It's too easy and seemingly obvious that everyone has their hearts set on the halving before anything major changes but we all know this market does its own thing regardless. Newer options to bring in higher net worth types can instill new demand which is what drives the price so I'd bet we get a decent rally sometime in the fall and perhaps another mega rally leading up to the halving.

Gals will like it no thx to buttchop. They will see what's up in some time after the fact but good will come of it.

He shoudn't replay that crap and try being a boss in this market, the pics suck. Does anyone perceive the market at this point? Move on and be cool.

Don't be a fool and sell at this point unless you're a pro, you'll regret it terribly. Too many good things on the horizon

Paul: Justice equals peace in Baltimore

U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., a GOP presidential hopeful, said the charges in Baltimore case could bring peace to the city Friday at a Northern Kentucky Chamber event, where he also talked Brent Spence.

FORT MITCHELL – GOP presidential hopeful and U.S. Sen. Rand Paul Friday appeared to welcome the news that six Baltimore city police officers would face criminal charges in the death of a prisoner in custody, even if he didn’t say how he felt about which way the case should go.

“The sooner we get justice, the sooner we will get peace,” Paul said after a lunch meeting with minority and business leaders at the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce. He did not indicate whether the officers in question should be convicted or acquitted of any charges, however. The death sparked looting and rioting in Baltimore earlier this week, although Friday, the Maryland state attorney announced she would pursue manslaughter and assault charges against the police officers in question.

Paul also said he regretted a comment he made on a national radio talk show about “not stopping during a riot” earlier in the week. On the nationally syndicated Laura Ingraham show Tuesday, Paul linked the violence to a “lack of fathers,” praised police in general and quipped that his train rode through Baltimore the previous night and that “I’m glad the train didn’t stop.”

“You always regret off-hand comments after you say them because people misinterpret them,” Paul said Friday. ““But people shouldn’t misinterpret my intentions ... I have been one of the few people traveling to our big cities trying to find solutions to poverty there.”

Citing an anti-Russia policy brief, US lawmakers approved $200 million for providing “lethal weapons of a defensive nature” to the Ukrainian government as part of the $600 billion Pentagon budget proposal for the fiscal year 2016.

The House Armed Services Committee passed its proposal for the 2016 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) with a bipartisan vote of 60 to 2, in what Defense News described as a “marathon” session that ended around 4:30am on Thursday.

Section 1532 of the 498-page document calls for the US to provide assistance, “including training, equipment, lethal weapons of a defensive nature, logistics support, supplies and services, and sustainment to the military and national security forces of Ukraine” through the end of September 2016.

In addition to the $200 million allocated for the program, the proposal also authorizes the Pentagon to “accept and retain contributions, including in-kind contributions, from foreign governments.”

The bill says the purpose of the assistance is to back the government of Ukraine in “protecting and defending the Ukrainian people from attacks posed by Russian-backed separatists,” as well as “securing its sovereign territory against foreign aggressors” and “promoting the conditions for a negotiated settlement to end the conflict.”

The NDAA sub-section dealing with weapons for Kiev specifically referenced a February 2015 report authored by a coalition of foreign policy think-tanks urging the US and NATO to resist “Russian aggression.”

Chaired by Texas Republican Mac Thornberry, the committee recognized that the White House has done much to provide “nonlethal security assistance” to Kiev, including a $75 million commitment announced last month, but nonetheless “believes that defensive weapons and training are also necessary to enhance the defense of Ukraine.”

Members of the 173rd Airborne Brigade arrived in Ukraine earlier this month as part of a training program aimed at Kiev’s military and security forces, prompting the Russian Foreign Ministry to question Washington’s motives.

“What will these foreign military experts teach them – how to continue killing those who speak Russian?” asked Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Aleksandr Lukashevich.

Want to fix Baltimore? ‘End the drug war,’ says David Simon

No, The Wire does not explain what's happening in Baltimore this week, as my colleague Alyssa Rosenberg wrote yesterday. Still, the show's creator and former Baltimore Sun reporter David Simon knows a lot more about the city than most of us. And in a wide-ranging and riveting interview with The Marshall Project today, he offers an unequivocal assessment of how to turn things around in that city today.

