Trump's war looks like the world will go into a depression. Demand for silver looks like it'll fall. But there are many other factors. But the US dollar is also collapsing. So if you've got cash and that cash is decreasing in purchasing power, precious metals are still the best deal. Mike Adams expl ... read more
Great ideas and tips. It reminds me of the Amish home I was invited into last week when it was about 25⁰. It was very nice and toasty. As you know, they use their big iron stove to also heat the house. I like the tip to set up a tent to contain the heat. I already replaced the mixture of PVC pipe ... read more
For seniors in retirement, money can feel trickier than it did during working years, even after decades of being responsible.

I remember my sister telling me how a dominant mare "leads" her herd from behind, not from in front.

Dobie spends his 20s in L.A., bouncing between temp jobs, and gets involved with a cult member named Venelia. When that ends badly, he escapes to Kuala Lumpur, where he's swept into the orbit of Riva, a secret-agent-in-training.
Dobie next finds himself in Nashville where he marries a Riva look‑alike. When he and a co-worker turn whistleblower against their employer, they end up in Witness Protection.
Dobie comes out of hiding and returns to his hometown, Louisville. He thinks his luck has turned when he wins the lottery. And it might have, had he not taken that money and run for president. Unsurprisingly, that ends badly, too.
Trying to make sense of the universe, Dobie takes the next logical step, writes a manifesto, and hits the road on a speaking tour. The universe -- or at least its representative in the form of a little blue alien named Semmy -- is not helpful.
While evading Colonel Charonne and his enforcer, Major Watson, Dobie's luck takes a turn for the better upon meeting Kaylie -- the first thing in his universe that actually makes sense.
