In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the Donald Trump Administration and Presidency.
This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

As of this hour, there should still be 50,000-60,000 votes from Milwaukee not reported. The progressive Democrat wing is pulling out all the stops to prevent Hong from winning. She has won all Wisconsin’s big cities by 5% and more, so if she doesn’t win Milwaukee county, you’ll know the fix was in.
Right now Milwaukee county has reported 25,000 votes fewer than Dane county, and every election Milwaukee county has tens of thousands more votes than Dane.
I’m terribly sorry, but i need assistance. I thought I’d archived the article Sundance sent listing the media outlets that the government agencies leak to. I’ve been unsuccessful in looking through CTH archives. Would you please reply and post the article if you happened to save it? Thank you so very much!
If search for “leaks” on the search bar at the top of the page the first post that appears is this
Pulte Factor – Quick Reference Guide to Media Leaks
June 20, 2026 | Sundance | 116 Comments
This reference resource is based on historic patterns and generally has an 80/20 accuracy rate. While there are some leaks that cross through the data pattern, in the aggregate this basic outline has shown to be correct.
The leak source identification can help interested political observers understand the motives and objectives.
When you see the term “exclusive” in the originating media report, this guide increases in accuracy:
The State Department leaks to CNN
The CIA leaks to The Washington Post
The DOJ/FBI leaks to The New York Times and Politico
DHS domestically leaks to the Wall Street Journal
The National Security Council leaks primarily to Axios and Politico, NYT secondary
The Pentagon leaks to Fox News and the Wall Street Journal (Axios more recent)
Kash Patel leaks to John Solomon – Just The News
¹DNI leaks to the Wall Street Journal, however:
¹The ODNI gets a little complicated due to the structure of the ODNI. Each intelligence agency has a liaison office inside the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Generally, the topline guide above overlays with the desk assignment.
Example 1: CNN gets an ‘exclusive’ leak related to the DNI; the leak sourcing is therefore most likely to be the State Dept Desk inside the DNI office. (State Dept leaks to CNN)
Example 2: Washington Post gets an ‘exclusive’ leak related to the DNI. The leak sourcing is directly from the CIA liaison desk inside DNI. (CIA leaks to WaPo)
This is the consistent pattern that established itself over the past 20 years. It is generally accurate on an 80/20 basis. Meaning 80% of the time the origin of the leak can be identified this way with accuracy; 20% of the time it is not.
Hope that helps.”

Thanks to the coordinated efforts of the U.S. military and our gulf allies, the seven-day average for oil leaving the Strait of Hormuz is currently up to almost 9 million barrels per day.
When combined with the additional 5-7 million barrels per day leaving the region via newly upgraded pipelines and export facilities, total oil flows are currently averaging approximately 15 million barrels per day.
On Sunday alone, over 20 million barrels left the Arabian gulf region, which is above the pre-conflict average.

FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP’S TRUTH SOCIAL
“Today, at my direction, Dr. Mehmet Oz announced that Medicaid will NO LONGER fund gender transition surgeries and hormones for minors.
We are not going to pay for our innocent children to undergo these barbaric surgeries and practices, which result in unthinkable and irreversible harm to their young bodies.
Thanks to our strong position and pressure on this issue over the past year and a half, dozens of U.S. hospitals have already ended this so-called “gender-affirming care,” and we expect many more to follow.
Just think about all of the young, innocent, and perhaps confused children who will be spared!
While the Dumocrat Party wants your kids to be able to chop off their reproductive organs before they are old enough to vote, President Donald J. Trump (ME!) and the Republican Party say that is ABSURD, and we will protect America’s children.
Please remember this when you are casting your vote in the Midterm Elections in November.
Thank you for your attention to this very important matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP”
