A man left a note after backing into a woman's car. Their text exchanges are peak wholesome.

People leave notes on strangers' cars for a host of reasons. Sometimes it's an anonymous compliment or word of encouragement. Sometimes it's a complaint about someone's parking. Sometimes it's a sales pitch for a car wash or legal services. Sometimes it's an apology for a woopsie—opening a car door or losing control of a shopping cart, dinging a stranger's vehicle. Often the note is where the communication ends—but not always. When a man left a note on a woman's car after accidentally backing into it, she responded to him by text and their exchange has people feeling a bit better about humanity. The exchange took place in early November 2024, the night after the incident, and it begins:"Hey Dan this is Katie—I got your note on my car last night. Honestly I don't really see any damage—maybe the license plate is slightly crunched? Did you just back straight into the front? I don't see anything else that wasn't already there. Unless my bumper randomly falls off while I'm driving today I think you're good. ? Thanks so much for leaving the note, I really appreciate it."First of all, Dan could have bailed after bumping her car and not left a note at all. Katie could have ignored the note and went on her merry way since she wasn't bothered by it. Or worse, she could have bilked Dan or his insurance company for money. Instead, we get to see two strangers in a wholesome exchange characterized by goodwill, good faith and good feels all around. Dan replied back: "Hi! I think I backed into your driver door. It wasn't too hard but it was late/dark so I really couldn't see much but it looked like I may have dented the door. I wasn't sure so I just wanted to leave my number."He wasn't even sure if he had damaged her car, but he left a note anyway.That's some seriously good karma there, Dan. Katie reassured him that it was already dented, to which Dan replied, "lol ? thank goodness I was like OH NO WHAT HAVE I DONE." Three cry laugh emojis from Katie, followed by, "You're totally fine. This car has 415,000 miles on it literally as long as it runs I do not care. Hope you have a great Sunday!" from MadeMeSmile Dan shared that he had gone to the liquor store on the corner to get a pen so he could leave the note because he felt terrible about the dent. "Thanks for being so great!" he wrote, adding that her car and she were "amazing.""Omg haha that's so nice! No worries at all," Katie responded. Then they wished one another a wonderful day. Let's just sit here for a moment and relish in how lovely and wholesome that whole thing was.People reacted by sharing similar stories of car incidents gone right."I had a kid leave me a note yeeeears ago on an old Chevy Malibu I was driving, and it said he’d hit my car and dented it, and to call him. I called him and said I couldn’t tell him which dent was his ? but that he was a good kid. We had a nice laugh together and I still think about him. I hope he still has those ethics and has had a wonderful life.""Once in college I was driving my beater 1995 Ford Escort during a snowstorm. I slid out of a parking lot right into a car slowly traveling down the snowy street - totally my fault. I jumped out and immediately apologized profusely. He was driving something equally beater-y, like a mid-90s civic or something. After a few seconds surveying the damage, he just said 'Look, I drive a piece of shit, you drive a piece of shit. I could really care less about this honestly, so let's just move along.' We shook hands and went about our days. 10/10 best fender-bender outcome.""Same thing a few years ago with my 2004 Explorer at a university parking lot. Someone left me a note saying they hit my car, but not which part. Spent 15 minutes trying to tell which scratch/dent was new before I texted them to not worry about it and thanks for the honesty."Some people tried to spin the exchange into a rom-com style meet cute, but Dan clarified in the comments that he is married. ( In fact, his wife was in the car with him when it happened—they were out on a date because of course they were.)This simple exchange between two genuinely good people with nothing to gain from being kind hit people right in their humanity. "You sir are what we need more of in society. Good old fashioned honest person with integrity. Good karma was returned to you for being honest.""She's a real one, too! She could have easily taken that omission about the door and milked it for cash money or put you through an insurance claim. Both of y'all seem like excellent people. This exchange really did make me smile!""This short little back in forth they provided us restored my faith in humanity. Both just being honest and chill.""What a nice post. Many people would see this as an opportunity to get money or the car fixed even if not OPs fault. But make OP pay. Love the thoughtfulness and honesty of Dan. And love the thoughtfulness and honesty of Katie!""Two lovely people. As you get older you learn to love these types of interactions with people more and more."In a world where bad behavior goes viral, here's to Dan and Katie for reminding us that people are so often genuinely kind and honest.

