Stocks came in wobbly, and went up and down in their usual willful way.  

Down they went and a proper selloff was averted, once again, with some obvious propping into the close.

Gold and silver sustained an early smackdown, but in the end gained some ground.

The Dollar fell rather sharply and obviously.

There will be a Non-Farm Payrolls report this coming Friday.

Lawlessness and self-dealing is the fashion of the day, with a heavy dose of malignant narcissism. 

Crimes again international law and humanity are defended with duplicity and hypocrisy.  

The Constitution itself is battered by money and the will to power.

How all this will end only God knows. But these things rarely end anywhere but badly.

History is incredulous at servile lack of decency and willful collaboration in the face of madness.

"Why do German people behave so apathetically in the face of all these abominable crimes, crimes so unworthy of the human race?   The German people slumber on in their dull, stupid sleep and encourage these fascist criminals; they give them the opportunity to carry on their depredations; and of course they do so. 

Is this a sign that the Germans are brutalized in their simplest human feelings, that no chord within them cries out at the sight of such deeds, that they have sunk into a fatal consciencelessness from which they will never, never awake?"

And yet despite all this, the world though fallen is redeemed. 

Have a pleasant evening.
