They want to ban your car, tax every breath you take, and kill industry.

“This whole Green Deal is one giant scam for power & profit.”

Slovak MEP just went nuclear in the EU Parliament Who else is sick of this hypocrisy?

Ha! The Jihadist did something dumber than me the other day Lol lol   I decided to try out pepper spray was side tracked just picked one of many on Amazon got it opened it up in a enclosed room, checked to see how far it traveled ahead of time distracted with other things and it didn’t travel far only a few feet and spilling on my fingers but quickly realized it wasn’t pepper spray.  Someone stole that idea from Mexican woman who shared that with me in the 60s who used finely ground hot pepper in a small container or bag as self defence. Anyways found it wasn’t pepper spray it was mace. Now I know what mace is like.

Good to see someone did something stupider than that.

Particularly targeting out a bunch of not  nurses or art students but a bunch of ROTC students and the hunter became the hunted . I had to laugh.

It’s too bad that we can’t judge the merits of Gold and Silver on simply their inherent qualities. Like so many things in our lives now, politics works its way into the narrative and seemingly dominates the discourse these days.

The only political comment that I’ll make is this:

I voted for Trump because I thought ( and still do to a certain degree) that he truly cares about our country and the people that make up America. But where I have become dismayed recently, is that he campaigned aggressively on “America First” and NO NEW WARS!

I agree that the Iranian regime is horrible. But to think that one can completely wipe them out quickly by bombing them, is disingenuous.

Thats all I’ll say…..

But not for long … and how long is long? BWAHAHAHA!

What do you think Xi or Putin would do if the Iranian regime was building the bomb and saying that they would use it to kill them and all their peoples.

Asia’s refineries are built for Gulf crude

That’s exactly what’s disappearing from Hormuz right now

You can’t just swap in US Light Sweet.

It doesn’t run the same way.

Why there’s no easy substitute:

→ #Russia: Already maxed out, can’t scale further

→ US Light Sweet: Wrong grade for Asian refineries

→ #Venezuela Heavy: Extra-heavy, rarely goes to Asia

→ #Canada Heavy: 96% to US, not exported to Asia

The reality is that Asia doesn’t just need oil.

Asia needs Medium and Heavy Sour crude from the Gulf.

And right now:

→ The Strait is 80% closed
→ Refineries are burning
→ Producers are declaring force majeure
→ Tankers won’t enter the Gulf

You can’t replace it barrel for barrel because refineries are built for specific grades.

When those grades disappear, the system breaks.

AMAZING! Students at ODU BEAT THE SHOOTER TO DEATH. 🔥

Thank God too, or some liberal judge would’ve taken it easy on him. He got the death penalty he deserved.

🚨NYC Mayor socialist Zohran Mamdani has proposed lowering the exemption on the death tax (estate tax) from $7.1 million down to only $750,000.

He would also increase the death tax from 16% to 50%.

No other jurisdiction in the USA confiscates wealth at death from people with that small of an estate. Anyone with any equity in a home in NYC would likely exceed the $750,000 and have to pay the death tax.

There is a federal estate tax (death) for estate wealth that exceeds $15 million (individuals). However, you can deduct other state and city estate taxes before paying the federal estate tax. So effectively, Mamdani is preventing the federal govt from taxing estates, NYC and NY State are taking it all first.

I can’t imagine for even a minute that the neocons supported this, it is a sign of weakness. If they did, then we are in deeper crap than we knew, with supposedly only 2 months left of rare earths and running out of munitions.

It seems this was done very quietly.

Oil prices stay high despite US temporarily lifting sanctions on Russian oil stranded at sea | CNN Business

Trump may have bitten off more than he could chew and was misled by the neocons that this would be an easy victory.

I hope Ritter is right. The one thing he was right about was that there were no WMD’s in Iraq like Colin Powell and others claimed.

One more thing, if all this is true and deals are being made to end this, I believe Trump is at risk.

They definitely got the strong dollar policy working for them.

Can’t even buy the dips with this stuff, it goes from weak to weaker to even weaker.

What they’re doing to silver today is just ridiculous.

Here comes a rumor or news: the QQQ’s just gained half its losses back in less than 30 seconds.

Nope, false alarm. Lost it all back. Silver trades tick for tick with the QQQ’s – only worse.

