A Greenland-To-Patagonia Defense Axis Authored by Rick Fisher via The Epoch Times, While President Donald Trump’s ambition to control Denmark’s massive territory of Greenland has many strategic merits, it is also politically problematic and risks wasting scarce political capital that could be directed toward a far greater prize. A far more decisive use of the administration’s three years of limited political capital would be to assemble a Greenland-to-Patagonia defense axis of cooperation that secures the Western Hemisphere from Russian and Chinese missile attack for […]

Trump Kicking BRICS Out Of The Americas Authored by James Gorrie via The Epoch Times, Since the end of the Bretton Woods system in 1971, the U.S. dollar has dominated global finance as the chief reserve currency. It’s used in international trade, sovereign lending, and central bank reserves. This dominance allows the United States to borrow cheaply and wield great financial leverage globally. Recent actions by the Trump administration, sometimes labeled a neo-Monroe Doctrine for its assertive posture toward perceived rivals, can be understood through the lens of preserving […]

First European Troops Arrive In Greenland In Dark Of Night In a move that will further inflame already rising tensions over Greenland, the first European troops have quietly begun arriving on the island following President Trump's repeated provocative declarations on the need for Washington to take control of the territory, according to Germany’s Bild. The newspaper reports that a Danish military transport aircraft landed overnight in Nuuk, Greenland’s capital, carrying Danish soldiers alongside members of the French armed forces.

Inflation And Revolution Authored by Jeffrey Tucker via The Epoch Times, The revolutionary fervor in Iran today has deep political roots and invites every theory concerning outside influences that have a deep stake in the kind of regime that rules this country. But amidst all the speculation about what’s really happening here, there is an overwhelming factor rarely mentioned. Iran has experienced the sort of inflation that brings down whole governments. This is why so many among the merchant class have joined the revolutionary movements. For many years, the regime had […]

Gavin Newsom Caught In Massive Self-Own Over California Gas Prices The children running Gavin Newsom's X account might be legitimately brain dead, as evidenced by their latest attempt to 'own' conservative influencer Benny Johnson.  On Tuesday, Johnson took to the streets of Los Angeles, posting from an ARCO station that "The average price of gas in America is $2.82 per gallon." "There are 19 states where you can find gas under $2," he continued, adding "Here in Los Angeles, it’s over $4 and you get to step over homeless people while you fill up." The average price of […]

"It Has Cast A Shadow Over The Permian": Drilling Slows In Texas As Venezuelan Oil Policy Raises Concerns Efforts by the Trump administration to push more Venezuelan oil onto the global market, with the goal of lowering prices, are creating concern in West Texas, where producers say cheaper oil threatens drilling, jobs and local business activity, according to a new report from the Wall Street Journal. Oil prices have fallen since last spring, recently dipping below $60 a barrel — a level at which many operators can keep pumping but often avoid starting new wells. President […]

The Whining Of Jacob Frey Authored by Monica Showalter via American Thinker, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey launched a lawsuit against the Trump administration for its faithful enforcement of U.S. immigration law, whining loudly that his city was being unfairly targeted because it was run by Democrats while other cities had higher numbers of illegal aliens. He was scored for it, of course, and just found new way to embarrass his city. According to the Washington Examiner's editorial page: During his press conference announcing a suit brought by Minneapolis against the […]

Polar Air Madness Returns As East Coast Winter Threat Rises Average temperatures across the Mid-Atlantic, including Washington, DC, have trended above the 30-year normal in recent weeks (pressuring NatGas futures) following an Arctic plunge in early December, but a second cold blast of the season is expected to arrive by the end of the week, bringing the risk of winter precipitation by late weekend that could extend into early next week.

US Eyes Private Security Contractors To Protect Oil Assets In Venezuela A top White House priority for Venezuela in the aftermath of Nicolás Maduro is restarting and ramping up the country's oil production. But that's a tall order given many years of decaying and neglected infrastructure. Despite that Maduro's VP, now acting President Delcy Rodriguez, is currently running the country, there are still fears there could be a power vacuum if hostile forces challenge Caracas. There's not just the question of a political challenge, or even military insurgency which could further […]

Devon-Coterra Tie-Up Would Create A New Permian Heavyweight By Julianne Geiger of OilPrice.com, Coterra Energy is kicking the tires on what would be one of the biggest U.S. shale mergers in years, holding talks about a possible combination with Devon Energy, according to people familiar with the matter. Nothing is signed, nothing is guaranteed, but the market liked the idea enough to send shares of Coterra Energy sharply higher on the day. The deal would be a classic all-stock shale mashup: two midsize operators with large footprints in the Permian Basin trying to bulk up as […]

