New Jersey Governor Admits Over 6,000 Illegal Aliens Were Registered to Vote in Motor-Voter System Between 2023 and 2024r


Posted originally on CTH on July 21, 2026 | Sundance 

CTH has outlined the issues with motor-voter registration for over a decade.  Today, what the mainstream media always denied was factually admitted by New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill.

Governor Mikie Sherrill – “Last week I learned that a serious software error in New Jersey’s Motor Vehicle System led to the registration of roughly 6,600 people who indicated that they were not U.S. citizens between June 2023 and June 2024, almost three years prior to my taking office. These individuals answered “no” when asked on a keypad whether they were a U.S. citizen when applying for drivers’ licenses and identification cards, but through no fault of their own, the system registered them anyway.

This happened under the previous administration and, upon learning this information, I immediately ordered my chief counsel to launch an investigation to get to the bottom of what occurred. I also ordered the removal of any residents from our voter rolls who were erroneously added between June 2023 and June 2024. The new MVC Administrator that I appointed has begun the process of replacing the vendor responsible for administering the system.”

“Our preliminary analysis shows fewer than 400 individuals who were newly registered for the first time because of the error voted. They were registered as Democrats, Republicans and Unaffiliated voters and were scattered across the state.

I want to underscore how seriously I take this matter. As a military veteran who swore an oath to defend our Constitution, and as a former federal prosecutor, I believe the integrity of our elections is fundamental to our democracy. I am appalled by the reckless failures that allowed this to happen and the lack of transparency shown by those in charge at the time. This failure didn’t occur under my watch, but accountability starts now. I am taking action to prevent anything like it from occurring in the future and make sure those responsible are held accountable.

As the Trump Administration tries to weaponize elections for political gain, I am ensuring we protect our elections. Let me be clear: Donald Trump has zero credibility on the issue of election integrity. For more than ten years, he has worked to undermine Americans’ faith in our elections by spreading lies about legitimate election results, attempting to overturn a free and fair election, encouraging an attack on our Capitol when he couldn’t accept the will of the voters, and defunding election security at the federal level.” (read more)

This all started with the George Soros “Secretary of State Project“.

By the time you get to 2017, the motor-voter process was manipulated in multiple blue states.  CTH had a source inside the California IT network who outlined how the system was constructed {GO DEEP}.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford Promises “to Dismantle the U.S” Economy in Retaliation for Tariffs


Posted originally on CTH on July 21, 2026 | Sundance 

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has a message to President Trump and to all Americans. Premier Ford promises to dismantle the U.S. economy if President Trump continues to threaten tariffs and trade sanctions.

Considering the economy of the USA is ten-times larger than Canada, that’s quite a threat from Premier Doug Ford. WATCH:  

.

Personally, I think all this back-and-forth banter is no longer worth the surface effort.  It would be much easier, and now affirmed as constitutionally appropriate by the Supreme Court, if President Trump just executed a full trade embargo against all Canadian goods for a period of 60-days.

Perhaps that way Canada will recognize just how vulnerable they are.  Perhaps not, but it’s worth the effort.  Just ban all imports and exports for 60-days and let’s see what happens.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney Responds to Latest U.S. Tariff Increase


Posted originally on CTH on July 21, 2026 | Sundance

Things are going to escalate very quickly now as the midterm election looms closer and various interests start to take their lane against President Trump and the economic position of the United States.  There are trillions at stake.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney was asked about the latest Sec.338 tariffs levied by President Trump and USTR Jamieson Greer.  Carney said he and U.S. President Donald Trump agreed to intensify trade negotiations following a phone conversation earlier this morning.

While the phone call likely did contain that sentiment, USTR Greer was clear on CNBC today that Mark Carney is simply not telling the truth.  The babble from the Canadian side is nothing of substance and just repeats the same nonsensical claims about agreeing to things that are not in conflict.

Speaking to reporters in Ottawa, Prime Minister Carney said both sides would step up discussions in the coming weeks despite Trump’s latest tariff threat against Canada. He added that all options remain on the table if the United States proceeds with new tariffs.  WATCH:

Below is how President Trump responded to questions about the motive for the new tariffs.

USTR Jamieson Greer Outlines Details of Misleading Talking Points by Canadian Trade Officials


Posted originally on CTH on July 21, 2026 | Sundance

In the first half of this CNBC interview with U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) Jamieson Greer, the Ambassador walks through the reasoning, purpose and intent of the recently announced 50% tariff rate against Canadian imported goods.

