I seriously doubt the recipients of such largess will be us taxpayers. [I'd do an "LOL" here, but it's really not funny.] Oh heck, LOL at the BOHICA of the whole thing.

It would be great if that were true. Trump's cabinet is as corrupt as the Dems, and he is getting us into stupid wars.

The first step was the capital gains tax they enacted 3 or 4 years ago.

But there are still 7 states without state income taxes: AK, NV, WY, SD, TX, TN, FL. And NH doesn't tax wages but does tax interest and dividends.

This will not work for US citizens unless they give up their citizenship. And in that case, you get nailed with the exit tax also called FATCA.

Are there any reliable data on the purchases and sales of gold by the governments of China and India?

Are there any reliable data on the amount of gold held by the government of America in the Fort Knox vaults?

Are they important to the rise and fall of gold prices?

Of course they would protest and no doubt Trump will be honored as a hero for freeing Iran. Believe me, if that was his only agenda, he would not have taken that risk.

. . . alleged murderer! You should know by now that effective freedom fighters are destroyed once they become a serious threat to those in control. I will ignore your Ad hominem and assume you don't like the content of my post.

The decline was probably amplified by the need to raise cash to meet margin calls. It wasn't just the price of gold, all the precious metals - gold, silver, platinum and palladium - were hit at the same time. The stock market and Bitcoin are way down also. I expect that many investors are cutting their losses and retreating to cash and treasury bills, which are still generally seen as more of a "safe haven" than gold.

Wonder who gets the $ when sports teams rename stadiums (as a corporate advertising gimmick) every few years (after getting the stadium paid for by taxpayers)?

ThanQ Doc

Don't worry, the TSA union, with our best interests at heart, will have this mess straightened out in no time flat - COUGH COUGH!!

Don't know why someone down voted this article. It's interesting and pertinent to our times and is a valid opinion, so I bumped it up. Technically, the fast spike in gold price was due for a correction, IMHO, so here it may be and is perfectly natural for the investing (speculating?) community. There's been a huge increase in "buy gold" advertising over the past year or two bringing in more buyers than ever before and I expect that demand helped drive the price up. If the amount of money the retail buyer has for commodities like gold is starting to dry up then having a correction is no big deal. With that said, if the underlying value of gold is truly worth more than it is selling for after correcting, the rise will resume.

All are great, thanks Dobrien. The launching umpire had me laugh out loud! Now we know where the bear goes. The "uh-huh, period" look on Franklin's face documents the moment after he said, "A republic, if you can keep it." I think an enterprising entrepreneur could convert that Newsome bridge to nowhere into a very nice elevated miniature golf business, if the permitting and tax boondoggles could ever be worked out.

Having his name on the Kennedy Center in DC has them going apoplectic, LOL. Nothing new about that as around here every time a new company pays to have an old public building renewed they put their name on it. Not to mention pandering politicians renaming public places with DEI names. Standard procedure.

well done

I have my money on Trump.

Amazing how defenders of the murderous regime in Iran come out of the woodwork to protest the deep states proxy terror nation as Trump is destroying their reign.

Our meme cup runneth over. Great work!

well, I despise them both but blumie didn't marry a man . . . When I get the chance I'll send a photo montage I haven't used yet.

That bushy rino was no republican . . .

ThanQ , I really would love to have that sign.

He is the Greatest Troll of all time as well. Lmao they are losing it.

Will the MSM cover it? Only if they can spin it in their direction; otherwise, they'll remain silent. I have absolutely zero hope that they'll ever even approach the middle of the proverbial road.

WhiIe have not seen any recently, the last reports I saw on the inspections of TSA showed that they failed miserably. They repeatedly let many guns, knives, potential explosives, etc. on to planes.

Did McArthur think that when he murdered WW1 US veterans of the Bonus Army in 1932?
