Under pressure from a frustrated leftist base, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer appears on PBS to defend himself against increasing calls for his replacement.

Senator Schumer is having difficulty explaining to the base how ‘government shutdowns’ are now a bad idea, when previously the shutdown battles were always supported by Democrat leadership.

As Schumer notes, things are different now; the agenda of President Trump would benefit from a reduction in government and there’s no reason to believe Elon Musk (DOGE), Russ Vought (OMB) and President Trump would not like to continue a shutdown for an extended period while they reduced the size, scale, scope and power of the federal government. Such an approach would be against the interests of the hardline leftists.

The larger point on the shutdown and reasoning for supporting the Continuing Resolution are accurate. However, leftists are tribal followers by nature and when the direction of the activism is reverse by their leaders, they struggle intellectually and cognitively to understand why. Hence, Schumer is under fire.

That said, there’s a moment within the interview where Schumer is forced to outline what the political leadership is doing against the favorability of the Trump agenda. Within Schumer’s explanation of what they are doing, he admits to Democrats organizing activist groups to travel the country and target GOP townhall meetings to give the illusion of non-support. The goal, he says, is to change the narrative and pretend the policies of Democrats have more support than they do.  Watch, it’s a remarkable series of admissions.

Schumer also notes the Democrats also have a new “online operation” where they are intending to shape public opinion through the use of Astroturf activists to give the illusion of a larger support network.

When Vice-President JD Vance delivers prepared remarks about Artificial Intelligence, pay attention.

JD Vance is the 2028 presidential candidate of choice for the Technocrats; the current goal is to envelop the MAGA populist movement for the intents and purposes of the collective network of Technocrats.

This motive and intent baseline will not change as Vance positions to replace President Donald Trump.

During a speech to the American Dynamism Summit, JD Vance outlines his optimism for the future of the U.S. economy, as boosted by the technological advances in artificial intelligence.

Within his remarks, Vance correctly notes some voices are saying there is going to be a major fracture between the “Techno-optimists” and the “populists.” However, Vance defines that chasm, and then refutes that fear/concern around jobs, advanced AI, automation, innovation and the economy. He misses what will be the root cause of the fracture completely.

Vice-President Vance notes there is nothing to fear from innovation, artificial intelligence, robotics and advanced industrial application of emerging technology. Indeed, all facets of economic growth through the use of all the aforementioned enterprises are correctly framed by the vice president.

There is nothing to fear on the economic front from the technological advancements currently underway.

All the years of following the networks, rulings, relationships and details is starting to surface as important.  The notoriously corrupt DC Judge James Boasberg is now in the big ugly spotlight.

President Trump calls for Judge Boasberg to be impeached.

Supreme Court Justice John Roberts immediately jumps into action to defend his friend and colleague.   Have you ever seen Justice Roberts respond so quickly?   The reason is the relationship between him and Boasberg.

WASHINGTON – “For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose,” Roberts said Tuesday in a rare and brief statement issued just hours after Trump publicly joined demands by his supporters to remove judges he called “crooked.”

John Roberts appointed Boasberg to be presiding judge of the FISA court after Judge Rosemary Collyer’s term was over.  In the aftermath of the DOJ manipulating the FISA court to attack President Trump, Chief Justice Roberts needed Boasberg to protect the FISC.  As a result, Boasberg sat at the epicenter of some of the worst DC judicial decisions ever. Including the precedent of forcing VP Mike Pence to testify in a grand jury against the accused, President Donald Trump.

Simultaneously, Boasberg did everything he could to fulfill his commitment to Roberts, even appointing Mary McCord, wife of Roberts’ senior staff Sheldon Snook, to be amicus to the court.  {GO DEEP}

Deputy Chief of Staff and Senior Advisor to President Trump, Stephen Miller, holds a press gaggle outside the White House.

During the Q&A session, Mr Miller discussed the administration’s position against the extrajudicial ruling of DC Judge James Boasberg, who attempts to inject himself into the ‘national security’ authorities of President Trump and direct both national security and foreign policy as it relates to criminal illegal aliens.

Simultaneous to this presser, Judge Boasberg – who previously celebrated President Trump being dragged into court – was questioning DOJ lawyers about the criminal alien deportation process.  President Trump’s lawyers are correctly using the ‘national security’ argument that removes Judge Boasberg’s ability to inject himself into the issue.  Boasberg is furious.

During a review of the Kennedy Center in Washington DC, President Trump held a press gaggle to take questions from the traveling press pool.  President Trump began his remarks by announcing the JFK files will be released tomorrow, Tuesday March 18th, after being assembled for public release by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

President Trump notes he has not personally seen all of the documents related to the Kennedy assassination; however, there is “a lot of paper” to review by the media.  President Trump also notes he anticipated all of the documents to be released “without redactions.”

