The Evisceration of Joe Biden

Trump took Biden out behind the woodshed for hours. June 28, 2024 [WEBSITE]( | [UNSUBSCRIBE]( The Evisceration of Joe Biden SEAN RING Dear Reader, Call the cops! There’s been a murder! My goodness, Donald Trump crushed Joe Biden in what CNN called a “debate.” It was more like a demolition derby. My friend of mine wrote: Biden's handlers should have found a reason, any reason at all, to pull him out of this debate. They hid him for a week so he could prepare. How could they not know how bad it would be? This is what happens when you force-feed massive amounts of Adderall to nursing home patients. I couldn’t have put it better, myself. But here’s the thing: did the butler do it? Did the DNC and CNN plan on making Biden look awful, and maybe they even alert Trump about it? Why else would Trump agree to such stupid rules? Strict timing, no talking after the microphone is shut off… and yet Trump still knocked Biden out. I can’t prove that, of course, but is it really that remote a possibility? And then Jim Rickards’ thesis that Biden will be removed makes even more sense. Donald Trump looked and sounded like he was twenty years younger than Biden. Biden lost his way more than a few times. It wasn’t even close. Let’s just look at a couple of points in last night’s debate. The Economy Trump’s statement: We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We have never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us. We got hit with COVID. And when we did, we spent the money necessary so we wouldn’t end up in a Great Depression, the likes of which we had in 1929. By the time we finished – so we did a great job. We got a lot of credit for the economy, a lot of credit for the military, and no wars and so many other things. Everything was rocking good. But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess. He created mandates – that was a disaster for our country. But other than that, we had – we had given them back a – a country where the stock market actually was higher than pre-COVID. And nobody thought that was even possible. The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounce-back jobs, they’re bounced back from the COVID. He has not done a good job. He has done a poor job. And inflation’s killing our country. It is absolutely killing us. Biden’s retort: Well, look, the greatest economy in the world, he’s the only one who thinks that, I think. I don’t know anybody else who thinks it was great – he had the greatest economy in the world. And, you know, the fact of the matter is that we found ourselves in a situation where his economy he rewarded the wealthy. He had the largest tax cut in American history, $2 trillion. He raised the deficit larger than any president has in any one term. He’s the only president other than Herbert Hoover who has lost more jobs than he had when he began, since Herbert Hoover. The idea that he did something that was significant. And the military, you know, when he was president, they were still killing people in Afghanistan. And he didn’t do anything about that. When he was president, we were still finding ourselves in a position where you had a notion that we were this safe country. The truth is, I’m the only president this century that doesn’t have any this – this decade, that doesn’t have any troops dying anywhere in the world like he did. Sean’s take: This is one place where Biden misstepped early. Trump shut down the country. Biden should’ve hammered him on that. Remember “two weeks to flatten the curve?” That happened under Trump. Biden simply didn’t throw that punch, perhaps because his lockdowns were longer. As for the deficit, with Biden’s insane deficits, I don’t know why he even brought that up. I think it’s terrible debate coaching. And the nonsense about Afghanistan… sheesh, Biden just opened up the floodgates for Trump later in the debate. [URGENT: 5,000% Gold Trade!?]( Our top resource analyst NEVER recommends trades like this. He prefers “modest” winners that can grow your money by 100% in 60-90 days. But this #1 gold trade is simply too big to ignore. This year, while gold’s hitting new all-time highs… One sector of the gold market has remained very cheap. And it’s setting up what we call “The Ultimate Gold Trade.” [Click Here To Learn More]( The National Debt Biden’s statement: He had the largest national debt of any president in a four-year period, number one. Number two, he – that $2 trillion tax cut benefited the very wealthy. I – what I’m going to do is fix the tax system. For example, we have a thousand trillionaires in America – I mean, billionaires in America. And what’s happening? They’re in a situation where they, in fact, pay 8.2 percent in taxes. If they just paid 24 percent or 25 percent, either one of those numbers, they’d raised $500 million – billion dollars, I should say, in a 10-year period. We’d be able to right wipe out his debt. We’d be able to help make sure that all those things we need to do – childcare, elder care, making sure that we continue to strengthen our healthcare system, making sure that we’re able to make every single solitary person eligible for what I’ve been able to do with the – with – with – with the COVID. Excuse me, with dealing with everything we have to do with – look, if – we finally beat Medicare. Trump: Well, he’s right. He did beat Medicare. He beat it to death. And he’s destroying Medicare because all of these people are coming in, they’re putting them on Medicare. They’re putting them on Social Security. They’re going to destroy Social Security. This man is going to single-handedly destroy Social Security. These millions and millions of people coming in, they’re trying to put them on Social Security. He will wipe out Social Security. He will wipe out Medicare. So he was right in the way he finished that sentence. And it’s a shame. What’s happened to our country in the last four years is not to be believed. Foreign countries, I’m friends with a lot of people. They cannot believe what happened to the United States of America. We’re no longer respected. They don’t like us. We give them everything they want, and they think we’re stupid. They think we’re very stupid people. What we’re doing for other countries, and they do nothing for us. What this man has done is absolutely criminal. Sean’s take: Biden started leaving too many ways for Trump to outsmart him. There was nothing Biden could do. He started looking senile and lost after this point. The Border Biden’s statement: Because we worked very hard to get a bipartisan agreement that not only changed all of that, but it made sure that we are in a situation where you had no circumstance where they could come across the border with the number of border police there are now. We significantly increased the number of asylum officers. Significantly – by the way, the Border Patrol men endorsed me, endorsed my position. In addition to that, we found ourselves in a situation where, when he was president, he was taking – separating babies from their mothers, putting them in cages, making sure the families were separated. That’s not the right way to go. What I’ve done – since I’ve changed the law, what’s happened? I’ve changed it in a way that now you’re in a situation where there are 40 percent fewer people coming across the border illegally. That’s better than when he left office. And I’m going to continue to move until we get the total ban on the – the total initiative relative to what we’re going to do with more Border Patrol and more asylum officers. Jake Tapper (CNN): President Trump? Trump’s retort: I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence. I don’t think he knows what he said, either. Sean’s take: And that, my friends, was the kill shot. Biden was wobbling and stumbling from that point onward. Wrap Up This was an evisceration. President Biden looked more like a schoolboy getting beaten up by the schoolyard bully. Former President Trump won decisively, and I can see the polls moving further in his favor. Again, it’s not who votes that counts—it’s who counts the vote. So, this debate victory means less for Trump than one would assume. And yet, Biden looks like a doddering old man. Let’s not be surprised if he pulls an LBJ in the coming months and “chooses” not to run again. Have a great weekend!

