May he find peace and everlasting life.

Commercial real estate has proven itself to be a bubble waiting to pop. More proof surfaced this week.

A 22-story office tower at 175 West Jackson Boulevard in the heart of Chicago’s Loop, once a trophy asset commanding more than $300 million in value, just traded for about $41 million, according to Bloomberg.

That’s roughly 87 percent less than its pre-Covid price tag and a stunning reset for a property that was supposed to be a stable, income-producing cornerstone of a major global city’s commercial real estate.

The building’s vacancy rate is reported to be around 53 percent, the lender once sued to foreclose on the roughly $280 million loan tied to the property, and the new buyers only closed the deal by cobbling together about $58.5 million in fresh financing.

If you needed proof that something is proper fucked in commercial real estate, this sale should be one of those moments where you stop and actually look instead of listening to the dickheads on financial media repeating “office demand will come back.”

OK, NEM i believe is going to blow earnings out of the water (like a venezuelan drug boat making  a run for Florida…but I digress).  Here’s the basics..

Ok, PE currently of 18, dividend of a dollar….are there earnings growing at a higher level than the current PE?  Glad you asked…look at the earnings estimates, which I believe are sandbagged.

Look at upcoming quarter…1.98 estimate (sandbagged) versus 1.40 last year, about 40% growth…

And look at next year’s sandbagged estimates…35% growth for next year…so even if PE stayed constant, you’d get 151 for a price…

No way the “new” growth stocks are going to have stagnant PE’s, will expand.  Only sector with consistent earnings increases for the last  2 years.  Oh, and you get a dividend, which will probably get larger if they don’t buy up companies bc they will have cash coming out of their butts…..socially awkward, but an interesting problem to have.

“The Tongva tribe says she’s living on their property.”

TONGVA: “We understand her home is situated on our ancestral land…she has not contacted our tribe regarding her property.”

“The president’s goal is for us not to make a hasty transition by replacing coal with gas, but to immediately switch from coal to nuclear power,”…

Before his trip to Davos, Nawrocki had met with entrepreneurs to discuss Poland’s accession to the G20. In his speech, he presented his vision for Poland’s future energy mix. At the beginning of the year, the Sejm (lower house of parliament) almost unanimously passed a law to support the construction of the first nuclear power plant in Lubiatów-Kopalin, Pomerania, with over PLN 60 billion (€14 billion).

Things are popping faster this month than they did in January. In more last-minute essential news, late yesterday, Representatives Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) and Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) told reporters that Senate Majority Leader John Thune will revive the “standing filibuster” to break the silent filibuster and hold a vote on the upgraded SAVE Act, which requires proof of citizenship and Voter ID for federal elections. It’s the solution we’ve been pushing for!

CLIP: Rep. Luna says ‘we got assurances on the standing filibuster’ (1:04).

https://x.com/RedWave_Press/status/2018489835615387665

A standing filibuster forces senators to actually debate on the floor (rather than enjoying an automatic silent filibuster), which would allow the Act’s passage with only 50 votes— assuming Republicans hold together, and Vice-President JD Vance stands by to break any tie.

As a reminder, the silent filibuster is a 70’s-era innovation designed to protect senators from having to listen to their colleagues from across the aisle babble incoherently for hours at the podium in the classic filibuster style, which was once called a “standing filibuster.” The 1972 rule change allowed senators to just say they would filibuster, which automatically tabled the pending vote and required 60 votes to end the “filibuster”—which they dishonestly call “ending debate.” Even though nobody’s actually debating anything.

C&C’s position has been that they don’t need to “nuke” the whole filibuster rule. Just tweak it. Roll back the pre-70s rule change and make senators actually debate. End the automatic “silent” rule. It appears Republicans got the message. They have now discovered a secret weapon against the 60-vote threshold: making senators actually work. A fate worse than popping up in the Epstein files.

