Aloha! KAIMU NEVER TRUSTED DELIVERY BECAUSE THERE WAS NO BLOCKCHAIN
I stayed at the Perth Mint and Vaultchain Gold and Silver. Audited at will and all the time.
Meanwhile those trading futures who want delivery of good bars … GOOD LUCK! The bullion banks hate DELIVERY! I just wonder which sovereign wealth fund will visit force majeure on delivery?
No doubt, the other side of the squeeze is the mounting problem of stand-for-deliveries. All the evidence is that the shorts are extremely reluctant to deliver bullion using delaying tactics. It leads to an accumulation of unsatisfied demands. The rate of increase of these demands has accelerated fourfold since last year’s total of 491.2 tonnes. So far this year, from 1 January the total to yesterday was 291.4 tonnes, an annualised rate of over 2,000 tonnes.
With gold in the headlines President Trump has announced that he will “count the bullion in Fort Knox to see if it is there”. Scott Bessent has said he wants to set up a new sovereign wealth fund, putting all the Treasury’s gold into it. But everyone knows or think they know that much of it is missing. And Fort Knox has only half the Treasury’s holdings, the rest split between West Point and Denver.
It is a reasonable assumption that the Treasury has something to hide, otherwise it should have been prepared to conduct credible audits. Normally, it manages to deflect this issue. But Trump’s involvement, and particularly that of Musk and Ron Paul will make it extremely difficult for them to do so.
If Musk and Paul manage to expose the true position and that there is missing bullion, it is likely to be the thin edge of a wedge exposing shortfalls in other central bank holdings arising from non-return of leased gold going back decades. Have no doubt that the Treasury will take the view that this must be stopped in the interests of global monetary stability.
If this story gets legs, it could drive gold significantly higher. @ Goldmoney
I pray this is the long awaited HB&B comeuppance!

Aloha! WHAT WILL BE THERE? IOUS? PROMISSORY NOTES? MISSING BARS? GLD?
Why didn’t Biden do this? Because Biden was never in charge of the Office of the Presidency under the America Last DNC political party!.
President Donald Trump on Feb. 19 backed Elon Musk’s plan to audit the gold reserves at Fort Knox.
“We’re going to go into Fort Knox to make sure the gold is there,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One. “You know that we’re going to go into Fort Knox? Did you know about that?”
Billionaire Elon Musk, one of Trump’s advisers, recently suggested verifying that Fort Knox still holds the gold that officials say it does.
Hey Elon don’t stop at just Ft Knox! There’s 13mil troy ounces at the US Fed in NYC.
What if the US Treasury under Biden sold gold or swapped gold for BTC or Tether?
FTX fraud reminds us how corrupt crypto can be. Look at the WEF and Clinton Blair photo below. Don’t forget the brilliant Shark Tankers who were fooled by FTX.

Aloha! US GOLD RESERVES MARK TO MARKET AT $141,497.98USD PER TROY OUNCE COVERS $37TRIL IN US DEBT
Total US gold reserves in troy ounces is 261,498,926.241.
The statutory rate for gold is $42.2222 USD per ounce as was dictated by US Treasury in 1971. That was the year Pres Nixon took the world off the Gold Standard and put us onto the Debt Standard. Every since prices for all consumer goods has risen dramatically. That’s called US dollar devaluation. Every year a USD buys less. That in itself is a fraudulent tax on US citizens and consumers as well as all those foreigners who hold US bonds and assets.
This is why Social Security and Medicare is such a major fraud. Some of us paid into Social Security when $1 would buy a Big Mac and a vanilla shake and fries at McDonalds and still have change left over. Now that same $1 won’t even buy half of a Double Cheese Burger at McDonalds.
SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE IS FRAUD AGAINST EVERY GENERATION
This is why I say you must include dividend paying stocks like CVX and XOM to supplement your retirement. Depending on Social Security alone is a very bad plan.
I wrote to George Bush in 2007 and told him I would pay my per capita of the US Debt at $300,000USD if in exchange I would never have to pay taxes again. I never heard back from him.
TOTAL US GOLD RESERVES
What does “total reserves” cover? DEEP STORAGE which is all gold in Ft Knox, Denver and West Point. MINT HOLDINGS is coins and blanks and working stock FEDERAL RESERVE STORAGE all gold at US Fed in NYC vault
How much of those troy ounces are encumbered either as collateral or as a swap or a loan?
The reserves were “audited” last in Feb 2019 when Trump was in office. Did the DNC Biden Harris sell any? Loan any? Swap any? Steal any? Who knows? The way the DNC operates US citizens are always the last to know anything.
Florida and its past time. I would love to see this include BlackRock and the WEF in a global class action.
The DNC and the NY and DC courts set the precedent in lawfare. The difference is this legal action has merits. Its not some DNC 1912 or 1849 revamped law. If we go by DNC NY kangaroo courts then every time a LGBTQ paycheck was signed is a full felony count. What’s that 80,000 felony counts for Target CEO and CFO? How many years in jail 8,000 years?
The last four years has been a complete repulsive inhumane political attack against every US citizen and every US company. Add in the Ukraine War and we have millions of dead and “dehoused” refugees thanks to DNC policies.
Can any trader here possibly wrap their head around the DNC proposals to tax unrealized gains? Recall that was on the DNC table to suck more taxes out of law abiding US taxpayers. With that logic the DNC would make employees pay all their payroll taxes first before they’re paid their first pay check.
Remember the DNC Biden campaigned on a “return to normal” in 2020. How’d that work? If “normal” is Stalin and Pravda and the KGB then the DNC kept their promise for four years.
Yes, by all means DOGE the SEC!
America First Legal and Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier File Class Action Lawsuit Against Target for Misleading and Defrauding Investors Over Market Risks of LGBTQ Activism
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, America First Legal (AFL) and Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, in partnership with Boyden Gray PLLC and Lawson Huck Gonzalez PLLC, filed a major class-action lawsuit against Target Corporation on behalf of the State Board of Administration of Florida. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, alleges Target knowingly misled and defrauded investors by concealing the financial risks of its radical LGBTQ activism, costing shareholders tens of billions of dollars.
The lawsuit alleges that Target violated Sections 10(b) and 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by failing to disclose known risks of customer backlash to its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) mandates, which culminated in its radical and extreme 2023 Pride Campaign. It further alleges that Target actively misled investors by claiming to monitor the social and political risks posed by its DEI and ESG initiatives. In reality, Target was only monitoring its alignment with left-wing activist groups.
The fallout from Target’s unlawful conduct was swift and catastrophic. Following the launch of Target’s 2023 Pride Campaign, Target’s stock price plummeted — wiping out $10 billion in market value in just ten days and erasing $25 billion in shareholder value over the course of six months, its worst performance and longest losing streak in 23 years.
This is the second lawsuit brought by AFL, Boyden Gray PLLC, and Lawson Huck Gonzalez PLLC against Target for securities fraud. The first case, filed in August 2023, remains ongoing after a federal judge denied Target’s motion to dismiss the case in December 2024, ruling that the company may have violated federal securities laws.
With this new lawsuit, AFL, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, and the State Board of Administration of Florida are taking decisive action to hold Target accountable for violating federal law, defrauding its investors, and prioritizing radical activism over financial responsibility to shareholders.

