Cheer up! We might get a sunspot or two in the next year. And it should be warmer in about five years. Light a big bonfire. 🙂
Well damn fellas
I hope those sunspots come back pretty soon because it’s about to get really cold in my part of the world.

Hi Maya, I’m with you on every point. Just trying to expose the global warming BS. Thanks for a great response and all the best from Silverngold.

It’s the bottom of the 11-year sunspot cycle… after a particularly weak “maximum” five years ago…. this is why we now have global cooling instead of the over-hyped global warming of years past. Notify the climate police!! The sun’s output is the source of our climate changes… not your car exhaust. And I’m living on a volcano whose pollution output far exceeds anything manmade.
This is only day 100 without a sunspot. In 2009 the sun went 260 days without a spot at the last cycle minimum.
Without the sunspots lighting up the ionosphere for radio reflections, the shortwave radio bands really suck right now. No fears… it will be much better in six years.

Yep, It’s like getting someone working for one side working for the other like a mole. He’s not up for election anytime soon so don’t think he’ll be able to run again by the time he’s up to run again. Until then he’ll be a obstructionist or absent to vote for his parties concerns.
Every Democrat Voted No
The Bill passed the House but the democrats voted no for a tax break for the working family.
That’s how he wins AZ. elections
Arizona GOP Sen. John McCain is viewed more favorably by Democrats and independents than Republicans, a CNN Poll conducted by SSRS released Tuesday shows.
Sixty-eight percent of Democrats said they had a favorable opinion of the Republican senator, whereas 48% of independents and 46% of Republicans responded the same way.
At least we’re trying to hold steady
although we should probably be doing better with the USD down.
R640 – I think we’re probably going to need a couple more weeks of good COT numbers if they are going to have any effect. I’m assuming of course that the COT’s aren’t rigged like everything else… 🙂
Eeos–U ask the paradigmatic question that applies to all advisers-brokers-letter writers-if they’re so smart why are they peddling subscriptions-why not trade their own money and get rich?
I guess one way of looking at the issue would be to ask why are there coaches if they cannot get on the field and play the game…but that’s really no answer

@Maddog re Manipulated Gold Prices, Low Interest Rates, Fed Bond Buying, Infrastructure Spending, Modifying NAFTA, Tariffs On Steel and Aluminum, Income and Profit Tax Cuts, Low Wages Concern…
Did I miss anything? Probably a lot more, panic and concern moves regarding the new world order global commune-ity gov’t.
The same Business/Fed ass holes that wanted lower wages (and materials) in the 1970s, got their way. Now they realize it was PROFITABLE short term (36 years ’72 to 2008) but counter productive long term.
The bastards used to say inflation was caused by too high wages. A “wage price spiral” the scum bags called it.
They, TPTB, will “get theirs” probably suddenly.

Seems to me … not so good for morale … torturing your own guys.

Re Hamas torture….they’re just keeping their hand in…it’s what comes naturally.

Hamas Torturing Militants In Crackdown On “Unauthorized” Rocket Attacks Against Israel
The Palestinian militant group Hamas which governs the Gaza Strip has reportedly initiated a crackdown on Salafist fighters within its ranks who are responsible for instances of unauthorized rocket fire into Israel, which has been sporadic in the last two weeks since President Trump’s contentious recognition of Jerusalem as the Israeli capital on December 6th.
The Times of Israel cites Hamas media statements as well as unnamed intelligence sources to report that the group has arrested a growing number of Islamist militants in recent days amidst the crackdown and further that some among them were likely tortured in an effort to clamp down on the attacks, which have invited devastating air and tank counter assaults by Israeli forces on Hamas locations.
“According to Hamas, among those arrested were operatives responsible for the recent rocket launches. It’s likely that some of these men were tortured by Hamas’ security people,” the report states. Hamas is further signaling to Egyptian intelligence and other regional Arab governments that it wishes to avoid escalation with Israel according to the report.
