I noticed that the Yahoo supposed end-of-day (5pm Eastern) pricing for paper precious metals rarely agrees with their own intraday price charts.
Today the Ag previous day close was 115 which was about $12 higher than the 5pm previous day trading.
The result was showing that Ag was down $10/oz or more all day today when it was actually up $5/oz compared to the prev day close per their own trading activity charts.
Just an error? Or were they trying to convince retail Ag market that silver was crashing?

If only the rich can afford to buy, then the median price goes very high (even in flyover country.)
Deep pocketed corporate bidding for property obviously exacerbates the ridiculous pricing.
Sellers are advised (by corrupt agents who get windfall profits with high prices) to price property
higher than most ordinary buyers can afford.
So many RE agents are vampires; they should go into politics.

On top of this is a paper to physical ratio of nearly 300:1. Watch the market price from 9-11 AM take its usual dip and then recover throughout the day. This is a paper dump that has been happening for more than a decade. The banks are desperate to cover shorts this time around. Problem for them: Not enough physical on the market.
At post Silver $115 and Gold $5250

I have Type 2 diabetes which gave my left foot Charcot Foot and a reason to see a wound specialist and a bandage nurse to come to my house.
I used to be a Marine and later a corrections officer who could run across the length of a large prison. Now I can't run to save my life.
Today hobbling on my cane, I entered a Mexican restaurant where my oldest grown son celebrated his birthday with a family of four.
I carried my Alabama "constitutional carry" 9mm in a pocket. Why? I look too much like an easy mark to the kind of crooks I used to supervise.

I can't either.

Thanks Dino, with my wife's diabetes constantly crashing, work and the publications it's been difficult to do anything else.

Brutal. Reminds me of a jaguar that's in a local animal rescue. That cat Is around my size and is pure, rippling muscle. It'd have no problem eating a human.

Yeah, very interesting. It's a chicken-egg circle. The beautiful weather and scenery brought in talented people...industries...wealth...tax revenue...huge government...crime...fraud...deficit...escape. Good times make weak men. The real estate prices in many areas of California have not kept up with those in places like Tennessee, Austin, Boise. It's a much more even playing field now. Not even 1 for 1 anymore for many Californians trying to flee...

I've always like the cut of his jib.
He's a straight shooter who knows his history.
Always a pleasure to read his take on things.
I learn from him, I can't say that about too many people these days.

Some of us own rural land and provide a home for meat on the hoof. We occasionally think and talk about what we would do if invaded by the hungry. (Éhes emberek, nem Magyarország emberek.)

Ofc = Of Course.
TPTB = The Powers That Be.

And Google will usually translate these for you.

Maybe one of the neighbors will try to get a selfie next to the bobcats like someone else did with a snow leopard: https://gearjunkie.com/winter/snow-le...

I wish I understood the letters some of you use :-( Is it really so hard to just spell out what you mean???

👍👍

Read, carefully, the first paragraph of Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto. That's exactly the point.

The author's 'solution' points are so simple, relatively easy to implement,
and would be very popular with MAGA supporters.
Doesn't appear rational for the more difficult and offensive, anti-freedom
blunt force methods being implemented instead unless the goals of D.C.
are not what they claim.

I don't know about the rest of the country, but if everyone will pitch in, I'd gladly cram a crowbar into the San Andreas fault line and give a good pull.
I'd love to see the nasty side of Soviet Kalifornia slide off into the Monterey Trench.
There's some scenery there I'd love to see again, but it would look just as good underwater..

The working title for AS was, if I remember correctly, The Strike.

Thanks Jim Dandy. While I don't know him, he always has thoughtful and insightful comments.

I have a different take.

What you SEE is 100% manipuated.
Therefore: "I think we are seeing irreconcilable differences."

Ofc you are. Because TPTB want us fighting each other.

Both sides are being manipulated.
Because THEY cannot afford for us to turn against TPTB.

First, I'd love to have a slice of that smoked brisket! YUMMY! Next, it seems there is a piece of our society that has to find fault with everything anyone else is doing to make life nice and enjoyable. Is it envy? Jealousy? Busy body control freaks? Democrats? I don't know, but we just have to live with them.

Suggestion: See if the neighbor with the brisket will invite you over if you bring some good beer.

This split is just as the parasites in D.C. want it.
We fight each other instead of going after the parasite traitors who are the cause of our pains.

Night Of The Living Dead was not a fictional movie, it was a glimpse in to the future.

I too look at our local NextDoor here in Colorado Springs, and you are right, it ain't pretty. Mostly people looking for help, looking for jobs, needing a ride, or venting crazy leftist ideas. Depressing to look at, because it appears the average person is missing part of their brain, and has zero motivation to get out, find a job, and work. Almost seems like half the population is on the verge of homelessness .

Good article. It points out the strategy if the desire is to get rid of illegal immigrants, then the country has to stop fertilizing and start poisoning the ground they have taken to live on. The notion of government sending out an army of bullies to loot some citizens to "help" other citizens (or lately, non-citizens on a massive scale) may convince some that their government is being benevolent, but in actuality it is building an army of bullies that can slap around the whole population as it desires.

From the article: "If and when the Democrats recapture power and the permanent ruling class, globalist technocracy regains total control instead of its current partial control under the Trump administration, it’s going to unleash absolute hell on “domestic terrorists” — 100 times worse in scope and scale than it did on the January 6th protesters." The left (Marxist Democrats mainly) have already tipped their hand in this respect with their pursuit of President Trump and ANYONE connected to him over the past decade or so. They are following the playbooks of Hitler, Stalin, and Mao and all that remains are massive incarcerations and executions, which IMHO will become reality as soon as they gain the power to do so. The Main Stream Marxist Media is already on board as is a large portion of academia.
