here is what i gleen from the article:

people have been purchasing gold because they are afraid of the economy.

appears that all of the arab world is in chaos...oh yea, that is where we get our oil.

the u.s. dollar is "third world."

--Perhaps buying oil stock would be better than buying gold (which has a huge mark-up by those who sell it and you need to store it somewhere or get it stolen).

---I live in West Texas... maybe you should vist... sure are a lot of rigs and pump-jacks out here... seems like we get a lot of our oil from here too.

So you want us to read 2 outwardly conservative blogs and then read the website from the International Centre for Islamic Information? What the hell are you smoking? Are you serious?

Dude, don't complain... that's a HUGE upgrade from what he used to link to.

i lived in ward county for six years so i know about all the rigs. the problem is the restrictions that the fed govt places on oil companies pumping the crude. heck, in pecos county (not to be confused with the city of pecos) there are wells that are free flowing. i guess you know what that means. the oil companies can not pump the crude in the northeast corner of alaska. why??? why, all the government restrictions do you think?? in the obama 2012 budget there is a new oil company tax of $4/acre of idle oil land. heck, there are still restrictions in the gulf. the govt is doing what they can to reduce oil production.

you know as much as i do that high gold prices indicate a weak dollar.

obama did say that he wants to tear down the current govt and start again.

the signs are out there all you have to do is connect the dots.

--Not sure exactly what you mean by government restrictions... but a lot of government regulation was caused by oil comapanies.. Check out Texon (ghost-town) The ground is so poluted, weeds won't grow. There is a big lawsuit on the south edge of Midland now.... the water is so contaminated that it really isn't safe for people or even cows to drink (comtaminates the meat)... same chemical as appeared in "Erin Bronkovitch" movie. Even it the centre of town (now) there is an area near the hospital that the groundwater is so bad that it can't be pumped out for yard use. There are some streams out here that are damed up so the water coming down them doesn't reach lakes, they sit and evaporate. People get upset about government regulations.... but when you look at the past you begin to understand why they do this... now the playing field is somwhat level and the bad companies have to do what the responsible ones did. Not much of this is happening now but happened before government regulations were put into place. The same goes with federal safety regulations as well.... some companies just took short cuts and didn't care. They caused them to exist...

      A very good NIL message from Coach Morris

      Might be one of the best statements he's made about NT Football.

      Morris to UVA! Going to be a tough year for him

      Tell us who else had a payroll to meet that was hidden by the Governor of Texas? After having been on probation several times before this...

      JUCO players will have 4 years NCAA eligibility remaining

      The UT Athletic Department will just get treated as a corporation, saying funds received to it are voluntary, even if tax-deductible. And no politician will touch this, knowing how quickly they'd get hammered for hurting State U's football team and its funding.

      Transfer portal is killing P4 as well as G5

      You know, the playoff system to create a champion is better, but I still loved the way CFB was when conferences were regional, they had their champion tied into a specific bowl game, there weren't so many spare bowls featuring matchups that nobody cares about between 6-6 teams, and each season, the end of the year was talking about who had the better resume if this team loses or wins in their bowl game. I grew up loving the SWC and the Big Eight. Each year, the goal was to make it to Dallas or Miami and see where the chips fell. You were neighbors and friends with grads of those schools. I'm sure it was the same in the old version of the SEC and the ACC. It was just a fun time--and if things went great, the Cotton Bowl, the Orange Bowl, the Sugar Bowl, or the Rose Bowl would be for a national title. But if not, you watched them all because the games mattered in the big scheme of it all and they were on all day and night on New Years Day, along with the Fiesta Bowl, and then, later, the Citrus Bowl for the ACC Champ. Its a bygone era, no doubt, but the games had great coaches all over the country and players we got to know over the years. Yes, there was plenty of cheating, and yes, the big boys controlled the game, but it was more fun. Whatever it is we have today, I feel sorry for people who think CFB today is more enjoyable to follow and support. They probably think we are olds that have Good Ol Day Syndrome and that is fine. I can't really refute any of that. But it was a sport I and many of my age (50s now) loved and followed intensely. Today, we are dropping out very quickly, as we see the farce the portal and NIL are making of this great sport. Very sad...

      It's going to be interesting to see how the taxpayers see this (for state schools, N/A for private). Similar to the concerns regarding spending local tax $'s to build NFL stadiums, using tax dollars to run a minor league FB team may stir some controversy. I may be wrong since I don't keep up with all of the latest media payouts, etc, but I think there's not a lot of schools that actually make money on athletics (and this is BEFORE we start paying them directly). https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/research/Finances/2023RES_DI-RevExpReport_FINAL.pdf If UT essentially starts running a minor league FB team out of the school and makes money, should the tax payers expect a refund or cut in taxes directed to UT? What if they're losing money?
