ANGELS CAMP, Calif.—Record-high gold prices hovering at about $5,000 per ounce have triggered a renewed interest in prospecting and mining and what could be the start of a mini gold rush in the California Mother Lode, according to local miners.
The historic belt of gold quartz veins in the Sierra Nevadas spawned the 19th-century gold rush and continues to draw modern prospectors.
The spike in gold prices has made small- and medium-scale mining operations more feasible, said Rusty Simpson, co-CEO of Meeting of the Mines Goldstrike Corp., based in Angels Camp.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's lavish faux-royal tour of Colombia in 2024 was funded by none other than billionaire George Soros, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The duo spent four days in the South American country at the invitation of Vice President Francia Márquez, who, along with Markle, did not disclose the details about who paid the $3.8million bill from the spend-happy couple, author Tom Bower claims in his new book, Betrayal: Power, Deceit and the Fight for the Future of the Royal Family.

Just when you think the Senate GOP couldn’t get any more useless than it already is, its members find a way to prove you wrong.
While the SAVE America Act continues to languish, the Department of Homeland Security (including ICE and Border Patrol) remains unfunded, and dozens of Trump nominees await confirmation, Senate Majority Leader John Thune did what any typical Republican would do. He sent the upper chamber home on a two-week vacation.
The entirely predictable scenario came about after Senate Republicans agreed with Democrats to pass a DHS package devoid of ICE and Border Patrol funding

The U.S. Federal Maritime Commission on March 26 accused China of detaining Panama-flagged vessels in response to Panama’s termination of Hong Kong-based CK Hutchison’s concessions for two key ports.Panama’s Supreme Court ruled in late January that the concessions held by Panama Ports Company, a unit of CK Hutchison, for the Balboa and Cristobal terminals in the Panama Canal were unconstitutional.
The ruling followed an audit by Panama’s comptroller, which alleged irregularities in the 25-year extension of the concession granted in 2021.
Following the ruling, Panama named U.S. subsidiaries Maersk APM Terminals and Mediterranean Shipping Company’s (MSC) Terminal Investment Limited as interim operators of the ports under 18-month contracts.

If you’ve ever watched the intrapersonal aspects of the EU as a governing body, you have likely noticed that EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, is an annoying person always injecting herself into every discussion. The DEI infected bureaucrats always go along with it.
Last month, Kallas came to the USA to meet with members of congress sympathetic to World War Reddit and Zelenskyy. A cashmere dustup was created because Secretary of State Marco Rubio didn’t meet with her on the eve of Operation Epic Fury. Mrs Kallas felt slighted.

GRAPEVINE, Texas—Europe is going to need a “Trump-style revolution” to turn back the tide of illegal immigration that has changed the face of Europe, according to two former prime ministers.
Liz Truss, former British Prime Minister, told those attending the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) that an elite class in Britain and Europe wants to destroy Western civilization.
“There has been a globalist movement,” she said. “They captured the institutions, universities, mainstream media, corporate sector, and bureaucracy. They believe in open borders.”Truss said the conservative party in Britain didn’t do enough to stop the globalists who support illegal immigrants and transgender ideology, and don’t believe the family is important.

Millions of student loan borrowers who thought they wouldn’t have to pay back their student loans under former President Joe Biden’s loan forgiveness plan found out March 27 they will have to start making payments on the money they borrowed.
The U.S. Department of Education began notifying 7.5 million borrowers on March 27 who enrolled in Biden’s “Saving on a Valuable Education” (SAVE) plan that they must exit the plan and enter a new federal repayment plan.
“Today’s guidance, which every borrower enrolled in the defunct SAVE plan will receive over the next week, puts the Biden Administration’s illegal student loan bailout agenda to rest once and for all,”

The more NATO/EU hypocrisy creates friction with President Trump; the less U.S. support exists for Ukraine. That’s the dynamic Zelenskyy is trying desperately to navigate with his EU allies.
During a lengthy interview with Reuters, Zelenskyy says he has been directly told the only way for Ukraine to get security guarantees from USA participation is if he concedes the contested Donbas region to Russia and ends the conflict.Assuming what Zelenskyy says is accurate, at this point in the ongoing stalemate, this seems like the pragmatic optimal solution. Concede Donbas to Russia, and the U.S. will mediate terms that emphasize an American willingness to protect Ukraine from further encroachment.

This is a huge win for President Trump and the American people. All those activist judges just got a good ol’ fashioned spanking by a higher court(snip).This fight was about whether ICE can keep illegals detained while deportation proceedings are underway or whether lower-court judges can keep stepping in to give them bond hearings and release them back into the country.Judges in Minnesota have been siding with the illegals,

Special Counsel Jack Smith’s targeting of Kash Patel and numerous congressional Republicans as part of his lawfare against Donald Trump was worse than originally thought, new records show.
Released Tuesday by Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Ted Cruz, R-Texas, the new documents demonstrate that Smith and his team’s efforts to acquire Patel’s phone records during his time as a private citizen were far more extensive than previously reported. The bid to acquire such information came as part of Smith’s Arctic Frost investigation, which ultimately became his elector lawfare against Trump.

CPAC 2026 is scheduled to begin March 25 through March 28 in Grapevine, Texas. Interestingly, President Trump not scheduled to speak at the event; neither is JD Vance, Marco Rubio or any other potential GOP 2028 nominee including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. (snip)The absence of Donald Trump, JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Ron DeSantis or any other major MAGA-era politician is not that surprising given the commercialized nature and evolution of the organization under the leadership of Matt and Mercedes Schlapp. The Schlapp’s are highly focused on affluence and considerably disconnected from the MAGA base.

Dems have been playing fast and loose with our elections for quite a while now. They keep testing every gimmick they can think of. Whatever they can do to make voting drag on longer, feel less secure, and leave more room for “funny business.” Of course the one thing they don’t want to do is the most obvious: voter ID.
Their schemes are always sold as some kind of better “access” or more “convenience,” but what they’re really doing is turning a civic act into a chaotic, messy process that Americans don’t trust.
