National Economic Council (NEC) Director Kevin Hassett appears on CNBC to discuss the exceptionally good August jobs report from the Bureau of Labor and Statistics.  Hassett notes that capital expenditures and investments into U.S. manufacturing industries and companies building for growth has begun to show up in the jobs numbers.

Companies are building out infrastructure and plants.  Those plants under construction will continue to lead a jobs boom.  The growth in jobs is in the private sector, while the Trump administration continues to downsize the federal workforce.  MAGAnomics at work strengthening our American economy, while the onshoring of industry and reindustrialization efforts continues.  WATCH:

While our U.S. economy is growing, the European economy is shrinking.  When you think about Canada, the U.K and EU-NATO allies all positioning themselves for expanded war against Russia, the strength of the U.S. economy becomes even more important.

Canada, the U.K and the EU-NATO alliance all want war against Russia.  President Trump does not.  Many voices inside Washington DC, stand with the Canadian/U.K./EU-NATO mindset and also want that conflict.  President Trump does not.

If you have reviewed my prior research on the banking side of this looming war dynamic, almost entirely driven by politics, then you can appreciate just how tenuous this moment in our history is.  There are trillions at stake, and some are willing to do anything in order to retain control.

Sometimes you can get so far into the rabbit hole that you just need to transmit the signal and let others figure it out.  So, here’s some sketchy stuff that doesn’t make sense, but then again…

You might remember my mentioning that something was odd after Zelenskyy visited London in early June and then a series of unexplained events started happening.  Well, maybe what I am about to share connects to that, or maybe it’s just my imagination.

It all started when I took the announcement of De Nederlandsche Bank transferring gold from Canada and the USA, then overlaid their reported timeline with other stuff I have been tracking.  According to the announcement: “Between March and August 2026, approximately 86 tonnes of gold were transferred from the combined total of approximately 313 tonnes held in the United States and Canada to London.” {source}

Now, mind you the official public notice just happened yesterday, Sept 2nd.

Between March and August 2026?  A very interesting set of dates, considering the Dutch claim their move was due to uncertainty with the USA and Canada economic and trade positions, yet those economic/trade positions were not tenuous until very late August.

Why move gold out of Canada in March?

Here’s the interesting timing.  Do you remember when Canada reported a 0.0% GDP growth in the first quarter, and technically that put them into a defined recession.  That narrative was not in the interests of Mark Carney who was -perhaps not coincidentally- repeatedly visiting the EU after taking up the leadership position for the “new, middle-power world order.”  In fact, the Canadian GDP result was widely reported and a sore spot for Carney’s govt.

Amid the global opposition to a new American geopolitical framework there is some seriously sketchy stuff taking place.  My next article will outline something in the background that may put these comments by Jamieson Greer into an entirely new context.

In this interview with Fox News, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer outlines more specifics of what took place between the U.S. and Canada trade discussions.  Suffice to say, Mark Carney is up to some really sketchy stuff on behalf of his globalist allies, including the EU-NATO coalition.

Pay close attention to what Greer says in this interview and remember, there are trillions at stake. The source for this video is X.  WATCH:

As President Trump, DHS and ICE continue the border enforcement and deportation effort there are some statistics now worth reviewing.

The U.S. Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) is reporting a population decline of 3 million foreign born persons in the USA as a result of the ongoing Trump administration effort to locate, capture and remove illegal aliens.  Obviously, it has taken time to get up to speed on the overall deportation side of the issue; however, Trump has effectively removed a year of open border entrants.

The current number of foreign-born persons is now at the Jan 2024 level and declining as the four years of the Biden surge are being removed.

[CHART SOURCE]

There is still a long way to go, and against the Lawfare opposition it has been a tough slog.  It also took a long time for DHS, CBP and ICE to retool and get up to speed.  That said, the pace of exfiltration is now faster than before.  More illegals are being identified and removed at a faster pace.

Additionally, as word spreads about the consequences of not self-deporting, more unlawful migrants are now reevaluating their risk.  While it is still early, the pace is rapid enough to completely eliminate the Biden surge.  There is more optimism for that outcome than before.  The issue now is one of political resolve against a hardened, leftist, communist, internal enemy who support open-borders.

[UPDATE BELOW] In a rather terse statement [SEE HERE] Fox News has announced that Maria Bartiromo is no longer employed by the media network.

NEW YORK – September 3, 2026 — Effective today, Maria Bartiromo is no longer with FOX News Media.

In making the announcement, FOX News Media said, “We thank Maria for her work over the last 12 ½ years and wish her all the best on her next chapter.”

Maria Bartiromo became increasingly popular amid the MAGA base during the research and revelations surrounding the ‘Spygate’ and ‘Russiagate’ storyline. Bartiromo often had several guests on her Sunday Morning Futures program that highlighted evidence of the corruption in the DOJ, FBI and U.S Intelligence Community.  However, it also became more visible that Bartiromo was navigating between sensitive topics that often ran counter to the professional republican class interests in Washington DC.

Over the past few years Bartiromo softened her focus toward corrupt endeavors and began staying away from the most controversial aspects of how the structures of government operate. In a time when nearly all U.S. institutional credibility has crumbled, Bartiromo found herself in that awkward spot where you try to act like you’re not noticing the moment in the show when the marionette strings become visible.

The Justice Department has issued an important ruling requiring states to follow the legislated rule of reporting illegal aliens who receive Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI).  This rule can substantially alter the nature of financial support programs currently taking place with federal funds. [Full Press Release] [Full Opinion]

The Office of Legal Counsel has issued a legal opinion clarifying that when a state chooses to participate in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) programs, all agencies within that state — not only those that administer TANF or SSI benefits — must report individuals known to be not lawfully present in the United States to The Dept of Homeland Security. {citation}

DOJ Press Release: […] “Congress wrote this requirement plainly,” said Assistant Attorney General T. Elliot Gaiser of the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel. “When a state chooses to participate in TANF, it accepts the obligation to report illegal aliens in the United States. Tax dollars intended to help vulnerable Americans should not perversely encourage illegal entry into the United States, but rather should reinforce our laws and our borders.”

“Our clarification does not impose new obligations on states,” said Deputy Assistant Attorney General Joshua Craddock of the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel and author of the opinion. “It simply restores the original meaning of the statute Congress enacted and ensures that DHS receives the information it is legally entitled to. States that accept TANF funding must abide by federal law, and failure to comply may lead to serious consequences, including loss of program funding.”

A rather remarkable statement from Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick puts the Canadian government on notice.  If Lutnick is accurately outlining what took place, there’s no way Trump is going to give them a trade deal.

When he is questioned about the U.S-Canada trade agreement collapse, Secretary Lutnick quotes the Canadian govt officials.  “I said to him, are you trying to blow this up? and he said, and I quote, “I’m not allowed to say that.“” Lutnick then encapsulates what that response meant.

“They decided for political reasons, domestically, domestic Canada, they’d rather fight with Donald Trump; even if it’s bad for the economy of Canada, for their political ambition to get a certain election,” Lutnick noted.  He continued, “now remember, Quebec has the sovereign party was in the lead, so that’s why they came up with this French nonsense. You think the American side talked about how people speak in Quebec? We have a deal with France, we have a deal with Italy, we have a deal with Germany, we don’t care about their language; none of that was true.”   WATCH (prompted):
