Interesting Names Being Floated for Permanent DNI Role

Posted originally on CTH on June 10, 2026 | Sundance

According to The Gateway Pundit there are five names being debated for permanent DNI {SEE HERE}.

Qualifying any comment by saying this is entirely speculation, a few have asked me for opinion.

Gateway Pundit posits the names: GOP Representative Elise Stefanik, GOP Representative Rick Crawford, current Deputy Director of the CIA Michael Ellis, Vice President JD Vance’s national security adviser Cliff Sims, and former GOP Rep Jason Chaffetz.

Names not mentioned in that article include former HPSCI Chairman Devin Nunes or former Representative now U.S. Attorney for North Carolina Dan Bishop.

Without being fully transparent about how I am reaching my perspective, here’s my take on these names.

I have not seen Michael Ellis in this discussion before. However, he would be a very solid consideration. Ellis is a very straight, non-pretending, deliberate and serious person. With a firm grasp on the problem, Ellis would be a solid option.

Current HPSCI Chairman Rick Crawford would also be a solid consideration. As current HPSCI Chairman Crawford has worked with Tulsi Gabbard, and he does have a very firm grasp on the nuances and issues within the current intelligence community.

Dan Bishop’s name has not been mentioned by many, but he would also be an asset in the role. At least he should be interviewed to see if he thoroughly understands the problem and would be willing to confront it.

Stefanik might want the job and might be the favorite of White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, but I’m not sure Stefanik is strong enough to stand up to the pressure within the overall intelligence apparatus. There’s a general pretending that often comes from DC familiarity as well as willingness to go along with norms and status quo. Stefanik is not a disruptor.

It doesn’t seem like Devin Nunes wants the job, for all of the reasons why a tenured IC person wouldn’t want the job. Jason Chaffetz would be worthless, as he was when Chairman of the House Oversight Committee. I don’t know enough about Cliff Simms to give an opinion.

Ranked: Ellis, Crawford, Bishop.

Concerning: Stefanik, Chaffetz.

Best Route: Give strong weight to Tulsi Gabbard’s recommendation.

President Trump Delivers Shocking Response to Question About USMCA Renewal

Posted originally on CTH on June 10, 2026 | Sundance

It is not shocking to us. It is not shocking to anyone who has followed this story for the past few years. It is particularly not shocking to you. However, the Canadians are going bananas right now.

President Donald Trump responded to a question about the current status of the USMCA trade agreement, or what Canada calls CUSMA. Watch and listen to how President Trump points out that he has no intention of renewing the USMCA.

This has been obvious since May of 2025 {GO DEEP}.

I don’t want to say ‘I toldya so’, but…. Video prompted to 37:55:

President Trump Navigates Speaker Mike Johnson on FISA Reauthorization

Posted originally on CTH on June 10, 2026 | Sundance

In the bigger picture, it is very likely that congress will reauthorize FISA (702) surveillance because not doing so is against their interests. That reality creates an unusual dynamic where President Trump can leverage the inevitable outcome for his own political benefit.

PRESIDENT TRUMP – “Just like they did on Border Funding, the Radical Left Dumocrats are trying to take our National Security hostage because of unrelated issues. They should stop playing politics with the safety of our Great Country.

I have named William Pulte to be Acting Director of National Intelligence, who will take over on June 19th, and have asked him to execute the immediate and needed downsizing of the office, reverting staff to their home agencies. At the same time, I am looking for a permanent ODNI Nominee with experience in National Security.

FISA 702 is very important to our Military, and keeping the American People safe, especially during the World Cup and America250 Celebrations. If nothing is done, this important Law will expire this week. I am asking Congress to send me a short-term extension of FISA to provide time for the selection and confirmation of a permanent Head of the Agency. I would like to thank Director Pulte for his time and commitment.” ~ President DONALD J. TRUMP

The Legislative Branch is opposing FISA (702) renewal by using opposition as a narrative to enhance their “orange man bad” credentials. Their opposition is fake. In non-pretending reality we understand the Legislative Branch both wants and controls the dynamics around FISA (702).

