    A Real War is never WIN – LOSE……………………..It is always LOSE – LOSE MORE

    The Drudge Report is a TOTALLY BIASED ONE-SIDED aggregator of news.
    It is total Socialist PROPAGANDA. I stopped reading Drudge garbage, but then I’m proud of being sanely conservative.

      I think Jimmy said in the other section,…., Drudge SOLD OUT………… who listens to them anymore…….

    Hi Al, In your last commentary you opined why people are not doing something about the dire circumstances that are prevailing. I suggest you take a good look at the Patriot Act and the new power allocations throughout the Federal Agencies, particularly the FBI, and I would suggest that things will become more clear. Just sayin…..

      Aug 31, 2022 31:05 PM

      Absolutely FIH.
      Remember when they were having a hard time passing the Patriot Act?
      Remember Sen Tom Daschle receiving the riacin letter?
      I do.
      But of course that was just another disgruntled Fort Detrick crazy behind all that.

        Aug 31, 2022 31:08 PM

        Ft…D…….. , funny how they are involved in a lot of crazy stuff……..
        All ties together………..

        Sep 01, 2022 01:26 AM

        The Ft. Detrick Crazy was falsely accused by the FBI and won a $6mil settlement for the false accusation. Robert Mueller’s FBI. The stink is deep in the swamp.

          Mueller and Barr were and are corrupt……….. the history is all there……..

          the govt does not care how much they pay………. they just tax the sheeple……… in some form or another…

    There seems to be no failed program from the past that the Biden Administration is not willing to implement in the present. (Remember Bill Clinton’s Failed Mortgage program?)
    Under pressure from the Federal Government, the second largest bank in the United States is beginning a first-time homebuyers’ test program in black and Hispanic neighborhoods. Bank of America Corp. plans to give home buyers mortgages without down payments, closing costs, or minimum credit scores.
    The program will especially target areas of Dallas, Detroit, Los Angeles, Miami, and Charlotte. The bank will use credit scores related to rent, utility, phone, and auto insurance payments to qualify borrowers for mortgages. Homebuyers in these Democrat districts will be given down-payment grants of $10,000 to $15,000, and — presto — like magic, they will have immediate real estate equity!
    Whitey don’t bother to apply during the test program.

    Most state motor vehicle licence bureaus issue State Identity Cards to people that cannot drive.
    But a birth certificate or similar is required.
    Biden has now started a design program ($1.5 million), without congressional permission, to design Federal I.D. cards to be given to illegal immigrants……that will look like state I.D.s

    Hail Dictator Biden.

      Aug 31, 2022 31:28 PM

      The program will not COST BofA…….. one thin dime…………….
      The home loans will carry interest over 12% I bet……… the sheeple will not know the difference….
      Total Usury …….

        Aug 31, 2022 31:40 PM

        Last time I checked, interest rate was 6%, and these are relatively low cost housing with the feds kicking in a non-recoverable $10-15K. The banks will be covered by the fed deposit for most losses.
        The bank just has to watch delinquencies carefully, and evict if neessary.

          Aug 31, 2022 31:59 PM

          Low cost housing in HIGH CRIME AREAS……….
          Tax payers will be bailing them out……. the sheeple, will never continue with the payments…..

            Aug 31, 2022 31:31 PM

            What is the sales price going to be………… ?
            Rents in LA….for a one bed apartment is $3000, Miami….$2500……

      Aug 31, 2022 31:36 PM

      You need to give them some skin in the game,.with the down payment free ha, ha money……so , they do not tear up the properties, and Bof A….can keep them in bondage to a mortgage for 60 yrs……… they will never figure it out……..
      Wonder why MATH SCORES ARE DOWN………….. LOL……….

    Aug 31, 2022 31:39 PM

    Heard the other day……….on PBS…….. that the “moon trip “would take 6 months to get to the MOON….
    I do not remember it taking more than three days….the last time in the 60’s………. LOL…….
    anybody else hear that one……………????

      Aug 31, 2022 31:46 PM

      But this time it really is rocket science…….That’s too hard for a PBS reporter to understand.

        Aug 31, 2022 31:53 PM

        Could be , ….. they never got to the MOON in the first place….. 🙂 LOL

        CFS…The claim that peeps called astronauts never left earth orbit and that it is was staged moon excursion…I really want to know what you have figured….The thinking i heard is that lead shielding required to protect humans makes going through the Van Allan belt unfeasible due MASSIVE WEIGHT…I really do not know which side is correct…

          Sep 01, 2022 01:28 AM

          Regardless as to whether we went to the moon or not, The astronauts that strapped into that saturn 5 rocket had some pretty big kahunas.

    Although, it’s a good discussion and more realistic. We definitely have a homelessness crisis and will only increase in intensity over the next few years. The consequences are going to be dire for our society if this continues. Looks very likely too.

