Governor’s Race – Vivek Ramaswamy Easily Defeats Anti-Trump Casey Putsch in Ohio Republican Primary


Posted originally on CTH on May 5, 2026 | Sundance

In the Ohio Republican primary race for Governor, Vivek Ramaswamy has easily defeated Casey Putsch the anti-Trumper who burned his MAGA flag and took a position against the President.

Folks, as the data constantly confirms, social media is not real life.  The self-described MAGA republicans who now stand against President Trump are few in number.  In real life, the Make America Great Again movement is strong, smart and understands the motives of the Trojan Horse opposition.

OHIO – Vivek Ramaswamy coasted to the Republican nomination for Ohio governor on May 5, easily defeating primary rival Casey Putsch in a race that was called by NBC News and Decision Desk HQ not long after polls closed.

The 40-year-old biotech mogul, who ran for president in 2024, will face Democrat Amy Acton, a 60-year-old physician who ran unopposed, in November.

Ohio hasn’t elected a Democratic governor in roughly two decades, and Trump won it by 12 percentage points two years ago, but experts believe this could be a competitive contest given the current political environment. (read more)

FBI Director Kash Patel Outlines Secret Room in FBI Headquarters Not on Building Blueprints


Posted originally on CTH on May 5, 2026 | Sundance

My opinion on our current FBI Director is the same as it was the day his nomination was announced.  The best, the most competent, the smartest, the most insightful and stable thinking people do not originate on a track from inside government work.  The most effective way to get the best outcome is to approach and enlist the smart ones from outside government to come and assist.  Patel was always an insider.

The FBI is an institution built upon corruption and fraud.  Unfortunately, neither President Trump, nor the American people, will ever get the vindication and accountability he/we deserve until Kash Patel is no longer the one in charge of delivering it. It’s just that painfully simple.  Trying to reform a corrupt system while maintaining the structures that enabled the corruption leads to endless discussions and ‘trust me bro’ delays.

In this interview FBI Director Kash Patel sits down with Sean Hannity to discuss current and prior events within the FBI.  Patel’s primary objective is the performance; the presentation of what he thinks will endear him to President Trump the most. This is not effectiveness; the outcome is the illusion of leadership.  The video is prompted. WATCH:

Kash Patel is to the FBI as Pam Bondi was to the DOJ.

President Trump Has Resilient Patience During Lengthy Interview with Pontificating Pustule


Posted originally on CTH on May 5, 2026 | Sundance 

I find it hilarious that Club for Growth ‘CONservative’ voices who pontificated through their x-ray specs for decades about the U.S. consignment as a “service driven economy” now mount their high horse in discussion of the opposite; about which they have zero knowledge.

President Donald Trump has seemingly unending patience for these air breathing pontificators who attempt to retain their status, while no one of any intellectual honesty pays attention to the Salem Media economic gibberish. That said, on the issue of Iran, Salem (GOPe) wants more intervention, and on the issue of Ukraine Salem wants the U.S. to assist Zelenskyy more. WATCH:

Honda Cancels EV Plant in Canada – Despite Prior Deal for Billions in Subsidies


Posted originally on CTH on May 5, 2026 | Sundance 

Previously, Toyota Inc informed the Canadian trade delegation that if the USMCA (CUSMA) was dissolved, the most important auto manufacturing operation they have in the country would end.  Toyota was being respectful and brutally honest with the Canadians.

Last year, at almost the same time as Toyota made their position clear, Honda put a pause on the plan to build EVs in Ontario [2025 Notice] pending additional review.  Today, according to Nikkei, Honda has now completed that review and cancelled the plan.  Honda will not build EVs in Canada.

Asahi Kasei, the Japanese material supplier that makes battery separators, a core component used in lithium-ion batteries, will likely make a similar announcement soon.  The decision is in response to declining EV sales in combination with current U.S-Canada trade friction.  Without guaranteed access to the U.S. market, it makes no sense to invest in Canada.

Electrek – “Honda is shelving its massive C$15 billion ($11 billion) EV and battery manufacturing hub in Ontario, Canada, according to a new report from Nikkei. The move escalates what was initially framed as a temporary pause into what increasingly looks like an indefinite retreat.

[…] When Honda announced the Alliston, Ontario project in April 2024, it was billed as the company’s most ambitious EV commitment yet. The plan called for a new EV assembly plant capable of producing 240,000 vehicles per year, a 36 GWh battery factory, and cathode material processing facilities through joint ventures with POSCO Future M and Asahi Kasei. Production was targeted for 2028.

By May 2025, Honda paused the project for approximately two years, citing tariff uncertainty under the Trump administration and softening EV demand. The company said at the time it would revisit the timeline in 2027. (read more)

Unfortunately, most Canadians have no idea about the background dynamics in this ongoing U.S-Canada trade friction.   The Canadian government has strict controls in place to limit information to the Canadian people.  The issue of Honda cancelling investment then has no context for the Canadian people to understand.  Factually, it is quite sad.

Canadian Prime Minister is Playing a Very Dangerous Game


Posted originally on CTH on May 5, 2026 | Sundance

Anyone who has ever dealt with a toxic narcissist understands the psychology behind their manipulative language, words and intents.  What Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is doing here is very dangerous, particularly for the Canadian people.

