The current “everything bubble” that should be making more news has been largely ignored by corporate media. Part of the reason for this is because there has been so much to cover since the unleashing of Covid-19 that “boring” economic news gets pushed aside. But another more nefarious reason can be traced back to the central banks whose members have great influence over what’s reported and what’s ignored. All the while, they’ve been quietly buying up as much gold and silver as possible in preparation for Central Bank Digital Currencies and the eventual bursting of the various economic bubbles. Just look at the trend:  A faith-driven precious metals company, Genesis Gold Group, has been working diligently to get as many Americans ahead of the “retirement bubble” as possible. They are changing the industry in the process, pushing against the questionable tactics of “Big Gold” companies by focusing on customer service and long-term value for their clients. David Holland, a minister and the Director of Philanthropy at Genesis Gold Group, points to the Bible as reason why Americans should protect their life’s savings at such a time as this. “Proverbs 22:3 admonishes us to prepare our families, stating, that a prudent person foresees danger and takes precautions,” he said. “I firmly believe, along with leading my family to walk with Christ, that securing our family’s finances with gold & silver puts us in the best position to fulfill these biblical principles.” Click here to reserve an appointment with Genesis Gold Group. The signs of such dangers are all around us now, but many are missing them because there are so many distractions thrown at us on a daily basis. Job numbers come back positive only to be “corrected” later to reflect a sadder reality. Wages are going up, but inflation is going up faster. Both political sides claim to be protecting Social Security but both also realize the challenges it faces. The bank crisis is ongoing but never makes the news until it’s too late. All the while, central banks keep making moves that telegraph their belief in bad times ahead. “The way central banks are buying up gold has changed the landscape in precious metals,” said Jonathan Rose, co-founder of Genesis Gold Group. “Unfortunately, many in the industry aren’t keeping up with these changes because they’re busy doing business as usual. There’s nothing ‘usual’ about what’s happening in America and across the globe financially.” Genesis Gold Group, which is one of the only precious metals companies in America that unabashedly espouses a Biblical worldview as their namesake implies, has noted net increases in gold supply held by most central banks. They’ve followed the trends with both eastern and western central banks; Turkey’s is the only one based on their current financial troubles that didn’t make moves toward precious metals in May. This influences which precious metals Genesis recommends for the self-directed IRAs they generate for their customers. “Getting the proper mix of coins into our clients’ depositories makes a big difference for their long-term returns,” Rose noted. “We stay aware of everything that’s happening before making moves with our clients. It’s not just about price fluctuations today. It’s about which products are poised to appreciate in the future.” Central banks aren’t the only ones making big moves. Asset managers like BlackRock are delivering unprecedented recommendations to their investors to purchase precious metals, which seems to go against their past preferences for Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) investments. Genesis Gold Group focuses on serving God and their customers. This is why many customers give them a perfect 5 out of 5 score with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Here are some of the things customers have said about them recently: “Genesis Gold Group has been very helpful to me as a first time customer. They were very patient with me and answered every question I had.  “Genesis Gold Group is a wonderful company to do business with. The staff are knowledgeable, courteous, and patient . . . I’ve had many questions before, during, and even after opening my Self Directed IRA and everyone has been very kind and open. Start your Gold IRA with Genesis Gold Group without reservation!” “The staff at Genesis Gold Group has been very friendly and helpful. I was contacted by them when I left my contact details on their website. They weren’t just interested in my business only but me as well. I can tell that they’re for real. My texts are replied within the same day. I had a concern and I got a call within hours. The staff was willing to talk about life, food, prayed for my wife. This is how businesses should be. It takes something special to do so. And most importantly, I am not the investor with a lot of money here, just pocket change and I have never felt like I am an inferior person. Glad I found Genesis Gold Group.” “This company has been a wonderful choice for us and helped greatly when we were buying metals for the first time . . . I absolutely recommend Genesis Gold Group.” “We set out to make a difference in the precious metals industry and to change the lives of our customers for the better,” says co-founder Jonathan Rose. “I’m not sure if we can really change other gold companies but I am certain we’re succeeding in the more important goal of helping Americans secure their life’s savings.” Reserve an appointment with Genesis Gold Group and see how they can help you rollover or transfer your retirement into a self-directed IRA backed by the right physical precious metals today.

