They did it again. COMEX/Trumpies raised the margin requirement for holding a silver futures contract, by several thousand dollars, trying to manipulate the price of silver, in the US.

 And it caused a dip, or, as I’ve said here, a buying opportunity, cuz their gyrations do NOTHING to change the worldwide shortage, BUT, it gives insiders (Trumpies) a chance to profit on inside information 

Whoa! This just in. The US mint just suspended sales of silver coins, due to extreme demand and lack of supply. Wow!

US Mint Ends 2016 American Silver Eagle Rationing | CoinNews
Yes, the U.S. Mint has temporarily suspended sales of certain silver products, specifically numismatic (collector) silver coins, as of mid-January 2026, due to extreme silver price volatility and high costs, pausing to review pricing, though they continue to produce bullion versions and adjust strategies, which is a recurring event when demand spikes or costs shift dramatically, according to reports from early 2026. 

And, while the price is now about $90/oz, after dropping to about $81 immediately after margin manipulation, 
the actual price of ‘delivered silver’ is about $104, and rising.

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

BUT, am still wearing the necklace. Has been a tradition, for over 30 years, to wear the necklace, 'for awhile', until I lose the feeling, of the beach, in Mexico. Can't say why, but, still have it on. "Tis a sad day, when I take it off, and am not ready to go there, yet. Don't ask. 'Tis an old tradition...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...