Oldest Home Depot employee in North America shares the key to living a happy life

We’ve all seen those videos where an influencer, posing as a regular joe, asks a person for help, and when that person does say yes to helping, the influencer repays that kindness with money, tickets to a game or some other amazing surprise. This is the content bread and butter for Youtuber Zachery Dereniowski, otherwise known as @mdmotivator, one of the main catalysts of this philanthropic viral trend. Dereniowski has tons of videos capturing the exact moment when unsuspecting strangers had their lives changed forever, all because their generosity was recognized. This time, our recipient ends up being the giver twice, thanks to the hard earned wisdom they depart. In the video, Dereniowski appears at a Home Depot, and asks the friendly employee there, David Frank, and asks him for a dollar to purchase a nail since he “left his wallet at home” (this is one of Dereniowski’s signature setups). After admitting he doesn't have any money from him, Frank asks Dereniowski what he needs the bolt for. When Dereniowski replies that it’s for his son’s desk, Frank not only decides he goes to pay for the bolt on his credit card, he marches back to the bolt aisle to select the right one for the job. “[Why] are you gonna help me?” Dereniowski asks. To which Frank replies, “well you’re stuck and you have a problem, so we’re gonna try to help you.” Plain and simple. It’s then we learn that only a week ago, an entire section of the Home Depot was cleared to celebrate Frank’s 100th birthday. He even made headlines as “The oldest Home Depot employee in North America.” Dereniowski then asks Frank, “what’s the key to living a long, healthy life?” “Treat the world like your family,” says Frank. “Be nice to them. Be sensible. That’s all.” @mdmotivator “I am 100 years old” ?❤️ #kindness #homedepot #help #money #support #surprise #wholesome ♬ original sound - Zachery Dereniowski Yep, we pretty much just got a Mister Rogers moment IRL. But Franks’s words are more than just platitudes. Research has indeed indicated that kindness can lead to longevity by giving us a sense of purpose, helping us connect to others and (perhaps most science-y of all) keeping inflammation levels down. But honestly, no amount of supporting evidence can really compare to how good we feel when being kind, compassionate and generous. Clearly sticking to his message, when Dereniowski admits he did actually have his wallet with him and hands over $1000, Frank says that he’ll use the money to help another stranger. After he recovers from being stunned, that is. Aside from getting a surprise grand, interactions like these are all in a day’s work for Frank. In his interview with Windsor Star, the centenarian shared that he enjoys his job because he gets to meet people and help solve their problems, saying “it keeps me busy and in the loop.” While there are certainly pros and cons to working after retirement age, this certainly shows how keeping busy can be beneficial. Not just busy, but mission oriented. As for whether or not Frank plans to quit anytime soon, it seems he’s prioritizing “staying active.” “What would I do? Sit at home and end up getting blisters on my rear end?” he told the Windsor star. “No way. I would never want to (spend) it that way.”That’s the spirit, Frank. Here’s to another go round the sun.

Dad who can't swim rescues his toddler when their car is engulfed by flood waters