They have, and they can’t keep it in stock. Selling out within hours! As you know, I’m a big fan of gold and I’ve been telling you about it here for a while… I was on this before Costco, which is why so many people love and trust our reporting…because we beat the MSM and now we’re beating the big retailers like Costco! By the way, keep reading and I can get you connected with someone who has MUCH BETTER prices than Costco for gold and silver… But first, the news: Costco, $COST, is selling one-ounce gold bars and they are selling out within a few hours, per CNBC. — unusual_whales (@unusual_whales) September 27, 2023 Costco is apparently selling gold bars that consumers are snapping up at a record pace. https://t.co/BVMASNZ4An — Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) September 29, 2023 From Breitbart: Costco is apparently selling gold bars that consumers are snapping up at a record pace. On Wednesday, CNBC described the gold bars as one-ounce gold PAMP Suisse Lady Fortuna Veriscan bars. They were reportedly being sold for approximately $1,900, the outlet said. Costco’s chief financial officer, Richard Galanti, said Tuesday during the company’s quarterly earnings call that the bars were selling fast. “I’ve gotten a couple of calls that people have seen online that we’ve been selling 1 ounce gold bars. Yes, but when we load them on the site, they’re typically gone within a few hours, and we limit two per member,” he commented. When Breitbart News searched the Costco website Thursday morning, the company had listed the gold bars as a “Member Only Item,” and buyers must sign into their accounts to view the price: And from ZeroHedge: Just think about this for a moment: people are buying gold from Costco. This tells us that the average American has grown so weary of our government’s reckless spending and the Fed’s irresponsible monetary policy that they literally want to fill their shopping cart — online or in person — with something they know is real money. From People: The retail giant has recently been selling 1 oz. bars of authentic 24-karat gold from South African mining company Rand Refinery and Swiss precious metal supplier PAMP Suisse on their website for $1,949.99 and $1,979.99, respectively, according to Insider. According to the product details on Costco’s page, Rand Refinery’s gold bars are individually stamped with a unique serial number and arrive in a sealed black assay card, while PAMP Suisse’s gold bars are individually “controlled, registered, and secured” within CertiPAMP packaging with an official Assay Certificate and a digital certificate accessed with a QR Code. Both items are non-refundable, provide air shipping via UPS and currently have a 4.9 out of 5 average rating on the company’s website, with one member writing on Rand Refinery’s gold bar customer rating that it was a “beautiful piece of gold” and “brand new.” It’s an incredible commentary on the average American citizen. Americans are literally choosing to transact U.S. dollars for gold. Now keep reading for our original report and for a place to get gold and silver with better pricing that Costco: Costco To Begin Selling Gold I love it when we beat the big players to the table. We take great pride in our reporting and I love to see when that reporting is confirmed like what just happened here. For the past few months we’ve been telling you that it might be time to look into Gold and Silver. You know, “God’s Money”. Since the beginning of time, that has been the only enduring sound money. So it made sense, especially as they print the U.S. Dollar into oblivion. When you can just print trillions of new Dollars whenever you want, it doesn’t take an economist to realize that soon the Dollars in your pocket have less value. They’re literally “worth less” and in the future may even be entirely “worthless”. But Gold and Silver have always endured. We’ve been telling you over and over and what just happened this week? Now Costco is telling you. In addition to selling you 18 bottles of ketchup and a 32-pack of Mac-and-Cheese, Costco will now be selling GOLD. Simple question, and again it doesn’t take an economist to figure this out: What do you think all that increased Demand is going to do to the price of Gold? Yup. Looks like Costco is joining the gold trade. In time we may see a run for gold bars where lineups out the door at Costco not for groceries but for gold. #gold #costco pic.twitter.com/JGstjxdilL — Mario Stifano (@Mario_Stifano) September 6, 2023 This is a bit technical, but it shows just how well Gold has done recently: While $GOLD prices may be falling, it’s important to remember that gold has held up extremely well considering the rise in real yields on treasuries. Once real yields inevitably fall, gold prices can be expected to soar. pic.twitter.com/3q7TKPIZTi — GOLY ETF Fan | Stocks & Gold (@GOLY_ETF) August 27, 2023 Many are saying the Costco pricing is “not great” on Gold: Costco getting a piece of the action! #Gold Can’t complain about Costco’s service however the premium on their 1 OZ Gold Offer is STEEP! Check the link in the comments to get the best hookup on your Precious Metals! pic.twitter.com/p9bM8hrmzF — Zach Rector (@ZachRector7) September 10, 2023 From The Daily Mail: Bulk-buy retailer Costco starts selling GOLD worth up to £24,500 in its supermarkets – but shoppers are warned to be wary because of violent price fluctuations Bulk-buy specialist Costco is now offering bars of gold for up to £24,500 a time Experts warned people could be getting a poor deal after swings in gold market The price of gold has risen 28 per cent in past 12 months, but it’s a volatile market It’s not an item likely to be on the weekly shopping lists of many households – but one supermarket giant has started selling gold bullion alongside its everyday groceries. Bulk-buy specialist Costco, more normally known for its ‘pile-’em-high, sell-’em-cheap’ philosophy, is now offering bars of the precious metal for up to £24,500 a time. But experts last night warned shoppers they could be getting a poor deal, particularly after violent swings in the gold market this year. While the company’s mark-up on gold is up to seven per cent on the market rate, it is also selling silver bars at a whopping 28 per cent premium. Many investors have been turning to what they see as the security of gold this year, amid huge uncertainties in the world economy caused by Covid-19, international tensions and political discord in America. But while the price of gold has risen by 28 per cent in the past 12 months to almost $1,900 (£1,469) an ounce, it is a