The Widow’s Son by Wayfarer with illustration by Wayfarer Tobey pawned off whatever was left of his inheritance—clothes, shoes, cheap jewelry and twenty years of Reader’s Digest. He sold suitcases for trips never ventured. These were of no benefit while his Mom was alive. Life insurance paid a pittance of her funeral bill. All the cash he mustered amounted to the sum of $ 21,699.25. The sum total cops wanted for a rotting, rusting Panhead, once Tobey’s father’s ride. Mom sold it to make ends meet when Dad died in a work accident. A means to beginning Tobey’s new life of freedom from familial obligations. He sought the rehaul, the ride and the open road. His Harley represented a magnificent metamorphosis.

Top Economic Strategist Albert Edwards is sounding the alarm, warning that we are on the brink of a 1987-style stock market crash. Edwards says that the events that led to Black Monday are unfolding right before our eyes. “The equity market’s current resilience in the face of rising bond yields reminds me very much of events in 1987, when equity investors’ bullishness was eventually squashed,” Edwards said in a note on Tuesday. “Just like in 1987, any hint of recession now would surely be a devastating blow to equities.” 3 charts we are watching: 1987 – Albert Edwards says that just like in 1987, any hint of a recession now would surely be a devastating blow to equities…https://t.co/aJEiHJPQAt pic.twitter.com/BfHzcuMnRF — The Market Ear (@themarketear) October 4, 2023 Source: https://www.zerohedge.com/the-market-ear/3-charts-we-are-watching-1987 In other words, once the “recession” domino falls, everything else is going to follow. (FREE GUIDE: Protect yourself NOW from the imminent crash) “Never in my career have I witnessed such uncertainty about where we are in the economic cycle. Is that long promised recession still lurking around the corner or are we at the start of a new economic cycle,” Edwards wrote. Elsewhere, the trouble is already brewing… Not only is the labor market is weakening, but US consumers have depleted their excess savings from the pandemic. In fact, we just warned you about it earlier this week: A Top 4 Bank JUST Freaked Out — “Major WARNING” Raymond James noted that this could mean the economy is approaching an inflection point as soon as this quarter. The New York Fed has already priced in a 61% possibility that the US will tip into recession by August 2024. How Can The Common American Stay Safe From The Crash?

Cash Hoard PERFECTLY PREDICTS Stock Market Crash? This is really interesting.... We all know the "Oracle of Omaha" is a rare unicorn in the investing world. Perhaps originally a man who outsmarted Wall Street, he is also famous (or infamous) for getting sweetheart deals during the 2008 Stock Market Crash. Remember that? He coughed up a few billion to bail out some "too big to fail banks" and in return basically received a guarantee of his "investment" from the Federal Government. If you or I had done that, they might just call it insider trading, but for Uncle Warren it was deemed "patriotic". But that's not the main focus of this article. The main focus is something I'm now calling the "Warren Buffett Indicator". This short video below explains it in video format, but basically as Warren Buffett's cash hoard grows, it almost always seems to top out right before a huge stock market crash hits.... And guess who's there to scoop up all the great assets for pennies on the dollar? Uncle Warren. Look, I'm not suggesting he's doing anything wrong, not at all. Perhaps he's just really, really smart and really, really patient and disciplined. More power to him. But the indicator appears to be dead on. Take a look: WARREN BUFFET’S CASH POSITION OVER TIME ONE THING THAT STANDS OUT IS RIGHT BEFORE A STOCK MARKET CRASH HIS CASH POSITION BALLOONS LOOK AT 1999 , 2007 AND 2019pic.twitter.com/a0Zk0ZEJrZ — GURGAVIN (@gurgavin) November 9, 2023 The scariest part is right at the end.... Look at this: When people keep telling you the next crash is going to be much worse than the 2008 crash (which for most of us was by far the biggest of our lifetimes), this is what they mean... Look how his cash hoard dwarfs 2008. The size and scope of what is coming is going to dwarf anything you've seen before. It has to, the amount of money printed since then is astronomical. It's what Bo Polny told my on my show earlier this week.... Look at this chart and the chart above and tell me if they don't look extremely similar: It's all connected to 1971 when they removed us from the Gold Standard..... And the years that followed when they printed magic money to infinity and the money machine went BRRRRRRRRR on overdrive! You know how growing up your parents would say money doesn't grow on trees? To these people it does! It grows on printers, they just turn on the printer and out spits new money.....as much as they want! Now it's just extra zeroes in a computer program, but it used to be actual printing of greenbacks. Same difference. Speaking of, have you seen this? Do you know what happens if we suddenly shocked the world and went BACK to a Gold Standard? This: “Gold Revaluation” Incoming? Price Could Be $10,000-60,000 Per Ounce! Make sure you read that. Bookmark it, print it out, save it and study it, because it could be life-changing very soon. Or life "saving". Speaking of gold, have you seen this? HEADS UP: Gold Is Now Classified As A Tier 1 “RISK FREE” Asset! Ok, Bo's links above will get you all set for crypto! You're in good hands there. But what about Gold and Silver? If you want Gold and Silver, I have you covered there too. Keep reading for the hookup...including for a way to get GOLD without paying anything out of pocket!  