Flooding can be extremely dangerous, especially flash flooding that seems to come out of nowhere during a torrential downpour. That type of flooding can be deceiving because it can take over roads so quickly that you don't realize it's flooded as badly as it is. Navigating flooding roads with your young child in the backseat is a recipe for a panic attack if things go wrong. During a particularly nasty downpour, a new dad found himself in a stressful situation with his 11-month-old toddler while attempting to make their way home. Andre Randles lives in England with his partner Paige Newsome and their child Luca. The town had been getting snow and pretty significant rain which led to Randles being sent on another route due to road closures. But the road closures sent him on a course that resulted in driving straight into a flooded area with no way to turn around. The water covered road he and his baby were on had an unexpected and sudden dip in it which resulted in the vehicle sinking quickly. Randles didn't have time to think, just act and it's a good thing, too. The father of one doesn't know how to swim and the realization that he and his child could drown if swimming were required may have caused him to freeze with fear."As soon as I saw danger, saw the water coming into the car and we were no longer floating and starting to sink, something switched in me. I thought I needed to get out and get Luca out," Randles tells the BBC. That's exactly what he did. Randles rolled down the car windows climbing out before pulling his baby out through the back window in water that came to the man's chest. It was mere seconds before the entire car was almost completely submerged in the flood waters. Giphy Randles recalls to SkyNews, "I saw the water rising and it just clicked in my head I need to get me and my baby out of here safe so I wound down the window, climbed out wound down his window pulled him out and the water was about chest high. So I carried him above my head to make sure he hasn't touched any of the water or anything to try to keep him dry and warm."The deep flood waters took Randles by surprise as he shares with SkyNews that he didn't feel like it was raining heavily at the time and had driven in much heavier rain. Pictures of the vehicle began to spread on social media which prompted Newsome to comment on one of them identifying the family's vehicle. fathers day cute baby GIF Giphy "This is our car, such a scary experience for my partner having to pull our 11 month old baby whilst the water was flooding into the car," the young mom reveals. "Calderdale Council need to sort this out ASAP! They have been getting notified about this part of Woodhouse Road multiple times by the owners of the house next to wear our car is parked."The entire ordeal terrified the young family, "just imagine if my partner didn’t think fast enough to get the windows open to climb out and then get my son out. I dread to think," Newsome shares in another comment about her car. The area where this happened is prone to flooding according to residents interviewed by news stations local to them, and residents who comment on the Calderdale Council Facebook page. They've been asking for something to do be done to address the excessive flooding but so far they haven't had much luck. Thankfully for Randles, he was able to escape the flooding and seek temporary refuge with a nearby resident who allowed them to get dry while waiting for rescue vehicles to reach them. "To think that I could've actually lost them both makes me a bit emotional, yeah it's really scary. It's just a horrible thing to think about isn't it," Newsome reflects to the outlet. Horrible indeed, hopefully the family never has to experience such a close call like this again and baby Luca will remain none the wiser.

