America Can't Secure Its Future On Imported Minerals Authored by Jack Bergman via RealClearPolitics.com, If the past few years taught us anything, it’s that national security no longer stops at the water’s edge or the factory gate. It runs through the mines, mills, refineries, and logistics networks that supply the metals inside our jets, ships, satellites, power grid, and the next generation of energy technologies. Copper, nickel, cobalt, and other critical minerals aren’t just components of consumer gadgets; they are the sinews of American strength. And yet, for far […]

China's Sacked Top General Accused Of Leaking Nuclear Secrets To US: Report On Saturday morning the world woke up to news that China's most senior military officer, who is second only to Xi Jinping, has been put under investigation over alleged "grave violations of discipline and the law."  The detained Gen. Zhang Youxia is a vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, the Communist Party body that controls China's armed forces, and this was a major shock given he is widely regarded as President Xi's closest ally within the military, until now. Another shock is just […]

JD Vance Notes Something Very Important About Minneapolis Chaos Authored by 'sundance' via The Last Refuge, Last week CPB commander Greg Bovino was asked what makes Minneapolis different from other cities where ICE enforcement operations have taken place. Bovino noted in the Minneapolis region there is no separation between the extremists on the ground and the people in local government. Today, Vice President JD Vance concurs and expands on that sentiment: [Source] What Vice-President Vance says here is very important.  The regional government is a stakeholder in […]

From Vibrancy To Vacancy: America's Going, Going Gone! Authored by Jim Quinn via The Burning Platform blog, I hate shopping. I hate crowds. I hate malls. I don’t believe I had entered a mall in over a decade, until Monday. My visit to the once vibrant Montgomery Mall in Montgomeryville, PA was a shocking confirmation of what I had been predicting about retail stores since 2008. Next to the term Dead Mall in the dictionary should be a picture of the current version of the Montgomery Mall. If you need visual proof, here is brief video showing how it is deader than ever. […]

President Trump To Skip Super Bowl, Slams Halftime Show With Bad Bunny, Green Day Trump made history last year as the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl when he showed up at the game in New Orleans, but on Saturday, he announced he won’t be attending this year.  Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump blasted the NFL for choosing Bad Bunny and Green Day as halftime performers. Trump told the New York Post that the halftime act represents "a terrible choice" that only serves to "sow hatred." He confirmed his absence from the game at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, […]

Supreme Court Orders CA Dems To Justify 'Prop 50' Maps Authored by Susan Crabtree via RealClearPolitics, The Supreme Court on Thursday gave California Democrats a week to respond to the California Republican Party’s request to block the new Democrat-drawn congressional district maps from being used in November. The request for a response, issued by Justice Elena Kagan, who is handling the emergency-injunction request for the court, surprised many court watchers. Given that the justices allowed Texas Republicans’ gerrymandered map to stand, most thought the Supreme Court […]

Cuba Charges US With Imposing 'Marine Siege' For 'Piracy' Of Its Oil Imports A Cuban diplomat has accused Washington of "international piracy" as the US moves to choke off Venezuelan oil supplies to the island following the Jan.3rd Pentagon operation that led to the ouster and abduction of President Nicolás Maduro. Carlos de Céspedes, Cuba's ambassador to Colombia, told Al Jazeera on Saturday that the United States has effectively imposed a "marine siege" on Cuba and that this is the most threatening and serious action imposed by Washington in decades. via Prensa Latina […]

"Do The Right Thing": President Trump Urges "Common Sense" From Democrats Amid the escalating violence in Minnesota, we calmly ask you to cast your mind back a few years - we know it's hard, but just try... President Obama gave his ICE chief an award for deporting 409,000 illegals (in 2012). President Trump's ICE chief has deported 290,000 (in 2025) and he is called a Nazi. The ICE chief... the same guy - Tom Homan. The difference is Democrats' rhetoric and the industrial crisis-manufacturing complex. And that is why President Trump is calling for some "common sense" from […]

What The Left Doesn't Want You To Know About Alex Pretti, The Man That Border Patrol Shot Mainstream media outlets rushed to paint Alex Pretti as a blameless ICU nurse gunned down by heartless Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis on Saturday. They highlighted his work caring for veterans and seized on video snippets showing him holding a phone. The New York Times ran with that angle, running the headline “Man Killed by Federal Agents in Minneapolis Was Holding a Phone, Not a Gun,” and claimed that footage captured Pretti only with his phone in hand, insisting that agents had […]