After a year of increased provocative language intended to confront President Trump for U.S. nationalist policy changes on economics, trade and security, Prime Minister Carney travelled to Europe where he again delivered strong remarks saying that Europe is now the center of the “rules based international order,” the western government control mechanisms that have maintained economic and security relationships for the past one-hundred years.

Essentially, Carney, after saying the USA was no longer a reliable or obedient partner, emphasized the opposition to state nationalism must come from a collective decision to retain the old geopolitical structures.  President Trump must be opposed, and Europe -according to Carney- represents the assembly that will not permit state government nationalism (sovereignty) to replace their long-constructed globalist systems.

Today, Prime Minister Carney faced questions about those remarks. I don’t want to influence the audience, but with the context in mind, watch and listen closely to his response. [Prompted]

[NOTE: The question comes from the Toronto Star, the only ‘conservative’ media outlet permitted under the rules of the Canadian regime to ask questions.  All other outlets who might challenge the government viewpoints are strictly controlled and not permitted audience.]

Notice how Carney divides the world of opposition to President Trump, indicating the 5-Eyes nations of Canada, Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand are in opposition to Trump and in alignment with the old control mechanisms.  Adding to this grouping, Carney pulls in the entire European continent and boldly proclaims his position as lead diplomat and representative for their effort against the USA.

This is a very dangerous game that Prime Minister Carney is choosing to play here.  This is the behavior of a person who is toxically narcissistic and prepared to claim victim status as soon as his target hits back.  Carney has carefully and purposefully deceived his domestic audience, and things are about to get very ugly.

I must say something of a personal frustration….

In the bigger picture, expanding on the ancillary aspects that pertain to the geopolitical landscape that surrounds us, Carney is able to push this line this far because we have internal friction driven by people like Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens and other short-sighted “influencers, who do not recognize the scale of the moment.

President Trump is standing up to a globalist system that weakened the United States over several generations.  The same voices who understand how toxic the United Nations, NATO, USAID and other international influences are to what remains of U.S. sovereignty, are the same voices attempting to divide Trump’s base of support while our President battles multinational influence operations; all because they have the same traits as Mark Carney underpinning their psychology.

You either affix your bayonet against these forces, or in our lifetime there will be nothing left to fight over.

Supreme Court Clears Way for Louisiana Immediate Redistricting – Justice KBJ Goes Bananas


Posted originally on CTH on May 5, 2026 | Sundance

The Supreme Court ruled Monday its prior ruling on race-based congressional districts takes immediate effect. The order {SEE HERE} speeds up the normal 32-day timeline and puts the State of Louisiana on notice their current districts are not constitutional.

Effectively the Louisiana Governor and legislature have delayed the election to address the districts.  However, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was not happy with the immediacy ruling and wrote a dissent that was so ridiculous none of the other minority justices would sign on to it. Jackson said the majority “unshackles itself” from “constraints.” The court should follow the default rule, she insisted.

As noted by PoliticoJustice Samuel Alito responded to Jackson’s accusation of political bias in a concurring opinion supported by Justices Clarence Thomas and Niel Gorsuch. Alito wrote that by suggesting that “running out the clock” by following the court’s default procedures may indicate bias “on behalf of those who may find it politically advantageous to have the election occur under the unconstitutional map.

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry has delayed the primary so state Republicans could get to work on a new map.

DOJ and Dept of Agriculture Announce Antitrust Investigations on Meat Price Fixing and Protein Price Controls


Posted originally on CTH on May 4, 2026 | Sundance 

Earlier today, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins, and Director of Trade and Manufacturing Peter Navarro held a press conference on antitrust investigations and meatpacking operations.

AAG Todd Blanche noted the DOJ is seeking information from whistleblowers inside the meat industry as they investigate price controls and price fixing from multinational agriculture conglomerates.

WASHINGTON – The Justice Department confirmed its active investigation of potential antitrust violations in U.S. cattle and beef markets, reviewing more than 3 million documents and interviewing industry participants as federal officials scrutinize whether highly concentrated meatpacking power has contributed to high beef prices.

The four largest beef processors control more than 85% of the U.S. processing market — half of which are Brazilian-owned — Trump administration officials noted at a Monday news conference, where acting Attorney General Todd Blanche urged whistleblowers to capitalize on turning in bad actors who are contributing to jacking up meat prices on Americans.

“If the information you provide helps us secure a criminal penalty in excess of $1 million, you can be entitled to recover and receive 15-30% of the money that we recover,” Blanche said, describing the DOJ fraud whistleblower rewards program. He urged ranchers, purchasers, processors and others to report possible price-fixing, bid-rigging, market allocation or procurement fraud.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins tied the probe to broader concerns about food security and shrinking domestic cattle supplies, saying the U.S. had about 86.2 million head of cattle and calves as of Jan. 1 — “the lowest since the 1950s.” (read more)

Democrat and global leftists spent decade shouting about cows and cattle as a major source of global warming via flatulence.  Being anti-cows, anti-milk, anti-beef, and anti-ranching became a major focus of the global ‘Build Back Better’ net-zero emission agenda.

Cattle ranching and dairy farming were viewed as easy targets for investment controls, while Bill Gates and the climate groups promoted nut milks, soy milks, milk alternatives, bugs, crickets and fake meat.  This activity is part of the current consequences.
