Once again, you may have seen a lot of banter, interpretation and discussion in western media about Russia speaking of defending Kaliningrad with nuclear weapons if needed.  To gain a full understanding of the context, I strongly suggest reading the transcript below.

Vladimir Putin addressed the plenary session of the 23^rd annual meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club. It is a very lengthy discussion.  I am pulling out the key segment and suggest everyone take some quiet time to read.

President Vladimir Putin – […] Let me digress from the main topic for a while. There are people here in this room who hold a very diverse mix of opinions regarding an extremely acute present-day conflict – the Ukraine conflict, and what caused it. I would like to say a few words on this matter. It is a fact that many hundreds or even thousands of experts, your colleagues who will study the materials from this Valdai Club meeting, they have their own opinions on this matter. I am, of course aware that some within the expert community might ask why Russia started the war while talking about peace. I have commented this many times already, but let me say this once again in front of this audience.

Where is the truth? The truth is that we did not want and were not the ones who started to fight. In fact, they started to fight against us. They should have refrained from encouraging aggressive nationalism and Russophobia in Ukraine so as to turn it into a tool for fighting Russia. NATO should not have embarked on an effort to make our historical territories part of its military space in its own interests and should not have planned setting up its bases there. Radicals in Kiev should not have been pushed to a government coup while the de facto illegal regime should not have been pumped full of all kinds of offensive weapons after that. Plans for setting up concentration camps for the people from Donbass and Crimea should not have been drafted. Unarmed people should not have been rolled over by tanks, shelled with missiles and bombed from the air and burnt alive just for being Russian, in terms of both their ethnic background and their spirit.

The list of these do-nots goes on, but let me stop at that. I am convinced that this was an intentional effort to place Russia in a situation when it was simply forced to defend itself with arms in hand to respond to this obvious act of aggression. They pushed us to this brink knowingly and intentionally. Overall, Russophobia, oppressing and killing Russian people and destroying Russia should not be turned into state ideology while striving to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia. This was the way it was all articulated, right? No one forgot this. At least, we did not forget this.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has recently promoted an expansive LNG pipeline deal to center the domestic infrastructure development around the concept of “Buy Canadian.”  However, when questioned about the actual construction of the proposal, Carney now admits the developers will determine what resources will be used – and it will not be Canadian product.

The unfortunate reason is not complicated.  Canada does not have the industrial capacity to make the heavy components for the LNG expansion pipeline because Canada does not have the ability.

[SOURCE]

CALGARY — LNG Canada is planning to use Chinese steel in major components of its $33-billion second-phase expansion despite Ottawa’s promises that nationally significant projects would help drive Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Buy Canadian policy.

The joint venture says Canada lacks the specialized fabrication facilities needed to manufacture the massive modules required for its expansion and plans to buy more components from state-owned China Offshore Oil Engineering Co. Ltd. (COOEC), which manufactured modules for the project’s first phase. (read more)

I would remind readers this inability to manufacture industrial goods is exactly what former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau outlined to President Trump in December 2025 in Mar-a-Lago, when President Trump challenged Trudeau to stop importing Chinese steel and aluminum.  Canada’s clean energy policy blocks the country from creating heavy industrial components.  WATCH:

Here we go again.

I hope people have caught on by now. However, just in case, let me try to help:

• In 2010 it was Sandra Fluke
• In 2012 it was Romney’s “binders of women”
• In 2014 it was the ‘Me Too” movement / Mattress Girl
• In 2016 it was “Grab them by the pussy” (Trump)
• In 2018 it was E Jean Carroll (Trump)
• In 2020 it was Amy Dorris (Trump)
• In 2022 it was Matt Gaetz, Hershel Walker
• In 2024 it was Jeffrey Epstein et al
• In 2026 it is “The Cornell 7”

Each of these examples are election years.

In each election year professional Democrats deploy the same process to generate support from “suburban women voters”, also known as AWFLS.

These are women voters typically from middle to upper-middle-class backgrounds, who are perceived as politically liberal or left-leaning, often vocal about social justice issues and engaged in activism or virtue signaling. Their gender identity defines them.

In order to generate support, or activate this specific voter base, women’s issues and/or sexual misconduct is utilized as a trigger mechanism. Once the election is over, the emphasis and narrative disappears…… until the next election cycle. Wash – Rinse – Repeat.

