“Why? Don’t we pay enough taxes to the federal government for them to get the job done? Unless of course, they would be shooting down their own drones?”
Give states the power to shoot down drones, says Homeland Security secretary
The US Homeland Security secretary has said states need the power to shoot down drones following criticisms of the government’s response to sightings across the East Coast.
Alejandro Mayorkas made the comments after state officials in New York and New Jersey said that Joe Biden’s administration had failed to get a grip on the issue.
Kathy Hochul, the New York governor, said drone activity had closed down the runways at Stewart International Airport.

Housing Bubble & Bust #1 and #2 as Seen through Employment in Mortgage Lending
Housing bubbles create employment bubbles at mortgage lenders, and housing busts then cause the employment bubble at mortgage lenders to implode. From June 2021 through October 2024, employment at nonbank mortgage lenders plunged 35.8%, according to the latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
At the low-point in June, employment at nonbank mortgage lenders was down by 37% from the peak, having plunged from 292,700 employees in June 2021 to 183,100 employees in June 2024, the lowest since 1997, lower even than during Housing Bust 1.
Bill’s Commentary:
“If you look back at a chart, gold (and silver) back in October 2022, bottomed one day after the US Treasury said they were sequestering (confiscating) $300 billion+ of Russia’s Treasury reserves. The entire world saw this, do you really believe the world will be on board to store their wealth in something that can be shut down and taken electronically by the whim of a computer keystroke? No matter what, the US Dollar will lose its reserve currency status… B.R.I.C.S.”

“The 2nd half of this article by David Jensen is some very good history of Ft. Knox gold reserves.”
As Currency Debasement Squeezes The US, The Age Old Question: Is The Gold All There David Rockefeller?
As we are told the economy is strong and citizens are doing well, we continue to note and see further signs that this is not the case.
And as price inflation continues along with a sudden increase in interest rates, those who work for a living are being squeezed with their income barely sufficient to meet everyday expenses.

Vatican ‘on the brink of Bankruptcy’ due to dramatic decline in global donations under Pope Francis’ Leadership
The Vatican has found itself in an unprecedented financial crisis as of late and according to reports, it was caused by a decline in donations.
The Vatican, which is the global headquarters of the Catholic Church, may be on the brink of bankruptcy, according to the Daily Express. A combination of factors brought about the crisis, but many blame the management of Pope Francis, who became the 266th pope in 2013.
A decade later, in 2023, the Vatican reported an operating deficit of $87 million. The number had increased by $5.3 million in the span of a year. This is one of the largest debts the Vatican has ever accumulated, and it jeopardizes the livelihoods of retired clergy and staff.
Bill’s Commentary:
“The majority of derivatives are written in dollar terms. This means that losers must pay back (or margin) in dollars. A strong dollar (and higher interest rates) from here are NOT conducive to the US, nor the rest of the world. We will soon see!”

California squirrels turning into carnivorous killers: ‘Never seen before’ia squirrels turning into carnivorous killers: ‘Never seen before’
Evolution works in mysterious ways. Sometimes, it creates specialized carnivores with sharp teeth and claws; other times, it turns seemingly peaceful plant-eaters into opportunistic hunters. Scientists have just documented the latter in action, discovering that California ground squirrels – those supposedly harmless seed-gatherers – have developed a taste for meat and the skills to obtain it.
