Vice President JD Vance Gives Update on U.S-Iran Ceasefire Discussion


Posted originally on CTH on June 22, 2026 | Sundance

Vice President JD Vance delivers an update today (Mon) from Switzerland, following ceasefire negotiations with Iran aimed at fully reopening the Strait of Hormuz and reducing fighting between Israel and the Iranian-backed militia group Hezbollah in Lebanon.

The talks, mediated by Qatar and Pakistan, began Sunday and stretched into the early hours of Monday. While the high-level discussions have concluded, technical negotiations are expected to continue in Switzerland this week. Vance said the talks did not produce a final peace agreement but did establish diplomatic, deconfliction, security and nuclear-monitoring frameworks needed to pursue a broader and more permanent regional settlement.  WATCH:

Questions from the media begin at 3:20 of the video below.

L.A School Superintendent Alberto Carvalho Resigns During Ongoing FBI Investigation


Posted originally on CTH on June 22, 2026 | Sundance

If you were with CTH when I did the deep dive into the Miami-Dade School Police Department and Miami-Dade School Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, all of it related to the Travyon Martin case. You will likely remember how corrupt and sketchy Carvalho was. {SEARCH TOOL}

Carvalho organized a system within Miami-Dade, where black male students could avoid criminal charges, including felony cases, and have their behavior instead handled with school discipline.

The approach was part of the Obama inspired “My Brother’s Keeper” concept.  Miami-Dade School Police (MDSPD) were instructed not to arrest black male students and instead refer their conduct to school administration.  Trayvon Martin was one of the beneficiaries {GO DEEP}.

Trayvon had burglarized a residence near the High School.  He was serving a two-week suspension from school, sent to his father Tracy Martin in the Orlando area, and it was during that two-week suspension when George Zimmerman spotted Trayvon looking in the patio doors and windows of residences in his condominium complex.  The rest is history.

School Superintendent Alberto Carvalho was/is a very well connected political figure among Democrats.  He was even considered for a VP nomination.  However, it was Carvalho’s program to use the school police to inflate statistical improvements in schools that eventually led to neighboring Broward County doing the same thing in 2013. That “Promise Program” duplication led to the Parkland High School shooting.

Carvalho went to New York City under Mayor Bill de Blasio, and then out to Los Angeles.  In February of this year, reports surfaced of Carvalho being under an FBI investigation for misuse of office, financial crimes, wire fraud and embezzlement. Yesterday Carvalho announced his resignation.

Los Angeles – […] District officials confirmed that Carvalho sent a letter of resignation, effective immediately, to the school board. Carvalho, who had led the nation’s second largest school district since 2022, had been placed on leave by the board a few days following the raids. In the letter, Carvalho did not explicitly mention the investigation, but said that he was resigning because he believes schools “must remain focused on students and learning without distraction.”

[…] Federal officials have not publicly revealed the reason for searching Carvalho’s San Pedro home and office in LAUSD’s downtown headquarters in February, and a judge sealed court filings about the investigation.

The criminal probe appears to be connected to AllHere, a now-defunct tech startup that did business with LAUSD. FBI agents in Florida also searched a property in Southwest Ranches, a community in Broward County, which according to public records belongs to Debra Kerr, an education consultant who worked with AllHere and claimed the company owed her $630,000. Carvalho and Kerr have known each other for years through Kerr’s consulting work.

The resignation marks an unceremonious end to Carvalho’s tenure. The 61-year-old, who received a four-year contract extension last year, had been praised just months earlier by Gov. Gavin Newsom during the State of the State address for the district’s test score improvements.  (read more)

As Expected U.K Prime Minister Keir Starmer Officially Resigns – Labour Party Lining Up Behind Andy Burnham


Posted originally on CTH on June 22, 2026 | Sundance 

At 9:30am London time, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer made it official, he resigned. {Politico – Details}

“The question being asked now is not who was best placed to change the Labour Party, to take us into power and to begin the vital work of improving lives for millions of people. Those questions have been answered. The question my party is asking now is whether I am best placed to lead us into the next general election. I have heard the answer of my parliamentary party to that question, and I accept that answer with good grace.”

