I agree with you, Jeff, that we should not be sending any money overseas but instead fixing the problems of our citizens and in our country. Honestly, I am so sick and tired of our governemt stealing or wasting our tax money. Our government collects trillions (that's 12 zeros - $1,000,000,000,000+) in taxes every year. Just think about how generous Americans would be in helping victims of these natural disasters if we weren't paying so much in taxes!
How does a president āapproveā spending billions without congress? Do they have a presidential foreign aid cookie jar baked into the budgetā¦ I need to look into it more but this seems unconstitutional.
It doesn't appear that anything they are doing now days has anything to do with the Constitution. The Executive Branch, aka the deep state, has usurped all legislative and budgetary functions of the Gov't. Congress is just a rubber stamp for PR purposes to keep the voters fooled. Quite literally, the DoD and the NeoCons own the entire Gov't. We are in the hands of madmen and these madmen are at war with the American people... and they are attacking us on every front without actually pointing a gun at us... yet.
My biggest concern in terms of self-defense is being able to defend me and my family from the increasingly organized, random violence from the 30 million illegal invaders, a vast number of which are single, military age men without families. Has anyone ever read "Lord of the Flies" by Golding?
I must have read Lord of the Flies over 50 years ago but it was so disturbing, it really stuck in my mind. From my hazy memory, what it does is illustrate, in a microcosm, the mentality that takes over a society when there is a total breakdown of law and familial structure. All law and government is based on familial structure and this is why Marxists and Satanists try to destroy the family first. When I consider the tens of millions of single, military age men without families who have invaded our country with cultural attitudes that hate Christianity, I see Lord of the Flies. The best word to describe my reaction is "Chilling".
There are hundreds of thousands of outstretched palms waiting to be greased, inside government and out. They steal from the American people. Their day is fast coming.
And it is not just Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan either. We send so much money to so many countries all around the world! I wouldnāt mind so much if it were only in cases of natural disasters, but itās ongoing and Iām sure most of that money is siphoned off by corrupt people along the way and doesnāt really do much to help anyone in the countries itās sent to š
In as much as the Deep State will simply "print up" trillions of dollars to fund anything they want, it appears that the whole purpose of "taxation" is to keep Americans progressively impoverished. But as Shayne implies, there are limits built into the universe. At some point, the USG Empire will reach the same wall of financial insolvency that the USSR reached and when they do, the whole system will collapse taking us all with it. This process has already started. When the rest of the world will no longer buy American debt and withdraws from the "dollar reserve " system, as the BRICS have, then at that point the USG empire will collapse. The whole debt pyramid will implode.
I read you line of comment here today, and I cannot disagree with it ... not in the least part.
The collapse of the last embers of the American Republics ended with The Counterfeit Money Act of 1913 (Federal Reserve) because counterfeit begets more counterfeit and in ever more expanding spheres of 'funding'. That is, until the 'money' runs out ... that is, is discredited ... and nobody no longer wants it (think world-wide dumping of treasuries).
The old constitutions have been long ago discarded by daily habit except for the necessary lip service which must be paid in order to keep the counterfeit illusion of government semi-alive. Instead, we now are 'governed' by a murderous, looting mafia of competing warlords. The unholy spectacle is both revolting and pathetic. And they will liquidate anything in 'their' path.
You described that in the most starkly and clear terms possible... Exactly. When no one will buy a Treasury, then the game is over and the oligarchs skip town with their loot. In the meantime they will 'liquidate' anyone to keep the game going.
Well, sovereign entities are already downsizing US Treasury obligations on their balance sheets and buying gold with the proceeds. And the Bank Cartel sees this. And we are hearing that the Fed is now not only the lender of last resort, but also the buyer of last resort. And what is the Fed bank buying? I hear it is general equites which are, after all, somewhat 'tangible' ... even if not as tangible as gold, silver, oil and other basic commodities. And so, the Cartel and Friends will always skip town in some tangible way while leaving the dummies (and even the smart unfortunates) hold the debt bag, and the brunt of the fallout thereof.
I heard an interesting tidbit. I heard that BRICS Plus did a trial run on the Unit involving a UAE transaction. And I heard that BRICS cleared the Unit transaction through the BIS at which point my ears fell off ... and I am still looking for them. If so, this is significant (but how I cannot precisely say). But it would seem to imply that the real architecture of the new world monetary clearing system would be multipolar ... including the dollar as one of two, possibly three major 'reserve' currencies (units of account). This would also have major implications on any dollar reset. And as a real wild speculation, this might also suggest that the next Selection Candidate is indeed Trump as the bankers may well realize that for the sake of stability, a monetary reset requires someone smarter and more sober and schooled than the Camel. Nonetheless, and moreover ... put this thought against Powell most recent odd remark that it is 'possible to have more than one reserve currency' (bearing in mind that Fed chairs don't talk like this just for the fun of it!)
Also, more than one world reserve currency adds a pretext to ending wild US/Fed money printing. That is, the necessity to compete by implement sound fical/monetary policy. And then add in the multi-generational narrative roll back going on ... and maybe pieces are beginning to line up. ???
(P.S. I am still look for my ears. They must be somewhere. Maybe in my room? However, if I don't find them, no big deal. Because DeWife says I am blind and I figure that I might as well add in deaf.)
Then I saw this...................................
63 central banks are implementing Basel III which includes the widespread practice of ābail-insā to rescue failing banks
Yesterday, the Bank for International Settlements announced that its member jurisdictions have made significant progress in implementing the final elements of Basel III.