    Robert Kiyosaki Rich Dad Poor Dad backed up all the trucks when silver was $26 an Oz. It’s been about a year and some comments here on the board said he’s not worried about it because back then, the price was lower than what he paid for it.

    It’s substantially lower now. I’m certain he’s sweating it now.

    There’s been a lot of people jumping on the precious metals bandwagon nothing but grief and losses.

    Said it many times over the last 6 or 7 years precious metals is a lottery ticket and people still never give up on it, they’re hurting more now than ever.

    Presently, you have all these buyers that are in substantial losses just waiting at the ready to sell if prices do move higher. Lots of sellers coming to market especially with the economy turning down now too.

    Not only that, it’s a highly manipulated market.

    Many many years wasted chasing a precious metals lottery ticket that never pays off only in rare rare rare circumstances.

    Gold mining companies are very poorly managed companies as well.

    And the ball keeps rolling down hill when it comes to precious metals.

    Lift off, nope… just another pipe dream.

    And, you signed up for it. That’s the precious metals game.

      Sep 01, 2022 01:14 AM

      Once again H.G you are looking at Gold as an investment and not as insurance.
      1971when R Nixon took the U S off the Gold standard, Gold was valued at 35 dollars an ounce U S.
      Today, what is Gold? North of $1700. And this has happened while the U S dollar has lost 80% of it’s purchasing power.
      If you have deep pockets, private placements with warrants can be a very profitable endeavor when it comes to mining stocks.
      If your pockets aren’t that deep, your better off buying bullion and looking at Gold as insurance, and speculate in areas with more lucrative returns if you can find them.

        Sep 01, 2022 01:35 AM

        John, I appreciate the input however once again we’ve been through this already. You should be well aware that I understand everything you outlined above.

        There are many individuals that purchase precious metals for different reasons and yes insurance is one of them however they end up selling their precious metals because of many different circumstances. Force majeure.

        In light of my analysis above, your comments don’t change anything.

        Insurance or no insurance there’s going to be forced liquidation.

        Regarding precious metal mining companies most of them are poorly managed companies. I’ve been around this business for decades. Anyone that has held a mining company long-term with the majority have lost most of their money, if not all.

        Sep 01, 2022 01:12 PM

        John, the 3X leveraged biotech ETFs might be better for him. LABU is a double last 3months.

      Sep 01, 2022 01:55 AM

      Holy Grail, You’re certain Kiyosaki “is sweating” because he bought silver at a higher price than it is now.
      I buy silver and gold. I have never sold any. I have given some away, at times. (Early on, until a learned a hard lesson, I had some stolen) I have bought silver as high as $30 an ounce.
      I am NOT WORRIED. I will buy more probably in future. (I do hold more in stocks than precious metals, but there comes a point in time when it is difficult to sell things when they are about to temporarily go down.)
      I am certain of nothing, but I’m pretty sure Kiyosaki is not worried in the slightest.
      Had he been worried he probably would have bought puts, and later sell those, rather than selling metal, anyway.

        Sep 01, 2022 01:58 PM

        CFS, I don’t know, I’m just speculating because he has a significant investment in silver.

        I’m sure he’s kicking himself, so he is concerned. You have to be with a significant investment.

        Then again, maybe doesn’t give a hoot. LOL

    Sep 01, 2022 01:03 AM

    I will add as well.
    When purchasing precious metal for insurance against those in power who cannot stop spending money they continue to print out of thin air, do your purchases over time. That way you will capture the ups and downs.

      Sep 01, 2022 01:24 AM

      All depends on the particular age of the individual and their investment goals.

      Quite frankly, I would just have a small percentage of net worth in physical precious metals and that’s it.

      Unless of course, you’re a very seasoned trader and investor in the precious metals space. Other than that, people are just asking for major losses and grief they don’t need.

      Timing is everything too. In precious metals though, you better have all your ducks lined up in a row. Very few ever make any money. It’s a lottery ticket for those that want to make a lot of money.

      Bottom line, precious metals space is not lucrative, not at all. Then you have the gamblers that come in and leave empty-handed.

      Ha Ha … You pay your money and take your chances.

      You’re right though, dollar cost averaging. Steady as she goes and don’t get too carried away.

    Soviet America Just Murdered State Department Officials Whistleblowing On Ukraine Crimes

    By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

    A gobsmacking new Security Council (SC) report circulating in the Kremlin today first noting President Putin expressed his “deepest condolences” on the death of Mikhail Gorbachev, the first and only president of the former Soviet Union, says quick to follow was the socialist Western colonial leftist media pumping out articles like “With War in Ukraine, Putin Tries to Unravel Gorbachev’s Legacy”, all of whose themes were based on Ball State University historian Professor Sergei Zhuk having assessed: “Putin has two goals in invading Ukraine, the first of which is to restore the Soviet Union and its ideology…It’s 2022…It’s the 100th anniversary of the creation of the Soviet Union…The first republics which created this union were Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, and three republics from the Caucuses — Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan…One of the first Soviet republics was Ukraine, and his first goal is to restore this situation”, but not once, in any of these lying leftist articles did they factually cite President Putin having declared in 2007: “Anyone who doesn’t regret the passing of the Soviet Union has no heart…Anyone who wants it restored has no brains”.

