Indeed it does, Kaiser!

Dazed and Confused, You provide a lot of useful information to digest! I’ve been concerned about the trend we are on for some time and especially over the last few years. I don’t like to dwell on our state of affairs because it is depressing and I like to keep an optimistic state of mind. But when Pa. can reelect a dead politician (Rep. Tony DeLuca), that task gets harder and harder. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, much appreciated!

He carpools with Romney, ya know, for mudder urf

Lol.

CPS – Coyote Parcel Service.

I wish the coyotes would take Mike Mezack south of the border…

Kaiser,

That reminds me of the 1998 comedy movie “The Waterboy” starring Adam Sandler as the son of Actress Kathy Bates’ character & she controls him with guilt basically to be a momma’s boy. So, she calls everybody else & every thing else “The Devil,” including his only ever girlfriend – “She’s the Devil, Bobby Boucher!”
Lol.
And, the laugh out loud scene where his new & only girlfriend in his 30-something year old life shows him her tits & he says, “I want to thank you for that…I’ve never seen anything like that before.” LOL.

I kicked my subscription up from 1 to 2, whether I keep it that way is to be seen
just looked and the Peace Proofs show as 77304 remaining, which indicates 30,000 or so suddenly were ‘subscribed’? I will be curious on that one!

Thanks. So a massive $4 premium. I guess flying to Memphis on his private jet to pick them up explains the rest of his $275 markup.

Roger, through the Advance Releases program, the dealers are able to place advance orders for the Proof American Silver Eagles and they are required to pay a 5% premium above the $80 per coin retail price from the Mint (plus costs of picking up the coins in Memphis, Tennessee).

I saw Magnificent Mike hawking his Advance Release, sold out at the Mint 2023 PRF ASE today. He claims the Mint charges him a huge premium for advance release coins.

Does anyone know what the Mint actually charges dealers for ASE through the Advance Release program?

And don’t forget, you are reading the history from the side of the victors. I don’t think Egypt ever posted a scene of a losing battle. They’ll embellish and say that 300 took on thousands. Brave. Bold. Daring. Heroic even. But, they lost. We still don’t have Greek fire because the victors kept it a secret. We still can’t replicate samurai and ninja swords and get their cutting edge on modern blades. Why, the victors kept it secret. Until they encountered muskets and pistols. Then swords were no use really so the tech was lost. So maybe history keeps repeating because it is propaganda and not fact that is being recorded. With so much national security, no way will many secrets be revealed, or how many laws broken to win. Conquistadors bragged about taking over south America while barely firing a shot. Looted gold and treasures (oddly not bitcoin or futures). Good job, you beat a civilization that didn’t even have the wheel. Now they claim the fighters stole and stored away much of the gold for themselves instead of the crown. Or they were robbed en route by pirates (thieves, robbers highway men of the water). But today for some reason is a call back to ww2. Biden thinks he’s the 2nd coming of roosevelt. Build this, build that, create jobs, new new new. Green green green. Patton had balloon tanks, China has balloon spy craft. Russia is the enemy like they were at start of ww2, not an ally like the end of ww2. Nukes are a big deal. Then and now. Japan replaced by China. Which is worse. The only main differences is we have no titans of industry, no mass production, resources are much more limited, no longer self reliant, and we don’t have a Churchill or MacArthur or Patton to fill in the gaps. British can’t even brexit, our military leader isn’t the best qualified, he wasn’t hired on content of character. And beginning with Ollie north, our regional generals have been fired or charged with crimes against the gubmint. Patreus and Lloyd (or whoever took over after Patreus went to cia). now that Lightfoot has been fired (voted out) she can be Eisenhower, instead of we like Ike, she’ll be i like dikes. Yellon and Powell will start the depression that bankrupt America just like prior to ww2. Speak softly and carry a big stick will be Joe Biden speaks softly and kamala rides a big stick. (The other roosevelt, different war, but close enough). We will continue repeating mistakes. And if we survive long enough, we’ll be able to wage war on the moon and Mars. Save us AI.