volatile market, declining by more than six per cent in the past two months alone. On September 24, Costco’s 100g bar was on sale for £4,939.99, when the market price for that much gold was £4,619.70 – equal to a seven per cent mark-up in store. Now, take this and remember what Andy Schectman just told us…. Have you seen this? Gold and Silver: “No one wants to sell at these make believe prices” I’ve been telling you for a long time now that Gold and Silver are vastly undervalued. I’m not a financial advisor and I can’t tell you what to do, but I can look at historical data and I can easily see that the current price of Gold and Silver makes no sense unless….it’s being manipulated. Now who would want to do that? And the more important question: will it go on forever, or do the manipulators eventually release the stretched rubber band and ride an explosion up? I’ve you’ve been paying attention in life, you know the answer. You know these crooks on Wall Street manipulate things down, then they load their boats, then they manipulate them up into a bubble. Where are we in that process right now for commodities like Gold and Silver? Right exactly where I placed that star up above. = You Are Here The Big Boys are loading their boats. But that’s not just my opinion. I’m a nobody. Listen to Andy Schectman who is an expert on these things and he lays it out PERFECTLY in two minutes. Here’s my rough paraphrase: “A concerted effort by the very powerful to use the suppression of commodities (gold, silver, but also a long list of all other commodities)…these countries are not complaining about suppressed low prices yet because they’re accumulating!  But once it becomes obvious that the availability of these commodities is very scarce and no one wants to sell at these “make believe prices” then the public says “OMG, what have we been missing?”  And maybe that all happens in concert with a breakdown of the banking system, then the public says “give it to me now” and that’s when you’ll see the circuit breakers be put into affect.  But at that point it’s too late.” Oh my! It’s so much better to listen to him explain it in his own words. It’s just 2 minutes long. Watch here (as presented by my friend the Digital Asset Investor): Comex 589 pic.twitter.com/uPzrOGXhZ5 — Digital Asset Investor (@digitalassetbuy) September 11, 2023 But it’s not just Andy either. It’s this latest interview over at SGT Report. Sean does such a great job over there of interviewing people on topics the MSM doesn’t want you to see, and his latest is called “$1,000 Silver — Seriously, Stop Laughing”. There’s actually a lot of history that goes into that quote and this was a great discussion by four very smart individuals. Watch here: I’ve been sounding the alarm for a while now… Have you taken action? As always, there’s one thing I always say and it’s never been proven wrong:  Watch what they DO, not what they SAY. Who is “they”? The same people Andy Schectman was talking about. Big Governments. Central Banks all over the world. Big Business. What are they doing? They are LOADING THEIR BOATS with as much Gold and Silver as they can find and they’re laughing all the way to the bank because they’re buying at what Andy says are “make believe prices”. Are you? After the Great Financial Crash of 2008, I made a decision. From that point forward, I would simply do what the Big Boys were doing. I would simply watch what they’re doing and copy it. Oh, and if they had Jim Cramer telling people the OPPOSITE (i.e. Cramer says Gold is a loser, but the Central Banks are buying with both fists) that was usually the perfect confirmation I needed. So that’s been my strategy since 2008 and it’s worked very well for me. Here’s more…. Here’s Why Banks Are Buying Up All of the Gold I’ve got Jordan Peterson and Peter Schiff in a fascinating conversation about the Value of Gold. And it’s not just some academic debate. This could very soon be one of the most important things in your world when the U.S. Dollar crashes and gets its value cut in half….or worse. These guys know what they’re talking about and this short 8 minute clip is definitely worth your time to watch. I always say this: don’t listen to what the “Elites” tell you….watch what they are DOING. And what are they doing? Stacking gold and silver. As much as they can get their hands on. Look, I hope I’m wrong but I think we’re in for a massive event that is going to destroy bank accounts and destroy the U.S. Dollar. So what happens to YOU when that happens? Watch this and then scroll down for how I can help you stay safe right now…. Watch: For those who can’t listen, here’s the transcript (and then scroll down for what YOU can do right now!  That’s the most important thing!): One of the reasons that people are so arrogant particularly in America that the dollar status is not in jeopardy and so that we can keep on running these huge deficits we can create keep on creating inflation and the world’s got no choice right but to stick with the dollar because are they going to go to the euro are they going to go to the Yen you know the pound I mean they’re winning B I agree all of those currencies also have problems and so do you really want to switch from one flawed fiat currency to another even if those other Fiat currencies may be less flawed than the dollar right do you really want to make that shift I don’t think that that’s what’s going to happen what everybody is missing is that there is an alternative to the dollar that doesn’t involve another fiat currency and that’s gold that is real money everybody forgets that for thousands of years gold was money it was money because it worked now over the course of time uh we had paper currencies that would rise and fall I mean hundreds of years ago they were paper currencies that are now worthless and you don’t even know their names you know they come and go but gold has has stayed you know gold works as money and so I think what these central banks are going to do is as they get out of dollars they will just increase their Holdings of gold gold will be the monetary anchor gold will be the reserve monetary asset just the way it was before the dollar it wasn’t the British pound I mean the British pound was a dominant currency but gold was what everybody owned the British back to pounds do you see any do you see any evidence that some of these alternate currencies are starting to back their currency claims with gold oh yeah you can what’s happening on the central banks are now buying more gold than they’ve bought in in in decades especially a lot of the uh you know the Emerging Market