Unfortunately, Target Exceeded with Faster Timeline


Posted originally on CTH on July 18, 2025 | Sundance 

On the day after the 2024 election, Palantir was valued at $51.13.  Today, Palantir has closed higher than our initial projection of $150 to $200 “prior to the midterms.”

Palantir continues benefitting from govt contracts not just for military application but also for facial recognition processes within (1) the deportation operation, (2) implementation of Real ID, (3) DHS/TSA use at entry points.

.

I have outlined this seemingly inevitable construct with great granular detail.  Culminating in a December 2024 recap [SEE HERE] along with my position in January of this year [SEE HERE].  I do not like it, but I understand the arguments behind it.

You Treepers know my top two priorities in the world of politics: Economic Nationalism (MAGAnomics), and capital letter Liberty, the fight against the surveillance state.  In these endeavors the “Tech Bros” are opposed to our positions.

President Trump is focused on #1, economic nationalism. He eats, breathes and thinks about it all the time.  It is also his #1 priority.  However, President Trump has so many other items of great importance on his desk the surveillance state issue does not yet get his focused attention.

If confrontation with the surveillance state is also a priority for you, be patient.

Eventually President Trump will see the Palantir constructs that have been laid around the administration by Machiavellian elements.  Trump’s hindsight will then be a weapon as he starts asking the big questions to those who have sat silently as the constructs have unfolded.

Live your very best life, it is the only one you have.

Lord Jesus Christ, before the mountains were born or the stars were hung in place, You were. By You all things were made, and without You, nothing was made that has been made. You are the radiance of God’s glory, the exact imprint of His nature, and You uphold all things by the word of Your power.

I bow before You, the Lamb who was slain, yet who reigns forevermore. You conquered death by Your death. You triumphed over sin, not by force, but by love. By blood, by a cross, by a crown of thorns. Worthy are You, Christ Jesus, to receive all glory, honor, and praise. You ransomed people from every tribe, tongue, and nation, and made us kings and priests before the Father.

Jesus, You are the Good Shepherd who leaves the ninety-nine for the one. You are the True Vine, the Bread of Life, the Light of the World.  You are the Door through which we enter salvation…the Way, the Truth, and the Life. What is man that You are mindful of us? What is my soul, that You would stoop to dwell within me? Yet You call me friend. You call me beloved. You washed my feet, bore my shame, and clothed me in righteousness.

You speak and the winds obey. You touch and the leper is made whole. You whisper, and demons flee. You breathe, and dry bones come to life.

So I exalt You, Jesus! Not merely with my lips, but with every heartbeat, every breath, every moment. Let my life be a living hallelujah.” ~ Chad Prather

Amen!

Peter Navarro Discusses Why Retail Sales Growth Exceeds All Wall Street Projections, and Prices Continue Dropping


Posted originally on CTH on July 18, 2025 | Sundance

White House Trade and Economic Advisor Peter Navarro takes a well deserved victory lap on the latest U.S. consumer sales news.  The Census Bureau report, yesterday, highlighted that consumer sales remain strong at +0.6% – significantly higher than all economists forecast [DATA HERE].

Retail sales growth is important, because approximately two-thirds of the U.S. GDP growth is driven by consumer sales.  With inflation low, retail sales high, and with a previously reported drop in U.S. imports, the ¹second quarter GDP is likely to be much stronger than anyone previously predicted.  Thus, Peter Navarro is leaning forward against the naysayers.

This is essentially a repeat of the 2017/2018 economic outcome from President Trump’s first term in office.  The tariffs, which are applied to the ‘cost’ side of the dynamic, are mostly being absorbed by major producing nations who are reliant upon export to the U.S. market.  Simultaneously, the tariffs are generating income – essentially exfiltrating foreign wealth and returning those funds to the USA; a complete reversal of the rust-belt dynamic.   WATCH:

What Peter Navarro outlines is the core of MAGAnomics.  This is also the baseline for our CTH assembly in support of economic nationalism, which is why we ended up in conflict with the Chamber of Commerce Republicans.

Tariffs are a tool to leverage reciprocal trade, and as long as nations like China continue taking measures to subsidize their exports, the tariffs simultaneously take wealth (those subsidies) from Beijing and return it to the USA.

This reality has always been the model we predicted would be successful for Americans, and I will remind everyone that ONLY DONALD TRUMP could deliver this MAGAnomic program.  Everything else, Epstein, Musk, etc. is chaff and countermeasures deployed by both Democrats and Republicans in an effort to take back control of the money flow.