Basel III includes wide acceptance of bail-in as a way of rescuing failing banks. Unlike a bailout, which involves external assistance (often from taxpayers), a bail-in restructures the bankās liabilities internally which includes taking the money you have on deposit and in savings accounts, as these form part of the bankās liabilities, and converting them from cash you can use into something else, e.g. shares in the bank.
In other words, it is a bailout by the taxpayers but without the government as the middleman. As a depositor or saver, the bail-in conditions will not be negotiated with you...
Here's a question for you. Which will rise or drop faster on balance in relationship to one another in a net balance determination, gold or bailout extractions? And factoring in real purchasing power?
I.e., if gold goes down in USD terms, but the price of goods and services drops faster, are you richer or poorer?
I believe our currency is in trouble too. What I don't know is what I should do about it. The only advice I ever see is to buy gold, and that advice is coming from companies that sell gold. So it's hard to tell if that's really the best thing to do.
What one does depends upon the size of one's portfolio because as the size of a portfolio alters the scaling of one's thinking. That is, someone with hundred of thousands and millions to plunk down does not think like someone with only a thousands or tens of thousands 'under self-management', so to speak..
I always tell people to start out with physically held silver and gold. First buy US 90% coin silver (1964 and before, and also called 'junk silver') starting with dimes and quarters because dimes and quarters are spendable in small units. I have bought larger denomiated size when the price is attractive. For this reason I have also bought real copper US pennies, mostly 'wheat' pennies. After one has enough of that, then gold is fine. I have bought tenth, quarter and half ounce gold coins because this is more spendable if I ever wanted to use gold to buy something. Most of my gold purchases, however, are in one ounces coins (mostly US Gold Eagles, Canadian Maples Leaves and Krugerrands) because of lower premiums over spot. After that I buy gold and silver stocks (majors and royality streamers). After that I buy production domestic oil companies mid-tier with a solid history of dividend payouts, and I buy these only when oil stocks are dirt cheap and nobody wants them.
That's what I do. Maybe some day I may by general equities, but only when they are dirt cheap, with low debt loads and a history of good dividend payout. Again that what I do is what I do, and in no way is what I do to be construed as investment advice.
My guess is that we are at a point once again similar to that of 2001 with gold and silver finally ready to rocket launch. And I like the shiny stuff because that is what the big boys/central banks have been stack now ever since the 2008/2009 bust which was never fixed, only papered over.
I also buy and stock food stuffs (prepper type long storage) and hope that I never have to eat that crap.
Wow. Thanks for the latest. Hard to fathom, voluntarily giving up dominance in power. I'm still of the mind the best way out is to scrap the debt-based Fed system. Not educated or smart enough to conceive or map out a multi polar system. Still gives "THEM" control. Not in my interest as far as I can see. -?
It is very difficult to figure this all out since the Central Banker 'insiders' never telegraph in great detail. They just drop hints. And they are want to largely speak in two principle languages ... Word Saladese and Gibberish. Powell's 'there could be more than one world reserver' looks to me to be a bomb shell.
The second 'big statement' Powell has made has to do with spending. That is, Powell has clearly indicated that the US deficit spending in the trillions is 'unsustainable'.
The third Western Banker Cartel problem is that the Woke Political Class has taken over 'the company store' and the bankers want it back (control).
I submit that these three problems are interconnected. And that perhaps being 'the world's single reserve unit of account' is also 'unsustainable'. Add these elements to what appears to be an ongoing Multi-Generational Super-Narrative shift (Musk, Milei, Tucker Carlson and others promoting it), and something big is going on.
You know who approves these aid packages? CONGRESS! Where the f-ck are they on this disaster? Put together an aid package for it and dare Democrats to vote against it! Make Creepy Uncle Joe and Kamaltoe veto it! This is exactly why Republicans are feckless losers.
Iāve got 2 useless and d@ngerous D senators. Useless. When Louisiana was suffering from Katrina and GW was comfy in Air Force 1 flying high above the human agony I called Durbin every day, practically crying. All I got was a canned message from staffers. I dislike him intensely. Duckworth just as useless.
I remember that. She should never have been sworn in because she doesn't live in CA. All these things add to my belief that our country is done. It hurts my heart. I grew up just being in awe of the fact that I was blessed to be born here. And now look at where we are.
But Iām sure weāll get a newsletter with a survey from them soon. My R reps like to send stuff like, ādo you agree with the Ukraine spending?ā Or āare you concerned about the border?ā surveys. You fill out the survey and nothing ever happens. But they got to virtue signal that they care enough to put it into an online survey. True humanitarians. š
But are they? Seems JB āapprovesā spending foreign aid constantly. Billions? Does congress bake in a slush fund each budget for discretional foreign aid?
I understand that. I was responding to your comment on the fact that Congress approves these packages. But if Congress isn't in session, how did the aid package get approved? Our government isn't operating the way it's supposed to at all. Yes, Johnson should call an emergency session, but why would he when whoever is running our country can just unilaterally hand out whatever money it wants to whomever it pleases?
Same question I have. Are they building in a discretionary spending (Billions) into the main budget that the pres can allocate any time with a signature? Is the spending being reallocated from another budget? House and Senate are not passing these random foreign aid gifts.
