Germany’s economy is falling apart. [CB] are purchasing gold, the most in 14 months. Oklahoma Senator says Bitcoin has gone mainstream.

Germany Faces Highest Number Of Bankruptcies Since Great Financial Crisis

  • Germany is bracing for a sharp rise in bankruptcies this year, with an anticipated 25–30 percent increase compared to 2024, reaching levels not seen since the 2009 financial crisis.
  • In 2024, 364 major companies with annual revenues exceeding €10 million filed for bankruptcy — a 30 percent increase over the previous year. This marks a stark contrast to 2020, the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic when 292 such companies went bankrupt.
  • The hardest-hit sectors include automotive suppliers, mechanical engineering, construction, and healthcare.
  •  
  • Automotive suppliers have been identified as the most at-risk sector for insolvency in 2025, with one in six major bankruptcies in 2024 stemming from this industry. The transition to electric vehicles, declining car production, and weaker demand in key markets like China have exposed cracks in the sector’s foundation.
  •  
  • The construction industry took a heavy hit last year, with bankruptcies rising by 53 percent.

  •  Poland, Turkey, India, and China were the major buyers during this period. This trend continues to support gold prices which are up 28% since the beginning of 2024. Central banks can’t get enough gold.

    • Federal Reserve Officials Sound Inflation Warning… Over Trump’s Policies  

  • Federal Reserve officials  sounded the alarm on inflation over Trump’s policies related to tariffs and immigration.
  • CNBC reported:

    • Federal Reserve officials at their December meeting expressed concern about inflation and the impact that President-elect Donald Trump’s policies could have, indicating that they would be moving more slowly on interest rate cuts because of the uncertainty, minutes released Wednesday showed.

    Without calling out Trump by name, the meeting summary featured at least four mentions about the effect that changes in immigration and trade policy could have on the U.S. economy.

    Since Trump’s November election victory, he has signaled plans for aggressive, punitive tariffs on China, Mexico and Canada as well as the other U.S. trading partners. In addition, he intends to pursue more deregulation and mass deportations.

    However, the extent of what Trump’s actions will be and specifically how they will be directed creates a band of ambiguity about what is ahead, which Federal Open Market Committee members said would require caution.

    • Trump says it ‘doesn’t matter’ how GOP passes his agenda: ‘The end result is the same’

  • President-elect Trump on Wednesday said “it doesn’t matter” whether Republicans on Capitol Hill tackle his top priorities on taxes, energy and the border in one package or two as the party tries to nail down its plan for the coming months.
  • “We had a great meeting. There’s great unity. Whether it’s one bill or two bills, it’s going to get done one way or the other,” Trump told reporters following a meeting with Senate Republicans Wednesday evening.
  • “I think there’s a lot of talk about two, and there’s a lot of talk about one, but it doesn’t matter. The end result is the same,” he continued, hailing the meeting as “really unified” and “very strong.”
  • “We’ll get something done,” he added.

    • She didn’t have the script in front of her

  •  program. But the FAIR Plan reportedly only had a surplus of $200 million as of April 2024 and was likely to become insolvent if a catastrophic event occurred. Governor Newsom goes around posturing about politics instead of trying to solve urgent problems. Our state government takes billions of dollars from hard-working Californians and provides barely anything in return. An unconscionable failure.

    US troops need to stay in Syria to counter the Islamic State group, defense secretary says 

  • The U.S. needs to keep troops deployed in Syria to prevent the Islamic State group from reconstituting as a major threat following the ouster of Bashar Assad’s government, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told The Associated Press.
  • American forces are still needed there, particularly to ensure the security of detention camps holding tens of thousands of former IS fighters and family members, Austin said Wednesday in one of his final interviews before he leaves office.
  • According to estimates, there are as many as 8,000-10,000 IS fighters in the camps, and at least 2,000 of them are considered to be very dangerous.

    Michelle Obama on ‘Extended Vacation’ in Hawaii; Only Past President or First Lady Not in Attendance at Carter’s Funeral

  •  Michelle Obama had a scheduling conflict, as she remained in Hawaii on an “extended vacation.” Her absence stood out in contrast to the rare gathering of past and present national leaders, an event traditionally marked by bipartisan unity and respect. State funerals for former presidents are among the few occasions where the nation’s top political figures come together, often accompanied by foreign dignitaries and government representatives.

    Merrick Garland’s DOJ Asks 11th Circuit to Toss Order Blocking Release of Jack Smith’s Report
  • Attorney General Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice has formally requested that the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals lift an injunction issued by Judge Aileen Cannon, which temporarily blocks the release of a report by Special Counsel Jack Smith.
  • The report focuses on investigations involving former President Donald Trump. The primary focus of the investigation – and thus, Smith’s report – is on Trump’s alleged efforts to challenge the 2020 election results. However, another portion of it also deals with the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case, which was tossed by Cannon last year.
  • Volume two of the report, which pertains to Trump’s classified documents case, will remain confidential due to ongoing legal proceedings. The DOJ has assured that this portion of the report will only be made available for private review by select congressional leaders. However, concerns over leaks from Democrats in Congress remain an issue, the President-elect’s former co-defendants argued in a Wednesday evening filing.

