The Department of Veterans Affairs is nearly tripling the ceiling on its contract with Oracle to modernize the agency’s electronic health record system, yet lawmakers left a House Veterans’ Affairs Committee hearing Wednesday without clear answers about why the increase is necessary or how much taxpayers will ultimately pay.VA’s original electronic health record contract had a ceiling of roughly $10 billion. The department has increased that ceiling to roughly $27 billion, an increase of about $17 billion.The nearly $27 billion figure discussed repeatedly during Wednesday’s hearing is not money VA has already spent. It is the maximum potential value of…

There is a big difference between reading a survival blog and actually living through a disaster. You may have all the highest-rated gear, or shelves filled with top freeze-dried meals, but you have no way of knowing what really works. If a severe storm hits, or a local power grid collapse occurs, you don’t want to be opening boxes of unused gear in the dark. The middle of a disaster is a bad time to discover that your main backup power source needs to be charged, or your manual can opener is missing from your emergency bin. The best way…

The Navy’s top officer issued a directive to get high-energy lasers into sailors’ hands as soon as possible to adapt to the modern combat environment.Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Daryl Caudle released his 10th C-NOte on Wednesday, saying the service needs to incorporate directed energy technology sooner rather than later to combat a threat environment in which mass-produced, low-cost drones challenge traditional munitions.“The question is no longer whether these systems work—it is how quickly we can field them across the fleet and place them in the hands of sailors,” Caudle said. “For too long, we have viewed directed energy as…
Warsh is Worried… Kevin Warsh spoke on Friday. Gold and silver SOLD OFF big on his remarks. In fact, gold closed below its 200-DMA, which means I must discuss what’s likely to happen next. We’re entering two of the most important economic periods in world history right now and it is essential to understand the IMMINENT DANGER. I have been discussing the September-October market sell-off at length throughout the summer, so to recap my concern: China’s economy is in free fall, which means it isn’t buying Treasuries. Between Japan’s financial crisis and China’s, the two foreign holders of U.S. debt…

The copper bull market has become much bigger than copper. This is rapidly becoming a do-or-die industrial challenge for the Western world. America wants AI supremacy. It wants gigantic data centers, new electrical grids, semiconductor fabs, autonomous factories, robots, drones, missiles, nuclear plants and a manufacturing renaissance. There is one problem: Almost everything America wants to build requires copper. And Washington has finally recognized copper as a national-security issue. · President Trump imposed Section 232 tariffs on copper products after determining that excessive import dependence threatened U.S. national security. In 2026, Washington strengthened the regime further: most covered copper products now…
