Rep. Pete Sessions, R-Texas, a co-chair of the Congressional Scouting Caucus, told The Daily Signal that he is attempting to meet in person with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to discuss the memo on the Department of War separating from Scouting America, the organization formerly known as the Boy Scouts of America. Sessions called the memo—first reported by NPR and not confirmed by the Department of War—”stunningly uninformed” about the necessity of scouting to the military. Sessions told The Daily Signal that he and his fellow members of the Congressional Scouting Caucus have sought to meet with Hegseth to “remind him and those at the War Department that the Boy Scouts of America are a value added part of providing in the past men, young boys, to join our military, in particular, Eagle Scouts at our academies to take on the top jobs of protecting this nation.” The military awards an automatic rank increase to Eagle Scouts who enlist. A 2017 post for Scouting Magazine noted that 20% of West Point cadets, 12% of the Naval Academy Class of 2016, and 10% of Air Force Academy cadets had attained the highest rank in Scouting. “On the side of men who are also Eagle Scouts, but also people in scouting, we have taught [young men] skill sets that have been very valuable to the military,” Sessions added. Scouting America, which changed its name from the Boy Scouts of America earlier this year, takes young men and young women—in separate sex-segregated troops—on hiking, camping, fishing, and adventure trips, teaching wilderness survival skills alongside civics and a hard work ethic. Yet Scouting America has faced criticism in recent years for allowing scouts who identify as transgender to join troops reserved for the opposite sex, and for requiring a “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” merit badge. These and other reasons lead the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to end its long-term relationship with the Boy Scouts and create its own scouting organization. The Scout’s ideological drift also inspired the founding of Trail Life USA and American Heritage Girls, conservative alternatives to the scouting group. The Hegseth Memo According to NPR, Hegseth’s draft memo to Congress states the military’s intention to sever all ties with Scouting America, claiming the group is no longer a meritocracy and accusing the group of being “genderless” and attacking “boy-friendly spaces.” A War Department official told The Daily Signal that “the department will not comment on leaked documents that we cannot authenticate and that may be pre-decisional.” “The Scouting movement has had a strong relationship with our nation’s military going back more than a century,” Scouting America CEO Roger Krone said in a statement responding to the news. “An enormous percentage of those in our military academies are Scouts and Eagle Scouts.” Krone denied the claim that Scouting America is “no longer a meritocracy,” noting that “badges and ranks are not given, they are earned.” He also insisted that “Scouting is and has always been a nonpartisan organization. For more than a century, we’ve worked with every U.S. presidential administration—Republican and Democrat—focusing on our common goal of building future leaders grounded in integrity, responsibility, and service.” Boy Scout Alternatives? Sessions responded to concerns about Scouting America’s apparent leftward drift by insisting that his experience of scouting on the ground does not fit that characterization. When it comes to allowing scouts to join opposite-sex troops based on a claimed gender identity, he said, “while I’m not in favor of it, I believe the laws in the states where this may be present require this, and I think we find ourselves becoming a regional organization as opposed to adopting the laws of the nation.” “I don’t think that that’s the way we think about it in most states where it’s not required,” he added. He defended having a “big tent” national approach to the issue, allowing troops in blue states to adopt leftist ideology. “Is scouting going to be a nationwide organization and be adaptive, or are we going to be a regional organization?” he asked. Sessions noted that Latter-day Saint churches “are very important to the military,” but did not comment on whether the military should consider working with alternatives to Scouting America. He mentioned sensing a “reluctance” between Scouting America and the Latter-day Saints to remaining apart. Of the memo, he repeated, “It is a mistake and will not go without a huge fight in Congress for the Department of War to continue down the path that they are on.” “The Department of war is misinformed; they have the wrong viewpoint about this issue,” Sessions said. He reiterated his desire to meet with Hegseth and the White House to discuss the issue. Neither the White House nor the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints responded to The Daily Signal’s request for comment.

This goes without saying, but there are obviously lots of fans of artificial intelligence.

How's the old saying go? "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes"? A pair of punks in the blue state of New Jersey learned this harsh lesson after they allegedly threatened a government official.

