THE BIG PICTURE

Burning It All To the Ground – “The real rot isn’t in the back alleys of trafficking or dope deals. It’s right there in the stock tickers and rigged asset prices, sucking $10 to $20 trillion a year out of the world’s pockets—and that’s been going on for over a century, clean and legal-like. Well, not exactly legal. Fraud, corruption, vice and human smuggling? Drug runs? They pull in maybe $2 trillion tops, year after year. Small change. Peanuts next to the big steal. Organized crime isn’t just about the cash, though. It’s a tool. A private army, funded by its own dirt, ready to scare, beat, or bury anyone sniffing too close to the financial heist. They own the shadows in every town, outgunning the cops who only hassle the little and the good guy. Social rifts? They’re stoked on purpose, poured gasoline on with billions. Race wars, culture clashes, flag-waving bullshit—none of it matters except to keep us fighting each other blind. Can’t spot the thieves when you’re punching your neighbor.” – E.M. Burlingame  – GOOD READ FROM E.M. TODAY!!!

ICE Must Get Off The Streets NOW! – “From the beginning of Trump’s current term in office, I repeatedly said that while I agree with the effort to remove illegal aliens from the U.S., I had deep concerns over the way Donald Trump would go about it. What Trump is doing justifies my concerns. In the first place, most federal “law enforcement” agencies are unconstitutional, including the agencies created under the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI. The Constitution clearly charges states and local communities with the responsibility of domestic law enforcement, NOT the federal government. In the second place, the Posse Comitatus Act, which became law in 1878, absolutely prevents the use of federal troops from enforcing domestic laws. Specifically, the law was passed due to the abusive conduct of Union troops to police elections in the recently subjugated Southern states. In the third place, the hypocrisy of both the Left and the Right is off the charts. And seeing what’s currently happening under Donald Trump, MAGA and evangelicals, I postulate that the political Right has become ten times the greater threat to liberty than the political Left. Pick your poison: Fascism or Communism. They are equally evil.” – Chuck Baldwin

Now You Will Know – “It has come into focus now and you no longer need to be perplexed, mystified, bewildered, or bamboozled by events unspooling in Minneapolis and other hotspots of Woke-Marxist-Jacobin delirium. You are seeing the infernal machine of a sponsored revolution. Its parts are visible. They can be named and clearly understood. I will tell you how this works.” – James Howard Kunstler

Dear ICE Protestors: We Need to Talk – “It’s been a rough few months out there. You’ve shown up. You’ve resisted. You’ve rallied. You’ve organized. You’ve made signs. So. Many. Signs. You’ve launched illegal fireworks, damaged property, blocked traffic, broken the law, bashed in windows, assaulted agents, and berated scores of strangers simply for doing their jobs. You must be exhausted. I see you. I feel you. I am in awe of your stamina. So let’s pretend, for argument’s sake and to give you a desperately-needed break, you win. Let’s pretend all the chanting, the honking, the whistling, the street-blocking, the papier-mâché puppets, the Sharpie signs, the interpretive screaming, and the celebrity Instagram threats finally break the will of the federal government and ICE collapses under the sheer weight of your moral outrage. Congratulations. I just have one question: Now what? No, seriously. What’s your plan? Because tragically, our towns are teeming with dangerous, law-breaking repeat offenders—many of them wanted for horrific, unspeakable crimes here and in other countries. Blaming ICE for trying to remove them would be like blaming the home inspector for finding asbestos in the dream house you just fell in love with.” – Jenna McCarthy  – OBVIOUSLY WE DON’T WANT TO TURN INTO A POLICE STATE AND IT’S LOOKING LIKE IT MORE AND MORE; BUT JENNA RAISES A GREAT POINT, “WHAT IS THEIR PLAN”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

‘My Colon Literally Blew Up’: Thousands Sue Over GLP-1 Weight Loss Drug Side Effects – “A growing wave of lawsuits is challenging the safety warnings accompanying blockbuster weight-loss drugs that have rapidly reshaped American medicine and culture, raising questions about whether patients were adequately informed of the risks tied to medications now used by tens of millions of people.The plaintiffs’ stories vary widely, but share a common claim: that drugs known as GLP-1 receptor agonists – including Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro – caused severe, life-altering injuries that were not sufficiently disclosed at the time they were prescribed.” – Tyler Durden

Three Possibilities – “Many of us are trying to understand why Trump has been doing the things he’s been doing lately – because they seem to be destructive things, as regards the political palatability (and so, viability) of MAGA. It was weird – and a little appalling – when Trump suddenly sicced the military on Venezuelan speedboats, blowing not just them but also their helpless occupants into oblivion. Then Trump sent in the Hut! Hut! Hut! crew to literally kidnap a foreign head of state. Whatever you think about Maduro, he was the president of Venezuela. Where did Trump get the authority to just remove a foreign head of state? Then there’s Greenland. All of a sudden it is a strategic – and existential – necessity for America to annex it. Never mind that there is already an American base there and it’s not 1945 anymore. Most recently, Trump has made public anti-gun utterances after his FBI director made similar utterances. So, why? What is going on with Trump? There are arguably three main possibilities. The first is that he’s being ill-advised. The second possibility is that he is not right in the head. The third possibility is the one that’s hard to consider. It is that all of this deliberate. ” – Eric Peters

How Donald Trump Lost The Plot * – “Make America Great Again. Who, that is actually an American, wouldn’t want that? It has the ring of a slogan that could have come to symbolize a generation or more of positive, durable change — much like Reagan’s “Its Morning in America.” As with all slogans they’re marketing messages and thus contain the term of art known as “puffery” in the legal world; this is why when you buy a new car advertised by a sexy young thing and don’t get laid you can’t sue over your lack of new-found luck in the sack. So here we are roughly a year into Trump’s second term and yet where is the alleged progress? There hasn’t been any, unless you measure “progress” in the price of stocks, of course.” – Karl Denninger

