Unending Madness: Election Economics Chaos with Michael Pento

from Kerry Lutz's Financial Survival Network

In this episode of the Financial Survival Network, host Kerry Lutz welcomes back Michael Pento. The conversation dives into the ongoing economic challenges and the questionable policies affecting both markets and everyday Americans. They discuss the current “election insanity” and question whether the outcome will truly address the underlying economic issues, highlighting that neither candidate offers a complete solution. Michael Pento shares his insights on how government spending, particularly the trillions of dollars in stimulus and helicopter money, has contributed to inflation and economic instability. The discussion touches on the flaws of government intervention, including proposed subsidies for housing, which they argue will only inflate prices further. Pento also criticizes the reliance on money printing and the lack of sound fiscal policy, warning that these actions could lead to long-term economic pain. They wrap up by addressing the challenges faced by the middle class, the dangers of asset bubbles, and the importance of preparing for potential economic downturns.

Don’t Trust the Polls

by James Rickards
Daily Reckoning

As my longtime readers know, I’m a financial forecaster who prefers to focus on markets.

But because politics can have such a large influence on markets, I can’t afford to ignore politics. So I’ll be focusing a lot on the November election in the next two months.

Today we’ll be looking at the candidates’ platforms, along with polling results and methodologies.

We’ll also consider some wild cards that most financial media are not anticipating and most investors are not aware of.

The implications for investors could not be more clear. So let’s dig in.

Overthrowing the Constitution: All Sides Are Waging War On Our Freedoms

by John W. Whitehead and Nisha Whitehead
The Rutherford Institute

“We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.” – Abraham Lincoln

It is both apt and ironic that the anniversary of 9/11, which paved the way for the government to overthrow the Constitution, occurs the week before the anniversary of the day the U.S. Constitution was adopted on September 17, 1787.

All sides are still waging war on our constitutional freedoms, and “we the people” remain the biggest losers.

This year’s presidential election is no exception.

As Bruce Fein, the former associate deputy attorney general under President Ronald Reagan, warns in a recent article in the Baltimore Sun, “In November, the American people will have a choice between Harris-Walz and Trump-Vance. But they will not have a choice between an Empire and a Republic.

Springfield Ohio and the Haitian Migrant Crisis

Haitian migrants have swamped the city of Springfield Ohio and it’s the taxpaying, contributing people of that city who are paying the price, of course.

by Dr. Chris Martenson
Chris Martenson’s Peak Prosperity

Here are a few of the salient facts and features of being invaded by migrants.

First, you have to pay for them to get to and then enter your country illegally> This is what government/taxpayer funding of NGOs means.

Second, you have to pay for the direct costs of transporting, feed and housing them.

Third, you have to pay for the indirect costs of higher insurance premiums, emergency services expenses, and high rent costs particularly for those on the lower socioeconomic rungs.

Shocker: Iran Funneling Billions Through the Fed’s System

by James Hickman
Schiff Sovereign

When I was a kid growing up in the 1980s, my father used to go every summer for two weeks of military training as part of his commitment to the US Army Reserve. And whenever he flew home, we would always meet him at the airport.

But back then, my mom, sister, and I could all go straight through security and sit at the gate to wait for him. In fact that was normal all the way through the late 1990s.

Then, of course, everything changed after 9/11. The federal government took over airport security overnight, and for the past 23 years, we’ve been taking off our shoes, getting fondled by federal agents, and throwing away our liquids.

More than two decades after 9/11, most of these TSA Security rules (the majority of which have been adopted around the world) seem pretty stupid.

White House Vacant – Biden Absent 40% of Presidency

by Martin Armstrong
Armstrong Economics

The average American will never take a 16-day consecutive vacation from work. Why did President Joe Biden take off for nearly half of August? RNC Research reported that Biden has spent 532 days, or 40.3% of his entire presidency, on vacation. Who is leading the nation?

Many often forget that Joe Biden remains president, commander-in-chief, and leader of the world’s top economy. Kamala Harris is NOT the president, but the news cycle has only spoken of her and how she will repair America if elected president. She is utterly absent from her post but swears up and down that she is dedicated to implementing change. So Joe Biden is on a permanent vacation in Delaware while Kamala Harris is on the campaign trail. The White House has become an abandoned building.

Trump and Paulson’s Proposal: U.S. Sovereign Wealth Fund (or Another Grifter Bailout)

by Pam Martens and Russ Martens
Wall Street on Parade

Last Thursday, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump spoke before the Economic Club of New York. During the speech, Trump revealed that if he wins the election he will create a U.S. Sovereign Wealth Fund.

Sovereign Wealth Funds are what countries that are rich from oil exports create with their surplus budget balances in order to diversify their nation’s investments. (Countries such as Norway, Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait, and numerous other countries have Sovereign Wealth Funds.) Not only does the U.S. not have any budget surpluses to invest but it is projected to have a $1.9 trillion budget deficit this fiscal year as well as having an existing national debt of $35.4 trillion.

Trump explained his plan as follows in his speech at the Economic Club of New York:

This May Be the End of the Massive Deflation in Used Vehicles That Pushed Down Core CPI: Wholesale Prices Surge for Second Month Amid Strong Sales Growth & Tight Inventories

by Wolf Richter

Wholesale prices jumped across the board but spiked the most for EVs.

