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

Notice Anything Missing From Those Winter Storm Stories? – “what’s curiously missing from this and other accounts of the winter storm is the obligatory mention of “climate change” as the cause. It seems that bad winter weather is just weather. Whereas bad summer weather is always – always – and prominently blamed on our burning fossil fuels.” – I & I Editorial Board

MAHA Bait and Switch? Trump’s EPA Calls for Review of Fluoride Science While Ignoring Historic Ruling on Fluoride – “The MAHA movement ought to celebrate that the harms associated with fluoride are finally being debated, but it should not turn a blind eye to the EPA’s efforts to sidestep the 2024 federal ruling that ordered the agency to take regulatory action.” – Derrick Broze

“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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Clickbait: How a Five-Year-Old Boy Become the Latest Prop in Post-Truth Politics – “It was an all-too-familiar pattern. Even after it was debunked, Gov. Tim Walz was still raising it late last week to paint ICE as soulless, depraved thugs. It simply does not matter that it is untrue in our post-truth political environment.” – Jonathan Turley
Latest Federal Killing in Minnesota Echoes Ruby Ridge – ““How many of the Trump supporters cheering the killing of the Minneapolis demonstrator today would also cheer for the FBI sniper killing Vicki Weaver in her cabin door at Ruby Ridge in 1992?”” – James Bovard – AND LAVOY FINICUM AS WELL!!!!
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!!!

ECONOMIC NEWS
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. The controlled opposition has been crying wolf so long and so loud that nobody can hear the real warnings anymore. But eventually, the wolf actually showed up. People forget that part of the fable.” – 🐺The Wise Wolf and Lily-Rose Dawson
Why the Next Recession Will Be the Catalyst for Depression – “What few seem to understand is 1) the last “real recession” that cleared excesses of debt, leverage and speculation was 1980-82, 45 years ago and 2) the buffers that enabled the eventual recovery back then are gone.” – Charles Hugh Smith – GOOD READ FROM CHARLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Failure to Deliver Gold & Silver Calamity Coming (VIDEO) with Bill Holter – ” We are nowhere finished with record prices for the metals happening every week and sometimes every day. 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

SURVIVAL, PREPAREDNESS AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY
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. No repair crews. No backup heat humming in the background. Yet families endured cold that would shut down entire cities today.” – Bill Heid

VERSES FOR THE DAY
Job 37:5-10 God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend. For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength. He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work. Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places. Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north. By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
