(Headline USA) Authorities say a person was in custody Saturday after six people were killed in a series of related shootings in eastern Mississippi.
Clay County Sheriff Eddie Scott said in a Facebook post that “multiple innocent lives” were lost “due to violence” in the town of West Point, near the Alabama border. The sheriff told WTVA that six people were killed in three locations.
A suspect was in custody and there was no threat to the community, the sheriff wrote on Facebook.
“I ask that you lift our victims and their families in your prayers Law Enforcement is busy investigating and will release an update as soon as possible,” he wrote.
The sheriff’s office did not provide further details early Saturday, but planned a morning news conference.
(Headline USA) The head of the FBI’s New York field office has been named co-deputy director of the bureau, replacing Dan Bongino following his recent departure, an FBI spokesperson said Friday.
Christopher Raia, who helped lead the response to the deadly truck attack in New Orleans on New Year’s Day last year, was picked to run the New York office in April after having served as a top counterterrorism official at FBI headquarters. A former Coast Guard officer, Raia joined the FBI in 2003 and during the course of his two-decade career has investigated violent crime, drugs and gangs as well as overseen counterterrorism and national security investigations.

As a career FBI agent, Raia is a more conventional selection for the FBI’s No. 2 job than was Bongino, a popular conservative podcaster who had previously served as a Secret Service agent but had never worked for the FBI until being selected by the Trump administration last year.
Raia is expected to serve as co-deputy director alongside Andrew Bailey, the former Missouri attorney general who was named to the job last August. He is scheduled to start next week.
He became the head of the New York field office after his predecessor, James Dennehy, who was reported to have resisted Justice Department efforts to scrutinize agents who participated in politically sensitive investigations, was forced to retire.
Bongino announced last month that he was departing the bureau following a brief and tumultuous tenure.
In May, he falsely claimed that the FBI had video proving that deceased multimillionaire sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein killed himself. However, the DOJ Inspector General had already released a report stating that no such video footage exists—and indeed, the video released by the FBI this year didn’t even show Epstein’s cell.
Bongino also defended the FBI’s investigation into the July 2024 Trump assassination attempt, insisting that the would-be assassin acted alone and that the FBI acted properly by releasing his body for cremation and hosing down the AGR rooftop the day after the event. Bongino told the widow of the firefighter who died in the attempt, Helen Comperatore, that the FBI would be releasing more information on the event—but the bureau never did.
Most recently, Bongino has touted the arrest of an autistic black man in the Jan. 6 pipe bombs case, flip-flopping on his earlier remarks as a podcaster that the incident was an inside job.
He officially ended his tenure last week.
No immediate successor was named for Raia in New York.
(Headline USA) Federal immigration agents shot and wounded two people allegedly affiliated with the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang outside a hospital in Portland on Thursday, a day after an officer fatally shot a woman in Minnesota, authorities said.
The shooting drew hundreds of protesters to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building at night, and Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield vowed to investigate “whether any federal officer acted outside the scope of their lawful authority” and refer criminal charges to the prosecutor’s office if warranted.
Yesterday, two suspected Tren de Aragua gang associates—let loose on American streets by Joe Biden—weaponized their vehicle against Border Patrol in Portland. The agent took immediate action to defend himself and others, shooting them.
The Department of Homeland Security said the vehicle’s passenger was “a Venezuelan illegal alien affiliated with the transnational Tren de Aragua prostitution ring” who was involved in a recent shooting in the city. When agents identified themselves to the occupants during a “targeted vehicle stop” in the afternoon, the driver tried to run them over, the department said in a statement.
“Fearing for his life and safety, an agent fired a defensive shot,” it said. “The driver drove off with the passenger, fleeing the scene.”
There was no immediate independent corroboration of that account or of any gang affiliation of the vehicle’s occupants. The incident comes a day after an ICE agent shot and killed an American woman who struck him with her vehicle.
According to the Portland Police bureau, officers initially responded to a report of a shooting outside Adventist Health hospital at 2:18 p.m. Thursday.
