Minnesota Election Judge Faces Felony Charges for Allowing Unregistered People to Vote
An election judge in Minnesota is now facing serious criminal charges after he allowed multiple unregistered residents to cast votes anyway in the recent election.
As reported by Breitbart, Judge Timothy Michael Scouton was responsible for overseeing the election process in Badoura Township, a small town with a population of roughly 100 people. Hubbard County Auditor Kay Rave filed a complaint after she determined that she could not find completed registration forms among the ballots she received from Scouton’s jurisdiction.
This complaint led to an investigation by the Hubbard County Sheriff’s Office. Eventually, another judge who worked with Scouton on election night came forward and told police that Scouton explicitly ordered voters to not fill out the Minnesota Voter Registration Application. A third judge said that Scouton simply told new voters to sign the back of a book rather than fill out any official forms.
Bill’s Commentary:
“Let me make this easy for you. If you lie about inflation, that adjusts the GDP deflator lower which will show an increase in real GDP, very simple! Now as an aside. If you want the lower CPI numbers to be believed, just knock the shit out of gold and silver with paper contracts to ultimately suppress the price. And, if you want to suppress gold prices, silver MUST be kept in the box because it will act as a fuse for gold blowing sky high and exposing the CPI fraud. This is all so easy… get it now?”
The United States has been in a recession for years.
Many commentators cannot understand why Trump won the elections despite a robust economy. The reality is far more complex. I have repeatedly stated in my articles and TV appearances on Making Money (Fox News) and CNBC’s Squawkbox Europe that the U.S. economy was significantly weaker than the official headlines suggested. I called it a “private sector recession”.
Anyone who has delved into the supposedly solid headline figures can clearly see the real weakness of the U.S. economy. An unsustainable increase in government spending and federal debt bloated the official GDP, making gross domestic income significantly weaker than headline GDP. Additionally, the Conference Board and University of Michigan consumer confidence readings, well below 2019 and 2021 levels, indicated a stagnant economy. Significant negative revisions and concerning elements were evident in the job reports.

“The most embarrassing day in US history”
Trump Team Weighs Courts-Martial For Officers Who Oversaw Afghanistan Withdrawal
Donald Trump’s transition team is making a list of senior military officers who oversaw the disastrous 2021 withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan, and considering the possibility of court-martialing them for their failings, according to two sources cited by NBC News.
“They’re taking it very seriously,” said a source who claims to have knowledge of the initiative. The most notorious incident of the chaotic withdrawal was the Aug. 26, 2021 suicide bombing at Abbey Gate, just outside Hamid Karzai International Airport in the Afghan capital, Kabul. Thirteen US service members and more than 170 Afghan civilians were killed. In the following days, a US airstrike intended to kill the leader of the Islamic State instead killed 10 innocents. The rapid collapse of the US-sponsored Afghanistan government allowed enormous quantities of US weapons to fall into the hands of the Taliban.

“Interesting on silver, and this makes sense”
China Will Pay Above Spot and is Buying Silver Concentrate Directly from Mexico, Peru and Bolivia.
By paying the above spot for Silver concentrate from Peru, Mexico, and Bolivia, they are also achieving another significant objective: US weapons and aerospace manufacturers now have to stand in line.
Reports emerging from China indicate that the country is importing silver concentrate directly from major producing nations like Peru, Bolivia, and Mexico.
This development has significant implications for the silver market, particularly as it suggests a shift away from traditional trading platforms such as COMEX.

Oklahoma Brings Bible Back To Classrooms In Major Win For Conservatives
Oklahoma conservatives have scored a significant victory as state Superintendent Ryan Walters announced the return of the Bible to classrooms across the state. Walters’ initiative, starting with Advanced Placement government classes, reflects a growing pushback against the leftist agenda that has dominated American education.
In a video posted on X, Walters shared the news of purchasing over 500 Bibles, declaring, “The Bible is back in Oklahoma’s classrooms. We are getting our kids back on track.” He also expressed his intent to expand the program further, aiming to place a Bible in every classroom in the state.

Pentagon fails 7th audit in a row but says progress made
The Pentagon on Friday failed its seventh audit in a row, with the nation’s largest government agency still unable to fully account for its more than $824 billion budget, though officials stress they are making good progress toward a clean audit in 2028.
The Department of Defense technically earned a disclaimer of opinion, meaning it failed to provide sufficient information to auditors to form an accurate opinion.

