In Economics & Investing Media of the Week we feature photos, charts, graphs, maps, video links, and news items of interest to preppers. On Monday (January 26, 2026), spot silver touched $116.59 per Troy ounce in Comex trading. That brought the silver-to-gold price ratio down to 43.3-to-1. (It was 102-to-1 in late May of 2025.)  I expect the ratio to drop perhaps to as low as 28-to-1, in 2026.

“The fundamental source of all your errors, sophisms, and false reasoning, is a total ignorance of the natural rights of mankind. Were you once to become acquainted with these, you could never entertain a thought, that all men are not, by nature, entitled to a parity of privileges. You would be convinced, that natural liberty is a gift of the beneficent Creator, to the whole human race; and that civil liberty is founded in that; and cannot be wrested from any people, without the most manifest violation of justice.” – Alexander Hamilton, “The Farmer Refuted,” 1775

 You can watch BBC News coverage at Mediaite where they explain this video from a few days earlier shows Pretti attacking ICE vehicles and generally acting confrontational, leading to him being shoved to the ground by ICE.  He has a gun on him. If they had arrested him for his crimes a few days earlier, he might well be alive today.

1/22/26 CNN now reports that Pretti's family confirms that is Pretti in the video.

And more importantly, which should you not trust? 

This post is the fourth in a series on how to make your home network harder to attack.  Here are links to posts one, two, and three.  

Now you might think the question in the post title is a bit strange - after all, these are you devices, so you'd think that they're all trustworthy.  You'd be wrong.  There are at a minimum two different categories of trustworthiness:

Your main computing devices.  These are computers (duh) such as laptops and desktop computers, servers (a future post will talk about why these can be useful to you, and your cell phones (which are nothing but tiny hand held computers).

Now I've been in security for long enough that I get a bit twitchy about mobile phone security (I'll address this in a future post as well).  However, that ship has sailed and even a security nerd like me won't bother making a separate network just for these.  So they're computing devices for this discussion.

Then there's everything else.  It's surprising how any Internet-connected thingies there are these days.  Ring doorbells, Nest thermostats, online appliances (fridges, washing machines, etc).  At this point the Borepatch from four years ago would have told you to just walk away from all this nonsense.  Don't Internet-enable anything in this category.

Today's Borepatch sighs and tells you that this is coming to a home near yours.  It's here in my home.  No, not the thermostat (which was installed by the previous owner and which I have not connected to the WiFi).  However, the TVs all come with streaming apps for Netflix, Prime, and Youtube (among dozens of others).  And The Queen Of The World reminds me that the kids like to stream when they come and visit.  She likes it when they come and visit, as do I.  And so we have to do something for these devices.

Fortunately, you don't need any new kit to do this.  If you remember from the last post on water tight compartments, you don't own the Internet box from your network provider.  Basically, you can't trust it, so you install a new firewall box running DD-WRT.  It's trustworthy because you own it and have your own software and configuration on it.

All of your main computing devices connect to it's WiFi.  All of the other devices (doorbells, thermostats, TVs, appliances) connect to the WiFi from your network provider's box.

What you've done is to put a firewall between your computing devices and your untrusted devices.  It doesn't matter if your TV gets hacked because it can't get through your DD-WRT firewall to your computers.

Likewise, your TV is at least somewhat protected from the outside world because it's behind the firewall in your network provider's box. 

Braden Langly of Langley Outdoors Academy has posted a compelling analysis of what appears to be a combination of an unintentional discharge of Alex Pretti's Sig P320,  combined with the predictable response, which lead to his shooting and death in Minneapolis on January 24, 2026. Langly does his analysis on YouTube. There does not appear to be a transcript.

To sum up the action as shown in numerous videos. Alex Pretti is involved in obstructing ICE officers from making an arrest, along with numerous other individuals. Pretti is in the street, and is actively aiding others in obstructing ICE. There are a couple of women working with Alex. ICE agents tell them to leave/get out of the way. Pretti does not do so. An ICE agent sprays him with pepper spray, and about 3-5 ICE agents attempt to place him in custody. Pretti stuggles, resisting arrest. 3-5 ICE agents are involved, taking Pretti to the ground, and attempting to gain control over Pretti.  One of the agents, wearing a grey jacket and grey headgear, reaches into the scrum of struggling men, takes a pistol off of Pretti, which appears to have been in the small of Pretti's  back. It is not clear if there is a holster. At this point, someone yells: Gun!Gun!Gun!, which is what agents are trained to do when a weapon is found during a struggle.

At the Gun!Gun!Gun! warning, at least one of the agents draws his handgun. The  agent in grey starts to step away from the scrum, removing the pistol from the scene, a prudent move. He barely takes a step before a shot is fired. At least two of the agents recoil in response. Then several more shots are fired, which result in Pretti's death.