A few minutes later, police received information that a man who had been shot was asking for help in a residential area a couple of miles away. Officers went there and found a man and a woman with gunshot wounds. Officers determined that they were injured in the shooting with federal agents, police said.
Their conditions were not immediately known. Portland police said officers applied a tourniquet to one of them.
City Council President Elana Pirtle-Guiney said during a meeting that “as far as we know, both of these individuals are still alive, and we are hoping for more positive updates throughout the afternoon.”
At a nighttime news conference, Police Chief Bob Day said the FBI was leading the investigation and he had no details about the events that led to the shooting. He did confirm the two wounded people’s ties to Tren de Aragua.

Mayor Keith Wilson and the City Council called on ICE to end all operations in Oregon’s largest city until a full investigation is completed.
Wilson also suggested at a news conference that he does not necessarily believe the federal government’s account of the shooting: “There was a time we could take them at their word. That time is long past.”
Several dozen people gathered in the evening near the scene where police found the wounded people.
(José Niño, Headline USA) An extremist blog associated with Antifa has claimed to release personal information on approximately 14,000 Department of Homeland Security associates via the dark web, according to reports circulating through conservative media outlets.
Journalist Andy Ngo shared the allegation on January 8 through hisTwitter account, citing ngocomment.com as his source.
The claim remains unverified by mainstream cybersecurity firms, federal agencies, or established media organizations as of this week. The Department of Homeland Security has not issued public statements confirming or denying the alleged breach. If accurate, the scope would dramatically exceed confirmed incidents from recent months.
This alleged leak emerges within a documented pattern of attacks against federal personnel. In October 2025, the hacking collective “The Com” released personal details of approximately 680 DHS officials, over 170 FBI agents, and more than 190 Justice Department officials through private Telegram channels, per a report by Wired. That verified breach exposed names, addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers.
A separate confirmed incident involved Sedgwick Government Solutions, a federal contractor serving multiple agencies including DHS, ICE, and CBP. The TridentLocker ransomware gang claimed responsibility for stealing 3.4 gigabytes of data from the contractor on December 31, 2025, posting samples to theirdark web leak site.
Additionally, a widespread cybersecurity incident at FEMA allowed hackers to steal employee data from both FEMA and Customs and Border Protection between June and September 2025. This breach prompted DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to dismiss approximately 24 FEMA IT staff members in August 2025.
The political environment surrounding these incidents has intensified significantly. The Trump administration designated certain international Antifa groups as foreign terrorist organizations, with four groups officially labeled in November 2025. FBI leadership has identified Antifa as a top priority, though Congressional Democrats have questioned whether sufficient evidence supports treating the decentralized movement as an organized threat.
Secretary Kristi Noem herself reported being subjected to “vicious doxxing on the dark web” in August 2025, leading her to relocate to military housing after the media published the location of her Washington D.C. apartment.
Research from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue indicates Antifa literature actively encourages followers to publicize information including home addresses, phone numbers, photographs, and social media profiles of perceived adversaries. In June 2018, at least 1,500 ICE employees were doxxed by an Antifa linked Twitter account and subjected to violent threats, according to legislation introduced by outgoing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in January 2025.
The convergence of documented cyberattacks, confirmed doxxing operations, and alleged dark web leaks creates an environment where DHS personnel and their families face credible threats. In October, the agency claimed ICE officers experienced a “more than 1000% increase in assaults” and that families were being doxxed and threatened online, though these specific statistics have not been independently verified.

(Money Metals News Service) In a recent episode of the Money Metals podcast, host Mike Maharrey welcomes back Greg Weldon and notes Weldon’s long career that began in the 1980s on the trading floor in the gold and silver pits.
Maharrey says the last time Weldon appeared, in mid-October, gold had just pushed above $4,300 and silver was breaking $54. Now, he says, gold is about $150 higher and silver has surged close to $80.
Weldon says the speed of silver’s move does not surprise him. He points to a level he had emphasized earlier. Silver had repeatedly struggled around $36.50. In his view, once silver achieved a daily close above $36.50, the issue was no longer whether silver could reach $50, but how quickly it could get there.