" āIsrael says it has secured $8.7 billion U.S. aid package.ā Three days ago, Responsible Statecraft ran a story headlined, āBiden 'surges' $8 billion in aid to Ukraine, this senator wants guardrails on it.ā Yesterday, Reuters ran a story headlined, āBiden approves $567 mln in defense support for Taiwan, White House says.ā "
.... " people in North Carolina might not have food, water, or houses ..."
From day 1. I said to hubby almost immediately in January 2021 that I felt like war was declared on the American people. Then later the person who occupies the Commander in Chief position called all MAGA "domestic terrorists." Few realize that is an official designation. So....
For a little inspiration, read/listen to Matt Taibbi's talk at the Save the Republic event over the weekend. Racket News is his Substack.
If Congress holds the purse strings and the House is now run by Republicans, how is it that Biden can seemingly in his nap time, fund millions and billions wherever he wants. Remember how Trump fought tooth and nail for any money to fund the border wall?
The Democrats don't obey the rule of law. They just do as they wish and act like our tax money is their personal piggy bank. As far as having a majority in the house, you have to have both house and senate with enough of a majority to override a veto to get anything passed so while we hold a small majority, it's useless which is why congressional votes matter as much as if nor more than presidential votes.
Iām guessing they have a mechanism built into the budget with a foreign aid slush fund or they can pull from one budget item and reallocate. I donāt know how, but congress is not passing these.
Speaking as a Republican involved in the party: let that question be your introduction to the UniParty. If Republican office holders believed in our platform and would fight for it the way Democrats fight for unconstitutional stuff, we'd be in much better shape, but they won't and we're not.
Every R in congress should be on strike. Stop the machine for a time. During their strike they should be making media rounds (as many MSM and alternative media outlets as possible), going into these devastated areas and exposing the truth, helping these victims of our failed government.
Unlike Ukraine and Taiwan, Israel delivers! Taking out the Middle East Terrorist network heads and working to insure that Iran is unable to create nuclear weapons with which to threaten ultimately all the world, is a mighty deed of Biblical proportions. The world has not awakened to the significance of this action, but they will. The Sunni Muslims across the world are rejoicing about the deaths of the evil ones, who have caused such death and misery for fellow Arabs.
My daughter is in Morganton, we are in Oxford, we drove 3 1/2 hours there with our smaller generator and 2 chainsaws, their driveway had a tree in it, we helped them clear that, we went across the street as they couldn't get out whatsoever with the power lines and trees down, we cleared most of the trees in their driveway, made a hole big enough for their car to get out and then went next door from my daughter's place, took the limbs that had crushed the top back corner of their van, thankfully no windows were crushed, and got that free and was working on the tree when both our chainsaws busted and that was the end of the day. They had no water, they do on boil to use now, still no internet or power. Will find out in about a week when their crawlspace basement is dry enough to see if their water heater still works or if they will have to get a new one. The washer and dryer were put up on cinder blocks and the water still got to them, hopefully they will still work. My other daughter in TN will have to fly to see us this coming weekend now as hwy 40 is in the ravine in the pass between NC and TN, and hwy 26 through Ashville is closed down, the only other way around is up through VA and come down. But Morganton is a huge mess!! They are about an hour East from Ashville and got the eye just like Ashville did, but they are safe and doing ok, thank God for that!!!
Despite the lack of help from the state and federal govt, thankfully at least Florida is willing to come help, Ashville needs the greatest help and the mountainous region, there are probably many out in the boonies back there that haven't been checked on, I am sure. We still came together as a community (family) for her area.
So question, just read, as I commented before finishing reading the article, how can she set up or request Starlink? She has no internet right now because of the hurricane and she works from home?
The day we went, I 40 W was closed just before her exit, by I77, for all vehicles except emergency, we got to her just in time. Going through the pass however, it was the eastbound 40 that is down in the ravine, closed indefinitely. Scary how that fell and how much traffic goes that way every day!!!!!!
From what Ive heard I-26 is open all the way thru asheville to exit 3 right before tennessee. I-40 is actually open up the mountain to at least black mountain but I believe I heard swannanoa even though the cell alerts say 40 is closed, they just want to keep the traffic to a minimum for relief efforts.
Mercuryone.org is a better option. One hundred percent of donated funds go to relief efforts, and they already have 2 helicopters on site. This group was formed by Glenn Beck, and the group helped rescue Americans from Afghanistan when the State Dept. would not.
Of course there are administrative expenses, but those are raised once a year during a fundraiser where attendees know their donations are going to that. When you donate now, 100% goes to relief efforts.
I donāt like that he pushed the vax either, though he did end up with an emergency heart condition afterward, so maybe he learned something. But Samaritanās Purse does a lot of good, theyāre just not fully awake on the medical system yet but definitely offer some essential crisis care. Hopefully theyāll keep waking up
Also, it is a bloated business with almost a Billion in expenses. Seriously a business model disguised as a charity. Marketing, Travel and salaries are where your donations go.
Thank you! I've worked for Samaritan's Purse for years and have toured their facilities and seen the exceptional work they do, all in the name of Jesus, with love and high quality in everything. Samaritan's Purse will use your donation wisely.
I have also seen Samaritanās Purse in action, when a severe rainstorm in 2020, dumped 15 inches of rain in about 12 hours overwhelming two aging dams and flooding completely a small town at the base, and sending flood waters for miles. This was in the heated midst of covid. Local volunteers and Samaritanās Purse were there long before our blue governor decided to show up, mask and all.
Many Americans are not very familiar with Samaritans Purse. In an emergency the less respected by many but more familiar gofundme will help more people quickly and after all itās an emergency.