The Ruthlessness and Brutality of the U.S. Government – “I have long maintained that one of the big obstacles libertarians face in the achievement of a genuinely free society is the fact that most Americans honestly believe they are free. After all, how can a society genuinely be considered free when the government wields the omnipotent power to kill anyone it wants? And make no mistake about it: As we have seen, U.S. officials have the omnipotent power to kill any American they want. That’s a harsh reality that so many Americans still do not want to accept.” – Jacob G. Hornberger

Trump’s Gunboat Diplomacy Targets Cuba’s Oil Lifeline, Puts Suppliers In Crosshairs – “Cuba “will be failing pretty soon,” President Trump told reporters Tuesday during a visit to Iowa. “They got their oil from Venezuela. They’re not getting that anymore.”” – Tyler Durden

Disturbing Allegations Against Bill Gates Emerge in New Epstein Files – “According to documents released Friday, Epstein accused Gates of sleeping with Russian women, contracting a sexually transmitted disease (STD), and seeking antibiotics he could secretly administer to his then-wife, Melinda Gates, without her knowledge or consent.” – Frank Bergman

Don Lemon Arrested – “It was not immediately clear what charges he would be facing. Lemon claims he was just being a journalist.” – Nick Arama  – LAST I KNEW BEING A JOURNALIST DOESN’T PUT YOU ABOVE THE LAW ANY MORE THAN ANY ONE ELSE!!!

After the Exit: How California Quietly Re-Routed the World Health Organization – “Within days of the U.S. withdrawal becoming official, California Governor Gavin Newson announced that California had become the first and only U.S. state to join a World Health Organization–coordinated global outbreak response network, the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN). This was not a press-release coincidence. It was a workaround. States are not sovereign nations. They do not conduct foreign policy. They do not enter treaties. And yet, here we are. California now participates in a WHO-coordinated international response network after the federal government has formally withdrawn from the same institutional ecosystem. Supporters insist this confers no regulatory authority and imposes no international mandates. That may be technically true. But it misses the deeper point.” – Sayer Ji

Iran’s protests and the dirty numbers game: The manufactured ‘death toll’ – “The US-funded ecosystem of Iranian ‘rights groups,’ Israeli operatives, and monarchist activists has become a revolving door of unverifiable statistics and atrocity propaganda” – Robert Inlakesh

Five Insights Into The Trilateral Russian-Ukrainian-US Talks – “Russia’s agreement to this format represents a significant policy shift. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed that the second round of the trilateral Russian-Ukrainian-US talks in Abu Dhabi will be held on 1 February. There haven’t been many leaks from the first round so observers can only speculate about the subject and significance of this new format.” – Andrew Korybko

 

 

ECONOMIC NEWS

MARKETS Silver drops 30%, gold tumbles 10% as Trump Warsh pick eases Fed independence fear, triggers dollar rally – “The sharp moves down were initially triggered by reports of Warsh’s nomination. However, they gained steam in afternoon U.S. trading as investors who piled into the metals raced to book profits. Metals were also under pressure as the dollar spiked higher, making it more expensive for foreign investors to buy gold and silver. “This is getting crazy,” said Matt Maley, equity strategist at Miller Tabak. “Most of this is probably ‘forced selling.’ This has been the hottest asset for day traders and other short-term traders recently. So, there has been some leverage built up in silver. With the huge decline today, the margin calls went out.”’ – Chloe Taylor   – KEEP A PERSPECTIVE ON ALL OF THIS, IF YOU HAD BOUGHT SILVER ON JAN 2 IT WAS AROUND $72. AT $85 YOU ARE STILL UP 20% FOR ONE MONTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gold and silver sell off – “The naysayers are crowing, saying gold and silver have peaked. This week’s volatility was certainly unnerving, a sharp lesson for whipsawed traders. But we assess the true position. Gold and silver have had a turbulent week, hitting all-time highs yet again before a sharp fall on Monday, followed by sharp falls yesterday and this morning (Friday). All this suggests that the sharp falls on Comex were purely technical, and the passing of February contracts should see a rebound in prices in the next week or two. ” – Alasdair Macleod

Here’s Why Gold’s Overpowering the Fed by a Mile – “10 years. 80 Fed meetings. 15 hikes. 10 cuts. 1 winner” – Nomi Prins.

Trump Reportedly To Announce Kevin Warsh Next Fed Chair Friday Morning; Bitcoin, Gold Tumble, Dollar Soars – Tyler Durden

Is Warsh the Needle This Current Stock Market Bubble Was Looking For? – “I must be blunt: I did NOT see Warsh coming as the Fed Chair. His entire career he’s been hawkish. Indeed, once he left the Fed in 2017, he’s launched some of the most scathing attacks on the Fed of any public official.Given that the Trump administration has made it clear it wants the Fed to ease monetary conditions, Warsh is an odd choice. I assume the President made this pick based on his usual criteria: loyalty over alliance to the President’s goals. The markets are certainly confused by this pick. ” – Graham Summers, MBA

Wholesale prices rise sharply and show new Fed chief could confront stubborn inflation – “Producer-price index jumped at the end of 2025” – Jeffry Bartash

Job Recession Ending? – “Unemployment Claims Are Down. Will Jobs Rise Accordingly? Amazon’s latest layoff announcement, in which it stated it would shed some 16,000 corporate jobs, might easily be seen as yet the latest indicator that the jobs recession is getting still deeper. Is it really that, however? Are the layoffs at the country’s number 2 employer a sign that jobs markets in this country are continuing to deteriorate, or are they starting to improve despite Amazon’s job cuts? The answer is unclear, because the data is unclear.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Europe’s Industrial Base is Imploding – “The German economy — the powerhouse of Europe — grew for the first time in 4 years, by a laughable 0.2% And even that was entirely bought with government money. Meanwhile the US is currently growing at 5.3% — faster than China. So 27 times faster. Sadly, Germany’s 15 minutes of growth won’t last given their crushing energy problems, crushing migrant crisis, and the fact Donald Trump is stealing Germany’s industrial crown jewels that form the backbone of European industry.” – Peter St Onge

