Inflation rates are soaring like never in history. Mortgage Rates are at 25 year highs. Mortgage rates we 2.5% 18 months ago and today is 7.625% for prime borrowers. Borrowers with sub 680 credit scores are paying 7.75% plus 3.5% in discount points. Home prices are at historic highs. Many would be homebuyers are priced out of the housing market. The mortgage industry lost 50,000 licensed mortgage loan originators from 140,000 to 90,000 and is expected to see more loan officers leave the mortgage industry. Every thing is going up. Car prices have skyrocketed and continues to go higher. Homeowners insurance premiums are increasing like never before. Joe Biden makes a speech a few days ago saying that Inflation is low under his watch. What is this guy thinking?

It is no secret Joe Scarborough is Joe and Jill Biden’s number one ass kisser. Joe Scarborough has brought five star coverage of Joe Biden and unanimously crowned 👑 himself Joe Biden’s number one ass kissing freak show. Scarborough is thought about as the World’s biggest idiot and nobody respects him nor his show. He seems he’s more mentally ill than Joe Biden and is in the state of denial about how bad the economy is under Joe Biden’s watch. However, after Thursday’s Presidential debate with former President Donald Trump, the Biden Ass Kissing Freak Joe Scarborough 😜 seems he’s calling it TRUCE. Watch this video clip.

Joe and Jill went up the Hill, for nearly 50 years
When Joe fell down he gave his crown
To Jill before he drowned
Jill wore the crown without a frown
Joe and Kamala were in tears
Jill stayed on the Hill until it was time
To send sleepy Joe to his early bedtime
Kamala waited and waited for Joe to wake
Jill shook Joe but it was too late
So the two planned another date
Jill and Kamala went up the Hill
And lived for twenty more years
They ruled without any fears
Until one day when when it was still
Donald Trump had his fill
And they all come tumbling down

Is the bird flu really here, or is it COVID-19 in disguise? The strain is HSN1, another flu strain, and each year they are getting worse, or are they really? In 2013, 900 people contracted the bird flu, and more than half died. Is this enough to be a pandemic?
Farmer workers and ranchers are at the highest risk of coming down with HSN1. I was unable to find where the 900 people got sick. I’m almost certain they worked on farms and ranches that lacked regular monitoring. Mostly found in meat and dairy, bird flu arrives and, voila, the price of eggs goes up, which has happened in the past few years.
I was amazed at the death statistics for flu deaths during COVID; there weren’t as many as previous years. I think all the flu stats were compiled together with COVID to make COVID worse. Thousands of people die of the flu each year, but not during COVID years. It was once called Trump’s flu.
With the election this November what will this flu be called, will CDC call it a pandemic? Or will it be a political stratagem? Biden Bird Flu, Biden Goodbye Flu, Trump’s Flu II. Both parties will cause chaos and come to the rescue, too bad the public will suffer.
It’s time to stock up on toilet paper and common sense.

The United States government confiscated gold and silver during certain periods in its history for various reasons, but the most notable event regarding gold confiscation was during the Great Depression in 1933.
In response to the economic turmoil of the Great Depression, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 6102 on April 5, 1933. This order effectively prohibited the hoarding of gold coins, gold bullion, and gold certificates within the continental United States. Individuals were required to turn in their gold to the Federal Reserve in exchange for paper currency. The government set the price of gold at $20.67 per ounce and subsequently raised it to $35 per ounce, effectively devaluing the dollar against gold.
The rationale behind this action was to stabilize the economy and increase the government’s ability to manipulate monetary policy. By removing gold from circulation and pegging the value of the dollar to gold, the government sought to combat deflation and stimulate economic recovery.
As for silver, there wasn’t a widespread confiscation like with gold. However, the U.S. government did enact legislation in the 1930s that significantly reduced the amount of silver in circulation. The Silver Purchase Act of 1934 authorized the U.S. Treasury to buy silver bullion to increase the price of silver, which had been in a downward spiral. This act effectively removed large quantities of silver from circulation as it was melted down into bars and stored in government vaults. Later, during World War II, there were further restrictions on the use of silver due to its strategic importance for the war effort.
In summary, the confiscation of gold and reduction of silver in circulation during the Great Depression era were measures taken by the U.S. government to stabilize the economy, manage monetary policy, and combat the effects of the economic downturn.
Gold and silver confiscation typically refers to government actions where authorities demand citizens turn in their gold and/or silver holdings. The most notable historical instance of this was in the United States during the 1930s. Here are some of the main reasons why such confiscations have occurred:
-
Economic Stability: Governments may confiscate gold and silver to stabilize the economy during times of crisis. For example, during the Great Depression in the 1930s, the US government feared hoarding of gold was exacerbating deflationary pressures, so it sought to increase the money supply and gain control over monetary policy.
-
Currency Stability: Gold and silver have historically been used as forms of currency or backing for currency. Confiscation may occur when governments want to maintain control over their currency and prevent alternatives from competing with or undermining it.
-
War Financing: During times of war, governments may confiscate precious metals to finance military efforts. By forcing citizens to exchange their gold and silver for currency or government bonds, authorities can raise funds to support war efforts.
-
Control Over Monetary Policy: Governments may confiscate gold and silver to have greater control over monetary policy. By centralizing gold reserves, authorities can influence the money supply, interest rates, and inflation levels.
-
Political Control: Confiscation can also be a tool for governments to exert political control over their citizens. By seizing assets such as gold and silver, authorities may limit the economic independence of individuals or groups deemed as threats to the government’s authority.
-
Crisis Management: During financial crises or periods of economic uncertainty, governments may resort to confiscation as a means of crisis management. By consolidating precious metal reserves, authorities may attempt to stabilize markets and restore investor confidence.
It’s important to note that while gold confiscation by governments has occurred historically, it’s relatively rare and often met with controversy and resistance. Additionally, laws and regulations regarding the ownership and trading of gold and silver vary from country to country, and confiscation is not a universal practice.