Yes, really! But first, here's the most important part you have to understand -- make sure you get PHYSICAL gold and silver. Not paper traded garbage on the stock exchanges that isn't backed by anything. Don't touch that stuff. I have two special hook-ups for you. Both involve PHYSICAL gold and silver. Because if you do NOTHING else, make sure you own "physical" gold and silver, not paper contracts. The paper contracts (like stock ticker SLV and GLD) could very well go POOF one day and disappear or go to zero, because they're not actually backed by the gold and silver they claim to represent. It's a massive game of musical chairs out there and when the music stops (and I think it will stop soon...) people who only own paper might find themselves owning something not worth the paper it's literally written on. Now...WHERE do you get physical gold and silver and how do you know it's real and safe? And that you're getting the best price? Oh, and how about personal one-on-one real customer service? You know, like you were some Big Wig millionaire at Goldman Sachs who could just call their personal banker and get help? That's what I'm about to tell you.   I have two killer connections for you... The first is for purchasing gold and silver bullion. That means bulk bars. That's the cheapest and most economical way to do it, to stretch your dollar into as much gold and silver as possible. The website is called WLT Precious Metals and when you see my logo in the top left-hand corner, you'll know you're in the right place. You'll get a personal phone call with Ira Bershatsky (or someone on his team) and they will work with you free of charge for as long as needed to answer any questions you have and get you taken care of. How about that! You don't see that much anymore, but Ira and his team pride themselves on good old-fashioned real customers service: No sales pitch, just real, actual help. And the best prices you will find. Here's the only disclaimer I will give you: because they do pride themselves on dedicated service, it might take a few days before you get a phone call back.  Just be patient. Good things come to those who wait! You can contact Ira and WLT Precious Metals here. Ok, that was #1. Now I want to tell you about option #2. An equally great company, I am so happy to be working with these guys. This next company is called Genesis Gold and this is for people who want to purchase real physical gold or silver in their IRAs (Investment Retirement Accounts). You know what the beauty of that is? TAX FREE baby! I'm not a tax advisor, but that's a general oversimplification. Never pay more taxes than you are legally required to pay. And that's why I love getting gold and silver in my IRA (and why I hold a large chunk in an IRA myself!). There's so much to love about Genesis Gold, starting with the fact they are proudly and un-ashamedly Christina! They call it "Faith-Driven Stewardship" and they put it right on the homepage of their website along with a quote from Ezekiel: Wealth Preservation With Gold & Silver – The Genesis Gold IRA By your wisdom and your understanding you have made wealth for yourself, and have gathered Gold and Silver into your treasuries – EZEKIEL 28:4 Genesis Gold Group believes the Bible gives clues on how man-made currencies (paper money) represent instability, and a lack of virtue and encourages living wastefully in excess. Conflicts have beleaguered us since the dawn of civilization, and they can all be encapsulated into one battle. The battle is between currency, man-made paper, and gold and silver — the two precious metals found in our Earth’s crust, sent to us by our Lord to use as money. Man-made currency always leads nations down the path to increased war, greed, and ultimate collapse. History has shown that abandoning gold and silver has always been a bad idea. Gold and Silver enforce discipline, nurture self-constraint, self-reliance, and balance, and lead to confidence, a restrained government, and a more stable foreign policy. Genesis Gold Group believes in empowering faith-driven stewardship with Gold & Silver are an integral part of a balanced portfolio. Protecting your finances with precious metals has never been more crucial during these trying times. With a combined 50-plus years in the precious metals industry, let your Genesis gold and silver experts guide you through the simplicity of asset protection and growth with our Genesis Gold IRA. Sincerely, Genesis Gold Group Empowering Faith-Driven Stewardship Oh....and they're VERY good at what they do. You also get physical gold and silver with Genesis, believe it or not!  The gold and silver is purchased for you (in whatever combination of coins and bars you prefer, a picture taken and sent to you, and then stored safely in a vault for you! I love what these guys are doing. Here's more on why gold and silver in your IRA are so powerful: You can contact Genesis Gold here. They are also very backed up with record demand, so you may have to wait a bit, but someone WILL get in touch with you for personal customer service and assistance! Tell 'em Noah sent ya! Oh, and did you know Genesis is recommended by SUPERMAN himself? It's true. Superman himself, Clark Kent -- Dean Cain -- came on my show a few weeks ago and we broke it all down: Watch here: Stay safe! Make sure you can weather the storm when it hits! Because the storm always hits eventually, doesn't it? As for me and my house, we will be ready. ?

