Normalerweise müsste das die Nr.1-Meldung in allen Medien sein:
Vor einem Jahr bewilligte der Bundestag ein gigantisches Schuldenpaket für "neue Investitionen". Eine Ifo-Studie zeigt: Das Geld wurde zu 95 Prozent zweckentfremdet, so etwa um Haushaltslöcher zu stopfen.

Wie irre ist das denn? Der Bundeskanzler glaubt, eine tägliche potenzielle Belastung um 12 Uhr sei eine große Entlastung für alle Verbraucherinnen und Verbraucher. Wer so etwas von sich gibt, ist als Bundeskanzler eine absolute Fehlbesetzung. Wahrscheinlich glaubt er inzwischen auch, ein “Sondervermögen” seien keine Schulden. WK

Yet another U-turn, this time on nuclear energy, which was villified for years by the Commission, including during VdL's first term. In a real democratic system, those committing hugemistakes leave the office, they don't change their minds. It's called accountability, and it doesn't exist in the EU.

This is how you know the Epstein files are REALLY bad.

My favorite thing about this chart is that the median homebuyer age rose from 39 in 2005 to 59 in 2025

20 years over 20 years

It’s literally the same people buying the homes two decades later

The big question:

What are gold and silver really telling us?

Gold and silver are now up more than 4 TIMES the S&P 500 in 2025 during one of the S&P 500's strongest bull runs ever.

That is, gold and silver are massively outperforming risky assets during a bull run in those same risky assets.

When safe havens are rallying with risky assets it tells you one thing: confidence in fiat currencies is eroding.

And, while deficit spending and rate cuts into stagflation are major drivers of this sentiment shift, we believe there is more to it.

The market is pricing in record levels of AI CapEx and what will inevitably become an AI "war" between the US and China.

The US will print more money and drive deficits higher with the sole purpose of "winning" the AI Revolution.

Gold and silver aren't just becoming more valuable;

Confidence in fiat currencies is collapsing.

Oh no.

Wenn die Chatkontrolle kommt, ist die EU als Freiheitsprojekt tot. Deutschland darf diesem Frontalangriff auf die Bürgerrechte nicht zustimmen. Im Gegenteil: Deutschland muss diesen Vorschlag entschieden bekämpfen. Merz und seine Regierung gehen offenbar davon aus, dass dieses Thema nicht genug Menschen interessiert und man mit einer Zustimmung durchkommen könnte. Es liegt jetzt wirklich an jedem einzelnen Bürger, seinen Unmut darüber offen zu formulieren – sei es in den sozialen Medien, in Schreiben an die Abgeordneten oder bei Demonstrationen. Informieren Sie sich und Ihre Mitbürger! Wenn die Chatkontrolle kommt, ist das das Ende der Privatsphäre in Europa. Es ist zudem eine fundamentale Bedrohung für die Presse- und Meinungsfreiheit. Wer bei diesem geplanten Dammbruch heute schweigt, kann vielleicht morgen schon nicht mehr frei reden. WK

Every great empire eventually collapses.
Rome. Greece. Britain.
The signs are clear in ours too.
Low birthrates. Weak character. Short-term thinking.

History repeats. Few are willing to see it.

[Richard Werner @scientificecon]

When I wrote my two substack articles on Germany, the consensus of economists was after 2 years of shrinking, Germany would grow again in 2025.
https://t.co/0LUoC1v1wL
Instead I warned of a likely 3rd year of recession, the first time since 1933.

It's happening. German unemployment soars to 14 year high.

Eine Regierung, die kein Problem mit 11,8 Mrd. für sogenannte"Klimahilfe" hat, während sie gleichzeitig die Pflegestufe 1 abschaffen will, hat nur eines verdient: Verachtung. Grenzenlose Verachtung.

[Richard Werner @scientificecon]

A sad time for freedom and human rights.

[lemass @Eire1984]

Europeans didn't vote for this,this proposal attacks freedom, autonomy and security.

This is disinformation to manipulate Europeans and manufacture consent.

This proposal is in no manner democratic, and illustrates the contempt the ECB has for the basic tenets of democracy and the rights of Europeans.

Europeans do not consent.

Wieviel Milliarden fehlen uns nochmal im Haushalt?

"2024 hat Deutschland mit einer Rekordsumme von 11,8 Milliarden Euro seine Zielmarke für internationale Klimahilfe übertroffen. Davon stammten 6,1 Milliarden Euro aus Haushaltsmitteln."

"Damit würden etwa Solar- und Windanlagen im globalen Süden oder der Ausbau des Nahverkehrs in Indien, Südafrika, Indonesien und Mexiko finanziert."

Indien. Indien fliegt (im Gegensatz zu Deutschland) zum Mond!

Und hier überlegen sich die Politiker, ob sie Pflegestufe 1 oder lieber das Ehegattensplitting abschaffen sollen.

Das deutsche BIP stagniert, während Schwellenländer mit Dynamik vorbeiziehen.
Wir stecken fest in Schuldumherschieben, politischer Blockade, Überalterung und einer Kultur der Anspruchshaltung.
Ohne ehrlichen Aufbruch bleibt nur das Verwalten des Niedergangs…

[Michael A. Arouet @MichaelAArouet]

Germany is the only major country with no growth this decade. They urgently need structural reforms and deregulation, yet the lefts in the government just scream for more taxes and debt.

With the lefts in coalition German decline will continue. Is there any hope for change?

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

Current situation:

1. Stocks are rising like the US economy is soaring

2. Oil prices are falling like we are entering a recession

3. Gold is rising like the Fed is cutting rates into inflation

4. Bitcoin is falling like Fed rate cuts are postponed

5. Home prices are rising like more rate cuts are coming

6. Treasury yields are rising like stagflation has arrived

The market is entering a new era of monetary policy.

The head of the largest German property firm Vonovia predicts a long, steady recovery of the German property sector. The Kiel Institute for the World Economy, linked to the university, predicts a turning point towards a recovery for German property.

Don't listen to them. They are wrong & are misleading you. The foreign interests controlling Germany (ECB, EU, CIA asset politicians) are causing a property crash & banking crisis to impose the digital control grid. https://t.co/O0TOTAJ1X8

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

I express my profound closeness to the Palestinian people in Gaza, who continue to live in fear and to survive in unacceptable conditions, forced once again from their own lands. Before Almighty God, who commanded “Thou shalt not kill,” and throughout human history, every person always has an inviolable dignity, to be respected and upheld. I renew my appeal for a ceasefire, the release of hostages, and a negotiated diplomatic solution, in full respect of international humanitarian law. I invite everyone to join my heartfelt prayer that a dawn of peace and justice may soon arise.