Prices of used cars, SUVs, pickup trucks, and vans that were sold at auctions across the US jumped by 1.2% in August from July, seasonally adjusted, the second jump in a row after a long series of declines, according to today’s Used Vehicle Value Index by Manheim, which runs about 8 million vehicles a year through its auction lanes. The index is adjusted for changes in mix and mileage (red in the chart).

A Silver Tea Cup! This Epic 45-Year Silver Pattern Should Have Traders Drooling

by Mike Maharrey
Silver Seek

Gold has been on quite a bull run this year, but silver has lagged.

The wide gold-silver ratio tells us that silver is historically underpriced compared to gold, and it’s clear that the white metal isn’t priced for the supply and demand dynamics.

What gives?

In 1981, Roy Jastram wrote a book titled Silver: The Restless Metal. This perfectly captures the difficulty of nailing down the trajectory of silver.

One factor that complicates things is that silver serves two very different roles.

A little over 50 percent of silver demand comes from industrial offtake, and with the rapidly expanding “green economy,” this percentage will likely climb. Industrial metals are sensitive to a host of economic factors including the overall trajectory of the global economy. Recessions typically put downward price pressures on metals.

Fed Must Decide if Quarter-Point Cut Will Be Enough for Workers

by Catarina Saraiva
Yahoo! Finance

(Bloomberg) — The Federal Reserve is set to begin unwinding its tightening campaign this month as inflation cools and the labor market slows. The big question policymakers now face is whether a small interest-rate cut will be enough to keep the economy in expansion mode.

[…] The monthly jobs report Friday showed the pace of hiring in the US moderated over the last three months to the slowest since the onset of the pandemic in 2020. Even so, the numbers left investors skeptical as to whether Fed officials would opt for an outsize rate cut at their Sept. 17-18 meeting.

The release sets the table for a heated debate between those like Fed Chair Jerome Powell, who is open to a larger cut to ensure the central bank doesn’t fall behind the curve, and other officials who “are still waffling on a quarter point,” according to Diane Swonk, chief economist at KPMG.

Californians Lose Power Again in Heat Wave Amid ‘Green Energy’ Push

by Joel B. Pollak
Breitbart.com

California residents are once again struggling to keep the lights on after as many as 50,000 people lost electricity in a heat wave this past weekend that caused the famed Hollywood Bowl to cancel a concert due to the power outage.

[…] The Hollywood Reporter noted:

The Hollywood Bowl was forced to cancel its Sept. 8 show due to a power outage.

The venue posted on its website that the concert, headlined by Vance Joy, had been called off.

The Reporter said that it was unclear what caused the outage, but KABC-7 blamed the heat:

The heat was affecting electrical equipment as utilities scrambled to dispatch crews.

That left many thousands of people without working air conditioning or refrigeration during one of the hottest days of the year.

Crude at a Crossroads

by Craig Hemke
Sprott Money

With the next meeting of the FOMC schedule for next week, let’s take some time this week to consider crude oil prices, which stand at a crossroads.

That next FOMC meeting, where Jerry Powell will decide whether to cut the fed funds rate by 25 or 50 basis points, will be the biggest newsmaker of the month, and it will drive precious metal prices into October and beyond. As such, there will be plenty of time to analyze charts and discuss gold and silver. For this week, however, let’s look at crude oil prices.

Watching the energy markets will always be important. Not only is the crude oil market the largest commodity market in the world (I don’t count gold here, as gold is money, not a “commodity”), but the overall price of energy is also a big determinant in the earnings of gold and silver mining companies. Falling energy prices can help widen their miner margins and produce larger earnings per share. So mining investors should always monitor trends in energy prices.

China, Russia Set for Series of Joint Exercises This Month Aimed at Bolstering Pacific Presence

from Zero Hedge

China revealed Monday that it plans to hold another major joint military exercise with Russia. It confirmed its PLA naval and air forces will participate in the “North-Joint 2024” exercises

The location is sure to be provocative to Tokyo and the West’s eyes as it the drills are happening around the Sea of Japan and the Sea of Okhotsk. “This exercise aims to deepen the strategic cooperation level between the Chinese and Russian militaries and enhance their ability to jointly deal with security threats,” China’s defense ministry said.

No date was specified other than to say that the drills will kick off later this month, and will include the two sides sending naval fleets to “relevant sea areas of the Pacific Ocean” for a joint maritime patrol. Both will also participate in Russia’s “Ocean-2024” strategic exercise.

Nervous Kamala Ignores Reporter Asking, ‘Are You Worried About Trump?’ On Eve of Debate

“I’m getting a lot of nervousness from some Democrats,” BBC correspondent Katty Kay says of upcoming debate.

Democrat nominee looked tense as she deplaned from Air Force Two in Philadelphia and beelined to her motorcade while ignoring a reporter who asked if she was “worried about Trump” on the eve of the presidential debate.

[…] Harris simply waved and entered her vehicle without offering a reply.

Internal sources close to Harris’s campaign claimed Kamala has been “nervous” about her upcoming debate with Trump.

“I’m getting a lot of Democrats texting me, I had a long call yesterday with a strategist and I can fill you in a bit more. But I’m getting a lot of nervousness from some Democrats,” BBC correspondent Katty Kay said Sunday.

“I’m picking up quite a lot of nervousness by the way on the state of the race,” she added.