Five people from our one small N E GA mountain church alone are SamPurse response volunteers. They arrived in Boone and Asheville yesterday and are already deployed, alongside hundreds of other folks.
Thank goodness for the volunteers! I saw on the Samaritan's Purse website that you can sign up to volunteer. They started coordinating groups yesterday and currently plan to continue until Nov. 2nd.
How are the NE GA mountain communities? We have vacationed in the beautiful Ellijay/Blue Ridge area and Iāve been concerned about how that area might have fared but havenāt been able to find much info. Everyone doing okay up there?
Samaritans Purse, Cajun Navy and JAARS (missionary aviation organization based in NC) are all taking donations for rescue efforts they are currently active in š
Glad we donāt need to depend on Go Fund Me (or the federal government!) to get help there!
Yes. To clamp down on givers to a horrible disaster not that far from our own doorsteps would not be a good look. Iām giving quick there and sort it out as time goes. God knows what this is for and he will sort this out too.
I imagine much of the money raised via the GFM account will be shunted to Samaritan's Purse as Trump appears to have an established relationship with it and with Franklin Graham.
Many people in our area have been having trouble with Amazon even delivering what's been ordered. My husband has had an order placed twice and it has not been delivered either time. Good feedback on-line for the seller but our feedback will not be good.
It is simply mind boggling to me that we are funding all these overseas wars (killing people and lining politicians pockets) while our own people so need help (we're essentially killing people here by not providing rapid, massive aid). The financial, physical and psychological damage from the hurricane is nearly unimaginable. What has happened to any sense of human values and priorities?
If Trump is a multi-billionaire as he claims, he has plenty of money to go around. Giving up a few hundred thousand in salary is like us giving up a few dollars. It's nothing. It's a public relations tactic.
Well I do not know what he has personally given. However I do know he is facing about twice that amount in legal fines and additional many untold millions in legal fees.
Just an FYI from a Tarheel resident not affected by Helene: our governor, Cooper, stood at a podium and told people to listen for updates...WITH WHAT, YOU NINCOMPOOP?!?
No power, no service...as well as no water, no food, no roads.
Nero.
Lt. Governor Mark Robinson, running for governor, is on the ground helping with the efforts. He's the real deal.
Well, there are those 200+ radio stations that the FCC just approved for Soros to buy. Surely they will all broadcast real news and information, right?
I did donate $22 to the GFM as requested, but reserved a larger portion of my donation to go directly to Samaritans Purse. They are working with Trump already, but they stay on the ground, day and night until people are back on their feet. I will ā $2.00ā that donation too, but I just wanted people to know they are definitely legit.
This is what I did too, so our ā2ā signature is on the Go Fund Me, but the bulk of my giving will go the buying supplies off the Cajun Navyās Amazon wishlist on their website. Theyāre also already on the ground.
Also, JAARS (missionary aviation organization based in NC) is flying rescue missions currently and linked on their Facebook page if any one wants to make donations for aviation fuel.
Per Jeffās request, the Coffee&Covid army always gives donations that end in ā2ā, ($12, $32, $102) so that it is easy for us and others to see our collective impact, even if there isnāt another way to quantify or āsignā on a donation site. If a site shows donation amounts, you can scroll through and see that while your $22 didnāt seem like much, a hundred or thousand $22s are encouraging and a reminder we are a team, a community and just not alone š
Instead og GoFundMe (who stopped money donated to Canadian truckers) we should contribute to MercuryOne.org. All donations go to relief, and they had relief helicopters in North Carolina yesterday. Mercury One was started by Glenn Beck.
In the future Israel as a nation will recognize Jesus as the Messiahā¦
āAnd one will say to him, āWhat are these wounds between your arms?ā Then he will answer, āThose with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.āā
Zechariah 14:16 Then everyone who survives of all the nations that have come against Jerusalem shall go up year after year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts..."
GoFundMe? Nope. Iām not a goldfish, I actually remember what they did to the truckers. Never will I ever give one dime through that platform. I appreciate the spirit of what Trump is trying to do here, butā¦.no.
Definitely with you, Based and all who see GoFundMe for what they are, but Iām wondering if Jeff isnāt thinking that donating to Trumpās GoFundMe account isnāt a way to show support to both our neighbors and to Trump. If he fails to get big numbers, the MSM has one more point of ridicule against him.
Sometimes there are no adequate words in our vocabularyā¦ we live in the beautiful state of North Carolina. We are several hrs from the catastrophe. May

Gina Raimondoās indifference and Pete BuddahJudge (I canāt spell his last name) MIA, is both stunning in a sane world and totally expected in DC Clown World. The Dockworker strike has the potential to send America into hyper inflation and recession. Turbo Stagflation, just before the Election, when Harris/Walz are floundering, is political suicide. Unless, they are planning a monster October surprise.
I completely agree with you. Watching lefties defend this sick administration right now is making me furious. They are claiming that FEMA was signed before the hurricane touched ground - so shut up, your money is coming. Are they just too dumb to realize FEMA won't cover a fraction of the $ needed? A couple of people told them that and they said "is it our fault you didn't buy flood insurance?" And that point I had to stop reading because I was so mad. Asheville is not in a flood zone at all, why would they buy it? I had to quit before I typed something like "I really hope it hits you next" because any American that is being nasty to other Americans right now who've lost everything really deserves the wrath next. There is just no excuse for how our gov't continues to send billions overseas and neglects Americans. I know why they do it, the favors and the skimming off the top for themselves. That doesn't make it any less infuriating.
