BEIJING — China is set to tighten controls on  silver  exports from Thursday, expanding restrictions on the once-ordinary metal critical to the U.S. industry and defense supply chains.

 CHINA'S LARGEST SOLAR FARM IS DOING A LOT MORE THAN GENERATING ENERGY BY MARK COWLEY   DEC. 30, 2025 10:45 AM EST The world's largest cluster of solar farms can be found in Qinghai, China, high on the remote Tibetan Plateau. It's far bigger than the USA's largest solar farm, and it's one of several megaprojects that the Chinese government hopes will push the country towards a future where most of its electricity is produced from renewable resources. The Qinghai cluster can produce almost 17,000 megawatts of power, according to the New York Times, but it isn't just a huge producer of energy.

  How Trump’s tariffs hit Americans: Rising costs and global backlash WASHINGTON – President  Donald Trump  had been in office less than three months when he slapped retaliatory  tariffs  on imports from dozens of countries, arguing the duties would benefit American companies that have been treated unfairly by foreign nations. But Trump’s tariffs drove up prices for American consumers, sowed confusion and anger aboard (even among some U.S. allies), and decimated American farmers. And now, those higher prices are going to work their way down to our pocketbooks, while our former trading partners are forming new alliances, cutting America out of the loop, in a move that will last for years to come. Thanks a BUNCH, you MAGA morons….

  WASHINGTON – America is different now. In just a few months, President  Donald Trump  has instituted a series of policies that have been stunning in scope. He ordered the arrest and deportation of thousands of hard working immigrants, sent the National Guard into the streets of some of the nation’s largest cities, and directed the military to blow up boats at sea, killing over a hundred low level smugglers while pardoning his pal who was convicted of brings tons of drugs into the country. He gave tax breaks to the wealthy and cut food stamps and other safety-net programs for the poor, neutered the Department of Education, touched off trade wars with Canada, China and the European Union, and publicly urged the Department of Justice to prosecute adversaries like former FBI director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, while buddying up with Putin and cutting aid to Ukraine, calling them the aggressor, and alienating all of our former allies in Europe. ...

  President Donald Trump slammed "rigged" polls, saying that his "real" job approval rating is 64%. In a  Truth Social  post Tuesday night, Trump argued that the media and polling industry have long worked hand in glove to undercut him, insisting Americans are experiencing a far stronger country than the numbers suggest. "The polls are rigged even more than the writers," Trump wrote. "The real number is 64%, and why not, our Country is 'hotter' than ever before." Actually, without the uninformed/misinformed FOXSheep he’d be in the single digits, in the US and around the world, they they REALLY hate him.

  Trump Issues First Two Vetoes Of His Second Term And Raises Questions Of Retribution President Donald Trump made the  first two vetoes of his second term this week , rejecting  bipartisan bills  that would have aided the construction of a water pipeline in Colorado and added land to an area reserved for a Native American tribe in the Everglades. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), one of the lawmakers who backed the water pipeline legislation, slammed Trump’s veto and raised questions about the rationale for it. “Nothing says ‘America First’, like denying clean drinking water to 50,000 people in Southeast Colorado,” she said in a blistering statement to  Colorado 9News journalist Kyle Clark on Tuesday. “I sincerely hope this veto has nothing to do with political retaliation,” she added, ironically.

 I wonder how much the insiders made, on the inside information? Gold, silver prices fall after CME raises precious metals margins — again PUBLISHED WED, DEC 31 2025 8:18 AM EST UPDATED AN HOUR AGO CME Group, one of the world’s largest trading floors for commodities,  said  on Tuesday that margins for gold, silver, platinum, and palladium would increase AGAIN  after the close of business on Wednesday.

 They ARE, on January 1, one trading day from now…. Not saying silver is the same as rare earths, BUT, there’s a bit of a precedent. After China slashed its export quotas by about 40% in 2010 and temporarily halted shipments to Japan over a maritime dispute, prices for certain rare earths skyrocketed.    • Massive Increases: Average export prices rose from approximately $9,461 per metric ton in 2009 to nearly $67,000 in 2011 .    • Specific Element Extremes: Elements like Dysprosium oxide (used in magnets) saw a 26-fold increase, jumping from around $91/kg in early 2009 to over $2,300/kg by August 2011.   

  Why Warren Buffett Prefers Silver Over Gold in Investing By   THE INVESTOPEDIA TEAM   Updated November 15, 2025 Reviewed by   ANDY SMITH Warren Buffett has been vocal about how he feels gold lacks value because it lacks usefulness. A key principle of value investing, as Buffett practices it, is that you should only invest in things that serve some practical purpose.  Silver  has myriad uses, such as in medicine, water purification, and electronics. Buffett has invested nearly $1 billion and continues to buy.

 This was the Trumpies effort at market manipulation. It worked, for about a day…. Surging silver and gold slide after CME raises margin requirements   NEW YORK >> Silver and gold futures fell sharply Monday after the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, one of the world’s largest trading floors for commodities, asked traders to put up more cash to make bets on precious metals with prices surging this year. This year, gold futures are up 65% and silver has more than doubled. The CME raised margin requirements for gold, silver and other metals in a notice posted to the exchange’s website Friday. These notices require traders to put up more cash on their bets in order to insure against the possibility that the trader will default when they take delivery of the contract. Exchanges sometimes boost margin requirements when a commodity or other security goes on a significant run. In its notice, the CME said it was raising margin requirements “per the normal review of market volatility...