THE BIG PICTURE

Patel “Patriot” – “Well, yesterday, the head of the FBI said the following: “You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It’s that simple.” This is the man Trump appointed head of the FBI. Ergo, he is the man Trump approves to lead the FBI. Trump has amen’d his approval by not firing this man, who clearly neither understands what the law is and/or has contempt for it. The fact is you have a right to bring a firearm, “loaded, with multiple magazines” to “any sort of protest you want” in states where it is still legal for American citizens to carry a loaded firearm. As in MN, where a man was executed in the street by armed government “agents” who took the man’s legally carried pistol. This is what those of us who voted for Trump voted against. Yet – mirabile dictu – we have as the head of the FBI a man whose views of the first and second amendment are in congruence with those of Joe Biden’s head of the FBI. Or whoever Kamala Harris would have anointed. It is sickening. Who vetted this Patel person?” – Eric Peters

You’re either for the Constitution and 2nd Amendment or you’re not: Globalist power-elites getting exactly what they want with both ‘sides’ in right-left paradigm playing right into their hands – “Tyranny knocking at the door: FBI director Kash Patel gives false statement to Fox News about the rights of Americans to keep and bear arms in certain places.” – Leo Hohmann

“Adventures with the Common Cold” (VIDEO) – ““We are told by Big Medicine and Big Pharma that when we suffer from a cold or influenza, there is “no treatment” except over-the-counter medicines—or, if our condition worsens, hospitalization for bronchitis or pneumonia. But in fact, many peer-reviewed studies show shockingly dramatic benefits from traditional remedies for cold and flu—far better results than drugs can provide. Hibiscus, for instance, immediately lowered concentrations of the influenza virus in mammals. Black currant extract cut flu-related deaths in mice by fifty percent. Pomegranate extract made it far more difficult for flu viruses to replicate.” – Dr Naomi Wolf

Karoline Leavitt Torches The Left’s Hypocrisy On Deportations – “Homan did the same work under Obama that he’s doing under Trump. The difference is that Obama gave him a medal, and the left cheered. Now, under Trump, the same deportation-focused approach draws outrage from Democrats and breathless condemnation from the media. The only thing that changed was the man in the Oval Office.” – Tyler Durden

Why Is Trump Causing His Own Downfall? – “The White House seems to do everything possible to help the Republicans to lose their majorities in the midterm elections. Trump’s tariff policies have guaranteed that prices for $3 Trillion in U.S. imports will rise by at least 10%. His energy policies have caused 6% price rises for electricity and gas. His move against allies to grab Greenland is unpopular. Bombing Iran and abducting the President of Venezuela was not welcome. Sending heavily armed Brownshirts into U.S. neighborhoods to apprehend or assassinate random people is likewise disliked. Trump’s approval rating is sinking.” – Moon of Alabama

ICE Is In Hot Water Again – “When “peaceful protestors” show up armed and ready to fight, it’s just never going to end well. I didn’t want to write about ICE again. I’m exhausted by violence and protesting and so much same-carnage-different-day. “His last words,” The Guardian opened gravely, “spoken to a woman who had been tackled to the ground and pepper-sprayed by nearby ICE agents, were ‘Are you OK?’ This, I’ll point out, is intended to serve as news coverage. As a veteran of the industry, I can say this lede breaks just about every law of journalistic integrity on the books. It’s biased. It leads the reader. It’s loaded with emotional language, speculation, and insinuation. It’s sensationalistic, treats a single uncredited anecdote as a character witness, and completely ignores critical context surrounding what was arguably a preventable catastrophe.” – Jenna McCarthy  – MAY BE, BUT MURDER IS STILL MURDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ICE Unloads – “Immigration officers speak out: “Fuck this.” “The best they can do is shoot the guy in the back?” That’s not the voice of some liberal commentator. That’s what a homeland security officer told me this weekend, one of over half a dozen who have reached out to express their alarm over the killing of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis and beyond. I’ve listened to the stories and the beefs of immigration officers in Minneapolis across the country, and to a person, they all blame the shooter, one of their own. “As much as I support this administration there needs to be more common sense in situations like this, not a knee jerk damage control narrative that does not line up with the evidence on video,” one Border Patrol agent said in a private chat group that was shared with me. “This individual was shot 8 to 9 times while unarmed.” “We can’t always support what happens just because it’s one of us,” he adds. An ICE agent was even more critical. “Yet another ‘justified’ fatal shooting … ten versus one and somehow they couldn’t find a way to subdue the guy or use a less than lethal [means],” the agent said.” – Kenneth Klippenstein

Minnesota’s SignalGate: The Anatomy of a Domestic Insurgency – “Begin with a simple observation. Federal officers conducting immigration enforcement are being tracked in real time. Their vehicles are logged into shared databases. Their movements are broadcast across encrypted channels. Rapid response teams are vectored to intercept them. Blockades are formed. Arrests are delayed or prevented. Officers are followed to hotels and harassed at night. This is not the behavior of a crowd that stumbles into the street. It is the behavior of a network that knows where to be, when to be there, and how to apply pressure without crossing the threshold of open warfare. A puzzled reader might object that activists have long monitored police activity, that legal observers carry cameras, that communities organize to protect their neighbors. All true, in isolation. The question is not whether any single act is novel. The question is whether the aggregate pattern exhibits features that distinguish protest from organized obstruction. Research from counterinsurgency studies provides a useful vocabulary. Early stage insurgencies rarely announce themselves with bombs. They begin with infrastructure. They build command structures. They specialize roles. They develop intelligence capabilities. They seek to deny the state freedom of movement while remaining sub kinetic.” – Amuse on X  – NOT SURE HIS SOURCES, SO TAKE THIS ONE WITH A GRAIN OF SALT, BUT IF TRUE, IT’S INDEED ALARMING!!!