"So do you see how this ends or how it begins to turn around?" Bill Keller asks him.

"We end the drug war," Simon says. "I know I sound like a broken record, but we end the [expletive] drug war. The drug war gives everybody permission to do anything. It gives cops permission to stop anybody, to go in anyone’s pockets, to manufacture any lie when they get to district court... Medicalize the problem, decriminalize [it] — I don't need drugs to be declared legal, but if a Baltimore State’s Attorney told all his assistant state’s attorneys today, from this moment on, we are not signing overtime slips for court pay for possession, for simple loitering in a drug-free zone... then all at once, the standards for what constitutes a worthy arrest in Baltimore would significantly improve."

Simon traces the arrest and death of Freddie Gray to a police culture that's long since abandoned any pretense of probable cause when it comes to stopping and arresting young black men in the city. "The drug war — which Baltimore waged as aggressively as any American city — was transforming in terms of police/community relations, in terms of trust, particularly between the black community and the police department," he says. "Probable cause was destroyed by the drug war."

In the growing concern over drug use in the 1980s and 1990s, political leaders -- in Baltimore and in cities all over the country -- began throwing people in jail on flimsy suspicions, Simon argues. "Too many officers who came up in a culture that taught them not the hard job of policing, but simply how to roam the city, jack everyone up, and call for the wagon."

As Ron sr. has said himself or my recent posting in this thread about Ronnie jr., Ron and Rand are 99% the same on the issues and the end game but just different in tactics. Meaning, you'll get much more non-iconoclastic lingo out of Rand who's trying to build a broader coalition (and that includes establishment types) w/o offering too much for the media to demagogue on and labeling him an extremist like the old man. Some strong libertarian/ancap idealists can't stomach the needle that Rand has to thread and thus call him a sell out even tho they should be intelligent enough to see the big picture.

Yeah, ya just came make stuff like this up. The liberal intolerants just play super dirty and the lesbian couple was vindictive and lying as much as they could to stick it to this cake baker because of their beliefs. Yet if I'm in business, I'm certainly not going to turn down profits by anyone that is a free individual in public. To me that is just strange tho I certainly believe in their right to discriminate or whatever word one wants to call it. Shame on everyone who used the force of the state to punish their perceived enemies. Lastly, I'd like to know if I'm about to do business with someone who hates me for whatever reason and I certainly would shop elsewhere rather than calling the nanny to beat them to a proverbial pulp.

He looks similar but is clearly younger than the other while also having a narrow nose. Also, I'm not seeing this head transplant nonsense happening I'm not exactly sure it's possible to severe the spinal chord and expect anything positive happening.

The OP is a prime example of what happens when someone is new to crypto and they have a certain amount of money to spend/invest. Even more true when a bull market starts. The price of Bitcoin looks high so the next best thing is to get the silver crypto so one can purchase so many more of them. This is why litecoin typically makes big moves during a bull market in Bitcoin. Most new folks think crypto is crypto so buying one is the same as another outside of the pricing.

It is true that USD has been and continues to be strong. But ask yourself, w/ spending out of control and the debt continuing to pile up, the excessive printing of money to prop up the welfare/warfare state and the political class that is sustained by it, it can't go on much longer and it'll take the stock market w/ it on its way out. If you're 23, this shit will be well gone and different by the time you retire. You have plenty of future to generate income for yourself so I would stick w/ physical silver bullion and bitcoin. Silver will basically hedge against inflation while something so evolutionary as bitcoin will do its own thing which is likely to grow many times its current valuation.

Guess who everyone? I think they're paying more for OP's rather than just pedo-talk and rainbow pictures.

Feminists (the ones that aren't lesbians) are attracted to a certain type of male and it certainly isn't an alpha so they're kind of in their own world yet want to foist their mindsets on others so this pushback is well deserved. I just love when a feminist is appalled.