Starmer says he will remain caretaker prime minister until his Labour Party chooses a new leader — with expectations growing that it will be former Greater Manchester Mayor and newest Member of Parliament, Andy Burnham.

(Via Daily Mail) […] An EU-UK summit on July 22 has been postponed after Sir Keir’s announcement of his resignation, despite the date only having been confirmed last week. A Government spokesperson said it would now be held ‘at the earliest opportunity’;

A YouGov poll has found that the public thought Sir Keir was right to resign by a margin of 62 per cent to 19 per cent, with another 19 per cent undecided;

Sir Keir’s allies have refused to rule out him quitting as an MP, raising the prospect of a tricky by-election fight in his constituency with the Greens;

Labour MPs and Nigel Farage have been calling for a general election to be held after the change in PM;

Sir Keir’s successor will be Britain’s seventh premier in a decade. (more)

There it is – Gallego Targeting Acquired


Posted originally on CTH on June 21, 2026 | Sundance 

Most of MAGA will miss this one.

“There are trillions at stake.”

Three months ago, a certain Democrat Senator from Arizona wrote a letter to President Donald Trump and USTR Jamieson Greer asking them to either radically modify or dissolve the USMCA trade agreement {LETTER HERE}.

I said at the time (March 2026), he was putting a target directly on his back – that a certain ‘seven ways from Sunday group’ would now acquire. Well, look at what happens:

[STORY HERE]

Whenever a Democrat is targeted by democrat IC operations, there’s always something else behind the effort.

Last point, within the article pay close attention to this part:

[…] Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) told CBS News in April that she had asked Senate leadership to investigate Gallego about allegations of misconduct that are “sexual in nature,” as well as “issues of campaign finance violations” but did not release details. {link}

Keep an eye on this ‘republican’.  She glows!

Zelenskyy Demands President Trump Authorize Licenses for Ukraine to Begin Development of U.S. Patriot Missiles in Ukraine


Posted originally on CTH on June 21, 2026 | Sundance 

This is the third step in what I believe is a transparent operation conducted by Ukraine and the U.K (NATO group).

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is now demanding the U.S. give license approval to military contractors in order to build U.S. Patriot Missile systems in Ukraine and throughout Europe.

I am almost certain this was the intent of the previous operation carried out by Ukraine upon their own religious and cultural centers in Kiev.  It fits a long-established pattern of operation which we have watched unfold in real time over the past few years.  Again, for emphasis, I cannot prove this – but deeply suspect it is accurate.

Breaking down what Zelenskyy outlines below. This is what it looked like in real time as the events described below unfolded.

(1) Following the pattern of visible and political diminishment of Christianity within Ukraine, the Nazi side of Ukraine carried out a false flag attack on their own cathedral and cultural sites as the set up to their plan. This was staged and timed to happen just before the G7 assembly in France.

(2) Using #1 as the pretense and justification, Ukraine then pulled the trigger on 600 simultaneous drones targeting Moscow in Russia – the drones were pre-staged and set to attack during the G7. This was planned prior to the events in France.

(3) Using #1 and #2 as the central backdrop, internal G7 pressure was then directed toward the U.S. delegation, while holding home turf on the ground of the ‘coalition of the willing.’ Zelenskyy, Starmer and Macron had this set up in advance.

That’s the outlook when you drop the pretenses. That’s the nature of this Ukraine. That’s also why we continue to call this operation World War Reddit! Here’s Zelenskyy’s demand:

Volodymyr Zelenskyy – “During the summit, all members of the G7 were aware of our operation in the Moscow region, had already seen the results, and supported Ukraine’s entirely just and appropriate responses. In my view, this was the first time the G7 had unanimously supported Ukraine and said that we needed to return to a stronger sanctions policy against Russia.

This came after the massive attack on Kyiv, during which it was not only our Christian holy site that was damaged. I showed them photographs of the Lavra and other sites. Everyone saw the Dormition Cathedral burning. They knew about the casualties.