    As to why every Russian having a brain views the very idea of restoring the Soviet Union as beyond repugnant, this report explains, is because it was one of the most despotic and deadly socialist regimes ever created, whose main leftist Soviet newspapers Pravda (meaning Truth) and Izvestia (meaning News) were widely ridiculed with the joke: “There’s no news in the Truth and no truth in the News!”—an old Soviet joke about leftist media propaganda to support a godless socialist regime worth remembering as articles in America are now appearing like “Fake News Washington Post To Lose Money This Year, May Cut 100 Newsroom Positions”—and for anyone wanting to know where the former Soviet Union is really reemerging, they need look no further than the American non-profit civil rights organization The Rutherford Institute, who, in their just released document “The American Kleptocracy: A Government Of Liars, Thieves, & Lawbreakers”, factually reveals:

    The American kleptocracy (a government ruled by thieves) continues to suck the American people down a rabbit hole into a parallel universe in which the Constitution is meaningless, the government is all-powerful, and the citizenry is powerless to defend itself against government agents who steal, spy, lie, plunder, kill, abuse and generally inflict mayhem and sow madness on everyone and everything in their sphere.

    Almost every tyranny being perpetrated by the U.S. government against the citizenry—purportedly to keep us safe and the nation secure—has come about as a result of some threat manufactured in one way or another by our own government.

    Sep 01, 2022 01:08 AM

    More food…………..
    As to how truly dangerous Soviet America has become for its under socialist siege citizenry is contained in the classified at the highest level “Of Special Importance” portion of this transcript compiled by the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR)— in the very limited portions of this highly classified transcript permitted to be openly discussed among various ministries, SVR analysts first note the American dossier “Black Hole: As Billions In American Arms And Aid Enter Ukraine, US Officials Receive Hand Written Receipts”, wherein it reveals: “Pentagon official, Inspector General Sean O’Donnell, is quoted as saying that Ukrainian officials do their accounting of American equipment and aid with “hand receipts, it’s all paper””—are “hand receipts on paper” for billions-of-dollars worth of American arms and ammunition given to the criminal Ukraine regime compiled by US State Department Foreign Service Officer Shawn O’Donnell, who with her family moved to Bethesda-Maryland only three weeks ago after they were evacuated from Ukraine, where she was a diplomat at the US Embassy in Kyiv—upon returning home, SVR analysts note Foreign Service Officer Shawn O’Donnell and her close friend US State Department Foreign Service Officer Sarah Langenkamp made a clandestine night visit to visit with Republican Party lawmakers at the US Capitol—then SVR analysts note the US State Department announcing yesterday: “We can confirm the deaths of Foreign Service Officers Shawn O’Donnell and Sarah J. Langenkamp in two recent separate incidents”—and are supposed “deaths” that saw both Foreign Service Officer Shawn O’Donnell and Foreign Service Officer Sarah Langenkamp killed by trucks while riding their bikes just days apart.

    Within minutes of the US State Department announcing the supposed “deaths” of Foreign Service Officer Shawn O’Donnell and Foreign Service Officer Sarah J. Langenkamp, this report concludes, US Attorney General Merrick Garland issued an urgent warning memo to Justice Department and FBI personnel reiterating the department’s policy of prohibiting communication with members of the United States Congress—an urgent warning that follows top Republican Party lawmaker US Congressman Jim Jordan shockingly revealing: “Fourteen FBI agents have come to our office as whistleblowers, and they are good people…There are lots of good people in the FBI…It’s the top that’s the problem…But some of these good agents are coming to us telling us this is bologna what’s going on, the political nature now of the Justice Department…And we expect more”—and is a shock revelation now joined by former top US Federal Prosecutor Brett Tolman grimly assessing: “The FBI appears to be unraveling from the inside as allegations mount that the agency’s behavior in the Hunter Biden laptop story may have violated federal law enforcement norms…It is no coincidence in my mind that you have the Joe Rogan interview with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg that reveals that the FBI clearly made a connection of Russian disinformation in the Hunter Biden release”.

    Sep 01, 2022 01:30 AM

    My forecast about 10 days ago shorting gdxj or the individual Junior mining companies is screaming to the upside right now in profits. Clocking in to maybe 12% to 20% in profits. Many of the individual juniors are taking a real beating.

    It looked ugly 10 days ago for the bulls and it looks ugly now for the next several months. Bull traps will be set up between now and the end of the year.

