The idea came easy for former Navy Officer Laura Deming. After hearing Hillary Clinton called Trump supporters “a basket of deplorables” she new it was time to act. That was followed by Peter Strzok texting his friend Lisa Page, “I’m in a Walmart in Southern Virginia and I can just smell the Trump support”. Thus was born - 'Deplorable Fragrances' (www.cult45llc.com).

"I figured I'd create a scent to go with the Trump movement," says Deming. Now she and her business partner, and former host of 'RedNationRising', Timothy Shea are selling 'Deplorable' & 'Deplorable Dude' perfume and cologne coast to coast (see short client bios below).

"We needed to make sure the Trump support we are seeing also had a fragrance that every liberal could smell," says Shea. "With Deplorable & Deplorable Dude' we have such a scent and one that's a perfect Christmas gift for the Trump supporter in your family."

Cult45 LLC., is a veteran own business and 'Deplorable' and 'Deplorable Dude' fragrances are made entirely in the USA. Be sure to check it out if you're stuck on a gift this holiday season. 

Will Bitcoin ever come back? It's down 80 percent from its peak of 19400. We predicted a crash on December 17, 2017, just two days after its all time high. There's more trouble ahead for the gold standard of cryptos. Will this industry even survive? Can crypto developers hang on? This year last time crypto developers could name their price, now not so much. Just goes to show you never can tell. 

When we last spoke with author Mark Shaw the Manhattan District Attorney, Cyrus Vance, Jr., had agreed to reopen the investigation of Dorothy Kilgallen's suspicious death. She had the inside track into the JFK assassination and it has long been believed that she knew too much. Through reader feedback, Mark found the original transcripts of the Jack Ruby trial and they are shocking. Evidently Ruby witnessed the assassination in Dealy Plaza and his ambush murder of Oswald in the Dallas Police Garage had been pre-planned. There's lots of other bombshells in this book that have never been revealed before. Definitely worth the read. 

Well maybe not, but maybe yes. Even though the market is up today, odds are according to John that it won't stay there. Gold and silver should be the beneficiaries of the market gyrations, eventually. John doesn't know when, but he knows unsustainable markets when he sees them, and he's seeing them now, bigly!

We just witnessed tremendous wild fires in California and a stupendous drop in Bitcoin to just $3661. California has a fiscal wildfire just getting started due to the new tax law, which will see record numbers of Californians abandoning the state to avoid their confiscatory tax rates. It will end badly as well for Bitcoin. The entire crypto space is unlikely to survive the next conflagration. It ain't gonna be pretty, that's for sure. 

Our good friend Ned Schmidt returns. He's bearish as ever on the fake IP driven stock market. He doesn't believe it has staying power or represents anything of value. Is he right? Gold has been dragging along at the low 1200's and silver even worse, but Ned thinks it's all about to change. Will the stock market return to realistic valuation levels or is this a case of the market remaining irrational longer than you can remain solvent?We'll soon find out. 

Wayne Jett has written a new report discussing the noticeable uptick in intensity of political activity since the November 6 U. S. elections. Creatures of the D. C. swamp, some of whom have serious crimes for which to account, are writhing with anxiety as they estimate whether Donald Trump's powers as
anti-Establishment U. S. president have shrunk or strengthened in the
wake of glaring voting fraud in Arizona, Florida, Georgia and perhaps
California and elsewhere.

Trump Fires Attorney General Jeff Sessions Attorney General Jeff Sessions Wednesday, following a yearlong public shaming campaign that has raised questions about whether the president improperly interfered with the Justice Department’s inquiry into Russian meddling in the 2016 election. Trump, who requested Sessions' resignation, named the attorney general's chief of staff Matthew Whitaker to serve as interim attorney general. Whitaker was Sessions' chief of staff and had been considered for a variety of jobs in the Trump administration, including the No. 2 post at Justice or as White House counsel. And now all hell is breaking loose with Democrats threatening new investigations and trying to get Whitaker to recuse himself concerning the Mueller Investigation. However, their efforts should prove unsuccessful according to John, it's clearly within the President's power to do so. 

Gordon T. Long has been watching auto sales for quite some time. Debt keeps going up and now sales are declining. Corporate debt has escalated and it has become a giant equity to debt swap. It can't keep going the way it's going and it won't. According to Gordon it's all just a matter of timing. The Fed will have to reverse course and flood the system with liquidity once again. Daddy where do business cycles come from? 

Credit is the life blood of modern business and the inability to obtain it can be its death knell. It's no secret that banks now avoid this type of lending like the plague. But Bruce Mack has the answer. Using his services, almost anyone can obtain credit quickly. Depending upon your FICO score, he's got the solution. 

Nick Santiago has had an amazing track record when it comes to predicting cycles. He called the 2007 peak to the day and the following bottom within 5 days. He's not worried about the current stock market jitters. He believes that the China-US trade spat will be settled by December 8, 2018 and he's put his money where his mouth is. Might not be a good idea to bet against him this time. 

John and I have been talking for years about finally getting to the dreaded Minsky Moment, that time when an overly debt laden economy ceases to function. We've seen it in Venezuela and in Zimbabwe. Could it happen here? That's the huge question. We may not be Venezuela or Zimbabwe, we could easily see another financial crisis within the next few years. And based upon market behavior, states getting ready to go bust and other bleak indicators, that moment could soon be upon us.

