The $134 Billion Betrayal: Inside Elon Musk’s Explosive Lawsuit With OpenAI Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft has evolved into a high-stakes dispute over whether OpenAI stayed true to the mission it was founded on or quietly outgrew it while relying on that original promise. Musk is seeking between $79 billion and $134 billion in damages, a figure derived from an expert valuation that treats his early funding and contributions as foundational to what OpenAI later became. While the number is enormous, the heart of the case is simpler: Musk argues he helped […]

Border Czar Tom Homan Has Plan To Target Anti-Ice Agitators Minneapolis has erupted into chaos as anti-ICE mobs rampage through the city. On Wednesday, an ICE agent fired in self-defense after being attacked by three illegal immigrants from Venezuela armed with shovels. Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey have fanned the flames straight out of the 'defund the police' playbook - turning a law enforcement operation into a political flashpoint. The violence has spiraled so far out of control that President Trump has threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807, which would […]

Over 50 percent of globally operating AI unicorns are located in the U.S., while Europe plays virtually no role. The race for the next future technology is already decided.

Massive capital flows into this technology. Much of it resembles the dot-com boom 25 […]

If Britain Bans X, How Far Will It Go To Block Free Speech? Authored by Ted Newson via RealClearPolitics, In what appears to be a rolling back on free speech and citizen journalism, Britain is fast-tracking a law that will ban non-consensual intimate deepfake images. This is likely aimed at the social media site X.com after its AI assistant Grok allegedly generated inappropriate images. In the scope of the global news cycle and a further ban potentially on the table, the move couldn’t be more poorly timed. It coincides with social media bans in socialist Tanzania and a […]

Human Evolution: 'Our Ultimate Fate Comes Down To... Three Possibilities' Authored by Ross Pomeroy via RealClearScience, Everything around us seems to be changing at breakneck speed. Twenty years ago, smartphones were niche products. Twenty years before that, computers were clunky behemoths. Forty years before that, far more Americans traveled by train than by plane.

Nuclear Bunker Faces Final Days As Coastline Rapidly Erodes A nuclear bunker on the East Yorkshire coast is close to falling into the sea after decades of coastal erosion, according to the BBC. The structure near Tunstall, built around 1959 as a Cold War lookout post, was once more than 100 yards from the shoreline but is now dangerously exposed on the cliff edge. Local historian Davey Robinson, who has been filming the site, said: "We live on one of the most eroded coastlines in Europe and this bunker hasn't got long left, perhaps just a few days," and described the bunker as […]

How Expanded Obamacare Made Premiums Spiral, Americans Dependent Authored by Lawrence Wilson and Sylvia Xu via The Epoch Times, Congress responded to the COVID-19 pandemic by passing the American Rescue Plan Act in early 2021. This $1.9 trillion spending bill was intended to provide relief and spark an economic recovery.

Time To DOGE Baltimore: Top City Leaders Admit They Can't Track Tax Dollars Flowing To Nonprofits Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's interview with Christopher Rufo last week highlighted that there is still unfinished business at DOGE, where fraud, waste, and abuse may account for as much as 10% of the total federal budget. We even joked that the scale of recent fraud uncovered in Democratic states could compel Elon Musk to return to DOGE in some capacity, as his recent X posts targeting dark-money NGOs suggest renewed interest. At one level, one has to admire the […]

To Combat Academic Fraud, Scholars Confront Hallowed Tradition Authored by Vince Bielski via RealClearInvestigations, This is the fourth part of a series on the crisis in academic research and publishing. Read the first three parts here, here and here.

Yoon Becomes First Sitting S.Korean President To Be Arrested, Convicted & Sentenced Once a sitting head of state, and now a convicted felon - and potentially much worse still to come: former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, after his dramatic fall from power and attempt to stay in office by declaring martial law in December 2024 - a move that plunged one of Asia’s most stable democracies into a brief period of chaos - is going to serve hard time. He could actually still face the death penalty (with several more charges pending related to treason), according to South […]

Trump 'Convinced' Himself Not To Attack Iran, After Tehran Allegedly Canceled 800 Executions Update(1658ET): President Trump issued another somewhat bizarre Iran statement on Truth Social on Friday.

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.

Michael Oliver, the man who is well known for his deadly accurate forecasts on stocks, bonds, and major markets, sent a note to King World News as the prices of gold and silver prices pull back, but look at this massive upside breakout.

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.

Here is a look at what kicked off the bull market in gold.

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.

Silver has rallied once again above the $90 level.  What's next?

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 spectacular rise has become disorderly on the upside.  But silver, which comes out of the ground at about a 10/1 ratio vs gold, remains radically undervalued at a staggering 50/1 ratio vs gold!

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.

Today the price of gold and silver are hitting record highs again. Here is a look at the global hyper-debt bubble and gold.

This bodes well for continues bull market action in gold.

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.

The historic surge in gold and silver continues, but look at this bull market that is just getting started.

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.

Today gold and silver hit record highs, but could the price of gold be set up for yet another upside explosion?

Gold and silver melt-up continues, but look at this shocker...