... like Kamala swooping in to negotiate the "right" deal and save the day, gaining support from unions across the continent. Unless Donald "Art of the Deal" Trump were to beat her to it
Tribbles - what would I do?, I would be totally unable to abandon these little creatures. The very, very sad part of this is that these weren't feral kittens that would have been reluctant to come out of the buses but they were clearly socialized felines in need of help because some despicable irresponsible soul (may they rot in hell) abandoned them there.
Iām not a fan of cats, but that clip was too cute, especially the ironic āhot diggity dogā part. Two options for those refugee kittens: put them on a bus to NYC where there are plenty of rats, or send them to you (bless you!) and cat ladies on Marthaās Vineyard. Do NOT send them to Springfield.
Thank you for providing the source for our donation, Jeff! There was No Way I was donating to the Red Cross!!
In other news:
In the midst of all the regional turmoil, the American Agency for International Development USAID, which belongs to the American government, announced yesterday a generous aid to the Palestinians. According to its official announcement, it will transfer $336 million to the Palestinians "as additional humanitarian aid to the residents of Gaza and the West Bank affected by the ongoing conflict, which has forced more than 1.9 million Palestinians to be displaced from their homes and more than 2.1 million Palestinians to face acute food insecurity."
I know a whole bunch of Americans who are faced with acute food insecurity!
I want to scream in frustration and anger. š” . That democrat district guy better not come around to my back door anytime soon.

(P.S. I am still look for my ears. They must be somewhere. Maybe in my room? However, if I don't find them, no big deal. Because DeWife says I am blind and I figure that I might as well add in deaf.)
Then I saw this...................................
63 central banks are implementing Basel III which includes the widespread practice of ābail-insā to rescue failing banks
Yesterday, the Bank for International Settlements announced that its member jurisdictions have made significant progress in implementing the final elements of Basel III.
Basel III includes wide acceptance of bail-in as a way of rescuing failing banks. Unlike a bailout, which involves external assistance (often from taxpayers), a bail-in restructures the bankās liabilities internally which includes taking the money you have on deposit and in savings accounts, as these form part of the bankās liabilities, and converting them from cash you can use into something else, e.g. shares in the bank.
In other words, it is a bailout by the taxpayers but without the government as the middleman. As a depositor or saver, the bail-in conditions will not be negotiated with you...
https://expose-news.com/2024/10/02/63-central-banks-are-implementing-basel-iii/
Here's a question for you. Which will rise or drop faster on balance in relationship to one another in a net balance determination, gold or bailout extractions? And factoring in real purchasing power?
I.e., if gold goes down in USD terms, but the price of goods and services drops faster, are you richer or poorer?
I believe our currency is in trouble too. What I don't know is what I should do about it. The only advice I ever see is to buy gold, and that advice is coming from companies that sell gold. So it's hard to tell if that's really the best thing to do.
What one does depends upon the size of one's portfolio because as the size of a portfolio alters the scaling of one's thinking. That is, someone with hundred of thousands and millions to plunk down does not think like someone with only a thousands or tens of thousands 'under self-management', so to speak..
I always tell people to start out with physically held silver and gold. First buy US 90% coin silver (1964 and before, and also called 'junk silver') starting with dimes and quarters because dimes and quarters are spendable in small units. I have bought larger denomiated size when the price is attractive. For this reason I have also bought real copper US pennies, mostly 'wheat' pennies. After one has enough of that, then gold is fine. I have bought tenth, quarter and half ounce gold coins because this is more spendable if I ever wanted to use gold to buy something. Most of my gold purchases, however, are in one ounces coins (mostly US Gold Eagles, Canadian Maples Leaves and Krugerrands) because of lower premiums over spot. After that I buy gold and silver stocks (majors and royality streamers). After that I buy production domestic oil companies mid-tier with a solid history of dividend payouts, and I buy these only when oil stocks are dirt cheap and nobody wants them.
That's what I do. Maybe some day I may by general equities, but only when they are dirt cheap, with low debt loads and a history of good dividend payout. Again that what I do is what I do, and in no way is what I do to be construed as investment advice.
My guess is that we are at a point once again similar to that of 2001 with gold and silver finally ready to rocket launch. And I like the shiny stuff because that is what the big boys/central banks have been stack now ever since the 2008/2009 bust which was never fixed, only papered over.
I also buy and stock food stuffs (prepper type long storage) and hope that I never have to eat that crap.
Wow. Thanks for the latest. Hard to fathom, voluntarily giving up dominance in power. I'm still of the mind the best way out is to scrap the debt-based Fed system. Not educated or smart enough to conceive or map out a multi polar system. Still gives "THEM" control. Not in my interest as far as I can see. -?
Hope you locate them ears...
It is very difficult to figure this all out since the Central Banker 'insiders' never telegraph in great detail. They just drop hints. And they are want to largely speak in two principle languages ... Word Saladese and Gibberish. Powell's 'there could be more than one world reserver' looks to me to be a bomb shell.
The second 'big statement' Powell has made has to do with spending. That is, Powell has clearly indicated that the US deficit spending in the trillions is 'unsustainable'.
The third Western Banker Cartel problem is that the Woke Political Class has taken over 'the company store' and the bankers want it back (control).