Aloha! MUSK PICKS UP WHERE THE WEF REFUSES TO GO BILLIONAIRES ALL
All billionaires hate the concept of “one person-one vote”.
Elon has decided like the WEF it is easier to work inside government halls than be outside looking in. The WEF has known that since Club of Rome and the 1884 Fabian Society.
The WEF pretty much placed their bet that the West would fail back in Obama days. The WEF neither had the will power or the skillset to do what is now being done by Musk and Trump. It is so much easier to tell the world that there is a huge climate threat to the world that is coming in 2040 than it is to try to save capitalism and the West right now, today. What Musk is doing today is what the RINOs have been talking about since the 1950s. Its easy to say the WEF will save humanity in 2040 with solar panels and wind turbines and stakeholder marxism than it is to cut spending and have balanced budgets now. The WEF fears offending the masses, but the WEF fears more offending the loud and angry minorities. That’s why in 2010 the WEF leaders met with the Anarchist demonstrators who used to have protest riots in major EU cities and Davos. Davos is on Antifa’s side now. Its why the WEF had their “build back better” slogan in 2020.
THE LAST THING THE COWARDS AT THE WEF WANT IS “OCCUPY DAVOS”
Reimagine if Musk were allowed to audit the WEF. The graft and the grift would be other worldly. The WEF did chose the DNC to be their empty vessel to skirt “one person-one vote”.
As I have posted here before the biggest corporations in the US and the EU embrace the legal slavery and unlimited pollution the CCP and India offers. They love oppressing billions of people for profit. Ask Apple and Nike about that. This is why ESG and DEI is a joke. The WEF knows its a joke, but for them its a footnote on their balance sheet. Not much DEI or ESG in Davos.
Below is proof(see graphic) of DNC apartheid in the USA. Over 60 years worth of black oppression. Herding black into those DNC sanctuary (D)eath traps is inhumane. That is why the WEF loves the DNC. That’s why Soros loves the DNC. Inhumanity is their policy. That was proven during covid19 mandates. The DNC mandates were proof the WEF prefers the DNC. Like FDR did in the 1940s with Japanese US citizens locking up US citizens is always a viable solution for the DNC. Censorship is always a DNC principle. Slavery, racism, censorship, mandates and inhumanity work for the WEF. Its all on display now in the UK and the EU. Who fought for slavery in the 1860s and who signed the CIVIL RIGHTS ACT in 1875? It was never the Democrat Party. These WEF DNC hypocrite people have ZERO desire to end modern slavery. If they did want to end slavery then they’d have to kick China and India out of the WTO. What would their profit margins look like then? Meanwhile those with eyes wide open are onto the WEF/DNC con job.
Today, virtually all the giant corporations that dominate these industries owe their positions to government policies set up in their favor to the detriment of the American public.
The modern political establishment is defined by their willingness and ability to protect and expand this dynamic. It is laughable to hear them falsely criticize Musk for doing the same thing.
The same goes for his supposed violation of constitutional rules and norms. Many of the loudest establishment voices condemning this behavior were cheering just as loudly as the George Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama administrations launched dozens of undeclared wars, conducted warrantless surveillance, used torture, carried out extrajudicial assassinations on American citizens, and provided aid and comfort to Al Qaeda.
At the very least, these are explicit violations of Article 1, Section 8; Article 3, Section 3; and the Sixth Amendment of the Constitution, as well as Section 2340A of Title 18 of the United States Code.
And during the covid pandemic, the political establishment took the exact same kind of approach they’re now criticizing Musk for conducting. Federal and state governments rushed to close businesses, schools, and churches and prohibit people from attending public gatherings—all without even pretending to care about the constitutional rules and norms they’re now feigning concern about.
Next, the implication that what Musk is doing is illegitimate because he’s unelected is ridiculous. Not only was it made very clear to voters before the election that Musk would do this if Trump won, virtually the entire federal workforce that the establishment is trying to protect from Musk is unelected too. The millions of unelected officials who conduct the bulk of federal government operations were brought on and set to work without even a fraction of the transparency and publicity involved in Trump’s appointment of Elon Musk.
Speaking of transparency, it’s comical that a political class that classifies an estimated fifty million documents a year—ninety percent of which are “probably unnecessary” according to some establishment legal experts—is voicing disgust over Musk’s team’s occasional use of discretion.
Finally, it is appalling to hear the American political establishment criticize Elon Musk for his supposed willingness to hurt the poor and vulnerable to make himself better off. That is essentially all these people have done the entire time they’ve been in power. Over a century of government meddling in crucially important industries has made it harder for the poorest Americans to afford food, education, housing, healthcare services, and medications. -mises.org
Audit the US Fed and audit the US gold reserves and then audit the DNC and the WEF. The world needs solutions and transparency not inhumanity and never ending wars and DEEPAY!
Aloha! WHERE ARE MOODYS, S&P AND FITCH US CREDIT RATING DOWNGRADES? TAXATION WITH ZERO REPRESENTATION
If this were Exxon or Texas the ratings would have already been booked!
How can such a major criminal enterprise dwelling deep inside the US government under DNC protection be concealed for so long? Four years of grift under puppet Biden was what 80mil voted for as a “return to normal” in 2020! It shows those voters have no business being registered. Or were they?
Now reimagine what California books must look like. Or LA and San Fran? NYC? Where are these MUNI ratings downgrades?
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) said on Feb. 17 that a total of $4.7 trillion worth of payments from the Treasury Department are almost impossible to trace because of missing account identification codes.
DOGE said the Treasury Department has assigned identification codes called Treasury Access Symbols (TAS), designed to note which account a Treasury payment is linked to, which DOGE said was a “standard financial process” for bookkeeping. However, the codes were not assigned for trillions of dollars worth of payments as the field was considered optional, according to the agency.
“In the Federal Government, the TAS field was optional for ~$4.7 trillion in payments and was often left blank, making traceability almost impossible,” DOGE stated on the social media platform X.
Okay credit rating agencies where are you? Where were you the past 40 years?
When I go through an IRS audit, which I have done, I have to show bank statements and then if there is a deposit or check in question I have to show proof. Why does the US government get a pass? Why isn’t every auditor or officer or staffer involved in these fraudulent actions either in civil or criminal court? Can we do RICO on the DNC and RINO?
I got this from one of the IPX execs. The strategic DoD partnership actually is a combined investment of $70.7mil to fund a two phase development program over a two year period. This is all about bringing US titanium production back to the US to support national security and economic priorities.
The first phase funding will expedite the Titan project to be shovel ready by the end of 2025. Titan is a titanium, rare earth and zircon critical mineral project.
What is the Titan project in Tennessee you ask?
RE-SHORING U.S. TITANIUM & RARE EARTHS PRODUCTION TO TENNESSEE

Aloha! IPERIONX(IPX:ASX) AWARDED $47.1MIL CONTRACT BY US DOD +8%
As posted prior KAIMU waiting for the DoD to keep titanium onshore USA and cut off the CCP. Complete total titanium vertical from mine to parts! Not just titanium also rare earths. The US DoD sees the value of cutting the CCP and Russia out of the US defense supply chain.
Finally we get rid of the slow roll incompetent DNC Biden and get this US mining show on the road! Trump DoD took a month while the DNC Biden DoDuD didn’t even make anything happen in four years.
IPERIONX AWARDED $47.1M BY THE U.S. DOD TO SECURE U.S. TITANIUM SUPPLY CHAINS IperionX Limited (NASDAQ: IPX, ASX: IPX) (IperionX) is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a contract for up to US$47.1 million in funding by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to strengthen the U.S. Defense Industrial Base by accelerating development of a resilient, low-cost, and fully-integrated U.S. mineral-to-metal titanium supply chain.
This strategic partnership represents a combined investment of US$70.7 million between IperionX and the DoD to fund a two-phase development program over a two-year period. The agreement aims to strengthen U.S. titanium production capabilities, supporting national security and economic resilience.
As part of the initial phase, the DoD has obligated US$5 million through the Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment (IBAS) program and IperionX will contribute US$1 million, to expedite the Titan Critical Minerals Project in Tennessee to ‘shovel-ready’ status, an important milestone in securing a new domestic source of titanium, rare earths and zircon critical minerals.
The remaining US$42.1 million awarded under the contract is expected to be obligated by the DoD over the duration of the agreement, with the funds to be applied to facilitating vertical integration and increased titanium production capacity at IperionX’s Titanium Manufacturing Campus in Virginia.
Anastasios (Taso) Arima, IperionX CEO said: “This award is a pivotal moment in IperionX’s mission to re-shore the U.S. titanium industry. For too long, American industry has been reliant on foreign-controlled supply chains for this critical high-strength metal. IperionX’s proprietary technologies, combined with the Titan Project, offer a pathway for a resilient end-to-end U.S. titanium supply chain. We are proud to be selected by the DoD as a key partner in strengthening U.S. industrial and defense capabilities.”
Just a reminder other Japanese companies are onboard also for future off takes.
IperionX Titan Critical Minerals Project Strategic & offtake partners – Multiple companies in advanced due diligence -Significant commercial interest in Titan’s titanium, rare earth and zircon critical minerals
-A major Japanese conglomerate completed bulk sample test work to advance potential sales offtake and development financing, with subsequent metallurgical test work continuing at an independent laboratory in Australia

Aloha! WHAT IF POLICE AND BORDER PATROL ARE OWNED BY THE CARTELS AND CCP? LIKE THEY ARE IN MEXICO
REAL SCALABLE ECONOMIC COSTS CAME WITH A WEF OPEN BORDER POLICY!
More Biden DNC fallout from a wide open border. An open border that both AMLO and the new Mexico Presidente Claudia supported. Ass in Trudeau was all in on never stopping criminals and illegals coming into the USA from the north.
Its a human nature thing. Repeated a ton of times on tv shows like Miami Vice and CSI.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer allegedly involved in migrant smuggling on the El Paso border was allegedly a member of a Mexican drug cartel, a federal agent testified.
A federal magistrate judge ordered CBP Officer Manuel Perez Jr., 32, of El Paso, to remain jailed without bond at a detention hearing Thursday, Feb. 13, in federal court in Downtown El Paso. Perez is allegedly a member of the La Linea drug cartel.
Perez was fired from CBP after his arrest on federal human and drug smuggling charges on Feb. 8 by the FBI El Paso West Texas Border Corruption Task Force following a multi-agency investigation, court officials said. If convicted, he could face 10 years up to life in prison.
“Multiple witnesses said he belonged to La Linea cartel in Mexico,” a special agent with the CBP Office of Professional Responsibility testified at the hearing.
Perez allegedly told investigators that he was being paid $2,500 for each undocumented person he allowed to pass at his inspection lane at the Paso Del Norte international bridge in Downtown El Paso, the special agent testified.
The exact number of smuggled persons Perez waved through his border inspection point was unclear.
The prosecution said that Perez may have been paid as much as $400,000 in a border migrant smuggling scheme dating to December 2023. A cocaine distribution conspiracy case dates from Feb. 5 going back to November 2019, according to the indictment.
Smugglers in intercepted phone calls spoke of “100% guaranteed” crossings because they had “the officer in their pocket,” the agent testified. The names of others involved in smuggling have not been disclosed.
I am willing to bet there was cartel DNC NGO money laundering ops once all the investigations are said and done. The cartel laundering funds into shell DNC NGOs and then the NGO passing it along to DNC political funding. Using the name DEEKSEEK I would call it DEEPAY!

