Mainstream Media Jumps On Bogus Narrative That J6 Pipe Bomber Was A Trump Supporter The arrest of Brian Cole Jr. on Thursday for planting pipe bombs near the DNC and RNC headquarters on January 5, 2021, has exposed yet another case of media malpractice. The Trump administration quickly noted that all the information needed to catch the suspect had been available to the Biden administration for four years, and yet nothing happened.  Rather than examine why it took so long to crack the case, the legacy media immediately pivoted to protect the Biden administration. The following […]

'Twas The Night Before Fed Day... By Peter Tchir of Academy Securities Maybe it was being in Europe, with a particular shout-out to Zurich for putting me in a holiday mood. Academy also has our holiday party this week, which I’m looking forward to, though I’m not sure why I thought guest hosting Bloomberg TV at 6am the next morning would be a good idea. Or maybe it was the daunting task of needing to write about something that I didn’t feel passionate writing about (knowing that it would be about one out of a thousand Fed write-ups hitting your inbox in the next 48 hours […]

Biden, Who Swore He Was Fit For Another Term, Butchers America's Name Authored by Luis Cornelio via Headline USA, Former President Joe Biden resurfaced on Friday and stumbled through his remarks once again, months after insisting he was fit to serve another term and not too long after announcing he had stage IV cancer.  The 83-year-old former president mangled the country’s name as “Amerigotit” while delivering a 20-minute speech at a conference hosted by the LGBTQ+ Victory Institute.  The gaffe occurred specifically as Biden claimed that the Democrats could […]

As The Year Ends, What Does 2026 Hold Authored by Lance Roberts via RealInvestmentAdvice.com, Markets opened in December with a surge in optimism as retail investors regained their “bullish spirit.” That improvement continues to build on the bullish case we discussed last week: “Seasonality, positioning, and trend still lean in favor of the bulls. December is historically one of the stronger months for equities, particularly when the market is already up by double digits year-to-date. Expectations for a December Fed rate cut, and a gradual cooling of inflation, […]

Goldman Reveals Housing "Affordability Illusion" When Factoring Other Costs Affordability has surged into the news cycle and is almost certain to dominate the coming midterm election cycle. And when voters talk about "affordability," they're most concerned about the basic cost of living. Beyond food and healthcare, nothing hits harder than housing costs.  Goldman analysts led by Arun Manohar have some bad news on the housing affordability front: even with lower mortgage rates and slower home-price growth, it's largely an "illusion of affordability" once other ownership costs, […]

Iran's Executions Reach Decade High Iranian authorities have executed over 1,000 people between January and September 2025, the highest number of yearly death penalties conducted in Iran that Amnesty International has recorded in at least 15 years.

French Government Plan To 'Label' News Outlets Backfires Spectacularly Via Remix News, A few weeks back, French President Emmanuel Macron announced a new “media labeling” system, while also assuring citizens that this “media accreditation” will not include any sort of state-backed labeling.  Suffice it to say, these assurances have only stoked fears of an authoritarian creep into the media sphere.  Back in November, Macron had told La Voix du Nord that “a labeling process carried out by professionals” was in the works to highlight those media outlets that […]

Pro-Israel Forces Intensify Effort To Control American Discourse Via Brian McGlinchey at Stark Realities Across the American political spectrum, support for the State of Israel is steadily eroding. With the long-running, staggeringly expensive redistribution of American wealth and weapons to one of the world’s most prosperous countries under unprecedented threat, Israel’s advocates inside the United States are growing increasingly desperate to suppress the facts, opinions, questions and imagery that are causing this sea change.  Pro-Israel forces have long worked to […]

Today the short squeeze in the silver market continued with shortages of physical metal being seen across the world.

Institutions are turning increasingly bullish on gold, with many forecasting prices above $5,000 by 2026. Driven by record central bank buying, rising geopolitical tensions, and persistent inflation, the 2026 gold price prediction reflects powerful structural forces reshaping the market. Is your portfolio positioned for what comes next?

Yes, gold, silver, copper, but look at this metal...

Markets are holding their breath ahead of today's delayed PCE inflation report—the Fed's preferred gauge and final data point before next week's rate decision.

Silver pulled back from an all-time high of $58.98 while gold consolidated near $4,200 as traders await next week's Federal Reserve meeting. Markets are pricing in an 89% chance of a rate cut, while mixed labor data and plunging oil prices signal both resilience and caution in the global economy.

Silver just hit all-time highs — but according to Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard, the real move is still ahead. With a 7-year supply deficit, a historic 45-year technical breakout, and a collapsing gold-to-silver ratio, the fundamentals point to dramatically higher prices.

We are headed toward crisis and the destruction of fiat currencies.

Besides silver, take a look at this metal.

Copper just joined gold and silver in record territory for the first time in decades — a powerful signal that investors are rotating into real, tangible assets. With supply tightening, central banks ramping up gold purchases, and global PMI data flashing slowdown, hard assets are emerging as the preferred hedge...

Designing the perfect money reveals a simple truth: you can’t escape the Perfect Money Trilemma.

More reports of metals shortages plus a look at the road to $10,000 gold.

Silver touched a record high of $57.86 per ounce Monday, surging nearly 90% year-over-year as physical supply tightens and traders price in a December Fed rate cut.

55-year market veteran, James Turk, spoke with King World News about Friday's Comex shutdown and the wild trading in the silver market after it reopened.

Silver’s rally didn’t break — the CME did. As trading halted across major markets, silver kept surging, breaking out above prior highs despite margin hikes. With confidence in fiat eroding and price signals returning, this move mirrors the explosive setup of the late 1970s. Silver may be leading the next...

From Kevin Hassett's pitch to a shortlist of five candidates, the race to lead the Federal Reserve...

Is socialism really “on the way,” or has the U.S. already crossed the line? Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard break down the systems, incentives, and policies that reveal how deeply government control is embedded in everyday American life — and why it matters for anyone protecting their financial future.

Trump's $21 trillion investment claim shrinks to $3 trillion under scrutiny, while delayed GDP reports and disappointing retail sales raise questions about data integrity and economic strength. With consumers tapped out from years of rising costs and producer prices jumping again, the economic picture is murkier than ever. Meanwhile, China's...

Most cryptocurrencies claim decentralization, but few truly achieve it. Alan Hibbard breaks down why most networks remain centrally controlled—and why only systems governed by math or physics, like Bitcoin and gold, avoid the risks investors overlook.

Gold held near $4,080 Monday as December Fed rate cut expectations surged, but a strong dollar and divided Fed officials kept gains modest.
