It’s Pearl Harbor Day. Fly your flag. Not in honor of FDR, who probably caused it to happen, or the Japs who did it, but to honor brave servicemen everywhere for their service. You housewives love to bake wonderful cookies and cakes at this time of year, and we guys love to eat them! My […]
You buy a steak, and leave it at the grocers? You buy a car and leave it on the lot? Of course not, because you want to eat the steak and drive the car. Simple! Then, why buy silver or gold, and let some bozo ’store it’ for you? You might want to use that […]
A long habit of not thinking a thing WRONG, gives it a superficial appearance of being RIGHT. Thomas Paine, February 14, 1775. Why are the majority, so stupid? Is it because that for so long, not thinking things either wrong or stupid, gives them an aurora (aura?) of being smart and correct? Is it because […]
Ever stop to think that they had it right a long time ago? Wonder why I don’t read newspapers? This is from a 1937 book by Ferdinand Lundberg, titled “America’s 60 Families.” “The class inhibitions that haunt the contemporary press under its multimillionaire ownership are responsible in large measure for the neurotic character of American […]
Ever stop to think what a refrigerator, (ice box to us oldsters), would look like if the D.C. Gang made it? Just imagine a government built refrigerator. Or a government built car, or TV set even. First of all, the refrigerator would probably cost about $5,000, break a lot, not get too cold, and use […]
Sinking money value, is a classic sign of a declining nation. Check history and see for yourself. Ours is classic. Currently, there are some advantages to a sinking dollar, but not too many. One advantage is that it makes American exports more competitive. Except that we don’t make much to export. Our factories are mostly […]
I well remember 1980, because I began dealing in precious metals in November of 1977. I began with North American Coin and Currency in 1977, and quit March 1st of 1980 when I knew they were going kaput. In 1980, gold went to $850 and silver $54, or a ratio of about 16 to 1. […]
My two favorite holidays are July 4th and Thanksgiving, so on the eve of Thanksgiving, I want everyone to give thanks for everything good and gracious. Give thanks for being an American, or for being in America. Give thanks for the remaining freedoms we still have. Give thanks for our up-bringing and our wonderful parents […]
The Congress shall have the power to…coin Money (and) regulate the Value thereof. Article One, Section Eight, Constitution of the United States of America. In other words, printing fake $100 bills, is counterfeiting. Why do you think that when you present a hundred dollar bill to a cashier, she or he usually marks it with […]
A few items which may be of interest to you before I get into other things, maybe Monday. The ’destruction of America’ series will continue, as I think of other disasters, of which there are plenty, but other things must be said as well, so here goes. The U.S. Mint has ceased production of the […]
