U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer Outlines Status of U.S. Trade with Canada and China

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:

USA Foreign Born Population Declines by 3 Million in Measured January 2025 to July 2026

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.

Maria Bartiromo Departs Fox News

[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.

DOJ Affirms Legislative Rule that All States Participating in Federal Welfare Programs Must Report Illegal Aliens to DHS

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.”

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick Quotes Canadian Officials Who Said They Purposefully Fractured the Trade Deal for Domestic Political Value

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):

Transcript – Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin Takes Questions from Assembled Media

Considering that European NATO partners are urgently trying to expand the Ukraine conflict and assemble a united NATO war effort against the Russian Federation, it is worth reviewing the current position of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Vladimir Putin held a press conference on the sidelines of the SCO summit in Kyrgyzstan.  A transcript is below:

Olga Knyazeva: Today, very much attention is given to our contacts with the United States. The CIA director has reportedly visited [Moscow] to offer trilateral Russia-US-Ukraine talks.

Do you think we need any negotiation tracks now or possibly new intermediaries, including American ones?

Vladimir Putin: First, communication between our intelligence services is maintained at all times. You may have noticed that we have recently handed over to the American side an American citizen who was serving a prison term in Russia. We did that for health and humanitarian reasons. He is a simple guy, a drinker and a brawler with health problems, so we sent him home to get medical assistance.

It was my first point. Communication is and was always maintained, even in the most difficult periods of the Cold War, and even more so now. Direct contacts are also maintained between the senior officials of our intelligence services.

As for expanding the number of negotiators, we believe that negotiations, any kind of negotiations, should be primarily filled with concrete content. If anyone is making or can make a practical contribution to this process, we are all for it.

The only thing we would like to avoid is to carry on a senseless process. If anyone can make a positive contribution to this negotiating process, which has been frozen to some extent, as we see this, we would not be against this. But this requires the involvement of specialists, the military and diplomats, of course.

From His Own Lips Canadian PM Mark Carney Explains the Four Issues He Used to Break a U.S-Canada Trade Discussion

Within 12 hours of the Friday announcement that Canada had walked away from trade discussions with the U.S, we were able to piece together what the four points were.  Several people disagreed and claimed something else was involved.  Today, Prime Minister Mark Carney affirmed specifically the accuracy of those four points.

While Prime Minister Carney used his verbose gaslighting to describe them, you can listen for yourself.  It boiled down to four issues: [1] U.S. streaming services writing code for “search engines” in the French language (cultural issue). [2] The U.S. having a right to reject a trade deal made by Canada with a non-market economy, ie. CHINA. [3] Removal of tariffs on Canadian assembled heavy trucks, semi-trucks and industrial trucks (not in the auto sector). [4] Canada demanding 5% of gross revenues from U.S. tech platforms, with an attitude that U.S. controls North American trade.

You can listen to his own words describing these issues.  WATCH:

The United States must, as a matter of U.S. national security and survival, immediately cut all trade ties with Canada completely.  I’ll explain why this is so critical and important.

The most appropriate metaphor is the drowning victim (Canada) with an intentionally placed anchor on its foot (China), now becoming a threat to the rescue swimmer (USA).   If we don’t cut ties, we risk our own livelihood.

Here’s the four counterpoints:

Miami Doctor Who Promotes “Have Your Baby in Miami” Birthright Citizenship Scheme Pleads Fifth to Congress

Representatives on the House Oversight Committee Task Force on Protecting Constitutional Rights and Exposing Institutional Abuses, held a hearing today on the subject of Birthright Citizenship and immigration fraud [hearing below].

The committee subpoenaed Dr. Wladimir Lorentz, the owner and founder of Miami Medical Concierge Services, following his refusal to testify. The committee intended to ask questions about the company’s role in arranging births for foreign nationals. Following the subpoena, Dr Lorentz invoked the Fifth Amendment to every question, citing a pending federal investigation into his business, also known as “Have My Baby in Miami.” WATCH (prompted):

…”Birth tourism has created a for-profit industry that abuses our nation’s immigration laws.  The birth tourism industry consists of a complex underground network of fraud involving visa manipulation, maternity-hotels, and sometimes unpaid medical bills, which place burdens on American taxpayers.

Thankfully, Republicans and the Trump Administration are working to expose and address the birth tourism problem through proposed legislation and executive action.  We must protect, strengthen and uphold the dignity and value of American citizenship, and protect our country from foreign efforts to subvert what it means to be an American.”…  ~ Representative Brandon Gill
