On Friday, the price of gold futures jumped to a record high after it was reported that the US would put tariffs on imports of 1kg bars. Monday: Price of gold eases after Trump rules out tariffs on imported bars Metal traders say crisis averted after US president clarifies on social media that gold bars are duty-free The price of gold has eased after Donald Trump announced tariffs would not be placed on gold bars. His social media statement on Monday put an end to uncertainty, which had caused panic in global trade of the precious metal. Sounds like the Trump crime family needed to make some quick cash in the commodities markets.

Here is a list of Trump's heroes who came to his defence.All these brave fighters for freedom received pardons from Trump. "In two cases, the insurrectionists committed the crimes after receiving their pardons. An additional pardoned rioter was killed during a traffic stop when he reportedly resisted arrest and was armed. Andrew Taake: According to the FBI, Taake assaulted Capitol Police officers with pepper spray and a metal whip. He was sentenced to over six years in prison for his role in the insurrection. After Trump’s pardon, he was rearrested on previous charges of soliciting a minor. Edward Kelley: Kelley was one of the first insurrectionists to breach the Capitol and was found guilty on several charges related to January 6th. He was convicted on charges of plotting to murder the FBI agents who investigated him in the January 6th case and is scheduled to be sentenced in July. Emily Hernandez: Hernandez pleaded guilty to entering and remaining in a building and restricted grounds. After Trump’s pardon, she was sentenced to 10 years in prison for causing a drunk driving accident in 2022 that killed one person and injured another. Daniel Ball: According to prosecutors, Ball attacked police officers with an explosive device during the insurrection. He was rearrested days after Trump’s pardon for illegal gun possession given his felony record of domestic violence and strangulation. David Daniel: According to prosecutors, Daniel was part of the attempt to break through a barricaded Senate door and pleaded guilty to resisting police officers. He remains in custody after Trump’s pardon on possession of child sexual abuse material charges brought in 2024. Shane Jason Woods: Woods pleaded guilty to assaulting police and a press photographer. After Trump’s pardon, Woods was convicted in April for multiple counts including reckless homicide and driving under the influence in 2022. Theodore Middendorf: Middendorf pleaded guilty to destruction of government property on January 6th. He was previously sentenced in 2024 to 19 years in prison for sexually assaulting a seven year old and remains in prison. Taylor Taranto: Taranto was convicted of several crimes related to January 6th including possession of an unregistered firearm. He was arrested in 2023 for illegal gun possession and making a threat to blow up the National Institute of Standards and Technology and was convicted this May. Brent John Holdridge: Holdridge pleaded guilty to parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building on January 6th. He was arrested in May for stealing tens of thousands of dollars worth of industrial copper wire and faces charges of burglary, grand theft and possession of stolen property. Zachary Alam: Alam was sentenced to eight years in prison for his role in the insurrection. After Trump’s pardon, Alam was rearrested in May for an alleged home invasion and theft. "

Like WTF? You're the first to suggest there is an underlying purpose to the word salads used trying in vain to make a point. Brilliant

Given the current disdain for democrats and the idiocy of republicans an independent could smoke everyone. Hopefully Elon doesn't pick up on that.

Are you expecting anything less as Trump Suggests Vance is MAGA Movement’s Heir Apparent.. After all for republicans: The White House is defending a decision by the U.S. Secret Service to have the Army Corps of Engineers raise the water level of a river in Ohio so Vice President JD Vance could kayak with his family for his 41st birthday.

Anything for you Jerry. I'd suggest that the Indian population feels much different from this spring survey. But hey Nigeria loves trump. Meanwhile America is falling to a basket of countries generally hated by citizens in other counties. But hey there is a benefit in that for the US. Fewer tourists pestering you for directions.

Every parent dreams that their children will be better off than themselves.You must be very proud! The top 5-10% of income earners who are homeowners are living the best life possible. You have the tremendous advantage of the leverage that home ownership provides. Long term asset appreciation in a asset class thats tax free. In accommodation for which you can make changes as you please. Life-...enjoy.

I agree but everyone has to be conscious of how this narrative is weaponized. Republican Mike Flood suggested that medicaid recipients were receiving benefits and refused to work. Akin to saying that "illegal" immigrants are flooding across the border to start receiving rich US welfare benefits. Then refusing to get jobs because the objective isn't to grasp the American dream. But instead to get fat on the juicy benefits that "dems" hand out. That only republicans will stop such excess.

Vance has ambition to be the MAGA leader in waiting no doubt. The bootlickers who sat around Zelensky in the WH ready to take their turns proving how loyal they are proves that. I imagine his GOP potential successors are all in awe how Trump has managed to turn America into his personal piggy bank(see below). Nah, he'll bide his time and let Trump fire every gatekeeper for justice and integrity. After all with redistricting, with Trump's personal $200 million war chest, Trump is both an asset and very dangerous. A new disclosure shows how corporations and individuals, including many in the crypto business, wrote big checks while seeking favor from the president. I can easily see how someone with such flexible moral values as Vance. Can imagine himself making several billion off a presidency should he succeed Trump.

Not yet but the syndrome is taking hold, growing day by day. He believes that everyone will betray him eventually. His ex-wives did, "friends" did, bankers did, political allies did, etc. so he is eternally vigilant and ready to act.

