentions, they not only not qualified do their job they’re taking advantage of it. They don’t even seem to have a conscious. Without their pre written unless speeches they cannot function on a interpersonal level because they have no competence or thoughts worth anything of their own. Il
Newscum got caught lying when that mom wanted to know what he was going to do and showed his ignorance when he was on the phone to the president ” like senile Joe would know anyways’ to tell his phony ask what to do to pass the buck and lied about that to when she told him to put him on speaker then said he couldn’t get through. It must of been Joe’s nap time. Imagine these fools if this was A major terror attack burning the city down and killing the people, if it wasn’t already, they’d make it easy for them. They’d be the first ones getting out of town. What is it gonna take to wake these people up and stop voting for them? They actually think they can just find another lying demo who checked the boxes they were told to vote for because those are the right people lol lol lol so I don’t think they have learned. They are also responsible for causing this because they voted in and allowed it to happen without a conscious of their own probably thinking what they always think, it will never happen to them. So their just as guilty.
Looks like …
the 10-year is going up to 5% next week.
Monday could be interesting if a lot of selling starts Sunday night.
Hang onto your hats.
Good weekend all
Yup
Big problems when the insurance companies are stressed … if not done – big problems.

On This Day In 1776 Thomas Paine Published His Influential Pamphlet “Common Sense”
Which argued for American independence from British rule.
Comment: I think EVERY country should argue for total independence. Every country should produce its own natural resources and its own consumer products, especially cars, the second most expensive consumer product. Only import what you can’t produce naturally.

“Rates” I think you’re right. The gov’s inability to keep the long rates down is scaring the market!
The PM shares could sure be doing better … I haven’t said that before LOL
Captain Hook @ 14:11re your “a good attitude and exercise are key”
Right, because my life was labor intensive, and hearing all the baloney on slipped discs, bone on bone, sciatica I assumed my back was worn out. There was absolutely nothing wrong with my back.
And its not just backs that are affected by our own mental state. After my wife died, I was with her since high school, numerous other things were happening to me. That book is good for everything that bothers us.
The things about those fires
They were set intentionally. Think about the insurance companies that will go belly up, the banks that loaned money on the 10,000 structures that have burned so far. These fires will probably continue, it’s a terrorist attack on an epic scale. This could actually cause another banking crisis, because these banks and insurance companies are all intertwined. Imagine the derivatives on the MBS floating around on these mortgages.
They collapse the banks and set off the Great Reset that introduces the CBDC’s. Trump hasn’t even gotten into office and they’ll collapse the economy in the name of a “natural disaster.” Don’t forget the damage down here from the two hurricanes.
At a minimum, insurance will become unaffordable in other states, mortgages require insurance, lending stops. The collapse of the US is at hand.
Maybe this is the cracks we’re starting to see in the SM.
Mr.Copper @ 13:49
Exactly – a good attitude and exercise are key.
Backs are troublesome because you are always on your feet and the pain can be extreme – beyond what most people can handle.
Hence the drug industry.
Anywho – just do your best guys.

I started buying tiny amounts of this FTAI, and every time it goes down, it goes back up. I bought 30 more shares on the 7th.

@Buygold re Back Pain
I had on and off sever back pain since I started heavy lifting working at 18 years old. My last back attack was after the 2008 financial collapse. It was putting my socks on and suddenly back pain that was so bad, it took my breath away, and I fell crossways across the bed. I could not even move for three hours to rotate to watch tv, and the pain lasted over a week.
Then I went to visit my friend Bello at his car lot, and I told him what happened. He also had problems. He told me he was watching late night tv and they had a Dr. Sarno on, he was saying it’s involved with our emotions. Things on our minds. During the show a phone call came in by Howard Stern, who said, this guy is right. Bello got the book, Mind Over Back Pain, and read it.
Then my wife got be the book, (small and quick to read) and after I read it I was convinced there was nothing structurally or materially wrong with my back. I was carrying heavy stuff in front of me etc no more back pain, gone.
Then in 2015 from 2008, 7 years my wife got cancer, and we were rushing to a Dr appointment, and I lifted something heavy before we left, and BINGO a back attack. I said to myself, this is bullshit, I walked around in the living room went out to the car in pain, and drove, and the pain went away before we got there.
The Dr was saying people get chiropractors, or various other treatments including surgery, and the pain goes away, from placebo but always comes back because they did not do the right thing.
On the LA fires …
… don’t let woke management types watch this … heads might explode.
Wow
