Former CNN employee and self-proclaimed "journalist" Chris Cillizza is trying to make amends for his coverage -- or lack thereof -- of President Joe Biden's cognitive decline. On Thursday, Cillizza posted a video to his YouTube channel where he apologized for his failures in reporting on the Biden Administration. "I...

I have been warning everyone to “Get your money out of the banks” for a while now… And for good reason. We’ll get deep into it in just a moment, but first here’s just a glimpse of why…because you might have missed it but recently Bank of America has been offline and showing users $0 balances — if you could even log in in the first place. Completely no access to your money: Massive Outage Hits Bank of America, Accounts Showing ZERO $$ Balance It's why I keep warning you: do not trust these banks with the bulk of your money! Sure, keep some on hand, but only small amounts. That's what I'm doing! I'm going to give you one big disclaimer upfront: I am not a financial advisor and I can't give you personalized financial advice.  We square on that?  Ok good. But I am a reporter and what I see happening with the banking system scares me a lot. The first thing that scares me about keeping dollars in a bank account is how they lose value year over year. You know that right? Think you're being smart and "saving up"? You're literally losing money every year to inflation. This perfectly sums it up: This. pic.twitter.com/rvvuoYvE8i — Declaration of Memes (@LibertyCappy) July 29, 2024 Yes, if you simply left $1 million in cash in the bank since 1913, do you know what it would be worth? $40,000. Your $1 million from 1913 would have the purchasing power in 2024 of $40,000. Ouch! But that's not even what scares me the most.... What scares me is another round of bank closures like we had last year. Remember this from just a few months ago in China? BREAKING: 40 Chinese Banks Just Crashed and Vanished — “Worse Than 1980 S&L Crisis!” Yes, that's real. And yes, I believe it comes here next. But even if your bank is open, can you get the money out? Have you ever tried? Sure you have to leave some money in there, but you don't want big amounts of money sitting in bank accounts. Because you might never be able to get it out! Go ahead, test me out on this...even right now in good times (before a full-blown banking crisis hits America) go to your bank right now and try and withdraw $10,000.  They will look at you with panicked looks on their face.  I guarantee it.  Then they'll go get their supervisor.  The supervisor will come over and tell you they can't do that today.  Come back in 2-3 days.  And then they'll start the interrogation.  "What do you need this money for?"  "Where is this money going?"  Only after you answer all their questions, wait 2-3 days, fill out a bunch of paperwork, only then will you MAYBE be allowed to take YOUR money out of YOUR account. I guarantee that's how it will go for you.... Test me out! Go try it and report back below in the comments. So now the big question: Ok, what can YOU do about it?   How do you prepare? How do you make sure you and your family are not at risk when the banking crisis hits America (which I believe it will, very soon). The answer is you do exactly what I've been preaching about for over a year now....get your money OUT of the banks!  (Not personalized financial advice, just common sense from where I sit).  That's Step #1. Hold firm, be determined, play their stupid games, and get your money out of the banks! Because while YOU view it as your money in your bank account, that's not how the bank views it.  The bank views it as their money.  And the dirty little secret is they LENT OUT your money to other people already.  Sometimes 9-10 times over!  It's true, I'll do a separate report soon on that explaining "fractional reserve banking". But Step #2 is the most critical....you don't want to just get your money out of the banks, you want to get it out of the US Dollar. The most basic and traditional financial wisdom has always viewed Precious Metals (Gold and Silver) as the safest places to have your money when a crisis hits. So while I can't give you personalized financial advice, I can tell you a couple things: (1) the Big Central Banks have all been buying Gold and Silver hand over fist for the last couple years.  Gee, I wonder why?  And (2) Gold and Silver have stood the test of time back to the Bible times as being the best store of wealth to weather out a storm in the economy.  Period. And now Step #3 is where I'm going to make sure I don't leave you hanging. I have two killer connections for you... Two companies that I trust for getting the best deals on Gold and Silver.  PHYSICAL Gold and Silver, the real stuff.  Not some phony symbol traded on some stock exchange that may or may not have actual Gold and Silver backing it up.  You want the real stuff. And because I love the free market and competition, I have two great companies to recommend to you.  You can talk to both, see who you like better, and then take action! The first is WLT Precious Metals ran by my friend Ira Bershatsky. I have personally sent family members to Ira for 5-figure purchases of Gold and Silver and he treated them like royalty.  They were very pleased. That's how much I trust Ira. I didn't tell him I was sending them over either (and these particular family members have a different last name) so I did it as a bit of a "secret shopper" test and Ira passed with flying colors. Of course I knew he would. That's why I work with him and that's why I have confidence telling you about him. Ira can handle bulk purchases of bullion, coins, whatever you want. All custom ordered and shipped right to your door. A lot of people love Bullion because its 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. Ira can also help you if you want to purchase Gold and Silver in your IRA. I mean, his name is Ira, after all, OF COURSE he can help you purchase in your IRA account. The thing I love about purchasing in your IRA account is you can do it with no money out of pocket.  