Little Boys and Nazi Wolves and Economic Collapse… Oh My! – “We’re Living Inside the Boy Who Cried Wolf Fable Right Now… For fifty years, the gold investors have been screaming that the dollar is collapsing. Buy gold! Hyperinflation is coming! The end is near! Peter Schiff has been predicting imminent economic apocalypse since the 1990s. Survivalist websites have been selling freeze-dried food and telling you to buy silver since the internet was invented. Every recession gets billed as “the big one.” Every market correction becomes “the crash that will end America.” And they’ve been wrong. Over and over. For decades. I get it. Warning fatigue is real.

Holter says, “We exploded through $100 per ounce silver, and we went through $5,000 per ounce on gold, but that’s not the story. The story is there are already over 40 million ounces standing for delivery in January. January is a non-delivery month. If you go back in past years, you might see delivery in January that might be a million ounces, two million ounces or a small amount. We are already at 40 million ounces of silver in January with only a few days left in the month. March is a delivery month” – Greg Hunter

All Eyes on Shanghai: Silver Rally Driven by China – “As silver prices continue soaring to new all-time highs, mainstream commentary focuses on the COMEX/London price and not the Shanghai price. But it should now be clear to nearly everyone that, at least as of January 2026, it’s the daily action in Shanghai that is determining the day-to-day price moves. And what kicked off this event? Back in October of last year, the Chinese government announced plans for export controls on many critical and industrial metals, including silver. Mainstream analysis and commentary continues to frame the silver price rally as some sort of speculative blow-off top. But that’s just lazy reporting from supposed “experts”. As we wrote last week, the overall speculative positions in COMEX silver are shrinking, not soaring. However, as long as the Shanghai price keeps moving higher, it’s almost a certainty that the COMEX price will tag along, squeezing Banks and any other trading entity that foolishly bets against the silver price during this historic rally. ” – Craig Hemke

Native Americans Survived Winters That Kill Today’s Power Grids – “The funny thing about modern comfort is how quickly it disappears. One bad ice storm. One snapped power line. One furnace that won’t kick back on. And suddenly, a warm house turns into a cold box faster than anyone expects. That’s when people realize—usually too late—that electricity didn’t invent survival. It only made us forget how it works. Long before power grids, pipelines, and weather apps, Native Americans faced winters that didn’t just inconvenience you—they killed you. No second chances.

THE BIG PICTURE

The U.S. Has Become a Hellhole and Few Seem to Notice or Care – “Given this ‘modern’ world of retro-civilization, a madness of going backward, in order for the rulers to gain unlimited power, and therefore solidify mass control, requires that they foment division, civil unrest, and chaos so that it consumes the population at large. Once this paradigm is evident, the governing forces, at the request and with the willing consent of the weak serfs, will be able to strengthen its dictatorial position by claiming to provide security for the nation-state and its dependent people. All this is predicated on the fact that these same rulers purposely brought about the division and dissention in the first place, that was necessary in order to create the environment of protest, riots, chaos and civil strife. There is no better example of this insane dynamic than in America and the West today.” – Gary D. Barnett

Another One – “A 37-year-old man was shot dead in the street in Minneapolis yesterday by ICE “agents” after one of these “agents” took the man’s holstered pistol, which he was legally carrying. A slowed-down, high-resolution video can be viewed here. It does not look good. In fact, it looks like a summary execution. The video shows a bunch of “agents” scrumming Pretti, who is wrestled to the ground. At this point, the video appears to show one of the “agents” taking Pretti’s legally holstered pistol, which he never pointed at anyone. Moments later, Pretti is shot dead by one of the “agents. ” This ought to appall everyone but especially “conservatives” who are ardent about the right – and it is a right – to carry a pistol. The fact that one is carrying one ought not to be warrant to kill that someone. Especially when that someone hasn’t unholstered his legally carried pistol. Some “conservatives” will defend the “agents” who executed Pretti – claiming he was “resisting.” Watching the video, it looks like he was trying to ward off a beating. Well, what happens in the event you get “pulled over” for a petty traffic violation – or maybe you just happent o be out driving and are forced to stop for no reason at all, as at a “sobriety” checkpoint – and the AGW sees your holstered, legally carried pistol – and maybe shoots you dead, because he thought you might shoot him?” – Eric Peters  – GREAT POINT FROM ERIC THAT MANY OF THE 2ND AMMENDMENT SUPPORTERS FAIL TO BRING UP!!!!!!!!!

No End to the Cold, Snow, and Ice – “The most intense polar vortex outbreaks of the modern era are what hundreds of millions in the Northern Hemisphere are living through, with gas and heating prices going through the roof. Americans were walloped this weekend. Meanwhile, as usual, the mainstream media is saying, “A recently released annual climate report for 2025 reveals our planet is enduring an unprecedented hot streak. Last year was the third-warmest on record, and the previous 11 years have ranked among the 11 warmest on record.” I am sure hundreds of millions will disagree.” – Dr.Sircus

Canadian woman was euthanized ‘against her will’ after husband was fed-up with caring for her – “”An elderly woman was euthanized within hours of her husband claiming she changed her mind after insisting she wanted to live. Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying laws allow patients to request a painless death if an assessor agrees their terminal condition meets certain requirements. Patients often wait weeks, but it can happen the same day the application is lodged if judged to be medically urgent by a MAiD provider. But a report by the Ontario MAiD Death Review Committee raised concerns that safeguards were being eroded that led to questionable deaths.” – Nic White