 If you’re his pal, nothing is too egregious, from bringing TONS of drugs into the country, to accepting $50,000 cash in a paper bag.  Get it? Or just not give a shit? Undercover FBI agents posing as private contractors had recorded Homan accepting $50,000 in cash in exchange for Homan’s vow to help get border enforcement contracts in the new Trump administration. Charges were dismissed….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  “He seems obsessed with gold and putting his name on things and remodeling buildings and rebuilding monuments to himself,” he said. Axelrod declared that the president has a “Marie Antoinette thing” going on. “That is a big political problem and not for him ... but  Republicans  should be really concerned about what they’re seeing,” he said, “because most people don’t like it.”

 Surprisingly, MTG has stood up for the values that the HYPOCRITES don’t have. “Our side has been trained by Donald Trump to never apologize and to never admit when you’re wrong.” Read the inside story of how Marjorie Taylor Greene went from zealous Trump cheerleader to his loudest Republican critic:

  A federal judge on Tuesday rejected the Trump administration's claim ‍that ‍it is legally barred from ⁠securing funding for the U.S. Consumer Financial ​Protection Bureau, finding that this ‍would violate an existing court order ⁠barring the administration from shutting the agency down.

  Trump promised us low food prices  the moment we hit day one but then that never happened and our grocery bills are not fun and he  fired all the watchdogs  who kept eyes out for corruption and then  started slinging tariffs  like a mad man with consumption while  imagining war-torn Gaza as a resort opportunity  he decked the  White House out in gold with garish-snoot impunity  and said he’d let  Canada become our 51st state  while he  pardoned Jan. 6ers  like a tyrannical ingrate and installed  Robert F. Kennedy Jr.  as the head of all our health and care thus letting  anti-vaxxers bring back diseases  once-rare then he  accepted a jet from Qatar  because ethics don’t apply to him and  left the Paris climate deal  cause climate change is fine with him and  gave the Gulf of Mexico a brand new name entirely and spoke of global  dictators he looks upon admirably  ...

  Silver soars after tumbling on Monday, capping 2025 with another wild ride PUBLISHED TUE, DEC 30 2025 4:44 AM EST-UPDATED  56 MIN AGO SHARE Share Article via Facebook Share Article via Twitter Share Article via LinkedIn Share Article via Email KEY POINTS Silver futures hit a record high overnight to Monday, reaching $80 an ounce for the first time, but gains evaporated.  After ending Monday 8.7% down, the white metal was up 7% on Tuesday.

 F*ck you Trump! New Year’s Eve Concerts at Kennedy Center Are Canceled Future concerts cancelled after President Trump’s name being added to the arts center.

 until you realize it was up MORE than that the day before, AND, this is after YUUGE $$$ was thrown at it, by banks, billionaires and governments, trying to break the price. And it’s coming back as we speak. Will be interesting to see how it shakes out, but the fundamentals haven’t changed.  Way more demand than supply and there’s only one way that ends…..

 with their massive SELL orders have had the desired effect and they’ve brought down the price of an essential/precious metal, which is easier with skeleton crews at work over the holidays and algorithms in charge. The only question is how LOW will silver go and if/when it becomes a BUY while it’s temporarily On Sale. The supply side shortages and upcoming, (Jan 1), government restrictions haven’t changed, but a temporary manipulation in the price has, and the question remains. Do I wanna get greedy and gamble on it going higher, once it settles out, or just be happy with triple digit gains? Very interesting…..

 

  Scientists define six traits that make a person ‘cool’ – and they transcend borders In spite of cultural variations, cool people were universally perceived as being more extroverted, hedonistic, powerful, adventurous, open, and autonomous, researchers from the  American Psychological Association  found.

 to flood the opening market with SELL orders may work, as they try to do a temp’fix’ on silver, letting some of them bail on their shorts. IF it does, it’s only temporary, as the underlying principles don’t change. Too little silver and too much demand, BUT, there may be hiccups along the way. I just KNOW that if there’s a way for the Trumpies to manipulate the market and make a bunch of $$$ along the way, just like they’ve done with the BILLIONS the assholes have made in crypto, there’s NO DOUBT that they’ll do it….and they have a yuuuuge amount of financial and political power, to push it lower. Can’t change the facts though…Am hoping it can hold over $70, with all the pressure that’s gonna be on it as silver is hammered by the forces trying to keep it DOWN, including Elon Musk’s BILLIONS.  BUT, they’ll still have to BUY silver to keep their factories going, and China, plus possibly US, will put restrictions on after January 1, so this is a temporary setback, IF it works….

 Or getting geography lessons from a ‘flat earther’? Getting golf lessons from Charles Barkley? BUT, the MAGA morons get their ‘news’, which forms their entire view of the world, from a Republican Propaganda Network, where ‘Dems BAD—Pubs GOOD’ dictates what gets reported. And they think they’re informed… Totally screwed up, but it explains a LOT, especially how we got a LYING, morally bankrupt, greedy, grifter/conman, wannabe dictator in the White House. Thanks again, Rupert….