What Langly has found and shows, is it appears the first shot was from Pretti's Sig P320 as it was being removed from the scene. 

In the detailed analysis by Langly, it is clear the slide on the Sig P320 moves back and forth as the agent in grey holds it down toward the ground, by his side, as he steps away. His hand appears to move, as if from recoil.  There is some evidence of a bullet hitting the ground.

There should be evidence of an impact of a bullet at the crime scene, in the suspected location.This sort of situation has happened before in law enforcement. There is a struggle. A gun is found. A shot goes off. Officers, keyed to the edge in a highly dangerous situation, fire in response.  Langley calls it "Contagious" gunfire. The officers were primed to a deadly threat. They are on the edge of responding with deadly force. Then the gunshot rings out. It is very close. People may even feel splatter or fragments from the bullet hit their feet or legs.

There will be much more investigation. The agent in grey will be questioned. He probably has already written an after action statement. The truth will come out.

It is to be hoped the crime scene is preserved. This is not easy to do when the local police will not assist, the governor and the mayor are telling the proto-insurgents to resist, and the incident occurs in an area where the proto-insurgents are attempting to exert control.

In some cases, confederates of offenders have removed evidence from the scene. Several cartridge cases should be at the scene to be analyzed in a crime laboratory. The local police have been forbidden to assist, so it will have to be at a federal lab.

There are also peculiar things which can happen, and have happened at other crime scenes. A cartridge case may become embedded in a boot tread or vehicle tread, if the crime scene is not very carefully controlled.

A tragedy composed of a series of unfortunate events, triggered by illegal interference with ICE agents, appears to be the most likely explanation of what resulted in Alex Pretti's death.

“The idea that The State is capable of solving social problems is now viewed with great skepticism—which foretells a coming change. As soon as skepticism is applied to the State, the State falls, since it fails at everything except increasing its power, and so can only survive on propaganda, which relies on unquestioning faith.” – Stefan Molyneux, from “The Stateless Society: An Examination of Alternatives,” The Ludwig Von Mises institute of Canada, January 6, 2011.

 Whenever I upgrade a hard disk, I pop the old one into an external case for use as a USB drive.  This is really a nice use for drives that might otherwise need something more thorough than FORMAT.  I am looking at a drive that is one of the early such transplants.  The USB cable has two USB-A connectors on the far end from the drive enclosure. When I plug this into a USB port, it is invisible to Windows DISKMGMT.MSC program.  Any suggestions to figuring out if this drive is just finished?

I grew up in a very small town near the Washington coast (in reality, we could be in Oregon in a few minutes by just driving across a bridge). Snow in the lower elevations was unusual; if there was any at all, school would be canceled.  I don't remember any days below 30, but we would have been out anyway. Snow was not cold; it was not working or worrying. It was a divine benediction that spread itself out onto the world where we waited with glee. Grabbing an inner tube to ride down the cleared foothills, shoving a couple of cookies in our pockets, we would head out into the dazzling white, heeding the siren call.

Then, I'd launch myself with abandon out into it, flinging my form down onto an inner tube that was traveling downhill much faster than my dad would ever approve. There was nothing but movement and emotion, snow in the amber fire of my hair, my cheeks flushed, body arching up into the air, trying to maintain the moment that I knew would come crashing down much too quickly. At the bottom of the hill, chest heaving, I'd simply look up into the sky and say thank you, for that moment, as time gathered itself back up and started ticking again.

Face flushed with anticipation, I'd pat my pocket to make sure my cookie was secure, and I'd trudge back up the slope again to join my brother at the top.  As I peered down into the void, I'd say, "I probably shouldn't do this." Then we'd launch ourselves off yet again into space, remorseless and laughing, flying down the slope, potent, strong, as free as an eagle, not knowing yet as a child, that even for the eagle, all space can still be a cage.

Then we'd come inside for hot cocoa and maybe a little TV. My brother loved The Rifleman; I loved The Adventures of Superman, which was in syndication at the time. Mom even got me a Superman costume for Halloween once, and I was so disappointed when I saw the little warning tag that said "Warning - Cape Does Not Enable User to Fly. I loved the show, but the junior scientist in me probably wasn't the first nerd to notice that Superman's home planet was Krypton, and the fictionalized mineral from that place, kryptonite, was his undoing in many an episode, as it rendered him weak.  I knew Krypton was an inert mineral. Inert bodies do no harm, seek no revenge, provoke no hostilities. They shouldn't be of any concern. Yet sometimes those inert things, those small things, are the ones that hurt you the most. For lurking out there for Superman, Kryptonite was just waiting, biding its time (or another episode) until it would weaken the hero. 