Best Times To Bother Your Husband

A big congratulations to everyone who bought Gold and Silver over the last 5 years when I would talk about it nonstop and tell you it might make a REALLY great hedge against the debasement of the US Dollar by the nonstop money-printing. So many of you purchased Silver in the low $20 range — or some even in the teens — and I know how happy you are right now when you see this today: This is a new all-time high (by a mile), the first time Silver has EVER traded above $60, and it now puts silver at 108% gains in 2025 alone: BREAKING: Silver prices officially break above $60/oz for the first time in history, now up +108% in 2025. Silver is up 6 TIMES as much as the S&P 500 YTD amid one of the strongest stock market bull runs in history. Silver and gold know what’s coming next. pic.twitter.com/0a8bTJieHL — The Kobeissi Letter (@KobeissiLetter) December 9, 2025 So, what’s driving the rally? Here’s a quick analysis: What’s Driving the Silver Rally? Silver’s price has exploded about 100% in 2025, hitting record highs near $60/oz today (up from ~$30 at the start of the year). This “massive rally” stems from a perfect storm of factors—think tight supply meeting explosive demand. Here’s the simple breakdown: Supply Squeeze Global silver production is down 12% from peaks, hitting just 820 million ounces this year. Add modest recycling gains (up only 1.2%), and we’re in a fifth straight year of deficits (95 million ounces short in 2025 alone). Stocks on exchanges like COMEX have plunged 77% since 2020. Booming Industrial Demand Silver’s key in green tech—solar panels alone gobble 55% of global supply (doubled since 2022), plus EVs, AI chips, and electronics. Photovoltaics could hit 230 million ounces needed by 2026. Investor Rush Folks are piling in for inflation hedges amid Trump-era tariffs (US imports 64% of silver, sparking stockpiling) and geopolitical chaos (e.g., Middle East/Russia-Ukraine tensions). ETFs saw 15.7 million ounces inflow in November—the biggest since 2020. Fed rate-cut bets (easing money) supercharge this. This isn’t mere excitement: This mix has narrowed the gold-silver ratio to ~73 (from 100+ early 2025), showing silver outpacing gold’s 60% gain. Realistic Price Targets Ahead From $60 now, expect more upside if deficits persist and demand grows—but volatility is silver’s nickname (“Devil’s metal”). Analysts’ consensus for 2026: Average: $55–$60/oz Peaks: Up to $65 Bullish outliers: $75–$100 if gold rallies hard and ETFs keep flowing Downside risk: Recession hitting industry or sudden supply fixes could pull it to $50 support. Price Target Table Timeframe Conservative Target Bullish Target Key Driver End-2025 (Q4) $62–$66 $70+ ETF inflows + Fed cuts Mid-2026 $52–$55 $60–$65 Solar/EV demand surge End-2026 $56–$60 (avg) $75–$100 Persistent deficits + tariffs And here’s the good news… I just had Bo Polny on my show earlier today (full article coming soon on that), but here’s a quick spoiler. Bo Polny told me $68 is the next battle for silver and once we pass that he thinks it’s very possible we go straight to $100, and likely that we see a $5, $10 and even $20 intraday moves coming! If you want to grab more Silver or Gold right now, here are the only two companies I am proud to partner with….both will treat you amazing! You can by physical coins/bars or you can buy in your IRA. Here are all the details you need: The ONLY Two Gold Companies I Proudly Partner With Gold and Silver are currently sitting at All Time Highs as I write this (and have been for weeks), so I thought it might be a good time to revisit this and make sure you had this information handy. In the midst of covering politics, we also cover money from time to time...and while I'm not a financial advisor, I share what I'm learning in the hopes that it can help you and keep you and your family safe. And that often leads me to covering Gold and Silver. You know, what they have always called "God's Money". He made it, they aren't making any more of it, and it has always been highly valued as money from the beginning of time until now. So I'm a big fan and I think it has the potential to do big things if, say, the U.S. Dollar were to suddenly collapse. So that's why I talk about it and why I want to make sure everyone protects themselves and your families. So to answer the question of "what can I do?" it's really quite simple: you need to get some #Gold or #Silver in your own possession. It's called "physical" gold and silver. Not paper traded garbage on the stock exchanges that isn't backed by anything. Don't touch that stuff. And because I get asked so much how to buy it and what the best places are, I thought I would publish this and just get it out there for all to have.... I have two special hook-ups for you and these are the ONLY two companies I am proud to partner up with on Gold and Silver. Both involve PHYSICAL gold and silver. Because if you do NOTHING else, make sure you own "physical" gold