Tucker: Chaos is dangerous/deadly.

Fitts on Trump. Don't believe necessarily bad, but more DS controls?

Catherine Austin Fitts: "Trump was put into the White House to persuade conservatives to go along with a control grid... there is nobody on our side. They are all trying to implement the control grid...

GOP Senators Consider Breaking Off DHS Funding as Shutdown Clock Ticks — Risking Chaos at the Border and Weakening National Security

With the clock ticking down to a potential government shutdown this Friday, Senate Republicans are reportedly considering a move that could leave the southern border wide open to invasion.

A group of Republican senators is now openly discussing whether to split the Homeland Security appropriations bill away from a six-bill funding package in order to avert a partial government shutdown that would impact the Pentagon and several other major federal departments, according to The Hill.

The six-bill package includes funding for the Departments of Defense, Health and Human Services, Labor, Education, Transportation, State, and financial services-related agencies.

DHS, the very agency responsible for border security, immigration enforcement, and counterterrorism, is at risk of being left behind.

Rep. Andy Ogles wrote on X:

Democrats are trying to defund ICE, Border Patrol, FEMA, TSA, the Coast Guard, and the Secret Service because Donald Trump is president. America voted for mass deportations, and DHS is delivering.

I stand with [Freedom Caucus] and will not bend when it comes to fully funding DHS, defunding sanctuary cities, and crushing the coordinated attacks on our federal agents by Soros-backed insurrectionists. Democrats have called for total war against the law of the United States. We must fight it in Congress.

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA), a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, bluntly admitted that many Republicans see the writing on the wall.

“A bunch” of GOP senators, Kennedy said, would be willing to set aside DHS funding if that’s the only way to move the other bills forward.

“Sen. Thune can’t admit it because he’s got to act like a tough guy and the White House is negotiating and all of that, but most of you have been around here for a while and most of us have seen this vampire movie before,” Kennedy said on Wednesday.

Kennedy hit the nail on the head regarding the Democrat obstructionism that has brought the Senate to this brink.

“I think the Democrats don’t want to vote for a Homeland Security bill,” he said. “If that’s the case, then what are our choices? To throw out all the bills? Or one?”

While Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) claims his preference is to move all six bills together, especially since the House is currently on recess and cannot ratify changes, he is already signaling that he might cave.

Thune has not ruled out stripping the DHS funding and replacing it with a weak “Continuing Resolution” (CR) if Democrats continue to block the package.

“Government shutdowns don’t benefit anyone. We ought to pass the bill on the floor, FULLY FUND the government, and move on to other things the American people expect us to work on!” Thune told reporters.

One senior Republican senator, speaking anonymously to The Hill, admitted the GOP conference would likely capitulate if Democrats dig in their heels. “If that was all that was left, we’d probably do it,” the lawmaker said.

If the DHS funding is severed from the main package, it risks leaving border enforcement in limbo while the rest of the government gets funded.>

Gold & Silver Bear Raid Whiplash: Everyone's necks okay?

Nice little window of opportunity opened up right after the market open...

Whodathunkit?!?!?

(Straight out of the Bobby Axelrod playbook from the Showtime series Billions; This move
was highly telegraphed, as traders in numerous private/paywall trading rooms were waiting
for it to unfold, as HF traders leaked the play to increase the shakeout prior to the "record
earnings" reports from the miners that will soon follow. From the look of the charts below,
I'd say they were successful. )

"Gold and silver wiped out $5.9 TRILLION worth of market cap within 30 MINUTES"



Before and after...



Now, recovered and back to normal:



That said, the "easy money" in this cycle has been made, but the "big money" still awaits,
as 80% of the move in price will take place in the final 20% of the time-frame.

At this point, it is becoming nearly impossible for newcomers to trade this phase of the cycle,
if they weren't already in, early on, and aren't presently trading ahead of the move...
ie: anticipating vs. reacting to it.

Shifting gears....

Here's a "profiler" level look inside Trump's head that should explain his recent TACO surrender
to the Marxist-Communists in Minneapolis.

re: Pressure from within the Trump family for him to make peace, and lower the heat from the left:

Trump's kids (Jr, Eric, and Ivanka through Jared), along with the Witkoff and Lutnick kids, are raking
in tens of billions (not millions) in heretofore, historically unseen "pay for access, pay for play, and
outright insider grifting."

And Melania, who with their 24 year age gap, is young enough to be Trump's daughter; does not
want to end up living the life of Jackie Kennedy Onassis - having to flee to the arms and protection
of a foreign billionaire oligarch, and live in exile, in fear of her life from her husband's political enemies.

This tweet was the tell on Trump's "TACO" surrender in Minneapolis:

*Please ignore the fact she did this interview with the promo for her new "documentary film, Melania"
in the background, as she calls for "unity" citing the President's "great call" with Walz and Frey
(of which both of them have already shit all over).



Put simply, Susie Wiles pressure for Trump to maintain the UniParty RINO Republican line,
and back off on his campaign promise to deport all illegals in fear of the political backlash from

THE LEFT, to now agreeing to only deport the criminals who've committed serious crimes after
their arrival in the US... with all of this ultimately leading to Wiles and the Establishment RINOs
to ultimately introduce amnesty (just watch, Newt Gingrich, and sadly, Rand Paul are already
moving there.).

All that said, here's the ONE THING to remember:

The reason "Pax Judaica" intends to destroy Trump from within, by creating a civil war between
Trump's Establishment advisors and his hard-core "America First" political base, is because
Pax Judaica's #1 enemy is white, Christian, conservative, America First males.

If you don't understand this by now, you're already a dead (and broke) man walking.

Tick, tock...and may your chains rest lightly if that describes you.

SOTB

PS: Pay attention to the shift here with Bannon, Posobiec, Gen. Flynn...
and the emergence of Erik Prince front and center (especially as 2028 nears).

PPS: Trump knows this TACO "surrender" on his campaign promise of "total deportation,"
is going to crush him in the polls, and likely lead to a bloodbath in the midterms.

That said, what he will now do is try to walk on a knife's edge of launching investigations,
and announcing indictments that are "red meat issues" for the MAGA faithful, while
simultaneously being dog walked by Susie Wiles down the path of her Establishment-RINO
paythway to losing in 2028....

One such move is unfolding now in Georgia, with the raids to uncover the fake ballots.

I would expect lots of slow walking, hesitation, and constipation within the bowels
of his legal team in trying to push this case forward.

While I believe Tulsi and the newly appointed Andrew Bailey are real MAGA, expect them
to be slow walked, blocked, and hindered every step of the way, pushing any serious resolution,
as in indictments and convictions, until AFTER the midterms - when it will be too late, and Pax
Judaica will achieve their goal of destroying MAGA from within, and handing 2028 back to
the radical left - as Mission #1 is the negate and destroy the "America First" MAGA movement,
and its followers.