Remember, Democrats want power – Republicans want money.  Democrats use money to get power, while Republicans use power to get money.  This is how the two wings of the DC UniParty vulture maintain status.

You can see that if you take away the money, Democrats lose power.  Simultaneously if you take away control of the money, the Republicans go bananas.  This dual reality forms the baseline of the elite club opposition against President Trump.

At the core of the opposition you find money, control of the USA treasury as a weapon.  When you understand that aspect, you understand the motives of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.

FED Chair Powell’s refusal to lower interest rates is an attempt to assist both wings of DC by trying -and failing- to influence the money flows.  Democrats support Powell’s approach because they want power.  Republicans are willfully blind to Powell’s approach because they want to get back in control of the money.

Pro-America economic policy, MAGAnomics, is like kryptonite to Washington DC.

¹The second quarter GDP (April, May, June) will be reported on the last Friday in July.

Mexican Illegal Alien Arrested for Claiming False Kidnapping by ICE Agents


Posted originally on CTH on July 17, 2025 | Sundance 

This story is representative of just how desperate the political left and media have become over the issue of deporting illegal aliens.

41-year-old Yuriana Julia Pelaez Calderon, of South Los Angeles, who is an illegal alien, participated in a scheme to falsify a rather elaborate story claiming to have been kidnapped by ICE agents.  The woman and a group of co-conspirators, including her lawyer, fabricated a story and held press conferences claiming she was abducted by ICE agents.  The entire story was false, and she was arrested for fabricating the scheme [DOJ Announcement Here]

DOJ – LOS ANGELES – An illegal alien from Mexico has been charged in a federal criminal complaint with orchestrating a phony kidnapping – which she blamed on federal agents or people working with federal agents – to generate public sympathy and solicit donations, the Justice Department announced today.

[…] According to an affidavit filed with the complaint filed Wednesday, an attorney representing Calderon’s family held a press conference on June 30 to announce that Calderon had reportedly been kidnapped five days earlier at a Jack in the Box restaurant parking lot in downtown Los Angeles and brought to San Ysidro, where “she was presented to [a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement] staffer” and “presented with voluntary self-deportation paperwork.” The attorney then said Calderon refused to sign the paperwork and demanded to speak to a judge and a lawyer. In response, “she was punished” and was sent to a warehouse in an undisclosed location.

The press conference garnered media attention and stoked fear in the community. Meanwhile, Calderon’s daughter set up a GoFundMe page, requesting $4,500 and stating that Calderon “was taken by masked men in an unmarked vehicle…when she was on her way to work.” According to the complaint, this entire story was fabricated.

President Trump Announces Intent to Sue Wall Street Journal and Rupert Murdoch


Posted originally on CTH on July 17, 2025 | Sundance

The Wall Street Journal has published an article [SEE HERE] essentially trying to smear President Trump by saying they have gained custody of a leather bound book, put together by Ghislaine Maxwell for Jeffrey Epstein’s 50th birthday in 2003.  The book reportedly contains a “roasting style” letter sent by Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein outlining their sexual prowess.

There are some who have speculated the recent tone and response by President Trump to those who requested release of the “Epstein files” may have been a proactive decision by Trump who knew the WSJ story was being assembled.   However, the entire thing seems so over-the-top ridiculous it’s likely fake news or manufactured foolishness; akin to the Chris Steel claims of “tapes” showing President Trump standing on a bed in Moscow peeing on prostitutes (completely untrue and stupid).

President Trump responded: “The Wall Street Journal, and Rupert Murdoch, personally, were warned directly by President Donald J. Trump that the supposed letter they printed by President Trump to Epstein was a FAKE and, if they print it, they will be sued. Mr. Murdoch stated that he would take care of it but, obviously, did not have the power to do so.

The Editor of The Wall Street Journal, Emma Tucker, was told directly by Karoline Leavitt, and by President Trump, that the letter was a FAKE, but Emma Tucker didn’t want to hear that. Instead, they are going with a false, malicious, and defamatory story anyway. President Trump will be suing The Wall Street Journal, NewsCorp, and Mr. Murdoch, shortly. The Press has to learn to be truthful, and not rely on sources that probably don’t even exist.