While I'm not saying it won't happen, currently and in past decades the prescription for debt and money printing has been that the USD stay the reserve currency of the world so the inflation can be exported overseas to those doing business in the default reserve currency. This is why some wars have been fought because certain country's leaders were attempting to opt to do trade in something besides USD. If and when all that money comes back home, you'll see this kind of inflation.

The last time some Twitter leftist sneered at me and called me a “breeder,” I wondered whether this collectivist genius considered not reproducing to be a wise long-term strategy. The fact is that in America, most of the time it’s the traditional, conservative people who choose to have children. Between their contempt for traditional family life, their abortion fetish, and the vexing problem of the fact that neither XX+XX nor XY+XY equals “baby,” leftists are dropping below their replacement fertility rate. But letting them die out is not enough; we conservatives need to outbreed them.


Basically, we already erotically high-achieving conservatives need to do even better. Sure, it’s a sacrifice, but we owe it to our country.


Liberal women, encouraged by the sour crones of the radical feminist movement, often wait far too long to marry and to begin families. They were lied to – you can’t have it all. Life is choices, and a family is a choice that means trade-offs. Choose unwisely, and one may not be able to undue the relentless ticking of the biological clock.

And as far as liberal men go, well, just look at them. It’s hard muster raw sexual energy when you think foreplay consists of sobbing to your life partner about how you can’t bear the weight of your undeserved phallocentic privilege.


When leftists do breed, it seems less like a joyous reaffirmation of God’s bounty than a concession to a vaguely unpleasant conformity. Here in the heart of blue America, I see coastal liberals pushing their designer strollers with their one sad, designer clothes-clad kid. But it’s less a kid then a receptacle for their own inadequacies and unhappiness.


Maybe they think that by filling up their kids’ lives with “enrichment” activities and piles of expensive stuff they can fill up their own empty lives. Who needs things like God, country and honor anyway? “Those are for those knuckledragging Red State losers! Wait, I’m feeling down – better give the kid to the nanny and take another Adderall with a glass of chardonnay!”

Unfortunately, most of the so-called breeder class are dependent on big government so who knows. I just posted this because of the lulz.

Black conservative & libertarian millennials launch Pro-Paul Super PAC

The mission of the FreedmenPAC is to aggregate black conservatives who endorse Senator Rand Paul’s campaign for the presidency of the United States. Our goal is to raise funds and create a support network necessary for the election of Senator Paul and other liberty candidates.

As an organization of black conservatives, our major focus is supporting candidates who advocate for fundamental solutions in the black community. We believe Rand Paul is the only candidate, of either party, whose platform gives any hope in restoring the black family. His policies will invigorate black communities in order to create autonomy for generations to come.

Senator Paul has suggested economic freedom zones that would give tax breaks to businesses in impoverished neighborhoods. This would give black business owners the flexibility necessary to build infrastructure and expand capital to ensure the longevity of their communities.

Senator Paul is also committed to enfranchising non-violent criminals who have lost their right to vote on issues in their communities. The policy would allow an enormous population of African Americans to regain their political power. In addition to proposing unprecedented reforms in criminal justice, Dr. Paul has voiced serious concern about the current war on drugs.

Finally, his stance on school choice would revolutionize our crumbling education system by putting it back into the hands of parents. Dr. Paul believes that socio-economic status shouldn't determine where, or the quality, in which our children are educated. A great education needs to be available for everyone, in addition to the parents and community needing to be the cornerstone of decisions, not Washington.

Wherever you are, if the plight of African Americans and other minorities is important to you, then support the FreedmenPAC’s commitment to elect Rand Paul, and liberty candidates to empower our black citizens.

Either that or the bankers would let the whole system cave in and attempt to blame libertarians. Under such a crash there would be constantly diminishing purchasing power for those on fixed incomes/welfare. Not saying this would happen just speculating because I know how these types operate. Keep kicking the can down the road until the people get hip to it and vote in someone who can stop the bleeding and turn things around, then let it fold and get the masses calling for big govt once again.