After the G7 meeting, the U.S. President, Secretary Rubio, and I stayed to discuss all the additional issues. Many things, from reimposing sanctions to licenses for air defense production. This time, it became quite public that the U.S. team had responded positively to the issue of licenses for the first time.

Everyone agrees that we now have all the technical capabilities needed to begin producing missiles for Patriot systems. This requires licenses from the United States. What is needed now is President Trump’s personal approval. President Trump plans to ask U.S. defense companies to establish licensed production of air defense missiles in Europe and Ukraine.” (SOURCE Via X)

Keep in mind, all of the NATO ‘coalition of the willing’ met in London approximately 2 weeks before the G7 assembly.  Starmer, Merz, Macron and Zelenskyy all met in London.

During that trip Zelenskyy met with King Charles (pictured below) who pledged his support toward the renewed efforts to be highlighted from the meeting at #10 Downing Street.

Overlay the state of the political situation in Great Britain, France, Germany and Europe overall.  Then consider the visible weakness within the NATO alliance exactly at the moment when Trump is openly positioning a U.S. exit from the self-centered North American alliance.

Europe needs a crisis in order to recover from their current economic collapse.  Brussels and London need a war against Russia.

You cannot convince me the timing of the events described above is coincidental.

I do not support the geopolitical end game of Russia; however, I also find it impossible to dispute Putin’s description of the Zelenskyy regime in Ukraine as “Nazis.”  These people have some twisted control mechanisms in synapses wired by evil and sin.

Colombia Presidential Election Underway – Abelardo de la Espriella -VS- Ivan Cepeda


Posted originally on CTH on June 21, 2026 | Sundance 

The next nation in our hemisphere to determine the political direction appears in Colombia, where MAGA aligned Albelardo Espriella is facing socialist aligned Ivan Cepeda, the favorite of the current socialist leadership.

Espirella has surged in support as the popular candidate amid promises to deliver El Salvador like criminal confrontations, and market capitalism rejection of socialist control similar to Argentina. Earlier this week President Trump endorsed Espirella  stating on social media: “Colombian Presidential Candidate, “El Tigre (THE TIGER),” Abelardo de la Espriella, is a Smart, Strong, and Tough Leader, who fights tirelessly for, and loves, his Great Country and People, just like I do for the United States of America.”

On the leftist side of the option, Iván Cepeda has pledged to continue the current socialist administration’s economic agenda and expand negotiations with drug traffickers and armed groups who operate vast criminal enterprises.  The move to align with cartels and gangs (they call the alignment ‘negotiation’) appears to come as a strategic effort to retain power.

(Los Angeles Times) – Colombian presidential candidate Abelardo de la Espriella has vowed to crush criminal groups and slash government programs. He promises to bomb “narco-terrorist” camps and build sprawling mega prisons if he wins Sunday’s runoff election.

De la Espriella’s views have earned him the vociferous backing of President Trump, who has broken with White House tradition by publicly seeking to tip the scales in foreign elections — particularly in Latin America.

After Trump gave his “complete and total endorsement” to De la Espriella, whom he referred to by his nickname, “El Tigre,” the candidate posted an AI-generated image of a bald eagle and a tiger, with American and Colombian flags waving side by side.

“You have paved the way for the people to defeat the entrenched powers that have long held sway,” he wrote to Trump. “In Colombia, we have now begun to follow the same path.”

De la Espriella, a political newcomer who built his campaign around gym workout videos and vows to “disembowel” the left, is part of a new wave of far-right, MAGA-aligned politicians in Latin America openly borrowing from Trump’s playbook, presenting themselves as outsiders who will trim the government, curtail immigration and militarize law enforcement.

In a region that remains plagued by high crime and inequality after a decades-long period of leftist domination known as the “Pink Tide,” the playbook appears working.

More Latin Americans now identify with the right than at any time over the last two decades, according to polling firm Latinobarómetro. A series of conservatives have won presidential elections in recent years, giving Trump a slate of willing partners as he seeks to expand U.S. power in the region, combat drug cartels and counter growing Chinese influence.  (read more)

Polls in Colombia close at 4:00 p. m. (Colombia time). From that moment, the National Civil Registry begins the preliminary count, whose first bulletins are usually released within the first hour, with the virtually complete result available that same night. In the first round, the preliminary count was closed around 9:42 pm. {SOURCE}

4:00 pm in Colombia is the same time on the East Coast (EDT) and 1:00 p. m. on the West Coast (PDT). The official source is the National Civil Registry, at www.registraduria.gov.co, where the preliminary count is published in real time on election day.