Maybe Truflation Is On To Something By Peter Tchir of Academy Securities The Fed On the betting apps, it looks like Rick Rieder has become the odds on favorite to win. I like the idea of mixing things up at the Fed and think that having a market practitioner in charge would be an interesting change. If he gets the nomination, expect more of a focus across the yield curve (our view all along of how the Fed will operate in 2026). The balance sheet is less likely to be used as a blunt, lumbering tool (prescribed amounts for well-telegraphed time periods), but rather something to […]

Heavily Shorted USA Rare Earth To Soar After US Govt Takes 10% Stake It was last July 9, when we told readers all about "The Coming Rare Earth Revolution And How To Profit: All You Need To Know About The "Ex-China Supply Chain." It was here that we said MP Materials (and to a lesser extent USA Rare Earth Corp) was best positioned to capitalize as global rare earth trade flows and pricing adjust over the coming years (also, as a reference, that's when USA Rare Earth was trading below $10/share). One day later, anyone who listened to our advice made their year, when MP Materials […]

California's Billionaire Tax: A Mirror Of EU Green Socialism Submitted by Thomas Kolbe The mid-19th century Gold Rush earned California the nickname “Golden State.” Over generations, the region became a place of aspiration— a projection screen for ambition and prosperity. Here, the American Dream coalesced into tangible stories of social mobility. Today, the state has become the stage for a political experiment that mirrors Europe’s globalist ideology. This year’s World Economic Forum in Davos was entirely overshadowed by Donald Trump’s speech. The U.S. President […]

Scientists Pioneer Reverse Solar Panels To Create Energy At Night By Haley Zaremba of OilPrice Scientists at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) are developing a "reverse solar" panel, called a thermoradiative diode, which generates electricity by emitting infrared light (heat) into cold surroundings. The device works by capturing heat absorbed by the Earth during the day and radiating it out at night, offering a way to generate power when traditional solar panels are inactive. While currently producing a small amount of power, the long-term goal for this […]

Transtifa 'Kyle' Instructs Comrades In Minneapolis: "Get Your F**king Guns, Stop These F**king People"  About one year ago, the Federal Bureau of Investigation Counterterrorism Division conducted an unclassified briefing warning of an emerging domestic threat vector described as "nihilistic accelerationism." The briefing was around the time of a series of attacks in which left-wing militants firebombed Tesla vehicles at showrooms. These attacks were largely in response to President Donald Trump and Elon Musk's crusade against the federal bureaucracy through DOGE-related […]

"Befuddled By The Insanity Swirling Around Me..." Authored by Jim Quinn via The Burning Platform blog, Fake It Until You Make It “My first rule: I don’t believe anything the government tells me.” — George Carlin The government reported CPI of “only” 2.7% and the financial pundits and Trump toadies celebrated the “lowest inflation in 5 years”. This is after “surprisingly good” unemployment report where the country added 50,000 jobs and the unemployment rate fell to 4.4%. Of course, they also revealed every month in 2025 had been revised downward. EVERY […]

Schumer: Democrats 'Will Not Allow' DHS Funding Bill To Move Forward Update (1603ET): Chuck Schumer is out with a new statement explicitly refusing to move forward with DHS funding as part of the six-part spending package to avert a government shutdown.  "Senate Democrats will not allow the current DHS funding bill to move forward," he said, adding "Senate Republicans must work with Democrats to advance the other five funding bills while we work to rewrite the DHS bill."  *  *  * With Congress already veering towards a shutdown this Friday after Senate Democrats vowed […]

Investment Risk Is Underappreciated Authored by Lance Roberts via RealInvestmentAdvice.com, Investment Risk Is Underappreciated There’s an old parable worth remembering, especially when it comes to investment risk and the markets. Once upon a time, there was a young shepherd who was tasked with watching over a flock of sheep. Eventually, bored and craving attention, he runs into the village shouting, “Wolf!” The villagers drop everything to help, only to find there’s no danger. He laughs, amused by everyone’s reaction. Later, he does it again. Once again, the […]

Left-Wing Activists Run Shadow Police Force On Signal To Target ICE In Minneapolis Last week, federal prosecutors issued six grand jury subpoenas to Minnesota officials, including Gov. Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and others, as part of an investigation into whether they obstructed or impeded federal deportation operations. While the subpoenas appeared focused on whether public statements by state and local officials interfered with federal immigration enforcement, late Saturday night, new reports from citizen journalists suggest the […]