countries not even maybe so much the United States isn’t buying any gold and maybe you know some of the more mature uh countries but a lot of other countries that had predominantly held dollars and then to a lower degree Euros or Yen or pounds these countries are increasingly buying gold that’s why gold is at a record high I mean Gold’s around two thousand dollars an ounce but in terms of just about every other currency on the planet gold has been hitting all-time record highs uh and again that’s not really gold going up that’s all these Fiat currencies going down but what are the reasons that countries would want gold as opposed to the dollar is the US government doesn’t have any control over it you know gold is an asset that’s not also somebody else’s liability and nobody could create it you have to mine it no one country you know has the advantage so you know why would you want to take away uh that that privilege that the United States has and just bestow it on somebody else who is going to abuse it the same way I mean the United States abused that privilege that we had and we we we exported all this inflation to the world we took advantage of the this the position that we were in uh so why would you want to put another nation in in a position to similarly take advantage of the world it’s much better to go back to to honest money and again even when we were on Bretton Woods before you know 1971 and we were on the dollar standard it was because the dollar was backed by gold again if you held dollars you held gold that’s where the saying came from the dollar is as good as gold in fact the legal definition of a dollar is a is a weight of gold that’s what a dollar is dollars are gold the the the paper currency that circulated Federal Reserve notes are not dollars they are notes of the Federal Reserve initially the those Federal Reserve notes were payable in dollars the dollars were the gold that the Federal Reserve notes paid because if you think about what a note is a note is a promise to pay something a Federal Reserve Note is supposed to pay something well what did it pay it paid gold it paid dollars today Federal Reserve notes pay nothing their ious nothing the Federal Reserve is not obligated to give you anything I mean if you have a ten dollar bill okay so people people might object and they and they have that well gold is just another arbitrary standard of value it has some intrinsic worth it’s useful for jewelry it’s useful for certain industrial applications but it’s just another psychologically valuable currency without any intrinsic value and so it shouldn’t be a repository of value in principle that’s any more stable than let’s say a well-managed or even a badly managed fiat currency and so what do you what do you why is it that gold has proved itself let’s say over centuries or Millennia as a storehouse of value what is it about gold intrinsically let’s say that seems to have given it that edge the idea that gold doesn’t have any intrinsic value is just pure nonsense it’s obviously politicians have a vested interest in in trying to diminish gold as a monetary alternative to the Fiat system and even now you have a lot out of cryptocurrency enthusiasts who say the same thing well you know gold has no value because they want to justify something like Bitcoin which also has no value and say well gold worked as money and it has no value so so Bitcoin could work well it’s not true that gold has no value gold is the most valuable the most useful metal on the periodic table gold became money because it was such a valuable commodity but gold has a lot of properties that make it uniquely qualified to be money more so than than other Commodities that’s why gold was so successful over the centuries as money because people preferred to use it as money it wasn’t governments that decided gold is going to be money the people decided that gold was going to be money and once the people decided that gold was going to be money if you were a king you know well you would tax people in Gold because if you wanted to pay your soldiers to protect you your soldiers wanted gold right so it was the money created in the free market and it beat out all other forms of money because gold you know a gold coin uh all they’re all all the same you could melt gold down and you can make it into coins uh it’s fungible it’s portable it’s divisible but the other aspect of goal that is the key you can save gold because if I have an ounce of gold in 100 years in a thousand years it’s exactly the same it doesn’t lose any of its properties and in fact even if I take my gold and I make you know I make a ring out of it or I I use it to make a watch right you can melt this ring down and you get your gold back and it’s exactly the way it was you could do something else with it there’s really no other metal you can keep using it over and over and over again I mean they fill teeth with gold if you find somebody buried in the ground you know you could take their fillings and you know the Gold’s still there you know there treasure ships from the 1400s 1500s they sink if they recover the wreckage the only thing that’s still there is the goal it’s an it looks exactly the way it looked when the sink when the ship sank 500 years ago so from a point of savings because money has to satisfy three primary conditions two of them are a unit of account an immediate exchange but the third one is the store value and that’s important because it’s also makes it possible to do loans that I can borrow money you can lend money and you can be repaid and you know that the money that you’re going to get repaid is going to retain its value and so that’s something that gold that gold does better than than other metals but the value of gold even if I’m not using my gold today as a metal let’s say I have gold stored in a safe and you say well you know you’re not using it for anything that’s true but I’m preserving the future use of that gold somebody in the future is going to need that gold and so I’m storing it right now because you know there are more uses for gold that are discovered all the time because of its very unique properties I’m sure in a hundred years or a thousand years there will be more uses for gold than there are now So, what can YOU do to protect yourself? To protect your family? To stay safe? Simple: you need to get some #Gold or #Silver in your own possession. It’s called “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. And I know you’ll never forget it if I give you this GIF so….Let’s Get Physical: 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.