Windex Was Never an Antibiotic – Happy Father’s Day


Posted originally on CTH on June 21, 2026 | Sundance 

It didn’t matter if it was a scrape or a splinter being extracted, somehow it always ended up with something akin to Windex being applied.  Later in life, the ‘suck it up‘ hardship lessons gained deeper appreciation, Fatherhood training.

Today we recognize men, Fathers who have the most consequential role.  The rock, the foundation, the cornerstone.

From the very moment of conception, a father’s active and loving presence helps to determine the child. The quality of that child’s life is then tied to a man’s fortitude, a commitment to love, nurture and develop his children.

Many of us are fortunate to have experienced loving fathers; even when we may not have defined the expression of love in the moment. Often, we do not realize the extent of a father’s love and sacrifice until we ourselves become parents.

“A good and loving father is a foundation of strength and love on which a family is established, and it supports the growth of the family, and of the people who belong to the family. As a man gives of his strength, his love, his guidance, his wisdom, he builds something special and unique, something unrivaled in the world. He creates in his children the unlimited potential to go out into the world and thrive, to change that world, hopefully for the better. And most importantly of all, he creates the opportunity for his children to be strong enough to nurture and love a family of their own.”

Today we honor the men who gave us our lives and gave us their hearts. Happy Father’s Day. May you spend the day enjoying the fruits of your labors with those you love, and those who love you best.” ~ Menagerie, ’12

Windex was never an antibiotic, and each time I see the bottle in the closet I think about what it represents in that context. Weakness is not one of the options available. ~Sundance

Happy Father’s Day!

Keir Starmer Moments Away from Resignation


Posted originally on CTH on June 21, 2026 | Sundance

Take more than a few thoughts to appreciate the moment.  The gift within modern technology is our ability to witness and absorb inflection points as they arise – in real time.

Europe has been collapsing. Slowly at first; then, suddenly all at once.  Political capital has been depreciating at an unsustainable scale.

Across Europe, President Trump has reset relationships, forcefully delivering an exacting pressure – not by forward influence, but more by creating an excruciating void they must fill themselves.

The result: weak economic growth, rising defense expenditures, a collective state assembly that can no longer deliver positive individual outcomes.

European leaders are all facing the same pressures.  Look around and witness history repeating.  The British Empire in chaos, the U.K Prime Minister on the point of resignation. The German industrial economy now feeling the full weight of its own short-sighted energy policy, while being stripped slowly by Chinese parasites.

As the body of the system begins to shrink rapidly, they look urgently toward Rome for moral support; they need to believe in their superiority. But Giorgia Meloni cannot get beyond her vanity.  President Trump exploits it. It works.

At the exact moment when nationalistic defenses are needed most, the Spanish people find themselves facing the sunlight upon corruption within their socialist body politic. The timing is almost too perfect.

A loving God then provides massive ironies for the world to witness.  The biggest cultural sporting event in the EU; the distraction beloved by all Europeans as an expression of pride from village to metropolis, takes place in the United States. The EU tech devices are filled with fellow countrymen telling grand tales of this incredible American land.

The timing is not something governmental policy could ever control.  This is not strategy.  This is much bigger than a roadmap the hand or mind of man could draw or imagine.  No, these specific moments are -like all historic reference points- being driven by the one universal enterprise who controls all of it. This is amazing to witness.

It does not stand invisible to those who watch prayerfully, to see the most Christian of the individual European states stand in the strongest position.

The dark and foreboding landscape of corrupt Ukraine has sucked the physical and financial blood out of the European collective, and even now, at this moment of greatest weakness the malevolent destroyer of flesh and spirit demands even more.

It is all connected, yet the self-appointed elites cling to diminishing influence with bread and circuses; it is all they have.

