No Endorsement from Trump in Cornyn -vs- Paxton Runoff


Posted originally on CTH on March 28, 2026 | Sundance

According to Politico, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was spotted in Mar-a-Lago last Friday talking face-to-face with President Trump.

With the base and President Trump still leveraging everything possible for the SAVE America Act, President Trump seems unlikely to endorse John Cornyn or Ken Paxton until the dust on that issue settles.

The only way Senator John Cornyn can survive the primary challenge from Paxton is if President Trump endorses the incumbent.  If President Trump stays out of the race, Ken Paxton looks likely to achieve victory.  Surprisingly, the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSCC) has not spent more money on Cornyn, another good sign.

(VIA POLITICO) – […] Paxton, though, hasn’t rested his case. He traveled to Mar-a-Lago last Friday for a Palm Beach County GOP dinner, and was spotted speaking to Trump himself, according to three sources familiar.

Trump and Paxton were on the patio, one source added, with another saying the two discussed the runoff. “It was a positive meeting,” said yet another person. A Paxton spokesperson declined to comment on the meeting.

It’s the latest sign of a fierce and feverish effort to keep Trump from endorsing Cornyn.

Even when all signs pointed to a Cornyn endorsement following the longtime senator’s showing in the primary, MAGA faithful kept pressing for Paxton. Now they’re optimistic their guy can come out on top — and they’re still taking shots at Cornyn every chance they get.

“The Cornyn endorsement looks dead, but it’s Trump, so it’s never certain,” a person close to the White House said. (read more)

U.S. senators (mostly) write foreign aid policy, rules and regulations thereby creating the financing mechanisms to transmit U.S. funds.  They are guided by K-Street lawyers who represent various interests.

Those same senators then receive a portion of the laundered funds back through their various “institutes” and business connections to the foreign government offices. Everyone in DC knows the gig.

Example: Ukraine laundry to Biden, Haiti laundry to Clinton, Iran laundry to Obama.

The U.S. State Dept. served as a distribution network for the authorization of the money laundering by granting DC conflict waivers, approvals for financing (McCain Institute, Clinton Global Initiative etc), and permission slips for the payment of foreign money.

The officials within the State Dept. take a cut of the overall payments through a system of “indulgence fees”, commissions, junkets, gifts and expense account payments to those with political oversight.

If anyone gets too close to revealing the process they become a target of the apparatus.

President Trump was considered a threat to this process.

In reality all of the U.S. Senators (both parties) on the Foreign Relations Committee understand what is going on and/or are participating in a process for receiving taxpayer money and contributions from foreign governments. [See Bob Menendez]

A “Codel” is a congressional delegation that takes trips to work out the payments terms/conditions of any changes in graft financing.

On the right the McCain Institute was/is one of the obvious examples of the financing network. [That is the primary reason why Cindy McCain was such an outspoken critic of President Trump.] On the left you see the Clinton Global Initiative, same/same.

This is why Senators spend $20 million on a campaign to earn a job paying $350k/year.

The “institutes” is where the real foreign money comes in; billions paid by governments like China, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Ukraine, etc. etc. There are trillions at stake.

The current nation of focus is the Ukraine laundry operation. The U.S. intelligence services, including CIA operations in USAID, have historically been the bagmen. That’s also why they consider Gabbard a threat.

JD Vance Launches Fraud Taskforce


Posted originally on CTH on March 27, 2026 | Sundance

Vice President JD Vance launches the Trump administration fraud taskforce effort.

In addition to Vice President Vance, the roundtable kickoff includes:  White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson, U.S. Asst. Attorney General for Fraud Colin McDonald, HHS Secretary RFK Jr., DHS Secretary Mark Wayne Mullin, SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler, Education Secretary Linda McMahon, Veterans Administration Secretary Doug Collins, HUD Secretary Scott Turner, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, OMB Director Russ Vought, CMS’ Deputy Administrator Kim Brandt and Dept of Labor IG Anthony D’Esposito.  WATCH:

According to an internal memo reviewed by The Daily Wire, the task force begins by telling all the various government agencies involved in the process: “We cannot litigate ourselves out of the fraud problem,” the memo states. “Research findings show over 1,000,000 suspicious Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans and more than 2,000 suspicious durable medical equipment (DME) companies. The federal government simply does not have the resources necessary to recover all of the money lost to fraud once it has been paid out. Many fraudsters are judgment proof and therefore could not pay back the money they stole even after a successful prosecution.”