In other words, the odds for passing the SAVE Act in time to affect the midterms just shot up on the betting markets. Which means things are about to get lit. The Democrats cannot afford to let the SAVE Act pass, which means they are about to pull out all the stops. My imagination boggles at the ludicrous scenes about to unfold.

Either way, get the microwave ready. It’s popcorn time.

OF ALL THE ASTOUNDING THINGS GOING ON RIGHT NOW THIS HAS TO BE THE “ASTOUNDINGEST ”

Jeff Childers has the rundown on Musks Latest Adventure

see first comment

JEFF CHILDERS

Oh, frabjous day! Somewhere between the frozen circles of Hell and the fiery pits of Gehenna, Satan just requested a space heater. Bill and Hillary Clinton have agreed to testify under oath about Jeffrey Epstein. The New York Times ran a breaking story this morning, headlined, “Clintons Capitulate on House Epstein Inquiry, Agreeing to Testify.” I guess mocking Steve Bannon’s jail sentence for refusing to testify wasn’t such a hot idea, huh, Hillary?

The sub-headline explained, “Former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, the ex-secretary of state, agreed to depositions they had long resisted— just days before the House was to vote to hold them in contempt.”

The Clintons’ chickens are coming home to roost— on Pedo Island. For thirty years, the Clintons have treated congressional subpoenas like Nigerian prince emails— acknowledged with a smirk and immediately deleted. But yesterday, as the House was literally mid-vote to hold them in contempt, the most Teflon couple in American political history finally ran out of non-stick spray.

They tried everything and House Republicans held the line. How about written statements? Rejected. A four-hour interview in New York where Bill could bill by the hour? Rejected. Hillary submitting a sworn pinky-promise instead of showing up? Rejected. The Clintons’ lawyers fired off a flurry of desperate last-minute emails more creative than a middle-schooler explaining why his test answers were identical to the girl right in front of him.

Then, mid-committee-meeting, as Chairman James Comer (R-Ky) was literally testifying about holding them in contempt, their attorney fired off a desperate email: Fine. We’ll come. “The Clintons,” the Times admitted, “ultimately waved the white flag and agreed to fully comply with Mr. Comer’s demands.” It was total surrender. “The Clintons on Monday evening agreed to all of Mr. Comer’s demands, removing any time limit on the deposition of Mr. Clinton or on the range of topics that Republicans could ask him about.”

Only two weeks ago, the Clintons remained defiant. “Every person has to decide when they have seen or had enough and are ready to fight for this country, its principles and its people, no matter the consequences,” the Clintons wrote in an overlong letter to Chairman Comer on January 13th. “For us, now is that time.”

Haha, well, not exactly ‘no matter the consequences.’ Apparently not if the consequences include four months in chokey.

? This is another one for the history books. The records are toppling like dominoes these days. “For Mr. Clinton to testify in the Epstein investigation would be nearly unprecedented,” the Times somberly reported. “No former president has appeared before Congress since 1983, when President Gerald R. Ford did so to discuss the celebration of the 1987 bicentennial.”

After months of insisting that the majesty of the office required that former presidents not be subjected to this indignity, last night their spokesman bravely pivoted and said the Clintons “look forward to setting a precedent that applies to everyone.” Give me a break.

This, from a woman who ran a classified email server from her bathroom closet. From the family that BleachBit-scrubbed 33,000 subpoenaed emails, smashed BlackBerries with hammers, and told congressional investigators to go pound sand for three decades. Bill Clinton flew on Epstein’s Lolita Express at least 26 times, according to flight logs. Sometimes he ditched his Secret Service detail. He visited Epstein’s island. He accepted Epstein’s money. He posed for photographs, some of which are hard to look at before eating.

The Clintons lecturing about equal treatment is like Jeffrey Dahmer complaining about portion sizes at Applebee’s.

Now they must testify under oath, under penalty of perjury, with a court reporter recording every syllable in writing. I’m sure it’ll go great. Bill Clinton has a sterling history with sworn testimony.

