Spot silver jumped 10.35% to $79.59 per troy ounce in just one day, on Friday, December 26, 2025. On that day, there were new all-time highs set for silver, platinum, and gold. Spot silver has gained a phenomenal 166% in value in 2025. And now, amazingly, a $1,000 face value bag of pre-1965 non-numismatic “junk” 90% U.S. silver coins now sells for $56,840. Though prices vary, that effectively means that the melt value of one U.S. pre-1965 silver dime (10-cent piece) is now $5.68. And today?

As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood, Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;
Let pry through the portage of the head Like the brass cannon;
let the brow o'erwhelm it.
As fearfully as doth a galled rock

According to the Barnesville Police Department (BPD), officers were sent to the home on Kate Ct. at around 1:50 a.m. Thursday, when they spoke with a woman who said 35-year-old Gregory Young, her ex-boyfriend and children's father, kicked in the door of her home.
She told police an argument began, leading to a shooting between Young and another man inside the home. BPD said the 31-year-old man was shot in the abdomen, and Young fled the scene.
Police now have warrants out for Young's arrest for two counts of aggravated assault, reckless conduct, 2nd degree home invasion, and possession of a firearm in the commission of a crime. BPD said he has not been apprehended and is last known to be traveling north in a 2006 Chevrolet 3500 Pickup truck with a North Carolina license plate tag.

(Continued from Part 4. This concludes the article.) Truckers. Contrary to popular belief, the depiction in the movies of truck drivers being a prime source of hitchhiking rides, just isn’t true. Maybe I’ve been doing something wrong all these years but in all my hitchhiking miles I’ve only been picked up by a trucker once. He explained that between company policies and insurance regulations, they’re not allowed to pick up hitchhikers. So, even though it won’t hurt to try, don’t expect to get many rides from truckers. Comedy. Humor can also help get a ride sometimes. On a cold day …

Embattled Rep. Ilhan Omar’s husband’s venture capital firm quietly scrubbed key officer details — including former Obama officials — as scrutiny grows over the family’s skyrocketing wealth, The Post has learned.
Omar (D-MN) went from nearly broke to being worth up to $30 million in just a year — as a massive, up to $9 billion fraud scheme involving the Somali community in her district unfolded right under her nose in Minnesota.
Close to 90 people have been charged so far, including at least three with direct ties to the lefty Squad member, though she has not been charged.
Can you imagine the legacy media response to a Republican getting that rich that quickly?
One of the slicker hoglegs I have in my stable is this 4.75" Cimarron Pistolero, built by Pietta. It's a .357 but in my hands it's seen almost entirely .38 Specials. It's one of the guns I kept when my brother and I divided up my father's collection after he passed last year.
As a .357 on a .45 frame it's got a lot of extra metal, which means it soaks up recoil from .38/44-equivalent loads with a 178 Keith and a stiff charge of Herco. Standard pressure .38 Specials are mild to shoot in it.
It's a copy of the Colt Model P and has the original type lockwork, meaning it should be charged with "load 1, skip 1, load 4 and pull the hammer all the way back then lower it onto the empty chamber." For a safety it has a 2-position cylinder pin that when inserted all the way blocks the hammer from dropping fully. This is more to meet import points under the Gun Control Act of 1968 than to actually be used.
I'm waiting on some 158 grain LRNFP bullets from Missouri Bullet Co. with a black powder-compatible lube. I've wanted to try black powder .38 Specials and figure cleanup of a single action will be easier than one of my double action revolvers. (.38 Special was originally a BP round for those who don't know, with 21 grains of BP under a 158 grain LRN bullet.) I load other rounds with BP, btw, so I'm not a newbie at that.
It'll be interesting to see what it'll do with black powder loads.
Couple of months ago, I started looking for my binoculars. I, at one time, owned a nice Japanese binocular. Back in the 80s, I paid about $100 for them. They went with me to the woods, and to the training fields. 10X, bright and clear. The last time I recall suing them was on a deer lease in LaSalle parish, sometime after the turn of the century. I can't lay hands on them now, they seem to have gone away.
On Thanksgiving, I ordered a new set. This time it is Vortex Diamondback. For a bit over $200 from Optics Planet. They came in yesterday after Optics Plante's deplorable shipping methods. We found them shortly after dark last night when checking the mail.
I was sitting on the back patio, playing with them, when I noticed what I thought was a planet in the southeast sky. About 8:30 pm. Sure enough, it was Saturn. I could see the rings plainly through the lenses. Neat! They seem to have good glass at a fair price. Not as good as the Steiner binocs with the artillery reticle, but good enough for my uses.

Surfing the YouTube, I happened to see the noted English physicist Brian Cox talking about astronomical things. He was saying that gold and diamonds are fairly common in the universe, but somewhat rare on Earth. He thinks that one of the rarest things in the known universe is weed. Earth is the only place in the solar system that has wood, and he suspect that it is uncommon in the broader universe. Interesting.

