Garrison: President Trump Is Gonna Tariff Even Harder

By majority decision, the Supreme Court has ruled the tariffs put in place by President Trump to be unlawful. Three so-called ‘conservatives’ on the court sided with the lefty judges. Chief Justice John Roberts along with Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch should have sided with Trump and his efforts to make America great again. Instead, they want America to fail, resulting in America becoming a globalist, socialist cesspool. Continue reading

Gold price will hit $6,200 by June: Precious, Industrial Metals Set for Further Gains as Volatility Eases

While commodity prices were volatile at the end of January, precious metals, oil, and industrial metals all posted gains for the month, and as volatility subsides, gold and other key commodities will enjoy supportive fundamentals, according to Dominic Schnider, Head of Commodities & APAC Forex CIO at UBS Wealth Management.

“Precious metals prices, while volatile, rose in January as political, geopolitical, and economic uncertainties drove ‘safe-haven’ demand,” Schnider wrote in a commodity update on Monday. Continue reading

Snyder ~ Breaking Point: A Million Jobs Suddenly Disappear, Foreclosures Rise 32 Percent, and Some Americans Are Now Facing $1,000 Power Bills

I feel quite exasperated right now. Everyone knows that the economic numbers that federal bureaucrats in Washington are feeding us each month are fraudulent. It has been that way for a very long time. The employment numbers are a perfect example of this. Every month they give us a headline number that looks pretty good, and then months later they revise it much lower when nobody is paying attention.

That is the game they want to play, and many of us understand that. But this latest stunt that they have pulled is absolutely astounding. More than a million U.S. jobs suddenly disappeared from the numbers, and they would like us to believe that this is perfectly normal.

How are we supposed to have any faith in the numbers that the BLS releases each month if they are off by this much? Continue reading

Smith: The Dollar’s Fall ~ A Tragedy of Epic Proportions

Das ist nicht goodenzee! Das ist Shiza!

Das ist zer Weimar Republic or America?

America’s republic will soon be riding a massive economic Leviathan while holding a tiger by the tail, that breaks the limits of an ordinary man’s imagination and stretches the limits of logic and reason, once one looks at the hard, empirical data, a thing I am most often loathe to do, if simply because the topic has a tendency to put people to sleep. But what the American society is about to experience over the next decade is unlike anything man has experienced over the course of human history, and if one manages to survive it, in any good fashion, it will be because they recognized the warning signs and prepared well in advance of the catastrophe. Continue reading

Hickman: Another “Temporary” Spending Bill That Still Costs Americans 93 Years Later

In January 1933, a farmer named Wallace Kramp was about to lose everything. A lender in Wood County, Ohio was foreclosing on his farm over an $800 mortgage he couldn’t pay.

Kramp wasn’t a bad farmer. It was actually the government’s fault: during World War I, the US government had urged farmers to plant as much as they could to feed the troops and war-torn Europe.

Families like the Kramps borrowed money and used the loan proceeds to expand production. But then the war ended; European agriculture recovered, and demand for US agriculture vanished. But the American farmers’ debts didn’t. Continue reading

Haggith: Big Beautiful Bill Eats America

Workers wages are being devoured, and the economy is shrinking because of it.

Big Beautiful Bill is eating all your money!

Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill has managed to raise the federal debt another $700-billion dollars just during the first four months of his existence in the present fiscal year. Bill did this by handing massive tax breaks to billionaires while helping drive inflation and interest costs and also by leaving about 10-million more middle-class people without health insurance. Bloated Bill is, in fact, creating the largest transfer of wealth to the Trump crowd in US history. Continue reading

Smith: When America’s Bill Comes Due ~ You Can’t Fool the Soil Forever!

I am constantly amazed at how long America has simply plodded along accepting the manner in which the U.S. government constantly pushes for more GDP growth that never seems to quite ever benefit them nearly as much as it benefits those in power and at the top of Corporate America, in large part due to the Federal Reserve’s numerous financial schemes and scams derived from printing excessive amounts of money and facilitating high inflation and its manufactured boom and bust cycles.

Rather than get too far into all the statistics and fine minutiae of the American economy, this piece explains in simple terms what we see unfolding in today’s economic situation and the dynamics underlying it all. Despite the grand illusion that everything is rosy and just hunky-dory on our economic front, there are many matters that suggest the country is just one economic spark away from seeing it all burned down.

JP Morgan Shrugs Off Gold Crash – Sets A New Higher Target!

Morgan the Pirate, Jamie Dimon

JP Morgan has reiterated a firmly bullish outlook for gold, even after precious metals suffered one of their sharpest selloffs in decades.

In a note released late Sunday, the U.S. investment bank said it sees $6,300 per ounce by year’s end, noting that the reasons behind the recent move higher remain intact.

We remain firmly bullishly convinced in gold over the medium-term on the back of a clean, structural, continued diversification trend that has further to run amid a still well-entrenched regime of real asset outperformance versus paper assets,” JP Morgan said. Continue reading

China Getting Ready to Steamroll the US Trade Dollar

President Xi of China has announced that he has set China’s yuan on a “strong” course to become a global reserve/trade currency. President Trump has set the US on a course to help him out.

Xi’s plan to position China’s currency, the yuan, for “international trade, investment, and foreign exchange” is perfectly matched to Trump’s plan to destroy the dollar for all of those same purposes. Thanks to the Trump Tariffs against all nations, China is on the road to becoming the alternate trading partner in the United States’ former lead position with a currency big enough to match the dollar’s old role. Continue reading

Gold Sell Off May Be Final Stop Before $10,000 With 6 Stocks and ETFs to Grab Now

Gold’s violent pullback has rattled latecomers to the trade, but for long term investors it may be the last deep breath before a speculative sprint toward $10,000. With forecasts for four and even five digit prices colliding with algorithm driven calls for a parabolic spike, the real question is not whether to own gold, but how to position across miners and ETFs before the next leg higher.

I see the current reset as a chance to build a focused basket of six names, blending one core miner, three complementary producers, and two exchange traded funds that track bullion. The goal is not to guess the exact top, but to use this sell off to assemble exposure that can survive volatility if the $10,000 narrative proves too aggressive, yet still participate if it comes anywhere close. Continue reading