AGENTIC AI AT PREFLECT ALWAYS INNOVATING
AI enhances human workforce performance. Then there is “Agentic” AI. In a world where cutting costs becomes highly desirable due to inflationary and regulatory labor and material costs the small business e-commerce companies need to level the field with the Amazons of the world.
For AI marketing it comes down to managed service offerings where you can automate fulfillment in the near term future using a combo SaaS and Agentic AI. The basic six stages of e-commerce fulfillment can be enhanced at every stage. Like “reorg” without the Chapter 11 part!
Unlike the DNC spending effects budgets and that matters a lot to small businesses. The other key factor is the mixology with platforms like META. How do you interface with META ads when you don’t know META structure and algos? Another AI app PREFLECT does where small business cannot afford their own AI R&D like META and Amazon. Kind of like why KAIMU is a member of NFIB. I cannot afford to lobby Washington DC on my own. I am not Jeff Bezos or Mark or Elon. PREFLECT services are an “AI lobby” in the tech cyber e-commerce world that is rapidly evolving every day.
AI has no use for DEI or ESG in terms of efficient and actionable business enhancement. DEI and ESG does not enhance productivity. Its the opposite. You have to wonder where the DEI is at the WEF which is mostly anglo european billionaires? Why would the WEF want DEI or ESG? The WEF like being on top and slavery and pollution is just their byproduct for wealth accumulation. Why else would China and India be key manufacturing zones for globalist elites at the WEF? The CCP gives the WEF cheap labor with no unions and no EPA! That’s why Apple’s Tim Cook loves the CCP. Those iPhones are full of maximum profit on the backs of poor oppressed and polluted Chinese labor. Now the question is: Why is the CCP in the WTO?

Aloha! CVX Q4 2024 FINANCIALS BREAK A FEW RECORDS
One of the goals is to increased company’s exploration exposure in Gulf of America.
Unlike BTC oil & gas companies and gold mining companies have assets in the ground called reserves. Unlike BTC these resource companies operate in a global market based on real world supply and demand not fake world hype and celeb promos. Unlike BTC Chevron has been around for two world wars and pays dividends.
If dividends are not part of your future retirement plans then plan on not retiring. Dividends and royalties are how the rich stay rich.
As a dividend holder CVX has upped the dividend by 5%. That does not keep up with inflation by itself but it makes a dent. Stock price increase the past 1Y was 3.3%.
2024 Financial Highlights
• Reported earnings decreased compared to last year primarily due to lower margins on refined product sales, lower realizations, and severance charges, partially offset by the absence of charges for decommissioning obligations for previously sold assets, higher sales volumes and lower impairment charges.
• Worldwide and U.S. net oil-equivalent production set annual records. Worldwide production increased 7 percent from a year ago primarily due to nearly 18 percent growth in the Permian Basin and a full year of legacy PDC Energy, Inc. (PDC) production.
• Year-end 2024 proved reserves were approximately 9.8 billion barrels of net oil-equivalent, subject to final reviews. The largest reductions were from production and the sale of oil sands and shale and tight assets in Canada, and the largest additions were from extensions and discoveries in the Permian and Denver-Julesburg (DJ) Basins.
• Capex was slightly higher than 2023, primarily due to higher upstream investments. Affiliate capex was down $1.1 billion, primarily due to lower spend at the company’s Tengizchevroil (TCO) affiliate in Kazakhstan.
• Cash flow from operations was lower than a year ago mainly due to lower earnings and higher payments related to asset retirement obligations, partially offset by favorable working capital effects.
• Cash flow from investing improved from last year driven by $7.7 billion of proceeds from asset sales in Canada and the U.S.
• The company returned a record $27.0 billion of cash to shareholders during the year, including share repurchases of $15.2 billion and dividends of $11.8 billion. Over the past three years, the company has returned over $75 billion to shareholders.
• The company’s Board of Directors declared a 5 percent increase in the quarterly dividend to one dollar and seventy-one cents ($1.71) per share, payable March 10, 2025.
CVX sold assets in Canada, Alaska and Rep of Congo to buy HESS.
“We strengthened our portfolio and committed to reduce costs and maintain capital discipline, positioning us for significant free cash flow growth,” Wirth concluded.
CVX plans to do a $2-$3bil structural cost cutting policy targeted by 2026. Getting out of California would help cut costs.
Both CVX and XOM HQs moving to The Woodlands Texas which is Kaimu’s backyard.
Free Cash Flow $5bil ROCE 10.1%
Business Highlights and Milestones
• Started production at the industry-first 20,000 psi deepwater Anchor project, began water injection to boost production from the Jack/St. Malo and Tahiti fields, and started production from the Whale semi-submersible platform in the Gulf of America.
• Started production at the Future Growth Project in January 2025, which is expected to ramp up total output to around one million barrels of oil-equivalent per day, and completed the Wellhead Pressure Management Project at TCO.
• Recently announced plans to jointly develop scalable power solutions using natural gas-fired turbines with flexibility to integrate carbon capture and storage to support growing energy demand from U.S. data centers.
• Achieved first gas on the Sanha Lean Gas Connection project, securing incremental natural gas supply to the Angola Liquefied Natural Gas facility.
• Extended the Meji field offshore Nigeria with a near-field discovery and added 20 years to the deepwater Agbami concession through 2044.
• Upgraded the Pasadena Refinery to increase product flexibility and expand the processing capacity of lighter crude oil by nearly 15 percent to 125,000 barrels per day.
• Increased the company’s exploration acreage position in the Gulf of America, Angola, Brazil, Equatorial Guinea, Uruguay and Namibia (subject to government approval).
• Completed the sale of the company’s interest in the Athabasca Oil Sands Project and Duvernay shale assets in Canada, certain assets in Alaska, and in 2025, the Republic of Congo.
• Progressed the company’s pending merger with Hess Corporation by securing Hess stockholder approval and clearing Federal Trade Commission antitrust review.
• Completed projects and operational changes designed to abate 700,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalent from the company’s operations.
• Drilled onshore and offshore stratigraphic wells to delineate carbon dioxide storage potential through the company’s joint venture, Bayou Bend CCS LLC.
• Launched a $500 million Future Energy Fund III focused on venture investments in technology-based solutions that have the potential to enable affordable, reliable and lower carbon energy.
I would like to see Chevron restart their mining ops for copper like they had in the 1960s and 1970s. If I recall they had a copper mine in Arizona.
DRILL BABY DRILL!
Of course more supply means lower prices and tighter margins as I expect demand won’t grow that fast until 2027. It takes time to decompress from the past four years of inflationary mayhem. Usually that leads to some sort of recessionary pressures. Lets face it the global trade will not be robust.

Aloha! MARK CUBAN WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT
I love it! That means its the end of the corrupt slimey “lawyer class” is now being replaced by the “business class”. Trump opened the way for more candidates with top CEO business experience and closed the door on the freeloading lawyers whose only purpose is to create more legal chaos. Lawyers never solve problems like trade or wars they make it worse. Lawyers got the CCP into the WTO. Lawyers got the horrible NAFTA. Lawyers got us ACA Obama Care.
I expect to see Mark Cuban making a DNC play in 2028. Why DNC? I am not sure because he was always more of libertarian type in his early days. Maybe he knows the WEF will back him. He needs to dump his DEI and ESG posturing though.
Would I vote for Mark? Maybe. It depends on his policies. I already voted with him using my own funds. We are partner investors inPREFLECT, an AI based e-commerce marketing company. He is #1 lead and I am the 2 lead investor in the PREFLECT startup..
The only AI marketing company I know paying dividends.
Mark has some great attributes and has proven business experience. He has flaws and I think some of those came into play with the MAVs. Not unlike every CEO I ever met he has “control issues”. Wow! Who da thunk it????
Just an FYI the two founders of PREFLECT were 20 when they started the company four years ago. Its not unheard of for younguns to be extremely talented, smart and trustworthy.
DOGE is okay by me!
BIG BALLS? I mean who cares what sort of moniker so long as the job gets done! Besides I have seen worse in Silicon Valley when I was working with the Cisco crew at Menlo College. Even my Morgan Stanley guy!
Getting rid of just DEI junk has saved over $1bil in spending. Saved another $748mil to build an embassy in South Sudan.
GOTTA START SOMEWHERE!

Aloha! SHE SIGNED HER DEATH WISH AND THE DNC APPROVES IF AN OPEN BORDER IS OKAY THEN SO IS MURDER
The DNC and the Mexican cartels have had a symbiotic relationship the past four years. The DNC opens the US southern border and the DNC NGOs and cartels make billions smuggling poison, drugs, children and women for sex and slavery. Its a great deal for all involved. A bad deal for law abiding US citizens who pay taxes.
Now Trump and Pam Bondi have signed their death wish. If they thought going after the DNC was a bullet fest in Butler then the cartels make the DNC look like ISIS K. I wrote that Trump would be ousted a month ago. I also wrote about how there would be an assassination attempt during the election. There was an election assassination attempt on Trump under the auspices of the US Secret Service. The cartels do not need the CIA or the FBI or the Secret Service.
The cartels and NGOs are unelected like Musk is. I prefer Musk!
Aloha! $7BIL CRITICAL MINERALS TAX INCENTIVES UP FOR GRABS ON THE ASX
WA1(ASX) is on the list. IPX(ASX) has too much assets in the USA to be on the list. Somewhere and some day it might be good for Trump to step on the gas! What’s he waiting for? Why isn’t critical minerals tax incentives and grants front page news on Yahoo Financial and CNBC?
The Australian Federal Government is close to securing approval in the Senate for a $7 billion tax incentive package aimed at bolstering Australia’s critical minerals and rare earths industry.
Federal Minister for Resources Madeleine King spoke to ABC’s 7:30, saying the incentive would create jobs, strengthen supply chains and position Australia as a global leader in mineral processing.
“The production tax credits for critical minerals and rare earths is a tax support and incentive to help companies process and refine critical minerals and rare earths here in Australia,” King said.
“That’s important because critical minerals and rare earths go into modern technologies that we use every day, like mobile phones, laptops, batteries, but also for green energy technology, like solar panels and wind turbines, (and) defense applications.”

