## Resource

Start the year with a clear look back and a forward-focused plan. Kevin Freeman and Mike Carter assess politics, economics, and money — what worked, what didn’t, and what’s next. From tariffs and inflation trends to AI-fueled markets, gold and silver performance, and border policy impacts, this briefing prioritizes facts over spin. Get actionable insights on portfolio positioning, the risks of escalating debt and CBDC pushes, and the rise of transactional gold across multiple states. Explore new initiatives — the Economic Justice Board and SCAN — to counter structural threats and expand real on-ramps to prosperity.
