Newhouse was one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach President Donald Trump after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack at the Capitol.

“This decision comes with no reservations or remorse, only gratitude for the tremendous opportunity to have represented my home state in Congress,” Newhouse wrote in a statement.

His departure from Capitol Hill could leave Rep. David Valadao (R-Calif.) as the only remaining House Republican who voted to impeach Trump serving after November’s election. But Valadao faces a tough reelection in a battleground district. And on the Senate side, where many who voted to convict Trump have already left or announced plans to retire, GOP Sens. Bill Cassidy (La.) and Susan Collins (Maine) are facing competitive races this cycle. Should they lose, it could leave Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) as the only GOP senator who voted against Trump remaining.

Old news, but did you realize what was happening when the news broke?  Now, why would you secure 2 years of silver mining streams with a silver miner if silver was easy to get?  They’ll take the interest on the loan (to Silver Storm( there’s a storm coming son!)), but the price of silver is not capped, they just want to be the only customer!!  This tells you how industrial users of silver are feeling right now….a little paranoid about silver supply.

Vows if peace talks fail, “Russia will achieve liberation of its historical lands by military means.”

President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that European leaders have continued stoking and hyping fears that Russia seeks expansion and that it is prepared even to go to war with EU and NATO countries. He went so far as to call EU officials “European swine” for their role in fueling the proxy war.

He again emphasized that Moscow is in no way seeking war with Europe. “I have repeatedly stated: this is a lie, nonsense, pure nonsense about some imaginary Russian threat to European countries. But this is being done quite deliberately,”

New here, but sounds like a lot of posters are paranoid about winning…strange.

Have a plan, so you don’t plan to fail.  Here are some  numbers I put together as I think everyone should if and when things get super crazy(ier).  Those who do not study history are bound to repeat the mistakes of the past.  I am sure this is not the best plan, but it is my plan.  When my “targets” are hit, I will start to liquidate gold and silver holdings.

Enjoy the madness.

Trump’s Marijuana Move Has Democrats Nervous, CNN Analyst Says

https://www.lifezette.com/2025/12/trumps-marijuana-move-has-democrats-nervous-cnn-analyst-says-watch/

(I wrote this on Monday, before any inkling that President Trump would be making an address to the nation tonight.  I don’t know if it is about actions against Venezuela, or if he will directly announce a ban against ownership of Silver, or do so in an undeclared, back handed way?  Either way, I thought there would be a little bit more time to implement a plan.  Now, I am not so sure?)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Gold & Silver stackers have had it easy for the last few years, even if it sometimes didn’t feel easy.  All you had to do(which I have stressed for years) is buy physical, and even some miners from time to time, on every dip.  The hard part begins now.  You need an exit plan of how you are going to proceed going forward.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Ideally, one wants to be out of all fiat and fiat related accounts and holdings.(Not withstanding the small amounts for daily expenses) until the time that barter and black market transactions become necessary.  Before we get to that phase(and it could be thrust upon us in the blink of an eye) one wants to map out a general outline of what you are going to end up holding.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Having been almost an all out exclusive Silver bug, I am starting to plan when and in what time frames, I switch OUT of Silver and into GOLD!  I will keep small fractional silver, for barter and blackmarket transactions, but totally expect that some level of silver confiscation is all but inevitable.  Whether it is just the ETF’s, and those with thousands of ounces, or gets down to the smaller stackers, I don’t know.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                The government needs to procure as much silver as possible and there is historical precedent for banning and confiscation from the populace.  Even if they don’t go door to door looking for smaller amounts, the fact that they might make it illegal to own, will make doing so a losing proposition. When the COMEX & LBMA declare “force majeure” because they don’t have the metal to back all the outstanding paper, if the government makes ownership illegal, the real physical price might go to $200-$300 per ounce but the spot price that they settle the contracts at could be $100 or less.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       No one, except black marketeers, will buy it from you.  Unlike 1934, because Gold is not currently a direct part of the monetary system and because it isn’t essential to millions of everyday products the way silver is, it is highly unlikely that Gold will be taken, this time around.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       I don’t have a crystal ball and I sometimes throw out scenarios that may seem out there, however my track record not just on market calls, but likely conspiracy theories, has been pretty good.  I really like Silver, but think that when the SHTF, gold is going to be what you need to be holding.  Have an exit plan and start implementing it sooner, rather than later.

YES FGC “IT AIN’T NORMAL”

SAY IT WITH ME….THIS AINT NORMAL

John Campbell, Ph.D., said widespread use of palliative drugs on COVID-19 patients suppressed breathing and caused many preventable deaths, especially in U.K. care homes. The resulting death toll made COVID-19 appear far deadlier than it was, helping to justify sweeping global restrictions, including lockdowns, mass vaccination campaigns and mask mandates, Campbell said.

“This is a complete national outrage that is largely being ignored,” he said.

In an interview on political commentator Russell Brand’s “Stay Free” podcast, Campbell said the routine use of midazolam and morphine — drugs intended for end-of-life care — to treat COVID-19 patients created a lethal combination that suppressed breathing and oxygenation. In terminal care, clinicians often escalate doses of opioids and sedatives to control pain and agitation. When used repeatedly, those drugs depress respiration, Campbell said.

During the pandemic, similar drug regimens were administered to COVID-19 patients who were not actually dying.

How to use the 2026 Market crash to get rich

Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis are trading jabs after Ford announced he won’t be travelling to Florida this winter — and suggested the Sunshine State’s tourism industry is “hurting” as Canadians allegedly boycott the U.S. amid trade tensions.

That claim didn’t sit well with DeSantis, who fired back on X, pointing to record-breaking tourism numbers and reminding Canadians that Florida continues to “break tourism records and win Stanley Cups.”

HAHAH…THAT ONE STINGS MORE THAN ANY AMERICAN CAN UNDERSTAND

THE FLORIDA PANTHERS AND TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING HAVE WON HOCKEYS GREATEST PRIZE THE STANLEY CUP A COMBINED 4 OF THE LAST 6 YEARS

ONTARIOS TEAMS ..OTTAWA SENATORS HAVE NEVER WON A STANLEY CUP AND THE TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS LAST WON IN 1967 !

NO CANADIAN TEAM HAS WON SINCE 1993 …THIS IS A PAINFUL SITUATION FOR CANADIANS AND DESANTIS NAILED IT 🙂

BTW – Another Rhode Island briefing going on as I type, I think what is here is better then what they are giving the public, sadly.

Hoping they bring the guy on the top to justice for the two young folks.

—– Update —–

From an earlier comment Highroller is mentioning that the subject is known, his comment “BREAKING: Brown University, Rhode Island shooting suspect has been identified as Mustapha Kharbouch, a radical Islamic, pro-Jihad student at Brown whose X account has suddenly mysteriously disappeared. This is why the Democrat authorities in Providence and mainstream media has been covering up his identity from us… It’s not a very good look/narrative for them. Kharbouch has reportedly now fled the university and is missing… BRING HIM TO SWIFT AMERICAN JUSTICE. We are at war with Islam.”

The Providence briefing is on going and nothing like this has yet been mentioned, if true shame on them. Them being the briefers in Providence conducting the news event.