As noted by USTR Greer the Canadians are applying two separate metrics within their trade agreement with Europe and the USA.  Toward Europe there are no limits and quotas on dairy products, toward the USA there are severe limits and quotas applied by third party brokers (co-ops owned by Canadian dairy farms) leveraged by the Canadian government.  This is one example of Canadian duplicity.

Additionally, by the various provincial governments of Canada banning the import and/or sale of U.S. products, and with Canada putting caps and limits on automobiles, these USA trade actions are being confronted by the 50% countervailing duties against Canadian imports.  Greer also calls ‘bulls**t’ on Carney’s double speak.  WATCH:

The trade discussion with Canada returns at the 10:00 minute mark. Jamieson Greer notes we have always had trade issues with Canada for decades. There was a significant percentage of the population who are against offshoring jobs, which is what NAFTA essentially did in North America.

It is also worth emphasizing that President Trump wants Canada to diversify. Both U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra and President Trump have said, repeatedly, President Trump wants Canada to go make other bilateral deals with other nations.

Why? Two main reasons.

#1) If Canada has to enter a bilateral trade agreement with another country, suddenly they learn what reciprocity means. They have to give something in order to get trade benefit. This is a completely new concept for Canada who have taken advantage of the USA for a long time with ZERO reciprocity in mind.

This is what former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was talking to Trump about in Mar-a-Lago (December ’24). In essence, Donald Trump wants Canada to go and try to cut more favorable trade deals, so they will learn how good they had it.

#2) If Canada cuts a trade agreement with, say, Europe, the terms of that FTA purchase in/out then become a standard in their trade allowances.

This permits team USA to turn to Canada and say, “wait, we want the same terms”. We might even ask for most favored nation terms due to scale and scope.

Canada is not prepared for this type of bilateral relationship at all.  The CUSMA trade negotiator Dominic LeBlanc just discovered the problem following the current Canadian effort to diversify FTAs.  Suddenly, LeBlanc has admitted quietly they have no response.

For around 40+ years (USTR Greer would argue 60+ years) Canada has benefitted from the U.S. economy purchasing their goods, allowing their businesses unlimited access to the U.S. market and yet simultaneously restricting the Canadian market from similar reciprocity.  Those terms are no longer acceptable.

Trump Administration Announces Section 338 Tariffs at Rate of 50% Across Wide Range of Canadian Goods and Imports


Posted originally on CTH on July 21, 2026 | Sundance

It is very obvious from the construct and details of this announcement that U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer has completed a comprehensive review of the retaliatory action by Canada that followed the U.S. Section 232 tariffs on Steel and Aluminum. {FACT SHEET HERE}

Last year two countries retaliated against the U.S. for the 232 (steel and aluminum) tariffs, China and Canada. The USTR office has now quantified the tariff and non-tariff barriers triggered by Canada in 2025 and provided President Trump with a financial quantification of the trade impact.

The three Canadian retaliatory sectors highlighted include: (1) Alcoholic Beverages, (2) Motor Vehicles, (3) Dairy Products. These are the three segments quantified by USTR Greer that form the baseline for the U.S. to retaliate with countervailing duties.

Effective 30 days from now, August 16, 2026, President Trump has established a 50% tariff rate against a wide variety of Canadian imports. Essentially three major Annexes: {LIST 1 – LIST 2 – LIST 3} under the authority of Section 338.

♦ Section 338 authorizes the President, if he determines it will serve the public interest, to offset any burden or disadvantage placed on the commerce of the United States by an unequal imposition or discrimination by a foreign country by specifying and declaring additional duties not to exceed 50 percent ad valorem (or its equivalent) and not to take effect earlier than 30 days after the President’s proclamation finding that a foreign country imposes an unreasonable charge, exaction, regulation, or limitation that is not equally enforced on the like articles of every foreign country, or discriminates in fact against U.S. commerce in a way that places the commerce of the United States at a disadvantage compared to the commerce of any foreign country.

Section 338 also authorizes the President to suspend, revoke, supplement, or amend any proclamation under section 338 whenever the President deems that the public interests require such action. Further, section 338 authorizes the President to exclude products of the foreign country if the foreign country maintains or increases the discrimination against the commerce of the United States and the President deems the exclusion to be consistent with the public interests and the interests of the United States. (more)

The 50% tariffs apply to food, alcohol, beer, clothing, chemicals, electronics, flowers, fragrance oils, chemical raw materials and importantly wood products.