For this 2026 cycle the DNC tested: The Lindsay Clancy trial (didn’t work); then Sydney Sweeney posing naked with sports balls (again, didn’t poll test well); then came the first female execution in 200 years (backup fail ongoing); so, they have stuck with the Cornell Seven.

The DNC needs to constantly motivate suburban women to vote!  So, find a story that emphasizes how awful men are and how women are victims.  Drumbeat those talking points on every channel 24/7 for the month before elections.

If you cannot see the pattern by now, you are politically oblivious. However, once you see it you can never unsee it.

UPDATE BELOW:

According to CNN, current Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton is likely to be appointed the AI/SI Czar.  If that is accurate, and not a leak trap – which considering the source is sketchy, then that leaves the DNI position open again.

(VIA CNN) – President Donald Trump is expected to pick Jay Clayton to be the White House’s new czar of artificial intelligence, two sources familiar with the discussion told CNN.

The president could announce his decision about Clayton, who is director of national intelligence, as early as Friday, one of the sources said.

Trump announced last month that he was planning to create an “AI Force” and name an AI czar as the government faces growing calls to impose guardrails on the technology’s rapid development.

Trump gathered several AI and technology CEOs at the White House on Tuesday for a meeting that culminated in the signing of a new commitment aimed at better “self-policing” their companies’ AI models. (read more)

If it is accurate that Clayton is going to the Super Intelligence Czar position, and considering the sudden reappearance last week at the White House, is there a possibility of someone returning to the administration as DNI?

President Donald Trump heads to Durant, Oklahoma to hold a MAGA rally at the Choctaw Event Center.  The anticipated start time is 7:00pm ET with rally speakers ongoing.

The rally is billed by the Republican National Committee as the start of a nationwide campaign push over the final 30 days before midterm Election Day. RNC officials say Durant was chosen in part for its location near the Texas border, which lets the event reach voters in both Oklahoma and Texas.  Livestream Links Below:

Today, President Donald Trump is visiting Peterbilt Motors Company factory in Denton, Texas, to emphasize the economic wins within the jobs and manufacturing industries.

Current economic growth is anticipated to exceed five percent GDP as the prior investments now materialize in jobs and production outputs.  Simultaneously, trade deficits are declining as the U.S produces ever-increasing amounts of domestic goods needed within the U.S. economy.  This domestic activity expands jobs and the economy at rapid rates.

Most people will not read the Inspector General Report in full [SEE PDF HERE].  But if you did, you might come to the same conclusion as myself.  The entire FED and IG Michael Horowitz should be fired, arrested and prosecuted for corruption at a level that is simply jaw dropping.

The issue is really simple if you cut through the fog of the report.  The FED Board awarded a no-bid contract to the contractor, without an agreement on the building renovation project and the construction costs associated with it until President Donald Trump began drawing attention to it.  This is gross corruption at a massive scale.

To use the terminology of the report, start with this aspect:

…”the Board selected a different project delivery method, construction manager at risk (CMAR), for the Eccles-1951 renovation project. A well-managed CMAR contract allows a building owner—in this case, the Board—to transfer certain construction risks, including those related to cost and schedule performance, to its construction manager (also known as a construction manager as constructor, or CMc). To effect this risk transfer, a CMAR contract provides for the owner and CMc to agree on a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) for the project, usually around the time construction begins or building design is substantially complete. Once the GMP is set, the owner has greater cost certainty and the CMc is incentivized to carefully manage costs. If costs exceed the GMP, the CMc absorbs them with limited exceptions, such as when the GMP may be increased to account for change events like owner directed changes or other adjustments like unforeseen site conditions“… {Source pg, 5}

So, the FED board established, at least with themselves, that they would have an agreement on cost for the project.  However, if you go to page 60 of the report you find this:

…” in connection with a multibillion-dollar contract, the Board did not ask its CMc for a construction cost estimate or a GMP until December 2025—about 3.5 years after construction began and after the Board had already awarded more than $2 billion. Specifically, the Board did not take advantage of several key opportunities to request a cost estimate from the CMc”…. (Source pg, 60}

It wasn’t until President Trump drew attention to the FED having spent over $2 billion, that FED Chair Jerome Powell, and the FED board requested the construction manager and construction company to provide a cost estimate.  This is unreal, especially considering that IG Michael Horowitz finds no unlawful decision-making in the overall fiasco.
