HALF-FULL REPORT 07/18/25

Thursday, July 17

Thursday, July 17

TTPers got a heads-up on this the day before with The Jeffrey Epstein Hoax (7/16). Things exploded last night (7/17 6:45pm) when the Wall Street Journal ran a fake letter claiming Trump wrote to Epstein in 2003. Big mistake.

Immediately, MAGA fence-sitting ended. Last night on X: Key Influencers Rally Behind Trump After Wall Street Journal’s Epstein Hit Backfires.  Musk calls it “bogus.” Megyn Kelly: “This is the dumbest attempted hit piece I’ve ever read.”

Yet even before the WSJ hit piece was released, early yesterday polls by CNN and Quinnipiac revealed: Trump’s Popularity Grows with Republicans amid Epstein Uproar.  CNN’s data guru explains:

90% support? That settles that. Epstein is old news.  Especially with 47’s finishing touch last night:

All in all, quite a night last night.

And in addition to all the above: Congress Defunds National Public Radio And Public Broadcasting Service; Congress Defunds USAID (US Agency for International Development, provider of US foreign aid).  The $9 Billion “clawback” bill rescinding the money from the federal budget will be signed into law today (7/18).

Oh, also last night.  You know that execrable Turmp-hating smartass libtard Stephen Colbert on late night TV? Well… Stephen Colbert’s ‘Late Show’ Cancelled By CBS.  POTUS is pleased:

fire-talkshow-trash

The moron, of course, is unwatchable Jimmy Fallon

 

But wait, there’s more!  Again, last night: ICE Granted Unprecedented Access To Medicaid Database To Help Identify And Deport Illegal Immigrants.  Millions of illegals are scamming billions of taxpayer dollars that should go to the healthcare of actual Americans, and POTUS is putting an end to it.
Still more!  Last week (7/08), you learned: FBI Launches Criminal Investigations Of John Brennan, James Comey: DOJ Sources.  There’s one fly in that ointment: statutes of limitations may preclude it.

A hah!  Turns out, Kash Patel has the solution – wrap all their treasonous subversion into a “Grand Criminal Conspiracy Investigation” which specifically circumvents the Statute of Limitations! And, since part of the conspiracy was the Biden FBI 2022 Raid on Mar-a-Lago, that justifies moving the case’s jurisdiction out of Commiecrat DC to Florida where a Grand Jury of normal people can be impaneled.

 

The odds of convictions Brennan, Comey, and more (dare we dream, even Barrack?) just seriously escalated. Sean Hannity discussed this with famed investigative reporter John Solomon last night:

 

DNI Gabbard gave us a preview of coming attractions today (7/18).  Notice who’s featured as the primary instigator:

Actually, we’re not quite done yet with yesterday (7/17).  It’s little wonder Chuckie Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries aren’t happy guys right about now.  Why so glum, guys?  Could it be this?  Democrats Hit Rock Bottom As Party Plummets To All-Time Low: Poll.

“Just 19% of voters questioned in a new national poll give Democrats in Congress a thumbs up on how they’re handling their duties, with 72% disapproving. That’s an all-time low since Quinnipiac University first began asking congressional approval questions in their surveys decades ago.”

 

Little wonder.  What have they got to say that’s positive and optimistic, what real solutions to anything have they got to offer?  They’re stuck with two-digit nutballs like AOC and Jasmine Crockett,  America-hating wackos like Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, on and revoltingly on.

It’s not just who they have in office, however – it’s their evil power-mad fascist ideology that has finally caught up with them after getting away with it for so long. White House Deputy Chief of Staff lays it out very clearly to Mark Levin on Monday (7/14):

The Dems and the Left find themselves in the voters’ trash can now because we have a President with the cojones to expose their perfidy and take full court 24/7 action to rid our country of that perfidy with a staff and Cabinet team determined to do so.

Investors might consider buying into the companies contracted to build out Alligator Alcatraz, as it’s about to get a lot bigger.

Enjoy reading this in Tuesday’s (7/15) Daily Mail: ICE Memo Reveals Trump’s Plan To Scrap Bond Hearings To Keep Millions Of Illegal Migrants Locked Up.

“Millions of migrants who entered the United States illegally will be forced to remain behind bars while their deportation proceedings continue for months or even years under a new Trump administration policy.

 

The acting director for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Todd M. Lyons, has told agents that migrants will no longer be eligible for a bond hearing and should be detained ‘for the duration of their removal proceedings.’

 

Lyons explained the Department of Homeland Security and Justice Department ‘revisited its legal position on detention and release authorities and determined that migrants may not be released from ICE custody.’ 

 

In the past, those who were marked for deportation have been able to request a bond hearing before a judge. If the judge granted the migrant a bond, he or she could be released into society as their deportation proceedings continued in the courts.

 

As of last year, the majority of the 7.6 million migrants on ICE’s docket were released, the agency’s annual report revealed. But under the new guidance, those migrants will be forced to remain in detention.”