Aloha! FOREIGN AID ALWAYS FAILS USAID IS A JOKE
This USAID scandal shows the DNC as corrupted beyond repair. The DNC is not angry at the waster tax dollars thrown away in foreign gay bars. The DNC is most angry at getting caught being corrupt. No wonder the WEF prefers the DNC to carry out their corrupt goals.
If you ever saw the movie BLACKHAWK DOWN you got to see a little econ primer of how USAID works. If you recall the War Lord got all the food and they even shot the people who tried to get a bag of rice. All while US Blackhawk helicopters circled the drop zone witnessing the atrocities created by bureaucrats in Washington DC. In fact most of Mogadishu was a DC bureaucrat failure.
Reimagine being a poor starving person in Afghanistan and you get LGBTQ aid from the USAID. Or you get USAID drag show and condoms?
Since foreign aid is administered by clueless marxist DNC government bureaucrats the aid never reaches the people who need it most. Meantime its the DNC politicians who get kick backs and campaign donations from the USAID recipients. A positively corrupt feedback loop.
BRIEF HISTORY AND ANALYSIS OF US FOREIGN AID
Since foreign aid goes to foreign governments the governments often pocket the money themselves or sell the in-kind aid on international markets and enrich themselves that way. During the 1970s famine in Ethiopia the government there sold the donated food while thousands starved, but spent $200 million to celebrate the nation’s Marxist revolution. They even charged cargo ships delivering “food aid” a $50/ton docking fee and turned back any ship that refused to pay it.
The type of “aid” is very often useless because it is government bureaucrats and not entrepreneurs who are making investment decisions. Foreign aid bureaucrats substitute their own random whims and hunches for the consumer-oriented decisions that entrepreneurs would make on the free market. Osterfeld cites giant oil refineries in countries with no oil and grain storage facilities that are not accessible by farmers as being typical.
When American manufacturers send tractors and other equipment to less developed countries, paid for by foreign aid funds, it is the corporations that are thereby enriched, not the aid recipients. Since all manufacturers have some percentage of their products are defective, these are the ones that are sent to foreign countries which then resent being dumped on in that way.
Since foreign aid is from government to government, the effect is to centralize governmental power in the recipient countries even more than it already is. Politics becomes more and more the way to make money as opposed to working, saving, investing, learning a marketable skill, and entrepreneurship. The domain of rent seeking and bribery is greatly expanded.
Massive shipments of grain through foreign aid programs pushes the price of grain to such a low level that scores of farmers are bankrupted and forced to move to the high-unemployment cities to seek employment and earn a living somehow. God only knows how many people in poor countries have starved to death because of such generosity. As in manufacturing, American corporate farmers are enriched by pawning off their excess grain (paid for by government) while people in poor countries suffer and die from it. -mises.org
Meantime we have less food for poor people in the USA and the EU. From whose food stock does this “free food” come from? Add in the circumvention of free markets when government pays more for AID than markets dictate. The entire idea of “fixing food scarcity and poverty” in foreign countries is a scam.
Who can forget Oprah and Bono guilting Western countries to forgive Africa Debt? That was typical Oprah celeb failure just like she failed in Maui and in the 2024 election. She got rich, but nobody else did. Hollywood is DOA!
DEFUND THE DNC!
“Foreign aid goes from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries.” -Rand Paul
We are in agreement that the DNC went way overboard with WEF. We argued against it for years. But I feel the GOP is now going overboard in the other direction. There is a mean-spiritedness from Trump not previously seen in American culture. The firing of the highest-ranked woman officer in the military because she is a woman, fired while she was in line at an Inauguration ball to have her photo taken with Trump was improper, and then to give her 3-hour notice to evacuate her home was deplorable. But later, overriding the 60-day evacuation notice from the Coast Guard to make the point that the original order was to be carried out precisely was reprehensible. Unlike anything in America, these are Putin’s tactics. And when the DNC regains the Presidency, we can expect the opposite treatment. Don’t Trump acolytes fear retribution, or do they believe he is now dictator?
It seems like Trump acolytes have been targeted for the past four years with ccp tactics. Everything from shutting down churches and businesses to debanking and censorship. All ccp policies.
If the Trump DOJ prosecutes DNC law breakers is that “retribution” or is that “accountability”?
In 2020, aparently from Trump 1.0, the US government bought $2.1 billion in food aid from American farmers. So, farmers are now defunded? Why don’t you ask the logical question to support your thesis? Why is the $2.1 billion in farm aid not going under Trump 2.0 to America’s poor to ‘fix food scarcity and poverty’ in America?
Bill, I hear you but 2020 was five years ago. You make my point. How do we know $2.1bil was spent on food aid? What agency bought the food aid? Where was it stored? Someone show us the receipts and the shipping bills. USAID is showing total fraud where funds even went to Wuhan for covid via NIH and Fauci’s cohorts not any sort of “AID”! Someone signed off on all this fraud. Funds that could have been spent on actual “food” or even medicine or other needed products. The CCP builds roads and the USAID send condoms and gay comic books. Its laughable!
After 60yrs of DNC crushing poverty and these sanctuary (d)eath camp ghettos minorities are forced into where do you think funds go? I would say Chicago and NYC are just two more Mogadishus, just the track record alone of poverty and violence recycled decade after decade. It does not matter what Trump does he has no power over US states and cities and their tactics and corruption. You address one end of the supply chain. After that transportation and distribution gauntlets are obstacles. NGOs and DNC politicians are the gatekeepers of (D)states and cities. In some cases like Chicago its been 70yrs of DNC rule. That’s a lot of embedded corruption in Chicago.
To make a huge difference in helping the poor end all carbon tax and tax on gasoline. That also benefits farmers and truckers moving food to market. It would be the one easiest action government could take to benefit their citizens, but none of the DNC want to give up a dime of their climate change fraud.
The system is embedded with crime and corruption. You know and I know if we ran our LLCs like USAID did we would have bene in jail years ago. Why should government get a pass? Where is the criminal investigation on the officers at USAID?
WA1 is in the institutional stage of the Lassonde Curve.
KAIMU owns WA1 and has held and traded for two years. Original buy-in $0.57A. That was in the exploration stage of WA1. That stage is the most risky and that is the stage that KAIMU RISK PORTFOLIO tends to focus on.

Aloha! WILL ALBERTA BE THE 51ST STATE OF THE USA?
Seems like Alberta has more in common with the USA pro-business and pro-fossil fuel policies than they do with Quebec. Certainly US anti-woke aligns more with Alberta’s workers than workers in Quebec..
I like how this guy finally mentions the US Navy. Does he read KAIMU BLOG?
Trudeau’s Dad was enamored with Mao and Fidel. Justin should move to China because he’s more CCP than Canadian.
Notice KAIMU does not invest in Canadian companies with assets in Canada and communist anti-mining Quebec is why.

Aloha! WA1(ASX) + 5.6% IPX(ASX) +3%
More de-risking for WA1 via metallurgy and assays.
IPX pressing titanium powder into parts for defense purposes. Patent HAMR and HSPT processing is key.
IperionX has reported advancements for the quarter ending 31 December 2024, highlighted by the completion of its inaugural “end-to-end” titanium metal powder production using the proprietary HAMR process. This advancement at its Titanium Manufacturing Campus in Virginia marks a crucial step in leveraging high-oxygen titanium scrap to produce low-oxygen, high-quality titanium metal powder.
The company also made strides in manufacturing, commissioning a new 100-ton uniaxial hydraulic powder metallurgy press to meet increasing customer demand for high-value, near-net-shape titanium products.
The adoption of its patented Hydrogen Sintering and Phase Transformation (HSPT) technology has enabled faster, cost-effective production of high-quality titanium products, circumventing traditional, resource-intensive methods. In research and development, IperionX reconfigured its Salt Lake City Industrial Pilot Facility to focus on producing new alloys, including zirconium and refractory metals such as niobium and tantalum.

Aloha! ALL YOUR BEST THINKING GOT YOU HERE VIN DIESEL AGREES WITH ME
I have mentioned this here before so its not new to Bill Cara readers.
In AA(Alcoholics Anonymous) there is a saying that every addict relates to greatly.
ALL YOUR BEST THINKING GOT YOU HERE!
It means all your plans and conjobs and scheming and lies and crimes got you to an AA meeting. It shows how powerless and useless all your thinking was.
Now let me add this part … THE DNC ELECTED DONALD TRUMP!
All the legal eagle experts I saw on this site and all over X and YouTube got Trump elected. It started 40 years ago with the Clintons. Then to the Bush and Obama and Biden. All the DNC DOJ and FBI all had a hand in electing Trump. How?
THEY TOTALLY DENIED AND DILBERATELY REJECTED AND IGNORED THE MIDDLE CLASS AND AMERICA FIRST POLICY.
The riots in LA blocking traffic to protest immigration today only brings more anti-DNC voters not less. Everything the DNC stands for is anti-USA. The DNC owns WW3 in Ukraine. Owns the open borders killing and raping and displacing millions.
When I hear about “hurt feelings” at the Grammy’s and elsewhere I have no respect. I have no respect for those who are okay with and vote for WAR and MURDER and RAPE. Those should not be policies worthy of votes. In the 2024 election it showed those policies are abject failures.
DNC POLICIES HAVE DESTROYED THE US ECONOMY FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS!
Proving to be a world class Nb deposit in a very low country risk of Western Australia. I used to live there and that state is like Nevada only on mining steroids. When you sit in your hotel room and watch the tv news then an ad comes on that says you can apprentice for the Super Pit mine starting at $80,000 you know mining is BIG!

