Mike Lee Hammers Biden ATF Nominee’s ‘Utterly Condescending Attitude’ Toward First Time Gun Owners
by Andrew Trunsky

Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee pressed David Chipman, President Joe Biden’s nominee to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, about his attitude toward new gun owners during his confirmation hearing Wednesday.
Lee invoked comments Chipman made in April 2020, where he compared first-time gun owners to people preparing for a zombie apocalypse. He also compared new gun owners to Joe Exotic, the gun enthusiast and main character on “Tiger King.”
“Most of the new buyers who went out to the gun store and bought a gun have no training whatsoever,” Chipman said during an interview with Cheddar. “In their mind they might be competent, they might think they’re die-hard and ready to go, but unfortunately they’re more like Tiger King. They’re putting themselves and their families in danger.”
Lockdowns Need to Be Intellectually Discredited Once and for All
by Ethan Yang
The American Institute for Economic Research
On May 19, 2021 the LA Times published a column that is representative of the basic arguments for endorsing lockdowns going forward titled “The evidence is clear — COVID lockdowns saved lives without harming economies.”
The column proclaims in large italic font,
“Lockdown should be considered as an effective public health intervention to halt epidemic progression.”
The piece certainly puts forward a case that may be somewhat plausible on its face but after further investigation might be able to pass as scholarly malpractice. The column lays out two major points. The first being that lockdowns played an important role in reducing caseloads. The second point is that the economic damage of lockdowns was relatively inconsequential as the voluntary actions of individuals were largely responsible for the economic downturn.
Criminals Who Targeted Auto Shop with White Supremacist Graffiti Turn Out to Be Two Black Men
Business owner caught suspects on camera.

Summit News
Criminals who repeatedly targeted an auto shop in Spring Lake, North Carolina by leaving racist graffiti referencing the KKK and Nazis turned out to be two African-American men after the owner caught them on camera.
Business owner Dwyane Haynesworth (who is black) took action after having a car stole off his lot and then discovering the racist graffiti, which included a drawing of a swastika.
After setting up the security cameras, that same night the criminals returned and broke into more vehicles before smashing windows and attempting to hot wire one of the cars.
The footage revealed the culprits to be two black men.
Anthony Fauci: ‘I Believe We Will Need a Booster’ for COVID Vaccines, ‘I’m Not Exactly Sure When’
by Joshua Caplan
Breitbart.com
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said Wednesday that Americans are likely to require a booster vaccination against the coronavirus but stated he is unsure about the timing.
“I don’t anticipate that the durability of the vaccine protection is going to be infinite — it’s just not. So, I imagine we will need, at some time, a booster. What we’re figuring out right now is what that interval is going to be,” Fauci testified during a Senate Appropriations subcommittee hearing.
“I believe we will need a booster. I’m not exactly sure when,” he added.
Last week, Fauci first judged that Americans will need a booster vaccine shot with a firmer timeline: within a year.
Scarcity
So lets chat about gold for a minute. If scarcity is an attribute, then gold’s got a lot of it. Jim Rickards was recently interviewed and he told the host that while visiting several of the most major gold refiners/minters, all of them told him that “there’s just no gold around.”

One of the things that bitcoin lovers suggest about their digital currency is that there’s only “so many” coins that will be minted. I understand that completely, because scarcity should be an attribute of money.

Well think about it for a minute. In Russia, the head of what you could call their central bank ( its really not) decided that a full 20% of Russia’s national wealth would indeed be held in gold. On that scale, we’re not talking about ounces, or even kilo’s. We’re talking tons. They’ve amassed many tons of the shiny stuff. Then there’s China, who continues to vacuum up every ounce/kilo/ton they can find.
If the “Vaccines” “Work”, Why Are So Many Vaccinated Still Getting COVID?
by Mac Slavo
SHTF Plan
If the experimental gene therapies they insist you believe are “vaccines” actually “work” to prevent the infection of COVID-19, why are so many still getting the never-ending scamdemic virus? Easy, because they keep getting tested for it and the tests have been proven to not be diagnostic tools.
And the sheep continue to get tested and line up awaiting the experimental gene therapy shot. There is little to no critical thinking left on this planet. Thousands of Americans have caught Covid-19 despite being fully vaccinated, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have said about their own statistics, and they insist that their data suggests such “breakthrough” infections are relatively rare.
However, it’s likely that the number of breakthrough infections is much higher than is being reported, according to a report by RT.
Insouciance Destroyed America

