The greatest scientific FRAUD of all time has been this Global Warming nonsense. But hey, they are great snake-oil salesmen who manage to get billions of dollars thrown at them to study what they will never admit are just natural weather patterns. This is is so damn cold, I think a few more months […]

Trying to argue with a Gold Promoter is trying to argue with a Democrat that they should be a Republican. It will never happen because it is their life and how they make money. If we look at the commodity sector as a whole, in 1919 Wheat was 356. It reached in 2008 13500. That […]

One item in my art collection is a Leroy Neiman work of the Chicago Futures Exchange. That last vestige of the swashbuckling era of commodities floor trading is closing down.

  Upon the death of Nero (54-68AD), the Roman Empire was at a crossroads. The last member of the Julio-Claudian bloodline was dead. Many hoped for the return of the Republic. But the old Oligarchs had been mostly killed more than 72 years before. Otho and Vitellius sought to grab the throne. A third general […]

There’s is little doubt that the Democrats can’t sleep at night worrying about someone made some money they did not get a piece of.
