Where Are the Climate-Related Disasters? – “After 25 years of claimed record heat, extreme weather refuses to cooperate” – Dr. Matthew Wielick

Canada Is Not “Safe” We’re Walking Into the Mouth of the Dragon – “Wake up, Canada. This isn’t speculation. It isn’t conspiracy. It’s on camera. During a formal bilateral meeting in Beijing, aired by CPAC … Mark Carney said the quiet part out loud: “… the progress that we have made in the partnership sets us up well for the new world order.” Those words were spoken deliberately, in a scripted diplomatic setting, before Chinese leadership, with translators present, flags behind him, and a permanent public record. This was not a slip. This was framing.” – Connie Shields

Cash Is Criminal: New Trump Admin Law Triggers An IRS Report For Withdrawing $200 From A Bank From Select Communities To Combat Fraud And Illegal Immigrants. – “The Trump administration quietly enacted a new law on select portions of the United States that could drastically affect cash usage, under the guise of clamping down on fraud and illicit activity.” – The WinePress

GoFundMe Is Now America’s Moral Tip Jar – “New retirement plan: mouth off, get fired, rake in cash. There was a time when GoFundMe existed to help the truly unfortunate: victims of medical catastrophes, freak accidents, natural disasters…Those days are now filed under “cultural artifacts” somewhere between Blockbuster Video and MySpace. The crowdfunded piggy bank has officially morphed into a virtue-signaling moral tip jar, where any sufficiently theatrical act of public defiance—especially if it is aimed in the vague direction of Donald Trump—can be instantly converted into cash, clout, and digital sainthood.” – Jenna McCarthy

Painkillers prescribed to 4.5 million Britons slapped with addiction warning by health chiefs after drugs safety review – “Addiction warnings are being strengthened on some of the UK’s most widely prescribed pain, anxiety and sleep medicines. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) ordered the move after a safety review flagged risks linked to gabapentinoid painkillers, benzodiazepine tranquillisers and Z-drugs used for sleep. Gabapentinoids include drugs such as gabapentin and pregabalin, primarily prescribed for nerve pain and epilepsy but also used for conditions including anxiety. ” – Emma Gritt

NEWS

An Assault on the Republic – “When the president takes an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution, he agrees to follow the law, whether he agrees with it or not. ​When the president takes the oath, he promises to execute the office “faithfully.” James Madison feared a cross-your-fingers-behind-your-back moment if the word faithfully were not in the oath. ​Now back to Trump. By claiming that “on the world stage” — language used by the reporter who questioned Trump, not by Trump himself — only his mind and morality can restrain him, he has revealed by his own choice of words what his presidential behavior has already manifested. He obviously rejects the obligation to execute his job faithfully. His loyalty is to himself, not to the words or the values underlying the Constitution.” – Judge Andrew P. Napolitano

When Trump Bombs Iran – “The obviously imminent (because obviously planned) attack on Iran by the United States (on behalf of Israel) could occur any moment. Perhaps before I finish typing this article. Probably it will happen within a day or two of the publication of this article. Everything is proceeding according to the plan probably cooked up at Mara Lago a couple weeks ago, when Benny “Netanyahu,” the president of the United States, met with his viceroy, who was instructed, per usual, to put Israel First. It was announced – clumsily, because it’s so tediously obvious – that the United States would attack Iran on behalf of Israel if “protestors” in Iran were harmed by the Iranian government. This comes from the viceroy who never protests the killing of thousands of children and old people in Israel – who just happened to be in the way of Israeli rifles.” – Eric Peters

Will Trump next try to kidnap Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei? – “The Western media are assisting the descent into barbarism through their well-honed lies and pandering to the imperialist thuggery of Trump’s regime.” – Finian Cunningham

America 2.0: Under Foreign Occupation – “One nation under ZOG. Americans labor under the belief that they are a free people. We get to elect our leaders, after all, and are protected by the Bill of Rights. We’re not like those poor saps in shithole countries like Venezuela.” – Donald Jeffries

Act Now? – “Don’t be too surprised if sometime later this day, Friday, the president invokes the Insurrection Act to tranquilize the city of Minneapolis, since aerial spraying of Olanzapine is probably out of the question. Where, oh where, are the mythologized “nice,” and “above-average” people of Minnesota, once praised in song and sketch on those long-ago Saturday nights of The Prairie Home Companion? They have been replaced by a mutant army of psychotic Transtifa wendigos on the payroll of Arabella Advisors (now operating as Sunflower Services), or the Tides Foundation, or some other Soros-connected money-laundry.” – James Howard Kunstler

Minnesota Is Rejecting Federal Sovereignty, The Insurrection Act Exists for This Moment – “The Insurrection Act is an old statute with a modern purpose. It is a legal bridge between two truths that sit uneasily together. One truth is that the US is a union of states with real sovereignty in matters of policing and public order. The other truth is that the US is one nation with one set of federal laws, one Constitution, and one federal government charged with executing its laws everywhere. When those truths collide, a republic needs a rule for who must yield, and under what conditions. The Insurrection Act supplies that rule.” – Alexander Muse / Amuse on X – HOWEVER THERE IS A FINE LINE HERE WHERE THE USE OF THIS CREATES A POLICE STATE!!!!