While most of the media attention has been on the Manhattan trial against Donald Trump, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee is also facing other court battles being waged by foes on the state and federal level. One notable example involves the case regarding Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents, which was brought to trial by special counsel Jack Smith. He has engaged in several tactics that Trump and others believe were clearly motivated by politics, but his latest courtroom antics even received a terse denunciation by the judge overseeing the case. As Newsweek reported: Florida Judge Aileen Cannon had a stern response for Department of Justice (DOJ) special counsel Jack Smith and prosecutors in a filing posted Sunday in former President Donald Trump’s classified documents case. In the filing from the Southern District of Florida’s West Palm Beach Division, Cannon, appointed by Trump in 2020, said she’s “disappointed” that Smith asked her to keep information from the public in order to protect grand jury secrecy and witness safety. She contended that Smith ignored similar concerns at other times during the case. In Sunday’s five-page order, Cannon “granted in part and denied in part” Smith’s two motions related to sealing and redacting defense filings in the trial into whether Trump mishandled classified documents that he took with him to his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, after leaving the White House in January 2021. Cannon states that “nowhere in that explanation is there any basis to conclude that the Special Counsel could not have defended the integrity of his Office while simultaneously preserving the witness-safety and concerns he has repeatedly told the Court, and maintains to this day, are of serious consequence, and which the Court has endeavored with diligence to accommodate in its multiple Orders on sealing/redaction. The Court is disappointed in these developments.” The order continued: “The Court deems it necessary to express concern over the Special Counsel’s treatment of certain sealed materials in this case.” NEW: In a Sunday order related to the posting of unsealed/unredacted Trump motions in classified docs case, Judge Cannon again takes aim at Special Counsel Jack Smith for his selective demands to keep witness, grand jury materials secret. pic.twitter.com/0R8sJ586Na — Julie Kelly (@julie_kelly2) May 19, 2024 Smith’s behavior has drawn extensive criticism via social media: This man clearly views President Trump as a target, as an enemy; and he will stop at nothing to defeat him.

Still, there was disagreement on “whether certain materials” in the Trump motion to suppress “should be redacted on the basis of attorney-client privilege,” the judge said. Rather than rendering a decision on whether attorney-client privilege applies, Cannon kicked the can down the road and okayed redactions in the meantime, having agreed to “accept for now” Trump’s “characterization of the material as privileged pending merits review of the privilege issues raised in the Motion to Suppress[.]” Republican lawmakers recently sounded off on the special counsel in a committee hearing, as this video reveals:

Disgraced former Trump attorney Michael Cohen continues to dig himself into a deeper hole as he faces questioning during the ongoing Manhattan “hush money” trial against the former president. News broke on Monday that Cohen casually made a stunning admission about stealing a large sum of money from his former boss. As the New York Post reported: “You did steal from the Trump Organization based on the expected reimbursement from Red Finch, correct?” Trump lawyer Todd Blanche, his voice rising to a high pitch, asked Cohen. “Yes, sir,” Cohen calmly replied. Trump broke away from his eyes-closed position during this exchange and popped a mint before appearing to pay close attention to Cohen’s testimony. “Have you paid back the Trump Organization for the money you stole from them?” Blanche asked later. “No, sir,” Cohen responded. Some critics of Donald Trump hoped Cohen would provide testimony that would help secure a conviction, but he has instead inflicted further damage to his own tattered reputation. His latest admission sparked a flurry of discussion on social media: Michael Cohen was Alvin Bragg’s STAR WITNESS! He is a convicted liar, and he just testified that he STOLE TENS OF THOUSANDS of dollars from the Trump Organization. This trial is a COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME. pic.twitter.com/GizBFpaVDk — Graham Allen (@GrahamAllen_1) May 20, 2024 Michael Cohen just admitted on the witness stand he stole $30,000 from the Trump organization.

However, in recent days, Cohen has revealed that the notorious miser Trump stiffed the tech company—putting Cohen in the awkward position of having to pull $20,000 out of his own TD Bank account and giving it to Red Finch’s CEO in late 2015 or early 2016. On Monday morning, Cohen described meeting the man at an office and handing him a brown paper bag full of cash—drawing muted laughs from the courtroom given its comically crooked appearance. But as Blanche pressed for details, Cohen acknowledged that he never paid Red Finch the remaining $30,000 bill. And as far as the tech company is concerned, the Trump Organization still owes it that money. Here’s some previous coverage of the damage Cohen has done to the prosecution’s flimsy case against Trump: RELATED REPORT: JUST IN: Michael Cohen’s Testimony Can Be Used Against Him! It just keeps getting better (my perspective) when it comes to Michael Cohen. Now Fox News reports that not only has the case against Donald Trump imploded, but things may now Boomerang and turn on Cohen. From Fox News: ‘CRINGEWORTHY’: Michael Cohen’s testimony can be used against him Watch this: Full transript: The defenses cross-examination of Michael Cohen is back underway let’s bring in trial attorney Mercedes Cen uh Todd blanch is exploring some interesting ground right now and that is secret recordings that Michael Cohen had on his phone according to our Carrie kupek Cohen has testified that he had about a hundred secret recordings on his phone about 40 of them were with journalists one of them was with the former president of the United States we don’t know what the other ones were but I’m not quite sure what he’s getting at here I mean legally speaking if you’re in New York which is a one party consent state but you’re recording somebody who’s in California which is a two-party State the stricter law is the superseding law so potentially there’s a an infringement on the law there but what do you think the bigger picture is here great to be on with you John and Sandra as always it really is about giving the jury the perspective that Michael Cohen is untrustworthy it’s cringeworthy for jurors even though you’re absolutely right if it’s a one- party state there’s no laws that have been broken but it’s cringeworthy for jurors