Repricing Sovereignty Authored by Mark Jeftovic via BombThrower.,com, Personal Freedom In The Age of Mass Compliance What follows are a couple of excerpts from the last Bitcoin Capitalist Letter, which was a long-form piece that was a refinement of my overall long term investment thesis. It corrects for my biggest mistake in the previous model: the belief that nation states were in secular decline, and centralized government power was waning. This may be true for the long haul, but for the next five, ten, twenty years – we’re heading into an era that numerous commentators […]

Gavin Newsom Humiliated At Davos After Trolling Trump With "Knee Pads" Stunt Leftists have a disconcerting habit of making everything lame and gay.  And, because they have zero talent for memes or clever ridicule, when they do try to take their political opponents "down a notch" the attempt usually comes off as unintelligent and humiliating.    California Governor Gavin Newsom is the epitome of the bumbling narcissistic leftist stereotype.  His bizarre hot takes, robotic behavior and inability to read the room have made him the subject of embarrassment on numerous […]

'Repatriate The Gold': German Economists Urge Withdrawal From US Vaults Authored by Kate Connolly via The Guardian, Shift in relations and unpredictability of Donald Trump make it ‘risky to store so much gold in the US’, say experts Germany is facing calls to withdraw its billions of euros’ worth of gold from US vaults, spurred on by the shift in transatlantic relations and the unpredictability of Donald Trump. Germany holds the world’s second biggest national gold reserves after the US, of which approximately €164bn (£122bn) worth – 1,236 tonnes – is stored […]

Where The US Has Military Footholds In Europe Since the beginning of his second term one year ago, President Trump has escalated his public campaign regarding his plans for acquiring Greenland, framing the autonomous Danish territory as a "national security necessity" due to its Arctic location, while the island is also rich in untapped mineral resources. Trump's rhetoric has ranged from offers to purchase the territory from Denmark, including a direct payment to its residents, to veiled threats of military intervention, having notably stated in early January: "We are going to […]

2026 Is The Year Of Balance Sheet Engineering In The Battery Storage Market By Michael Kern of OilPrice.com In the first quarter of 2026, the global energy storage market is no longer a playground for visionaries... it is a graveyard for the undercapitalized. The data is rough. As of March 2025, QuantumScape sat on $860 million in cash against a trailing twelve-month burn rate of $331 million. This 2.6-year window is the "valley of death" made manifest in a ledger.  While the early 2020s were fueled by the speculative highs of SPAC mergers and theoretical energy density, […]

Buckle up because this is about to massively rock global markets!

Silver just crossed $100 — and contrary to Wall Street’s blowoff fears, this silver bull market is accelerating. Here’s what history and trust cycles reveal.

Today James Turk told King World News that the price of silver will skyrocket above the fair value of $300-$500.

Gold is approaching $5,000 per ounce. Silver is pushing toward $100. Bitcoin remains stuck around $89,000 — down 26% from its highs. When real uncertainty hits, investors are choosing what's worked for millennia. Plus: the copper shortage threatening global growth.

Gold and silver surged to new all-time highs again today, but look at what just hit a level not seen since 1972.

A Danish pension fund just dumped its entire U.S. Treasury position over fiscal concerns. The $100M sale seems tiny—but if other foreign institutions follow suit, the impact on gold could be massive. Here's what investors need to know.

With the price of gold hitting new all-time highs along with silver and the mining stocks seeing a historic upside breakout, here is the gold quote of the day!

Gold retreated from record highs after Trump softened his Greenland stance, but Goldman Sachs just raised its year-end target to $5,400. With GDP strong but labor markets frozen, inflation still elevated, and central banks buying, Wall Street sees higher prices ahead for precious metals.

After a day like today, what could go wrong?

Gold and silver didn’t just perform well in 2025 — they dominated every major asset class. With silver up 146% and gold rising 64%, metals sent a clear signal about where investors placed their trust during a year defined by uncertainty.

The United States is now headed for total collapse.

Gold blew past $4,800 per ounce Wednesday, hitting another record high amid a diplomatic crisis over Greenland. Investors are dumping U.S. assets and buying precious metals as geopolitical tensions escalate. Analysts now see gold pushing toward $5,000 this year.

On the heels of the price of gold and silver soaring today and the Dow and Nasdaq plunging, it appears this time the global financial crisis will be much worse.

As the DOJ investigates Fed Chair Jerome Powell, markets are reading between the lines. This isn’t about a building—it’s about interest rates, debt pressure, and why gold and silver are already responding.

