@Fynnderella1 Seven years of topical steroid withdrawal. It was unimaginable. Top derms told me I'd have to be on them for life. I said we'll see about that! Long story short, I recovered, am happily ts free, and haven't used the poison in more than 10 years.

Be honest: What the most physically painful thing you’ve ever survived? For me, 2 babies with no meds, racing 5 stages in Belgium on a bicycle with 2 broken ribs and most recently, 13 weeks post op from rotator cuff & biceps tendon reattachment…., You?

@StefanMolyneux It's because every case of the flu was called "covid".

I don’t understand the science of why the Covid virus almost completely wiped out the flu virus Help?

@RealCandaceO Wow! These four people have over 33.3M followers on X alone.

Why is my name in quotation marks though?

@RepLuna @JamesOKeefeIII How about dropping the birth certificate requirement and adding a 5 year mandatory prison sentence for any non-citizen who votes?

Reason #352 why we must pass the SAVE America Act: @JamesOKeefeIII exposes massive election fraud in California, NGOs paying homeless to register to vote and signing ballot petitions with fake addresses. The American people want to put an end to this madness.

It's a Hollywood handsome-off. And the winner is?

@Emilio2763 Looks like a bra with long sleeves.

That’s a Magic Shirt…

I was planning on another long post about Silver, but I am somewhat burned out TBH. So just a few things. 1. There is a physical shortage. For the last 5 years, demand for physical is exceeded actual silver mined. It's not from retail hoarding coins. It's industrial users. When countries starting pushing EV mandates, whether it cars, solar panels etc, it ratcheted up demand for silver. That is how I really got turned on to silver instead of Gold back in 2020 when the Biden admin started serious pushing a "green" initiative. Imagine my surprise when Rostum Behnam "Tamped Down" on the January 2021 squeeze and Silver was held below $30 for the next 3 years. That's when I seriously stopped looking at the Macro story and delved into the Bullion banks spoofing, borrowing from SLV to smash silver in illiquid times, the underperformance of PSLV because Wall Street shorted it to force Sprott to unload physical silver. Which then got me wondering, why is Wall Street so desperate for physical. Which drew me to China using the suppressed prices to move physical to Shanghai from London. Which lead me to why China wanted silver so much (aside from historical reasons) and that lead me to see videos where solar panel farms are being put all over Chinese deserts. I am old enough to remember the commodity spike in 2004-7 when China stockpiled materials ahead of the Beijing Olympics. It's one reason I in 2004 I called USD/CAD going to par and it reached it in 2007. Well, what's happening now just isn't a repeat of that demand. Its more strategic this time given promotion of the BRIC's, the trade wars, the critical mineral controls. And I am still gob smacked the US just sat by for the last two decades and let China drain away silver and Gold stocks. Epic fail. Anyway, back to the core topic. Demand exceeds supply and so then people will say, at $80 bucks people will recycle silver and it will flood in. Ok. (a) Silver used for industry is not easy to recycle. Medical uses..nope, to small and expensive. Same with what's in phones. Car components..eh..maybe small amounts. Solar panels..those things have 20 year life cycles apparently. So that leaves Mom's silverware and Dad's junk silver. Except, a lot of that was handed in in 1980 and then in 2011. What's left is still at a backlog because there are not enough silver refiners. They are backlogged. So, it will take years for supply from recycling to even contribute significantly to supply. New mines? Most Silver is a by product from copper and zinc. You want more silver, you need copper high enough to get more copper extracted. There are principal silver mines, but the mines in Mexico and South America are largely played out, takes money to get to the deeper stuff. But Citadel has made a habit of shorting silver juniors so funding has been made very difficult. But ok, say the mines can get the funding, it still takes years to get 100% operational and sending ore out consistently. In the meantime, new demand is arising from players like Samsung and their Solid state EV battery. So to everyone looking at RSI's and saying silver is going to reverse in a week and crash below 50, you just don't get the fundamental story is changing. This is a real physical supply shortage, and plus with Gold being bid by continued concern over fiat debasement, that will only reinforce the silver bid There, and that was a short TED talk on Silver.

There is this bad info going around about "Silver market cap" flipping Apple or Bitcoin. This is wrong. Silver is not like Gold. Gold once it is mined and refined sits in vaults or jewelry. All gold ever mined still exists. Silver is consumed by industry. It is turned into a conductive silver paste that is applied to products. It is very difficult to recycle because such a tiny amount of silver is used in each. So it is not worthwhile to recycle. Only about 20% of silver is recycled from e-waste. The $4.4 trillion "market cap" for silver is assuming that all 56 billion oz of silver that has been mined throughout history ... is still around and available. It is NOT. Probably 80% of the silver has been consumed by industry. It is buried in landfills. It doesn't make sense to recycle it because it costs $200+ per oz to try to recover it. They have tried burning the e-waste, they have tried using chemicals to recover the silver. It always costs more than the silver is worth, so they give up. If there were 56 billion oz of silver available around the world, then the price wouldn't be going through the roof. All of the silver mining around the world produces about 820 million oz per year, and it is declining. Recycling (jewelry, silverware, some e-waste) produces 190 million oz per year. Global demand for silver is about 1.2 billion oz per year. That is the problem. Demand exceeds supply by 100-200 million oz per year and there is not enough extra silver in vaults to handle it anymore. And now China is starting export restrictions on January 1, 2026.

