Ahead of Trump’s Arrival to Davos, Secretary Bessent Holds a Press Conference


Posted originally on CTH on January 21, 2026 | Sundance 

A large U.S. delegation, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio are traveling with President Trump tonight to Davos.  Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and all of the key members of the cabinet are already there.

According to the official WEF schedule, President Donald Trump’s address is in the mid‑afternoon Wednesday January 21, with the Davos session set for 2:30 to 3:15 p.m. local time (8:30 to 9:15 a.m. ET).

The entire world will be watching this speech considering the geopolitical events of the past year, the current trajectory of global relationships that has been scrambled by President Trump, and anticipation of this moment being the inflection point in Western political history.

On the tech side, all of the information bots under the control of Canada, the U.K, Australia and the global intelligence apparatus will be turned on to control and shape internet opinion of President Trump’s speech.  The need for control is a reaction to fear. Do not discount the stakes at play; this is beyond the trillions – this is everything.  For the opposition to President Trump this is a zero-sum conflict.

Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent held a press conference earlier today to absorb and address some of the key questions from the international media assembly (SEE BELOW).  Combined with feedback from Secretary Lutnick and USTR Greer, the speech content is being finalized on the flight between President Trump and Secretary Rubio.

Border Patrol and ICE Officials Hold a Press Conference Discussing Ongoing Targeted Operations in Minneapolis, Minnesota


Posted originally on CTH on January 20, 2026 | Sundance

Border Patrol Commander at Large Greg Bovino and ICE Executive Associate Director of Enforcement and Removal Operations Marcos Charles hold a press briefing to discuss and answer questions about ongoing operations in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The questions begin at 16:18 of the video below.

Greg Bovino notes the difference in Minneapolis, Minnesota is that the leftist groups are more organized and in direct communication with the state and local government.  If you read between the lines what Bovino is saying is that anarchists, professional leftists and radical groups are in control of the government within the region.  There is no distinction between the political officials in Minnesota and the leadership of the activists. WATCH:

Howard Lutnick: “Globalism Has Failed”…


Posted originally on CTH on January 20, 2026 | Sundance 

And so, it begins.  The fully engaged Trump MAGAnomic team begin their outlines to the World Economic Forum in Davos with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and the top line announcement, “Globalism has failed the United States of America.”

Appearing on an economic panel with various pontificating economic ministers of the elitist class, Secretary Lutnick begins to confront the panel and the audience with the big picture objective of the Trump administration.  Using real world examples, current citations highlighting the behavior of the assembled political representatives, Lutnick begins to tell them exactly what the reason are for President Trump’s policy.

Why would the EU destroy it’s own energy policy?  “Why would Europe agree to be ‘net-zero’ in 2030, when they don’t make a battery,” he asked.  Thus, the pragmatic realism of policy intersects with the hypocritical action and creates an outcome that no one can explain.  “So, if they go 2030, they are intentionally deciding to be subservient to China who makes the batteries,” he continued.  This makes absolutely no sense.

And he didn’t stop there.  WATCH:

Oh Dear – The Wall Street Journal Just Realized, President Trump is Making U.N. Functionally Obsolescent


Posted originally on CTH on January 20, 2026 | Sundance | 238 

This is funny.  The Wall Street Journal just realized the purpose of President Trump inviting world leaders to a new structure of global leadership.

As the outlet contemplates the mission of the “Gaza Board” they recognize the bigger intention, the nullification of the United Nations.

WASHINGTON DC – President Trump has expanded the mission of his proposed Gaza Board of Peace into a global body that would take on the role mediating conflicts currently held by the United Nations and carry a $1 billion fee for a permanent seat, according to a charter sent to prospective members.

[…] “Too many approaches to peace-building foster perpetual dependency, and institutionalize crisis rather than leading people beyond it,” the charter’s preamble says, calling for “a coalition of willing States committed to practical cooperation and effective action.”

[…] The expansive mandate underscored Trump’s accelerating push to replace the international system established by the U.S. after World War II, which he has attacked for years as ineffective, with a new structure built around himself that bypasses existing multilateral institutions. Earlier this month he pulled the U.S. out of 31 U.N. agencies and bodies, saying they operated “contrary to U.S. national interests.”

Countries that agree to join the board could serve for a three-year term, but that limit would be waived for countries that agree to contribute $1 billion in cash to the board, according to the charter, which was previously reported by Bloomberg. The charter doesn’t say how the fees will be used.

“It’s hard not to read this as an attempt to establish a precedent in Gaza that could be used elsewhere in terms of saying that Trump is going to be calling the global shots here, and you either fall in line or you’re not part of the process,” said Julien Barnes-Dacey, director of the Middle East and North Africa program at the European Council on Foreign Relations. (read more)

Figured that out all on their own, did they?

[…] “The Board of Peace is an international organization that seeks to promote stability, restore dependable and lawful governance, and secure enduring peace in areas affected or threatened by conflict,” it says.

[…] Around 60 governments have received invitations to join the board, but the reaction from most has been cautious so far. Asked Monday about the Trump plan, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer told reporters: “We’re talking to allies about the terms of the Board of Peace.”