 

Couple this with AP’s reporting Wednesday (7/16): Trump Administration Fires 17 Immigration Court Judges Across Ten States.

The firings come as the courts have been increasingly at the center of the Trump administration’s hardline immigration enforcement efforts with Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers arresting immigrants as they appear at court for proceedings. A judge will grant a government lawyer’s request to dismiss deportation proceedings against an immigrant. Meanwhile, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers are waiting in the hallway to arrest the person and put them on a fast track to deportation as soon as he or she leaves the courtroom.”

 

Realize that “immigration courts” are not courts at all, they are not any part of the judicial system state or federal.  They are administrative proceedings of an Executive Branch DOJ sub-agency EOIR (Executive Office for Immigration Review).  The “judges” are not real judges at all, they are administrative appointees employed by the Justice Dept.

So this is a masterful double-whammy to accelerate mass deportation of illegals that every normal American is clamoring for.  Dems are screaming that it will explode the prison/detention system.  Although the BBB allocates $45 billion over the next four years to lock up migrants for civil deportation proceedings (see what I mean in investing in those contractors building those lockups?), what will happen is mass self-deportation.

Rather than being hunted down by ICE and spending months or years in an Alligator Alcatraz (there will be many in a lot of states) waiting for a hearing, illegals get free travel back to their home country, forgiveness of all US fines, and $1000 cash all by filling out and complying with DHS’ CBP (Customs & Border Patrol) Assistance to Self-Deport Mobile App.

Kristi Noem, Tom Homan, POTUS himself, will be doing everything they can to incentivize with carrots and sticks with the goal of at least one million illegals a year (hopefully a lot more) will self-deport.  They have the money, the brains, and the determination to do it.

Remember this?  It’s from Skye’s Links 04/13/23 two years ago – Skye (Durk Pearson as you now know) entitled it “Scrooge McDuck Moves To Texas.”

That’s because he was celebrating the creation of the Texas Bullion Depository.  The website states:

“The facility will not only provide a secure place for individuals, business, cities, counties, government agencies and even other countries to store gold and other precious metals, the law also creates a mechanism to facilitate the everyday use of gold and silver in transactions. In short, a person will eventually be able to deposit gold or silver – and pay other people through electronic means or checks – in sound money…

 

Any U.S. citizen can set up an account online and then ship or personally deliver metal to the facility. The Texas Bullion Depository will accept gold, silver, platinum, rhodium and palladium… Ultimately, depositors will be able to use a bullion-funded debit card that seamlessly converts gold and silver to fiat currency in the background. This will enable them to make instant purchases wherever credit and debit cards are accepted.”

 

However…  that “ultimately” of a bullion-funded debit card to buy stuff required the Texas legislature to pass a law legally enabling it.  That’s what Durk dreamed of happening — we had many a conversation about what this would mean for the US economy. It would be revolutionary, we both agreed.

Well, it’s real.  On June 22, Gov. Abbott signed HB 1056 into law.  Here’s the story: Texas Brings Back Sound Money: HB 1056 Makes Gold and Silver Spendable.

“Under HB 1056, the state will build a digital payments platform that lets people store their precious metals and spend them just like cash. The system will convert the value of gold or silver into dollars at the point of sale, using real-time market prices. Texans will be able to swipe or tap a card, or possibly use a mobile app, to buy groceries, fill up their gas tank, or shop online, while their account draws from their gold or silver holdings instead of a checking account.

 

“Legal tender recognition takes effect May 2026… House Bill 1056 stands out as a rare example of a state using its constitutional authority to strengthen financial resilience and restore economic choice. It offers Texans and all US citizens a parallel system rooted in physical assets, one that can operate outside the vulnerabilities of the traditional banking sector. By transforming gold and silver into a functional, spendable medium of exchange, Texas is delivering more than symbolic reform. It is building an infrastructure of trust, transparency, and long-term value.”

 

Somewhere, Durk is shedding tears of joy.

But.. but.. how do you safely and dependably buy actual bullion gold or silver at the real spot price without paying the dealer a big markup, and know it will be sent to the Texas Bullion Depository – easily, simply, no hassle?

So let me tell you about a friend of mine, fellow TTPer Ira Bershatsky.  Ira’s company, Advisor Metals, does exactly what I just described.

If you’re interested in owning physical bullion gold or silver so you can set up an account at the Texas Bullion Depository with a bullion debit card, Ira’s your guy.  He’d love to talk to his fellow TTPers, so feel free to give him a call at 626-788-5770 or email him at [email protected].

OK, that’s wrap. Might as well close with some fun.  Turns out that Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and I are the same age!  Here are the Stones when they were just starting out.  When they performed at the British TAMI Show in 1964, they were only 20 years old.  They were amazing from the get-go.  Try to move like those audience kids (notice how clean-cut they are) – you’ll feel better for it.