I submit that these three problems are interconnected. And that perhaps being 'the world's single reserve unit of account' is also 'unsustainable'. Add these elements to what appears to be an ongoing Multi-Generational Super-Narrative shift (Musk, Milei, Tucker Carlson and others promoting it), and something big is going on.
Bingo Brother! Bingo....... and it's a lot closer than we want to believe and has been and is being well orchestrated.

I am with you!
We have the technology for everyone to be able to designate exactly where their money should go.
One million $1,000,000. Thatās a million millionaires with 1 trillion.
You know who approves these aid packages? CONGRESS! Where the f-ck are they on this disaster? Put together an aid package for it and dare Democrats to vote against it! Make Creepy Uncle Joe and Kamaltoe veto it! This is exactly why Republicans are feckless losers.
Iāve got 2 useless and d@ngerous D senators. Useless. When Louisiana was suffering from Katrina and GW was comfy in Air Force 1 flying high above the human agony I called Durbin every day, practically crying. All I got was a canned message from staffers. I dislike him intensely. Duckworth just as useless.

California has to take the cake. Padillo and some woman from Baltimore (!) who was appointed to take the late Feinstein's seat.
I remember that. She should never have been sworn in because she doesn't live in CA. All these things add to my belief that our country is done. It hurts my heart. I grew up just being in awe of the fact that I was blessed to be born here. And now look at where we are.

But Iām sure weāll get a newsletter with a survey from them soon. My R reps like to send stuff like, ādo you agree with the Ukraine spending?ā Or āare you concerned about the border?ā surveys.

But are they? Seems JB āapprovesā spending foreign aid constantly. Billions? Does congress bake in a slush fund each budget for discretional foreign aid?
Did they though? Aren't they in recess?
Call an emergency session.
But they haven't called an emergency session. So on whose authority is Biden giving all this money away? I thought the House held the purse strings.
No clue. But it doesnāt change the fact that Mike Johnson can call an emergency session for this.
I understand that. I was responding to your comment on the fact that Congress approves these packages. But if Congress isn't in session, how did the aid package get approved? Our government isn't operating the way it's supposed to at all. Yes, Johnson should call an emergency session, but why would he when whoever is running our country can just unilaterally hand out whatever money it wants to whomever it pleases?
Thank you for your comments today. Very clear headed.
Same question I have. Are they building in a discretionary spending (Billions) into the main budget that the pres can allocate any time with a signature? Is the spending being reallocated from another budget? House and Senate are not passing these random foreign aid gifts.
SOOO SAD, AND SOOO TRUE, Flippin'!

Just want to make sure readers got this segment :
" āIsrael says it has secured $8.7 billion U.S. aid package.ā Three days ago, Responsible Statecraft ran a story headlined, āBiden 'surges' $8 billion in aid to Ukraine, this senator wants guardrails on it.ā Yesterday, Reuters ran a story headlined, āBiden approves $567 mln in defense support for Taiwan, White House says.ā "
.... " people in North Carolina might not have food, water, or houses ..."
That is a HUGE middle finger from our government! š”
Yes it is
From day 1. I said to hubby almost immediately in January 2021 that I felt like war was declared on the American people. Then later the person who occupies the Commander in Chief position called all MAGA "domestic terrorists." Few realize that is an official designation. So....
For a little inspiration, read/listen to Matt Taibbi's talk at the Save the Republic event over the weekend. Racket News is his Substack.
If Congress holds the purse strings and the House is now run by Republicans, how is it that Biden can seemingly in his nap time, fund millions and billions wherever he wants. Remember how Trump fought tooth and nail for any money to fund the border wall?
The Democrats don't obey the rule of law. They just do as they wish and act like our tax money is their personal piggy bank. As far as having a majority in the house, you have to have both house and senate with enough of a majority to override a veto to get anything passed so while we hold a small majority, it's useless which is why congressional votes matter as much as if nor more than presidential votes.
Iām guessing they have a mechanism built into the budget with a foreign aid slush fund or they can pull from one budget item and reallocate. I donāt know how, but congress is not passing these.
Speaking as a Republican involved in the party: let that question be your introduction to the UniParty. If Republican office holders believed in our platform and would fight for it the way Democrats fight for unconstitutional stuff, we'd be in much better shape, but they won't and we're not.
Yes. This is the real message from these filthy DEMons. Go bail water. Let them eat mud.
LOUD AND CLEAR. The only thing our s-elected officials "feel" for their constituencies is CONTEMPT!
Every R in congress should be on strike. Stop the machine for a time. During their strike they should be making media rounds (as many MSM and alternative media outlets as possible), going into these devastated areas and exposing the truth, helping these victims of our failed government.
Got it! And maaan it stings....
Unlike Ukraine and Taiwan, Israel delivers! Taking out the Middle East Terrorist network heads and working to insure that Iran is unable to create nuclear weapons with which to threaten ultimately all the world, is a mighty deed of Biblical proportions. The world has not awakened to the significance of this action, but they will. The Sunni Muslims across the world are rejoicing about the deaths of the evil ones, who have caused such death and misery for fellow Arabs.
Game Changer!