President Trump has already beaten George Stephanopoulos/ABC, 60 Minutes/CBS, and others, and looks forward to suing and holding accountable the once great Wall Street Journal. It has truly turned out to be a “Disgusting and Filthy Rag” and, writing defamatory lies like this, shows their desperation to remain relevant. If there were any truth at all on the Epstein Hoax, as it pertains to President Trump, this information would have been revealed by Comey, Brennan, Crooked Hillary, and other Radical Left Lunatics years ago. It certainly would not have sat in a file waiting for “TRUMP” to have won three Elections. This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS! (TS: 18 Jul 00:33 UTC)

OMB Director Russ Vought Discusses Concerns with FED Spending and Rescission Cuts Sent to Congress


Posted originally on CTH on July 17, 2025 | Sundance

Office and Management of Budget Director Russ Vought discusses the ongoing concerns with FED Chairman Jerome Powell and the FED’s ridiculous cost overruns for their offices in Washington, DC.  In addition, at the 6:00 mark of the video below, Vought discusses the first $9 billion rescission package that has passed the Senate, along with more rescission cuts that are likely to be submitted to congress.

Gotta give Director Vought a lot of credit for holding the fire to federal government spending.  This is a new tone for the DC spending guards, and they are certainly on notice the Trump administration is watching.  WATCH:

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt Press Briefing – Video Replay


Posted originally on CTH on July 17, 2025 | Sundance

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt holds a press briefing from the Brady room at the White House (video below). The briefing begins with a scheduling update where it was announced POTUS would visit Scotland at the end of this month and then return to Britain in September for an official state visit.

After outlining the positive economic news of low inflation and higher wages, Leavitt then notes all the MSM economic forecasters were wrong.  There were also a record number of illegal alien encounters at the U.S. southern border, zero releases and the deportation of previously crossed illegal aliens continues.  Additionally, the $9 billion recission package to cut federal spending passed through the Senate and is now in the House.

President Trump also went through testing as a result of mild swelling in his legs. A full vascular examination was conducted and all results showed normal vascular system operation (more details to follow).   At 11:25 of the video below, Karoline Leavitt fields multiple questions on the ongoing Epstein controversy.  WATCH:

John Solomon Interviews President Donald Trump


Posted originally on CTH on July 16, 2025 | Sundance

As lead operative and narrative engineer on the ‘tick-tock’ effort, John Solomon has once again pushed his way to the front of the narrative engineering effort.  As a genuinely glowing Solomon picks up the flag of attention, many people once again start to follow the shiny thing into the dead end of DC silos.

After a few weeks of heavy firing for effect, the people around President Trump, also glowing, organize an interview.  John Solomon and Amanda Head then conduct an interview with President Trump.  {Direct Rumble Link Here}

PRESIDENT TRUMP INTERVIEW

John Solomon used to write for The Hill, until the people within the editorial team began to label all of Solomon’s reporting as “opinion” regardless of the content.  Solomon then went freelance as a journalist (backing undetermined) until eventually ending up with RealAmerica’sVoice.

Solomon’s primary source of information before and during Term-1 was Mark Meadows.  Meadows fed Solomon information from his position in the House of Representatives, then from his position in the Trump administration.

Within the information control space, when you understand how “positioning” takes place, you start to notice patterns.  Solomon fits a pattern of controlled information release and tradecraft.  Notice how Solomon steers the conversation back to the FBI over and over again.

“If the FBI choose to _______, would you support?”…  It is a repeating pattern.   Once you see it, you can never return to that moment in the pantomime when you do not see it.  Solomon consistently relies on structuring his reporting around FBI and DOJ activity.

“Yep”, “Yep”, “Yep.”  That is what you hear from a person who understands influence by stimulating the victim’s head nodding.  In professional sales it is a form of cognitive affirmation.  Listen for it, listen for “yep” and count how many times you hear it.  There are open conversations in/around my proximity where Solomon is considered a CIA asset.

Keep that in the back of your mind as you watch Solomon position himself to narrate what the FBI and DOJ are doing.

REPORT: Maurene Comey Fired from DOJ


Posted originally on CTH on July 16, 2025 | Sundance 

Perhaps the top tiers of the DOJ are hearing the outrage.  Perhaps this is a ‘tamp down’ effort?

Regardless, of structural underpinning, the removal of a demonstrably, perhaps purposefully ineffective attorney from the Southern District of New York, who happens to be the daughter of one of the most political FBI Directors in history, was something very much needed.

According to Politico, Maurene Comey has been fired from the DOJ office.