to sit there who are trying to determine his credibility that he has so many recordings in which when it’s a one party State you know you don’t have to disclose it to the participant in the call that you’re actually recording them so it is personally when this comes up in cases that I’ve handled it is something that especially if it’s at the opposing side you can certainly put your arms around it and almost jump up and down and Glee because this is something that can be used against the opposing side Mercedes let me get your reaction to this Cohen um would communicate he said in this courtroom just now with reporters via text signal and other encrypted apps Cohen decided what communication to use depending on the topic that he was discussing with the particular reporter saying if it was a private or unusual conversation I’d go to one of the encrypted apps to John’s point and uh what Carrie was highlighting a moment ago there were a total of 95 total recordings on his phone he’d record Trump and reporters Cohen says he understands that it’s not ethical for a lawyer to record their client but he noted that there is a quote crime fraud exemption rule blanch then said but didn’t you just record Trump to show to pecker not the crime fraud exemption rule Cohen answers saying yes but you asked me if there are any exceptions your response to that Mercedes well those that’s a great Q&A think about the two lawyers that are on that jury they know how inappropriate generally speaking it is to record your clients without them knowing that they’re being recorded that is something that because we’re fiduciaries we have this this hir duty to our clients you don’t generally typically record your client if you believe that your client’s about to commit a crime then of course you can set aside the attorney client privilege then you have to notify the authorities there’s a whole body of law that talks about that but the good thing about that Q&A between Todd blanch and Michael Cohen is that there seems to be an inconsistency and wherever you have an inconsistency with a witness that you are attacking their credibility it has to be highlighted before the jury and that’s exactly what Todd blanch did all right so uh so blanch is trying to paint a picture of a guy here who literally cannot be trusted and then there’s this idea too of has he lied on the stand and there’s a lot of people who believe that Cohen wasn’t truthful when he said that he made the recording of trump to show David pecker uh because why would he need to show that to David pecker some people think it was for his own purposes and then there’s this idea the phone call with the chief of security Keith Schiller which Cohen said was about story Daniels but blanch is now saying or eliciting from Cohen that it was about a 14-year-old Prank Caller does this go to the potential instruction from the judge uh that if the jury believes that Cohen has lied about anything on the stand they can discount the entirety of his testimony there is a perfect jury instruction that I use in every single trial falses Anum falses and Plum basically false in one false in everything if the jury and this will be an instruction we’ll have to see if if the judge allows this instruction but generally speaking it is allowed if the jury believes that Michael Cohen has lied under oath in this during this trial they can discount his entire testimony now that’s obviously that is very Broad and sweeping we’ll have to see what the what the jur what the judge decides about that jury instruction in particular but you see that jury instruction just about all trials lot more to come this afternoon Mercedes thanks so much we’ll be right back hey everyone I’m Emily compono catch me and my co-hosts Harris vulner and Kaye mcki on outnumbered every weekday at 12:00 p.m. Eastern or set your DVR also don’t forget to subscribe to the Fox

you should quit while you’re ahead. I was going to say Alvin Bragg would have been wise to follow that, but then I realized he was never really “ahead” in the first place. This “got Trump” case started off ill-conceived and it has only gone downhill since it started. But the juiciest parts have been disgraced former Trump attorney Michael Cohen’s implosion on the witness stand. When your testimony doesn’t go well on direct exam (by the attorney that called you and should be friendly to you), then you can really expect a big crash and burn on cross exam. Former Federal Prosecutor Katie Cherkasky used the word “annihilation” on Fox News: Former federal prosecutor Katie Cherkasky told Fox News this morning that there will likely be an “annihilation” of Michael Cohen on cross examination when he takes the stand in the Alvin Bragg vs Trump case.. pic.twitter.com/RQSIJYhwXA — Paul Villarreal (AKA Vince Manfeld) (@AureliusStoic1) May 6, 2024 Even CNN’s panel is now saying Alvin Bragg’s case has entered the “territory of doom”: A panel of attorneys told CNN anchor Jake Tapper on Tuesday that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s (D) case against Donald Trump is entering the territory of doom.

We’ve only just begun, and my friends over at TrendingPolitics provided this partial transcript which is delicious to read: “You continued to call President Trump various names on your podcasts and when you’re even doing CNN interviews, correct?” Blanche asks. “Correct,” Cohen says. After President Trump criticized Cohen in a Truth Social post in March of 2023, Cohen shot back with another insult. “You called him dumba** Donald?” Blanche asked. “Sounds correct,” Cohen confirms. Nor could Cohen contain himself from commenting about the trial on TikTok where he has been criticized for allegedly monetizing his comments. Blanche highlighted one statement where Cohen admitted he had “mental excitement about the fact that this trial was starting” and noted a paralegal was monitoring his social media. “That didn’t stop you, did it?” he asked. Cohen said, “No, sir.” Later, the defense shifted back to Cohen’s well-known lies under oath, asking if those oaths differed in any way from the one he took on the witness stand today. “Was that oath that you took every single time, so going back to all the depositions, the same oath that you took Monday morning in this courtroom?” Blanche asks. “Yes sir,” Cohen says. “The oath doesn’t change, depending on the location, does it?” Blanche asks. “No,” Cohen says. “And each time you met with a federal agent you were told that if you made a false statement that that was a felony, a federal crime, correct” Blanche asks. “Yes sir,” Cohen says. Lies to the U.S. House Intelligence Committee were referenced which ultimately led to Cohen’s perjury charges in 2018. “There were a couple of different lies?” Blanche asks. “That’s correct,” Cohen says. When asked about which lies he told during that previous testimony, Cohen admitted he couldn’t remember them all. “What was the other lie?” Blanche asks. “I don’t recall. I think