I was absolutely fascinated by the Dr. Phil interview of President Trump today. In many ways, I think it was a sea change moment… For quite a while, the Deep State’s war on President Trump tainted him. It made middle-of-the-road people not want to be associated with him. Social media would ban you if you interviewed him… The rest of the media would ostracize you if you spoke with him or spoke well of him…. So he was often on an island by himself. Oh sure he had you and me and 81 million voters on that island with him, but he was persona-non-grata to the Legacy Media and “celebrities”. But that all changed recently with the Guilty Verdict. I believe many people finally woke up and realized that is a bridge too far. I believe people with some degree of money and power and fame and influence (but lesser levels of those things than President Trump) finally woke up and realized “if they can do this to him, what stops them from doing it to me next?” So now the stigma of speaking to Trump or speaking well of Trump has almost entirely been erased. Now even people like Dr. Phil are proudly sitting down to interview him, and I think that is a huge watershed moment.  We need it.  We need a lot more of it in the next 4 months. But there was one moment I wanted to show you at the end of the interview. Actually, the interview has wrapped but the cameras are still rolling and President Trump and Dr. Phil are chatting a bit more informally and Dr. Phil asks “Do you think he will run?” speaking of Joe Biden. And President Trump says no. It was a stunning moment…. Take a look: I’ve watched the whole Trump interview by Dr. Phil. We’ll breakdown some parts tonight on Eye of the Storm. One of the most interesting parts is when the interview is over and they are rolling the credits. Dr. Phil asks “Do you think Biden will run”DJT says “I’ve been… pic.twitter.com/YQN4jGbKwH — True Stormy Joe (@truestormyjoe) June 7, 2024 Understand what a wild statement that is…. We are 4-5 months away from the election. To the best of my knowledge that has NEVER happened before in the history of our country. The closest example is a VP swap occurring back in 1972 when the Democratic Party’s original vice-presidential nominee, Senator Thomas Eagleton, was replaced on the ticket. Eagleton had been chosen as George McGovern’s running mate, but after it was revealed that he had undergone electroshock therapy for depression, he was pressured to withdraw from the race. This happened in late July, just a few months before the November election. Eagleton was replaced by Sargent Shriver, former Ambassador to France and a prominent figure in the Kennedy family. So will it happen this year in 2024? I have said all along I don’t think Joe makes it to November, but before now I have never heard President Trump say the same thing. Wow! In fact, we’ve written about it here before warning you all what we expected will happen: RUMORS: Biden To Withdraw, Nominate Michelle Obama — Here’s When Are the Democrats actually betting on Biden beating Trump this November? Or, do they already have a scheme in place to replace him with someone they think has a better chance? For a long time now, there have been rumors that Michelle Obama may replace Biden in the upcoming election. As we’ve reported in the past: Is Michelle Obama Angling to Replace Biden For 2024? Report: Michelle Obama’s Secret Plot to Replace Joe Biden EXPOSED But now, a German news outlet has a date in mind for when this could happen: in August at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. According to a report from Der Spiegel, there are rumors among Democrats that Joe Biden is planning on making a"grand gesture" and stepping down at the convention to instead endorse Michelle Obama. The outlet notes that the Democrat party has already been including Michelle Obama in some polls of potential election candidates. Take a look at the breaking new report: There are rumors among US Democrats that at the convention in August 2024, Biden will “make a grand gesture” and withdraw his candidacy from the presidential election.

