OFFICIAL WHITE HOUSE ACTION — President Trump just proclaimed Military Spouse Day, 2026 honoring the incredible men and women who stand behind our warfighters every single day.

These unsung heroes sacrifice, move constantly, raise families alone during deployments, and keep the homefront strong while our troops defend this nation.

God Bless them ALL!

Chicago chaos under Dem rule:

Hundreds of ‘teens’ torching cars, stomping on them, shutting down streets like a damn war zone.

Brandon Johnson’s soft-on-crime utopia in action.

This is what no consequences gets you.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announces new changes for military contractors

– Bureaucrats will no longer be able to negotiate defense contracts
-Defense companies now just pay to build their own factories, their own factory expansions, assembly lines, and manufacturing plants instead of taxpayers
– Companies that fail to deliver will be held responsible
– Companies that fail to deliver may be replaced with new contractors
– Defense companies can no longer have taxpayers pay to built their factories and then charge us for the product
– No more cost overruns (this is huge)

“It’s simple. We’re putting the American taxpayer first by offering you a better deal. We now move at the speed of business, not bureaucracy”

A lot of bureaucrats that have been getting filthy rich off deals are going to be pissed

THIS BALCK FEMALE STATE SENATOR FOR VIRGINIA IS HAVING A VERY BAD COUPLE OF DAYS

I’d like to personally thank
@SenLouiseLucas
for making this day possible.

She tried to push through the most outrageous gerrymander in the entire country, aiming to redraw a state Kamala Harris won with 51% of the vote into a 10-1 map for Democrats.

And in doing so, she totally shattered any conception that previously existed on the Right that there was some sort of neutral ground or apolitical set of rules we could all abide by.

She showed us that politics was nothing more than the raw adjudication of power, and if that’s all there is, then it may as well be us wielding it than them.

https://x.com/ChristianHeiens/status/2052848306191994974

SHE WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN PUSHING THRU THE VIRGINIA 10-1 MAP WHICH THE VA SUPREME COURT JUST CANCELLED TODAY

AND YESTERDAY HER OFFICE WAS SWARMED BY THE FBI AND SOME ASSOCIATES WERE ARRESTED …WITH HER ARREST PENDING

THIS RECENT TWEET DIDNT AGE WELL AT ALL

Employees on Disney Cruise busted on the job (take a guess what they were charged with).

https://nypost.com/2026/05/07/us-news/disney-breaks-silence-after-staff-dragged-off-cruise-ship-as-part-of-massive-child-porn-sting/

“He was full in uniform, which was in a blazer, tie. Some of the other employees were still in their chef’s uniforms with their name tags on it,” Mehta said. She called the arrests “really unsettling.”

“We have a zero-tolerance policy for this type of behavior and fully cooperated with law enforcement,” a Disney spokesperson told The Post.  “While the majority of these individuals were not from our cruise line, those who were are no longer with the company.”

Let’s see – Disney could definitely FIRE or have removed any one of these individuals at any given time for taking up space on their ship – does that mean not all of them are ’employees’?

Let’s follow along — Spencer Pratt won the LA mayoral debate. Could he actually win the race? | Analysis

Could Spencer Pratt be Los Angeles’ next mayor? The ex-reality TV villain and first-time Republican politician stunned political experts and plenty of observers when he barreled through the first mayoral debate on Wednesday night and wiped the floor with his opponents.

“The reality is no matter how many beds you give these people, they are on super meth. They are on fentanyl,” Pratt thundered in an attack on his opponent Nithya Raman’s ineffectiveness on the homeless problem. “The DEA statistics says 90% of this is a drug addiction problem. Councilman Raman’s plan for treatment first? I will go below the Harbor Freeway tomorrow with her and we can find some of these people she’s going to offer treatment for. She’s going to get stabbed in the neck.”

Last post, have a good weekend!

Silver Cot, OI down another 4% this week.  Commercials are getting off the boat before it sinks?  Not sure, but not normal.  Typically OI decreases greatly before the next upswing, just another bread crumb to follow…..

In addition to stopping and smelling the roses…

the graphing equivalent is looking at a longer measurement period.  Like weekly, and take a look at the GDX.  I see…bullish engulfing candle…increasing volume on increasing price…and MACD turning up.  Technically, that’s pretty good.  Good week for PM’s.

And SIL, mirror image.

All good so far….

Silver consolidating with the triangle…waiting to see which way she breaks.  I’m betting up…..beware the fake outs…..15 minute time period.