those were the two,” Cohen says, referencing a claim that he stopped the Trump Tower Moscow project talks in January 2016. “You lied under oath, correct?” Blanche asks. “Yes sir,” Cohen says. “And you lied again when you met with the special counsel on August 7, (2018), correct?” Blanche asks. “Correct,” Cohen says. “You said you were accepting responsibility for those lies, for lying to Congress. But in fact, you repeatedly said — and even said this morning, and even this week — that the reason why you lied was because of your loyalty to President Trump,” Blanche says. “I worked with a joint defense agreement and we crafted the two-page document in order to stay on message — the message we all knew Mr. Trump wanted, including Mr. Trump’s attorney at the time,” Cohen responds. “So are you saying you’re accepting responsibility, or blaming the joint defense agreement?” Blanche followed up. “Accepting responsibility, I read it and I submitted it to the committee,” Cohen said on the stand. Watch for yourself here: Here’s how the AP covered it: With prosecutors’ hush money case against Donald Trump barreling toward its end, their star witness was back in the hot seat Thursday as defense lawyers sought to chip away at Michael Cohen’s crucial testimony implicating the former president. Trump’s attorneys resumed the potentially explosive cross-examination of Cohen, trying to paint him as bent on destroying his former boss’s reputation and to undermine his credibility, which could determine the presumptive Republican presidential nominee’s fate in the case. Cohen is prosecutors’ final witness — at least for now — as they try to prove Trump schemed to suppress a damaging story he feared would torpedo his 2016 presidential campaign and then falsified business records to cover it up. Trump did not look at Cohen as he entered the room, gazing straight ahead. The trial got off to a slow start, with attorneys halting proceedings to have several sidebar conversations with the judge out of earshot of reporters. The stop-and-start continued as Trump lawyer Todd Blanche resumed his cross-examination by asking Cohen about text messages he exchanged with an investigator for the Manhattan district attorney’s office who collected his cellphones as part of the hush money probe.

Trump seems a bit confused about what Cohen is even talking about. Talk about a self-inflicted injury!  I can’t believe Bragg played this! Now compare this to what we learned yesterday….it was Cohen who claims he (Cohen) took out a $130,000 home equity line of credit to get the money to pay Stormy Daniels: BREAKING: Michael Cohen Took Out a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) on HIS HOUSE To Pay Stormy Daniels — Makes No Sense! If I didn't know any better, all of this evidence continues to support a story where COHEN is the one having the affair with Stormy Daniels and then trying to cover it up, not Trump. Doesn't that fit the puzzle pieces almost perfectly? I explain it all right here: BREAKING: Michael Cohen Took Out a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) on HIS HOUSE To Pay Stormy Daniels -- Makes No Sense! This story (and "Get Trump Lawfare") continues to get weirder by the day. It's almost beginning to look as if it were Michael Cohen and not Donald Trump having the affair with Stormy Daniels. We just learned today that Michael Cohen decided to take out a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) on HIS OWN PERSONAL HOUSE in order to pay Stormy Daniels the so-called "hush money". I'll break down all my thoughts on that down below, but first just watch this: Wow.

Is Michael Cohen a credible witness for the prosecution?#MichaelCohen… pic.twitter.com/tOCU36eIvA — Conservative Brief (@ConservBrief) May 13, 2024 Quick summary: Michael Cohen testified that he used a home equity line of credit (HELOC) to fund the $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels. He explained that he chose this method because it allowed him to access the funds without directly withdrawing a large sum from his joint bank account with his wife, which he believed would have raised questions or concerns from her. The HELOC provided a more discreet way to obtain the money, as it was paperless and did not require direct communication with his spouse about the transaction. Cohen's decision to use a HELOC was influenced by his desire to keep the payment and its purpose confidential, not only from his wife but also from public scrutiny. Ok, so now my thoughts.... This makes NO SENSE at all. So first of all, it's not at all clear why Cohen had to make the payment himself and not Trump. That's Step One, and I do not think that has been remotely explained well enough. That's very strange. But let's just assume that yes, Cohen needs to be the one to physically make the payment, not Trump or any of Trump's companies. Ok, but then why does Cohen have to go take out a HELOC on his house? He claims it's so that his wife wouldn't find out since they have a shared checking out. Anyone else calling BS on this? So if I am to believe his statement, then I have to believe he had joint checking accounts with his wife but the house was only in his name? Really? Anyone believe that? Of course not!  That would be absurd. The wife wanted joint checking accounts but was fine not being on the deed to the house? That doesn't make any sense. But if the wife was on the deed to the house, then Cohen's story falls apart because she would have to sign the paperwork for the HELOC, so it would actually become WAY more noticeable doing what he did. Also....by taking out a HELOC, he is making a public record of the transaction. That mortgage will be filed with the local county recorder and be public record for all the world to see, even after paid off. Even when you pay it off, the record is not released, you just get two records: you still see the original Mortgage and then whenever you pay it off you then see a RELEASE of Mortgage. So Cohen was trying to hide this activity from his wife (and apparently others) and chose to create a huge public record of it instead? Sorry, I don't buy it. But that's not all.... Set aside all of those questions, next I want to know why Cohen was doing this in his personal accounts in the first place. I'm giving you as a freebie that we'll just assume for some reason that Cohen has to make the payment instead of Trump or a Trump organization. But why is it Cohen personally? Shouldn't it be Cohen's law firm? Shouldn't all of this run through his Trust Account if it were being done (allegedly) for a client (Trump)? Isn't that kind of grounds for disbarment to take client funds and intermix and commingle them with your personal funds? Folks, NONE of this makes any sense. Michael Cohen said he used his home equity line of credit (HELOC) to fund the $130,000 payment to Daniels, explaining that he couldn’t pull the money directly from his bank account because he owned it jointly with his wife.