Democrats have now even included Michelle in their… pic.twitter.com/oIGFW7deav — Jürgen Nauditt (@jurgen_nauditt) May 6, 2024 The New Voice of Ukraine on Yahoo has more details on the rumors: This summer, President Joe Biden may consider stepping out of the presidential race in favor of endorsing Michelle Obama, former First Lady and wife of ex-President Barack Obama, according to a report by Der Spiegel on May 5. The U.S. Democratic Party is considering the possibility that Biden may announce his decision in August 2024 at a party convention in Chicago. Der Spiegel states that Michelle Obama has been added to the roster of potential candidates, with public opinion polls currently being conducted to gauge her viability. "The idea of a female president inspires many Americans," Der Spiegel notes. It's important to note that this is all just speculation, from a German source. So, take from that what you will. But, it is notable that the Obamas are already on the list to appear at the DNC this August. The Washington Examiner reported: Former President Barack Obama will serve as an Illinois delegate at the Democratic National Convention this summer, possibly upstaging his former running mate, President Joe Biden. Illinois Democrats announced their full list of delegates Monday evening. Obama marks just one of 51 party leaders and elected officials serving as either automatic or at-large delegates, on top of the 96 district delegates. The Illinois delegation totals 147. Obama has weighed in on some political issues since leaving office in 2017, but like most former presidents, he largely has avoided attempting to steer the party toward any successors. He notably did not endorse Biden during the 2020 Democratic primary until it was clear his former vice president would be the nominee in that election. Meanwhile, popular former first lady Michelle Obama has long been rumored in GOP circles as replacing Biden as the 2024 nominee, which Democratic strategists dismiss as a "ginned-up" conspiracy. Still, Democratic insiders have indicated to the Washington Examiner that they expect Obama to hit the 2024 campaign trail hard for Biden starting this summer, and the campaign is welcoming his efforts to boost Biden's reelection push. Campaign officials added that Obama has indicated a willingness to do "whatever the campaign asks" once he ramps up his on-the-ground appearances. Still, Michelle Obama's "office" has publicly stated she does not "intend" to run for president: Michelle Obama’s “Office” Finally Addresses Her Run In 2024 But, I'm not so sure... What do you think? Do you believe these rumors? Will we really see Biden replaced by Big Mike just two months before the election? Let us know your thoughts... NATIONAL POLL: Would You Vote For Michelle Obama For President in 2024?

I’ve written a bunch today about the Dr. Phil interview of President Trump. I’ve listened to the whole thing and then re-listened to several clips. I’ve found it absolutely fascinating on many levels and I’ve given it high praise in many regards, calling it a watershed moment. I explain why in these two articles if you want to take a look: BREAKING: President Trump Does Not Believe Joe Biden Will Be On The Ballot President Trump Makes Dr. Phil Crack Up….Couldn’t Keep a Straight Face! But there was one moment I thought was a real low spot for Dr. Phil and it was sad to see. It was just like what Sean Hannity did a few nights ago. It makes me wonder if someone is putting these guys up to pushing this narrative because it almost feels coordinated. But maybe that's just my tin foil hat.... In any event, Dr. Phil did exactly what Hannity did, pressing Donald Trump to commit to not seek revenge on the people who have gone after him. Watch this clip and then I'll give you my take below which differs DRASTICALLY from Dr. Phil's take: Dr. Phil spent several minutes trying to convince Trump not to take revenge, and for the most part, Trump played along.. Until he let this slip with a smile… “Well, revenge does take time. I will say that… and sometimes revenge can be justified.” Oh yeah, he’s gonna destroy… pic.twitter.com/248qtkzOU1 — MJTruthUltra (@MJTruthUltra) June 7, 2024 Ok, now with all due respect to Dr. Phil and Hannity and anyone else pushing this narrative, I have to say I vehemently disagree.... And I think reading between the lines of President Trump's answer I think he and I are in sync on this. President Trump has to parse his words very carefully right now because there are some Americans without the spine for what needs to be done. The "Kum ba yah" people.... The same people who think if we'd just be NICER to the terrorists then they will be nice back to us! A few of those hippies have gone so far as to travel over to the Middle East and test out that theory and they did not live to tell about it. There's a reason why it's common wisdom to say you "do not negotiate with terrorists"....foreign or domestic. And right now we're chalked full of a lot of domestic terrorists in positions of power.  People who hate America.  People who abuse those positions of power for their own benefit. America is sick.... America has a deadly virus and you either cut the virus out (legally of course) or you die from parasitic rot. So I'm sorry Dr. Phil but we're well past the point of just joining hands and singing Kum Ba Yah and saying "can't we all just get along?" So naive. But I have to give President Trump credit...he's played this perfectly. What Dr. Phil and Hannity seem to so easily forget is President Trump already tried it there way. That was called 2016. He had the chance to LOCK UP Hillary Clinton after he won...it would have been a fairly easy case. But he chose not to. He chose the higher ground. He opted for unity. With the benefit of hindsight, we now know how they repaid him for that.... 8 years of the Russia Collusion hoax.... 2 impeachments... 4 scam trials... 1 Guilty conviction.... 34 counts for one made-up non-crime.... And I could go on and on. So I'm sorry Dr. Phil....President Trump already tried that method. It did not work. Often times, the only thing a bully or a terrorist will respect is punching them in the mouth. The good news is President Trump understands this. You can see it in his answer back, which was so expertly done. But let's make one other thing clear too.... I do not believe anyone in MAGA wants to "go after" anyone who did nothing wrong.....we simply want the two-tiered justice system removed. We want equal justice for all.... Equal application of the law. We don't want made up crimes fabricated and fake trials pushed like they are doing to Trump. But where the evidence is clear and the law so obviously broken, we want justice. We no longer want justice ignored for some misplaced sense of "unity" or "decorum". Sorry, that's unicorn and fairy tales land. We live in reality and we want to finally live in a country where Democrats are not above the law. Curious to know how many of you agree with me.... If you disagree, drop a comment below and let me know why. RELATED REPORT: President Trump Prepping The Public For The Arrest of Hillary Clinton Is President Trump prepping the general public for the upcoming arrest of Hillary Clinton?  And others? Liz Crokin and many others say yes. In fact, President Trump himself is the one saying "yes". Allow me to show you.... It all comes from his latest interviews, one with Greg Kelly and one with Sean Hannity. President Trump has previously said when asked about getting retribution on all of his enemies that, quote: "our ultimate retribution is success". But after the Guilty Conviction came down last week, he's been asked if his opinion has changed and it seems it has. And I can't fault him for it one bit.