? If they think potential contempt charges were threatening, wait till Bill and Hillary start considering what the Republicans might do with perjury charges. Jail for contempt is measured in months. Prison for perjury is measured in years. Bill was already disbarred for lying under oath about Monica Lewinsky— and that was at the pinnacle of his Teflon status, for a relatively trivial Oval Office dalliance.

Now he’s agreed to another deposition, this one about cavorting with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. In 2026. With millions of Epstein files surging around the internet. With a deposition transcript that will almost certainly be published online, thanks to the Epstein Transparency Act. What could possibly go wrong? I wonder if they’ll ask the former president about Epstein’s portrait of him? ?

Think about the undisclosed reasons Hillary is also being deposed. Bill’s the one with the flight logs, the photographs, and the “arms-length friendship.” What does Hillary know about Epstein that requires sworn testimony? What does House Oversight know about what Hillary knows? I’m sure it’s nothing. The Clintons have always been so forthcoming about their associates. Just ask Vince Foster. Oh wait. Sorry, you can’t.

Will we finally learn what “is” means?

? Not to beat a bleach-bit Clinton, but let’s take one more moment to consider the incredible, astounding, made-for-TV timing. Just as the Clinton deposition demand was reaching its crescendo, literally millions of new Epstein documents flooded out as if from a burst sewer main. Bill Gates’ STD tests. British royalty in their underwear. Politicians, professors, princes — all scrambling like a nest of silverfish when the exterminator shows up.

And it was now, right at this precise historic moment, after months of steadfast defiance, the Clintons suddenly decided that testifying under oath is actually fine. Can you see how perfectly it played out? The Epstein files made it politically possible to hold the Clintons in contempt. Indeed, a bunch of Democrats on the House Oversight Committee joined Republicans in voting for contempt.

image 11.png

Not because they believe in the “rule of law.” Because of the optics. Democrats just spent a year demanding Epstein transparency. At long, long, last, the Clintons finally ran out of slimy trails to dodge down, and were cornered.

You think this incredible timing was just a fortuitous coincidence? Does it maybe put Trump’s delay in releasing the Epstein files last year in a different light?

? For three decades, the Clintons have been America’s most unsquashable political cockroaches— surviving scandals that would have instantly vaporized anyone else. Whitewater. Travelgate. Lewinsky. Email servers. Benghazi. The Foundation. Uranium One. Hot Dog-gate.

But every single time, they scurried away unscathed, protected by a media palace guard and a Justice Department that couldn’t find probable cause with a GPS and a sherpa. They had no reason to believe they wouldn’t ooze out again. But then Trump’s DOJ arrested Epstein. And Epstein died in a cell with cameras that mysteriously malfunctioned. And the files got seized. And now those files are public.

And now … the Clintons were forced to answer questions under oath. Without any heads-up or warning, Bob’s your uncle, the Clintons suddenly looked down and realized they’re standing in a coffin.

..you must read.  I sound like Silver Yoda…I may change my handle.

Silver deliveries for January were 9,889 contracts or 49.4 million ounces.

Silver deliveries for Feb are already 2.765 contracts or 13.8 million ounces.  There are 104 million ounces per COMEX reporting as of 1/30/26.

According to my buddy, Chat-man-do here’s the info on Feb 25:

? What That Means in Physical Terms

• Each COMEX silver futures contract represents 5,000 troy ounces of metal.

• 4,788 notices × 5,000 oz = ~23.94 million oz of silver standing for delivery in February 2025.

So although February is not normally a major delivery month, February 2025’s delivery activity was unusually strong for an inactive month — significantly higher than many previous years — even though it did not approach the volumes seen in the active delivery months like March or December.

If you’d like, I can also compare February’s results to a typical delivery month like March or December to give you context on how “large” this month was historically.