He also references a call he made for clients on February 14, 2025. He titled it the “Silver Squeeze.” Weldon says people have talked about a squeeze for decades, but he has been “waiting 42 years” to see conditions align again, recalling the 1980s era after the Hunt Brothers episode. In his telling, what looks sudden to the mainstream is usually the visible phase of a longer shift that has been building beneath the surface.
(Interview Starts Around 8:07 Mark)
Is There a Real Shortage of Silver
Maharrey asks whether the squeeze narrative is mainly about metal being in the wrong place, with commentators focusing on flows between New York and London. He wants to know whether there is a true shortage of silver.
Weldon answers that, when he adds up the numbers, he believes it is a real shortage. He says he tracks warehouse inventories and supply-demand balance, and he argues there is not enough inventory to meet demand if delivery pressure rises.
He acknowledges the logistics story, including metal moving out of London into the U.S. earlier when tariff concerns created unusual premiums, and then shifting as the situation changed. He adds India to the picture, saying shipments into India have increased as the Indian rupee makes new all-time lows with striking regularity.
To illustrate potential upside pressure, Weldon offers a currency-based comparison. He says that if you translate the rupee’s move over the last five years into what it implies for U.S. dollar pricing, silver would be at $229.50. He stresses he does not treat that as a prediction. He prefers projected levels and argues that rigid forecasts often underestimate major regime moves.
Paper Claims, Delivery Risk, and the Chance of a Market Shock
Weldon argues that the system holds together until too many participants demand delivery rather than paper exposure. He says if investors sought delivery through ETFs or futures mechanisms, eligible inventories could be consumed rapidly.
He points to the LME nickel episode as a cautionary precedent. He describes a spike from $20,000 to $100,000 a ton, a 10-day market closure, and a reset around $27,000 with trades wiped out. He warns that if silver is treated as a strategic metal and export restrictions tighten, the market could become disorderly.
$50 Silver, $100 Silver, and the Bigger Driver Behind It
Maharrey raises the question that many investors argue about after every sharp pullback. He notes a recent correction from just above $80 down close to $70 and says pundits quickly claimed the bubble had popped and prices would return to $50 or even $30. He asks Weldon whether $50 or $100 is more likely this year.
Weldon says he can imagine both outcomes, depending on the path. He suggests $50 could come first, and then $100. He also says that if silver reaches $100, it may not return to $50.
He rejects the bubble framing and says the move is not mainly about hype. He argues the bigger turning point came after 2008, when money creation accelerated, and U.S. public debt exceeded GDP. In his view, silver is responding to a broader shift in monetary credibility and currency structure, along with a global drift away from the dollar.
The Debt Black Hole and Weldon’s Case for Ongoing Dollar Depreciation
Maharrey brings up Weldon’s “debt black hole” metaphor and says he has started using it publicly. Weldon expands the argument with figures. He cites $36 trillion in public debt and says total debt reaches $56 trillion when household leverage is included. He adds that $30 trillion of the public debt has been sold to the public.
Weldon argues the public is being repaid in a dollar that has depreciated 97% since 1985. He says the system will be forced into repeated depreciation because that becomes the easiest way to keep debt service manageable.
He also argues the U.S. lost the chance for an organic adjustment decades ago, referencing 1990 and 1991 as a moment when debt reduction and healthier growth could have been pursued. He says later shocks compounded the situation, including 2000, 2008, and the pandemic. In his framing, the U.S. has crossed the event horizon, meaning it cannot escape the pull of debt, and money creation becomes the default “propulsion.”
World War X and the Commodities Battle
Maharrey asks about China’s export restrictions on silver and what Beijing is trying to accomplish. Weldon calls it one weapon in a much wider struggle. He describes a global conflict he calls World War X, centered on resources, commodities, energy, and food, including rare earth elements and rare earth oxides.
Weldon says the U.S. is structurally vulnerable in rare earth supply chains. He claims the U.S. has one mine and lacks full domestic capacity for separation, concentration, refinement, and production. He says the U.S. is 97% reliant on China.