The memo identifies a handful of “high-spend, low-verification” programs that will be targeted: Medicare and Medicaid ($2 trillion a year in spending), Department of Labor’s Unemployment Insurance ($43.5 billion a year), Department of Agriculture’s SNAP program ($101 billion a year), Health and Human Services’ Temporary Assistance for Needy Families ($16 billion a year), Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Rental Assistance / Public Housing ($64 billion a year), and the Small Business Administration loans and assistance ($104 billion a year).

Susan Kokinda Outlines the Shift in Strategic Alliances


Posted originally on CTH on March 25, 2026 | Sundance 

The rebranded Lyndon LaRouche PAC has another good outline on the new strategic alliances assembled by President Trump as the ongoing conflict with Iran continues.

Susan Kokinda reviews how the United Kingdom and Europe have been sidelined as President Trump directly negotiates with key stakeholders in the middle east and Asia.  Kokinda correctly notes the messaging from Russia indicates a strategic awareness that old systems are fracturing and the potential for new strategic alliances is rising.

“Susan Kokinda argues President Trump has opened a new diplomatic space to de-escalate the Iran conflict by working through a regional roster—Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, Pakistan, Gulf States, and back channels into Iran—while the U.K., EU, and NATO are absent and increasingly irrelevant. Citing reporting that ministers met in Riyadh and that Egypt, Turkey, and Oman carried messages, she says this “Board of Peace” architecture is isolating Iran and weakening its proxies, pointing to Lebanon’s move against Hezbollah, the Palestinian Authority’s condemnation of Iran, and Hamas considering disarmament. Kokinda links Europe’s exclusion to self-inflicted energy weakness from Green and anti-Russia policies, noting rushed LNG moves and a delayed Russian oil ban vote. She concludes Ukraine’s outlook darkens as Europe and Britain lack leverage, highlighting Zelenskyy’s scramble for support in London and Washington.” WATCH:

President Trump Summit with Chairman Xi Now Scheduled for May 14th and 15th


Posted originally on CTH on March 25, 2026 | Sundance

This is good news from the standpoint of us wanting to see President Trump continue to make MAGAnomic progress on trade as well as geopolitical alliances.

It will be a very interesting summit against the backdrop of Venezuela, Iran, oil/gas energy shifts, the previous Alaska summit with Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin, the renegotiation of the USMCA and the Chinese auto deal in Canada…

There are a lot of important topics within a Trump-Xi summit.

PRESIDENT TRUMP – “My meeting with the Highly Respected President of China, President Xi Jinping, which was originally postponed due to our Military operation in Iran, has been rescheduled, and will take place in Beijing on May 14th and 15th.”

“First Lady Melania and I will also host President Xi and Madame Peng for a reciprocal visit in Washington, D.C., at a later date, this year. Our Representatives are finalizing preparations for these Historic Visits. I look very much forward to spending time with President Xi in what will be, I am sure, a Monumental Event. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”  ~ President DONALD J. TRUMP

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen Resigns Following Massive Election Losses in Left-Wing Coalition


Posted originally on CTH on March 25, 2026 | Sundance 

The Trump curse is real.

With what she perceived as strong domestic support following her confrontation with President Trump, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen decided to trigger an early election.  Frederiksen thought the timing was perfect; however, it backfired.

Mette Frederiksen’s political party suffered the biggest ruling party election defeat in 120+ years, and her coalition of left-wing parties now lost their majority.

As a result of the election, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has resigned.

COPENHAGEN, March 25 (Reuters) – Danish Prime Minister ​Mette Frederiksen on ‌Wednesday submitted her government’s ​resignation to ​the king after her ⁠three-party coalition ​suffered a large ​defeat in a general election, the royal ​palace said ​in a statement.

Parties are ‌set ⁠to launch potentially tough and long negotiations ​to ​determine ⁠whether the next ​government will ​be ⁠formed by Frederiksen or another ⁠party ​leader. (link)

Via Washington Examiner – “[…] The Social Democrats’ left-wing bloc walked away as the ostensible winners of the Tuesday general election with 84 seats in the nation’s 179-seat parliament. But it was far from a majority, with their rival right-wing bloc securing 77 seats and the centrist Moderate Party walking away with 14.

[…] The Social Democrats remain the single largest party in the legislature with 38 seats and 21.9% of the vote, but it’s a hollow victory for the long-dominating juggernaut of Danish politics. The last time the Social Democrats did worse was in 1903 with 20.4%.

The Royal Palace confirmed on Wednesday that Frederiksen resigned and advised the sovereign to hold meetings with the leaders of the nation’s 12 major political parties — standard procedure after an election shifts the balance of power in the parliament. (read more)

The European Union didn’t think they needed to provide any support to their socialist candidate Mette Frederiksen; they were certain all the Danes would rally in support.  Major facepalm.