In Case You Missed It… The Golden Age of Minors SEAN RING Finance theory dictates that between 75% and 91% of all portfolio returns are because of asset class selection rather than stock selection. For this reason, we recommend commodities and commodity stocks at Paradigm Press. We believe this is the beginning of a commodity supercycle. Many of you have doubtless done well already by owning these commodities either via futures or stocks. One of the many things we’ve seen is the difference between the price of gold and gold miners. A yawning gap has opened up between the two, meaning the miners are historically cheap compared to the metal. Credit: [Visual Capitalist]( As a result, buying mining stocks is an unusually good bet. Today, I’ll go into what I’m personally holding. Please don’t feel like you have to replicate any part of my portfolio. It’s only to show you what I’ve already done rather than what you should do. Only you know your portfolio well enough to judge that. Remember that I said I was “swinging for the fences” a while back. I’m big into taking risks (especially with my silver positions). That’s very important. It’s not to everyone’s taste. Also, I’m more of a chart guy, so I’ll discuss the technical perspective more than anything else. One last thing: many of these picks are in Paradigm Press portfolios, such as Strategic Intelligence. I trust my colleagues more than anyone else. That is, I eat Paradigm Press’ cooking! Let’s get into it. Gold Miners Kinross Gold (KGC) Dan Amoss recommended selling this stock in the last Strategic Intelligence June portfolio update. It’s been in their portfolio for a long time. While locking in a 70% gain is a good thing for subscribers, I’m hanging onto this stock. I got in later (purchase price: $6.04), and I think we’re about to begin another upswing. Also, the chart is just too good-looking for me to sell it right now. Avino Silver & Gold Com NPV (ASM) This is a small miner that rates highly. Don Durrett of GoldStockData.com loves this stock, and his analyses are incredibly useful. Right now, ASM is taking a breather and consolidating before its next up leg. It just bounced off its 50-day moving average. Silver Miners First, the silver futures chart: Silver rocketed to over $32/oz. but then it cooled down. It didn’t fall off a cliff by any means. It just didn’t continue its meteoric rise. This has put a dampener on my silver mining stocks. I expect this to reverse when silver exceeds $35/oz. Right now, it’s sitting on its 50-day moving average. Hecla Mining (HL) This is one of the uglier charts, as the 50-day moving average line is declining. We should see a recovery as long as HL doesn’t fall through support at $4.70. You may view this as a buying opportunity if you're not in yet. First Majestic Silver Corp Com NPV USD (AG) Another silver stalwart, this chart needs to bounce off the 200-day moving average to retain any hope. Silvercrest (SILV) This is still a hold in the Strategic Intelligence Pro portfolio, and I agree with it. It’s only a matter of time before SILV regains its 50-day moving average. And the chart still heavily uptrends. From Dan Amoss’ commentary on SILV: SilverCrest’s financial results, reported on May 14, were excellent. SilverCrest has the balance sheet, cash flow, and track record to expand the mine’s life through further drilling programs. SILV remains an attractive play on rising silver prices.

Byron King, our Senior Geologist, said, “It's a Sturdy old company. They keep a low profile but do good work. Very efficiently run.” It’s also another company hugging its 50-day moving average before heading up again. Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) Sibanye Stillwater (SBSW) This is my one real stinker so far. It’s essentially a bet on South Africa and platinum group metals. I had hoped I caught it off the bottom, and that scenario may still play out. But right now, this position is underwater by about a buck per share. Royalty Companies Orogen Royalties Inc. (OGN.V) Orogen Royalties is a company Rick Rule recommended at the Paradigm Shift Summit 2023 in Las Vegas. When Rick recommended it, OGN.V was trading at roughly CAD 0.65. It’s now at CAD 1.11, after peaking at CAD 1.35. It just bounced off its 50-day moving average, so I expect a leg up from here, hopefully moving through 1.35 soon. Wrap Up We’ve been bullish on commodities for years, and rightfully so. But right now, the gap between commodities and stock prices is at its widest spread in 50 years. Whenever this happened, it triggered the start of a massive “supercycle” inside the commodities market that squeezed prices higher and higher.
