Yeah that’s not good. Who’s running the show?

“Human chains”

It won’t be there long after a few jets fly over!

Something lit a fire under gold.

Ipso – we might not bomb them, but Israel might. They have a habit of killing negotiators.

Human chains are not good.

Well metals hit, oil up. Trying to hold gold down isn’t gonna save the dollar or stop inflation and the resulting recession it will cause and further consequences by this war and increasing the depth of it and debt and possible result in rising interest rates anymore than oil prices going up. Oil by itself doesn’t make it a reserve like gold but the printers and spenders dumped it to dig more holes for us.

US Official Cites ‘Glimmer Of Progress’ On Ceasefire After Trump Warns ‘A Whole Civilization Will Die Tonight’

Summary:
Tehran Times: All communications with US side suspended – THEN ISSUES CORRECTION, REVERSES. This after Trump’s Tues. morning threat: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” Axios cites “glimmer” of progress on negotiations.

In a call with FOX’s Bret Baier, Trump says 8 PM deadline today “could change if negotiations move forward, but sticking to deadline for now.”

Kharg Island heavily bombed in preparation for potential US Marine/Special Forces ground seizure. Reports of ‘human chains’ at bridges, power plants, in Iran forming.

Israel has begun attacking Iran’s railway infrastructure, telling civilians to not take trains, cancelations across country. IRGC still defiant – announces new retaliatory attacks on petrochemical plants in eastern Saudi Arabia.

Iran’s 10-point counter to the US 15-point ceasefire shows signs of willingness to compromise (‘reparations’ from US dropped as a demand). Vance says war will end “very shortly”. Russia, China veto UNSC Hormuz resolution.

Seems like we’re going into a darker age where resources are fewer and life is harder. The US is destroying it’s own monetary system.

This guy thinks that:

“The ‘AI job loss’ narratives are all fake,” he wrote.

“AI = massive ramp in productivity = massive ramp in demand = massive jobs boom. Watch.”

Of course he’s wealthy so whatever happens won’t affect him much.

That the pm shares were outperforming and decided to come in and fix that problem. Buggers.

Is it me, or does the world feel like it’s headed towards a slow motion train wreck?

especially with the SM down and silver taking a 2% hit.

Then again, there’s a long day ahead.

Dollar is flat, with oil surging toward $116.

Today is the big day for Trump to obliterate Iran, according to him anyway.

Slowly but surely the world will realise they have to drive Gold higher, to offset debt….it buys more time for free, just the kind of choice todays politicians love.

Yep. It’s all about oil now, and I agree with you on inflation and rates.

The wicked wind of inflation is here, and recession arrives shortly.

I wonder how long the dollar will be able to hold reserve status if oil starts getting sold in other currencies.

I hope there is some plan behind all the warring this century other than to fatten the wallets of bankers, politicians and the MIC.

I hope not either but have a feeling our hopes don’t matter. Oil and bonds have had a correlation even before Nixon took us off the gold standard setting it free for gold to remain a standard while the attack on oil cannot hold the dollar up so any internal political attack on oil can be a enemy suspect to any country.

Jamie Diamond the debt to GDP ratio was at 120 and Greece collapsed at 130 if media got that correct. Inflation could put us globally in a recession and push interest rates up not down.

Mining stocks are down except TMQ up one of Trump’s projects and gov owns a small portion. Only saw a few stocks though.

I really hope not, but I do agree.

Things have turned a bit more favorable in the last hour or so though. Oil coming back in, dollar and rates falling, PM’s and shares gaining a bit.

I would love to see some peace break out.

I think this oil problem could get bigger pretty soon.

That could cause a radiation leak that could effect other adjoining countries water ways.

There’s a new reality for a while, and that’s much higher fuel prices everywhere, except maybe Russia.

Quick glance has dollar and rates flat or up a little. SM, gold and Bitcoin down a little. Silver down 1%.

Damage isn’t too severe at this stage. Silver seems to be finding a base here at $70, Shanghai at $80

Almost 8000 comments including a fluent Russian who said the translation is correct.

Rabbi said the world is gonna go down to their knees especially the western is going to go down hard. A minute video. Done what?

Lol They should fill him in on things like that. But as far as Nak..m just sayin..  what news will sell it off again.

I don’t know anything about NAK. I do know that literally anything Trump does will be challenged in court, so the fish are safe for awhile.

Btw I did find this but basically only helps people before hospitalized or can be cared for at home. Find out just how much a hour is allowable.
Yes, you can pay family members for care without violating Medicaid rules, but it requires a formal, legally binding Personal Care Agreement to avoid penalties. Without this contract, payments are often considered “gifts” and can cause a disqualification period. Compensation must be at fair market value for services rendered.

Key Requirements to Pay Family Caregivers:
Personal Care Agreement: A written, signed, and dated contract must exist before care is provided, outlining duties and compensation.
Fair Market Value: Payment must reflect reasonable local rates for similar care services.
Document Everything: Keep detailed logs of hours worked and tasks performed.
Medicaid Waivers: Many states allow payments through Medicaid Home & Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers, which sometimes cover legally responsible relatives (like spouses or parents).

How it Affects Medicaid Eligibility:
Spend Down: Using funds to pay a family member is considered “spending down” assets. This helps applicants reach Medicaid’s low asset limits (often

) without violating the “look-back” rule.
Informal Payments: Giving a family member money, a car, or free rent without a contract can result in a transfer penalty, making you ineligible for Medicaid.