The CIA drug trafficking disruptions come as a result of intercepted telecommunication between foreign narco traffickers and those in the U.S. on the receiving side.

With evidence provided, a standard U.S. federal court can issue a warrant against the American side of the communication network if the evidence supports it.

FISA is not needed for the foreign intercept, and FISA is not needed to obtain a warrant. False baseline.

President Trump Signs the Secure America Act

Posted originally on CTH on June 10, 2026 | Sundance

Earlier today, President Donald Trump signed the Secure America Act in the Oval Office. The bill provides $70 billion for immigration enforcement, including $38 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, $26 billion for the Border Patrol, and $5 billion to cover unforeseen costs. WATCH:

The appearance of Senator Rand Paul and House Speaker Mike Johnson together is rather interesting, considering the current internal dynamics behind the FISA (702) issue that puts them on opposite sides – with President Trump in the curious middle.

The Irish, Scots and English are at The End of the “first follower” phase in Cultural Survival

Posted originally on CTH on June 10, 2026 | Sundance

When the systems of a ‘law and order’ society find no intention, benefit or reasonable expectation of safety from their established construct of government -generally driven by an intentional willingness to ignore the demands of the citizens those officials are expected to represent- eventually people take matters into their own hands.

It is fair to call this the end of the “first follower” phase.

It began when a singular voice stood boldly in righteous opposition to the violence. This person was watched by many.

Then, when that person, the original opponent to the violence is met with brutal isolation and retaliation, a first follower surfaces.

The first follower is the individual who stands up in anger against the retaliation they have witnessed against the singular voice.

This is the key moment when you can guarantee something is about to change.

The crowd watches the first follower, only at this very consequential inflection point -having watched the previous retaliation- the crowd are now invested emotionally in the outcome of what happens to the ‘first follower.’

The crowd will not accept the same outcome for the first follower. They are in a different mindset, a different frame of mind. Perspectives are completely different in this phase.

Events in Europe are at the extreme side of the first follower phase. However, events in the United States are not far behind. In fact, the reason we are watching events in Europe with such deliberate attention is entirely because our proximity to the violence at hand is not determined by miles; rather, it is determined by mindset.

WARNING of the “do not look away” image below.

Stephen Ogilvie, who is in his 40s, lost his left eye when he was attacked on a residential street at around 10.30pm on Monday.

When law & order officials fail, when the extreme threat is created by government and THEIR THREAT is allowed to exist in such a manner that it sits on your doorstep, history tells us the righteous will eventually rise up to take back control.

That moment is when the first follower stage ends and there is no containment method for what happens next.

(Via Daily Mail) – […] Sir Keir Starmer said rioters would ‘feel the full force of the law’.

He added: ‘The scenes in Belfast last night were shocking and completely unacceptable.

‘There is no justification for the violence and disorder that we saw threatening our communities, nor for those who encouraged it, online or elsewhere. It is clear that people were targeted last night because of their background and I will not tolerate it.

‘Those responsible will feel the full force of the law. I’ve spoken to the Chief Constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland to convey my thanks to them and the frontline emergency services for their bravery in keeping people safe.

‘I’ve also spoken to the First Minister and Deputy First Minister to discuss the ongoing situation. Appealing for calm must be the priority, and that is what I urge now. We must let the police get on with their work.’

Anti-immigrant protests also took place in several other cities around the UK on Tuesday night, including London, Glasgow, and Southampton. (read more)

The Irish know how to do violence very well.

The Northern Irish, the Scots and the English know how to do violence against the British even better.

If the government sponsored chaotic migration unites the Irish, Scottish and English people, the British government has a big problem. Much bigger than Prime Minister Keir Starmer will publicly admit.

Try squeezing jello in your fist and watch what happens.

Great Britain is at the end of the first follower phase.
