Confirmation hearings for President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming cabinet are scheduled to begin tomorrow, Tuesday, January 14th.
The senatorial snakes will each take up careful positioning. Doug Collins for Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Doug Burgum for Secretary of the Interior, and Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense are each scheduled for confirmation hearings in the Senate tomorrow.
With committee passage strongly likely, former Congressman Doug Collins will likely garner more than 60 votes in the full Senate. Former Governor Doug Bergum will also likely glide through the committee review, with around 70 votes likely in the full Senate. However, Pete Hegseth is where the challenge will become first visible.
Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth is viewed as the first potential scalp to be taken in the upper chamber. The first hurdle is getting out of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Chairman Roger Wicker (R-Miss) and Ranking Member Jack Reed (D-RI).
The full slate of Democrat members are likely to oppose Hegseth under the justification of his personal attributes not being of strong enough moral character to lead the military. The women on the committee will face strong pressure to reject Hegseth due to perceived sexism and misconduct. No one knows what the FBI background check has uncovered, but it will likely be shaped during the predictable confrontation.
For Democrats on the committee, dirtying up Hegseth will be job #1. For Republicans, they will need to walk a fine line between supporting the Democrats and yet being visible supporters lest they face the ire of Donald Trump and a fully triggered MAGA army to light up their phones.
Democrat Senators, Jeanne Shaheen, Kirsten E. Gillibrand, Mazie K. Hirono, Elizabeth Warren, Tammy Duckworth, Jacky Rosen and Elissa Slotkin, will all play the gender card putting pressure on the two Republican committee women Joni Ernst and Deb Fischer, not to defend Hegseth.
This will be the #1 confirmation hearing to watch tomorrow.

QUESTION: Thank you so much for your world forecasts. It is very helpful to be able to read you here in China. You said that deflation is in motion into 2028. People are cutting back on spending and your model has been correct here in China. Could you provide a quick overview for 2025?
DZ
ANSWER: President Xi Jinping has acknowledged that 2025 will be a challenging year of reform. He’s not wrong, at least about the second point. Deflation remains the major problem going into 2028. Prices are indeed falling as households curtail their spending. We are all human, and as soon as economic uncertainty appears on the horizon, people will hoard their cash. This is self-evident from ancient times.
I am doing my best to try to explain to anyone who will listen that this hair brain idea of Trump and tariffs will bring about an economic depression as we move into 2028 and he has the risk that his legacy will match that of Herbert Hoover. There were the Sovereign Defaults of 1931 and that wiped out capital formation. That was the major cause of more than 9,000 bank failures in the USA. We also face massive sovereign defaults, with the worst in Japan and Europe. Add tariffs to this bearish economic outlook, and Trump will export deflation, and with that, the US will also not be able to see overseas. The entire world’s GDP will decline by about 20%.
The People’s Bank of China is as trapped as the rest of the central banks, and it will be unable to stop the deflation without adopting a new economic theory. We are approaching 2026, which will be an important year for our models, and it is even 72 years from the formation of the Chinese Constitution, which was enacted on September 20th, 1954, with the first meeting of the National People’s Congress in Beijing unanimously approval the 1954 Constitution of the People’s Republic of China. It was a matter of weeks when, on October 1st, 1954, The China Construction Bank was founded.
Canada was the first central bank to cut rates within days of this Economic Confidence Model turning on May 7th, 2024. Overall, we are in a deflationary atmosphere into 2028. With regard to China, the downturn can be hard for two years into 2026.

Confirming earlier reports, Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) member, Senator James Lankford, appears on Meet the Press to confirm that Tulsi Gabbard’s change in position on FISA-702 now gains his supportive vote. Senator Lankford will support Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence. (WATCH – prompted 1:03):
.
Senator Lankford flat out lies in his response when he says, “702 has nothing to do with American citizens.” That is a lie. The very element “702” only pertains to an American citizen, no one else. Foreign persons do not have constitutional protections, only American citizens do. The FISA-702 statute is specifically designated for Americans who are “inadvertently captured” during foreign intelligence intercepts.
[Also, notice how every Sunday interview begins with a media demand that California be financially supported by congress. They never did that for Western North Carolina.]

Greenland Prime Minister Mute Egede said in a joint press conference with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen that he’s ready to speak with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.
(VIA DAILY MAIL) – Greenland’s leader, Múte Egede, has expressed his willingness to engage in negotiations with President-elect Trump – although it won’t be over American potentially gaining control of the country.
Instead, the discussions would focus on the future of the mineral-rich Arctic territory, with a clear emphasis that Greenland’s people have no interest in becoming Americans.
Speaking at a press conference in Denmark on Friday, which holds nominal sovereignty over Greenland, Egede acknowledged the strategic importance of Greenland to the U.S. and said he was open to discussing areas of mutual interest. (more)
Personally, if we are really serious about this stuff, I still think we could trade Puerto Rico to Denmark in exchange for Greenland, then just expand the U.S. Pituffik military base and call it Trumplandia. Hold a national referendum in Greenland and ask them how they feel about it. Easy peasy.
