Apparently, the SPLC isn't just 'funding' groups like the KKK. Reports now show that the SPLC was paying Klan members TO STAY in the Klan! The SPLC paid for hoods and robes, crosses for burning, recruitment efforts, and living expenses. Anyone who has ever given a dime to the SPLC should be furious right now.

Jared Kushner admits his friend Nat Rothschild was the one who helped him find his new off-the-grid private island in the middle of the Mediterranean while he was on his boat on vacation.

Kushner says he had a private meeting with Albania’s Prime Minister on Rothschild’s boat.

The private island will be exclusively for the rich, the powerful, and the elites.

“We were on a friend’s boat, Nat Rothschild’s, on vacation.”

🚨BREAKING: Apple’s next AirPods will have cameras built into them.

Not for photography. The cameras are designed to feed visual information directly to Siri, turning your earbuds into an eyes-on AI assistant that understands what is in front of you.

Point them at your fridge and ask what to cook. Walk into a room and ask what you are looking at. Siri sees what you see.

A privacy LED will light up whenever visual data is being transmitted, so there is always a visible signal when the cameras are active.

Enhanced Siri arrives in September. Production on the camera AirPods is already underway.

The SpaceX IPO is the most brazen retail fleecing in modern market history.

NASDAQ has REWRITTEN the index rules specifically for this listing. The 10% minimum free float requirement: gone. The 3 to 12 month seasoning period before index inclusion: cut to 15 trading days. Companies with small floats can now be weighted at 3x their actual float.

Translation: every passive index fund, every 401k, every pension is about to be force-fed SPCX whether they want it or not.

And what exactly are they buying?

Class A shares carrying ONE vote each, while Musk holds 93.6% of the Class B super voting shares at TEN votes each. That gives him 85.1% of voting power on a 42% economic interest. He cannot be outvoted. He cannot be removed. CEO, CTO and board chairman simultaneously.

For reference: Zuckerberg controls 61% of Meta. Buffett 35% of Berkshire. Musk: 85.1%.

SpaceX is also claiming "controlled company" status, exempting it from needing a majority of independent directors. Shareholders waive the right to a jury trial. They waive the right to class actions. Mandatory arbitration only, courtesy of an SEC rule change pushed through on a party line vote last September.

$1.75 trillion valuation. $80 billion raise. Largest IPO in history.

The rules of the game were quietly rewritten so one man could extract maximum capital from retail while answering to no one.

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

Absolutely incredible:

Over the last 6 years, the S&P 500 has risen +130% while US Consumer Sentiment has collapsed by -55%, to its lowest since data began in 1952.

We are witnessing the formation of the biggest wealth divide in modern history.

@GoodPoliticGuy Dude, this is totally the same person, how dare you?!? I, too, routinely shed 15 years for the camera. Or, is it add 10 pounds? I can't remember. Either way, how dare you? 👇 This is the same guy. 👇

I don't think President Trump should travel to China right now. @SenRickScott agrees:

“I’m not gonna go. I don’t think it’s safe… They have elected to be our enemy. Think about how many Americans they’ve killed with fentanyl. They tried to destroy all of our companies. They’re threatening our allies. They’ve already taken over some islands from the Philippines, they threaten Taiwan all the time, and they steal organs from their own citizens.

They put Jimmy Lai, a friend of mine, in prison, only because he ran a newspaper in Hong Kong before Xi illegally took away all the basic rights of the Hong Kong citizens. He's been in solitary confinement for five years.

I admire President Trump. I admire his guts, and I would never bet against him. But I think that nothing good is going to happen.”

[Americas Gold & Silver @americas_silver]

We’re proud to share a record quarter to start 2026 at Americas Gold & Silver (TSX: $USA.TO | NYSE American: $USAS).

* 787,000 ounces of silver produced (+76% YoY)
* 830,000 ounces of silver sold (record)
* Continued strong by-product production across copper, lead, and antimony

As we continue advancing key infrastructure upgrades and our largest-ever exploration program, our growth trajectory remains firmly on track.

🚨 MAJOR REFINERY FIRE — GLOBAL ENERGY PRESSURE BUILDS

Massive fire reported at the Dos Bocas Refinery in Tabasco, Mexico.

One of Mexico’s key refining assets — now disrupted.

At a time when:
• Global fuel supply is tightening
• Middle East routes are under pressure
• Refineries are already stretched

Every disruption matters.

This is how shortages begin —
not with one event…

But a series of shocks.

Mid-Week Macro

The S&P 500 closed today at an ATH at 7022, and the futures for tomorrow's open are currently at 7075. My reaction? Wall Street is high on hopium. I expect the S&P 500 to crash in 2026 and close the year below 4500. Wall Street clearly thinks the war in Iran is over. I have my doubts. I still expect this to have a messy ending that could linger.

Even if the war ends in April (best-case scenario), we still have high inflation, high interest rates, and high gasoline prices. None of those will drop back to pre-war levels anytime soon. If the war doesn’t end in April, these factors will only get worse.

I thought the economy was slowing without the war, and the war surely didn’t help. Geopolitical stress remains and is not going away. Inflation remains and is not going away. The list of headwinds for the economy is numerous (I recently listed 25 on X), and the S&P 500 has no business at ATH levels.

Gold and silver are both stuck in a price range. It’s unlikely they will run to new ATHs before we get our next correction on Wall Street. I want to buy several gold and silver miners right now, but the smart move is to wait. It is difficult to put the brakes on and wait for the next correction. But it’s coming. We might have to wait several weeks, and perhaps months, but it’s coming. That’s my take. The S&P won't get to 4500 in 2026 without gold and silver getting smashed.

@LanceRoberts @johnauthers @Bloomberg Foreign dependence on oil, yes.

Foreign dependence on capital, no. 👇

If oil prices stay too high, it is a mathematical certainty that foreigners who own $27tn more in USD assets than we own of theirs (180-degree opposite of 1973👇) will sell USTs & US stocks to buy energy.