Once adulthood hit, snow days were simply known as "work days". My flying had me based in Los Angeles on the West Coast for the most part. I do NOT miss flying out of LAX. The layout of the airport was so large and discombobulated the first time I landed there; my copilot told the tower we were "student pilots and needed progressive taxi instructions to the United Gate". He laughed and got us there, but it was never my favorite airport. But just being able to sit outside by the pool on a layover when it was snowing somewhere in the Plains was magic.

But it was no surprise that people actually get on airplanes to go places OTHER than LAX, so it wasn't a surprise that I spent too many nights flying into airports in Montana, Idaho, Colorado, and Nevada when it was brutally cold and snowy. You'd start out thinking "oh this won't be so bad", then the sky would go from clear to a menacing outburst of fury, as if all the air had turned on you in confrontation, the tenuous earth only a memory beneath you.  Superman managed this with just a cape - we had computers and radar and jet fuel, and the weather was kicking us to the curb. In what seemed like just minutes, the wind would pick up further, the ice would start hitting our windshield as the copilot hurriedly told the flight attendants to be seated, and we'd look at each other with that "I could have been a mild-mannered reporter" look as Mother Nature whacked our backside with a stick.

But soon, we'd be on the ground, using differential power to SLIDE into the gate as thundersnow growled in the distance, the ramp a growing ice rink, while, once stopped, the passengers lined up like cattle trying to get inside to the barn where it was warm. But we got out and made sure our aircraft was safely in for the night, knowing we'd be back in 8 hours (yes, back in the day, your time spent traveling to and from the hotel to sleep was part of your legal "rest"). The airplane wasn't any warmer in the morning, but that was our job.

So, winters in the Midwest were not the surprise for me that many thought they would be. When I bought my first home here, my family said, "Oh, she'll move back out here in a year". But 30 years later, I'm still here, waiting for yet another major winter weather system coming down from the north with a lofty and mighty sigh. Like death and taxes, you are not exempt. Winter will arrive, not with a whimper, but a howl. It’s usually preceded by a trumpet of doom from the news channels, which are often wrong. I usually just check the radar on my computer to see what the weather is actually like out there. At least that way I could see the severe weather coming while Accu-Hunch was predicting another six inches of sunshine, while on sunny days, they’re predicting doom and gloom.

I squeezed the salt out of my eyes as the light disappeared. For just a moment, there was no snow, no wind at all, just a single star that sparked from the break in the clouds, like a single spark expelled from a soul's fire. A lull had come, the holding of a stormy breath, and I knew I had better get in the house now, the door now only a beggar’s prayer against the incoming cold and wind.

The warmth is but a memory, as are most treasured things, but I no longer resent or reproach it for its passing, for I hold in myself the imprint of something so rare and precious, that of the experience. For all that I have lost, I have memories of so many adventures, and God willing, more to be made.  

Back inside, I shook the snow off my boots onto the entryway rug, the warmth wrapped around me even as the wind outside began to howl. I heard a sound outside the window as the neighbors two doors down let their dog out before the worst of the storm. I heard the bark of their dog as it was released, then the shouts as it was called back in from the yard, tattered shreds and remnants of voices snatched past the ear, followed by silence. 

As you can see, I’m back. Still not 100%, so please don’t load me up with news tips. I have more article work that takes precedence, and I’m not going to overtax myself.

 We successfully dodged the bullet of the ice storm.  Awoke this morning to clear skies and cold temps.  Belle said that she wanted some kind of soup or stew for lunch, and I started diffing in the freezer.  I found two partial packs of good Gulf shrimp that we could cook, so I chopped some onions and bell peppers and decided to make a shrimp gumbo.

Seafood gumbo is not my forte.  I am much more comfortable with a chicken/sausage gumbo, but I gave it a shot anyway. Toward the latter part of the process, I knew it needed something, but my palate would not give me the clue.  I had Belle taste it and we decided that a bit of red pepper flakes would help it.

The New Hampshire legislature is considering a Campus Carry bill, HB1793, to restore rights protected by the Second Amendment to public colleges and universities in New Hampshire. The bill has been introduced by Rep. Sam Farrington, R-Strafford. Here is the heart of the bill.  From legiscan.com:

I.  Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, no public institution of higher education shall enact rules, policies, or similar prohibitions restricting the possession, carry, storage, or lawful use of firearms or non-lethal weapons on campus.

II.  No state or institutional permit or license shall be required for such carry on campus.

159:30  Remedies.  Any individual aggrieved by a violation of this subdivision may bring an action against the public institution of higher education and its employees responsible for the violation and seek appropriate relief, including injunctive relief, monetary damages, reasonable attorneys' fees, and court costs.  Total damages awarded in an action brought under this subdivision shall be at least $10,000.  

159:31  Severability.  If any provision of this subdivision or the application thereof to any person or circumstances is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of the subdivision which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end the provisions of this subdivision are declared to be severable.  