Jim Rickards Explains How We Get To $23,000/ounce Gold

Are you ready for Gold at $23,000/ounce? Not today and probably not tomorrow, but it could definitely get there, says Jim Rickards — it’s just simple math.   More on that “one thing” in just a minute…. And in case you don’t know who Jim Rickards is or why I am suggesting it’s smart to listen to what he has to say, here’s a short bio: Jim Rickards is a highly respected American lawyer, economist, investment banker, and author known for his expertise in global finance, financial warfare, and risk management. With over 35 years of experience in capital markets and national security, Rickards has become a prominent voice in macroeconomic forecasting, advising top-level government and private sector organizations. Career Highlights and Expertise Jim Rickards has a distinguished career that spans roles as a senior managing director at Long-Term Capital Management (LTCM), a hedge fund known for its complex trading strategies and management of substantial assets. He played a pivotal role during the 1998 financial crisis, negotiating on behalf of LTCM with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and leading a private-sector rescue plan. His experience during this time provided him with unique insights into systemic risk and financial contagion, which he has since applied to his work in financial risk management and advisory roles. He also served as a principal negotiator for the rescue of LTCM and later as a principal in various advisory and consulting firms, where he advised government entities, including the U.S. Department of Defense and the CIA, on financial threats and economic security. His work has made him a trusted expert on the application of complexity theory, market intelligence, and risk analysis in global financial markets. Market Predictions and Accurate Forecasts Jim Rickards has built a reputation for his prescient forecasts and insightful analyses of global economic trends: 2008 Financial Crisis: Rickards accurately predicted the 2008 financial crisis well before it occurred, based on his understanding of systemic risk and the unstable nature of derivative markets. His insights were crucial for many investors and institutions in navigating the crisis. Quantitative Easing (QE) Policies: Rickards forecasted the prolonged use of Quantitative Easing by the Federal Reserve and the potential consequences of such policies, including currency debasement and a lack of sustainable economic growth. His analysis has been cited widely in financial circles for its accuracy and depth. Euro Crisis and Potential Breakup: Rickards has been a vocal analyst of the European debt crisis and the challenges facing the Eurozone. He correctly anticipated many of the critical stress points within the Eurozone, including Greece’s economic collapse and the ongoing issues with sovereign debt. Gold’s Bull Market: Rickards has long been an advocate for gold as a hedge against economic uncertainty and fiat currency depreciation. His predictions regarding the rise of gold prices in the context of global economic volatility have been consistently accurate, providing valuable insights for investors seeking safe-haven assets. Rise of De-Dollarization Trends: Rickards has also been ahead of the curve in predicting global moves away from the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency, discussing the potential implications for international trade, finance, and geopolitical power dynamics. Books and Publications Jim Rickards is the author of several best-selling books that have been well-received for their clarity, depth, and strategic insights into global finance: “Currency Wars: The Making of the Next Global Crisis” (2011): This book, which became an instant bestseller, provides a detailed analysis of how currency wars could lead to broader economic conflict and instability. “The Death of Money: The Coming Collapse of the International Monetary System” (2014): In this widely acclaimed work, Rickards outlines his thesis on the impending collapse of the international monetary system, which has been praised for its foresight and compelling arguments. “The Road to Ruin: The Global Elites’ Secret Plan for the Next Financial Crisis” (2016): This book delves into the mechanisms of financial warfare and offers an in-depth examination of how global elites might prepare for future financial crises. “Aftermath: Seven Secrets of Wealth Preservation in the Coming Chaos” (2019): This publication provides actionable strategies for investors to protect and grow their wealth amid economic uncertainty. Awards and Accolades Throughout his career, Jim Rickards has received numerous accolades for his contributions to economic thought and financial analysis. He is a frequent guest on financial news programs such as CNBC, Bloomberg, and Fox Business, where his insights and forecasts are highly valued by audiences and financial professionals alike. His writings have also been published in leading financial journals, including The Financial Times, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal. Thought Leadership and Influence Jim Rickards is a highly sought-after speaker and has delivered keynote addresses at various global economic forums, including the Bretton Woods Committee, where he discussed the future of the international monetary system. His lectures and presentations provide audiences with a clear understanding of complex financial concepts and actionable insights on how to navigate global economic challenges. I told you, he’s a very impressive guy! So when Jim Rickards speaks, I listen….and then report to you! And here he is explaining how the math is simple and $23,000/oz gold is essentially pre-programmed: “If confidence in the dollar were undermined and you had to resort to #gold to restore confidence, you can’t just pick a number … So what would the number be? The answer is around $23,000 an ounce.” Interview with @JamesGRickards is up TOMORROW. pic.twitter.com/BCQQ7uTSyV — Jesse Day (@jessebday) November 12, 2024 Backup video here if needed: Jim Rickards says $23,000/ounce GOLD is coming….it’s all in the math! https://t.co/X3EdVrIHAS pic.twitter.com/3OFVtdRIYK — Noah Christopher (@DailyNoahNews) November 26, 2024 It’s actually not the first time he’s said something like this….

Are you seeing the dots connect now? REPORT: Central Banks Preparing To “Revalue Gold” Price Evidence is mounting that Central Banks are preparing to revalue the price of Gold. Sound crazy? It’s not, and it just shows you don’t know your history, because it’s happened before and evidence is building that it’s about to happen again. I’ll give you a very detailed analysis of how and why that might happen in just a minute, but first I simply want you to listen to this: WOW! The BIS and central banks worldwide continue to accumulate gold reserves, setting the stage for a gold revaluation in 2024! The merger of physical gold and blockchain will redefine wealth in ways we could never have imagined! #XRP pic.twitter.com/p7gdkN53CP — ??????