This demonstrates the final stage in a conventional process flowsheet and completes proof-of-concept testwork to produce ferroniobium
Ferroniobium is the most established market for niobium products, accounting for approximately 90% of global niobium consumption
A broad range of metallurgical testwork and studies are ongoing across the beneficiation, refining and conversion processing stages, along with testwork to assess the production of other high-value niobium products
After the Trump win using podcast like Rogan and PBD the WEF has sent one of its media ambassadors out to realign our perspective. My question is why does this “cartel” need to meet in Davos with private jets when there is thing called ZOOM? I think the answer is its a “money thing” called payoffs. NO PRESS ALLOWED IN DAVOS!
Ian Bremer of the WEF had a disastrous show. Read the vid comments and see. His attempt to dissolve any evil conspiracy talk and his arrogance only made the WEF image worse. Worst PR guy ever.

Aloha! REFUSING CONGRESS OVERSIGHT ENDS WITH DOGE AGENCY CLOSURE ITS LIKE BANKS NOT ALLOWING YOU TO SEE YOUR BANK STATEMENT
For the longest time I have watched Congress investigate every US government agency from the FBI and DOJ to NIH and USAID and NGOs. Most of the time all Congress got was roadblocks and delays and refusals.
In the short if an agency refuses oversight like USAID did then it gets closed because if you cannot oversee an agency then what good is it? By law Congress has oversight.
This Forbes video is US Senator Earnst(R-IA) with Vivek and Musk looking into USAID. As the Senator says if there was any program at USAID worth saving it would be moved to the State Dept because the agency is too corrupt to save.
The goal is cut waste and fill the unemployment office with unelected corrupt career bureaucrats. What’s next for these corrupt bureaucrats is a criminal DOJ investigation for misappropriating taxpayer funds.
Americans are tired of the same old corrupt lawyer/banker politicians and now the pendulum swings to business politicians. The US government is too big.
When more than $3tril of spending goes through Washington DC each year its ripe for massive corruption. That’s just human nature and the US Founding Fathers knew better. They never wanted the bloated corrupt government in DC now. Waste is DCs middle name!

KAIMU NEVER TRUSTED DELIVERY BECAUSE THERE WAS NO BLOCKCHAIN
I stayed at the Perth Mint and Vaultchain Gold and Silver. Audited at will and all the time.
Meanwhile those trading futures who want delivery of good bars … GOOD LUCK! The bullion banks hate DELIVERY! I just wonder which sovereign wealth fund will visit force majeure on delivery?
No doubt, the other side of the squeeze is the mounting problem of stand-for-deliveries. All the evidence is that the shorts are extremely reluctant to deliver bullion using delaying tactics. It leads to an accumulation of unsatisfied demands. The rate of increase of these demands has accelerated fourfold since last year’s total of 491.2 tonnes. So far this year, from 1 January the total to yesterday was 291.4 tonnes, an annualised rate of over 2,000 tonnes.
With gold in the headlines President Trump has announced that he will “count the bullion in Fort Knox to see if it is there”. Scott Bessent has said he wants to set up a new sovereign wealth fund, putting all the Treasury’s gold into it. But everyone knows or think they know that much of it is missing. And Fort Knox has only half the Treasury’s holdings, the rest split between West Point and Denver.
It is a reasonable assumption that the Treasury has something to hide, otherwise it should have been prepared to conduct credible audits. Normally, it manages to deflect this issue. But Trump’s involvement, and particularly that of Musk and Ron Paul will make it extremely difficult for them to do so.
If Musk and Paul manage to expose the true position and that there is missing bullion, it is likely to be the thin edge of a wedge exposing shortfalls in other central bank holdings arising from non-return of leased gold going back decades. Have no doubt that the Treasury will take the view that this must be stopped in the interests of global monetary stability.
If this story gets legs, it could drive gold significantly higher. @ Goldmoney
I pray this is the long awaited HB&B comeuppance!
Aloha!
WHAT WILL BE THERE? IOUS? PROMISSORY NOTES? MISSING BARS? GLD?
Why didn’t Biden do this? Because Biden was never in charge of the Office of the Presidency under the America Last DNC political party!.
President Donald Trump on Feb. 19 backed Elon Musk’s plan to audit the gold reserves at Fort Knox.
“We’re going to go into Fort Knox to make sure the gold is there,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One. “You know that we’re going to go into Fort Knox? Did you know about that?”
Billionaire Elon Musk, one of Trump’s advisers, recently suggested verifying that Fort Knox still holds the gold that officials say it does.
Hey Elon don’t stop at just Ft Knox! There’s 13mil troy ounces at the US Fed in NYC.
What if the US Treasury under Biden sold gold or swapped gold for BTC or Tether?
FTX fraud reminds us how corrupt crypto can be. Look at the WEF and Clinton Blair photo below. Don’t forget the brilliant Shark Tankers who were fooled by FTX.
Aloha!
US GOLD RESERVES MARK TO MARKET AT $141,497.98USD PER TROY OUNCE
COVERS $37TRIL IN US DEBT
Total US gold reserves in troy ounces is 261,498,926.241.
The statutory rate for gold is $42.2222 USD per ounce as was dictated by US Treasury in 1971. That was the year Pres Nixon took the world off the Gold Standard and put us onto the Debt Standard. Every since prices for all consumer goods has risen dramatically. That’s called US dollar devaluation. Every year a USD buys less. That in itself is a fraudulent tax on US citizens and consumers as well as all those foreigners who hold US bonds and assets.
This is why Social Security and Medicare is such a major fraud. Some of us paid into Social Security when $1 would buy a Big Mac and a vanilla shake and fries at McDonalds and still have change left over. Now that same $1 won’t even buy half of a Double Cheese Burger at McDonalds.
SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE IS FRAUD AGAINST EVERY GENERATION
This is why I say you must include dividend paying stocks like CVX and XOM to supplement your retirement. Depending on Social Security alone is a very bad plan.
I wrote to George Bush in 2007 and told him I would pay my per capita of the US Debt at $300,000USD if in exchange I would never have to pay taxes again. I never heard back from him.
TOTAL US GOLD RESERVES
What does “total reserves” cover?
DEEP STORAGE which is all gold in Ft Knox, Denver and West Point.
MINT HOLDINGS is coins and blanks and working stock
FEDERAL RESERVE STORAGE all gold at US Fed in NYC vault
How much of those troy ounces are encumbered either as collateral or as a swap or a loan?
The reserves were “audited” last in Feb 2019 when Trump was in office. Did the DNC Biden Harris sell any? Loan any? Swap any? Steal any? Who knows? The way the DNC operates US citizens are always the last to know anything.
Go see for yourself.

CLASS ACTION AGAINST DEI AND LGBTQ FRAUD
Florida and its past time. I would love to see this include BlackRock and the WEF in a global class action.
The DNC and the NY and DC courts set the precedent in lawfare. The difference is this legal action has merits. Its not some DNC 1912 or 1849 revamped law. If we go by DNC NY kangaroo courts then every time a LGBTQ paycheck was signed is a full felony count. What’s that 80,000 felony counts for Target CEO and CFO? How many years in jail 8,000 years?
The last four years has been a complete repulsive inhumane political attack against every US citizen and every US company. Add in the Ukraine War and we have millions of dead and “dehoused” refugees thanks to DNC policies.
Can any trader here possibly wrap their head around the DNC proposals to tax unrealized gains? Recall that was on the DNC table to suck more taxes out of law abiding US taxpayers. With that logic the DNC would make employees pay all their payroll taxes first before they’re paid their first pay check.
Remember the DNC Biden campaigned on a “return to normal” in 2020. How’d that work? If “normal” is Stalin and Pravda and the KGB then the DNC kept their promise for four years.
Yes, by all means DOGE the SEC!
America First Legal and Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier File Class Action Lawsuit Against Target for Misleading and Defrauding Investors Over Market Risks of LGBTQ Activism
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, America First Legal (AFL) and Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, in partnership with Boyden Gray PLLC and Lawson Huck Gonzalez PLLC, filed a major class-action lawsuit against Target Corporation on behalf of the State Board of Administration of Florida. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, alleges Target knowingly misled and defrauded investors by concealing the financial risks of its radical LGBTQ activism, costing shareholders tens of billions of dollars.
The lawsuit alleges that Target violated Sections 10(b) and 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by failing to disclose known risks of customer backlash to its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) mandates, which culminated in its radical and extreme 2023 Pride Campaign. It further alleges that Target actively misled investors by claiming to monitor the social and political risks posed by its DEI and ESG initiatives. In reality, Target was only monitoring its alignment with left-wing activist groups.
The fallout from Target’s unlawful conduct was swift and catastrophic. Following the launch of Target’s 2023 Pride Campaign, Target’s stock price plummeted — wiping out $10 billion in market value in just ten days and erasing $25 billion in shareholder value over the course of six months, its worst performance and longest losing streak in 23 years.
This is the second lawsuit brought by AFL, Boyden Gray PLLC, and Lawson Huck Gonzalez PLLC against Target for securities fraud. The first case, filed in August 2023, remains ongoing after a federal judge denied Target’s motion to dismiss the case in December 2024, ruling that the company may have violated federal securities laws.
With this new lawsuit, AFL, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, and the State Board of Administration of Florida are taking decisive action to hold Target accountable for violating federal law, defrauding its investors, and prioritizing radical activism over financial responsibility to shareholders.