Had Enough? – “Isn’t it obvious by now that the seditious mischief roiling Minneapolis is some kind of a demonstration project for a China-backed overthrow of the whole country? This is not hard. And, apparently, the Democratic Party is either a willing accomplice or a hostage in thrall to its captor …It is well understood that these ICE-Out riots are organized and funded by a network created by one Neville Roy Singham (American, b. 1954), now based in Shanghai. Singham funds the Party for Socialism and Liberation, The Peoples’ Forum, Code Pink, the United Community Fund and a web of other money laundries that supply all the logistics for Lefty-left mobs going back to the George Floyd / BLM operations of 2020. And then you have his perfect foil, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who visited China at least thirty times in his previous career as a teacher, his travel often funded by the CCP. What was he up to there? I think we’re going to find out. The communication system for the Minneapolis riots is an encrypted Signal Chat network (“MN ICE-Watch”) run by Tim Walz aide and campaign strategist Amanda Noelle Koehler. That’s how they organize rapid-response actions against ICE and broader mobilization for key propaganda opportunities like the recent shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.” – James Howard Kunstler

A Few Well-Placed Lies – “A question being kicked-around is whether of not our destiny is controlled by a hidden hand. And if so, whose hand is it and to what extent does it control us? Europe/Britain are seemingly almost totally controlled and the last fight against liberty is being waged in the US. But the degree of control is not what we might think. The biggest lie is there being a fix for our problems.” – Erik @ neverhadaboss.com

Follow the money, not the media – “The Gatoguide™ to making sense of Minnesota (and what’s to come). Honestly, despite half of Twitter seeming to have some really strong opinion of what “the video obviously shows,” Unlike the Renee Good video,Ii cannot make head or tail of it. There are just no good shots or angles I can see. but, again, this argument is missing the point. Had he been disarmed by the time he was shot? Was he reaching for/drawing his pistol? Was the first shot his (or a malfunction from a SIG notorious for such)? I’m not sure it matters. You come strapped to an action whose purpose is to impede armed officers. You act aggressively, You resist arrest. Sorry, but “well did he draw first?” is kind of out the window and people do often carry second weapons. Sure, carrying a gun is legal, but that does not make doing it while getting aggressive with cops either smart or safe. play Dangerous games, win dangerous prizes.” – El Gato Malo  – GOOD POINTS FROM EL GATO. DID THE MAN DESERVE TO GET KILLED. NOT REALLY, SHOULD HE HAVE BEEN THERE ARMED, NOT REALLY. SHOULD HE EVEN HAVE BEEN THERE AT ALL. AGAIN, NOT REALLY!!!

Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes – “There are a lot of genuinely stupid people in this country. Our public school system seems geared to churn them out like there was a profit in it for them. You’d think even the dumbest people would, as some point, come to the realization that they’re being exploited,…It takes a special kind of stupid to loudly dare someone to hit you,..Moronic leftists daring officers to hit them makes for great social media street cred in the cosplaying social justice warrior game. It’s hard for people who pay attention to what’s going on to care when someone gets hurt, or worse, when you know these people have taken to the street for what amounts to performance art.

Of Lies and Surges – “There’s Blood in the Streets. “Surges” are not how you win wars, whether overseas or here at home. In fact, surges in Iraq and Afghanistan were admissions of a sort that the wars were already lost; their main purpose was to show resolve and to provide political cover for dishonest leaders like George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and Barack Obama. But government officials have an amazing capacity not to learn. Their “solution” is always to show resolve through military and/or police action. Nothing is “won,” nothing is achieved, and the main product is more blood in the streets.” – Bill Astore

Dude, do you even go here anymore? – “Where in the world is Gavin Newsom? Literally.. Gavin Newsom is in Davos running for President of …Europe? The carefully-coiffed contender from the Golden State is attending the World Economic Forum to blast Trump and demand global leaders unify against the Trump agenda. In a statement released just prior to his departure, Newsom described the President’s economic agenda as a betrayal of the nation and said he was heading to Davos to “confront” Trump’s abuses. Was a single person about to lose their home insurance asking him to fly to Europe to “confront” anyone? What about the thousands of people waiting for their attackers and abusers to be brought to justice or (gasp) deported? Or the senior citizens about to lose their homes to a sneak attack on our hallowed Prop 13? Or the parents who are choosing between new shoes for the kids or gas in the tank? Or the business owners sinking under a mountain of red tape and human waste from the homeless encampments? Or the “billionaire class” that is about to pick up and leave? Have any of these people asked Newsom to get on a plane – at their expense – and travel across the globe to preen for the ultra-wealthy while the Palisades still stands barren? The utter gall.” – Kira Davis

How The GOP Appropriators Bushwhacked The DOGE Boys – “Hopefully, Elon Musk and his DOGE boys have learned a lesson the hard way. To wit, their earnest, dogged, sweeping and compelling demonstration early in 2025 that hundreds of billions can be cut from the Federal budget has already been shit-canned. Almost in its entirety.

What may be the Greenland endgame? – “Trump will ‘take’ Greenland. On Monday, when asked whether the U.S. would use force to seize Greenland, President Trump replied, “No comment”. He has previously promised to take the world’s largest island “the nice way [through purchase] or the more difficult way [by force]”. Though the notion seems to have sprung on the world ‘out of the blue’, John Bolton, Trump’s former National Security Adviser, tells that it was Ron Lauder, an 81-year-old New York Jewish billionaire and heir to the Estée Lauder fortune, who first sowed the seed of U.S. ownership of Greenland in the President’s mind in 2018, during his first term in office. Trump unsuccessfully tried to buy Greenland in 2019, during his first term. President Harry Truman also offered to buy it for $100m in gold in 1946 – but was turned down.” – Alastair Crooke

Who Will Feed Gaza? – “Jared Kushner’s vision is so glorious, so perfect in its conception, it is as if a light shines from within it. The world is awestruck at its brilliance, its cohesiveness, its sheer visionary energy. Instead of pelting him with old fruit and shoes, the audience listened politely, and no questions were asked. No one asked why Palestinians are not included in the future of Gaza, except perhaps as surveilled, caged laborers. Depopulation and demolition of the Strip, like Kushner’s unveiling for New Gaza, were planned long before the incident at the Nova Music Festival, conveniently moved south and left unprotected for many hours by order of Tel Aviv. Occurring as it did towards the end of Simhat Torah, for Israel, it was time for a new beginning. No one asked about the urgency of the erasure of Gaza.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