The wood products are a big hit to the Canadian export sector.  This includes paper goods, cardboard, plywood and fabricated pulp wood derivatives like particle board (MDF).  This is a huge export sector for Canada that will now trigger a 50% tariff rate.

Essentially, the list is very long and includes almost every assembled component part created by Canadian manufacturing.

FACT SHEET HERE – {LIST 1 – LIST 2 – LIST 3}

We can surmise the baseline is part of the non-negotiable trade calculation done by President Trump and USTR Greer, that will carry forward into any further trade agreement inside or outside the USMCA construct.

Meaning if the trilateral agreement holds (USMCA), these valuation targets will be part of the expectation from the USA side of the discussion toward Canada.  However, in the more likely scenario a bilateral trade agreement is preferred, this now quantifies the tariff reciprocity anticipated by the USA, in addition to the elimination of non-tariff barriers.

ADD:

Some Canadian people think this round of U.S. tariffs is not serious, not realistic and easy to negotiate away.  I suggest they go back and look at the details outlined.  These are methodical tariffs, well-grounded and extremely difficult to challenge.

What USTR Jamieson Greer has quantified is the dollar value of Canada’s prior 2025 retaliation. Yes, it was driven by Canadian govt leadership; however, no, the dollar losses were created by a Canadian cultural response.

The Canadian govt cannot require Canadian citizens to purchase U.S. goods (think alcohol). Canadian citizens are emotionally angry at the USA (Trump), because -in part- they have been whipped into a frenzy by leftist politicians and pundits as part of the Canadian identity.

Even if the various provincial governments’ removed bans on products, the revenue is not going to return because the issue is now a cultural boycott. Canadians are defining themselves by being hostile to America. This is their national identity now.

This emotionally detached outcome is likely what President Trump needed in the dynamic of eliminating the USMCA: (1) Canada boycotts U.S. goods, (2) that behavior creates lost revenue that can be quantified, and (3) that quantified loss then becomes a tariff regime. Wash-Rinse-Repeat.

Canada cannot exit the spiral without stopping their emotional identification. Additionally, the Canadian government cannot reverse the quantified trade loss because it is not based on economic activity under their control.

Beyond the quantifications, data and mathematics, that’s the reality of the matter.

While both China and Canada retaliated to the 2025 U.S. Sec.232 tariffs on Steel and Aluminum, there is a big difference between China and Canada when it comes to finance and strategic economics.

China is thoughtful, calculated and cunning.

Canada is emotional and reactive.

What happened after the 2025 Sec.232 tariffs was easily predictable if you accept each government for who they are, not what they pretend to be.

China (Chairman Xi and FM Liu) didn’t initially react to the Trump tariffs. Instead, they quantified the outcome. They estimated a vulnerability of roughly $30 billion in the sectoral tariffs, more in the baseline.

China then evaluated the cost/benefit of response. A calculated decision looking at the totality of the trade landscape. If they lost $30B USD, could it be recaptured in another sector? What other measures could China take etc., etc.?

China then folded the $30B loss into other global trade constructs. Europe was used to recapture most of it (deep industrial seeds planted); some from South America (foodstuffs).

By leveraging EU, Asia and South American trade agreements, China offset their $30B loss.

Canada however, reacted emotionally to the Sec.232 tariffs. Immediately boycotted various sector goods, levied retaliatory tariffs and instituted new non-tariff barriers and regulations in an effort to punish Trump.

See the difference in strategy?

China then ends up leveraging the emotion of Canada into a bilateral that puts BYD/GEELY into a manufacturing position within North America. This is the same thing Beijing did in Europe using EU self-imposed climate change mandates as the foot in the door.

China understands all those soon to be empty industrial buildings in Canada can be purchased for pennies on the dollar. Beijing keeps the panda mask and promises to purchase canola oil in exchange (lol).

Canada’s emotional response to the USA plays into the hands of both Chairman Xi and President Trump, and to make matters worse from the perspective of the Canadians their best play is to be even more emotional and angry (Carney/Ford).

Trump doesn’t want Xi in Canada, but that’s a battle for another day… Today, squishing Carney works for both.

