Bill, I voted for the lesser of two evils. Sometimes the good a person does out ways the bad they do. I don't like many of the things I read, some of your examples today among them, but I firmly believe we are better off today than if the Harris was elected as president. Your opening today, "When the money goes everything else rots". I fear we are not far from this outcome. Don't sell any hard assets.

I understand your position but isn't the lesser of two evils still evil? To me it's like deciding whether to eat at McDonald's or Wendy's. No matter which one you choose you are still going to be eating slop.

Yes, but to be sure it is the "slop" of my choosing. The slop is what the polticos are offering, so choose your slop or opt out.

Oh my god Bill, this missive is absolutely whataboutism, it is truly pitiful. You berate the proletariat who vote their values, the same values that are derived from a polical system filled with lies and false promises. The polical system that is designed to trick the folks who work for a living, those whose time is filled with family and work, not having the energy nor the time to vet the lies and promises of the poltical class whom through systemic corruption must do what they do to stay in office in order to make the preponderance of their incomes off-the-books or front running the market. You Bill make fun of the Americans who work for a living, shameful.

Also Peter Navarro was found in contemp of court by the Biden administration and was incarcerated for four months while the independent Attorney General Eric Holder "wing man" to Barrock "the savior" Obama was in contempt of court and faced nothing more than a footnote.

Also Bill you throw shade on the Trump administration and the Trump family, for as you state "purported" front running the market as reported by the let legacy media, yet never a comment about a Hunter and Burisma.

Very good sport today!

According to the Great Elon's Grok Bill has criticized the Biden Regime -"He’s criticized how the Biden administration piled on trillions in debt, kept spending like there’s no tomorrow, and fed the same dysfunctional system both parties support."

But isn't Trump going beyond the realm with his scams - has any president while in office ever sold as much junk as Trump? Classic example: the $59.99 Bible printed in China for $3 a pop. Especially knowing that the Trump Administration paints China as an existential threat to the US.

Well, I sorta agree. If I were King I would make it ironclad LAW, punishable by SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND 10 years in prison for EACH occurrence and total disgorgement of profits to pay down debt of government and make EVERY member of Congress Comply and EVERYONE in White House and DOD and so forth. But of course after Biden Inc went to work and their DOJ laughed and walked away, precedent was set and Trump said what is good for goose is good for gander and on we go. I am NO fan of Witcoff btw. Not a big fan of Navarro either. And not Jared But DON JR? DONT LIKE HIM AT ALL. HE IS JUST HUNTER BIDEN WITHOUT THE COKE. My opinion.

I also agree with Tom's analysis and think an EPIC crash is coming and maybe as bad as 29-39. And Gold will tank initially (but rebound later and then skyrocket) and bitcoin too as people sell what they CAN to finance buying SpacEx and also pay the margin clerk on already tanking stocks. I sold my few sheckles of tech this am. Tidy profit and will hold cash until I decide what to do with it....I hold enough gold now dont need more. Maybe more silver. Holding Palantir as I think its going a lot higher due to government spending and the insatiable need to spy on us americans....so why not profit from it?

My two cents and I am not a registered or certified investment counselor YOU do what you want.

I downsized this year. Paid down and out of most debts. And hold gold and I am good to go. Have cash in various places and forms. Will Iran war end? Not in my view. Witcoff Jared and Rubio and Vance are peaceniks and have Donalds ear and he is the Fool on the Hill thinking Iran will do what it signs off on. NOT And thinks Pakistan is a good actor. NOT. And thinks nobody will sell or GIVE Iran a nuclear bomb or missile. NOT. Then what? ARMAGGEDON.

Strap in boys and girls. We live in interesting times.

As I began reading the article I thought Bill was referencing the Biden family...

Smart comment; I laughed out loud.

Trump ran on the slogan "Make America Great Again" when it was really all about making Trump great again.

"And no one has ever had so much influence to sell as the 46th president of the USA." Freudian slip or slip into incoherence? Do better.

The corruption of this administration makes Biden and Obama look like rank amateurs. As Bill asks, where is the outrage? And as for draining the swamp, it has been expanded to serve Trump and his cronies.

Bill, I'm not surprised by your insightful observations of the artful methods by which Trump & Family are exploiting his office for financial gain. (However, you missed the gift of the Boeing 747).

But, frankly, what would you expect from a man with a ready-fire-aim disposition who is a convicted felon, tax cheat, philanderer; a man found guilty of sexual assault who orchestrated a violent attempt to overthrow the US government.

To add insult to injury, he would not be in office had Biden's spouse and close advisors admitted early on that he was mentally slipping.