(@_Crypto_Barbie) January 22, 2024 Note that this video was originally posted in January of 2024, so we have the benefit of looking back with a little bit of hindsight and guess what?  Everything he’s said has played out EXACTLY like he predicted in 2024. The only piece that hasn’t get happened is the revaluation of gold, but I believe that’s coming soon. In fact, here are the exact specs for how it would happen, direct from the Federal Reserve’s own papers: Here’s your #Gold Revaluation Proof. Financial Accounting Manual for Federal Reserve Banks The Treasury Secretary can instruct the Fed to revalue the Gold on the U.S. government’s Balance sheet, it will likely be revalued to over $20,000 per OZ.Boom. It’s coming. Page 13 -… pic.twitter.com/Mh0BnoIWoK — Vandell | Black Swan Capitalist (@vandell33) June 24, 2024 Next I thought it might be fun to ask ChatGPT if revaluing the price of gold is possible and if so how it would work?  I also asked for it to rate the likelihood of a gold revaluation happening.  SPOILER ALERT: likelihood = “Moderate to Highly Likely”! Take a look for yourself: How Central Banks Might Revalue the Price of Gold Gold Revaluation Mechanism: Central banks have the power to revalue gold because they hold significant reserves and can directly impact its price through coordinated policies. Here’s how it might work: Coordinated Buying or Selling: Central banks can collaborate to purchase or sell gold in the open market. By significantly increasing demand through coordinated buying, they could drive up the price. Conversely, selling gold could decrease its price, although central banks are more likely to use buying as a tool to increase gold’s value. Setting a Fixed Price: Central banks could announce a new fixed price for gold, signaling their intention to buy or sell gold at that price to maintain it. This method was used during the Bretton Woods system, where the U.S. dollar was pegged to gold at $35 per ounce, and other currencies were pegged to the dollar. Adjusting Reserve Requirements: Central banks could require higher reserves of gold relative to other assets, forcing banks and financial institutions to hold more gold. This would naturally increase demand and push the price upward. Creating a Gold-Backed Digital Currency: Central banks might introduce a digital currency partially backed by gold. The announcement or launch of such a currency would increase demand for gold as a reserve asset, driving up its value. Reasons for Revaluation: Central banks might consider revaluing gold for several reasons: Stabilizing Currencies: In times of fiat currency instability, revaluing gold could help anchor the value of currencies by increasing confidence in gold-backed reserves. Combatting Inflation: Revaluing gold could act as a tool against inflation by providing a hard asset alternative, reducing the money supply’s velocity, and curbing inflationary pressures. Geopolitical Shifts: In a scenario where the U.S. dollar’s dominance is challenged, countries might seek to revalue gold as a neutral reserve asset to reduce dependency on the dollar. Likelihood of Central Banks Revaluing Gold First Principles Analysis: To determine the likelihood of central banks working together to revalue gold, let’s break down the problem using first principles: Observation 1: Current Gold Holdings and Trends: Many central banks, especially in emerging markets (e.g., China, Russia, India), have been increasing their gold reserves over the past decade. They are diversifying away from U.S. dollar-denominated assets due to geopolitical tensions and concerns about the dollar’s long-term stability. According to the World Gold Council, central banks purchased a significant amount of gold in 2022 and 2023, highlighting a trend toward greater gold accumulation. Observation 2: Potential Motivations for Revaluation: Currency Stability and Inflation Control: With inflation concerns persisting globally, central banks might look for ways to strengthen their currencies. Revaluing gold could serve as a hedge against inflation. Geopolitical Realignments: Rising geopolitical tensions, such as the U.S.-China trade war and Russia’s exclusion from the Western financial system, suggest a search for alternatives to the U.S. dollar. Gold, being a neutral asset, could be a strategic choice. Observation 3: Current Economic Conditions and Constraints: The global economic environment shows significant volatility, with rising inflation, concerns about debt sustainability, and shifts in global power structures. Fiat Currency Defensiveness: Central banks of major economies (e.g., the Federal Reserve, European Central Bank) might resist actions that could undermine confidence in fiat currencies. A move to revalue gold significantly might indicate a loss of control over fiat systems, something major powers would be reluctant to signal. Challenges to Coordinated Revaluation: Coordination Complexity: Coordinating among the world’s major central banks (such as the Federal Reserve, ECB, PBOC, and Bank of Russia) would be highly complex, considering divergent economic interests and geopolitical dynamics. Market Reaction and Trust Issues: Sudden revaluation could lead to significant market volatility, impacting bonds, equities, and currencies, potentially causing unintended consequences that