The US Must Return to a Gold Standard – “The purchasing power of the US dollar has been debased by over 99 percent since the foundation of the Federal Reserve. (An ounce of gold cost $20.67 in 1913. According to the Wall Street Journal as of Friday, January 16 its price was $4,588.40. That means that the dollar is worth less than one half of one percent of its 1913 purchasing power [$20.67/$4,588.40=.0045]). Its remaining purchasing power may eventually become zero. There is no discipline in US spending and the Fed has become a willing accomplice to this crime. The current administration is out of control. The only way it can become impossible is to end fiat money—which can be created out of thin air in whatever gigantic quantities are desired—and make the dollar “good as gold.” – Patrick Barron

THE BIG PICTURE

We Persist Through Righteousness – “As a rule, we prize strength and power. As a rule, we want our political leaders to project strength and power. We value strength. We value power. We generally desire both, but do we truly understand what they are? One thing we can see, whether we are looking at Ukraine, Iran, or Minnesota, is who is persisting, despite the forces arrayed against them. At the very least, ICE is so far persisting. Whether the protesters in Minnesota match their determination remains to be seen. How are these various groups managing to persist even in the face of determined opposition? Certainly one obvious answer is that they are convinced they are in the right. If what they are doing is the right thing, failing to persist must also be understood as the wrong thing. The strength to persist can therefore easily be said to be found in doing the right thing. Strength comes from following God’s Law, and acting in accordance with God’s Will.” – Peter Nayland Kust

The Lights Are Still On… But Your Electric Bill Feels Like a Quiet Shutoff – “The Soft “Power Outage” No One Warned You About—And Why Fixed Incomes Feel It First At first, nothing looks wrong. The lights come on. The coffee maker hums. The furnace kicks in like it always has. But then the bill arrives, and it’s a little higher than last time. Not enough to scream about. Just enough to make you pause. And that’s how it works. Not with a bang or a blackout, but with a slow tightening that most people don’t notice until the breathing room is gone. And once you start paying attention, the pattern snaps into focus. This isn’t about weather. It’s not about using too much electricity or forgetting to turn off a light. It’s about decisions made in quiet rooms, written in technical language, and approved without a single vote from the people footing the bill.How State Energy Policies Are Turning Monthly Power Bills Into a Shadow Tax Most Households Never Voted For ” – Bill Heid

Phase V to Phase VI Transition – “The Financialists—bloodline heirs to ancient Roman elite scum—are dead-set on shattering the United States via their Praetorian Regime and Devil’s Legions. Why? To crush any US-Russia-China alliance that would gut their global stranglehold and restore a world order free from their parasitic grip. These Financialists are a ruthless chain of money-lords who’ve weaponized economic sabotage to topple empires, It’s straight out of ancient Rome’s Praetorian playbook—elites hiding behind layers of owners and managers, knives to their throats, when rival powers threaten their grip, just as early Roman rivalries forced power to cloak itself. Tools of the trade: Debt traps via unsustainable loans, stoked divisions through resentment and chaos, resource theft via wars and taxes, legal warfare (lawfare), and straight-up hits and assassinations. Pulled from Rome’s collapse by mercenary sackings, Britain’s overextension post-Revolution, America’s hundreds of trillions of unpayable debts and social obligations, and endless elite killings for profit.” – E.M.

The Execution Of Americans By ICE With Federal Approval – “A US citizen, a respected RN, lauded by the VA Hospital doctors who worked with him, was shot dead in Minneapolis after filming ICE Agents using tear gas on US citizens. Noem defends the assassination. Trump spouts false and fake disinformation about the murder. And JD Vance calls him a Domestic Terrorist. Media Maga Pundits, the Cult Speculators, defend ICE and laud the Death as deserving because this man was on the streets during a protest after ICE illegally detained a five year old boy for terrorism. ANYONE who finds this murder intolerable is immediately vilified as a ‘leftist terrorist who also deserves a death sentence’. How dare we NOT support Gestapo style murders. How dare this RN film ICE. How dare he protest the illegal detention of a five year old boy! IF you protest the government overreach – you deserve to die!

It might be time for President Donald Trump to make an even trade of Minnesota for Greenland. Progressives and illegals seem to have lost their ever-loving minds – and apparently they’re running the show. But on the bright side, at least now America can see the problems with progressive political dominance and the resulting Somali community in real time. Adding insult to injury, corporate media is having one heckuva time finding someone in the Gopher State to interview who shows up at least appearing legitimate and able to relate the woes they have endured because of Trump and his ICE troopers. As winter storm Fern graces the nation with a message from Mother Nature, smart folks in the below-zero temperatures of Minnesota have hunkered down with bread, milk, and eggs. Will Fern slap some sense into the screaming masses disrupting the streets, scattering them back to the suburbs and rich city lofts from whence they came? It would be a relief for everyone in the Gopher Gulch to take a breath. Folks seem to have gotten so trigger-happy in Minnesota that some looky-loos are wearing fluorescent green vests that read “Dont shoot Just observing.””- Sarah Cowgill

NRA Makes Rare Statement Against Trump Admin Over Alex Pretti Shooting – “The National Rifle Association (NRA) criticized comments by a senior federal prosecutor warning that approaching law enforcement with a gun could justify a fatal police response, saying such statements risk “demonizing law‑abiding citizens” as the nation reels from the killing of a man in Minneapolis by a U.S. border agent. The organization has also spoken out against “radical progressive politicians like Tim Walz,” accusing them of inciting “violence against law enforcement officers who are simply trying to do their jobs.” The comments highlight tensions between prominent gun-rights advocates and federal officials over when armed presence in public meets legal thresholds for deadly force.” – Jordan King and Daniel Orton