NEW YORK – Maurene Comey, who prosecuted Jeffrey Epstein and is former FBI Director James Comey’s daughter, was fired Wednesday from her job in the Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office, according to two people familiar with the matter who were granted anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

The reason for her firing was not immediately clear. She did not immediately respond to phone calls and an email seeking comment. Spokespeople for the Justice Department and the U.S. attorney’s office declined to comment.

Comey, who had worked in the U.S. attorney’s office for nearly a decade, prosecuted both Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. (read more)

The timing of her removal does not seem coincidental.

Suddenly, For Some Mysterious Reason, Canada Wants to Put Limits on Chinese Steel Imports


Posted originally on CTH on July 16, 2025 | Sundance 

Well, what do you know?   An interesting article about Canada suddenly proposing to put limits on the amount of Chinese steel and aluminum they import.  Although missing in the article is a reference to what this means about the prior process that did not have such limits.

Essentially, if you drop the pretending within the Wall Street Journal/MSM narrative, the decision by Mark Carney to limit Chinese Steel is a direct admission of their knowledge to a preexisting level of imports that violated the USMCA and all previous demands to block imports of Chinese steel.

Trump always said Canada was a transnational shipper and entry into the USA.  Trudeau and Carney previously denied this was the reality.  Well, if that wasn’t the reality, then why the need to change? I digress.

OTTAWA—Canada introduced limits on how much foreign steel produced in countries other than the U.S. and Mexico can be imported, as the Liberal government tries to help a domestic sector reeling from President Trump’s 50% tariffs on Canadian steel.

Prime Minister Mark Carney said Wednesday that the series of import limits and the tariffs targeting steel products with Chinese links are required because the Canadian economy has been too reliant on foreign steel to meet the needs of the construction and manufacturing sectors. He cited data indicating that two-thirds of total steel consumption in Canada comes from abroad, compared with one-third for the U.S. and one-sixth in Europe.

Carney added that the changes would also guard against foreign steel entering Canada to bypass Trump’s tariffs. Canada has had a “disproportionately open import market” when it comes to steel, Carney said at a steel factory in Hamilton, Ontario.

He added that he wouldn’t allow the current trade conflict with the U.S.—combined with unfair trade practices elsewhere—to gut the nation’s steel industry at a time when Ottawa will require the metal to embark on trade-infrastructure projects such as ports, energy corridors and pipelines.

“We must diversify our trade relationships, and above all we must rely more on Canadian steel for Canadian projects. Those shifts start today,” he said. (read more)

We have awesome Canadian Treepers; however, I would like to ask the Canadians who are stuck in denial of the steel transnational shipping issue, why Canada needed to change?

President Trump Blasts Supporters Who Continue Focusing on Epstein Story


Posted originally on CTH on July 16, 2025 | Sundance

President Trump sent out a very strong message on Truth Social today. “[M]y PAST supporters have bought into this “bullshit,” hook, line, and sinker,” Trump said. Adding, “I don’t want their support anymore!”

President Trump was then asked why he thought his supporters were so focused on the Jeffrey Epstein saga during an impromptu press conference. Response Below:

Obviously President Trump wants his supporters to drop talking about this story, and I must admit I was wrong. I earnestly believed someone close to President Trump would explain why his support base was/is focused on the Epstein scandal as representative of government control of information.

While the “Epstein stuff” in general has never been a subject of great interest here, I simply cannot explain this level of disconnect toward those to whom the story is important.  This is new because President Trump has always reflected his understanding of his hardcore base of support, even when the details were difficult to understand.

PRESIDENT TRUMP – “The Radical Left Democrats have hit pay dirt, again! Just like with the FAKE and fully discredited Steele Dossier, the lying 51 “Intelligence” Agents, the Laptop from Hell, which the Dems swore had come from Russia (No, it came from Hunter Biden’s bathroom!), and even the Russia, Russia, Russia Scam itself, a totally fake and made up story used in order to hide Crooked Hillary Clinton’s big loss in the 2016 Presidential Election, these Scams and Hoaxes are all the Democrats are good at – It’s all they have – They are no good at governing, no good at policy, and no good at picking winning candidates.

Also, unlike Republicans, they stick together like glue. Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this “bullshit,” hook, line, and sinker. They haven’t learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years.

I have had more success in 6 months than perhaps any President in our Country’s history, and all these people want to talk about, with strong prodding by the Fake News and the success starved Dems, is the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax. Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work, don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support anymore!

Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” (TS: 16 Jul 13:43 UTC)

I have never seen an issue divide the support base of President Trump like the DOJ/FBI response to the “Epstein file” inquiries.   This is very unfortunate and completely avoidable.
