Precious metals are seeing gains once again following the post-election dip, just as many economists had expected. Even China, which had been holding back for five months, returned to purchasing massive quantities of gold. “Falling U.S. interest rates and ongoing solid demand from central banks are supporting the gold price,” USB Analyst Giovanni Staunovo said. “(It) Was definitely good to see again purchases by the Chinese central bank last month, but other central banks have been also buying large quantities.” USB is not alone in their bullish shift on precious metals. Their Chinese counterparts echoed the sentiment to justify recent purchases. “The decision to increase gold holdings, particularly following Trump’s recent election victory, reflects the PBOC’s proactive approach to safeguarding economic stability amid evolving global conditions,” OCBC analysts said in a note. All of this was expected by Jonathan Rose, CEO of Genesis Gold Group, who had prepared his company before the election for the results that he was hoping would happen. “While other gold companies were cheering for Democrats to win so they could continue to sell on fear, we positioned our clients to be ready for a Trump victory,” he said. “It’s paying off now and will pay off even more once he’s in office; expect major gains in gold and silver very soon.” Genesis Gold Group is a faith-driven precious metals firm that specializes in rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into Genesis Gold IRAs backed by physical precious metals. “With interest rate cuts coming and a return to sound fiscal principles, we expect the economy to perform much like it did during President Trump’s first term when gold prices rose 51%,” he continued. The ongoing “bubble” caused by geopolitical turmoil and a stock market that has been propped up by inflation have prompted many Americans to consider safeguarding their retirement with physical gold and silver.

I do not approve of violence or riots. However, J6 has been grossly exaggerated for political expediency. In New York and Seattle, officials actually paid off rioters with millions of dollars. Lafayette Square rioters were rewarded. J6ers who paraded are being made into criminals, often felons. As reported recently, our president-less administration is deliberately rushing […] The post DOJ Is Rushing J6 Trespassers Through Conviction & Sentencing appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel joined the conversation following the arrest of Luigi Mangione, the man accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, sharing text exchanges from show staffers who made light of the assassination. Kimmel used his monologue on Tuesday night to share screenshots of text exchanges between people who work on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and their family members and friends. “We definitely know who wins Time‘s ‘Sexiest Alleged Murderer of the Year,’ that would go to Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the shooting of the CEO of UnitedHealthcare,” Kimmel began. He added that Mangione has “become the hottest cold-blooded killer in America” as social media users circulated photos of him online. “I’m not sure what this says about us, but ever since these photos of him came out from his holding cell, from his mug shot … someone found his abs somewhere online,” the 57-year-old comedian continued. “Ryan Murphy right now is flying to Netflix headquarters in a jetpack.” CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE “So many women and so many men are going nuts over how good-looking this killer is,” Kimmel said. “There’s a huge wave of horny washing over us right now. It’s like when one of the guys you work with says, ‘I had a dream about you last night.’ When it’s the FedEx guy with the big muscles and the rolled-up sleeves, you’re like, ‘Ohh.’ But if it’s the bald IT guy wearing Crocs with black socks, you’re on the phone with HR.” Kimmel went on to introduce staffers’ text exchanges about Mangione, keeping the conversations anonymous “to protect the guilty.” In one text thread, a staffer wrote, “People are saying a NY jury has the power to find him innocent, bc we all love him,” to which someone replied, “I’m not mad at him.” “Please tell me you’re as obsessed as I am with this handsome CEO killer,” another text about the accused murderer said. “Yes! So many questions,” the response said. “Like, ‘Can I fix you?’” the original texter wrote back.  One staffer said she was “texting all my friends in NY that I hope they get called for jury duty,” and posted a reply saying, “God I want to do jury duty so bad.” Another staffer said she hoped to “bake him cookies” in prison, while another said she was “about to be a jailhouse bride.” “At least it’s stirring up a passion for civic duty, I guess,” Kimmel joked, discussing how people are making merch and having lookalike contests. “It’s bananas. But I have to say, it does feel kind of good; we’re moving away from nonstop election coverage and back to drooling over a cold-blooded murderer’s eyebrows and abs. I think that might be progress, maybe not, I don’t know.” RELATED: ‘SNL’ Slammed For Making Jokes About Murder Of UnitedHealthcare CEO