You just take money already in the IRA account, perhaps in stocks or bonds or other investments, and you can shift it into Gold and Silver. Again, I'm not your personalized financial advisor, I'm just explaining how it works. And it's REALLY cool. So even if you're saying times are tough right now, I don't have a lot of spare money to shift into Gold and Silver, you might have a golden opportunity (pun intended!) already sitting there in an established retirement account. Ok, that was option #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 also for people who want to purchase real physical gold or silver in their IRAs (Investment Retirement Accounts). In addition to "no money out of pocket", do 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 and we broke it all down: Watch here: Stay safe! Be ready. Be prepared. Before you go, I have one more thing to show you.... This actually just came out and it's super cool. In addition to bullion, coins or even Gold and Silver in your IRA, this has a very specific purpose and it might be worth having some on hand: Buy It -- Break It -- Trade It -- New Silver "Invention" Has Never Been Done Before! A new physical precious metals product launched that immediately caused a stir in the gold and silver industry. "Prepper Bar" is a utility bar that is perforated to allow owners the ability to break off pieces ranging from 1.5 grams up to 7.7 grams. They fit nicely in one's wallet so they can be carried around constantly. "People have been asking me how we came up with the idea and I have to tell them that I can't take credit," said Jonathan Rose, CEO at Prepper Bar. "Over the years, our customers have been asking for something tradeable, portable, and spendable so we made Prepper Bar as the perfect accommodation." These 62 gram bars are flat and come in either silver or gold. The Silver Prepper Bar is available for immediate shipment while the Gold Prepper Bar will be available by the end of June. We asked Rose what makes these bars so different from regular bars or coins. "Gold and silver are great for holding wealth but you'd need a pretty sturdy hacksaw to shave off incremental chunks for sale or barter," he said. "Prepper Bars are strong but they can be easily broken along the perforations so if we find ourselves in a pinch, we can break off the right amount, no problem." Check out the new Prepper Bars today! How cool is this?

A Pennsylvania woman faces charges of attempting to fraudulently register multiple people, including deceased individuals, in the 2024 presidential election. “Jennifer Hill, 38, of Collingdale, Pennsylvania, was arrested on Thursday, Dec. 19, and charged with forgery, tampering with public record/information, applying for registration knowing individual is not entitled to registration, and other related offenses,” NBC10 Philadelphia reports. “Pennsylvania authorities announced on Friday that Jennifer Hill of Collingdale, PA has been arrested and charged with voter registration fraud. Hill is accused of attempting to fraudulently register multiple individuals, including deceased persons, using the state’s voter registration app. Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer revealed that Hill used slight variations of the same names, including a person who died in her home in 2011, as well as her deceased father and grandmother. One fraudulent registration was successful,” Kyle Becker wrote. “Hill worked as a canvasser for the New Pennsylvania Project, a voting rights group founded by Democrats in 2021, and registered 181 voters between April and September 2024. Investigators flagged discrepancies in her registrations, leading to the charges. Hill faces counts including forgery, tampering with public records, and knowingly registering ineligible individuals. Further investigation is ongoing,” he added.

That fictitious person did not vote in the 2024 election. But that shows you how we still have gaps in our system that we need to have the legislature address.” Hill was taken into custody and arraigned on Thursday, Dec. 19. She is being held in the Delaware County Prison after failing to post bail. Online court records don’t list legal representation who could speak on her behalf. While Hill is in custody, Stollsteimer said the investigation is not over and they’re still looking into the names she tried to register.

So, here they are, our Top 10 Vintage Rock Studio Albums, in no particular order because each stands out on their own. There were a lot of stellar releases in 2024, so we’d also like to acknowledge excellent new albums from Judas Priest, Blue Öyster Cult, Joe Deninzon, and Little Feat. This is their honorable mention. One other thing we wish to acknowledge is the absence of any female artists on our list. This was not intentional. We can’t exactly pinpoint why, though we can’t recall anyone coming across our radar. Little doubt that if we’d taken a deep enough dive, we would have struck gold. Maybe it’s more about the fact that female artists now more than ever before dominate the charts, rules the airwaves, sell the most records, win the top awards, and get millions upon billions of views, streams, and accolades. To call them ‘vintage’ isn’t belittling — it just doesn’t seem fitting. It’s their time, and they deserve all the props they get without us getting in the way. In the meantime, for better or worse, we’re sticking with the tried and true. Such is the beauty of music. Luck And Strange David Gilmour If you look at David Gilmour’s first two post-Pink Floyd solo efforts — 2006’s On An Island and 2016’s Rattle That Lock — there is this sense that the singer and guitarist was trying to create something a little outside of the box — perhaps more contemporary with less static, a bit softer around the edges, totally age-suitable. Of