The damage he has done to American finance infrastructure with his illogical war on crypto is horrible. He set us back at least 4 years, but perhaps that was simply the plan all along? The plan for Elizabeth Warren, Gary Gensler and Joe Biden to protect their buddies in the banking world and "TradFi" (Traditional Finance) to give them time to catch up? But back to Trump.... Let's be very clear about what he's saying here. He's saying that he had a very clear path (and evidence) to lock up Hillary Clinton when he took office in 2016 and he choose not to do it. He thought it would be a very terrible thing to lock up the wife of a former President, even if she was guilty as sin. So he chose restraint, even in the face of what would have been fair justice. And I think Hillary is but one example of dozens!  Hundreds even. So despite all the fear mongering and hand wringing about Donald Trump being a dictator and the "New Hitler" if he got into office, his first four years prove the exact opposite. But what do Biden's four years tell us? A completely weaponized Administration. A DOJ weaponized against Donald Trump, creating crimes where none exist -- even writing and rewriting new laws in desperate attempts to try and "Get Trump". An IRS weaponized against the American people.... An SEC weaponized against American crypto holders... And unlawfulness and Unconstitutional moves at every turn. So now President Trump is asked what will he do? Turn the other cheek (again)? Let them off the hook (again)? How can he do that? Why would he do that? Why would anyone want that? Let me make it very simple and clear here what my position is and what I believe President Trump is saying in these clips:  He is not going to illegally or unlawfully or Unconstitutionally go after anyone.  He is simply going to apply the law and justice equally and fairly.  No more two tiers of justice.  He is not going to find crimes where none exist, but he's no longer going to look the other way out of some sort of ill-placed allegiance to "decorum" because that ship sailed under the Biden Regime.  The Biden Regime opened that door, not Trump.  And Hannity can wring his hands all he wants and try to get Trump to say he won't walk through that door, but I don't think that's what anyone in MAGA wants.  And I think Hannity just exposed himself once again. Love to know what you think.... RELATED REPORT (from before the Guilty Conviction): President Trump Explains How He'll Get The "Ultimate Retribution" President Trump, during his Fox News Town Hall, shared his plan for “ultimate retribution”. During his Town Hall, Trump shared “We are run by fools. We’re run by stupid people. But we ran it very smart for four years and we won everything. We won everything.” This led to Fox News host Brett Baierto asking, “You get questions about what a second term’s going to look like when you’re in your rallies. You spend a lot of time talking about retribution, and so there are questions about how much a second term of a Donald Trump presidency, a second term, would be about retribution and looking backward in grievances and how much would be looking forward?” Trump responded, “Well, first of all, a lot of people would say that that’s not so bad. Look what they did. Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, the FBI Twitter hoax, the 51 intelligence agents hoax. All of these different hoaxes that they did. I mean, a lot of people would say, that’s probably quite normal.” He concluded, “I’m not going to have time for retribution,” he continued. “We’re going to make this country so successful. Again, I’m not going to have time for retribution. And remember this, our ultimate retribution is success.” Watch Trump here: TRUMP:“Our ultimate retribution is success” pic.twitter.com/jL8amTXEsc — ALX (@alx) January 11, 2024 Per ABC: Donald Trump has made the idea of "retribution" a centerpiece of his 2024 campaign for the White House, telling supporters at rally after rally he would use the full force of the presidency to go after his perceived political enemies.