Europe is in a state of collapse. Rome is too morally and spiritually weak, fraught with the sin of pride, and into this incredible moment of consequence – where does Canada align?  You cannot make this stuff up.

The timing is too divinely inspired to ignore. Pretenses are dropping.

Absorb it all folks, we are witnessing a righteous and historical reset unfolding in real time.

VIA ASSOCIATED PRESS – […] Business Secretary Peter Kyle said Sunday that Starmer is “making time to reflect on the political realities, challenges and opportunities that he finds himself in.”

“I know he is a prime minister who always puts his country first,” Kyle told the BBC, though he said reports that Starmer will resign are “speculation.”

Starmer is spending the weekend at Chequers, the country mansion used by British prime ministers, with his family. He gave no public hint about his decision, but sent a Father’s Day message on social media. “Being a dad is my greatest joy. Today, I’m thinking about my dad, and the father I am to my children because of him,” he wrote on X.

If Starmer quits, he will be the sixth prime minister to leave office in the past 10 years, an extraordinary rate of churn for the United Kingdom. (read more)

President Trump Notes Opposition Effort to Destroy DC Reflection Pool


Posted originally on CTH on June 20, 2026 | Sundance 

Team Algae and Filth has been busy at work, supported by CNN, ABC and various leftist media, in an attempt to grow algae back in the DC reflection pool, and cut out the newly installed lining.  A few arrests have been made by DC park police.

Yes, these folks are that unstable.  Liberalism is a mental disorder.

President Trump responds to the effort via Truth Social:

“We’ve cleaned, renovated, and beautified over 45 Monuments and Memorials, 28 Statues, and 22 Fountains in Washington, D.C. Things are really looking good in our Nation’s Capital, and add to that the fact that when I became President, Crime was rampant, and now, Washington, D.C., is one of the Safest Cities anywhere in the United States. However, we’ve had some real problems with Vandalism at the beautiful Reflecting Pool, which sits between The Washington Monument and The Lincoln Memorial.

Just like three days ago, they destroyed the grass outside of the Pool, they’ve also done everything possible to hurt the inside surface that was just installed. No different than the chemicals that were used on the National Mall, they used something similar in the Reflecting Pool to try to destroy and demean our beautiful work. Lightweight ABC Reporter, Jonathan Karl, was seen sticking his hand into the Pool, and trying to rip the rubber off of the surface. The algae is 75% gone, and the condition will soon be completely remedied, and the area that was vandalized, fortunately, is just a small area of damage, and will be fixed early next week. It’s a shame that the Radical Left Lunatics, most likely Dumocats, who have spent their lives trying to ruin our Country, are free to do so. Law Enforcement is actively investigating this situation and will hopefully have it resolved soon. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Wife of Socialist Spanish Prime Minister Now Facing Corruption Charges, Influence Peddling, Embezzlement – Passport Surrendered


Posted originally on CTH on June 20, 2026 | Sundance 

A familiar pattern emerges as the wife of Socialist Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, is indicted on corruption charges and remanded to give up her passport and return to court for check-in every 15 days until trial.

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — A judge on Saturday ordered the wife of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez to face trial on charges of influence peddling and corruption, and to surrender her passport.

Investigative judge Juan Carlos Peinado issued the ruling, arguing that Begoña Gómez represented a flight risk. In addition to surrendering her passport, she must also appear before a court every two weeks. A trial date hasn’t been set.

The decision touched off a heated political confrontation, with calls from the opposition for Sanchez’s Socialist government to resign.

Gómez is accused of using her position to influence government contracts given to a group of technology companies. The judge also accused her of the misuse of public funds in the hiring of a consultant, and the inappropriate use of software while she was a professor at a public university.

Gómez has denied any wrongdoing. Sánchez has called the case against her part of a smear campaign by conservative political opponents to topple his left-wing government, which has been in power since 2018.

Peinado said that a businessman who allegedly benefited from the government contracts and the consultant that worked for Gómez will also stand trial. (read more)

It is factual that almost every socialist politician is eventually involved in influence peddling, fraud, conspiracy to commit fraud, embezzlement and corruption.