I want to be clear upfront we have not been able to independently verify these accusations, we are simply reporting what Tony Seruga has claimed on Twitter. For those who don't know Seruga, he posts the following in his bio on Twitter, where he has nearly 80,000 followers: Investor | Board Member | Big Data Pioneer | Intel Ops | CIA/NSA Contractor/Whistleblower | CRE | Philanthropist | Healthcare M&A @ http://GreenlawCapital.com Here is a longer bio assembled by Grok: Tony Seruga is a prominent figure in the intelligence community with over 39 years of experience as an intelligence analyst. He has worked with various high-profile clients, including the United States Government, British Government, Israeli Government, Saudi Arabia Government, Microsoft, and several other notable organizations. Throughout his career, Seruga has made significant contributions to the field of intelligence analysis. However, it is essential to acknowledge that his work has not been without controversy. In 2023, he made headlines when he claimed that there would be a terrorist attack on US soil in the next 14 months. This prediction was met with criticism and skepticism from various sources. Despite the controversy, Seruga's expertise and experience in the intelligence community remain highly regarded. He is known for his dedication to his work and his commitment to providing valuable insights to his clients.

Tony Seruga claims that he used to share an office building in Newport Beach with Michael Avenatti.  Yes, that would be the disgraced porno lawyer that once represented Stormy Daniels and claimed he would "take down Trump". We all know how that turned out....Avenatti himself was sentenced to 14 years in prison on December 5, 2023 (thank you Trump Boomerang Effect!).

While testifying Monday at former President Donald Trump’s criminal hush-money trial in New York City, prosecution witness Michael Cohen admitted he stole from the Trump Organization in 2017. Cohen, who had worked as Trump’s lawyer and fixer, replied in the affirmative when defense attorney Todd Blanche pressed him on an IT firm he hired to rig polls, according to The New York Times. Reporter Maggie Haberman noted in a blog that RedFinch was owed $50,000, but Cohen paid the firm only $20,000 even though he had asked for a $50,000 reimbursement from the Trump Organization. One of Haberman’s colleagues who joined her in the courtroom said Blanche led a line of questioning that “makes Cohen sound extra shady,” pressing about him having “like, a duffle bag of cash?” Asked if he stole from the Trump Organization after being repaid more than he was owed — $100,000 with the money being doubled for tax purposes — Cohen replied, “Yes, sir.” Trump shook his head at the response, per New York Times blog. One post from reporter Susanne Craig called the admission “another big ding to Cohen’s credibility.” Responding to the development in the trial, George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said in a post to X, “These are hits below the waterline for Cohen but also the prosecutors.” He added, “They had a man admitting to a major larceny but never charged Cohen. That made Cohen not only their man, but allowed him to keep stolen money…” Cohen pleaded guilty in 2018 to multiple crimes, including lying to Congress, and served prison time. But, as Cohen acknowledged Monday, he never pleaded guilty to larceny despite telling prosecutors. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is expected to rest his case after the completion of Cohen’s testimony, focused on his role in facilitating payments to women who allegedly had affairs with Trump. Trump, who denies the claims, faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to allegedly conceal damaging information and cover up the payments as part of a scheme to influence the 2016 election. The former president has pleaded not guilty and criticized what he says is a “political persecution” while he runs another campaign for the White House in the 2024 election.

The act of participating in a marathon is an accomplishment in and of itself. Last year, however, Will Loevner not only competed for the first time, he also won! He did so at an impressive time of 2 hours, 19 minutes, and 44 seconds. After such a great accomplishment, he chose to compete again this year. Best of all, he won again! But a second win twice in a row turned out to be just one highlight of his day. Turns out, marathon days are big days for Will. Last year, it’s also the day he and his girlfriend, Emma, went on their first date. It’s fitting, then, that Will chose the Cleveland Marathon as the setting for their proposal. As soon as Will crosses the finish like, he happily greets Emma. Mere moments later, he’s down on one knee. In fact, an announcer is still talking about Will’s incredible win when he pops the question! What an amazing moment for Will to ask Emma to marry him! It doesn’t take her long at all to say yes, prompting everyone to cheer even more than they already were. Now, Will is qualified for the Boston Marathon and he has a fiancé! Needless to say, the Cleveland Marathon will forever hold a special place in their hearts. Two-Time Cleveland Marathon Winner Pulls Off a Heartwarming Proposal Not only did Will win once again, but he also beat last year’s time by 12 seconds. Considering what his plans were for after the marathon, it’s no wonder he had an extra pep in his step! Will has yet to share if he plans on competing in the Cleveland Marathon again next year. Then again, there’s no telling what his schedule will look like with a wedding to plan! You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!