4  Effective Date.  This act shall take effect January 1, 2027.

There are ten sponsors of the bill in the New Hampshire House, and four sponsors in the Senate.  Republicans have a supermajority in the Senate, with 16 Republicans and 8 Democrats. In the House the numbers are closer, with 221 Republicans and 177 Democrats. In the Dartmouth, David Meuse, D-Rockingham, stated he believed the bill has a good chance of passage.

 Meuse said that he believes that the Protecting College Students Act has a “pretty good chance” of passing due to the Republican control of the legislature and the governorship in New Hampshire. He noted that gun rights was a “Republican pet cause” and that pro-gun groups in the state usually send a “raft of emails” to legislators whenever gun legislation is coming up.

The sponsor of HB1793, Representative Farrington, is a senior at the University of New Hampshire. He has skin in the game. New Hampshire has been a Constitutional Carry (permitless carry) state since 2017. Most college students in New Hampshire can legally carry openly or concealed in most places in New Hampshire. There are very few problems, if any. It is difficult to see how the rights of the students, and anyone else who travels onto public colleges or universities, may be legally restricted on campus facilities. The power of universities to act as parents ended with the passage of the 26th Amendment in 1971, when 18-year-old citizens were given the power to vote by the amendment.

As recent scholarship has found, 18 year old people had the right to keep and bear arms in the early republic and at the time of the ratification of the Bill of Rights. Some early private colleges banned the possession of arms as a regulation of their students, not as a governmental entity.  Their regulations did not apply to educators, administration, or people who were not students of the colleges and universities. United States Courts have long recognized deprivation of rights is a a serious harm.

New Hampshire, as with most states, has kept the regulation of weapons and weapon carry strictly to its own power. This has been done to prevent local political entities, such as public colleges, from depriving people of rights protected by the Second Amendment and the State Constitution. This bill makes clear: public colleges and universities which receive state money are not allowed to deprive people of their right to arms.

New Hampshire has one of the lowest murder rates of the states in the United States.

The incident occurred at about 2:40 a.m. in the 5200-block of West Montana Street.

Police said a 39-year-old man was getting out of his car when two male suspects approached on foot. One of the suspects took out a gun and demanded the victim's belongings, police said.

The victim, who is a licensed concealed-carry holder, took out his own gun and shot one of the suspects, police said.

However, it has thus far not been possible to determine when this activity took place3,4,5. Here we provide evidence that the Vikings were present in Newfoundland in ad 1021. We overcome the imprecision of previous age estimates by making use of the cosmic-ray-induced upsurge in atmospheric radiocarbon concentrations in ad 993 (ref. 6). Our new date lays down a marker for European cognisance of the Americas, and represents the first known point at which humans encircled the globe. It also provides a definitive tie point for future research into the initial consequences of transatlantic activity, such as the transference of knowledge, and the potential exchange of genetic information, biota and pathologies7,8.

Jackson County woman arrested for recruiting people on social media to assassinate Trump.

Apparently a librarian. This surprises me not at all.  Librarians have been at the forefront of sexually explicit books on the shelves for children.  

 1/27/26 Washington Examiner:

EXCLUSIVE — The Department of Homeland Security told the Washington Examiner it was investigating a woman from Kenmore, New York, who allegedly sought to kill Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.

Think about this for a second. You go into a gun store, which even in New York is a reliable blue enclave. Even if the gun store owner does not care about your goals, he is going to assume that this is some sort of ATF sting operation. So you claim you want a gun to commit a federal felony? 

Meet Melinda, a healthcare worker at @VCUHealth. She posted a series of videos encouraging people to inject ICE agents with succinylocholine, a temporary paralysis drug, and spray poison on them. She also encourages woman to go on dates with agents and drug their food.

I am not surprised an unhinged leftist would think such things.  But her willingness to record herself saying these dark fantasies (giving her the benefit of the doubt) and in a way that made her, and thus her employer, identifiable is just bizarre.

I will not call this Toxic Femininity.  Toxic Masculinity is a dangerously exaggerated set of traits that are at least stereotypically masculine.  These dark thoughts do not exaggerate caring for others to the point of regarding convicted child rapists as victims in need of protection from a cruel and uncaring system.  That might qualify as Toxic Femininity.  This is just brainwashing to the point of real evil.

It just occurred to me as I was vacuuming: if a peace officer (or anyone else) saw someone brandishing a syringe in a hostile setting, assuming poison would be reasonable. Deadly force is now justified.

I’m just not ready to return.

In a Saturday thread on Slack discussing Pretti’s killing, Palantir workers questioned both the ethics and the business logic of continuing the company’s work with ICE.

“I mean, I’m proud to serve the White Hand,” said Ugluk the Uruk Hai, “The pay’s good and we get double rations of hafling tenderloin on Fridays, but nobody said anything about doing contract work for Sauron.”