He brings Greenland into the discussion. He says Greenland holds 1.5 million tons of rare earths under the ice. He compares that to 2.3 million tons for the U.S., and 63.5 million tons for China and Russia combined.
He then shifts to the Arctic as an arena where competition could intensify. He notes Russia has built military bases, and the U.S. has installations in the region. He says China claims it is an Arctic nation. He references the Arctic Institute and says an agreement on cooperation ends in 2026, with growing concern that cooperation is turning into competition.
Platinum and Palladium as Trades, Not the Same Thesis as Gold and Silver
Maharrey asks about the sharp move in platinum and whether it is driven by the same macro setup as silver. Weldon says yes and no. He says platinum and palladium produced larger profits for his clients than gold and silver because the move was fast and the prices were low enough to create strong risk-reward leverage.
He points to supply-demand tightening, including a fourth straight year of annual supply deficit for platinum, meaning consumption exceeds production. He says shrinking inventories and improved performance in South African platinum stocks were key tells.
Weldon draws a distinction, though. He sees gold and silver as monetary metals, even as they have industrial and technological demand. He views platinum and palladium as more tied to industrial demand and treats them more as trading metals. He also suggests that palladium has lagged as technology shifts, including the rise of EVs.
The Fed’s December Pivot and a Return to Money Creation
Maharrey argues the Federal Reserve effectively restarted quantitative easing at the December meeting, even if it avoids the label. He says buying Treasuries with newly created money is QE in practice. He frames it as a symptom of the debt black hole because tight policy becomes difficult to sustain with massive debt loads.
Weldon agrees with the direction. He says he expected the Fed to be forced to accept higher inflation and that QE would return. He says he originally thought it would take 18 to 24 months, but it arrived sooner. He dismisses reserve-management explanations and says the policy reality is about keeping growth alive enough to service the debt.
Weldon’s Bootcamp and Why He Priced It at $29.95
Near the end, Maharrey asks Weldon to explain the trading bootcamp he created. Weldon says it started as a year-ahead outlook and became a reboot tied to the 20th anniversary of his original Trading Bootcamp.
He says it contains 12 lessons in 12 videos, about two and a half hours of instruction, plus more than 300 pages of charts. He says it covers macro monetary history, the debt black hole and global debt bubble, and ways to invest in metals through mining shares, ETFs, physical bars and coins, and futures. He emphasizes risk management, trading psychology, and the math required to avoid being “slaughtered” by leverage.
(Morgan Sweeney, The Center Square) Republican Rep. Doug LaMalfa, a staunch conservative who represented California’s rural 1st congressional district for just over 16 years after a decade serving in the state legislature, died suddenly on Monday at the age of 65.
LaMalfa’s death further narrows the majority Republicans now hold in the U.S. House of Representatives.
The cause of death is still unknown, as he recently appeared in good health, according to reports.
His colleagues lamented his death Tuesday, with many expressing condolences and reflections online.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., released a statement Tuesday morning, which he also shared on X.
“Congress is devastated to learn this morning about the passing of our dear friend and colleague, Doug LaMalfa,” Johnson wrote. “He was as fierce of a fighter for his state’s vast natural resources and beauty as we have ever known.”
Johnson went on to voice support for LaMalfa’s wife and family he leaves behind.
President Donald Trump also marked LaMalfa’s passing during his address to House Republicans at the House GOP member retreat Tuesday morning.
“I want to express our tremendous sorrow at the loss of a great member,” Trump said, describing LaMalfa as a “fierce champion on California water issues.”
He also said that LaMalfa voted with him “100% of the time.”
LaMalfa’s death coincided with former Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s resignation from Congress. Monday was her last day. Republicans now hold a five-member majority over Democrats in the House, 218-213.
Georgia will hold a special election to replace Greene, and California may do the same for LaMalfa.
Congressional midterm elections will take place in November. All 435 seats in the House will be up for re-election, as will 35 seats in the Senate.
During an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, Trump made the announcement, with plans to target Mexican drug cartels.
“We are going to start now hitting land, with regard to the cartels. The cartels are running Mexico,” the president told Hannity. “It’s very, very sad to watch and see what’s happened to that country, but the cartels are running and they’re killing 300,000 people in our country every single year.”