and silver, not paper contracts. The paper contracts (like stock ticker SLV and GLD) could very well go POOF one day and disappear or go to zero, because they're not actually backed by the gold and silver they claim to represent. It's a massive game of musical chairs out there and when the music stops (and I think it will stop soon...) people who only own paper might find themselves owning something not worth the paper it's literally written on. And I know you'll never forget it if I give you this GIF so....Let's Get Physical: Now...WHERE do you get physical gold and silver and how do you know it's real and safe? And that you're getting the best price? Oh, and how about personal one-on-one real customer service? You know, like you were some Big Wig millionaire at Goldman Sachs who could just call their personal banker and get help? That's what I'm about to tell you. I have two killer connections for you... 1⃣ The first is for purchasing gold and silver bullion, bars and/or coins. You may recognize Andy Schectman from Miles Franklin. He's prolific on YouTube and just a brilliant guy, I've followed him for years. I've partnered up with Andy's company, Miles Franklin, and I'm really excited to show you what they can do! In fact, Andy's going to be coming on my show, the Daily Truth Report (follow us on YouTube and Rumble) in the future, and you're going to want to make sure you don't miss those. Andy is a wealth of knowledge about the precious metals markets and crypto, and I've covered him here many times in the past. Now I'll get to chat with him myself, and I'm really looking forward to it. I'm spoken directly with Andy and his team and they have assured me they will take very good care of anyone in the WLT Report family (that's you!). At Miles Franklin, everyone gets personal attention from their team of brokers and you'll get whatever level of hand-holding you prefer.  They'll also customize a deal just for you, but you have to call them and tell them NOAH sent you!  They'll handle it from there.  1-952-929-7006 There is no minimum order size and no maximum limit. I think you'll love working with them, I already do! You can reach them at 1-952-929-7006 and make sure you let them know that Noah sent you over, they've promised me the best of the best service and pricing for everyone in the WLT Report family.  ? (You can visit their website too, but best pricing is by phone) That's the cheapest and most economical way to do it, to stretch your dollar into as much gold and silver as possible. You'll get a personal phone call with one of their top brokers, personalized, white glove concierge service at no extra cost to you....whether you're buying $500 or $50,000, they'll treat you the same. How about that! No sales pitch, just real, actual help. And the best prices you will find. Ok, that was #1. Now I want to tell you about option #2. 2⃣ An equally great company, I am so happy to be working with these guys is Genesis Gold. This is for people who want to purchase real physical gold or silver in their IRAs (Investment Retirement Accounts). You know what the beauty of that is? Two huge benefits actually... First is TAX FREE baby! I'm not a tax advisor, but that's a general oversimplification. Never pay more taxes than you are legally required to pay. And that's why I love getting gold and silver in my IRA (and why I hold a large chunk in an IRA myself!). Second is if you simply shift money out of stocks (like Peter Schiff recommends) and into Gold, it won't cost you anything!  No money out of pocket!   BOOM! There's so much to love about Genesis Gold, starting with the fact they are proudly and un-ashamedly Christina! They call it "Faith-Driven Stewardship" and they put it right on the homepage of their website along with a quote from Ezekiel: Wealth Preservation With Gold & Silver – The Genesis Gold IRA By your wisdom and your understanding you have made wealth for yourself, and have gathered Gold and Silver into your treasuries – EZEKIEL 28:4 Genesis Gold Group believes the Bible gives clues on how man-made currencies (paper money) represent instability, and a lack of virtue and encourages living wastefully in excess. Conflicts have beleaguered us since the dawn of civilization, and they can all be encapsulated into one battle. The battle is between currency, man-made paper, and gold and silver — the two precious metals found in our Earth’s crust, sent to us by our Lord to use as money. Man-made currency always leads nations down the path to increased war, greed, and ultimate collapse. History has shown that abandoning gold and silver has always been a bad idea. Gold and Silver enforce discipline, nurture self-constraint, self-reliance, and balance, and lead to confidence, a restrained government, and a more stable foreign policy. Genesis Gold Group believes in empowering faith-driven stewardship with Gold & Silver are an integral part of a balanced portfolio. Protecting your finances with precious metals has never been more crucial during these trying times. With a combined 50-plus years in the precious metals industry, let your Genesis gold and silver experts guide you through the simplicity of asset protection and growth with our Genesis Gold IRA. Sincerely, Genesis Gold Group Empowering Faith-Driven Stewardship Oh....and they're VERY good at what they do. You also get physical gold and silver with Genesis, believe it or not!  