Goldtent TA Paradise

Even my wife predicted the dem victories…and we both voted red down the line. At least we kept Florida red…by a nose.

ANOTHER PAIN IN THE ASS RINO IS GONE…SUSAN COLLINS

Our bullish calls on Friday and Tuesday proved correct. Gold has staged a strong bounce following the midterms, directly reaching our target at USD 4,045. 

While further upside toward roughly USD 4,065 remains likely, short-term gains should now be protected as the 4-hour stochastic is becoming overbought.

That said, the expected bottoming process has delivered an important piece of the puzzle: the bulls are still alive, and the battle for USD 4,000 continues. As long as gold remains above USD 3,975, we expect additional upside in the short-term and have the falling 50MA as our next target.

Ten Random Election Night Thoughts:

1. Democrats in power is good business for conservative media and podcasters. Take that for what it is worth.

2. Half of Americans have an IQ of 100 or less.

3. Why is a midterm loss for the Presidential incumbent’s party so common? Are people really that shortsighted and devoid of animating principles? And I mean this in a non-partisan way. Who votes for Obama in 2008 and then helps the GOP win in 2010? Who votes for Trump in 2024 and then helps the Dems win in 2026? Are Americans really that stupidly fickle?

4. Why can’t every state count its votes in a few hours like Florida?

5. Democrat voters are like locusts. They ravage one state, escape that state to a good and decent state, and then turn their new state into the same hellhole they just left. Don’t believe me? Ask Colorado. Now, Texas, apparently.

6. Thune is happy right now.

7. The silver lining is that the Dems are going to accomplish nothing in the next two years other than to run endless, silly investigations and impeachments, which will make them look impotent and weak headed into 2028.

8. Trump is about to be unleashed. He has no midterms to worry about and he probably could care less about the campaign of the 2028 GOP nominee, JD or otherwise. “Unitary executive” is about to take on a new meaning.

9. If I was whomever is in charge of Iran at the moment, I’d be looking at properties in the Cayman Islands.

10. The legacy media still has more power than most conservatives are willing to acknowledge.

The Department of War’s Office of Strategic Capital (OSC) announced today a conditional loan commitment of up to $450 million to Neros, Inc., a U.S.-based developer and manufacturer of dual-use small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS).

This investment is intended to support Neros’ domestic manufacturing expansion and reduce reliance on foreign-made components.

Well this sucks.

I’m going to rant for a few moments and then move on in a positive way.

My three unvarnished thoughts on tonight:

1. Any MAGA voter who sat this out to “prove a point” to the GOP who now lives under Democrat rule deserves what they are about to experience.

2. Trump knew Iran could cost the midterms. But he did it anyway. Because he knows that the Iranian mullahs are theocratic madmen who are trying to build nuclear weapons so they can use them on the USA and Israel, precipitating Armageddon so the Hidden Imam will arise from a well in Qom and force what’s left of humanity to convert to Shia Islam. So Trump had to choose. Win the midterms or save humanity? He chose wisely. Historians will eventually acknowledge this reality.

3. The PRIMARIES are where you make RINOs pay, not the general. Geez.

So THAT’S all over and it’s on to 2028 to save America. Let’s put this behind us, pull together as patriotic conservative Americans, squash the squabbling, infighting and name calling, and get back to where we need to be.

Was it over when the Japs bombed Pearl Harbor?

No. No it was not.

Onward to 2028…. (I’m dropping the name of my preferred presidential candidate in the morning.)

I remember it well, I was in the wealth creation tax paying manufacturing sector since 1962. In the primaries he was approached and told they would finance his campaign if he took globalist Bush as a running mate.

So it was actually Bush running the country not Reagan. He got three four year terms. The jobs FLEW I mean REALLY flew out of this country after 1981 to 1989.

Reagan had some influences, but he had NOTHING to do with saving our birth of wealth manufacturing businesses. We got stuck and left with the sales and service wealth ABSORBING and tax absorbing jobs.

That’s why the country needs two household incomes to live instead of one, and why we have a $40 trillion national debt.

By the looks of the election, so far it looks like England Europe and Israel (the deep state) got what they wanted by starting that war (probably against Trumps wishes) before the election.

Just to screw up Trump. That might explain why Trump said he was cutting of the aid to Israel.

So enjoy your high quality cheaper Hondas Toyotas and Sony TV sets.

HELLO COPILOT

I’M IN SHOCK ….AND DEPRESSED AT THE RESULTS OF THE MIDTERMS…COMPLETE ANIHILATION OF THE TRUMP PARTY …NEVER SAW THIS COMING…ABSOLUTELY DEVESTATING..