    BREAKING: New York Court of Appeals Rules on Trump’s Request to Stay Sentencing

  • In a brief letter from Court Clerk Heather Davis directed to Trump’s attorney, Todd Blanche, she indicates that Judge Jenny Rivera reviewed the proposed order submitted on behalf of Trump and has declined to sign it, meaning the court will not entertain his request for stay.

  • Trump also filed an emergency application with the United States Supreme Court on Thursday. We can expect a ruling on that shortly and will, of course, report on that as soon as it is handed down.

  •  defendant is inaugurated and his status as the sitting President will pose much more severe and potentially insuperable obstacles to sentencing and finality. Thus, far from temporarily preserving the status quo, granting defendant’s requested ‘stay’ threatens to delay sentencing for years. That result would be particularly inequitable here given that, as the trial court noted, it was defendant who asked that sentencing—originally scheduled for July 11, 2024—be adjourned for repeated serial post-trial motions and then until after the presidential election.”

    • Former Congresswoman Debbie Lesko Calls for “Comprehensive Audit of Entire Election System” in Maricopa County After Being Sworn in as County Supervisor, Florida Secretary of State to be Consulted for Changes (VIDEO)

  • Former Congresswoman Debbie Lesko, upon taking office as a Maricopa County Supervisor Monday, announced plans to audit Maricopa County’s election system. 
  • “It is very important to a lot of my constituents,” she said.
  • This is a major departure from former Maricopa County officials’ stance that the elections are run with integrity despite major issues in the last three elections. Recall that former Maricopa County Chairman Bill Gates, following the 2022 election, which was stolen from Trump-Endorsed statewide candidates like Kari Lake and Abe Hamadeh, said the election “was run extremely well.” This is despite 60% of vote counting machines across Maricopa County breaking down on election day and disenfranchising in-person voters who were mostly Republicans.
  • This also came after the forensic audit of the 2020 election discovered major discrepancies in ballot chain of custody documentation, mail-in ballot signature verification, and ballot printing, as well as numerous election law violations. While serving in the U.S. House, Lesko was one of the brave 139 Republicans who voted to stop the certification of the stolen 2020 election.
  • Then, last November, Kari Lake was robbed of victory once again in a race where President Trump and Republicans dominated up and down the ballot. Despite Trump winning the presidential race in Maricopa County by over 70,000 votes, Justin Heap winning the County Recorder’s race by over 80,000 votes, Jerry Sheridan winning the County Sheriff’s race by over 130,000 votes, and other Republicans seeing similar turnout, we’re asked to believe that Kari Lake had a more than 100,000 vote deficit against far-left Democrat Ruben Gallego. The Gateway Pundit reported on the bogus numbers during Maricopa County’s two-week-long vote-counting process that began coming in right when it was believed Lake would take the lead in the race.

    Feds Warn Of More Terrorist Car Attacks

  • After the Ford Lightning attack in New Orleans on New Year’s Day, US federal law enforcement agencies are reportedly concerned similar terrorist activity could follow. In other words, everyone needs to stay vigilant since vehicles sadly can be effective and readily available tools of mass destruction and casualties.
  • A bulletin published on January 3 by the FBI, Homeland Security, and the US National Counterterrorism Center expressed concern about “possible copycat or retaliatory attacks” using everyday vehicles in the US, reports Reuters. Those types of attacks happen in other parts of the world, so there’s precedence for such a thing.

    Trump truthed the following article

    Reagan Was Right About Panama Canal. So Is Trump.   

  • “We built it. We paid for it. It’s ours.” That was Ronald Reagan’s take on how we should think about the Panama Canal when Americans were debating giving it to the Panamanian government in the 1970s.
  • “We cannot abdicate our responsibility for the operation of the canal and the security of the Western Hemisphere,” Reagan said.
  • President-elect Donald Trump recently revived this issue in a series of social media posts and in his speeches. He’s right to do that,  
  •   Trump raises some extremely important issues regarding the canal, which is of immense importance to a global naval power such as the United States.
  • To link up the Atlantic and Pacific oceans with a crossing through the Americas was an immensely valuable thing in an age of globalized trade and great power competition. The French tried and failed to build the canal in the late 19th century.
  • Panama exists as a country because of the United States.
  • On top of that, the treaties signed with Panama obligated the country to run the canal neutrally and without discriminatory pricing. The United States could intervene if that neutrality was ever broken.
  • While the canal has operated smoothly for the most part since the 1970s, things haven’t always gone smoothly. President George H.W. Bush launched a short and successful invasion of Panama in 1989 to depose Gen. Manuel Noriega, who had seized control of the country, refused to hold a fair election, turned Panama into a narco state, and was getting cozy with the Soviet Union.
  • More important for the modern state of Panama, a Hong Kong company purchased the Atlantic and Pacific ports of entry in 1996.
  •  China also has made enormous investments in Panama, and many of its companies operate there. So, the operation of the Panama Canal is threatened in a way that it hasn’t been since the U.S. ceded control more than 40 years ago.
  • If China truly can exert control over the Panama Canal, it would be a grave threat to the United States.
  • When the Panama Canal experiences traffic jams and other slowdowns, it can cause significant damage to global supply chains. It certainly did last September.
  • By putting the issue of the Panama Canal back in the news, he’s simply signaling that the U.S. is returning to the business of looking out for American interests first, and that those will always come before the feelings of foreign leaders or media critics.