Trump touted his war on drugs, saying his administration has “knocked out 97% of the drugs coming in by water.”
The Trump administration has been busy carrying out over two dozen strikes on suspected narco-terrorists operating marine vessels in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific, leading up to last weekend’s massive air strikes on Venezuela and the capture of deposed Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
Unlike Maduro, the president has been more lenient with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, acknowledging that she is a good person, opting instead to criticize her leadership, claiming that Sheinbaum has been intimidated by the cartels.
Mexico has been accused of being a major passageway for the trafficking of the deadly drug fentanyl, among others.
Trump’s comments come on the heels of his threats to strike Colombia, only to appear to be backtracking after talking with Colombian President Gustavo Petro.
Following a call between the two leaders Wednesday evening, the pair appears to have had a productive conversation leading to a White House meeting in the “near future.”
“It was a Great Honor to speak with the President of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, who called to explain the situation of drugs and other disagreements that we have had,” the president posted to his Truth Social account. “I appreciated his call and tone.”
Prior to the call, tensions between the two leaders appeared high, with Trump threatening military action as of Sunday evening.
Onboard Air Force One during his return to Washington, the president was asked if the U.S. could target Colombia next on the heels of Saturday’s strike in Venezuela and the capture of Maduro.
Trump responded: “It sounds good to me.”
The president accused Petro of selling drugs to the U.S.
“Colombia is very sick, too, run by a sick man, who likes making cocaine and selling it to the United States, and he’s not going to be doing it very long,” Trump told reporters.
Petro appears to be trying to reassure the U.S. of his country’s commitment to fighting drug trafficking ahead of the proposed meeting.
“Dear U.S. Representative, Colombia has put 300,000 killed in the fight against drug trafficking, and in my government we have already seized 2,800 tons of cocaine and in the world’s seizure operations, Colombian intelligence has participated in 63% of them,” Petro posted to X on Thursday morning. “We have destroyed 13,000 cocaine laboratories in just three years. Remember it: my government is the one that has seized the most cocaine in the entire history of that substance in the world.”
(Ken Silva, Headline USA) The Justice Department disclosed Wednesday that some of its evidence against Asif Merchant, who is accused of working for Iran in a plot to assassinate Donald Trump, comes from a foreign government—one that wants to remain anonymous.
Merchant, a Pakistani national, was arrested on July 12, 2024—the day before Trump was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania—after allegedly trying to hire two undercover FBI agents posing as hitmen. The DOJ disclosed Wednesday that part of the FBI’s investigation entailed an agent traveling to a foreign country to obtain evidence from a phone owned by one of Merchant’s relatives.
“Among other things, data from the iPhone contains communications between the defendant and his relative regarding the defendant’s efforts to procure the $5,000 the defendant paid to the [undercover agents] as a down payment for his murder-for-hire plot,” the DOJ said.
🚨NEW: The DOJ has disclosed that it will introduce evidence in the "Iranian Trump assassination plot" that was obtained from a foreign government. The DOJ wants to hide the identity of this gov't. The defendant in this case is Pakistani, and has family there. https://t.co/dTDDpF3laOpic.twitter.com/PGSMx4Rm7p
The DOJ’s motion asked the presiding judge to prohibit Merchant’s attorneys from examining the FBI about where the phone came from.
“The information is sensitive because it would necessarily reveal the confidential cooperation of a foreign law enforcement partner,” the DOJ said in its motion. “That foreign partner has requested that its involvement in this matter remain confidential and not be made public. Should that partner’s cooperation become public, future cooperation may be hindered, and U.S. law enforcement authorities may lose the ability to obtain the type of evidence received in this case.”
The motion to keep the foreign government’s identity secret was one of several requests made by the DOJ this week. Prosecutors also asked the judge to prohibit Merchant from making an entrapment defense—even though he was under surveillance before he entered the U.S. in March 2024, and an FBI informant introduced him to the undercover agents posing as hitmen.