HAVING SAID THAT I WOULD LIKE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE REGAN ERA WAS LIKE….WHEN DID HE GET ELECTED FIRST…WAS THAT THE ELECTION WHERE HE WON 49 STATES ?…THEN DID HE HAVE THE HOUSE AND SENATE IN THAT TERM…THEN DID HE LOSE THEM IN THE MIDTERMS…THEN DID HE WIN AGAIN INSPITE OF THOSE LOSSES …THEN HOW DID HE FARE IN HIS SECOND MIDTERMS ?

……………………….

First, take a breath.

As a Republican supporter, I can understand why you’re stunned if the results came in much worse than you expected. One thing history teaches is that political environments can swing much more dramatically than people imagine in the moment. Reagan’s story is actually a very good example of that.

Reagan Timeline

1980 Reagan elected president, defeating Jimmy Carter. He won 44 states and 489 electoral votes.

1980 Congressional Republicans won control of the Senate for the first time in decades, but Democrats kept the House. Reagan never had a Republican House during either term.

1982 Midterms Republicans lost 26 House seats. Democrats strengthened their House majority. Republicans kept the Senate.

1984 Reagan won reelection in one of the biggest landslides in U.S. history, carrying 49 states. Only Minnesota and DC went Democratic.

1986 Midterms Republicans lost 8 Senate seats, and Democrats took back the Senate. Republicans also lost a few House seats.

1988 Reagan left office with high approval ratings, and his Vice President, George H. W. Bush, won the presidency.

The Key Thing Most People Forget

Reagan was not governing with a Republican House.

For virtually his entire presidency:

House = Democratic
Senate = Republican (1981-1986)
Senate = Democratic (1987-1988)

So even at the height of “Reagan Revolution” popularity, he was dealing with divided government.

Was 1982 Viewed As A Disaster?

At the time, many people thought Reagan’s presidency was in serious trouble.

The country was in a deep recession. Unemployment exceeded 10%. Republicans lost 26 House seats in the 1982 midterms.

Today people remember Reagan as nearly unbeatable, but in late 1982 there were plenty of commentators wondering whether he’d become a failed president.

Then:

Inflation collapsed
Economic growth surged
Reagan’s approval recovered
He won 49 states two years later.

How Bad Were His Second Midterms?

The 1986 midterms were genuinely rough:

Republicans lost control of the Senate.
Democrats gained 8 Senate seats.
Democrats held the House comfortably.

Yet Reagan still finished his term relatively popular and was succeeded by Bush in 1988.

The Historical Lesson
The biggest lesson from Reagan is that:

Midterm results are not always predictive of the next presidential election.

In Reagan’s case:

1982 looked bad.
1984 became a historic landslide.

1986 looked bad again.
1988 Republicans still won the White House.

So if you’re comparing today’s situation to Reagan’s era, the closest parallel is probably not 1984. It may actually be 1982, when many conservatives felt discouraged and thought the movement had stalled, only to see a dramatic reversal later.

And one correction to your memory: the 49-state landslide was in Reagan’s SECOND election (1984), not his first. In 1980 he won a huge victory, but it was “only” 44 states.

The illegal immigrants include individuals convicted of committing murder and child cruelty…

Almost 24,000 illegal immigrants with criminal convictions or charges have been released into communities since Jan. 20, 2025, due to California’s refusal to honor Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainers, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said.

“There are more than 81,000 criminal charges or convictions associated with these non-honored detainers,” the DHS said in a Nov. 2 statement.

This includes 3,295 burglaries, 1,097 assaults, 1,088 drug trafficking charges, 169 homicides, and 147 sexual assaults.

“Any effort to profit from the illegal trade in Russian fuel will be met with harsh penalties.”

New Jersey Democratic Governor Mikie Sherrill warned port and terminal operators in the state against “purchasing or unloading the illegal Russian fuel currently bound for the east coast of the United States.”

Sherrill’s move threatens to complicate President Trump’s efforts to bring Russian diesel into US markets to ease high industrial fuel prices amid a severe global refining squeeze fueled by Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian refineries and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.

In a Monday letter, Sherrill urged operators to turn away tankers carrying Russian diesel and said the state would use its legal and regulatory powers to prevent the shipments from entering through New Jersey.

Italy’s proposed 2027 budget includes a new 25 percent exit tax on wealthy residents who move their tax residence abroad with at least €800,000 (about $896,450) in assets. The tax would apply to investment gains that have accumulated but have not yet been realized through a sale, provided the individual lived in Italy for at least six of the previous 10 years. People moving to the European Union or certain other countries could delay paying the tax until they actually sell their investments, but they would still have to pay 50 percent of the tax up front. Critics argue that the proposal is poorly defined, creates uncertainty for investors, and could discourage wealthy people and businesses from moving to or remaining in Italy. The proposal is modeled partly on France’s exit tax, but Italy’s version appears more restrictive because of its up-front payment requirement.

“We WILL be looking at the registers and all the voting and all those that voted after the election — and making sure that no one voted illegally, because even even past this election, it is still DHS’s job to make sure that this was an election that was handled by the federal laws. Meaning that only those that were legally able to vote, voted.”