course, there were surges of Floydian familiarity whenever he sang or played one of his epic guitar solos. He’ll never be able to shake that off. So, nearly a decade after his last album, how does one fairly assess a new David Gilmour album in 2024? On first impression, Luck And Strange plays like a welcomed reprieve with a tighter knit of tapestry — from someone who has little left to prove and lots to live up to. Read more > Happiness Bastards The Black Crowes The Black Crowes are back with Happiness Bastards, their collection of all-new, original music for the first time in 15 years. The album features the founders Chris Robinson on vocals and his brother Rich on guitar, along with longtime bassist Sven Pipien. Together with a suitable cache of backing musicians, they serve up 10 piping-hot tracks faithful to that classic Black Crowes vibe and sound. Producer Jay Joyce worked closely with the band to capture their unique brand of spitfire, spirit, and vigor, and it most certainly paid off. Read more > =1 Deep Purple For Deep Purple, The Long Goodbye has changed to We’re Not Going Anywhere. Indeed, it appeared the group was winding down when they announced their fabled Long Goodbye tour in 2017. In recent years, they’d taken an admirable step up with two tremendous albums produced by Bob Ezrin — 2013’s Now What?! and 2017’s inFinite. Then they went into overtime with a third Ezrin-produced release for 2020 called Whoosh! followed a year later by the cheeky covers album, Turning To Crime. For 2024, they came back with =1, their 23rd studio effort and fifth produced by Ezrin, and it’s a whole new coat of paint, with a few nods here and there to the past. Read more > True Jon Anderson & The Band Geeks Since parting ways with Yes in 2008, Jon Anderson has continued to record new music and play live alone or in collaboration with others. No matter how he tries to spin it, be it on his own, or with Vangelis, Roine Stolt, Jean-Luc Ponty, or Rick Wakeman and Trevor Rabin, you can’t help but think how much Yes is Anderson and Anderson is Yes. Every other singer in Yes has had to use his voice as the blueprint. So it’s no wonder True with The Band Geeks has a Yes vibe to it. With Jon Anderson out front, it’s unavoidable. Read more > A Few Good Moments Burton Cummings Surely sitting at the top of the list of Canadian vintage rock royalty sits Burton Cummings, best known as the lead singer and songwriter of The Guess Who. Cummings’ 2024 solo release, A Few Good Moments, is his first new music collection in over a decade. The record finds the musician sounding as good as he did back when he sailed his killer vocals over classics hits “These Eyes,” “No Time,” and “American Woman.” Read more > Stained Glass Venice For their 2024 studio release, Stained Glass, Southern California band Venice have, to paraphrase one of their old song titles, gone “back to the well” to give their fans a heavenly slice of their enriching, harmony-filled sound. If you are a fan of well-crafted songs featuring supreme vocals in the vein of the Eagles, Crosby, Stills and Nash, and others known for their Southern California sound of the early to mid 1970s, along with listener-friendly instrumentation, then this is the band for you. They have released quite a few records since the late 1980s and they seem to get better and more likeable with every release. Read more > V Black Country Communion From the outset, Black Country Communion seemed like a one-off supergroup. The group’s four members were all involved in other projects and would return to those after their 2011 self-titled debut album. Afterall, guitarist and vocalist Joe Bonamassa had (and still has) a thriving solo career, while bassist and vocalist Glenn Hughes, drummer Jason Bonham, and keyboardist Derek Sherinian were each embedded in any number of other musical hijinks. Then they delivered a second album in 2011 and played a handful of shows. After a third release in 2012, it seemed that was it…except five years later, a fourth one dropped. Now in 2024, Black Country Communion apparently still has legs. And their fifth release, called appropriately enough V, delivers big on that verdict. Read more > Closer To My Home Mark Farner The Grand Funk Railroad saga is one of unparalleled highs and lows. In the 1970s, they became one of the biggest bands on the planet. Unfortunately, a short-lived, end-of-the-century reunion between the three principles — Mark Farner, Don Brewer and Mel Schacher — lead to an acrimonious split that has yet to heal. To this day, Brewer and Schacher carry the Grand Funk banner with shows at casinos, county fairs, and the occasional bar mitzvah. And what of Mark Farner, the group’s original lead singer, guitarist, keyboardist, and primary songwriter? While continually playing out on his own, he finally made the commitment to step into the studio to record an album he calls Closer To My Home. Read more > Evolve Phish Anyone who follows Phish with any regularity knows that they tour year-round and make studio albums sporadically. With concert commitments and a smattering of side projects, writing new songs and getting together in the studio to record them isn’t a top priority for Phish. Even so, Evolve — their 16th offering and first studio effort since 2000’s Sigma Oasis — showcases the band’s gift for songwriting and arrangements — all without the unpredictability of extended jams and makeshift nuance. Read more > The Circus And The Nightwhale Steve Hackett When he isn’t thrilling audiences the world over, revisiting Genesis classics, Steve Hackett churns out wildly ambitious solo albums — 30 to be exact. For 2024, he made it a little more personal on the conceptual The Circus And The Nightwhale. Over the course of 13 tracks, Hackett and his magnificent band and guests cover the gamut, creating an adventurous, swashbuckling elixir of sophisticated arrangements marinating in a stew of progressive rock theater.