US Deficit Explodes: Blowout October Deficit Means 2nd Worst Start To US Fiscal Year On Record
It is only fitting that the twilight days of the Biden admin would exhibit more of the same fakeness that defined not only all of the past four years, but certainly the fakeness of that Kamala Harris presidential campaign which had a billion dollars a month ago and ended up in failure, broke and in debt. We are talking, of course, about the relentless debt-funded spree that somehow became synonymous with economic success in the US.

“On Judy Shelton”
Gold Backed or Bust: Judy Shelton’s Plan to Tame the Fed and Restore the Dollar
Judy Shelton has spent her career advocating for sound money. Her latest book, Good as Gold: How to Unleash the Power of Sound Money, makes an up-to-date case for reinstituting a gold standard. Her intriguing conclusion is that the dollar can be reconnected to gold by simply issuing federal treasury bonds with gold-redeemability clauses. The book also addresses recent events and important current debates about monetary systems like whether central bankers should have wide policy discretion, whether fixed or floating exchange rates are better for economic growth, and what happens when countries manipulate their currency to boost exports.
Bill’s Commentary:
“Paul Tudor Jones is correct, the author in my opinion is smoking some really good HOPIUM! The logic here is this; it cannot happen now because it has never happened before…? And, because the US issues the world’s reserve currency, it can never run out of money. This is absolutely correct, but what the author is missing here is; we can never run out of money, however, that money may be worthless. Treasuries are (were) thought of as risk free from default. The reality is, GOLD/SILVER are the only monies risk free of default. Please read this article with this in mind, the author has everything backwards and forgets that fiat currency on a global basis is a rather new experience that has never been tried worldwide before.”
Paul Tudor Jones: I Won’t Own Fixed Income
Paul Tudor Jones recently voiced concerns that rising U.S. deficits and debt and increasing interest rates could lead to a fiscal crisis. His perspective reflects the long-standing fear that sustained borrowing will trigger inflation, raise interest rates, and eventually overwhelm the government’s ability to manage its debt obligations. In short, his thesis is that interest rates will rise as the Government goes broke. However, a closer look at historical precedent and current fiscal dynamics suggests these concerns are overstated. Contrary to Jones’ warnings, the U.S. economy has structural strengths that make an imminent fiscal collapse unlikely.

The Great ‘Splainin’ Cometh
“Many Democrats were considering how to navigate a dark future, with the party unable to stop Mr. Trump from carrying out a right-wing transformation of American government. Others turned inward, searching for why the nation rejected them. They spoke about misinformation and the struggle to communicate the party’s vision in a diminished news environment inundated with right-wing propaganda” — The New York Times
In July 27, 1794, the non-insane members of the Convention, or national legislative body in Paris, suddenly turned on the rabid Jacobin leader Maximillian Robespierre and overthrew his ruling tyrannical bunch — who had killed 40,000 of their fellow countrymen in the paranoid orgy known as The Reign of Terror. The next day, Robespierre rode the tumbrel to his own appointment with “the national razor” and the Thermidorian Reaction was on!

Equity overload: Federal department keeps 294 DEI staffers on payroll, most with six-figure salaries
The Health and Human Services Department employs 294 people whose jobs focus on diversity, and the department maintains seven “minority health” offices spread across its agencies, according to a report that suggests unwinding it all will be tough for the incoming Trump administration.
The majority of those staffers, 182 workers, are paid six-figure salaries. The top diversity job earner, who works at the Food and Drug Administration, collected $221,000 in 2023, OpenTheBooks said in its report Tuesday.
The watchdog said spending on the diversity, equity and inclusion agenda “permeated” the department, appearing 829 times in its 2025 budget and totaling hundreds of millions of dollars in direct spending.

Bitcoin Up $8k in a Day Means the Dollar Just Went Down-BTC’s Price Discovery Suspect and Derivatives Collateralized with Dubious Crypto Leveraged Up to 125 Times–No Way This ends Well
Bitcoin (BTC) is up over $8,000 in the last 24 hours. Let that sink in for a minute.
Maybe we should be thankful to see such monetary wonderment and opulence taking place during the historic times we are living through.
I’m cynical… I should be and so should you.
