This picture has nothing to do with a past Kitco interview, I am using it here simply because it reminds me of “better days”!

      I listened to what Patrick had to say, Ed, and I cannot agree with tit. With all of the opposition that exists against the president I think that he has done a great job so far against very significant odds. The numbers that he throws out regarding the various segments making up the employment universe are proof enough in themselves for me. Pulling out of Syria; Afghanistan; and, Iraq show me his truly feelings about the MIC. Lets discuss this topic rationally.

      Thanks for the link, Ed.

        Fact check is available.

      Like the guy said…..”do not count on the politicians”

        Feb 13, 2019 13:31 PM

        Certainly not on most of them!

          Feb 13, 2019 13:32 PM

          Definitely you too Jerry, but I am sure that he continues to do that.

      Feb 13, 2019 13:32 PM

      that is not the point of the picture. The comment about “better times” is the point.
      Thanks Jerry

          Sir Irish, Duke of Guinness, that was so many years ago and prior to marriage and kids that I have almost forgot!

        Feb 13, 2019 13:58 PM

        Because he pays them BIG BUCKS to get on their shows. Actually I am pretty close to Kitco going back to my goldbug days. Not so much anymore.

    Feb 13, 2019 13:18 PM

    Cortez ….is an idiot………real simple…….I posted the other day, the only job she had was being a bartender……and I said., I bet she gave away a lot of FREE BOOZE, at the expense of her boss…..

      Feb 13, 2019 13:34 PM

      She may very well be an idiot, but I would prefer to call her an idealist who is simply grossly ignorant of simple reality. The problem is that there are too many of those folks out there!

        Feb 13, 2019 13:40 PM

        You are to kind Owl……..
        I think she wanted to have a train to Hawaii………and suspend air travel…
        She clearly is not aware of the OIL Giants, which run the show……..

        Feb 13, 2019 13:04 PM

        I need to be kinder to her……….she is just misguided…….

          Feb 13, 2019 13:10 PM

          Galatians 5….have to keep reminding myself…….

            Feb 13, 2019 13:36 PM

            As do I, Jerry!

          Feb 13, 2019 13:35 PM

          She is certainly misguided at the very least

      Feb 13, 2019 13:33 PM

      We ere talking about that today at Book club. The way the D’s are currently headed, Trump is a sure winner in 2020!

      Sir Irish, Duke of Guinness, I completely agree with Durden’s thoughts!. Thanks for posting this link!

        Feb 13, 2019 13:46 PM

        Hi AL…I have to tell you , things here in the UK & Europe are bad , but from were i’m standing they are a lot worse in the U S…..Has everybody gone flaming mad ?

          Feb 13, 2019 13:01 PM

          No, some have just gone flaming unrealistic!

      Feb 13, 2019 13:39 PM

      The Texas Republican introduced the Ensuring Lawful Collection of Hidden Assets to Provide Order (EL CHAPO) Act in April 2017, which calls for the use of the $14 billion seized from the cartel drug lord to be used to pay for the wall.

      “Fourteen billion dollars will go a long way toward building a wall that will keep Americans safe and hinder the illegal flow of drugs, weapons, and individuals across our southern border,” Cruz said in a statement

        Feb 13, 2019 13:41 PM

        Wisconsin Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner proposed similar legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives, which would use money seized from drug cartels to fund a border wall.

          Feb 13, 2019 13:44 PM

          All in the timing………Wall money becomes available, through the courts today, maybe, and Donald does not have to shut down the govt….and can take the $1.375 Billion from Nancy, …and the dems look good, and the Pres. looks good via through the courts of forfeiture …..

            Feb 13, 2019 13:42 PM

            Great point again In the Box!

        Feb 13, 2019 13:41 PM

        If that is lawful, Trump should do just that!

    Feb 13, 2019 13:56 PM

    I watched a program on the dust bowl during the 1930’s, there were five crop failures in five years, the US government stepped in around 1937 and offered some assistance to the Okies who looked like concentration camp survivors but most of them wouldn’t accept any government handout. They believed it was beneath them to accept what they viewed as welfare, how times have changed. DT

      Feb 13, 2019 13:05 PM

      Back then, more people understood that governments could only provide for some by taking from others.

        Feb 13, 2019 13:35 PM

        As well we now have multi generations of people with their hands out. When Judge Judy asks ” how do you support yourself”‘ the answer is usually “I get disability payments.” DT

          Feb 13, 2019 13:00 PM

          That’s right, it’s the moral hazard that comes with all forms of collectivism.

          Feb 13, 2019 13:45 PM

          That should BE TERMINATED IMMEDIATELY! You nee to keep reminding people of that fact Mr.Tracy!

        Feb 13, 2019 13:44 PM

        Amen, Matthew!

      Feb 13, 2019 13:43 PM

      You really think that times have changed? Well, surprise and more surprises!

    Feb 13, 2019 13:03 PM

    Big Al, in your picture you say it shows better days, but I believe your better days are ahead, as they are for all of us, on the other side of mortality, that is another thing the socialists cannot take away from us. Hope you and your wife are fairing well at this point! God bless you both and may he lend you a portion of better health and well being at this time of life.

      Feb 13, 2019 13:08 PM

      Well said…….ditto of course……

      Feb 13, 2019 13:46 PM

      Thanks Pardu. Faith and Grace definitely sustains us1

      Feb 13, 2019 13:48 PM

      That is certainly possible, Pardu!

    DAVID WILLIAM PEAR: “HANDS OFF VENEZUELA, CANADA AND US GO HOME!”

    geez, this article might make any good person think twice before investing in canadian or U.S. mining companies.

    What they have done and do to people is despicable.

      Feb 13, 2019 13:47 PM

      Sure puts a different light on old Canada……seem your hands are not clean either….
      Got any bison meat……..I always thought the Royal Canadian Police , were kind of respectable…..

        Feb 13, 2019 13:48 PM

        “….the NorthWest Mounted Police were created and the Texas Rangers renewed and reorganized in the early 1870s specifically to address the pressing ‘native question’ confronting Texas and western Canada, among the few places where bison still roamed after 1870….. both Austin and Ottawa called on their rural police to manage indigenous populations facing societal collapse….by controlling or denying the Natives access to the bison.”

          Feb 13, 2019 13:49 PM

          God save the queen………….lol

            Feb 13, 2019 13:50 PM

            Trudeau’s conspiracy with Trump to overthrow the internationally recognized government of Venezuela has unmasked Canada as a second-rate imperial power. Upon closer look, Canada has been protecting its oil and mining companies that have been raping Latin American countries, destroying their environment and poisoning their people for decades. Canadian imperialism has to obey its “deep state” too, as Canadian journalist Bruce Livesey puts it:

      Feb 13, 2019 13:59 PM

      Ditto ……..on the despicable………

      Feb 13, 2019 13:49 PM

      I was in that industry for over 40 years, b, and I will tell you that this is not the case always.

    Half of the world’s biggest miners do not keep track of their tailings risk management measures -report
    The Responsible Mining Foundation says many of the world’s largest mining companies are not able to ‘know and show’ how effectively they are addressing the risks of tailings dam failure and seepage.

    ives a little insight to what articles like this mean.

    Just recently vale had some bursting, killed a village or two and a few people with it.
    Tailings of course flow straight into a river.

    Northern Dynasty will kill the salmon if pebble goes ahead, maybe not right away, but give it time.

      I remember the time that we watched the very first episode of “Newsroom” I could not believe what I heard because I realized that the news anchor being questioned was 100% correct and he hate the guts to say it. I think that we then watched the majority of the subsequent segments.

      Thanks for reminding me!