China is calculated, serious, methodical and cunning.

Canada is emotional, reactive and, well, if we’re honest, kinda stupid.

An Uncomfortable Change in Perspective


Posted originally on CTH on July 20, 2026 | Sundance

I would strongly suggest interested readers or researchers to go back and look carefully at the very public comments from Senate Intelligence Community Vice-Chairman Mark Warner, as they relate to the seizure of Fulton County, GA, election records.   What you might notice forms the background of an uncomfortable change in perspective.

In nearly all of Warner’s remarks, his main argument centered on opposing DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s presence at the Fulton County election records warehouse. He wasn’t worried about the FBI seizing the records; rather, he was deeply concerned about Gabbard observing the seizure.

Here’s part of the bigger problem.

When wrongdoing, fraud, corruption, or criminal activity occurs within a federal agency, including the Intelligence Community, the FBI is the institution tasked with investigating it.

That’s the problem.

People ask repeatedly, why has there been no accountability for the obvious corruption?

Perhaps we really don’t want to accept the obvious answer.

The FBI is doing corrupt, criminal and fraudulent stuff because the institution of the FBI is comprehensively corrupt. As a consequence, they are allied -directly or through willful blindness- with operatives in other agencies doing criminal, corrupt and fraudulent stuff.

Think about “security clearances.” Which agency or institution determines the outcomes of Security Clearance reviews or investigations? Who is responsible for approving or denying security clearances? The same FBI.

The same FBI agency who took possession of Hillary Clinton’s missing emails, Huma Abedin/Anthony Weiner’s laptop and Hunter Biden’s laptop. The same FBI agency who took custody of Jeffrey Epstein’s safe contents. The same FBI agency who raided James O’Keefe to retrieve the Ashley Biden diary. That’s the same FBI agency now with custody of the Fulton County election evidence.

The same agency who investigated the J6 pipe bombing, the Las Vegas mass shooting, the various Trump assassination attempts and even the TWA-800 explosion. That’s the same agency that seemingly cannot stop Antifa terrorist attacks yet can pour over 1,500 agents into a J6 investigation.

The FBI now has the physical ballots and machines from the Fulton County election offices.

Do we think the FBI wants honest elections?… that could result in larger ranks of honest, elected officials?… that could then hold oversight over the FBI?

Do we really think valid and secure elections are in the interests of a corrupt FBI organization?

While leading the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and overseeing the revocation of security clearances from dozens of career intelligence operatives, Tulsi Gabbard was in a unique position to uncover the motives and intentions of the FBI as a governmental institution.

FBI agents and analysts were assigned to desks inside the ODNI.

Do you remember the leaks against Tulsi Gabbard?

Perhaps now we can contextualize why Tulsi Gabbard was in Fulton County, GA.  And, more importantly, why the SSCI was going bananas when they found out she was there.

Senate Intelligence Committee Vice-Chairman Mark Warner was not apoplectic the FBI was in Fulton County, Georgia, taking control of election machines and ballots.  Warner likely already knew what the FBI was doing there.  The same motive and intent behind all the mysteriously missing laptops (Clinton, Abedin, Weiner, Awan, Biden) of evidence that seemingly vaporized from the public psyche.

No, Senator Mark Warner was apoplectic because Tulsi Gabbard followed the FBI to Fulton County, to watch them take custody of evidence with the motive to watch their intent.

The FBI was forced into action because Garland Favorito was annoyingly and methodically winning the painstakingly slow legal arguments, and there was a full summer of concern before the next election was scheduled.  Someone was going to be looking at those raw election ballots, those physical receipts, records and factual tabulation outcomes.  The FBI took over.

Do you remember when Fulton County commission chair, Robb Pitts, said at a press conference he received a phone call –two days before the FBI served a criminal warrant to seize 2020 election documents– to warn that he, Georgia’s secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, former Raffensperger deputy Gabriel Sterling and others in the state were at risk of imminent arrest by federal agents. {SOURCE} Robb Pitts was tipped off by someone in DC.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard said she went to Fulton County, to watch events as approved by the White House. There is every reason to believe her statement.  Recently, there was a reported considerable disparity between what Acting DNI Pulte wanted President Trump to outline in his speech on election manipulation, and what the White House insiders were comfortable with {SOURCE}. The final outcome within the Trump speech was ‘smoothed’ by the Intelligence Community.