Re Regular Stocks, used as Inflation Hedges

They used to say the stock market is like a barometer, if its climbing it means a future booming economy. So is that what is going to happen?

Or are they all speculative bubbles getting ready to pop and then cause a massive deflation (money gaining value) like after the 1920s money expansion.

That created the 1929’s crash and the following deflation until they outlawed Gold in 1934 raised the price by 70%, and leveraged it up for the coming WW II, Korea, Vietnam wars, the moon landings etc.

https://finviz.com/futures_charts?t=INDICES&p=w

I strongly suspect the entire stock market, especially the Nasdaq bubble is going to pop some day soon. The rising prices keep people invested, like Wilie Coyote and Roadrunner.

One notable running gag involves the Coyote falling from high cliffs; after momentarily being suspended in midair, as if the fall is delayed until he realizes that there is nothing below him.

They’re not upgrading the system. They’re **replacing** it. – Mr. Pool

https://x.com/MrPool_QQ/status/2052675412086460630

 

Mr. Pool  is getting sloppy with  his storyline facts:

NOTE – MOVE 4 — INFO ERROR — Executive Order 14289. “Continuity of Financial Infrastructure.”

REALITY — Executive Order (EO) 14289 “Addressing Certain Tariffs on Imported Articles” (90 FR 18907) sets out the procedure for determining which of multiple tariffs will apply to an article when that article is subject to more than one of the tariff actions identified in the EO.

The only EO signed on May 2 had to do with Cuba. There is no EO referenced on-line during 2026 re Continuity of Financial Infrastructure.

 

OIL AT $100 BUT $177 SPIKE INCOMING: NUTTALL’S HISTORIC WARNING – Eric Nuttall

Oil expert Eric Nuttall just delivered a sobering update. Middle East production has collapsed by 14 million barrels per day and global inventories are drawing at an eye-watering pace. Yet the market remains shockingly apathetic even as physical shortages are already appearing in Africa, Europe, and Australia.

THE BOTTOM LINE – Eric Nuttall feels like the researcher in Wuhan in January 2020—he sees exactly what is coming while the market refuses to look. Complacency is ending in days or weeks as the gravity of this imbalance finally breaks through.

CANADA – New House of Commons design proposes benches, cinema-style seats and desks for the front bench

According to the proposal, out is the over century-old setup of rows of two-person desks assigned to specific MPs on each side of the House when Centre Block reopens from its over decade-long renovations around 2032. Instead, the life-size mock-up of a column of seats shows the two first rows of MPs on either side of the aisle getting desks, and backbenchers in the four following rows sitting on benches accommodating up to seven people.

A change to the U.K.-style bench system in the House of Commons also leads to a series of other logistical questions for Parliament staff.

“Iran now claims that they own, that they have a right to control an international waterway. They claim that they have a right to control it.”

“What is the world going to do about that? Is the world going to accept that Iran now controls an international waterway? Because if the world is prepared to accept that, then be ready!”

“Because there’s like 10 other countries that are going to start doing the same thing in their international waterways or in international waterways near their countries.”

“My supporters in LA are Democrats. Everyone I know, my family, are all Democrats. I grew up in LA!”

“Everybody that texted me last night, amazing, congratulations, are all Democrats. So what people are confused on, the Democrats all are behind me.”

“I’m confident I’m probably going to win with 51% on June 2nd because I don’t do a political message. I don’t do national politics.”

“I don’t do tribal politics. I don’t talk about other states. I’m localized.”

“I just want to fix our streets, get the lights on. I want people to feel safe. I want to get our tax money to not be robbed by these literal criminal NGOs stealing from our tax to increase the homelessness!”

IMPRESSIVE !!

Silver, we’re moving on up. Let’s see if …

82 can be breached today.  30 minute chart.

Silver near term producer, Silver Mountain Resources….good volume yesterday, and start of a good move I do believe.  Think about it if you don’t own it.

Market cap only  250 million, it’s in the sweet spot, and is already pulling ore from mines.

That’s your tip of the day.

What About That Barbarous Relic?

You may have noticed that in my recent posts on Silver’s specific reversal call, I made no mention of Gold.  That was purposeful, because while I expected Gold to reverse higher, along with Silver, I didn’t see a real big upside move, until we got past this coming Monday, May 11th.  So next week, Gold should really get going after it breaks above it’s 50 day mvg. around $4780.
