When he was in Congress , his office was the only one the K Street lobbyists avoided . It was known that their donations ( bribes ) would be refused .
When he retired , a constituent with a private aircraft offered to fly him back to TX. TSA type government thugs ‘inspected’ the aircraft for five hours before releasing it for take off . Those involved should be named publicly .
These are dangerous times and we don’t have a lot of time to turn things around. Statesmanship seems to be seriously lacking … For the most part I am behind Trump … we’ll see what he does.
I cut him some slack on the vax issue. I agree that medical is not his strong suit, and he did what executives do; they rely upon their advisors to provide the information to make decisions. And who were his advisors? Fauci et al. ‘Nuff said.
As to the neocons, I think he knows where he went wrong. I don’t expect him to make similar mistakes again.
What a waste of resources! The whole zero carbon emissions thing is an impossible dream. I hate how complicated cars have become … all the electronic stuff that will eventually fail and cost you big bucks.
There are some troublesome aspects to the GDX chart. There are overlapping waves on the rally and lately the volume has fallen off. Of course that can be attributed to Holiday volume. And moves can begin with overlapping waves but still it gives pause. Nonetheless, even with another dip down it still looks like a bigger bull market. So I guess I will not try to trade the dip if it comes but buckle up and take the ride. Or maybe sell a few and rebuy.
The entire environmental EPA nonsense, solar windmills etc was no different than China’s new roads and bridges to nowhere. New shopping malls with no one there, new empty apartment buildings. And our poor cars are chock full of unneeded expensive electronics parts, welfare.
The EV Graveyard Reckoning, Hardly Anyone Wants to Buy a Used One
The market for used EVs is plummeting. What will car rental companies do with the used ones? Problems started in China but have spread to Europe and the US.
A subsidy-fueled boom helped build China into an electric-car giant but left weed-infested lots across the nation brimming with unwanted battery-powered vehicles.
On the outskirts of the Chinese city of Hangzhou, a small dilapidated temple overlooks a graveyard of sorts: a series of fields where hundreds upon hundreds of electric cars have been abandoned among weeds and garbage.
Similar pools of unwanted battery-powered vehicles have sprouted up in at least half a dozen cities across China, though a few have been cleaned up. In Hangzhou, some cars have been left for so long that plants are sprouting from their trunks. Others were discarded in such a hurry that fluffy toys still sit on their dashboards.

Yeah he actually got booed at one of his rally’s for mentioning that but it was awhile ago. At least he’s didn’t want to mandate. I realize he’s probably clueless on medical and became his Achilles Heel and allow emergency use as long as safe and double win for the left during the election who then unconstitutionally mandated it on everyone.
remember too all the panicked people who demanded it and shut downs and masks on everyone and in their reckless regard expected others to take it too.
The neocons at the time with ISIS and terrorism rising appeared needed and also not dragged on and on in perpetual war. After which some of the neocons wanted just that like Bolton and more he started putting stops choosing peace with strength, as far as I know. A private pay per view write up someone I know purchased it by Armstrong said he knows who that are.
My concern is in real estate and he should know what Black Rock and other Wall Street players are up to although he deals in buildings not buying domestic real estate. What is he going to do about them, and foreign buyers buying up our land includes farm land.
I know he’ll deal with the borders who will also cause more housing and neighborhood problems with housing including schools, hospital, jobs, inflation and more resources and already they’re running out of places to house them and kicking citizens even out of assisted living by these morons.
So … you don’t think people believe in higher gold! They’ve been beaten down so long they don’t quite believe it and think it’s some sort of spike? I think you are right and we are due for a multi year climb. We’ve waited long enough!
Nobody’s perfect but a couple of things I don’t like about Trump are his support for the vaccine and his choosing of a bunch of neocons for his first cabinet. Makes me wonder a bit.
My thoughts? There could be some tax law selling, but what I suspect has happened, for a long time, is there has not been a long steady multi year rise in Gold Prices since the 2011 and 2012 highs of $1800 and $1900.
Since that time, Gold hit $2000 in 2020, 2022, early 2023, and recently, fourth time, made a highest of all highs at $2150. So I think Gold is way past due for a multi year climb, and its coming very soon, after going past $2200 its going to continue climbing like the 2009 to 2012. era, and the miners should do great.

One thing Trump accomplished without trying is flush out a lot of corrupt and incompetent wanna be’s that are to say the least not fit for the office they stand. They opened a lot of eyes even from those who don’t normally pay attention and don’t like the direction they’re going. They cannot be trusted by the public or the country as a whole” in which we stand.” There should be a serious effort to have them investigated, judged themselves and removed. It would be a more complete way to set precedents against barbarism, one sided collusion, misconduct, and corruption.
Im not watching too much news just a little because it’s just repetition or on the left parroting more corrupted monologues.
Meanwhile my not really political no time daughters other who survived all he survived and still in hospital now has pneumonia I worried about.
People who get sick and sometimes confusion or in a dream like state can say the strangest of funniest things. Sometimes you have to think is there a message there they quite didn’t get out right, Talking to one of the male nurses at around midnight when many times they can get worse at night he says he has to report to doctor he asked him to ask the doctor to set his temperature to 65 F because he’s too hot. I assume he was trying to say his room temperature but came out wrong. He did say before spiking a fever he was cognitively alert.

I’m glad that the Judges pushed back and denied judicial misconduct in the face of prosecutor misconduct on their watch, Hoping a Supreme Court sets precedent against the apparent political collusion, misconduct and violation of rights and interfering in elections ahead of other judges who might do the same.The misconduct should be investigated. IMO they can’t be trusted they shouldn’t be there.

Something the media is not talking about:
Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates could join as full members of BRICS beginning January 1st.