Any bets this February will be larger?  Just using last year’s number that represents 25% of remaining registered stock….I think it will be double that and we’ll have used up half of what is left.  And then, there is March….beware the Ides of March..indeed.  Chat-man-do stats on last March:

Each COMEX silver futures contract represents 5,000 troy ounces of physical silver. So:

• March 2025: ~16,149 contracts × 5,000 oz ? ~80.7 million ounces of silver standing for delivery.

• February 2025: ~4,788 contracts × 5,000 oz ? ~23.9 million ounces (as noted earlier).

Thus March’s silver delivery volume in 2025 was considerably higher in absolute volume and consistent with it being a key delivery month on the COMEX.

If you’d like, I can also break down how March delivery activity ranks historically compared to other active months (like May or September), or compare registered silver inventory levels to March’s delivery demand.

That’s ballgame boys, cause this March will be even larger I suspect.  104-25-80=Default.

FRIDAY’S ACTION IN SILVER IS SAID TO BE THE MOST OUTSIZED “SIGMA” EVEN IN THE HISTORY OF MARKETS FOR A MARKET OF SIZE LIKE SILVER …FAIR ENOUGH …IT SURE WAS A KICK IN THE GNADS FOR THOSE OF US ON BOARD

BUT….LOOK AT THAT CHART…..ALL IT DID WAS WIPE OUT 1 MONTH OF GAINS.

SILVER HAD GAINED 63% IN ONE MONTH FROM 100 TO 163 ( THAT AIN’T NORMAL )…THAT ALSO HAS TO BE ONE OF THE MOST OUTSIZED SIGMA EVENTS EVER

SO GAINED 63% ….THEN LOST 42% ( BECAUSE THATS MATH ) BACK TO $105 AT THE MOMENTARY BOTTOM IN 1 DAY

THE WHOLE THING IS NUCKIN FUTZ …AND WE…ARE….LIVING…IT !

A picture is worth a thousand words….

Buy the dips boyz….buy the dips.  Earnings releases start soon and they are going to be something to see…you have 7 days before they start.

Big dog reports Feb 12th.  You in our you out?  Reminder of what “expectations” were last quarter and what they did.  Yeah, the analysts are so good at predictions….

Good Morning GT’ers!!

Silver has a range from yesterday and the Friday beat down….coming up against it.  Will it or won’t it?

Aluminum adjuvants in vaccines can and likely do cause autism in genetically susceptible babies and children, according to a new scientific review of over 200 peer-reviewed studies. The review, led by Children’s Health Defense Chief Scientific Officer Brian Hooker, lays out the biochemical and physiological framework that explains how aluminum-containing vaccines can cause autism.

A jury awarded a New York woman $2 million for her pain and future medical bills after she was mutilated as a gender-confused teenager, in what may be the first ruling of its kind.

In what is being hailed as a first of its kind courtroom victory against the “gender transition” industry, a jury has awarded $2 million to a young woman, who, as a teen, was disfigured by so-called “gender-affirming doctors.”

The now-22-year-old, Fox Varian, who no longer identifies as transgender, underwent a double mastectomy when she was just a 16-year-old.

With their vote, senators overturned all the provisions of the bill aimed at authorizing the voluntary killing of individuals in an advanced stage of illness.

In a totally unexpected move, the French Senate last week gutted a bill seeking to legalize euthanasia and assisted suicide. With their vote, senators overturned all the provisions of the bill aimed at authorizing the voluntary killing of individuals in an advanced stage of illness. The entire logic of the so-called “loi Falorni” was reversed: the text, as adopted by the Senate, instead created an enforceable right to palliative care and explicitly rejects any use of lethal substances.

The Canadian government will take direct control of the Vaccine Injury Support Program in April from a company that has only paid out $18 million to jab-injured Canadians.

Canada’s Public Health Agency more or less admitted that the COVID shots have caused harm to no less than 10,000 people and that it must take direct control of a vaccine injury compensation program.

As mentioned in a briefing note from December, the consultants the government hired to oversee its Vaccine Injury Support Program (VISP) program were the cause of “frustration and hardship” in helping jab-injured people get compensation.