The Art of Demolishing Conventional Wisdom – “Imake no bones about my support for President Trump. I find him a breath of truth-infused fresh air in an age of pretending that has long been dedicated to constructing, spreading, and anointing the “narrative.” If your personal politics overlap to some degree with President Trump’s worldview, the previous paragraph is filled with self-evident truths. What is remarkable is that every one of the above statements represents a contentious policy disagreement in the United States and across the West today. Ever since President Trump came on the political scene and refused to pander to the Establishment’s brand of “political correctness” or pay homage to the political Left’s secular-yet-sacred shibboleths, Americans have aggressively separated into warring tribes.” – J.B. Shurk  – SOME SUPPORT HIM SOME DON’T. I TRY TO SHOW BOTH SIDES AND LET YOU MAKE YOUR OWN JUDGEMENTS. FOR EXAMPLE READ CHUCK BALDWIN’S TAKE YESTERDAY!!!!

Tovia Singer 💜 Loves Darby and Scofield 💜 And Here’s Why – “Why dispensationalism serves his argument better than truth ever could. my iPad was on the counter, and I glanced at it just long enough to see a new video by Tovia Singer. I hesitated, then pressed play anyway. I wish I didn’t… What he said needs to be answered – for the sake of truth and for the sake of exposing such unbearable lies and contradictions he so confidently spews out. First, he goes straight for the Church Fathers and keeps calling them “virulent antisemites,”What he never tells his audience is that rabbinic and Talmudic literature is full of hatred toward Christ, His mother, Christians, and Gentiles in general. Not polite disagreement or mild criticism. Open contempt and mockery. Dehumanization. That reality is carefully avoided by Tovia every time this subject comes up. There is no popular word for hatred toward Gentiles. No “anti-Gentilism” category. No watchdog groups tracking it. No headlines about it. Why? So the imbalance stays hidden, and only one side of the “hostility “is ever allowed into the conversation.” – Jana S Bennun

Clickbait Diplomacy – “Sometimes it isn’t what is being said that’s important, but the volume of the message that tells the truth. From out of almost nowhere, the X message from liberals is that somehow the actions of ICE are totalitarian and dystopian, but when the FBI came after grandmothers praying in front of the capitol on January 6th, that wasn’t. ” – T.L. Davis

ECONOMIC NEWS

“The Dollar Is Fine,” Says Everyone Watching It Burn – “As predicted, the world is moving away from the U.S. dollar and treasuries. The world was quietly and stubbornly walking away from the US dollar and US Treasuries the last half decade, that walk is becoming a march, and “quietly” is turning to “loudly”.” – Quoth the Raven

Food Inflation Gets Hot, but Not Every Item: A Look at Beef, Chicken, Coffee, Eggs, Dairy, Fruit & Vegetables, “Other Foods” – “The CPI for “Food at home” – food that people buy at stores, markets, or online and consume off premise – jumped by 0.72% month-to-month (+9.0% annualized), the biggest jump since August 2022, after a slight decline in the prior month, according to the CPI data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This increase pushed the year-over-year increase to 2.4%.” – Wolf Richter

Debt Data Continues to Signal Deep Consumer Stress – “Consumer borrowing cratered further in November, likely reflecting growing consumer stress, as price inflation persists and credit cards become maxed out. That’s bad news for a U.S. economy that depends on consumers buying stuff. Persistent price inflation forced Americans to blow through their savings and then turn to credit cards to make ends meet.” – Mike Maharrey

America is now Growing Faster than China – Peter St Onge

Why Silver is One of the Most In-Demand Metals on the Planet – “Silver has been on a tear lately, soaring to all-time highs and gaining more than 150% since last year, outpacing even gold. It has quietly become one of the most in-demand metals on the planet. Bill Armour joins us to discuss why people still have time to take advantage of the surge.” – Maria Zeee / Daily Pulse

Silver Price Tripled In A Year: What Happens If It Keeps Going? – “Can the same structures that have kept silver subdued for decades still function if the demand for the physical metal continues to accelerate? ” – G. Calder

Shanghai Silver Price Still Over $100 /oz. As SLV ETF Is Raided For Physical Silver Bars – “The Shanghai silver price maintains an increasing premium over Western silver prices at $101.06 /oz. on a very tight physical global silver market. India continues with a 17% silver price premium to London. The Asian silver vacuum is on. Today is an options expiry day for stocks on US exchanges and many silver mining stocks have seen very large increases over the past month with large banks having issued (shorted) these options into the market. I would expect to see heavy selling of silver in the paper metal market today in an attempt to minimize losses as many of the call options, that increase in value with rising prices of underlying equity prices, are deeply ‘in the money’ after torrid January gains.” – David Jensen

The Survival Skill Most Preppers Skip: Preparedness That Keeps You Alive – “I’ve spent over 30 years in the outdoors and 15 years deep in preparedness. I’ve worked as a Division I strength coach and a Human Performance Specialist for Naval Special Warfare. I’ve tested myself in conditions that would break most people. I can tell you this with absolute certainty: the most critical survival tools aren’t in your pack. They’re in your head, your body, and your faith.” – Jason Salyer

Turning Heavy Snowfall into a Water Advantage – “A major snowfall doesn’t just create hazards—it delivers one of the largest short-term water windfalls of the year. While most households see buried driveways and frozen pipes, prepared households see hundreds of litres of raw water already on site. Used correctly, snowfall becomes an asset.” – denob

Preparedness Lessons From Communist Mongolia – Part 1 – “We lived in Mongolia in the early 1990s, for a few years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, during a time when the system had officially ended but its habits had not yet loosened their grip on daily life. I was in my early thirties, married, with two young daughters, trying to build a life far from anything familiar. We were not passing through, and we were not insulated expatriates. We were attempting to function inside the local economy, under local conditions, with consequences that were immediate and personal. At the time, I did not think of what we were doing as preparedness. I had no language for it.” – G.K.
