Gold and silver prices were ‘Lifted by bullish outside market forces on this day that include a dip in U.S. Treasury yields and a sell off in U.S. stock indexes.

E.T. SAID THANKS – WE’RE ALL CHILDREN OF THE SUN https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XR2oct3zeTM
Hey Hey, My My, “Hey Hey Rise Up” is one cool Ukraine protest song. Nice to see Pink Floyd reunited after 28 years for this charitable cause. Many thanks Sir Kaiser for finding and sharing this timely, touching tune.
Roger Waters and David Gilmour sharing the same air-space would be an event in and of itself
I didn’t see him in the video I may have just leaped to the conclusion because of photos and mentions of reunion
Too bad.
Yes this has been going on for decades Waters liked to mix Politics and business but it all went south when he tried to convince his band mates to share some of their $$$ Billions with the less fortunate………….. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtTzX_XsjYs
You Sly Dog you got me again……. And I just want to Thank You for hanging out on top of the thread https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wj5VODa-eTY
I ran out Cherry Garcia – I’m not thinking clearly
That’s quite a checklist. Looks like you got all your bases covered. Hope you’re feeling better soon!
Hang in there Kaiser, these things pass but in-the-moment can be frightening & challenging and when all else fails
SENZA, a belated Hoppy National Beer Day, Bro!
Any change we can get National Pizza Day and National Beer Day together
Thanks Rich,
And Happy Brew Hah Day to you and Kaiser – I have been celebrating both on a daily basis and the more the merrier
What a beautiful pizza pie, now that’s amore!
Also, supposedly you won’t be allowed to step inside a Federal Building, including your local Post Office and Social Security Office, without one. Like the American Express Card, “Don’t leave home without it.”
Soon it’ll be an app on your phone. Talk about having a tether.
Those things look pretty handy – wonder if Walmart has them posted on the wall of shame next to the bathrooms
Oh but but they told me I’m not allowed in those buildings years ago….
Its already a flying circus fight club.
So there is a new high sensitivity monitoring chip in those Driver Licenses and State ID’s…… scan at your own risk
People are fed up with Gov look at this if you don’t believe me
Just do what Trump does – answer yes to all the questions and when they ask where all the bad things are just point to them and your free to go – I used to do this at border crossings all the time …..
Thanks for the news check and info on the P. O. and S. S. offices.
Because of it, I had to drop my middle name. When I was born, my parents decided not to give me a middle name and allow me to pick my own when I had my 1st communion. I loved that idea, so many of my classmates hated their middle names and I got to pick my own. I picked “Thomas”. My fathers name and also I liked the idea of tying my middle name to “Doubting Thomas” from the Bible. Even at that young age I was having doubts about religion.

Somebody stop me

His parents’ should have just named him Arson
And sent him to Sin City https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MyxIeza-jE
The Spirit also had a lot of beautiful women in it. Also made by Frank Miller. Are we seeing a theme, here?
By the way Sir Kaiser, have you read the novel Yellow River by I. P. Freely?
Sir Kaiser and Master Rich, I am laughing and I can’t stop

As long as the American Sheeple allow this – the enemies whom now hold American Government Office will continue to squeeze and control.
If we have a $12,500 standard IRS deduction why are the spy companies reporting every transaction we conduct of $600 or more to Putin’s puppets in the White Out House!
For those of you still wondering what THE END GAME looks like:
Yeah the capital gains alone has to be a killer for those dealers – the ones who actually report and pay that is

It’s Organic – that is her hair – she eats the seeds – grows the hair and then cuts it off https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UBRk5VhR3g
I’m all for bar codes right on the forehead. Papers please!