MUSK PICKS UP WHERE THE WEF REFUSES TO GO
BILLIONAIRES ALL
All billionaires hate the concept of “one person-one vote”.
Elon has decided like the WEF it is easier to work inside government halls than be outside looking in. The WEF has known that since Club of Rome and the 1884 Fabian Society.
The WEF pretty much placed their bet that the West would fail back in Obama days. The WEF neither had the will power or the skillset to do what is now being done by Musk and Trump. It is so much easier to tell the world that there is a huge climate threat to the world that is coming in 2040 than it is to try to save capitalism and the West right now, today. What Musk is doing today is what the RINOs have been talking about since the 1950s. Its easy to say the WEF will save humanity in 2040 with solar panels and wind turbines and stakeholder marxism than it is to cut spending and have balanced budgets now. The WEF fears offending the masses, but the WEF fears more offending the loud and angry minorities. That’s why in 2010 the WEF leaders met with the Anarchist demonstrators who used to have protest riots in major EU cities and Davos. Davos is on Antifa’s side now. Its why the WEF had their “build back better” slogan in 2020.
THE LAST THING THE COWARDS AT THE WEF WANT IS “OCCUPY DAVOS”
Reimagine if Musk were allowed to audit the WEF. The graft and the grift would be other worldly. The WEF did chose the DNC to be their empty vessel to skirt “one person-one vote”.
As I have posted here before the biggest corporations in the US and the EU embrace the legal slavery and unlimited pollution the CCP and India offers. They love oppressing billions of people for profit. Ask Apple and Nike about that. This is why ESG and DEI is a joke. The WEF knows its a joke, but for them its a footnote on their balance sheet. Not much DEI or ESG in Davos.
Below is proof(see graphic) of DNC apartheid in the USA. Over 60 years worth of black oppression. Herding black into those DNC sanctuary (D)eath traps is inhumane. That is why the WEF loves the DNC. That’s why Soros loves the DNC. Inhumanity is their policy. That was proven during covid19 mandates. The DNC mandates were proof the WEF prefers the DNC. Like FDR did in the 1940s with Japanese US citizens locking up US citizens is always a viable solution for the DNC. Censorship is always a DNC principle. Slavery, racism, censorship, mandates and inhumanity work for the WEF. Its all on display now in the UK and the EU. Who fought for slavery in the 1860s and who signed the CIVIL RIGHTS ACT in 1875? It was never the Democrat Party. These WEF DNC hypocrite people have ZERO desire to end modern slavery. If they did want to end slavery then they’d have to kick China and India out of the WTO. What would their profit margins look like then?
Meanwhile those with eyes wide open are onto the WEF/DNC con job.
Today, virtually all the giant corporations that dominate these industries owe their positions to government policies set up in their favor to the detriment of the American public.
The modern political establishment is defined by their willingness and ability to protect and expand this dynamic. It is laughable to hear them falsely criticize Musk for doing the same thing.
The same goes for his supposed violation of constitutional rules and norms. Many of the loudest establishment voices condemning this behavior were cheering just as loudly as the George Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama administrations launched dozens of undeclared wars, conducted warrantless surveillance, used torture, carried out extrajudicial assassinations on American citizens, and provided aid and comfort to Al Qaeda.
At the very least, these are explicit violations of Article 1, Section 8; Article 3, Section 3; and the Sixth Amendment of the Constitution, as well as Section 2340A of Title 18 of the United States Code.
And during the covid pandemic, the political establishment took the exact same kind of approach they’re now criticizing Musk for conducting. Federal and state governments rushed to close businesses, schools, and churches and prohibit people from attending public gatherings—all without even pretending to care about the constitutional rules and norms they’re now feigning concern about.
Next, the implication that what Musk is doing is illegitimate because he’s unelected is ridiculous. Not only was it made very clear to voters before the election that Musk would do this if Trump won, virtually the entire federal workforce that the establishment is trying to protect from Musk is unelected too. The millions of unelected officials who conduct the bulk of federal government operations were brought on and set to work without even a fraction of the transparency and publicity involved in Trump’s appointment of Elon Musk.
Speaking of transparency, it’s comical that a political class that classifies an estimated fifty million documents a year—ninety percent of which are “probably unnecessary” according to some establishment legal experts—is voicing disgust over Musk’s team’s occasional use of discretion.
Finally, it is appalling to hear the American political establishment criticize Elon Musk for his supposed willingness to hurt the poor and vulnerable to make himself better off. That is essentially all these people have done the entire time they’ve been in power. Over a century of government meddling in crucially important industries has made it harder for the poorest Americans to afford food, education, housing, healthcare services, and medications. -mises.org

If this were Exxon or Texas the ratings would have already been booked!
How can such a major criminal enterprise dwelling deep inside the US government under DNC protection be concealed for so long? Four years of grift under puppet Biden was what 80mil voted for as a “return to normal” in 2020! It shows those voters have no business being registered. Or were they?
Now reimagine what California books must look like. Or LA and San Fran? NYC? Where are these MUNI ratings downgrades?
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) said on Feb. 17 that a total of $4.7 trillion worth of payments from the Treasury Department are almost impossible to trace because of missing account identification codes.
DOGE said the Treasury Department has assigned identification codes called Treasury Access Symbols (TAS), designed to note which account a Treasury payment is linked to, which DOGE said was a “standard financial process” for bookkeeping. However, the codes were not assigned for trillions of dollars worth of payments as the field was considered optional, according to the agency.
“In the Federal Government, the TAS field was optional for ~$4.7 trillion in payments and was often left blank, making traceability almost impossible,” DOGE stated on the social media platform X.
Okay credit rating agencies where are you? Where were you the past 40 years?
DEEPAY WINS AGAIN!

IPERIONX(IPX:ASX) AWARDED $47.1MIL CONTRACT BY US DOD +8%
As posted prior KAIMU waiting for the DoD to keep titanium onshore USA and cut off the CCP. Complete total titanium vertical from mine to parts! Not just titanium also rare earths. The US DoD sees the value of cutting the CCP and Russia out of the US defense supply chain.
Finally we get rid of the slow roll incompetent DNC Biden and get this US mining show on the road! Trump DoD took a month while the DNC Biden DoDuD didn’t even make anything happen in four years.
IPERIONX AWARDED $47.1M BY THE U.S. DOD TO SECURE U.S. TITANIUM SUPPLY CHAINS
IperionX Limited (NASDAQ: IPX, ASX: IPX) (IperionX) is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a contract for up to US$47.1 million in funding by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to strengthen the U.S. Defense Industrial Base by accelerating development of a resilient, low-cost, and fully-integrated U.S. mineral-to-metal titanium supply chain.
This strategic partnership represents a combined investment of US$70.7 million between IperionX and the DoD to fund a two-phase development program over a two-year period. The agreement aims to strengthen U.S. titanium production capabilities, supporting national security and economic resilience.
As part of the initial phase, the DoD has obligated US$5 million through the Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment (IBAS) program and IperionX will contribute US$1 million, to expedite the Titan Critical Minerals Project in Tennessee to ‘shovel-ready’ status, an important milestone in securing a new domestic source of titanium, rare earths and zircon critical minerals.
The remaining US$42.1 million awarded under the contract is expected to be obligated by the DoD over the duration of the agreement, with the funds to be applied to facilitating vertical integration and increased titanium production capacity at IperionX’s Titanium Manufacturing Campus in Virginia.
Anastasios (Taso) Arima, IperionX CEO said: “This award is a pivotal moment in IperionX’s mission to re-shore the U.S. titanium industry. For too long, American industry has been reliant on foreign-controlled supply chains for this critical high-strength metal. IperionX’s proprietary technologies, combined with the Titan Project, offer a pathway for a resilient end-to-end U.S. titanium supply chain. We are proud to be selected by the DoD as a key partner in strengthening U.S. industrial and defense capabilities.”
Just a reminder other Japanese companies are onboard also for future off takes.

WHAT IF POLICE AND BORDER PATROL ARE OWNED BY THE CARTELS AND CCP?
LIKE THEY ARE IN MEXICO
REAL SCALABLE ECONOMIC COSTS CAME WITH A WEF OPEN BORDER POLICY!
More Biden DNC fallout from a wide open border. An open border that both AMLO and the new Mexico Presidente Claudia supported. Ass in Trudeau was all in on never stopping criminals and illegals coming into the USA from the north.
Its a human nature thing. Repeated a ton of times on tv shows like Miami Vice and CSI.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer allegedly involved in migrant smuggling on the El Paso border was allegedly a member of a Mexican drug cartel, a federal agent testified.
A federal magistrate judge ordered CBP Officer Manuel Perez Jr., 32, of El Paso, to remain jailed without bond at a detention hearing Thursday, Feb. 13, in federal court in Downtown El Paso. Perez is allegedly a member of the La Linea drug cartel.
Perez was fired from CBP after his arrest on federal human and drug smuggling charges on Feb. 8 by the FBI El Paso West Texas Border Corruption Task Force following a multi-agency investigation, court officials said. If convicted, he could face 10 years up to life in prison.
“Multiple witnesses said he belonged to La Linea cartel in Mexico,” a special agent with the CBP Office of Professional Responsibility testified at the hearing.
Perez allegedly told investigators that he was being paid $2,500 for each undocumented person he allowed to pass at his inspection lane at the Paso Del Norte international bridge in Downtown El Paso, the special agent testified.
The exact number of smuggled persons Perez waved through his border inspection point was unclear.
The prosecution said that Perez may have been paid as much as $400,000 in a border migrant smuggling scheme dating to December 2023. A cocaine distribution conspiracy case dates from Feb. 5 going back to November 2019, according to the indictment.
Smugglers in intercepted phone calls spoke of “100% guaranteed” crossings because they had “the officer in their pocket,” the agent testified. The names of others involved in smuggling have not been disclosed.
I am willing to bet there was cartel DNC NGO money laundering ops once all the investigations are said and done. The cartel laundering funds into shell DNC NGOs and then the NGO passing it along to DNC political funding. Using the name DEEKSEEK I would call it DEEPAY!
PAY TO PLAY!