Colleges and universities that did not work to stop campus anti-Semitism will face consequences under the Trump administration and Republican-dominated Senate, Senator Joni Ernst told The Daily Wire.  “The new Senate Republican majority is going to work with the Trump administration to enforce the law in the face of campuses that have fanned the flames of hate through inaction,” the Iowa Republican told The Daily Wire. “Elite universities have made their bed, and they’ve got to lie in it, but not on the taxpayers’ dime.” Anti-Semitic incidents have increased by over 500% since Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israeli civilians. Ernst is one of several senators who have raised the alarm about the harm anti-Semitism has had on Jewish students. She says the Biden administration has repeatedly ignored her. “The Biden administration ignored my repeated calls for action and sat on its hands as anti-Semitic violence exploded on college campuses across the country,” said Ernst.  In contrast, President-elect Donald Trump has threatened both public and private universities with repercussions for enabling hatred and promoting a diversity, equity, and inclusion agenda.  “My first week back in the Oval Office, my administration will inform every college president that if you do not end anti-Semitic propaganda, they will lose their accreditation and federal taxpayer support,” Donald Trump said in a September speech. He added that Jewish Americans must have “equal protection” and that the United States government will not “subsidize the creation of terrorist sympathizers, and we’re not going to do it, certainly [not] on American soil.” “My first week back in the Oval Office, my administration will inform every college president that, if you do not end antisemitic propaganda, they will lose their accreditation and federal taxpayer support.” Donald Trump couldn’t be clearer “We will not subsidize the creation… pic.twitter.com/kRZXnDqQJ5 — Aviva Klompas (@AvivaKlompas) November 15, 2024 In May 2023, Trump outlined his plan to reform the college accreditation system, aiming to hold accreditors accountable in order to “reclaim our once great educational institutions from the radical Left.” “The accreditors are supposed to ensure that schools are not ripping off students and taxpayers but they have failed totally,” he said. “When I return to the White House I will fire the radical left accreditors who have allowed our colleges to become dominated by Marxist maniacs and lunatics.” He said he would direct the Department of Justice to pursue federal civil rights cases against schools engaging in radical discrimination, and will fine schools up to the amount of their entire endowment if they continue such policies. “And schools that persist in explicit unlawful discrimination under the guise of equity will not only have their endowment taxed, but through budget reconciliation, I will advance a measure to have them fined up to the entire amount of their endowment,” Trump said. The risk of repercussions is not just for public schools, as private schools often receive large amounts of government funding. Harvard University, which received $676 million in federal research funding in 2023 alone, is currently the subject of a bipartisan congressional investigation into campus anti-Semitism. Harvard is ranked fifth in federal funding among elite private schools, according to the Boston Globe, receiving $3.27 billion between 2018-2022. Stanford received the most at $7 billion, and Columbia University came in at second with $5.9 billion. Columbia University stands to lose up to $3.5 billion a year — up to 55 percent of its university’s operating budget — if such policies are enacted, The Free Press reported. Law professor Mark Goldfeder, who testified before Congress on campus anti-Semitism, said Trump’s plan has the ability to transform higher education for the better. “The President’s plan to reform higher education by taxing private university endowments that have been flooded with money from authoritarian middle eastern regimes, and using that cash flow to create a new nonpolitical American Academy that offers a world class education free of charge, is classic Trump,” Goldfeder said. Goldfeder pointed out that many of America’s top universities take money from or have associations with authoritarian regimes such as Qatar. Between 2001 and 2021, Qatar was one of the biggest donors to American universities, giving $4.7 billion, according to a 2022 study. Georgetown University alone received $870 million from Qatar since 2005. The Daily Wire previously reported on Georgetown hosting terrorist-linked speakers at a conference in September. “Trump is going to build a new ivory tower, and he is going to make Qatar pay for it,” Goldfeder added. The Daily Wire has also reported on Harvard partnering with Birzeit University, located near Ramallah in Judea and Samaria (also known as the West Bank), which could also spell trouble for the Ivy League. Birzeit is home to an overwhelmingly Hamas-affiliated student government and its chairwoman has denied Hamas’ brutality and rape on October 7. Birzeit University’s official account also called for “glory to the martyrs” days after the attack.  “Birzeit University has a well-documented history of discriminating against Jews and Israeli students, while welcoming suspected terrorists and Hamas supporters with open arms,” said Ernst. “Harvard University’s relationship with such an institution speaks to its shameful embrace of anti-Semitism. The American people deserve to know if Harvard has sent even a penny of the tax dollars it receives to this school that fuels hate and violence.”

Fingerprints collected by detectives at the scene of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s assassination match the fingerprints taken of suspected killer Luigi Mangione, two law enforcement officials told CNN on Wednesday. The fingerprint match is the first forensic evidence reported that directly ties Mangione to the crime scene in Midtown Manhattan, CNN reported. Mangione was arrested on Monday in Altoona, Pennsylvania, after he was spotted by a person at McDonald’s who recognized him from photos circulated by the NYPD. When he was questioned by local police, Mangione allegedly showed them a fake New Jersey ID that matched the fake ID presented by a person of interest at a Manhattan hostel last month. Mangione was charged with firearm and forgery crimes in Pennsylvania and then slapped with a second-degree murder charge, along with more firearm charges, in New York. On Tuesday, his lawyer, Thomas Dickey, told a judge that Mangione is fighting his extradition to New York, starting a process that could last weeks as the suspect is entitled to an evidentiary hearing. Dickey requested the judge set bail, but the judge refused, and Mangione will be held behind bars in Pennsylvania during his extradition process. Mangione will plead not guilty to his charges in Pennsylvania, Dickey told reporters on Tuesday. The defense lawyer said he expects Mangione to plead not guilty to charges in New York and added that he would potentially represent the suspect there. “I haven’t seen any evidence that they have the right guy,” Dickey said Tuesday evening during an appearance on CNN. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE Altoona police reportedly found that Mangione was in possession of a homemade firearm and suppressor. Both the gun and the suppressor were 3D printed, according to authorities. Surveillance video of the assassination appeared to show the killer using a handgun with a suppressor. Mangione was also in possession of a 262-page manifesto that raged against health insurance companies and specifically called out “United.” Mangione allegedly wrote in the manifesto, “To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn’t working with anyone.” New York reserves the first-degree murder charge for killing for hire, killing a person in law enforcement, killing a witness, killing while serving a long sentence, and killing with torture, according to The New York Times. First- and second-degree murder convictions in New York can result in life in prison, but the minimum sentence differs from 15 years under second-degree murder to 20 years under first-degree murder. Mangione had to be restrained by sheriff’s deputies as he yelled at reporters as he was escorted to his extradition hearing on Tuesday. Some outlets reported that the suspect shouted, “It’s completely out of touch and an insult to the intelligence of the American people. It’s lived experience.” Other outlets reported that he yelled, “It’s completely an injustice …”