Most Americans have no idea how far gone their country is. We not only have the Biden regime announcing solidarity with BLM and flying the BLM flag at US embassies and consular missions, US military recruitment videos stressing recruitment of lesbian females, men dressing as women, and Americans having their genitals removed so they can become “no gender” https://www.rt.com/op-ed/524768-nullo-surgery-genital-modification/, we have Democrat school systems teaching white people self-hate and infusing them with guilt and making them effective agents in reconstructing America as a racial caste system favoring blacks.
Austin City Hall Now Occupied by a Tent City With Machete-Wielding ‘Security’
City’s homeless crisis spiraling out of control
by Ben Warren
Info Wars
A new tent city has sprouted just outside of Austin’s City Hall, and it even has its own machete-wielding “security,” according to reports.
On Monday, local news spoke with the denizens occupying the homeless camp when, during the middle of an interview, a man with a machete interrupted the conversation.
[…] Local TV station KXAN reports:
On Monday, KXAN spoke with a woman experiencing homelessness at City Hall who explained that those camping outside of the building have formed their own “security detail.”
“We have a whole security team here,” Trisha English said, adding that she and others work shifts to make sure they’re securing the area 24 hours a day. She says when it’s her turn, she wears a bulletproof vest.
James Turk – Gold Sector Massively Under-Owned, Expect Big Upside
from King World News
Today James Turk told King World News that the gold sector is massively under-owned and investors should expect to see big upside.
May 26 (King World News) – James Turk: “One of the old stand-by adages about Wall Street, Eric, is to “sell in May and go away.” This advice has often worked in the past because things slow down during the summer months with people focusing on their holiday rather than markets.
Gold Sector Massively Under-Owned
While that adage might work again this year for the Dow Jones and other indices at or near record highs, the one thing you do not want to sell this May is the shares of mining companies. In fact, the only people left in the gold, silver and mining share markets are the long time bulls, and so many of them have become exhausted or even pessimistic because of the price action in terms of the long consolidation.

Is Covid Going Out With a Whimper? with Dr. Dean Fanelli
from Kerry Lutz's Financial Survival Network
According to Dr. Dean Fanelli, PHD, the vaccine implementation has been a great achievement. It’s time to look back and get a better understanding of where the government, the CDC and Dr. Fauci went wrong. We’ve received conflicting signals about lock-downs, masks and social distancing. The CDC went from all masks all the time to no more masks necessary. Perhaps now they’ve gotten it right. School closings were also way off the mark. We also talked about the admin’s desire to give away the vaccine IP to all takers. Probably not a good idea. There’s a complex web of patents and the ability to manufacture the vaccines make such a giveaway difficult and not effective.

The Dollar is Going to Collapse – Peter Schiff with Greg Hunter
by Greg Hunter
USA Watchdog
Money manager and economist Peter Schiff says all the debt and money printing by the Fed will, ultimately, get down to one thing and that is the U.S. dollar. The Fed has been getting away with this turbocharged money creation policy since the last financial meltdown in 2008. In 2021, the consequences of “money for nothing” are finally kicking in. Schiff explains, “The inflation crisis and the dollar crisis . . . are a much bigger economic event that will have a much greater impact than the 2008 financial crisis. I have been warning about the consequences of all this money printing for years and years. Now, finally, you are really starting to see that. The government has been able to bury the amount of inflation they have been creating because of the CPI (Consumer Price Index). The CPI doesn’t really capture the degree that prices are going up. So, it creates a false sense of confidence that we haven’t had inflation, but now prices are rising so rapidly that even the government’s doctored CPI number can’t hide it. . . . We are getting these huge price increases across the board.”
The Cover-Up Continues: The Truth About Bill Gates, Microsoft, and Jeffrey Epstein
While more revelations about the Bill Gates–Jeffrey Epstein relationship have begun trickling out following the Gates’s divorce announcement, the strong evidence pointing to their relationship beginning decades prior to 2011 continues to be covered up by the media—not necessarily to protect Bill but to protect Microsoft.

Unlimited Hangout
In early May, the announcement that Bill and Melinda Gates would be divorcing after twenty-seven years of marriage shocked both those that praise and those that loathe the “philanthropic” power couple.
Less than a week after the initial announcement of the divorce, on May 7, the Daily Beast reported that Melinda Gates had allegedly been “deeply troubled” by Bill Gates’s relationship with child sex trafficker and intelligence asset Jeffrey Epstein. The report suggested that Melinda was a major reason for her husband’s decision to distance himself from Epstein around 2014 because of her discomfort with Epstein after they both met him in 2013. That previously unreported meeting had taken place at Epstein’s mansion on New York’s Upper East Side.
Death By 1,000 Cuts
by James Rickards
Daily Reckoning
If you like roller coaster rides, then you should love Bitcoin. Bitcoin investors have been on a stomach-churning ride for the past few months.
Bitcoin traded at $33,537 on February 1 before really taking off. By mid-April, it topped out at around $64,829 before sliding down.
Last Wednesday, Bitcoin suffered a single-day collapse of 30%. Then, yesterday afternoon, Bitcoin plunged sharply to $31,227, over a 50% decline since its April high.
“Never fear!” say the Bitcoin cheerleaders. Bitcoin has had many drops of that magnitude or even greater in recent years and has bounced back to new highs every time.
That’s true. So, it’s too soon to talk about the demise of Bitcoin based on a few bad weeks of price action. And it did bounce back today to over $39,000.
Probability Part II
by Karl Denninger
Market-Ticker.org
So in Part I we talked about Mozzy a bit.
But I’d like to focus on something else I discussed in that article — the roulette wheel. It turns out that odds and probability in true games of chance, which roulette is, can teach you quite a lot about things that happen in the real world.
As I pointed out, and as anyone who has been in a casino can clearly relate to, every single wheel in a casino has a board at the head where the previous winning numbers for some number back are displayed. They do this because people believe that if 3, 4, 5 or even 10 reds come up in a row the next one is more likely to be black. They thus are drawn to that table, bet, and win or lose…… exactly as they do at every other table! Why? Because what happened before in a game of chance has no influence on what happens in the future, unless of course someone is cheating.