My daughter is in Morganton, we are in Oxford, we drove 3 1/2 hours there with our smaller generator and 2 chainsaws, their driveway had a tree in it, we helped them clear that, we went across the street as they couldn't get out whatsoever with the power lines and trees down, we cleared most of the trees in their driveway, made a hole big enough for their car to get out and then went next door from my daughter's place, took the limbs that had crushed the top back corner of their van, thankfully no windows were crushed, and got that free and was working on the tree when both our chainsaws busted and that was the end of the day. They had no water, they do on boil to use now, still no internet or power. Will find out in about a week when their crawlspace basement is dry enough to see if their water heater still works or if they will have to get a new one. The washer and dryer were put up on cinder blocks and the water still got to them, hopefully they will still work. My other daughter in TN will have to fly to see us this coming weekend now as hwy 40 is in the ravine in the pass between NC and TN, and hwy 26 through Ashville is closed down, the only other way around is up through VA and come down. But Morganton is a huge mess!! They are about an hour East from Ashville and got the eye just like Ashville did, but they are safe and doing ok, thank God for that!!!
So glad you were able to go and help your family and their neighbors.
Despite the lack of help from the state and federal govt, thankfully at least Florida is willing to come help, Ashville needs the greatest help and the mountainous region, there are probably many out in the boonies back there that haven't been checked on, I am sure. We still came together as a community (family) for her area.
So question, just read, as I commented before finishing reading the article, how can she set up or request Starlink? She has no internet right now because of the hurricane and she works from home?
Glad you could get in and help and they are ok. I just saw that 40 east has been opened but don't know the details.
The day we went, I 40 W was closed just before her exit, by I77, for all vehicles except emergency, we got to her just in time. Going through the pass however, it was the eastbound 40 that is down in the ravine, closed indefinitely. Scary how that fell and how much traffic goes that way every day!!!!!!
Wow, thank-you for this update.
From what Ive heard I-26 is open all the way thru asheville to exit 3 right before tennessee. I-40 is actually open up the mountain to at least black mountain but I believe I heard swannanoa even though the cell alerts say 40 is closed, they just want to keep the traffic to a minimum for relief efforts.
Hallelujah! I have service again! Good morning from the slightly soiled mountains of North Carolina!
The Lake Lure region appears to be a bit more than slightly soiled. Nevertheless, we are glad you are all right.
Yay!! Glad to hear your service is back!
Barf, GoFundMe? Never. I donāt care who started it or what big names donate to it. Iāll donate to Samaritanās Purse.
Mercuryone.org is a better option. One hundred percent of donated funds go to relief efforts, and they already have 2 helicopters on site. This group was formed by Glenn Beck, and the group helped rescue Americans from Afghanistan when the State Dept. would not.
Iāll donate there
Oops turns out they take 33%
Do a $2 increment anyway!
Not based on 2022 report. More like 66%. Rest for admin and fundraising.
https://mercuryone.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/M1-2022-ANNUAL-Report.pdf
Of course there are administrative expenses, but those are raised once a year during a fundraiser where attendees know their donations are going to that. When you donate now, 100% goes to relief efforts.
Thanks! I heard Glenn Beck talking about this this morning to people who are on the ground and the helicopters are busy bringing supplies
Good to know. Thank you.
Wow. Thatās pretty amazing
I won't. Franklin Graham told everyone to dutifully get their vaxx. Who knows how many people foolishly trusted him, and did it?
I donāt like that he pushed the vax either, though he did end up with an emergency heart condition afterward, so maybe he learned something. But Samaritanās Purse does a lot of good, theyāre just not fully awake on the medical system yet but definitely offer some essential crisis care. Hopefully theyāll keep waking up
Also, it is a bloated business with almost a Billion in expenses. Seriously a business model disguised as a charity. Marketing, Travel and salaries are where your donations go.
Educate yourself before casting shade: 6.63% in 2023 for "General and Administrative" with over 85% going to ministry? All forms readily available to the public -- that is accountability. https://www.samaritanspurse.org/our-ministry/financial-accountability/
Samaritanās Purse Or Operation Airdrop. Iām surprised GoF/*#ā¬Me even let Trump create a donation site!
Me too! šš¼Go Fund Me...
Thank you! I've worked for Samaritan's Purse for years and have toured their facilities and seen the exceptional work they do, all in the name of Jesus, with love and high quality in everything. Samaritan's Purse will use your donation wisely.
I have also seen Samaritanās Purse in action, when a severe rainstorm in 2020, dumped 15 inches of rain in about 12 hours overwhelming two aging dams and flooding completely a small town at the base, and sending flood waters for miles. This was in the heated midst of covid. Local volunteers and Samaritanās Purse were there long before our blue governor decided to show up, mask and all.
Many Americans are not very familiar with Samaritans Purse. In an emergency the less respected by many but more familiar gofundme will help more people quickly and after all itās an emergency.
Five people from our one small N E GA mountain church alone are SamPurse response volunteers. They arrived in Boone and Asheville yesterday and are already deployed, alongside hundreds of other folks.
Thank goodness for the volunteers! I saw on the Samaritan's Purse website that you can sign up to volunteer. They started coordinating groups yesterday and currently plan to continue until Nov. 2nd.
Thats wonderful.
How are the NE GA mountain communities? We have vacationed in the beautiful Ellijay/Blue Ridge area and Iāve been concerned about how that area might have fared but havenāt been able to find much info. Everyone doing okay up there?

If they don't refuse to release the money as they did during the truckers' convoy in Canada. I will never use GoFundMe again.
Samaritans Purse, Cajun Navy and JAARS (missionary aviation organization based in NC) are all taking donations for rescue efforts they are currently active in š
Glad we donāt need to depend on Go Fund Me (or the federal government!) to get help there!
PRECISELY. That was so shameful
Franklin Graham (Samaritan's Purse) was right next to Trump at the presser. His organization is already there helping.