Domestic issues dominated the electorate, including immigration, the cost of living, welfare, energy policy and agriculture.

President Trump Supports an 18-Month FISA(702) Reauthorization


Posted originally on CTH on March 25, 2026 | Sundance

With a heavy sigh and a great deal of resignation, while understanding how the prior open border issue compounded things, CTH had already mentally accepted that FISA (702) reauthorization was going to happen.

I don’t like it at all, but I understand it.

That said, I would prefer to see the FISA (702) reauthorization leveraged toward passage of the SAVE America Act, at least that way we get something out of it.

PRESIDENT TRUMP – “Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune have been working to pass a clean extension of FISA Section 702, a Law that was passed many years ago by Congress to collect Intelligence on Foreigners and Noncitizens.

When used properly, FISA is an effective tool to keep Americans safe. For these reasons, I have called for a clean 18-month extension, HOWEVER, the Critical and Common-Sense Reforms that were made in the last Reauthorization of FISA must remain intact to protect the American People from abuses.

Nobody understands this better than me, as I was a victim of the worst and most illegal abuse of FISA in our Nation’s History, by Radical Left Lunatics who lied to the FISA Court to spy on my 2016 Presidential Campaign in their attempt to RIG the Election in favor of Crooked Hillary Clinton.

That is why, since the first day of my already Historic Second Term, my Administration has worked tirelessly to ensure these Reforms are being aggressively executed at every level of the Executive Branch to keep Americans safe, while protecting their sacred Civil Liberties guaranteed by our Great Constitution.

With the ongoing successful Military activities against the Terrorist Iranian Regime, it is more important than ever that we remain vigilant, PROTECT our Homeland, Troops, and Diplomats stationed abroad, and maintain our ability to quickly stop bad actors seeking to cause harm to our People and our Country.

The fact is, whether you like FISA or not, it is extremely important to our Military. I have spoken to many Generals about this, and they consider it vital. Not one said, even tacitly, that they can do without it — especially right now with our brilliant Military Operation in Iran. Thank you for your attention to this very important matter!

~ President DONALD J. TRUMP

CTH is relatively sure the military component surrounding FISA-702 relates to the advanced AI system target tracking that is currently active as part of the Palantir surveillance software suite.

Let’s get all of these illegal aliens the heck out of our country, and then maybe we can have a discussion about returning to a more constitutional approach that doesn’t include the ability of government to interface with privately created electronic metadata.

Hey, a guy can hope, no?

Ouch, I Haz FISA Accept…

President Trump Notes Iranian Leadership Currently in Negotiations Sent Something of “Great Value” to Verify Their Control of Government


Posted originally on CTH on March 24, 2026 | Sundance 

Obviously, one of the challenges faced by President Trump following the elimination of all senior Iran political leadership, is to know who is left in power that has the ability to negotiate terms between Iran and the U.S.

During the Q&A media segment of Mark Wayne Mullin’s swearing in ceremony, President Trump was asked how he can trust the Iranian leadership he is currently communicating with.  President Trump responded that he doesn’t trust anyone; however, the voices in Iran currently negotiating with the U.S. team sent something of great value to the White House to verify their Bonafide’s.  It is an interesting segment.  WATCH (prompted):

President Trump Not Attending CPAC 2026


Posted originally on CTH on March 24, 2026 | Sundance

CPAC 2026 is scheduled to begin March 25 through March 28 in Grapevine, Texas.  Interestingly, President Trump not scheduled to speak at the event; neither is JD Vance, Marco Rubio or any other potential GOP 2028 nominee including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

There are a few cabinet members scheduled as speakers [SEE HERE], however, all of the major MAGA politicians are not in attendance.  It will be interesting to see if the attendance at CPAC 2026 is impacted.

The absence of Donald Trump, JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Ron DeSantis or any other major MAGA-era politician is not that surprising given the commercialized nature and evolution of the organization under the leadership of Matt and Mercedes Schlapp.  The Schlapp’s are highly focused on affluence and considerably disconnected from the MAGA base.

When you chase money, you end up with traditional Republican outcomes.  The corporate assembly that CPAC became has been spiraling downward in influence for the past dozen years.  However, it is still remarkable to see just how diminished the organization has become.

Steve Bannon remains on the schedule to speak, and the remaining list of easily identifiable speakers resembles a Bannon podcast guest list.  There are several foreign ‘conservatives’ scheduled to participate, but there are zero potential 2028 candidates in the currently displayed list of speakers.  Ted Cruz will be there.