might hurt the economies involved. Gold Market Dynamics: The global gold market is influenced by more than just central banks—mining output, jewelry demand, and private investment also play substantial roles. Central banks do not control the entire market, making coordinated action less effective. Real-World Evidence and Indicators Gold Accumulation by Central Banks: As mentioned, there has been a noticeable increase in gold reserves by countries like China, Russia, India, and Turkey. These countries are keen on reducing reliance on the U.S. dollar, which is a strong signal toward preferring a gold standard or using gold as a hedge. Digital Currencies and Gold-Backed Tokens: There has been interest from countries like Russia and China in exploring digital currencies, potentially backed by gold. This would serve as a hedge against sanctions and currency devaluation, indirectly affecting gold’s value. Current Geopolitical Instability: The rising U.S.-China tensions, sanctions against Russia, and the de-dollarization trend could accelerate the need for a more neutral reserve asset like gold. However, outright revaluation requires a more coordinated effort, which seems challenging given the fractured geopolitical environment. Conclusion: Likelihood Assessment Based on first principles thinking and real-world evidence: Short-term Likelihood: Low. While there is a strong case for revaluing gold, especially among countries looking to diversify from the U.S. dollar, the likelihood of a coordinated effort among major central banks remains low. The complexity of coordination, resistance from major fiat currency holders, and the potential for destabilizing markets make it an unlikely near-term scenario. Medium to Long-term Likelihood: Moderate to High. If current trends of de-dollarization continue, geopolitical tensions rise, or inflation remains persistently high, the incentive for central banks to explore a partial or full gold revaluation could increase. This scenario would require new financial crises or significant geopolitical shifts to become a reality. In essence, while the groundwork for a potential revaluation is being laid in a fragmented way by some central banks, the prospect of a unified, coordinated revaluation is remote in the current global context. However, watch for changes in global economic stability, inflationary trends, and geopolitical dynamics as key indicators of a shift toward gold revaluation in the future. Of course, none of this surprises me…. I’ve been telling you about Gold for a while now, and our analysis so far has been spot on! So….what can YOU do about it? I’ve been telling you for a while now, and perhaps this is the “sign” you need to finally take action! First, you need to watch what the big boys are doing and understand it’s smart to ride their coattails. I think we accomplished that above. Second, here’s my preferred solution for owning gold. Why preferred? A couple reasons…. I’m not a CPA or tax advisor or even an investment advisor of any kind, but the folks I’m about to tell you about are experts at this. They’re patriots… They’ll give you personalized, one-on-one attention by phone…. And they’ll show you how you can do this with NO MONEY OUT OF POCKET — all in a retirement account and usually tax free! How’s that for a win-win-win? So what can you do? THIS!  Here’s Why Central Banks Are Buying All the Gold They Can — And What YOU Can Do! For the last two years, central banks across the globe have been buying up as much gold (and often silver) as they can acquire without raising alarm bells. Now, we see why. The recent bank runs and ongoing collapse of the U.S. banking system was anticipated by the “elites” and the central bankers who run things behind the scenes. They saw it coming and knew the best way to protect their assets was through physical precious metals. If you’ve been waiting for me to bring you a solution about what YOU can do to protect yourself and you’re family, I’m happy to introduce you to something I absolutely love! Precious metals. I just talked about precious metals this week with Bo Polny and now I’m bringing you a solution that you can utilize right away if you’re so inclined… A faith-driven, conservative precious metals company is currently helping Americans tap into the rising precious metals market through self-directed IRAs backed by physical precious metals. And while this service is not unique to Genesis, their adherence to Biblical stewardship of money makes them singularly qualified to receive a sponsored recommendation from this site. Unlike most companies offering similar services, Genesis deals only with physical precious metals. They do not offer “virtual” or “paper” gold or silver. With Genesis and their depositories, customers can see and touch the precious metals that back their retirement accounts. When it comes time to take distributions, Genesis customers can cash in some or all of their precious metals or have them delivered to their door. Central bankers aren’t slowing down. In fact, nations like China and even U.S. states like Tennessee are quickly but quietly buying up gold to back their own treasuries. When the writing on the wall is this clear, it’s understandable why these governments are moving quickly to get ahead of any potential economic catastrophes in store.