There's a reason why the republican party is the party of stupid. You can always count upon them to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. It's almost as if they want to lose and enjoy the process. Then they can avoid leading and simply complain about everything the dems are doing. It's a recipe for failure, which they seemingly embrace. No wonder they hate Trump. He plays to win and pulls out all the stops, unlike his party which embraces failure. Will they ever wise up? 

Eric Hadik joined us today. He's still looking for gold to higher in the remainder of the year, through the beginning of next year. Oil is headed lower as is the stock market. Dollar is getting into topping territory. Stock market appears to be stalled and could be in danger of a further correction. For now sideways is probably okay. 

Just had the pleasure of attending Jason Hartman's Profits in Paradise and his mastermind Venture Alliance. Besides being great fun there was much to be learned there. When I look at all the investment experts who've been on the show, Jason stands out from the crowd. With safe stable returns and a proven system for wealth accumulation, that's why I've decided to work with him as an investment councilor. 

I saw the devastation of the California wildfires up close and personal. It was horrifying. Fire knows no prejudice. It goes after everything and everyone in its path. Frightening. Our hearts go out to the people whose lives have been disrupted and damaged. But as always, it's largely the government's fault as well as rabid environmentalism. Believe it or not, the paper/wood industry is the forest's greatest friend. You wouldn't know it to hear the media, but its decline has led to greater and greater wildfires out West. And the trend will continue until we come to our collective senses. 

David Scranton joined us today. He's got some trepidation towards the economy. Signs of a slowdown appear to be abundant. But does this mean the stock market will decline? David thinks it probably will, but when is the question. Is the smart money heading for the exits? Usually these things happen when no one is expecting it. And let's not talk about the deteriorating political environment, where elections are stolen in plain sight. Now is the time for caution. 

Aaron is fed up with high tax states, especially when they have bad weather too. So his intention is to flee the People's Republic of Al Franken, otherwise known as Minnesota. He advises all young people to give up any attachment they may have to their native city or state and seek greener financial pastures elsewhere. There's plenty of low tax states and countries that will welcome you with open arms. Start thinking about it now, before you're the last one left to turn out the lights. 

Danielle joined us to discuss peak interest rates and the impending economic slow down. This might not be the beginning of the long awaited recession, but it certainly means that we're getting closer. The problem is that you never know you're in a recession until you look back a couple of years. Then it's very easy to see, but it's too late to do anything about it. Will this time really be different. 

Jeff writes, "Three Internet security experts have accused state-owned telecom giant China Telecom of diverting internal U.S. Internet traffic through China. The purpose, apparently, was corporate espionage."
 
According to Doug Madory, an expert on Internet traffic at Silicon Valley software maker Oracle, China Telecom’s network sent out false signals that diverted Internet traffic supposedly bound for the Verizon network onto the China Telecom network. The traffic passed through Hangzhou and other Chinese cities, and this went on undetected for an incredible 30 months, from late 2015 through 2017, according to Madory.
 

Since 1995, Mark Campbell has been trying to get Egypt to rationalize its mining royalty system. Now it looks like his efforts are about to pay off. Rather than the old 50-50 model, which couldn't work for miners, Egypt will be shifting to a much more advantageous tax system that should be a boon to gold miners like our sponsor Aton Resources. Things are about to get very interesting at the Company's Rodruin project. And Mark shared with us some highly positive drill results that were just released and could mean there's a mountain of gold just waiting to be tapped. Exciting times for Mark and Aton!

Our go to person for all things medical, Dr. Elaina George believes that Obamacare is now officially permanent, thanks to the democrat takeover of the House. They're looking for single payer panacea which clearly doesn't exist. It's now more important than ever for you to become an empowered patient and opt-out of the system. It's later than you think. And start leading a healthier lifestyle today!

There's wildfires in California, disputed elections all over the map, and panic all over the place; will it lead to a Wall Street Meltdown? It's often said that stocks climb on a wall of worry. If that's the case then the market should be booming now. There's enough worries to go around all over. More and more people keep moving to geographically and financially dangerous areas, knowing that the government will be there to bail them out. Our ability to properly govern ourselves is diminishing daily and there's few bright spots on the horizon. How much longer can the economic system hold out for? 

Kyle Olson has just directed a funny but tragic movie, Dummycrats. In it, Diamond and Silk travel to Maxine Water's poverty stricken district and to her out of district mansion. She's always voted one of the top corrupt members of congress, but the system keeps her in place. Then they travel up to San Francisco to check out the state of upcoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's district. The view from the street is appalling, with rampant homelessness, out of control addiction and the much vaunted poop patrol. You can't make this stuff up. 

According to the good rabbi, the solution to so much of what ails us can be found in the Jewish Book of Wisdom, The Talmud. From Cannabis legalization to the welfare state to protecting personal rights, it's all there. Rabbi Ganz believes that the Talmud encourages government to get involved in civil issues and stay away from persona matters. The government is responsible for protecting us against external enemies and should not get involved in our eating or drug issues. Sounds almost Libertarian.