In the last article two days ago we said Russia was readying a new strike, and it delivered. All this time, Russia has focused on hitting the TPPs, or thermal power plants, and various other gas and hydro-stations near dams, etc. Hitting nuclear plants is obviously quite a sticky subject because of not only the optics it creates, but obviously the dangers involved. So, Russia has for a long time avoided striking these nuclear substations. But it seems it may have been part of a long term strategy to first degrade or entirely wipe out Ukraine’s conventional energy grid generating capabilities and leave the nuclear power stations to the very end, particularly because there are not very many of them.” – Simplicius

Well, it’s bound to take your life
There’s a bad moon on the rise

I hear hurricanes a-blowing
I know the end is coming soon
I fear rivers overflowing
I hear the voice of rage and ruin

Don’t go around tonight
Well, it’s bound to take your life
There’s a bad moon on the rise

All right

Hope you got your things together
Hope you are quite prepared to die
Looks like we’re in for nasty weather
One eye is taken for an eye

Don’t come around tonight
Well, it’s bound to take your life

If you want to understand the OSF, you can think of it as the stopgap—it gives radical organizations the money that the government grift DOGE exposed doesn’t quite cover. If there’s a radical leftist organization in America, you can bet that somewhere, buried deep in the financials, the OSF is sending money. Alex has recently become sort of a Democrat “Godfather,” insofar as anyone who wants political power is expected to come and kiss the ring. ” – Andrea Widburg

Guns Against the State – “Self-defense and gun ownership are constantly being attacked in modern discourse and by the mainstream media, yet their legitimacy rests on principles far older than any constitution, preceding and transcending any political framework. The importance of self-defense lies in its role as a safeguard against both private and state aggression. Unlike modern states, which increasingly disarm their citizens and leave them defenseless, a private-law society would place no restrictions on the individual ownership of firearms or other weapons. In a genuinely free society, the preservation of liberty does not depend on armies or governments but on morally responsible individuals capable of self-reliance. Security must never be entrusted to the very institution that holds the monopoly on force; it must remain in the hands of the people themselves.” – Marisa Jarquin Print this page

He is comfortable with patients being “bullied” into killing themselves. the very notion that it is OK if “a few grannies” (managing to be both ageist and misogynistic at the same time) get bullied into being killed – whatever the “cause” in pursuit of which they are collateral damage – is one that should be abhorrent to any right-thinking person.” – Jonathan Engler

Armed Suspect Shot By Border Patrol Dies; Tear Gas Deployed As Protesters Swarm Area – Tyler Durden

What A Disaster – That Was The End Of The American Century – “Yesterday was a strategic disaster for America. Trump and his minions have destroyed the alliances that underpinned American exceptionalism. He revealed himself as weak and venal; an old man lost in rambling hatreds. America now faces a scrabble to save face and recover a modicum of respect. The medium-to-long term market implications are huge. Ultimately, Trump’s performance yesterday may be remembered as the most embarrassing and costly moment in America’s 250-year history. Standing in the wings was a smiling Chinese chief trade negotiator offering trade deals… which said it all. The Chinese understand geopolitics and how Trump shattering America’s alliances with aligned nations changes the world utterly – and if they play the situation well it opens fantastic new opportunities for Beijing. Every time Trump opens his mouth, Vance frowns, Lutnick insults, or Bessant patronises – the Chinese grin gets wider.” – Bill Blain

Arctic Craziness – “What ever happened to the Epstein scandal? Gone. Out of sight. Hey presto, vanished by the wave of a magic wand. It seems that Master Illusionist Donald Trump has dodged this lethal bullet – at least for the time being. Trump’s Invasion of Venezuela and kidnapping its president Maduro, a former bus driver, removed Epstein from the news. Now Trump and his henchmen are beating the drums over his claim to world greatness launched at Davos, Switzerland. This rather ugly alpine resort – which is not great for reliable skiing – was the perfect venue for showman Trump. The annual Davos jamboree is the world stage for big egos, conmen and show-offs. ” – Eric Margolis

TIME TO BOOT “PAY FOR PLAY” BONDI – “All I want to do is be the best attorney general that I can be. Pam Bondi (Uh Pam, we’re still waiting.) Attorney General Pam Bondi ‘whiffed’ on the Epstein Files. First, she gave them (influencers) binders full of nothingness. And then she said that the witness list, or the client list, was on her desk. There is no client list, and it sure as well wasn’t on her desk. Chief of Staff Susie Wiles (Hey Susie, didn’t you promote Pammy for AG?) Pam loves the camera and never shies away from an interview even when she has nothing of value to say. She’s a Fox News favorite.” – Kelleigh Nelson

Exterior Barriers That Restrict Access: DIY Ways to Make Your Property Hard to Approach – Most “home security” starts at the door. That’s backwards. If someone can walk or drive onto your property freely, they get time. They get options. They get to test angles, check sightlines, and decide if they want to commit—while you’re still assuming everything is normal. Exterior barriers flip that script. They don’t just “detect” movement. They shape movement. They force a stop, a detour, noise, or exposure—before anyone ever touches a knob or checks a window.”” – denob

Give us Liberty or Give us Big Brother – “Shackles of the nanny state. I have come to the conclusion that most of my fellow Americans just don’t like liberty. They don’t recognize or regret how much personal liberty we’ve lost over the last 50 years or so. They opt for rules and regulations over unfettered freedom. It’s all for our own good, of course. We’re just trying to protect you. Don’t you want us to be safe? The corruption we see in America today is unlike any corruption before it. It’s at every level. I see it whenever I traverse one of our crumbling, pothole filled roads. In recent years, they have stopped allowing motorists to turn left on a “leading” green, which was the case for the first four decades or more of my career behind the wheel The bottom line is, our leaders don’t trust the people to be able to do something as mundane as wait until no traffic is coming to execute a left-hand turn. At the same time, more and more traffic lights display a sign proclaiming “No right turn on red.” Again, those who misrule us have taken away the decision making power from the people on even that level.” – Donald Jeffries