The gold and silver is purchased for you (in whatever combination of coins and bars you prefer, a picture taken and sent to you, and then stored safely in a vault for you! I love what these guys are doing. Here's more on why gold and silver in your IRA are so powerful: You can contact Genesis Gold here. They are also very backed up with record demand, so you may have to wait a bit, but someone WILL get in touch with you for personal customer service and assistance! Tell 'em Noah sent ya! Oh, and did you know Genesis is recommended by SUPERMAN himself? It's true. Superman himself, Clark Kent -- Dean Cain -- came on my show a few weeks ago and we broke it all down: Watch here: Stay safe! Make sure you can weather the storm when it hits! Because the storm always hits eventually, doesn't it? As for me and my house, we will be ready. ? RELATED REPORT: Sad Update: Here’s What Happened With Ira Bershatsky and “Advisor Metals”

Erika Kirk was on Fox & Friends today, and a couple things jumped out at me that I want to share with you. I’m not here to hate on Erika…. I really hope my gut feeling about the way she comes off to me (which is not great) is wrong and I hope she’s just the most wonderful woman and best wife and mother ever. But all the “fakery” is just becoming hard to ignore, at least for me. The fake tears and the constant tissue to the eyes (which are not wet)…. The constant media attention (who is home with those two kids?)…. Now she’s on a book tour, selling Charlie’s last book (which is fine)…. But there was one line in this Fox & Friends interview that really jumped out at me as being HIGHLY unlikely.  Again, I could be wrong, but check out this interview where she talks about how it hits her hard when she’s in a Grocery store and sees Charlie’s hot sauce: ERIKA KIRK: “What hits me hard is when I’m in the grocery store. And I see his hot sauce, I want to buy it. His clothes everywhere.” “It’s the visual of daddy coming home. To the world, he was Charlie Kirk. To us, he was the love of my life and my children’s dad.” “It’s… pic.twitter.com/zIEi1Qkznq — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) December 9, 2025 I could be wrong and this is PURE speculation from my part, but I would bet that woman has not been in a grocery store in years, maybe decades, maybe never! A woman constantly dolled up and dressed to the nines with hair, makeup and nails looking like they all probably took hours just to get her out the door in the morning is NOT slumming around at Albertsons shopping for groceries. I would bet just about anything that she has a staff that not only gets the groceries for her but probably cooks them as well. The same staff that I can only presume is watching those two small children each time she flies to New York to do another Fox News segment. In other words, I’m getting strong Lucille Bluth vibes here: I’m sorry folks, I could be wrong but my gut isn’t too often off on these things, and any woman who is CONSTANTLY dressed up like a Disney Princess and manicured from head to toe, is not someone you’re going to find purchasing Cheerios and Milk at the Grocery Store: What do you think? Am I being too harsh? I’m sure you will all let me know down in the Comments. Now here’s the other thing that jumped out at me. Charlie was unabashedly and very publicly CHRISTIAN, but since his death it seems like those closest to him are working overtime to make him Catholic and/or Jewish. In this same clip, Erika Kirk works in the Jewish “Shabbat Shalom” as if Charlie was Jewish.  He wasn’t. And now people are using Grok to comb over 3 years of Twitter/X posts and replies and asking if Charlie ever used the word “Shabbat” and it found none in 3+ years: After reviewing charliekirk11’s posts from the past 3 years, I found 0 instances where he used the term “Shabbat.” He has replied during potential Sabbath/Shabbat hours (Fri eve-Sat eve or Sun). Examples: – ID 1964329144634024010 (Sat, 7:05 AM MST) – ID 1964497618362650826… — Grok (@grok) December 9, 2025 To be fair, the concept of a Sabbath (or Shabbat) is not uniquely Jewish. It of course comes from the Ten Commandments in the Old Testament and that is something shared by Jews and Christians. And Charlie was indeed very public and vocal about how he tried to keep the Sabbath and how much it blessed him, but note one important thing: he always called it the Sabbath, never the “Shabbat”. So why are those close to him now trying to make him out to be a Jew? You do have to admit that is weird. Your thoughts?