So, there’s talk of “maybe we should seize Kharg Island and all it’s oil facilities.” IMO this is a stupid idea. If we want to deny Iran the ability to ship anything out of there all we have to do is bomb the machinery-pumps, pipes etc that ship the oil. We don’t need to take casualties and turn our men into targets for a political gains!

He won’t make it through this term. If he were to do a back door deal with Putin and end this war, the CIA/Mossad/neocon wing will kill him and then start with the false flag terrorist attacks here in the United States and blame Iran.

He screwed up, he danced with the devil and the devil wants his pound of flesh. There’s no satisfying the bloodlust of these people.

The only worse dance you can do is with the pm sector. 😂😞

You are right … the next few weeks could be brutal.

They don’t want commercial buyers of silver continuing to step up to the plate moving forward (especially this month – a delivery month) as they are close to getting cleaned out. (war accomplishes this – where large commercial orders will be delayed or cancelled)

So it would not be surprising to see them keep the pressure on a few more weeks.

Based on my harmonics work published over 20 years ago – a 50% correction should be expected at such junctures. (looks like this could be a high degree correction if it does not reverse soon)

Rick Rule will be happy as he is looking for a buying opportunity and he might get one.

20 % for a bear mkt is a number the Media use for stox in general, it is a number they made up….For stox that barely move 1 % a day…when yr dealing with stox that happily move 5 or 10 % /day……I think u need a way bigger number….

What we have here is a C wave dn in serious correction…..are nowhere near even a 38 % correction of the last up wave, let alone a 50 % one.

Fully agree … but on the positive side … this proves the bull is still very young.

Traders … like the public … have had their brains bashed in for years via technology/conditioning.

The timing of this psyop is at exactly the same time in the Presidential Cycle as COVID.

They needed distraction – Epstein – and they got it.

If they don’t pull back soon though they could really piss-off a bunch of people.

The unintended consequences would be empire ending.

Even the desires of the Zionists will get delayed until they can figure something else out IMO.

The charts say a little more selling over the next week or two … and then attention will turn to the 250th Anniversary and the mid-terms.

It’s either that or Armageddon.

Isreal will use nukes.

Have a nice day

When has Scott Ritter ever got anything right…if he told me tomorrow was Saturday….I would want two other confirmations.

If I am not mistaken this index is now in bear market territory.

Hard to watch when so many of these miners are flushed with cash.

Even at 4000 gold they are cash cows.

Dog

If he wants a third term … he has no choice.

The fact he went to Putin to broker a deal means he’s serious.

It’s all fun and games until you threaten to take a psycho/control freak’s toys away.

Chuckle

Captain – I really hope that is true. Trump’s ego is massive, so it’s a little hard to believe. I’ll take some hope though. This is going to destroy the economy.

deer79 – these are the greatest wealth destroyers ever created. It’s just unbelievable how bad they get beaten. Silver is another one. Funny how a strong dollar crushes the pm sector but nothing else. Hopefully we can bounce today, but so many times this stuff goes down and just stays there all day.

…just continue to get obliterated….RSI’s go back down into the 20’s ( for quite a few that I own of course), and it just doesn’t matter. Extremely frustrating to watch…..

Jimmy and former weapons inspector and geopolitical analyst Scott Ritter break down the stunning geopolitical shift underway that finds a desperate Donald Trump, facing strategic defeat in Iran, lifting all sanctions on Russian oil and begging Russian president Vladimir Putin for help—with Kremlin economic envoy Kirill Dmitriev now meeting U.S. negotiator Steve Witkoff in Miami to broker the bargain.

Ritter tells Jimmy that Russia holds all the cards: with the Strait of Hormuz closed, global energy markets are collapsing, and only Russia can supply oil to Asia and Europe, solving its economic problems overnight while the U.S. runs out of missiles and faces economic catastrophe.

The potential deal would see America withdraw from the Middle East, lift sanctions on Iran, and constrain Israel—allowing Trump to claim “peacemaker” cover for a humiliating retreat. Ritter concludes this is 100% happening because the U.S. has no other option, and the only question is whether Israel can be stopped from destroying regional energy infrastructure entirely.

This could be real.

Mornin all

in normal times would be a good setup for a Fed cut.

Durable goods missed. GDP up 0.7% vs. 1.4% expectations.

PCE price index y/y up 2.4% vs. 2.9% expectations.

Nevertheless, the dollar is moving higher again. Rates down a bip.
