GOP Victory Laps Will Backfire if They Are Not Careful. Please Don't Spike Football on the 1 Yard Line... Again.
Silver Academy Distrustful of both sides of the Aisle. Yes this Post has a lot to do with Silver. Silver is the story of Politics. You can't analyze Silver without Analyzing Politics.

Please No Victory Laps GOP. Those in Power Do Desperate Things.
The past 3 to 5 years are unlike I've ever seen.
I never thought I'd see a Nation unleash a biological weapon on the world (COVID-19) via gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Virology lab.
I never thought the media would monetize a virus and that Doctors would be silenced for raising concerns about an experimental drug.
Still today no one has gone to jail for launching COVID-19 on the World stage which killed many people with comorbidities (elderly, cancer, obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular)
Still Today, the CDC recommends COVID-19 vaccines for everyone 6 months and older. This is so insane given no one in this age group died from COVID-19 (if they were otherwise healthy) Moreover, it is not a vaccine; it's an experimental drug and Pfizer paid its promoters across Government and media ranks to hype this dangerous drug.
During this time, the Fed and accomplice banks printed more currency than it had for its entire existence. During this time gas, food, rent in some markets exploded 2 to 3 times.
Just 8 days ago or so there was a serious assassination attempt on Former President Trump and it’s like this entire saga has disappeared from the media.
There were multiple shooters and dozens of questions surrounding Thomas Matthew Crooks and everyone with a brain in their skull understands the shooter had help while Dept of Homeland Security (a bureau that came into existence after The US blew up its own people and buildings) is stonewalling Freedom of Information inquiries
Kim Cheatle (head of Secret Service) should be in a jail cell under interrogation but instead will “testify” before Congress
Last night Biden quits office on Twitter? WTF?
White House staff find out ONE MINUTE later
Joe Biden "resignation" letter not on official letterhead
Biden "signature" suspect (underlined?)
Steve Richetti helped write letter
Jill Biden tweets *heart emoji* response
White House *WIPES* Biden's schedule
WH Chief of Staff calls Cabinet, manages Communications
Frank Biden confirms health a factor
Family suggests Biden may have terminal illness
Joe Biden holds no LIVE Press Conference
Where is Joe Biden, is he even alive?
So now its Kamala Harris
Here come the Cultural Wars
Kamala Harris isn’t black. She’s Indian American. She pretends to be black as part of the DEI quota or as some sick “identity politics” ploy.
Careful what you wish for.
When Leaders fall it often gets worse.
What is a Power Vacuum and why is it dangerous?
Power Struggles in the Animal Kingdom and Human Society:
Animals: When a dominant alpha male like a silverback gorilla dies, chaos erupts. Rival males, previously kept in check, challenge each other for dominance. This can lead to brutal fights and injuries as they battle for the right to lead the troop and access mates.
Cartels: In the ruthless world of drug cartels, the arrest of a powerful boss is a bloody affair. Underlings scramble to fill the power vacuum, leading to turf wars and assassinations as rival factions fight for control of the lucrative drug trade.
Mafia: The Mafia, however, takes a different approach. Recognizing that prolonged violence weakens their organization, they often call for a "pacification" or "sit-down." This temporary truce allows rival factions to negotiate a new power structure and avoid unnecessary bloodshed. Of course, this peace is fragile and can shatter with the slightest provocation.
overthrowing a bad leader (or in the case of Biden “stepping down” isn't always a happily ever after.
History's full of plot twists where things go from bad to brutal.
Often kicking out a tyrant creates a power vacuum, a fancy term for an empty leadership chair. This vacuum sucks in ambitious power-mongers, like a political black hole. The result? A strongman even worse than the first one emerges, leaving the kingdom or village worse off than before.
Let's bust out the history books and see this drama play out in real life.
Take the Roman Republic. It was like a reality show with constant political backstabbing and civil wars. Finally, the citizens went "enough is enough" and took down Julius Caesar.
Problem is, this created a power struggle where the next in line fiercely fight each other to achieve “top dog” status.
Enter Octavian, Caesar's adopted son. He promised to restore order, but it felt more like a dictatorship with less freedom for the people. Oops!
Fast forward to France. The French monarchy was basically a party for the rich while everyone else ate dirt. The people got fed up and started a revolution – think "Les Misérables" meets "The Hunger Games." Liberty, equality, and fraternity were all the rage, but then things got messy. Power struggles erupted, and Napoleon Bonaparte, a military superstar, swooped in and declared himself Emperor. Sure, Napoleon brought stability, but guess what else he brought? Constant wars, crushed dissent, and a whole lot of suffering. Not exactly the revolution's dream ending.
Finally, let's travel to China. The Qing Dynasty was like a leaky ship, full of corruption and weakness. It eventually sank, creating a power vacuum. Enter Mao Zedong, the Communist Party leader, who emerged victorious after decades of chaos. The Communists promised a shiny, new China, but Mao's rule turned into a nightmare. The Great Famine and the Cultural Revolution were brutal chapters, leaving millions dead. Not exactly the "Great Leap Forward" everyone envisioned.
So, the next time you hear about a revolution, remember this: history teaches us that overthrowing a bad leader doesn't guarantee a perfect future. Sometimes, it just opens the door for a power-hungry strongman to make things even worse.
Pros and Cons of Trump
Yesterday my 13 year old asked me who I favor Kamala Harris or Donald Trump. Here is how I responded.
I told him why I don’t vote.
I don’t vote because I do not endorse our system of rigged “late stage capitalism” which privatizes profits and socializes losses. I explained to him how I can’t endorse a a political system that feeds off 251 wars since 1991.
But I did let him know that if I were to vote I would mostly support Trump because during his last term he made an effort to improve foreign relations with Russia whereas the Joe Biden, Anthony Blinken, Victoria Nuland NEOCONS (and their complicit Congressional sycophants) have stolen over 180 billion dollars (desperately needed at home)
I also like that Trump has whispered about a Gold standard vis-à-vis Judy Shelton’s Gold backed US treasury bills. But remember what I said earlier about how a strong man emerges to make things worse? We must all hope and pray this never comes to reality. This would be quite a headwind for silver but silver would win
Jamie Dimon is Silver’s Public Enemy #1 (tied with Jeff Christian and a dozen other villains)