One disappointed customer had paid but the membership pick-up said it was out.” Others had no idea Costco sold gold: Buying gold at Costco is great for those who have extra cash on hand — but what about those of us with money tied up in retirement accounts?

Oh, and did you know SUPERMAN loves them too? Yup! Here is what conservative star Dean Cain (Superman) says about working with Genesis Gold Group: When Genesis Gold Group was first built, co-founder Jonathan Rose knew two things were necessary in order to thrive in the extremely competitive precious metals industry. First, he knew they wouldn’t repeat the same deceptive marketing tactics “Big Gold” companies use to entice customers. Second, he knew they needed spiritual guidance if they were going to succeed in reaching Americans who want their life’s savings protected from the tumultuous markets. “If we are going to live up to our namesake, we have to be truly driven by Biblical principles… not only as individuals but as a company,” Rose said. Millions of Americans have grown increasingly concerned about the trajectory of our nation. It made sense for Genesis Gold Group to launch by combining over 50-years of experience in gold and silver with proper guidance from faith leaders. This is why Director of Philanthropy David Holland, was one of the first people they hired. “As a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, I firmly believe good stewardship of a believer’s resources is important and a foundation for a close walk with Him,” Holland said. “It is not difficult to see, based on the lack of biblical values in both our government and financial system, that we are swiftly heading into unstable times.” The challenges aren’t just coming from the economy or government. The precious metals industry itself is rife with “Big Gold” companies who are willing to use sketchy marketing tactics and over-the-top sales pressure to get Americans into overpriced products. Self-directed IRAs backed by physical precious metals are becoming more popular for mature Americans who are concerned about inflation, unsustainable debt, the ongoing banking crisis, and “woke” ESG funds filling their retirement portfolios. Click here to reach out to Genesis Gold Group today. The challenge, as Rose noted, is that the vast majority of self-directed IRA products being pushed by “Big Gold” are not built with the customers’ best interests in mind. “The process appears to be the same from one gold company to another but there’s a huge gap between how secular gold companies do business versus how we do it,” Rose said. “We guide our clients to back their retirement accounts with metals that are priced right and have the greatest opportunity for growth. Most gold companies look only at their own margins when filling their customers’ depositories.” ==>Click here to contact Genesis Gold Group today and receive a free Definitive Gold Guide and learn more about protecting your life’s savings from the various threats we’re facing today.

FBI Agent Arrested – Faces Accusations Of Luring Women To Tattoo Shop Before Sexually Assaulting Them

An FBI agent faces accusations of luring women to a tattoo shop in Maryland before sexually assaulting them. Eduardo Valdivia, 40, was arrested on Monday and allegedly contacted his victims through an Instagram account for a tattoo parlor in Gaithersburg, police said. According to the Associated Press, Valdivia used aliases such as Lalo Brown and “El Boogie.” Both alleged victims reportedly said they went to the tattoo shop under the impression of receiving “free tattoos and modeling work.” “The FBI takes allegations of criminal violations and misconduct very seriously. We are aware of the matter involving the recent arrest of an FBI employee and are fully cooperating with the Montgomery County Police Department,” an FBI spokesperson said.

Both women told police that they feared Valdivia would have caused them more harm if they tried to resist or leave, according to a police affidavit. Valdivia presented the women with modeling contracts and threatened to take legal action if they didn’t return to model for him, Augustine said. Police detectives suspect that Valdivia may have sexually assaulted other women under similar circumstances, according to the assistant chief. “I would like to thank the victims that did come forward. They have now stopped this contact going on in our community and being brave to come forward to notify the police about what was going on, which most likely saved other people from being victimized,” Augustine said.

FBI agent acquitted in 2020 train shooting arrested in Maryland for alleged sexual assault against 2 women https://t.co/wsxez575nk — Fox News (@FoxNews) November 26, 2024 Per Fox News: Valdivia was previously charged with attempted second-degree murder and other charges in connection with a 2020 off-duty shooting aboard a Metro Red Line train near Bethesda, Maryland, but was acquitted two years later. He had allegedly engaged in a verbal exchange with a man who approached him asking for money. When Valdivia declined to give him any money, the man allegedly muttered expletives before turning away. Then, Valdivia shot the man from a distance of roughly two to three feet after repeatedly telling the man to back up, county prosecutor Robert Hill said in court. The wounded man had part or all of his spleen, colon and pancreas removed during surgery following the shooting, Hill said. The FBI agent was later charged with attempted second-degree murder, first-degree assault, firearm use in a violent crime and reckless endangerment. Valdivia turned himself in after he was indicted in 2021, but a jury found him not guilty of all charges last December. Now, Valdivia faces new felony and misdemeanor charges, including two counts of second-degree rape, over alleged incidents in May and September of this year, according to court records. WATCH:
