WSJ, NYT and WaPo Authors Promote Leaked Audio of Trump Threatening Xi and Putin


Posted originally on CTH on July 9, 2025 | Sundance 

CNN state media narrative engineers (think State Dept. in all things CNN) are running with a story to promote a new book by Josh Dawsey (Wall Street Journal – Author), Tyler Pager (New York Times – Author), Isaac Arnsdorf (Washington Post – Author) where they write about an audio segment by candidate Trump telling NY donors how he threatened Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese Chairman Xi Jinping.

The leaked audio is essentially unremarkable as President Trump has told this story several times. However, the background context is more interesting when we consider the motives of the WSJ, NYT and WaPo. Here’s the segment:

The WSJ is against President Trump based on economics; WSJ representing Wall Street. The NYT is against President Trump based on DHS/DOJ domestic opposition from within DC. The WaPo is against President Trump based on the CIA position and larger intelligence community. None of the motives within these outlets are challenged by the intellectually honest political observers.

So, what’s the play here?

Josh Dawsey (WSJ), Isaac Arnsdorf (WaPo), Tyler Pager (NYT)

There are trillions at stake.

The goals and objectives of the trio corporate aligned entities is to paint President Trump into a corner regarding Russia.

Currently Russian President Vladimir Putin is praising President Trump saying, he genuinely believes “Trump wants to create peace”, while simultaneously Putin is preparing for an American-led NATO war against Russia. How do these two points reconcile?

Actually, it’s not difficult.

President Putin is well aware that President Trump does not control the elements within the U.S. intelligence apparatus who are organizing and facilitating the proxy war using Ukraine. Simultaneously, President Putin senses that Trump genuinely wants to create peace.

In the mind of President Putin, and in the growing awareness of the American electorate, the President of the United States does not control the Intelligence Community. It is entirely possible for the USIC to take America to war despite the President and people of America not wanting that outcome. Putin is simply prepared for that outcome.

That reality explains the dynamic where President Trump engages with President Putin in an effort to stop the war in Ukraine, yet President Putin continues the war in Ukraine because he knows President Trump does not control the elements that facilitate the Ukraine military.

People struggle with this concept; however, I would remind everyone that right now YOU are paying for the entire government of Ukraine to exist. Including the Ukraine govt payrolls, retirement benefits, healthcare and operational budget of Ukraine overall.

Americans do not want to pay for that. President Trump does not want to pay for that. Yet, here we are; paying for that. The same unilateral process applies to the literal Ukraine war and conflict with Russia.

You might not want it. President Trump might not want it; yet, here we are providing weapons, intelligence, satellite communication, personnel and systems for the war. This is the reality of the situation regardless of your/my willingness to accept it.

President Putin cannot negotiate based on a reality of what he would like to see. Instead he has to make determinations based on what is factually evident. Putin accepts things as they are, not as the rest of the world pretends them to be. Therein lies the problem.

[NOTE: “cockroaches” in a Russian context are individuals who oppose your goals]

I have said all along the #1 way to cut this Gordian knot is to stop pretending. However, the pretenders are working diligently to block President Trump’s knot cutting desires. This the the context for the audio “leak” promoters in combination with the motive of the entities who recorded and leaked it.

I will keep watching, from a position of advanced reconnaissance.  It’s no longer safe here and I’m working my way back {fingers crossed}. These simple truths are evident from looking directly at where things are now and I share them because we cannot have an honest conversation without first acknowledging the true landscape around us.

The Epstein stuff is serving a purpose.  People are chasing the shiny thing.

Trump does not want war with Russia.  However…

Just in case he fails, prepare for war.

Enjoy your day.

Live your very best life.

Supreme Court Green Lights Trump Administration Plan to Downsize Government and Shrink Payroll


Posted originally on CTH on July 8, 2025 | Sundance

The Supreme Court has approved a request for intervention by the high court and blocked a lower level court ruling that stopped the Trump administration from reducing the size of government.   In an 8-1 ruling [SEE HERE] with again only Ketanji Brown Jackson in dissent, the court has stayed the lower court ruling.

[Source]

WASHINGTON – […] The Trump administration can move forward with plans to fire tens of thousands of workers across the federal government, the Supreme Court ruled Tuesday.

A judge in California had blocked the layoffs, finding that they would likely violate federal law. But the justices granted an emergency appeal from the administration seeking permission to enforce a Feb. 11 executive order that instructed agencies to carry out dramatic “reductions in force.”

In an apparent 8-1 ruling, the high court said it was not assessing the legality of any particular agency’s layoff plans, nor any moves taken so far to implement those plans. Litigation over the downsizing efforts is sure to continue. But for now, the justices said, the administration can enforce the executive order and a memo from the Office of Management and Budget implementing that EO.

The high court’s unsigned decision — which the majority explained in two terse paragraphs — lifts an injunction issued by U.S. District Judge Susan Illston, who had blocked 21 agencies from complying with the mass layoff orders.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the sole member of the court to record a dissent. (read more)

Justice KBJ was a radical DEI implant operation conducted by the people around former President Obama. The people around President Obama knew how stupid and ideological KBJ was about constitutional law when they organized her ascension plan. Stupidity was a feature of their agenda, not a flaw.  She is an embarrassment to the court and to our nation.

President Trump Appears Frustrated About Continued Jeffrey Epstein Questions


Posted originally on CTH on July 8, 2025 | Sundance

I’ll put the entire cabinet meeting in another post.  It is interesting that RFK Jr. was not present (?).

For this outline, let’s focus on the issue that is exploding the MAGA and anti-MAGA universe on social media right now. President Trump and Pam Bondi’s response to a question about Jeffrey Epstein and the controversial DOJ/FBI memo that now states there is no “third party” or “client list” connected to the Epstein sex trafficking.

Obviously, President Trump is not happy with attention focused on the Epstein issues.  The most likely reason for the frustration expressed is simply that President Trump is unaware how much the Epstein issues are -and have been- part of the background focus within the base of his support.  Here’s the segment. WATCH:

First, kudos to Marco Rubio for his stone faced and remarkably unaffected disposition within the exchange.  It takes time and experience to remain stoic at this level.  Exceptional control.

Second, everyone here has a reasonable BS detector – meaning we can tell when a person is not telling the truth.  It is transparently obvious AG Pam Bondi is extremely uncomfortable with the Epstein issue, and her responses indicate she is not being honest or forthright.  You could say, she’s lying; however, the facts of her presentation are a little more complicated.

The main issue around Bondi’s less-than-fulsome response is the motive.  Is she lying because she’s just grossly incompetent about the issue, or is she lying because she is nefarious in her intent.  The Occam’s Razor answer to her obvious parseltongue is a combination of both.

Former AG Pam Bondi, now Attorney General Pam Bondi is entirely over her head when it comes to highly sensitive and critically important issues.  She does not have the intellectual acumen to engage on a subject that is both complex and sensitive.  Bondi is an unmoored ship, floating in the direction of tides, waves and winds on any particular subject.

When a controversial issue arises, the character of the individual becomes more visible.  Direct honesty is challenging to an unmoored person because they are always guesstimating, attempting to navigate and find the best position with themselves as the focus of the issue, not the issue itself.

In general terms, when a person is unmoored, the personal character trait of ‘how does this affect me’ surfaces quickly and visibly whenever a topic of discomfort surfaces.  If that topic is one of high public interest, the prism of self-interest, brutally visible, then creates the realization of distrust.  This outward appearance cannot be hidden and begins the person into a downward spiral that becomes even more clear when the predictable anger defensive mechanism is triggered.  We see all of that in Bondi’s reaction to the question.

This aspect of Pam Bondi’s character was why CTH was out front of the nomination in saying this could be a problem.  If she was willing to go along with the fabrication of a false witness in the Zimmerman case, what does that tell us about predicting her behavior as the U.S. Attorney General?  That reality was the source of our concern.  Now people are starting to see it surface.

Bondi is both lying from incompetence, simply her words do not pass the standard of common sense, and she is lying from a position that the DOJ/FBI claims just simply do not add up.

Unfortunately, both Bondi and Trump’s response to the Epstein issue now open a huge gate for the opposition to exploit.  Elon Musk and his legions of anti-Trumpers, both new and old, will now enjoy enhanced support as their attack exploits will benefit from visible obfuscation.  MAGA people will begin to distrust, that opens the door for anti-MAGA elements to engage in the issue that both Bondi and Trump obfuscate.  This is not good.

Lastly, regarding President Trump.  There is a membrane around the President that is very difficult to penetrate.  President Trump has guards around him that do not allow information to enter against their priority interests.  Trump’s handlers, specifically Bondi’s key ally, Susie Wiles, have an agenda for President Trump, and they control his domestic political worldview by controlling the information that reaches him.

Yes, President Trump has handlers, monitors, who steer the subjects they want into his field of vision.  If there is an issue they do not prioritize, he simply does not see it.  The same applies to all Presidents and all Executives in positions of power, the issue is not exclusive to President Trump, and we all have reference points – albeit with less consequence.

President Trump is blind to the importance of the Jeffrey Epstein story, because he is disconnected from realizing the importance of the issue to his support base.  It really is that simple.  To him, this looks like a distraction, because from his well managed perspective this is not an issue the guards have drawn attention to.

President Trump’s primary way of sensing the priorities of the electorate were rallies and meetings with ordinary people and MAGA supporters.  However, when he won the election he is now circled by people who -at times- have a completely different agenda and priority focus than the ordinary people left outside.

I understand this dynamic from my own personal engagement with people close to President Trump, in combination with watching closely how information flows into his psyche.  That said, I am relatively optimistic the Epstein issue will soon be explained to President Trump in a way that changes how he approaches it.

Unfortunately, it takes time for information to penetrate the politically protective membrane around President Trump; but when it does, he will react to it.  The ammunition this issue has provided to his enemies will quickly be noted by Dan Scavino Jr., Melania Trump and Barron Trump.

Despite the ugliness, President Trump is a man of honest temperament, and he can quickly adapt. However, Pam Bondi is structurally incapable of recovering, but I suspect she will appear on Sean Hannity in an effort to rehabilitate herself.

Pattern Repeats – Imported Durable Goods Creating Deflation on U.S Consumer Prices


Posted originally on CTH on July 8, 2025 | Sundance

The Term-1 effect of deflation created by tariff policy is resurfacing in Term-2 even with larger tariff impacts across the network of global manufacturing exports. [DATA SOURCE]

In essence, there is little to no end result in price increases in the final price of consumer goods (Consumer Price Index). In fact, there is a slight deflationary aspect on CPI data from imported durable goods.  The lower price of arriving imported durable goods is effectively putting downward pressure on US consumer prices.   This is identical to the Term-1 result. A pattern is repeating.   [PCE personal consumption expenditure / CPI consumer price index]

[Source – WH Council of Economic Advisors]

It sounds counterintuitive, but tariffs do not impact the final price of goods to USA consumers; there are just too many factors, too many elements within the Total Cost of Goods (TCG) within supply chain.  Global energy prices, domestic energy prices, currency evaluations and fluctuations, state/govt subsidies to manufacturers, labor negotiations and production profit offsets are only a few of the components.

Additionally, and this is where U.S. consumers do not get a fulsome explanation from corporate media analysts, the tariff rate is applied to the ‘cost’ the exporter pays, not the final consumer price.  A pair of jeans from China may be sold to the import company for $5 per pair. A 30% tariff raises the price of the jeans by $1.50 to $6.50.  The tariff rate does not apply to the retail price of $50 paid by the consumer.

CEA ANALYSIS – The Council of Economic Advisers (CEA), after decomposing the Personal Consumption Expenditure Price Index into imported and domestic components, found that the prices of imported goods have not only fallen this year, but also declined faster than overall goods prices since February. These findings contradict claims that tariffs or tariff-fears would lead to an acceleration of inflation.

More commonly referred to as PCE or PCEPI, the Personal Consumption Expenditure Price Index is an inflation gauge watched closely by policymakers and financial markets. Overall goods prices in the PCE index have increased by 0.4 percent from December 2024 through May 2025, which corresponds to a 1 percent annualized rate.

Meanwhile, the imported component of PCE goods prices fell by 0.1 percent from December 2024 through May 2025. CEA’s directional findings using this method of analyzing the PCE are consistent across core goods (excluding food and energy), durables (which last for at least three years), and nondurables. The import contribution to inflation includes both the direct impact of imported final goods for consumption and indirect effects of imported intermediate inputs.

Similar analysis for the widely used Consumer Price Index (CPI) shows that imported goods have deflated 0.8 percent while overall goods prices have remained constant. There are a number of differences between PCE and CPI inflation, including scope of products included and weighting methodologies, so finding a similar pattern for CPI highlights the robustness of the results.