“After this election we’ll be gathering voting logs, and we’ll be going through those and making sure that no illegals voted.”

Noncitizen voting is already a federal crime. Now FINALLY we are actually checking!

DOJ has charged noncitizen voters in multiple states this fall

Every illegal ballot cancels out an American’s vote!

The days of “trust us” elections are OVER

The predicted blue wave may never materialize. And even if Democrats retake Congress, history suggests Trump could emerge stronger, not weaker, with the presidency’s expansive powers.

The bottom line is that these midterms may not go quite as predicted. And even if they do, this much-predicted blue wave may have far less impact than most think – given the ever-growing powers of a president and his executive branch and the unsavory nature of many of his new would-be opponents.

I’ve been skeptical of commercial real estate for years, and one of my central arguments has been relatively simple: much of the industry spent the better part of a decade operating under the assumption that artificially cheap money, ever-rising property valuations, and perpetually available financing were permanent features of the economic landscape.

And…fucking spoiler alert…they weren’t. In fact, just days ago, on October 29, I wrote a piece called The Commercial Real Estate Crisis Is Far From Over, arguing that the disappearance of commercial real estate from the financial headlines didn’t mean the losses had disappeared from the balance sheets.

I highlighted research from Trepp showing that 75% of Class A office loans in a sample of maturing commercial mortgage-backed securities would require additional equity to refinance, compared with 61% of Class B and C properties.

And now, just days later, we have another spectacular example of exactly what I’ve been talking about. According to a new report from The Wall Street Journal, Brookfield, one of the largest real estate investment firms in the world, is walking away from a roughly $600 million luxury apartment tower in downtown Los Angeles, less than four years after the building opened.

In a zero rate environment, the building would likely be a success at this occupancy rate. But today…and just think about the absurdity of this…a nearly brand-new, 95%-occupied luxury residential skyscraper, developed at a reported cost of $600 million, has become a property its owner would rather abandon than refinance..

BREAKING: Trump DOJ sends criminal target letters to about 20 DEMOCRATS — including Marc Elias and a DSCC official — over the “Decoy Dan” scheme to steal Alaska’s Senate seat, per NYT

Investigators are reportedly looking at possible donor fraud and conspiracy charges

That included a “Dan J. Sullivan” put on the ballot alongside Sen. Dan Sullivan, and an Elias Law Group attorney was reportedly part of it

Fresh reporting in Mideast regional outlets suggesst a major escalation in Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia. While drones and missiles have been launched on Saudi territory almost daily since September, a new report says that Houthi militants are actually conducting ground force incursions.

In a development that’s been largely unreported, “The Houthis have launched multiple cross-border raids into Saudi Arabia in recent months, in an expansion of the conflict beyond Yemen, a western and Arab official with direct knowledge of the raids told Middle East Eye.”

Not sure, but its possible that Ivan Ranklin is involved with this.
Hope Childers converts this into normal English soon.

“The Supreme Court has ordered Hillary Clinton to respond to President Trump’s petition seeking to revive his dismissed lawsuit over the alleged 2016 Russia collusion narrative.”

“On Tuesday, the Court told the former Democratic presidential nominee she must answer a cert petition from President Donald Trump that aims to restore his civil case accusing her and others of conspiring to push a false collusion story ahead of the 2016 election. Clinton and her civil co-defendants had already waived their right to respond. The justices stepped in anyway and set a Nov. 27 deadline for her brief.”

It has been a wild few days in the gold market. While we were too optimistic on Friday as gold was hammered down to a new 13-month low at USD 3,870, yesterday’s and today’s action prove that the bulls are still alive. The case for a tricky bottom somewhere around USD 3,900 to 4,000 therefore remains on the table.

Nevertheless, gold has been selling off hard for more than 10 weeks, and reversing this downtrend will take time and considerably more effort from the bulls. At current levels, we do not see attractive risk/reward for initiating new short positions. Rather, gold could rebound & recover some of its lost ground at any time.

Sex-selective clauses in surrogacy agreements are exposing a growing trend of treating children as commodities.

A homosexual couple rented a Chinese woman in a rural village for £93,000 ($125,000) to serve as a surrogate – but plans to ask for a partial refund if she gives birth to a girl. According to The Christian Institute, the two men “used genetic testing to prioritise the implantation of male embryos.” Surrogacy is banned in China, and surrogacy payments are illegal in the U.K., except for costs deemed to be “reasonable expenses.”

The province of Ontario is moving one step closer to a digital identification system after announcing it plans to gradually phase in what it says are “optional” health cards and driver’s licenses for those who want them.

The provincial government under Premier Doug Ford announced the plan a couple of days ago and says it will start with the Ontario Photo Card, an ID for people who do not have a driver’s license.
