2025 - Truck escape ramp ghost remnants on northbound I-5 on the infamous "five-mile grade" near Castaic Lake. Now a steep upgrade for NB traffic. A less steep separate roadway now carries SB I-5 traffic (Google Street View photo).

1959 - Ghost truck escape ramp on old two-way US-99 on the infamous "five-mile grade" near Castaic Lake. The five-mile grade had an accident-prone steep downgrade, necessitating the need for this escape ramp (DOH D7 Archives photo). Roadway now used gor northbound I-5.

We have a huge police training and police boundary problem in America.
They need to stay in their lanes, go after criminals, get warrants, and leave people alone. They need to be polite, professional, and protect and secure rights above all else, not try to trick people into giving up rights or violate rights in other ways.
Officer walks onto private property to check out a burn pile and ends up shooting the family dog, Woodrow.
Family: "Why did he shoot Woodrow?" "It's private property."
Officer: "He was coming after me, ma'am."
Then a second dog charges at him on camera.
Justified self-defense, or should he never have been in that yard?

We've defaulted on American.
Say that to an elite and watch the reaction. Nobody argues with it. They reach for "you can't default when you print the reserve currency," as if the only creditor that counts is a bondholder in Zurich. The Treasury will always pay its coupons. That's the trick. The default happened somewhere else: the pension a machinist was promised, the house a 28-year-old was told he'd afford, the degree sold as a ticket to the middle class, the dollar a grandmother saved that buys half of what it did. Every generation after the boomers got handed the bill and a smaller slice of the country. A government that keeps its promises to creditors and breaks them to its citizens hasn't avoided default. It picked who gets paid.

we stopped someone who had a pistol and some cash. So obviously we arrested them and took their shit.

A President accustomed to moving unilaterally through executive orders and tariff declarations would find the administrative gears jammed in a split congress.
Trump would still retain the unilateral trigger on foreign kinetic actions and emergency security claims, but he would lose the domestic narrative. Deprived of the ability to pass new fiscal cushions, and with Congress actively subpoenaing the bureaucratic paper trail behind both tariff decisions and Gulf deployments, the administration would find itself fighting a bitter two-front war: one overseas against Tehran, and an intractable constitutional siege at home.
In Washington, people constantly confuse kinetic fireworks with strategic achievement. It is #thewayitworks.
Having watched four Presidencies navigate Middle Eastern quagmires and confrontation, the current military escalations with Tehran reflect classic executive overreach colliding head-on with brutal domestic political arithmetic.
Presidents often imagine a foreign crisis rallies the flag, but unless an operation is short, decisive, and economically benign, which a conflict with Iran never is, it invariably devours the President’s own majority at home.

The Bom Jesus was a Portuguese merchant carrack (nau) that vanished in 1533 on its way to India and remained lost for 475 years until it was uncovered in the diamond-rich desert sands of Namibia...
In April 2008, workers operating heavy machinery for a diamond-mining company in the Sperrgebiet (forbidden zone) near Oranjemund, Namibia, stumbled upon ancient timbers and metal pieces buried in the sand.
. . .
In April 1533, a Portuguese ship called the Bom Jesus sailed out of Lisbon bound for India. It never arrived.
She was part of the Carreira da India, the long sea route that carried silver, copper and ambition around the southern tip of Africa. Ships on that run were loaded to the rails. This one was carrying a fortune in coin and metal.
Somewhere along the coast of what is now Namibia, the Bom Jesus vanished. No wreck washed ashore. No survivors' account made it home in any form that settled the question. For nearly five centuries, she was simply a name in a ledger of lost ships.
Then, in 2008, workers at a diamond mine in the coastal desert of Namibia were clearing sand and bedrock near the shoreline. They found a scatter of metal that did not belong to the desert.
Copper ingots. Hundreds of them. Then gold coins, more than 2,000, many of them Spanish and Portuguese issues. Elephant tusks. Pieces of the ship's timber and her cargo of trade goods.
The ship had been sitting under the sand, a short distance from the water, for roughly 475 years. The desert and the shifting coastline had buried her in place and kept her.
Archaeologists worked the site carefully. The inventory ran long: coins, ingots, tin, lead, navigation tools, weapons, and the ordinary fittings of a working ship. By most accounts, the copper alone came to around 22 tons.
The coins mattered most to historians. They gave a firm date range for when the ship went down, and they helped confirm which vessel it was. The identification pointed to the Bom Jesus.
It is one of the oldest shipwrecks ever found in sub-Saharan Africa, and one of the richest cargoes ever recovered from the early Age of Exploration.
The Atlantic took the ship. The desert kept the evidence.
A lost voyage to India. A ledger line that stayed blank for 475 years. A fortune found by people who were only moving sand.
The wreck was found on dry land. The sea had retreated and the desert had grown over the hull, so she was dug up rather than dived.

SILVER
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
With all the hoopla in Silver, let me suggest something you might not be thinking about. We always need to think "below the surface," down as many layers as possible.
So far this week Comex has traded 4.3 BILLION ounces of Silver -- NOT PAPER SILVER YOU CONSPIRACY THEORISTS
That is 5.2 years of production.
Now, you can think of it as DEMAND
But you can also think of it as SUPPLY
If I am the CEO of a low cost-of-production mining operation, I would be INSANE for not hedging at least three years of production at $110/oz, which could be 3 to 4X my AISC production cost.
Speculators speculate -- it is what they do
Miners mine -- it is what they do
Mining is a business -- business is what they do
Business want to make profits -- it is what they do
CEO manage risk and profits -- it is what they do
If you think that the Silver market is just all about supply restrictions, then you know nothing about commodity markets
Take the Silver Institute's S&D table. Now, double or even triple the Recycling supply (which will happen) and reduce demand by 10% as the cost of Silver drives industry to alternative uses because of price, and you then begin to create a pipeline glut.
So, then what does that do your your "supply shortage" narrative?
Just saying. Don't shoot the messenger
I am only letting verified X accounts reply because I have no interest in what the trolls have to say about this
