🚨 Gold Rush 2.0: Africa, Trump, and the Global Scramble for Gold 🧵 https://t.co/YCrNgGMEan — Rod D. Martin (@RodDMartin) Apr 28, 2025 from http://twitter.com/RodDMartin via IFTTT

The reason this argument is pointless is because there is no evidence in all of human history that anyone besides white westerners even have a slight interest at all in a color blind meritocracy and everyone on James’s side denies that basic observation. https://t.co/eVNjUKrHCi — Upstate Federalist (@upstatefederlst) Apr 28, 2025 from http://twitter.com/upstatefederlst via IFTTT

2/ Prince’s value-add? 🔹 Boost tax collection on minerals 🔹 Cut cross-border smuggling 🔹 Help Congo regain control of billions in lost revenue https://t.co/rxHis5fuZk — Rod D. Martin (@RodDMartin) Apr 28, 2025 from http://twitter.com/RodDMartin via IFTTT

3/ Why now? The deal comes as Trump’s administration and Congo explore a broader minerals-for-security partnership. Congo pitched the idea directly to President Trump: “Help us secure our resources, and we’ll help supply America’s critical minerals.” They don’t trust China! https://t.co/VggATdMweW — Rod D.

4/ BUT HERE’S A TWIST: Gold has been exempt from U.S. tariffs. Why? Because gold is essential to America’s economic strength—and national security. That’s why U.S. buyers are importing record amounts of gold, especially from Africa. https://t.co/dFc6AHXvQl — Rod D. Martin (@RodDMartin) Apr 28, 2025 from http://twitter.com/RodDMartin via IFTTT

6/ Africa’s top producers—Ghana, South Africa, Mali, Burkina Faso—are benefiting big time. Billions in extra revenue, fueled by U.S. demand. And some African nations are even negotiating BETTER deals with Washington, offering access in exchange for tariff relief. https://t.co/HJlokvOtlG — Rod D.

7/ Of course, this gold rush is also creating challenges: 🔸 Organized crime is moving into illegal mining 🔸 Conflict zones like Sudan, DRC, CAR are hotspots 🔸 The UAE is a key node in laundering illicit gold Law enforcement is cracking down, but demand keeps rising. https://t.co/j392obFAxG — Rod D.

8/ Europe? Not happy, because all the gold is flooding into America. Vaults in London are being emptied as gold shifts to New York. Swiss and UK reserves are shrinking. Some accuse the U.S. of “hoarding.” But America is securing what it needs, first. https://t.co/Vek32dXwIs — Rod D. Martin (@RodDMartin) Apr 28, 2025 from http://twitter.com/RodDMartin …

10/ Bottom line: Gold is booming. Africa is cashing in. The U.S. is stockpiling. Global supply chains are realigning around strength, certainty, and leverage. China can’t catch up with Trump. This isn’t just a price spike—it’s a strategic shift. https://t.co/jRvtIu1H3d — Rod D. Martin (@RodDMartin) Apr 28, 2025 from http://twitter.com/RodDMartin via IFTTT

@TheCalvinCooli1 Ive been doing a deep dive into Early Christian history, the Papacy and the Reformation. Went into it very Protestant…and its only making me more Protestant. I just cant see how you read the scriptures and justify the power that Catholicism appoints to the Papacy. — VeryGeniusPhd (@VeryGeniusPhd) Apr 28, 2025 from http://twitter.com/VeryGeniusPhd via …

1/ Gold is exploding. 💥 2022: $1,950/oz 2025: Nearly $3,425/oz Africa, which produces 25% of the world’s gold, is racing to capitalize on the surge. But this isn’t just about price. It’s about power. And the U.S. is leading the charge. 👇 https://t.co/pHQGrkluMv — Rod D. Martin (@RodDMartin) Apr 28, 2025 from http://twitter.com/RodDMartin via IFTTT

3/ Trump’s tariffs are reshaping everything: ✅ 145% tariffs on Chinese goods ✅ 10% blanket tariffs on imports ✅ 30-50% tariffs on African exports The goals? 1. Zero-zero tariff deals 2. Reignite U.S. manufacturing, protect national security https://t.co/8seA6SCYpc — Rod D. Martin (@RodDMartin) Apr 28, 2025 from http://twitter.com/RodDMartin via IFTTT

I was thinking about this recently also with regard to elder care. If your parents had you in their late 30s and you have a kid in your late 30s, you’re going to be dealing with an infant and an elderly parent at the same time. that sucks! https://t.co/8ntIt6NKfJ — Ashley Fitzgerald (@RizomaSchool) Apr 28, …

Pastors, your congregations are begging you to apply the text to women as you would to men. Be direct and helpful about the duties of women as they arise in the text. Apply the text to common female sins as you would common male sins. You can’t pastor people you’re scared of. — Brian Sauvé …

@LigonDuncan @ReformTheoSem @crossway @RTSJackson I’ll throw in an “attagirl” since some people don’t seem to have manners. Sheesh, she’s not Paula White Cain, people. Editing is tough work. And some ladies are quite good at it. Many of the most prolific reformed authors were glad to have their wives’ assistance in proofing. — Tim O’Waddle …

The way this young woman has been treated is egregious. A woman being a book editor is not feminism.

You want everything, but you can’t have everything. So you want to not want anything. But that’s wanting. So you want to want what you already have. Including wanting and not wanting. Wanting what is… — Naval (@naval) Apr 28, 2025 from http://twitter.com/naval via IFTTT