NEWS

2026 – The Year US Hegemony Ends? – “Just a couple of hours after I wrote that I hadn’t yet seen the major agenda of Davos 2026, Canadian PM Mark Carney made a speech that suddenly made it clear. So, what is the speech about? It’s about how the US are bad guys, attempting to boss around the world through strength and nothing more. That the “rules-based order” is, and always was, a lie (sort of). That US hegemony is bad and must end. That countries should be independent (but also not really). The takeaway is that this is an important speech. How do we know that? Well, because everyone is saying so. Fluffing Carney’s supposed “realism” and “integrity” has become the hobby of everyone who fancies themselves a liberal, and this clearly signals a shift in narrative. Even some who should know better are buying in, tempted to a mainstream agenda by Carney’s (rather disingenuous) denunciation of the “rules-based international order”:” – Kit Knightly

Carney Declares Death Of The ‘Rules-Based Order’ – “To discard the ‘rules based order’, to expose it as the lie that it has always been, is a good step into the right direction. It is a fundamental change of viewing the world. But we also have to mindful to not fall into The Standing Ovation Trap because such fundamental changes can be abused. Keep in mind that the ‘liberals’, like Carney, who suddenly preach adherence to international law when Trump tries to snatch Greenland, are the same ones who still run cover for every Zionist breach of international law in Palestine:” – Moon of Alabama

POTUS And His Toadies – “Donald Trump’s delusional state mind was on unmistakable display during his rambling press conference Tuesday. As he purported to celebrate the greatest first-year achievements of any President in American history, he actually made if perfectly clear that none of the toadies around him have either the knowledge or gumption to tell him he’s flat-out full of baloney.” – David Stockman

TACO King Makes a Fortune for Him and His – “But what about the rest of us who don’t have a seat at the TACO table? Details are very thin because the only thing that often matters with Trump’s deals is that they give him something to hang his hat on. In terms of really mattering, I know I find it hard to see ANY way in which the US I live in day today has become one bit better after a year of Trump. Just more everyday chaos. I’m not richer. I don’t feel the country is richer. I certainly don’t feel it is more peaceful or secure. I can see NOTHING in what Trump has done that puts us in less of a new world order in exchange for the disrespect of other nations! All he is delivering is a NEW new world order, targeted all the more specifically to the benefit of elite billionaires, which is also a new order focused all around the mercurial Trump and whatever his rage drives him to do on any given Sunday. Trump is building a new world order around himself.” – David Haggith

 – WELL  SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Trump’s threats escalate in unreasonableness – “It appears that the so-called Board of Peace does not have peace as its function. Instead, the purpose seems to be to raise billions of dollars to finance Trump’s plan of turning Gaza into an upscale resort. In place of Palestine there will be the Gaza Board of Peace Resort chaired by Donald Trump.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Evangelicals Are Still Fighting Old Covenant Wars – “President Donald Trump has not changed his followers; he has exposed them. Trump’s loyalists know exactly who and what he is—and they don’t care. In fact, in many ways, they like him more because of who and what he is. And what they like most about Trump is that he gives them validation for their own hatred, bigotry and carnality. That’s why it’s useless to try and enlighten Trump’s followers to who and what he is as a means of changing their minds. They know who and what he is. They like him because of who and what he is. They like him because they are just like him. Evangelicals know that Trump is not America-first. They know that he is Israel-first. And evangelicals like Trump for being Israel-first, because they are Israel-first. From the inception of the Zionist state, Zionists have been possessed with the spirit of war. That statement is absolutely, categorically unassailable. ” – Chuck Baldwin

Immigration enforcement: why this time is different – “Adventures in tinfoil cattery and receipt piles. ICE under Obama rounded up and deported millions of people. No one got the vapors. No one cared. Both sides of the aisle applauded. This was an obvious, bipartisan plan, popular, and a staple of democratic party politics. No one called it “fascism” and “literally Hitler.” This dates back to the 90’s (and likely much further as a core political value for the American left.” – El Gato Malo

Is Israel Preparing Nuclear Bombs for Iran According to “The Samson Option”? – “Last week, Israeli press reported a 4.2 earthquake in Dimona, near a major nuclear facility. There has been speculation that what caused the earthquake was a nuclear bomb explosion underground. Max Blumenthal was interviewed on The Jimmy Dore Show a few days ago where they were discussing the Iran situation, and when he mentioned this earthquake in Dimona within the context of Israel trying to put pressure on Trump to attack Iran, he brought up the topic of “The Samson Option” which has been allegedly used to blackmail U.S. Presidents in the past to gain their military support.” – Brian Shilhavy

Lavrov Warned About The US’ Attempt To Establish Strategic Superiority Over Russia – “Russia has proven that it’s capable of retaining its nuclear second-strike capabilities, but the US’ continued attempt to neutralize them is very unfriendly, which greatly impedes any possible “New Détente” after the end of the Ukrainian Conflict.” – Andrew Korybko

There Is A Huge 30 State US Storm Coming “This Weekend,” Which COULD Leave Millions Without Power: How To Prepare, At A Minimum: And Why Isn’t Anybody Talking About It? – “It’s got that feeling to it—disconnect between “what they’re telling us,” and what might hit us. Since “who-could-have known?” is the favorite feature of the modern PSY OP factory. I’m a little angry at everybody who has low awareness levels about this. When it comes to “storms” I take a straight better-safe-than-sorry approach, as having been overly “alarmed” is not a detriment—just means maybe you are left with extra provisions, and/or life lessons, if it’s not too bad. What does trouble me is that nobody’s talking about this one, and for the first time in my memory, it has no human name—only “Major Winter Storm.”’ – Celia Farber

Animals do not adjust to disruption the way people do. They still need consistent food, clean water, containment, and basic medical care, even when every outside support has vanished.” – Rhonda Owen