It could have been worse. Obviously Bannon and the other insiders never suggested a US equivalent of Russia Today. Imagine The Greatest Country On Earth Today television, FOX on steroids so to speak.

Rumour has it that a jail cell in the Trump plaza is next.

No, banana republic is already established. After a Weak Jobs Report, Trump is Firing That Agency’s Commissioner The jobs report today showed a very poor job hiring. Two months were revised down about 200,000 jobs and last month was about 1/2 what it should be. The MAGA mouth stated "the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Erika McEntarfer,....“rigged” the data “to make the Republicans, and ME, look bad.” Accordingly next months job growth will show millions of new job hires in the greatest country that ever existed.

Laura Loomer, the far-right activist and self-described Trump administration “loyalty enforcer,” is back at it. She identifies anyone in a position of authority in the US government who disparages Trump. Or who in any fashion is insufficiently loyal. "Last Friday, April Falcon Doss, the general counsel of the National Security Agency, was fired after Ms. Loomer spotlighted conservative attacks of her previous work, including for the Senate Intelligence Committee’s Democratic staff." "On Wednesday, the Army secretary, Daniel Driscoll, ordered the U.S. Military Academy at West Point to rescind the employment offer it made to a cybersecurity expert and Army veteran, Jen Easterly. " Eliminating critics, punishing the disloyal is common with dictators. With Putin. Now with American presidents.

Stupid republicans are falling for the Epstein hoax. “Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this “bull——,” hook, line, and sinker,”

You're missing the concept that so many conspiracies and distractions can be floating around in the vacuum of a MAGA brain all at the same time. This needs scientific study.

Since a change in scientific thinking and theory seems to discount fundamental science for yourself. You should be happy with Trump and the EPA. Lee Zeldin, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency,said the E.P.A. planned to rescind the 2009 declaration, known as the endangerment finding, which concluded that planet-warming greenhouse gases pose a threat to public health. “The proposal would, if finalized, amount to the largest deregulatory action in the history of the United States,” Mr. Zeldin said. He said the proposal would also erase limits on greenhouse gas emissions from cars and trucks on the nation’s roads. Without the endangerment finding, the E.P.A. would be left with no authority under the Clean Air Act to regulate the greenhouse gas emissions that are accumulating in the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels." Thankfully Trump's other global warming ideas like everything else in Trump's life has hit the skids. He promised a new America renaissance in oil production with "drill baby drill" as his motto. But as the above graph shows the rig count of rigs in operation is in freefall.

Trump doesn't cheat at golf. He loses interest after 8-9 strokes and his dementia results in a score of one under par on his scorecard. Trump deserves a holiday after working so hard to bring down inflation and grocery prices.

I found some context on You-Tube about flaming Trump supporters. A social context media framer by the name of Jimmy Kimmel is the author.

How can a new author increase distribution for his book? Is the question I asked Chatgtp. It came up with a eight point plan that seemed good. But it wouldn't allow me to cut and paste the suggestions here.

You're not busting anyone's balls. The evidence you use to support your ideas, like You-Tube videos are largely ignored because they purport garbage theories. When you gather facts from conspiracy, MAGA sources instead of real facts. Those who believe in science, economics, history and the opinions of a real majority. Will see little of relevance, of seriousness in such positions. I'm surprised that Billvon gives serious replies to your positions. I'm not as impatient as John to block your posts. But like a drunk in a restaurant who insists upon yelling obnoxious unrelated statements at those around you. Tuning out the source is the majority option.

Thankfully republicans are not concerned about any of this. "Just 12% of Republicans and Republican leaners say dealing with climate change should be a top priority for the president and Congress, according to a January 2024 survey. For Republicans, dealing with climate change ranks last among the 20 issues included in the survey.... By contrast, 59% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents say climate change should be a top priority for the president and Congress.... 57% of Republicans believe the U.S. should never stop using oil, coal and natural gas.... Overwhelming shares of Democrats who report experiencing extreme weather draw a connection to climate change, with most saying climate change contributed a lot to these events, rather than just a little." PEW March 2024 To be ignorant saves allot of worry.

Don't confuse him.

House GOP moves to rename Kennedy Center Opera House after Melania Trump Melania, an illegal immigrant when she met Trump according to Trump's current ICE policy. Who met Trump through Jeffrey Epstein on the aircraft and first hooked up with Trump on the "Lolita Express". Stealing the honourable Kennedy name is such an appropriate use of the "family values" parties time. "The Boeing had padded floors and a large bed installed so that his guests could have sex with the girls he had lured aboard mid-flight....“When you get inside the aircraft, it’s a playground. Everything lays out to be a bed. That was kind of creepy,” According to Epstein's victims. Perhaps the republican party can buy the aircraft and put it in the Trump library as a homage to the first "lady".

There is not a chance Trump gets anywhere near a Nobel Peace Prize after the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's work in Gaza. Over 875 people have been killed at the four aid sites in Gaza. US-Israeli backed Gaza aid group must be shut down, say 170 charities A former security contractor for Gaza's controversial new Israel- and US-backed aid distribution sites has told the BBC that he witnessed colleagues opening fire several times on hungry Palestinians who had posed no threat, including with machine guns.