If we modify our perspective to consider the DNI was not a participant to law enforcement activity, but rather the DNI was bearing witness to a crime taking place; then suddenly, Senator Mark Warner’s apoplexy makes a lot more sense.

Anti-ICE Leftist Attacks Federal Immigration Court in Manhattan


Posted originally on CTH on July 20, 2026 | Sundance

An anti-ICE violent leftist attacked 26 Federal Plaza earlier this morning, where an immigration court takes place.  The attacker carried explosives and was captured on video pouring a flammable liquid in front of the building before setting it ablaze.   The suspect was intercepted during the attack and has been detained by police.

The New York City Fire Department reported to WABC that three civilians sustained minor injuries, with two declining medical treatment. The third individual was taken to NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital.  FBI Director Kash Patel released a statement on X confirming details about the incident.

“This morning an individual deployed an incendiary device outside of 26 Federal Plaza in New York. The individual is in custody and two minor injuries reported thus far. FBI JTTF is investigating the incident,” Patel wrote on X.

The suspect is a known anti-ICE activist who used a cart to wheel in fireworks, an accelerant in buckets, and what looked like rifles to attack the federal building.  Some alarming video below.

British “Democracy” – The Unelected Monarch Creates the Unelected U.K Prime Minister


Posted originally on CTH on July 20, 2026 | Sundance 

There is absolutely nothing democratic within the political schemes of the communists, leftists and Nazis’.  Just as Ukraine is led by an unelected authoritarian under the guise of the ‘new democratic norms’; just as Kamala Harris was installed as a presidential nominee under those same anti-democracy norms; so too is U.K Prime Minister Andy Burnham now installed without any election by the British citizens.

The unelected monarch, King Charles, appoints the unelected Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, and the first pledge of the unelected leader is a promise to make life better for the people who are denied a voice in his agenda.

THE BACKGROUND – Former communist Prime Minister Kier Starmer was facing a massive amount of opposition, his policies and party platform had collapsed, and the people of Britain were revolting against him.

Starmer’s Labour party lost more than 1,400 seats in the country’s local elections, and the non-communist, nationalistic Reform Party was winning.  Something urgent was needed.

Polls showed communist Mayor Andy Burnham was popular as his mask still had still not fully dropped, and the illegal immigrants on the streets of Manchester were only raping a few girls each month which was still easy to hide.  However, the problem was that Burnham could not replace Starmer unless he was a Member of Parliament (MP).

With urgent payments for future indulgencies quickly afforded, the communist MP for Makerfield, a district within Greater Manchester, resigned from his job so that communist Andy Burnham could run for his MP position.  A few days later, exactly at the moment communist Burnham was being sworn in to the MP job, communist Starmer announced his exit.

The plan had worked seamlessly.

The Communist Labour Party of the U.K then coalesced quickly to replace Starmer with Burnham, and today Communist King Charles appointed Communist Andy Burnham to lead the country.  No election needed; i.e. ‘The New Democratic Norm’ again fulfilled.  Great Britain’s Bernie Sanders is now in charge of things.

…”I have just come from Buckingham Palace where I have accepted his Majesty the King’s invitation to form a government”…

Secretary of State Marco Rubio Delivers Remarks to Press Pool Traveling to ASEAN Summit


Posted originally on CTH on July 20, 2026 | Sundance 

Secretary of State Marco Rubio speaks to reporters ahead of his trip to Manila, Philippines.  Secretary Rubio is departing from Joint Base Andrews to attend the 59th Association for Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Foreign Ministers’ Meeting set to take place this week.

Secretary Rubio spoke about a number of topics and was questioned about the ongoing Iran conflict in the Middle East. This comes as the United States continues to launch attacks on Iran through the weekend. WATCH:

.

Within the interview there was a question about the FIFA World Cup attendance by President Trump, Prime Minister Carney and President Sheinbaum; essentially about relations.  Secretary Rubio interestingly notes that Sheinbaum attended despite having significant challenges in Mexico right now.  The tone and intonation of the remark imply something much more significant happening in the background than is currently visible to the general public.  Worth watching.

Something serious is happening within Mexico that is straining/complicating our broader geopolitical support for the Sheinbaum administration.  Recent events have not made headlines, but what Rubio notes is likely related to a significant shift in cartel activity.  {SEE HERE}  and {SEE HERE}  and {SEE HERE}.