@PeterLBrandt Silver won't top until gold does. Keeping my eye on the COT Commercials.

Hey serious question for you veteran commodity futures traders with at least 20 years of experience ---- Does this feel "half-mast" or "final blow off" to you? Gut level, what do you think? I will only care what you think if your X acct is verified and more than 10 years old

@DavidBCollum Seemed like it took me forever to read that. Worth every second. Thank you.

@harryfisherEMTP Why is Covid vaccine status pertinent medical information?

Seeing a mother lay flat on the floor crying, wailing, over her child… and then asking her questions about Covid vaccines for pertinent medical information is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. There’s no protocol for the sound a mother makes in that type of agony, you just bear it, do your job, and carry the memory home. God bless

As a proud kid of the 70’s….. I completely agree with everything said here. We lived and learnt our childhood. You grew up…..quick. There will never be another generation like it.😊

In our current environment of inflation, constant wars, financial and moral bankruptcy, loss of privacy, political, stalemates, and inner-city violence, it is socialism that is preached throughout our universities. The solution proposed in Indiana is to indoctrinate with a wonderfully sounding program mandating the promotion of “American values.“ The problem is that the same people who contributed to the mess we’re in now will define what “American values” means. This can be very dangerous. Many would not agree with me on my most important definition of “American values“ —- Just leave the people alone! Reject the notion of aggression and respect the personal sovereignty for all. Our hyper-interventionist government interferes with all aspects of our lives. They don’t see “American values” in the way that liberty-loving Americans do. Government programs that seek to dictate “values” for every American has already failed. It’s not their role. Their role is to protect our freedoms. They should concentrate on that. dailycaller.com/2025/11/25/ind…

@MasculineTheory I've smoked it daily for 55 years and am doing fine. I know many people who have done the same. All successful in work, life, marriage, etc as well.

I know a guy that has smoked weed for 20 years. He can't sleep, eat or think properly, has tantrums, hasn't worked in 10 years, lost most friends and is hysterical toward the remaining social circle. I've rarely seen weed do more good than bad.

@LibertyBlitz It's absolutely terrifying to see what people accept in what used to be food.

The Campbell’s soup scandal is just the tip of the iceberg, and it’s going to get a lot worse. With people’s budgets already getting squeezed, the pressure will be enormous to insert more toxic ingredients into food just to keep prices from rising too much. Anyone else look at their kids Halloween candy this year? Half the items I grew up on suddenly have bioengineered items in them. I had never noticed this before. And if you think this will only affect “poor people” think again. It’s coming for everyone. We are already deep in the process of reorienting our lives to ensure our family has access to high quality, locally sourced food. Our goal is for our community to be our grocery store and we are well on our way to achieving this. Truly high quality food is not going to scale in this environment, it will need to be local and we need to be prioritizing this now.

@CyclesFan Only an idiot would say what you just said. Wake up. Look up!

The survival of socialism is a failure of our education system.

@BitQuinn Also, being well diversified is the best way to protect my capital from catastrophic losses.

@BitQuinn I hear ya. But, I can double my money in selective stocks w/o waiting years to do it. Also, I fear the potential price suppression that may or may not be in effect. Like it was in silver for decades.

In 2017, Bitcoin saved our failing business... I was introduced to Bitcoin when it was around $1,000. My business partner and I had a dying business and needed a way out. I ran ops, and suddenly my partner stopped showing up to work and seemed to stop caring about our dying business. I asked him, “What’s going on? Where are you? Why aren’t you coming into the office?” He said, “I think I’ve discovered something.” (ETH at $5) He started telling me about Bitcoin and crypto in general as if he were a literal mad scientist and said, “You have to look into this.” So I did. We started attending meetups and conferences all over the world. We were on top of the world. We bought 200 BTC miners and sold them on Amazon for insane returns. We then bought 100 Dash miners that went bust. But we continued. We found that the headache of mining during bear markets was unsustainable for us and that just buying and holding was a win-win and has proved so since day one. Yes, the bear markets have been gut-wrenching. You watch all of your savings drop by 70%. You question everything, every time. But in the end, that’s when the next bull starts and you’re back on top of the world. I don’t come from money and, in fact, my parents live with me. I want to do things differently. I want to leave a legacy for my daughter. A story I am proud to tell, and finding the future of money when I did will be one of my favorite stories ever. The rest is still being written...

@BitQuinn Correction, 40% btc, not 10%.

@BitQuinn I found I could do better by diversifying some into stocks. I'm about 10% btc, 90% stocks. And I have that 90% diversified into a few sectors, including cash.