AGENTIC AI AT PREFLECT
ALWAYS INNOVATING
AI enhances human workforce performance. Then there is “Agentic” AI. In a world where cutting costs becomes highly desirable due to inflationary and regulatory labor and material costs the small business e-commerce companies need to level the field with the Amazons of the world.
For AI marketing it comes down to managed service offerings where you can automate fulfillment in the near term future using a combo SaaS and Agentic AI. The basic six stages of e-commerce fulfillment can be enhanced at every stage. Like “reorg” without the Chapter 11 part!
Unlike the DNC spending effects budgets and that matters a lot to small businesses. The other key factor is the mixology with platforms like META. How do you interface with META ads when you don’t know META structure and algos? Another AI app PREFLECT does where small business cannot afford their own AI R&D like META and Amazon. Kind of like why KAIMU is a member of NFIB. I cannot afford to lobby Washington DC on my own. I am not Jeff Bezos or Mark or Elon. PREFLECT services are an “AI lobby” in the tech cyber e-commerce world that is rapidly evolving every day.
AI has no use for DEI or ESG in terms of efficient and actionable business enhancement. DEI and ESG does not enhance productivity. Its the opposite. You have to wonder where the DEI is at the WEF which is mostly anglo european billionaires? Why would the WEF want DEI or ESG? The WEF like being on top and slavery and pollution is just their byproduct for wealth accumulation. Why else would China and India be key manufacturing zones for globalist elites at the WEF? The CCP gives the WEF cheap labor with no unions and no EPA! That’s why Apple’s Tim Cook loves the CCP. Those iPhones are full of maximum profit on the backs of poor oppressed and polluted Chinese labor. Now the question is: Why is the CCP in the WTO?

CVX Q4 2024 FINANCIALS BREAK A FEW RECORDS
One of the goals is to increased company’s exploration exposure in Gulf of America.
Unlike BTC oil & gas companies and gold mining companies have assets in the ground called reserves. Unlike BTC these resource companies operate in a global market based on real world supply and demand not fake world hype and celeb promos. Unlike BTC Chevron has been around for two world wars and pays dividends.
If dividends are not part of your future retirement plans then plan on not retiring. Dividends and royalties are how the rich stay rich.
As a dividend holder CVX has upped the dividend by 5%. That does not keep up with inflation by itself but it makes a dent. Stock price increase the past 1Y was 3.3%.
2024 Financial Highlights
• Reported earnings decreased compared to last year primarily due to lower margins on refined product sales, lower realizations, and severance charges, partially offset by the absence of charges for decommissioning obligations for previously sold assets, higher sales volumes and lower impairment charges.
• Worldwide and U.S. net oil-equivalent production set annual records. Worldwide production increased 7 percent from a year ago primarily due to nearly 18 percent growth in the Permian Basin and a full year of legacy PDC Energy, Inc. (PDC) production.
• Year-end 2024 proved reserves were approximately 9.8 billion barrels of net oil-equivalent, subject to final reviews. The largest reductions were from production and the sale of oil sands and shale and tight assets in Canada, and the largest additions were from extensions and discoveries in the Permian and Denver-Julesburg (DJ) Basins.
• Capex was slightly higher than 2023, primarily due to higher upstream investments. Affiliate capex was down $1.1 billion, primarily due to lower spend at the company’s Tengizchevroil (TCO) affiliate in Kazakhstan.
• Cash flow from operations was lower than a year ago mainly due to lower earnings and higher payments related to asset retirement obligations, partially offset by favorable working capital effects.
• Cash flow from investing improved from last year driven by $7.7 billion of proceeds from asset sales in Canada and the U.S.
• The company returned a record $27.0 billion of cash to shareholders during the year, including share repurchases of $15.2 billion and dividends of $11.8 billion. Over the past three years, the company has returned over $75 billion to shareholders.
• The company’s Board of Directors declared a 5 percent increase in the quarterly dividend to one dollar and seventy-one cents ($1.71) per share, payable March 10, 2025.
CVX sold assets in Canada, Alaska and Rep of Congo to buy HESS.
“We strengthened our portfolio and committed to reduce costs and maintain capital discipline, positioning us for significant free cash flow growth,” Wirth concluded.
CVX plans to do a $2-$3bil structural cost cutting policy targeted by 2026. Getting out of California would help cut costs.
Both CVX and XOM HQs moving to The Woodlands Texas which is Kaimu’s backyard.
Free Cash Flow $5bil
ROCE 10.1%
Business Highlights and Milestones
• Started production at the industry-first 20,000 psi deepwater Anchor project, began water injection to boost production from the Jack/St. Malo and Tahiti fields, and started production from the Whale semi-submersible platform in the Gulf of America.
• Started production at the Future Growth Project in January 2025, which is expected to ramp up total output to around one million barrels of oil-equivalent per day, and completed the Wellhead Pressure Management Project at TCO.
• Recently announced plans to jointly develop scalable power solutions using natural gas-fired turbines with flexibility to integrate carbon capture and storage to support growing energy demand from U.S. data centers.
• Achieved first gas on the Sanha Lean Gas Connection project, securing incremental natural gas supply to the Angola Liquefied Natural Gas facility.
• Extended the Meji field offshore Nigeria with a near-field discovery and added 20 years to the deepwater Agbami concession through 2044.
• Upgraded the Pasadena Refinery to increase product flexibility and expand the processing capacity of lighter crude oil by nearly 15 percent to 125,000 barrels per day.
• Increased the company’s exploration acreage position in the Gulf of America, Angola, Brazil, Equatorial Guinea, Uruguay and Namibia (subject to government approval).
• Completed the sale of the company’s interest in the Athabasca Oil Sands Project and Duvernay shale assets in Canada, certain assets in Alaska, and in 2025, the Republic of Congo.
• Progressed the company’s pending merger with Hess Corporation by securing Hess stockholder approval and clearing Federal Trade Commission antitrust review.
• Completed projects and operational changes designed to abate 700,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalent from the company’s operations.
• Drilled onshore and offshore stratigraphic wells to delineate carbon dioxide storage potential through the company’s joint venture, Bayou Bend CCS LLC.
• Launched a $500 million Future Energy Fund III focused on venture investments in technology-based solutions that have the potential to enable affordable, reliable and lower carbon energy.
I would like to see Chevron restart their mining ops for copper like they had in the 1960s and 1970s. If I recall they had a copper mine in Arizona.
DRILL BABY DRILL!
Of course more supply means lower prices and tighter margins as I expect demand won’t grow that fast until 2027. It takes time to decompress from the past four years of inflationary mayhem. Usually that leads to some sort of recessionary pressures. Lets face it the global trade will not be robust.

MARK CUBAN WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT
I love it! That means its the end of the corrupt slimey “lawyer class” is now being replaced by the “business class”. Trump opened the way for more candidates with top CEO business experience and closed the door on the freeloading lawyers whose only purpose is to create more legal chaos. Lawyers never solve problems like trade or wars they make it worse. Lawyers got the CCP into the WTO. Lawyers got the horrible NAFTA. Lawyers got us ACA Obama Care.
I expect to see Mark Cuban making a DNC play in 2028. Why DNC? I am not sure because he was always more of libertarian type in his early days. Maybe he knows the WEF will back him. He needs to dump his DEI and ESG posturing though.
Would I vote for Mark? Maybe. It depends on his policies. I already voted with him using my own funds. We are partner investors in PREFLECT, an AI based e-commerce marketing company. He is #1 lead and I am the 2 lead investor in the PREFLECT startup..

Mark has some great attributes and has proven business experience. He has flaws and I think some of those came into play with the MAVs. Not unlike every CEO I ever met he has “control issues”. Wow! Who da thunk it????
Mark is also a “reality tv star”!
Just an FYI the two founders of PREFLECT were 20 when they started the company four years ago. Its not unheard of for younguns to be extremely talented, smart and trustworthy.
DOGE is okay by me!