    The forecast, highly likely towards the end of December or the beginning of next year unless we have a world war (a separate analysis), it’s going to be very lucrative to go Long.

    Not really a Rambus fan. He did post some interesting analysis calling for the DYX to rally over the next several years. We’ll, makes perfectly good sense because there’s going to be demand for dollars as individuals unwind their leverage positions and pay off their debts.

    Rambus is basically calling for a bear market in precious metals.

    I witnessed first hand the precious metals space in the late 90s and was extraordinarily heavily invested in junior mining companies. Difficult to get any numbers as far as sentiment however everyone I was associated with and friends thought I was out of my mind investing in precious metals and they loved the dot com stocks tech etc. Everyone and I mean everyone was so negative on precious metals gold was a piece of garbage completely totally a piece of crap. Anyway, I went on to make fortunes and everyone lost fortunes.

    Seems like, this is kind of the repeat from 1980 to the year 2000 when gold put in its final low because gold was hated so bad, I mean literally so bad.

    Precious metals are not hated, not like the era I was discussing just now. No comparison, there’s nothing like now and people are still investing in them.

    We might get there and with much much lower prices I have no idea. Precious metals in my view is a trader’s market right now.
    It’s been a trader’s market for the last 10 years at least.

    Unless you want to do the long-term hold for 50 years. LOL x infinity

    Precious metals are not a wealth-builder in any sense of the word compared to a true asset proven over a period of long time frame like real estate. It’s like comparing apples to oranges, there’s no comparison at all.

    Real estate, requires special attention in the geographic location you’re investing in. More upscale and prestigious type areas avoiding the bread and butter units that have nothing but problems.

    Avoiding bad tenants and evictions. Much time and patience is needed though sorting through qualified tenants and preparing the property for rentals.

    It’s a sure fire way to create real wealth and as part of the investment strategy to have the mortgage paid off in 30 years, all paid for by the rental income. It’s a no brainer and precious metals👎👎 are a piece of garbage in comparison. Complete dog duty.🔨 PM’s are parasites.👇

    Capital gains rate is 28%.

    HELLO. LOL

      Sep 01, 2022 01:40 PM

      I did call a long term bear market in Precious metals when senile Joe was elected…..until he kills the economy AND with it the monetary system.
      I have no doubt he will destroy the U.S. as we know it.

      I have spent the last few years for somewhere better to live…..alas, without success.

        Sep 01, 2022 01:50 PM

        We’ll, LOL… If you called the bear market in precious metals, I have no doubt your second forecast will become a reality. 🎯 I agree.

    Sep 01, 2022 01:46 PM

    It’s too funny !

    No one wants precious metals LOL

    Even with publicly traded companies you can do very well if they have a good business model. You can make fortunes.

    Please explain, if you know anyone personally that has done well financially investing in precious metals. LOL

    Only if they’re in the business as a dealer. How many are those, extremely rare circumstances.

      Sep 01, 2022 01:16 PM

      HG

      I havnt made fortunes investing in PMs, I did tho pay for a condo with “winnings”.
      Paid my existing mortgage off as well. Lined my pockets with cash and metal.

      They go up, they come down, ipt for example, went up from 25 cent to $1.25 aprox and back down to about 30 cents now. Selling at $1.00 was not a bad win.

      There are loads of examples like that, so if a person wants to stay glued to whats happening there is money to be made.

      Read Bobs book, buy whats cheap and sell it when its expensive, dont listen to the “gurus”

        Sep 01, 2022 01:36 PM

        Southfront fan, you’re a rare exception. I would consider you a seasoned precious metals trader and investor.

        And yes, don’t listen to gurus LOL

        Thanks for the comment. You don’t hear of success stories at all. All the success stories are in everything else but precious metals. Real estate being number one.

          Sep 01, 2022 01:41 PM

          Thats true.

          Same as poker, 90% of people that play lose.
          All ya gotta be to win is better than average.

          Even tho you could consider the PM shares as gambling, some might consider gambling a “sin” but personally, I love good sinin. 😉

          Long term investing, I would agree that real estate has been the way to go for a long time.

            Sep 01, 2022 01:00 PM

            Yep, that just about sums things up Southfront fan.

            Holding mining companies long-term, you can’t do it. They’re just trading vehicles with fairly accurate timing involved. Takes a seasoned precious metals trader and investor. A skilled person.

            You can’t beat real estate long-term 30 year mortgage paid off with all the rental income. Although, that takes a lot of patience too and time with the right tenants. Avoiding bread and butter units or residences. Commercial real estate’s really good more stable tenants. Also, just a few or some walls and a restroom. Many times a shared restroom with many of the tenants and so no restroom to deal with on individual units. Just basic construction. All depends on the situation. Tenants requiring improvements and all that stuff.

            It’s all a crap shoot for the short term🎲
