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 […]

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.

Dave Smith: "America First Means Non-Interventionism"; Republicans Debate GOP Schism Yesterday, in a special ZeroHedge debate on What Is America First?, libertarian comedian Dave Smith and conservative filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza clashed over whether the slogan implies non-intervention abroad or a more assertive, national interest-driven foreign policy.

Firms are utilizing AI productivity enhancements to automate repetitive tasks, and research and coding functions have already been implemented.

This increase in AI productivity is measurable across various sectors, as supply chains operate more […]

Democrats Fight To Keep Insurrection Myth Alive In New J6 Committee Authored by Jonathan Turley, The new J6 Committee has started its hearings and, unlike the prior Committee, Republicans have allowed Democrats to select members to sit in opposition. That has led to sharp exchanges, but one of the more interesting occurred between Rep. Harriet Hageman (R., Wyo.) and Jamie Raskin (D., Md.).

EU Mulls Ditching Accession System Used Since Cold War To Fast-Track Ukraine When in doubt, just change the rules - or so goes the thinking in Brussels as it seeks to get creative on ways to allow Ukraine's quick accession to the European Union, despite it being consistently ranked among the most corrupt governments on earth. EU officials have described that a current plan being taken seriously is a 'limited' membership tier, part of a proposed European peace deal to end the Russia-Ukraine war, but which would withhold full membership rights for Kiev, which later must be […]

Shale Pioneer Harold Hamm Steps Back From Bakken After Decades Harold Hamm says low oil prices are forcing a step he hasn’t taken in decades: shutting down drilling in North Dakota’s Bakken, according to Bloomberg. “This will be the first time in over 30 years that Harold Hamm has not had an operation with drilling rigs in North Dakota,” he said. “That tells you a whole lot right there: There’s no need to drill it when margins are basically gone.” The decision underscores how far conditions have shifted in the region that once defined the US shale boom.

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...