“Here, the defendant cannot meet the initial burden of production required for an entrapment defense and therefore should be precluded from raising it in his opening statement or otherwise,” the DOJ argued. “The evidence (including audio recordings and video recordings) shows that the defendant initiated the murder-for-hire plot, explained the plot to the [FBI informant], directed the [informant] to connect him with hitmen, and directed the hitmen on what he was looking to hire them to do.”

Additionally, the DOJ wants to keep the jury anonymous in the upcoming trial on the grounds that jurors could be endangered by the Iranian government.
Merchant’s lawyers have yet to respond to the motions. They did file a motion of their own, seeking to prohibit the DOJ from using classified evidence against their client.
“The government currently represents that it will not seek to use any of these non-produced ‘secret’ or ‘classified’ materials at trial,” Merchant’s lawyers said. “To prevent unfair surprise, this Court should preclude it from attempting to do so.”
Merchant has a status hearing scheduled for Jan. 27.

(Headline USA) Meta has cut a trio of deals to power its artificial intelligence data centers, securing enough energy to light up the equivalent of about 5 million homes.
The parent company of Facebook on Friday announced agreements with TerraPower, Oklo and Vistra for nuclear power for its Prometheus AI data center that is being built in New Albany, Ohio. Meta announced Prometheus, which will be a 1-gigawatt cluster spanning across multiple data center buildings, in July. It’s anticipated to come online this year.
Financial terms of the deals with TerraPower, Oklo and Vistra were not disclosed.
The Mark Zuckerberg-led Meta said in a statement on Friday that the three deals will support up to 6.6 gigawatts of new and existing clean energy by 2035. A single gigawatt, according to a general industry standard for utilities, can power about 750,000 homes.
“These projects add reliable and firm power to the grid, reinforce America’s nuclear supply chain, and support new and existing jobs to build and operate American power plants,” the company said.
Meta said its agreement with TerraPower will provide funding that supports the development of two new Natrium units capable of generating up to 690 megawatts of firm power with delivery as early as 2032. The deal also provides Meta with rights for energy from up to six other Natrium units capable of producing 2.1 gigawatts and targeted for delivery by 2035.
Meta will also buy more than 2.1 gigawatts of energy from two operating Vistra nuclear power plants in Ohio, in addition to the energy from expansions at the two Ohio plants and a third Vistra plant in Pennsylvania.
The deal with Oklo, which counts OpenAI’s Sam Altman as one of its largest investors, will help to develop a 1.2 gigawatt power campus in Pike County, Ohio to support Meta’s data centers in the region.
The nuclear power agreements come after Meta announced in June that it reached a 20-year deal with Constellation Energy.
(Headline USA) Republican Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has expressed alarm that a man who worked as his family’s bodyguard is facing federal drug trafficking charges.
Justin Salsburey, 43, of Bellefontaine, and his wife, Ruthann Rankin, were each charged late last month with conspiracy and possession with the intent to distribute large amounts of narcotics through the U.S. mail.
Salsburey was employed by a private security firm hired by the Ramaswamys for protective services, according to campaign spokesperson Connie Luck. She said that ARK Protection Group removed him from the family’s security detail immediately upon learning of the matter.
According to the criminal complaints, 261 parcels containing counterfeit OxyContin and other pills were delivered to the couple’s western Ohio home between August 2024 and last month. Rankin has been removed from her employment as a schoolteacher in nearby Urbana, according to a statement posted by the district.
Salsburey is being held in the Franklin County jail in Columbus, according to the facility’s website. It was not clear whether Rankin is being held.
“Vivek’s family contracts with a private security firm for protective services and was alarmed to hear this disturbing news,” Luck said in a text.
She said that Salsburey had cleared multiple background checks run by the security company, the FBI and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation prior to his employment. The most recent one was conducted by Ohio State University’s Wexner Medical Center in September, she said.
Salsburey also passed a pre-employment drug test and never failed a random drug screening, Luck said. A message left with an attorney who represented Salsburey in the past was not immediately returned.
“Vivek and his family take matters of safety seriously and support efforts to hold these individuals accountable for these allegations if they are proven,” Luck said. Adapted from reporting by the Associated Press.