Davis and Jenkins were booked on suspicion of attempted robbery with a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit robbery, burglary while in possession of a gun or deadly weapon, and assault with a deadly weapon.
They were both still hospitalized as of Thursday, and it's unclear when they could make their first court appearances in person.
Davis has priors arrests for theft in 2019 and domestic battery in 2020 and pleaded no contest to both charges, per court records. Jenkins pleaded no contest to a reckless driving charge in 2021.
LVMPD said officers responded around 4:05 p.m. Tuesday to reports of gunfire coming from Haven Oaks Place, part of a residential community near Sky Vista Drive and Red Red Canyon Road. They learned a homeowner shot two men when they allegedly approached him in his garage while they were armed.
The incident occurred around 2 p.m. on Pardee Road near Goddard Road when a silver SUV in the left lane attempted to merge right, but the driver of a gray hatchback wouldn't allow it, according to Taylor Police Detective Phillip Wengrowski.
When the SUV finally moved in front, both vehicles became stuck in traffic. That's when the front seat passenger of the SUV exited his vehicle and approached the hatchback.
"The driver of the second vehicle saw the front seat passenger approaching him. He exited his vehicle with a mace and retreated to the rear of his vehicle," Wengrowski said.
The hatchback driver warned the SUV passenger to back up while spraying mace. The passenger then lifted his shirt to reveal a firearm tucked in his waistband.
"Once the individual who maced saw the gun, he retreated back into his vehicle," Wengrowski said.
A special update on the silver market, from JWR: Spot silver jumped 10.35% in just ONE DAY, on Friday. (December 26, 2025.) So, today set new all-time highs for silver, platinum, and gold. Amazingly, the melt value of one U.S. pre-1965 silver dime is now $5.76. Today’s silver rally dropped the silver-to-gold price ratio to near 57-to-1. Seeing this happen on a Friday was particularly surprising, since Fridays are the usual “Mischief Days” for the Comex short-selling co-conspirators. Clearly, the Shorts have lost control.

(Continued from Part 3.) WEAPON It’s important to always maintain situational awareness wherever we are, and even more so when hitchhiking. There was only one time in all my hitchhiking travels where I had a negative experience during a ride. It got to the point where I thought it might be necessary to calmly let the driver know I was armed. A well-dressed guy in a Lincoln Continental gave me a ride. He looked like he was on his way to an important business meeting. We chitchatted for a while and then he made a homosexual proposition. It was out …

This decision Ortega v. Grisham (10th Cir. 2025) actually happened in August striking down New Mexico's waiting period law.
Cooling-off periods infringe on the Second Amendment by preventing the lawful acquisition of firearms. Cooling-off periods do not fit into any historically grounded exceptions to the right to keep and bear arms, and burden conduct within the Second Amendment's scope. In this preliminary posture, we conclude that New Mexico's Waiting Period Act is likely an unconstitutional burden on the Second Amendment rights of its citizens. We also conclude the other preliminary injunction factors are met and that Plaintiffs are entitled to an injunction.
Why this is now current is that New Mexico asked for an en banc appeal.
This matter is before the court on Defendants/Appellees’ Petition for Rehearing En Banc, and Plaintiffs-Appellants’ Response in Opposition to Petition for Rehearing En Banc. The petition and the response were circulated to all judges of the court who are in regular active service, and a poll was called. The poll did not carry. Consequently, the petition is DENIED. Judges Moritz and Federico would grant the petition. Judge Federico has filed a separate dissent from the denial of en banc rehearing, which is joined by Judge Moritz.
All 12 active judges on the 10th Circuit heard this. Only two voted for en banc appeal.

Waiting periods are among the dumbest gun control laws. If done as part of a background check scheme, I can see the logic. But dealer firearms transfers already go through a background check. These are just harassment.
Murder is largely done in the wee hours:
It turns out that many murders happen after midnight and into the wee hours. Crimeinamerica.com, which analyzes federal and state criminality data, concluded after reviewing 2018 FBI data that the deadliest time of day is midnight-1:00 a.m. Homicide figures stayed relatively high until 3 a.m.
“We are talking about a massive amount of data thus the findings remain relevant,” crimeinamerica.com site administrator Leonard Sipes, a former senior specialist for crime prevention for the Department of Justice’s clearinghouse, told Oxygen.
More recently, Denver Police Department homicide figures showed that the wee hours were indeed most deadly. Of the 96 Denver homicides during 2021, more than a third, or 35, took place between midnight and 5 a.m., reported westword.com.
If a person is so angry that a waiting period will stop them from committing murder, I am skeptical that waiting seven days will change anything.