SHE SIGNED HER DEATH WISH AND THE DNC APPROVES
IF AN OPEN BORDER IS OKAY THEN SO IS MURDER
The DNC and the Mexican cartels have had a symbiotic relationship the past four years. The DNC opens the US southern border and the DNC NGOs and cartels make billions smuggling poison, drugs, children and women for sex and slavery. Its a great deal for all involved. A bad deal for law abiding US citizens who pay taxes.
Now Trump and Pam Bondi have signed their death wish. If they thought going after the DNC was a bullet fest in Butler then the cartels make the DNC look like ISIS K. I wrote that Trump would be ousted a month ago. I also wrote about how there would be an assassination attempt during the election. There was an election assassination attempt on Trump under the auspices of the US Secret Service. The cartels do not need the CIA or the FBI or the Secret Service.
The cartels and NGOs are unelected like Musk is. I prefer Musk!
Once declared terrorists organizations, they are now subject to drone kills:

$7BIL CRITICAL MINERALS TAX INCENTIVES UP FOR GRABS ON THE ASX
WA1(ASX) is on the list. IPX(ASX) has too much assets in the USA to be on the list. Somewhere and some day it might be good for Trump to step on the gas! What’s he waiting for? Why isn’t critical minerals tax incentives and grants front page news on Yahoo Financial and CNBC?
The Australian Federal Government is close to securing approval in the Senate for a $7 billion tax incentive package aimed at bolstering Australia’s critical minerals and rare earths industry.
Federal Minister for Resources Madeleine King spoke to ABC’s 7:30, saying the incentive would create jobs, strengthen supply chains and position Australia as a global leader in mineral processing.
“The production tax credits for critical minerals and rare earths is a tax support and incentive to help companies process and refine critical minerals and rare earths here in Australia,” King said.
“That’s important because critical minerals and rare earths go into modern technologies that we use every day, like mobile phones, laptops, batteries, but also for green energy technology, like solar panels and wind turbines, (and) defense applications.”

FOREIGN AID ALWAYS FAILS
USAID IS A JOKE
This USAID scandal shows the DNC as corrupted beyond repair. The DNC is not angry at the waster tax dollars thrown away in foreign gay bars. The DNC is most angry at getting caught being corrupt. No wonder the WEF prefers the DNC to carry out their corrupt goals.
If you ever saw the movie BLACKHAWK DOWN you got to see a little econ primer of how USAID works. If you recall the War Lord got all the food and they even shot the people who tried to get a bag of rice. All while US Blackhawk helicopters circled the drop zone witnessing the atrocities created by bureaucrats in Washington DC. In fact most of Mogadishu was a DC bureaucrat failure.
Reimagine being a poor starving person in Afghanistan and you get LGBTQ aid from the USAID. Or you get USAID drag show and condoms?
Since foreign aid is administered by clueless marxist DNC government bureaucrats the aid never reaches the people who need it most. Meantime its the DNC politicians who get kick backs and campaign donations from the USAID recipients. A positively corrupt feedback loop.
BRIEF HISTORY AND ANALYSIS OF US FOREIGN AID
Since foreign aid goes to foreign governments the governments often pocket the money themselves or sell the in-kind aid on international markets and enrich themselves that way. During the 1970s famine in Ethiopia the government there sold the donated food while thousands starved, but spent $200 million to celebrate the nation’s Marxist revolution. They even charged cargo ships delivering “food aid” a $50/ton docking fee and turned back any ship that refused to pay it.
The type of “aid” is very often useless because it is government bureaucrats and not entrepreneurs who are making investment decisions. Foreign aid bureaucrats substitute their own random whims and hunches for the consumer-oriented decisions that entrepreneurs would make on the free market. Osterfeld cites giant oil refineries in countries with no oil and grain storage facilities that are not accessible by farmers as being typical.
When American manufacturers send tractors and other equipment to less developed countries, paid for by foreign aid funds, it is the corporations that are thereby enriched, not the aid recipients. Since all manufacturers have some percentage of their products are defective, these are the ones that are sent to foreign countries which then resent being dumped on in that way.
Since foreign aid is from government to government, the effect is to centralize governmental power in the recipient countries even more than it already is. Politics becomes more and more the way to make money as opposed to working, saving, investing, learning a marketable skill, and entrepreneurship. The domain of rent seeking and bribery is greatly expanded.
Massive shipments of grain through foreign aid programs pushes the price of grain to such a low level that scores of farmers are bankrupted and forced to move to the high-unemployment cities to seek employment and earn a living somehow. God only knows how many people in poor countries have starved to death because of such generosity. As in manufacturing, American corporate farmers are enriched by pawning off their excess grain (paid for by government) while people in poor countries suffer and die from it. -mises.org
Meantime we have less food for poor people in the USA and the EU. From whose food stock does this “free food” come from? Add in the circumvention of free markets when government pays more for AID than markets dictate. The entire idea of “fixing food scarcity and poverty” in foreign countries is a scam.
Who can forget Oprah and Bono guilting Western countries to forgive Africa Debt? That was typical Oprah celeb failure just like she failed in Maui and in the 2024 election. She got rich, but nobody else did. Hollywood is DOA!
DEFUND THE DNC!
“Foreign aid goes from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries.” -Rand Paul
We are in agreement that the DNC went way overboard with WEF. We argued against it for years. But I feel the GOP is now going overboard in the other direction. There is a mean-spiritedness from Trump not previously seen in American culture. The firing of the highest-ranked woman officer in the military because she is a woman, fired while she was in line at an Inauguration ball to have her photo taken with Trump was improper, and then to give her 3-hour notice to evacuate her home was deplorable. But later, overriding the 60-day evacuation notice from the Coast Guard to make the point that the original order was to be carried out precisely was reprehensible. Unlike anything in America, these are Putin’s tactics. And when the DNC regains the Presidency, we can expect the opposite treatment. Don’t Trump acolytes fear retribution, or do they believe he is now dictator?
It seems like Trump acolytes have been targeted for the past four years with ccp tactics. Everything from shutting down churches and businesses to debanking and censorship. All ccp policies.
If the Trump DOJ prosecutes DNC law breakers is that “retribution” or is that “accountability”?
In 2020, aparently from Trump 1.0, the US government bought $2.1 billion in food aid from American farmers. So, farmers are now defunded? Why don’t you ask the logical question to support your thesis? Why is the $2.1 billion in farm aid not going under Trump 2.0 to America’s poor to ‘fix food scarcity and poverty’ in America?
Bill, I hear you but 2020 was five years ago. You make my point. How do we know $2.1bil was spent on food aid? What agency bought the food aid? Where was it stored? Someone show us the receipts and the shipping bills. USAID is showing total fraud where funds even went to Wuhan for covid via NIH and Fauci’s cohorts not any sort of “AID”! Someone signed off on all this fraud. Funds that could have been spent on actual “food” or even medicine or other needed products. The CCP builds roads and the USAID send condoms and gay comic books. Its laughable!
After 60yrs of DNC crushing poverty and these sanctuary (d)eath camp ghettos minorities are forced into where do you think funds go? I would say Chicago and NYC are just two more Mogadishus, just the track record alone of poverty and violence recycled decade after decade. It does not matter what Trump does he has no power over US states and cities and their tactics and corruption. You address one end of the supply chain. After that transportation and distribution gauntlets are obstacles. NGOs and DNC politicians are the gatekeepers of (D)states and cities. In some cases like Chicago its been 70yrs of DNC rule. That’s a lot of embedded corruption in Chicago.
To make a huge difference in helping the poor end all carbon tax and tax on gasoline. That also benefits farmers and truckers moving food to market. It would be the one easiest action government could take to benefit their citizens, but none of the DNC want to give up a dime of their climate change fraud.
The system is embedded with crime and corruption. You know and I know if we ran our LLCs like USAID did we would have bene in jail years ago. Why should government get a pass? Where is the criminal investigation on the officers at USAID?

IperionX has reported advancements for the quarter ending 31 December 2024, highlighted by the completion of its inaugural “end-to-end” titanium metal powder production using the proprietary HAMR process.
This advancement at its Titanium Manufacturing Campus in Virginia marks a crucial step in leveraging high-oxygen titanium scrap to produce low-oxygen, high-quality titanium metal powder.
The company also made strides in manufacturing, commissioning a new 100-ton uniaxial hydraulic powder metallurgy press to meet increasing customer demand for high-value, near-net-shape titanium products.
The adoption of its patented Hydrogen Sintering and Phase Transformation (HSPT) technology has enabled faster, cost-effective production of high-quality titanium products, circumventing traditional, resource-intensive methods.
In research and development, IperionX reconfigured its Salt Lake City Industrial Pilot Facility to focus on producing new alloys, including zirconium and refractory metals such as niobium and tantalum.

THE DNC ELECTED DONALD TRUMP!
All the legal eagle experts I saw on this site and all over X and YouTube got Trump elected. It started 40 years ago with the Clintons. Then to the Bush and Obama and Biden. All the DNC DOJ and FBI all had a hand in electing Trump. How?
THEY TOTALLY DENIED AND DILBERATELY REJECTED AND IGNORED THE MIDDLE CLASS AND AMERICA FIRST POLICY.
The riots in LA blocking traffic to protest immigration today only brings more anti-DNC voters not less. Everything the DNC stands for is anti-USA. The DNC owns WW3 in Ukraine. Owns the open borders killing and raping and displacing millions.
When I hear about “hurt feelings” at the Grammy’s and elsewhere I have no respect. I have no respect for those who are okay with and vote for WAR and MURDER and RAPE. Those should not be policies worthy of votes. In the 2024 election it showed those policies are abject failures.

REFUSING CONGRESS OVERSIGHT ENDS WITH DOGE AGENCY CLOSURE
ITS LIKE BANKS NOT ALLOWING YOU TO SEE YOUR BANK STATEMENT
For the longest time I have watched Congress investigate every US government agency from the FBI and DOJ to NIH and USAID and NGOs. Most of the time all Congress got was roadblocks and delays and refusals.
In the short if an agency refuses oversight like USAID did then it gets closed because if you cannot oversee an agency then what good is it? By law Congress has oversight.
This Forbes video is US Senator Earnst(R-IA) with Vivek and Musk looking into USAID. As the Senator says if there was any program at USAID worth saving it would be moved to the State Dept because the agency is too corrupt to save.