Gold jumped 3.11% to clear $4,700 per ounce while silver rocketed 5.8% higher past $95. The rally reflects mounting concerns about tariffs, dollar debasement, and geopolitical turmoil. Trump's Greenland threats, crashing bond markets, and Fed independence attacks are driving safe-haven demand.

Gold and silver are continuing their march to record highs as the price of silver is soaring nearly 8% and gold is surging $134.

Michael Oliver, the man who is well known for his deadly accurate forecasts on stocks, bonds, and major markets, warned King World News that gold and silver mining stocks are coiled for a historic and violent 355% surge.

Tavi Costa discusses two major catalysts for gold and silver including one of the most compelling opportunities of 2026.

Silver has been officially labeled a national security issue by the U.S. government, a shift that could reshape supply chains, trigger price floors, and send silver prices sharply higher.

Gold and silver prices pull back after weeks of gains, but the forces driving metals higher remain intact. Central banks added 45 tonnes in November, bringing year-to-date purchases to 297 tonnes. Plus: What an ounce of gold buys today vs. 50 years ago, and Trump's Venezuela oil deal.

The CME’s shift to percentage-based margin requirements is changing how silver trades in the paper market. While leveraged traders and short sellers face rising costs as prices climb, physical silver investors remain completely unaffected — a distinction that could matter more as volatility and supply tightness increase.

Gold blasted past $4,600 while silver hit record highs above $90 this week. Geopolitical chaos, Fed independence concerns, and supply constraints are driving the rally. Plus: new silver trading rules, Trump's latest Powell comments, and why inflation looks worse than headlines suggest.

Silver’s surge past $90 isn’t a fluke. A worsening supply deficit, rising sovereign demand, and major monetary shifts are driving powerful momentum into 2026.

Silver shattered records Tuesday, breaking above $90 for the first time and hitting $92.39. Citigroup forecasts $100 by March. Meanwhile, gold miners rally as bullion eyes $5,000, the Fed signals a pause on rate cuts, and oil jumps on escalating Iran tensions.

Silver enters 2026 with a rare combination of supply shortages, rising government demand, and supportive monetary conditions. Alan Hibbard explains why silver’s setup may be one of the most compelling investment opportunities of the year.

U.S. inflation held steady in December, but markets face growing risks beneath the surface. Political pressure on the Fed, shifting rate expectations, and record-setting moves in gold and silver are reshaping the precious metals landscape.

Daily News Nuggets | Today’s top stories for gold and silver investors  January 12th, 2026  A Rare Challenge to Fed Independence Shakes Markets  In an unusually direct escalation, the Justice Department under President Trump has served subpoenas on the Federal Reserve and threatened criminal charges tied to Chair Jerome Powell’s congressional testimony — a move widely...

The gold-to-silver ratio is experiencing significant shifts that present strategic opportunities for precious metals investors. Understanding why this key metric is falling—from surging industrial demand to economic recovery signals—can help you optimize your portfolio allocation between gold and silver. Learn how to use this powerful valuation tool to time your...

U.S. job growth is fading, housing starts have slumped to pandemic-era lows, and China’s economy remains under pressure. As growth doubts spread globally, gold is holding firm — supported by shifting Fed expectations and steady central bank demand.

If earning six figures still feels like falling behind, you’re not alone. This breakdown reveals why the real poverty line in America may be closer to $140,000—and how outdated metrics hide the true cost of modern life.

Gold pulled back as commodity index rebalancing and a stronger dollar pressured prices ahead of U.S. jobs data. But central bank buying, geopolitical risk, and shifting reserve strategies suggest markets may be underestimating gold’s longer-term support.

Precious metals investors are watching market conditions closely as gold and silver hover at pivotal price points. While both metals have already posted impressive gains, multiple converging factors suggest we may be witnessing the early stages of a significant price surge rather than a market peak. From record central bank...

Bank of America says gold deserves a core portfolio role in 2026 — not just as insurance, but as a return driver. Meanwhile, HSBC raised silver forecasts to $68.25/oz, up 53% from prior estimates. As dollar uncertainty persists and Iran's inflation crisis deepens, precious metals stay in focus.

Gold holds near record highs as Morgan Stanley targets $4,800 by 2026. Rate cuts, softer oil prices, tight copper supply, and political shifts in Venezuela are reshaping the global metals outlook.

Venezuela’s crisis isn’t a silver story—it’s a gold story. U.S. sanctions reveal why controlling gold flows matters more than headlines, and what it signals for investors watching the next phase of the monetary cycle.