The release of the JFK files was a promise made during his 2024 campaign. The president remarked, “I am a man of my word.”  WATCH:

President Trump sends a shot across the bow to those who received a preemptive pardon from the administration of Joe Biden, noting the use of an autopen could nullify the issuance.

Via Truth Social – “The “Pardons” that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen. In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them! The necessary Pardoning Documents were not explained to, or approved by, Biden. He knew nothing about them, and the people that did may have committed a crime.

Therefore, those on the Unselect Committee, who destroyed and deleted ALL evidence obtained during their two year Witch Hunt of me, and many other innocent people, should fully understand that they are subject to investigation at the highest level. The fact is, they were probably responsible for the Documents that were signed on their behalf without the knowledge or consent of the Worst President in the History of our Country, Crooked Joe Biden!” (Source)

President Trump is likely to have another phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin this week according to Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff.

Witkoff was in Moscow Thursday for talks with President Putin and he shares how many specific details and issues were discussed.  The conflict zone in Ukraine is 2,000 kilometers long, with Russian and Ukraine fire on multiple points.  Despite a ceasefire on such a complicated scale, Steve Witkoff is optimistic it is possible.  Video and Transcript Below:

[Transcript] – MARGARET BRENNAN: We go now to President Trump’s Special Envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, who joins us this morning from Miami Beach. Welcome back to “Face the Nation,” Ambassador.

SPECIAL ENVOY TO THE MIDDLE EAST STEVE WITKOFF: Thank you. Thank you, Margaret. Thanks for having me.

MARGARET BRENNAN: So, you just heard Secretary of State Rubio talk about these efforts to broker a ceasefire. You were the man face-to-face with Vladimir Putin. I wonder what your answer to the question is, in regard to whether this is a delay tactic or whether Vladimir Putin is sincere in seeking a ceasefire?

STEVE WITKOFF: Well, I was there for quite some time, Margaret, and I agree with the Secretary’s assessment. We made a lot of progress in that meeting. It was a meeting that was- it could have been as long as four hours, but it was certainly at least three. We talked about a lot of specifics, and I point to the large gap that existed between Ukraine and Russia prior to the inauguration, and where we are today. We have narrowed the issues between both of these parties, making a lot of progress, in my opinion, and I think that meeting underscores that.

It will not come as a surprise to CTH readers to hear the name Judge James Boasberg associated with efforts to protect the institutional interests of a corrupt DC deep state.  Boasberg has a long, very long, and well documented history of protecting the DC apparatus {CTH Archives on Boasberg HERE}.

On Saturday, without giving the Trump administration any time to respond, Judge Boasberg issued an immediate temporary restraining order (TRO) blocking DHS, Customs and Border Patrol and ICE from deporting illegal aliens and narcotrafficking gang members belonging to Tren de Aragua (TdA), a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization.

Boasberg ordered the flights of criminal gang members to turn around and immediately bring the criminals back to the USA to enjoy a life of criminal conduct and terrorism in the USA.  National security is secondary to the rights of criminal aliens to sell drugs, continue child/sexploitation, murder American citizens and rape their targets.

As I wrote in 2021, Judge James Boasberg has long been severely compromised; there simply is no other way to look at his interception of cases to protect the system, and the depth of his corruption is clearly visible in this set of rulings.

WASHINGTON DC – A federal judge has ordered an immediate hold on efforts by President Donald Trump to quickly deport Venezuelan nationals under rarely used wartime powers intended to resist a foreign invasion — and demanded the return of planes already headed to Central America.

CTH has long documented the history of FBI as a political weapon for the interests of Washington DC.  From a research perspective there is no longer any question about the intents and motives of the FBI as a fully weaponized agency, working against the interests of the American people.

That said, Senators Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson have recently released stunning information highlighting how the FBI conducted an operation in 2022 entirely to ensnare President Donald Trump within their corrupt and political investigative clutches.  [Press Announcement Here]

Grassley and Johnson have sent the documentary evidence to current Attorney General Pam Bondi along with a letter that outlines a political targeting operation against Donald Trump known as “Arctic Frost.” [Letter pdf Here]

WASHINGTON – In a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Kash Patel, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) made public legally protected whistleblower disclosures showing the FBI, as part of its Arctic Frost investigation, acquired the government cell phones of President Donald Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence, among other government officials. FBI agents used taxpayer dollars to crisscross the country and conduct dozens of interviews in support of the political probe.