Lindsey Graham Drowns Sorrows After Trump Refrained From Iran Attack On 'No Guarantees' NeoCon Senator Lindsey Graham wants to "go bigger" on Iran and is so disappointed that President Trump hasn't bombed it yet that he appears barely able to speak, with the color draining from his face. Journalist Ryan Grim comments on the below video clip of Graham responding to the lack of action by the US, "His life force is being drained in front of us by the lack of bombing." When this armchair general is deeply disappointed and shattered by American non-action abroad, it without doubt […]

Chaos Is The Strategy, And Too Many Are Helping It Succeed Authored by Armstrong Williams via The Epoch Times, Let’s dispense with the convenient fiction: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is not the primary threat to our communities. The real danger lies in the growing normalization of disorder, intimidation and lawlessness—often wrapped in the language of “justice” but driven by something far less noble. What we are witnessing is not spontaneous civic unrest. It is a sustained strategy of division, enabled by progressive activism untethered from accountability […]

MrBeast Broke? Billionaire YouTuber Claims He Has "Negative Money" As Tom Lee Invests $200M The allure of becoming a YouTube superstar often conjures images of endless wealth and effortless luxury. Yet for Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, the reality is more nuanced - and far less liquid. In a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, Donaldson addressed the frequent media portrayal of him as a billionaire, clarifying the distinction between headline-grabbing net worth and actual cash on hand. “It’s funny talking about my personal finances because no one […]

Ron Paul: Making Imperialism Great Again? Authored by Ron Paul via the Mises Institute, It did not take long for President Trump to change the reason for sending the US military to “arrest” Venezuela President Nicolás Maduro and his wife. The allegation that President Maduro ran a drug cartel was front and center in the months leading up to President Maduro’s “arrest.” Afterwards, President Trump said the invasion was about Venezuela’s oil and announced plans for the US government to send American oil companies into Venezuela. About a week after the invasion, […]

President Trump Unveils 'The Great Healthcare Plan' President Donald Trump unveiled what he's calling "The Great Healthcare Plan" on Thursday morning, promising to fundamentally restructure how Americans purchase and pay for healthcare by cutting out insurance company middlemen and putting money directly into consumers' hands. Trump’s plan targets prescription drug prices, insurance premiums, and industry transparency. At the heart of the plan is a radical shift in how healthcare subsidies work—rather than payments flowing to insurance companies, the government would send […]

The CME’s shift to percentage-based margin requirements is changing how silver trades in the paper market.

"The Left Is Coming For Us"; Larry Klayman Warns "It's Going To Get More And More Violent" Via Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com, Renowned Attorney Larry Klayman, founder of Judicial Watch and later Freedom Watch USA, has long predicted (along with other top intel experts) increasing violence from the Left in a Marxist style Bolshevik Revolution.   As money is cut off by the Trump Administration and legal pressure mounts for prosecuting Democrats for everything from fraud to sedition, you can expect the Left to dramatically increase the violence to try to destabilize […]

Watch: This Is Just Absolutely Insane Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news, In an incredible Senate hearing meant to address the dangers of abortion pills sold online without proper oversight, a Democratic witness turned the spotlight on herself by refusing to acknowledge that only women can get pregnant. Dr. Nisha Verma, an OB-GYN tapped by Democrats, evaded direct questions from Republicans, prioritizing “identities” over scientific fact. This exchange highlights how insane woke ideology has infiltrated even medical testimony, undermining protections for women […]

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...

Here is a look at Gerald Celente's shocking top trends predictions for 2026.

Look at who just became one of the largest holders of gold in the world.

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.

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.

Gold and silver moved higher after Venezuela’s political shock, while oil and the dollar stayed restrained. With markets focused on Fed uncertainty and rate cuts, gold is quietly signaling caution as macro and geopolitical risks linger.

The silver market is facing a margin-driven shock that’s rattling prices but may be confirming something far bigger. A sharp CME margin hike is forcing leveraged traders to liquidate, triggering short-term volatility. But history shows these mechanical pullbacks often occur inside powerful bull markets—not at their end. This moment may...

Gold at $10,000 may sound extreme—but according to Mike Maloney, it’s not speculation. It’s math, history, and monetary policy converging as signs of a global reset quietly emerge.
