His Fraudulency

Joe Biteme, properly styled His Fraudulency, continues to infest the White House, we haven’t heard much from the person who should have been declared the victor, and hopium is still being dispensed even as our military appears to have joined the political establishment in knuckling under to the fraud.

One can hope that all is not as it seems.

I’d love to feast on that crow.

Physics?

Part 1 was last week. I intended to do Part 2 this week, but both of my drafts are an utter mess. I’m going to keep plugging away at it, though, so hopefully next week.

Justice Must Be Done.

The prior election must be acknowledged as fraudulent, and steps must be taken to prosecute the fraudsters and restore integrity to the system.

Nothing else matters at this point. Talking about trying again in 2022 or 2024 is hopeless otherwise. Which is not to say one must never talk about this, but rather that one must account for this in ones planning; if fixing the fraud is not part of the plan, you have no plan.

Lawyer Appeasement Section

OK now for the fine print.

This is the WQTH Daily Thread. You know the drill. There’s no Poltical correctness, but civility is a requirement. There are Important Guidelines,  here, with an addendum on 20191110.

We have a new board – called The U Tree – where people can take each other to the woodshed without fear of censorship or moderation.

And remember Wheatie’s Rules:

1. No food fights
2. No running with scissors.
3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
4. Zeroth rule of gun safety: Don’t let the government get your guns.
5. Rule one of gun safety: The gun is always loaded.
5a. If you actually want the gun to be loaded, like because you’re checking out a bump in the night, then it’s empty.
6. Rule two of gun safety: Never point the gun at anything you’re not willing to destroy.
7. Rule three: Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire.
8. Rule the fourth: Be sure of your target and what is behind it.

(Hmm a few extras seem to have crept in.)

(Paper) Spot Prices

Last week:

Gold $1778.20
Silver $26.07
Platinum $1236.00
Palladium $2914.00
Rhodium $28,000.00

This week, 3PM Mountain Time, markets have closed for the weekend.

Gold $1768.60
Silver $25.97
Platinum $1205.00
Palladium $2996.00
Rhodium $29,000.00

(Be advised that if you want to go buy some gold, you will have to pay at least $200 over these spot prices. They represent “paper” gold, not “physical” gold, a lump you can hold in your hand. Incidentally, if you do have a lump of some size, doesn’t it give you a nice warm feeling to heft it?)

Of these, palladium continues its steady climb. In fact, on Thursday it had closed at $3012, above three thousand dollars for at least the second time in the last week.

I did, long, long ago, buy some palladium, not a huge amount. (But I can drop it on my foot. I won’t hurt if I do so, because, like I said, not a huge amount.) I even told the guy I was buying it because it had gone over 900 bucks earlier (which at the time was higher than gold had ever been), maybe it would do so again. He scoffed, and explained that was due to a temporary supply interruption from Russia, unlikely to ever happen again. But now, it’s worth well over ten times what I paid for it. In fairness, I had to hold onto it for over 20 years for it to finally do what I wanted it to do, so this isn’t the short of thing that is a “short term” play.

I knew someone who, about the same time, wanted to find a way to get into rhodium, but back then there was no such thing as a rhodium one ounce bar. I don’t know if he managed to find a way to do it, but if he did, he has done very, very well, even if it took a couple of decades for it to finally move.

Obligatory PSAs and Reminders

China is Lower than Whale Shit

Remember Hong Kong!!!

中国是个混蛋 !!!
Zhōngguò shì gè hùndàn !!!
China is asshoe !!!

China is in the White House

Since Wednesday, January 20 at Noon EST, the bought-and-paid for His Fraudulency Joseph Biden has been in the White House. It’s as good as having China in the Oval Office.

Joe Biden is Asshoe

China is in the White House, because Joe Biden is in the White House, and Joe Biden is identically equal to China. China is Asshoe. Therefore, Joe Biden is Asshoe.

But of course the much more important thing to realize:

Joe Biden Didn’t Win

乔*拜登没赢 !!!
Qiáo Bài dēng méi yíng !!!
Joe Biden didn’t win !!!