Yes. To clamp down on givers to a horrible disaster not that far from our own doorsteps would not be a good look. Iām giving quick there and sort it out as time goes. God knows what this is for and he will sort this out too.

I imagine much of the money raised via the GFM account will be shunted to Samaritan's Purse as Trump appears to have an established relationship with it and with Franklin Graham.
I suggest you check out their financial documents, readily available on their website and the IRS's website: https://www.samaritanspurse.org/our-ministry/financial-accountability/
You are incorrect. Use your time productively instead of spreading misinformation.
You are incorrect. Use your time productively instead of spreading misinformation.
Samaritanās Purse is great; Cajun Navy also has an Amazon wishlist to donate hurricane relief supplies, linked in their website š
Many people in our area have been having trouble with Amazon even delivering what's been ordered. My husband has had an order placed twice and it has not been delivered either time. Good feedback on-line for the seller but our feedback will not be good.
Same here!
I don't know why Trump doesn't use the 250 million he got from the stop the steal to send that. Why's he being so stingy?
Remember, because of voter fraud, Trump is not our President right now.
Pennsylvania cheated.
AZ, MI, WI, and GA.
Don't forget.
We gotta keep calling them out.
Correct. Shapiro doesn't care about North Carolina.
It is simply mind boggling to me that we are funding all these overseas wars (killing people and lining politicians pockets) while our own people so need help (we're essentially killing people here by not providing rapid, massive aid). The financial, physical and psychological damage from the hurricane is nearly unimaginable. What has happened to any sense of human values and priorities?
Correct.
He didn't take a penny in salary while he served as our President. I wouldn't call that stingy.
And I cannot imagine how much he has paid out in legal fees with all of the lawfare.
If Trump is a multi-billionaire as he claims, he has plenty of money to go around. Giving up a few hundred thousand in salary is like us giving up a few dollars. It's nothing. It's a public relations tactic.
Biden is too. You donāt see him donating his salary!
He has to pay for all those houses on a Senator's pay, I mean President's pay......
Later Jay
Well I do not know what he has personally given. However I do know he is facing about twice that amount in legal fines and additional many untold millions in legal fees.
David A,
Good point, just because heās a billionaire doesnāt mean that he isnāt tight on money. I didnāt think of it from that viewpoint.
So sad.

Lt. Governor Mark Robinson, running for governor, is on the ground helping with the efforts. He's the real deal.

Still praying for Mark Robinsonās candidacy.
Well, there are those 200+ radio stations that the FCC just approved for Soros to buy. Surely they will all broadcast real news and information, right?
All that āforeign aidā money should be immediately re-routed to storm recovery.
I did donate $22 to the GFM as requested, but reserved a larger portion of my donation to go directly to Samaritans Purse. They are working with Trump already, but they stay on the ground, day and night until people are back on their feet. I will ā $2.00ā that donation too, but I just wanted people to know they are definitely legit.
I did the same. Gave to both. Samaritanās Purse is the best, but I always love the feeling of the collective contribution š
This is what I did too, so our ā2ā signature is on the Go Fund Me, but the bulk of my giving will go the buying supplies off the Cajun Navyās Amazon wishlist on their website. Theyāre also already on the ground.
Also, JAARS (missionary aviation organization based in NC) is flying rescue missions currently and linked on their Facebook page if any one wants to make donations for aviation fuel.
I haven't heard of the $2 signature. Can you please explain what this is?
Per Jeffās request, the Coffee&Covid army always gives donations that end in ā2ā, ($12, $32, $102) so that it is easy for us and others to see our collective impact, even if there isnāt another way to quantify or āsignā on a donation site. If a site shows donation amounts, you can scroll through and see that while your $22 didnāt seem like much, a hundred or thousand $22s are encouraging and a reminder we are a team, a community and just not alone š
No problem š
Thank you
Just make a donation that ends in 2.
Such as $12.00, 22.00 32.00 etc.
Easy way to identify all C&C contibutions
Instead og GoFundMe (who stopped money donated to Canadian truckers) we should contribute to MercuryOne.org. All donations go to relief, and they had relief helicopters in North Carolina yesterday. Mercury One was started by Glenn Beck.
Thanks - just donated there - as a Canadian, I feel very strongly about not using GFM.

Gina Raimondoās indifference and Pete BuddahJudge (I canāt spell his last name) MIA, is both stunning in a sane world and totally expected in DC Clown World. The Dockworker strike has the potential to send America into hyper inflation and recession. Turbo Stagflation, just before the Election, when Harris/Walz are floundering, is political suicide. Unless, they are planning a monster October surprise.
I completely agree with you. Watching lefties defend this sick administration right now is making me furious. They are claiming that FEMA was signed before the hurricane touched ground - so shut up, your money is coming. Are they just too dumb to realize FEMA won't cover a fraction of the $ needed? A couple of people told them that and they said "is it our fault you didn't buy flood insurance?" And that point I had to stop reading because I was so mad. Asheville is not in a flood zone at all, why would they buy it? I had to quit before I typed something like "I really hope it hits you next" because any American that is being nasty to other Americans right now who've lost everything really deserves the wrath next. There is just no excuse for how our gov't continues to send billions overseas and neglects Americans. I know why they do it, the favors and the skimming off the top for themselves. That doesn't make it any less infuriating.
Well said and I get those same feelings, so I sympathize.
The surprise will come in November when they steal the election. Again.
But that wouldnāt be surprising.
