Agree. Several of my neighbors have told us how much they hate Trump and blame him for all the chaos. Trump wasn't the one who created the chaos. The Marxists in our government created the chaos because that is what Marxists and Communists do to get people to beg them to fix the problem. Sheesh it is so hard knowing this and not being able to convice people otherwise.

Absolutely.

There is a lot of room for legitimate fault complaint here, but Trump Agent of Chaos is totally absurdly unfounded. And there is no convincing of these people otherwise because they are incapable of thought mostly because they all mostly grew up in a system which teaches people not to think. Refusal To Think Syndrome is now killing the American Empire, something for which maybe we out to be grateful for.

Asian countries et alia are now discreetly dumping bankrupt US Treasury obligations and buying real goods, like gold. This is a process which cannot be reversed because nobody wants to own an inherently worthless asset now ripe for freefall devaluation. When the musical chairs of US Treasures grinds to a halt funding dries up and there will be no Woke discretionary funding for Woke Everything. Reality will return with wrath forcing people to either think or perish. Many sadly will perish.

(Caveat: if there is no favorable to thinking outcome in 2024, the goose is cooked.)

The neighbors I am talking about are Republicans and voted for Trump in 2016 and 2020 but they feel as though thngs would not be as chaotic if someone other than Trump were to get the Republican nomination. While I understand their thinking, they are mistaken that things would settle down. I personally feel as though Trump is the only one that has the backbone to withstand the constant attacks and bring justice for the treason that has been committed against the US. Anyone else is going to cave for many reasons. I was optimistic when DeSantis entered the race but I have totally lost confidence in him since he is being endorsed by the Bushs. I absolutely hate the Bush family and they deserve to be stripped of their wealth because of Prescott Bush's association and support of the Nazis. (Sorry for the rant.)

Don't be sorry ... and you are totally warranted. I feel about the same, even with the perpetual ambiguities attending things political.

Thanks for going there, daverkb.

I would suggest watching this video:

Long, but maybe it will help many to understand just how precariously perched our country is perched financially and, possibly, what you may need to do to protect your assets.

Hi Jay ... and thanks. The video appears to have the look of a serious piece. And I well value your concern ... and may this help others as well.

As you probably know, the Liquidity Crises has been with us continuously from late August of 2019. And you also probably know, the financial masking by C19 is in large part window dressing cover-up material. Be that as it may, it's been a banner week in the markets. Gold now solidly over 2000. Silver doing okay. Bond yields dropping. Money moving back into equities. Strange world this dying American Empire!

Yes! It looks like Golden Blondie is set to break out of it multi-year handle. It's already gapped up. It just needs to clear $2100.00 and hold above and this will attract widespread attention.

Critical thinking has not been taught or used in education for 50 years now. It shows.

Sadly, most Trump haters could not recognize or explain Marxism even while it's staring them in the face.