France has been asked to join the board but plans to decline the offer for now because the charter goes beyond responsibility for Gaza and raises questions about the impact it would have on the U.N., according to a French official.

[…] Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said on X he had been invited onto the board and had already accepted. Orbán has positioned himself as one of the loudest advocates for Trump’s peace efforts in Ukraine. “We have, of course, accepted this honourable invitation,” Orbán said.

The king of Morocco, Mohammed VI, and the president of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, also announced they would join the board, officials from each country said on social-media posts that didn’t mention the $1 billion fee for a permanent seat.

[…] As chairman, Trump would have wide authority over the new organization, with the power to appoint and remove member states, as well as a veto over its decisions. The charter specifies that the board’s decisions will be “made by a majority of the member states present and voting, subject to the approval of the chairman, who may also cast a vote in his capacity as chairman in the event of a tie.”

It also reserves for the chairman the “exclusive authority” to create other entities to carry out the board’s mission.

The charter specifies that “Donald J. Trump shall serve as inaugural Chairman,” and it appears to outline a succession procedure that ensures he or a handpicked successor would remain in the position indefinitely.

“Replacement of the Chairman may occur only following voluntary resignation or as a result of incapacity,” it says. In that event, “the Chairman’s designated successor shall immediately assume the position of the Chairman.” (read more)

Treasury Secretary Bessent Delivers Remarks from Davos


Posted originally on CTH on January 20, 2026 | Sundance

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is in Davos ahead of President Trump’s visit on Wednesday and Thursday.  Secretary Bessent was asked by the assembled media about current administration policy toward Greenland.  WATCH:

What most people don’t understand about the strategically worded letter to Norway’s leftist Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, is how President Trump has just framed Støre as the defacto head of Brussels, representing the interests of the EU toward the framework of Greenland.

It’s not about the Nobel Peace Prize; it’s something far bigger.  President Trump did not initiate contact with PM Støre; the contact was first made by Støre calling President Trump to notify him that their position was to defend Greenland against any threat from a non-NATO nation.  President Trump asked how Norway was going to secure that pledge and Støre had no response.

Trump is correct; we cannot abdicate our own security to the promises of other nations.  This perspective not only applies toward the USA but also applies toward the EU and is the entire reason why Trump has told NATO they need to be able to defend themselves.

Norway said it cannot defend itself from Russian threats and needs the security of the U.S.  Accepting this statement Trump rightly asks: if you cannot defend yourself then how can you possibly defend Greenland.  Støre had no reply.  President Trump is unwilling to accept platitudes and statements in lieu of structural reality.

Prime Minister Støre previously said, “Norway’s position is firm: Greenland is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. Norway fully supports the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Denmark. There is broad agreement in NATO on the need to strengthen security in the Arctic, including in Greenland.”

In context President Trump’s position makes a great deal of pragmatic sense.

President Trump will not abdicate vital USA strategic security on the hope that NATO will defend our interests if needed.  In fact, the quagmire and inability of Europe to defend a European country like Ukraine proves the pragmatic point.  If Europe cannot organize strategic defense of Ukraine, then why the heck would Trump believe Europe would organize the strategic defense of Greenland.

Denmark cannot protect itself from China and/or Russia.  Why would the United States believe Denmark could protect Greenland?

Minneapolis Leftists Who Stormed Cities Church in St. Paul (Led by Don Lemon) Face Pending Federal Indictment


Posted originally on CTH on January 19, 2026 | Sundance 

On Sunday a group of anti-ICE leftists led by former CNN anchor Don Lemon stormed the Cities Church in Minneapolis/St Paul and terrorized the assembled congregation.  The federal dept of justice is now conducting an investigation that will lead to the indictments of all those who organized and participated in the event.

The leftists were not protestors or ICE agitators; the crew who entered the church coordinated and organized an aggressive assault on a religious assembly.  They are domestic political terrorists.

“Protesting” is petitioning a government or organization for a redress of grievances. The word for traumatizing parishioners and children attending a church service to effect political ends is “terrorism.”

Remember, back in August of 2025, just 5 months ago, a leftist transexual murderer shot and killed two children while wounding 30 others in a church in Minneapolis.  The nation may have forgotten the prior Church attack, but the Christian residents of Minneapolis have not.

The terror experienced on Sunday was very real.

The participants in the unlawful activity included former CNN Anchor Don Lemon, lawyer and former law professor Nekima Levy Armstrong, professional extremist and activist William Kelly, along with St. Paul school board member Chauntyll Allen, Black Lives Matter activists Monique Cullars Doty & Satara Strong-Allen and many more.

Asst Attorney General for the civil rights division of the DOJ, Harmeet Dhillon said earlier today, “Make no mistake: AG Pam Bondi & The Justice Dept will pursue federal charges in this case.”  The local police and/or state police could have arrested the terrorist group on the spot.  However, the federal dept of justice needs to get a federal judge to sign off on the pending arrest warrants.

The federal process is slower, but it will happen.

Notice I am not saying the arrests and indictments ‘may‘ happen.  I am saying the arrests and indictments ‘will‘ happen.
