One of the most significant aspects to President Trump’s administration was the trade and economic team he assembled to drive the “America-First” Main Street resurgence we saw on display throughout the four years in office.  Readers will note, there was no turnover of personnel in the trade and economic team, because they were the priority, the fulcrum of the Trump Doctrine. One of the key people driving the America-First agenda was Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross.

President Trump’s trade and economic team were laser focused on bringing back domestic Main Street economics as the foundation of our economy.  That approach put Wall Street multinationals at a policy disadvantage.   No-one without an interest in U.S. economic security was allowed a seat at the Trump table.

Policies and practices that supported made in the USA domestic manufacturing and industry were the prism through which all actions taken by the Trump administration were viewed.  The massive growth in U.S. jobs and wages was a result.  We also had an unprecedented period of deflationary pricing.  Things were, well, economically astoundingly good for American workers.

As a direct consequence China, Europe and ASEAN partners who had their foothold in the U.S. economy were weakened.  This made the U.S. (Wall Street) multinational corporations -who rely on outsourcing, offshoring and raw material export- very angry.  The exfiltration of American wealth was halted by Trump.  There were trillions at stake, and many enemies were made because of the America-First agenda.

When President Trump was in office, the media ran a daily narrative about the number of people within the orbit of the White House who contracted COVID-19.  Today the installed spokesperson for the regime, Jennifer Psaki, was asked about the number of vaccinated White House staff who test positive for the virus.  Psaki refused to answer the question saying: “Why do you need that information?”

Can you imagine the backlash if President Trump’s spokesperson gave that answer?

What do you call it when you combine cringe with awkward discomfort?   Whatever it is, this is full of it.

The White House coordinated with CNN to put Joe Biden on stage so that the administration could convey a message of importance to CNN viewers.   The event was so terribly horrible it’s doubtful the person in the White House is still employed.  EXAMPLE WATCH:

[TRANSCRIPT] …”And the question is whether or not we should be in a position where, you, er, um, are why can’t the, um, the experts say we know that this virus is in fact, er, er, um, uh, its this its going to be or, excuse me, we, we, we know why all the drugs approved are not temporary, temporarily approved, but permanently approved.”

.

Also, journalist Jennifer Epstein (Bloomberg News) tweeted out a picture from the camera position, to give her followers an idea of the audience.  Suffice to say, a picture is worth a thousand words.

First, the GOP were foolish, specifically Kevin McCarthy, for agreeing to put any republicans on the January 6th investigative committee in the first place.  It was, and is, transparently obvious that the intent of Speaker Pelosi’s committee was to establish a political framework for  the 2022 election cycle.  Even Reuters pointed this out when they admitted the intent of the committee was to “complicate Republicans’ efforts to win majority control of the House in the 2022 congressional elections.”

Second, there is good news in this echo-chamber move by Pelosi to reject Republican committee members.  The fact that Nancy Pelosi would block any specific members from participating only speaks to the political intent of the committee’s central purpose.  Democrats have a habit of overplaying their hand; however, Republicans are weak in their ability to call it out with the eloquence and exposure it deserves.

In an extreme power move, Nancy Pelosi rejected Representative Jim Jordan (OH) and Representative Jim Banks (IN) from their appointment to the J6 committee. {Read Pelosi Statement Here}: “Monday evening, the Minority Leader recommended 5 Members to serve on the Select Committee. I have spoken with him this morning about the objections raised about Representatives Jim Banks and Jim Jordan and the impact their appointments may have on the integrity of the investigation”, said Pelosi.

In response to Pelosi rejecting Banks and Jordan, the first time Republican committee leaders have been rejected from a sitting sub-committee, House Leader Kevin McCarthy pulled all of the Republican members. [Video Below]

Fox News host Tucker Carlson and Glenn Greenwald discuss the open nature of the White House admitting to a direct collusion between the administration and Big Tech to censor voices opposed to the Biden regime; and the Republicans doing absolutely nothing about it (because the UniParty agrees with it).

*Remember* the Intelligence Branch is specifically made possible by a public-private partnership.  The White House operating in conjunction with Big Tech is a downstream consequence of the Intelligence Community coordinating with the same entities.

Well, well, well…. though financial media will say this is remarkably unexpected, it is something CTH specifically predicted we would see – and it is happening exactly on the timeline CTH anticipated.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics releases the second quarter national wage rate data today {BLS DATA HERE}.  U.S. wages DECLINED 1.2% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to last year.  When reviewing the data [Table 2], look at the negative impact to women, specifically Black and Asian women:

TOP LINE – Combine a 1.2% decline in earned wages with a 5.4% overall inflation rate recently reported {Go Deep},  and what you get is a 6.6% drop in real income amid the working class.  That, my friends, is exactly what we said should be expected.  That is also why the JoeBama administration needs to pump more money into the system (human infrastructure spending) in order to stop people from realizing just how bad it is.

You cannot have declining wages and massive inflation and expect the middle-class to survive.  Additionally, when I said six weeks ago that we had just passed peak home value, this is another data point to bolster that prediction.  We are in a plateau period on macro-level real home values, from this point they start dropping.  You cannot have near double digit drops in real income and simultaneously expect people to afford high mortgages.  It just doesn’t happen.

President Trump spokesperson Liz Harrington and Arizona GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward appear on Newsmax to discuss the preliminary results of the Maricopa County audit.

Ms Harrington calls out weak republicans in both Michigan and Wisconsin for not taking any action to review the election issues in Wayne County and Milwaukee respectively.  (Rumble Link) WATCH:

The Biden regime is becoming increasingly unstable as they attempt to keep control over the American people.   During a terse exchange today, spokesperson Jen Psaki attempts to justify the White House surveillance of American speech saying the Facebook platform users should be “more concerned” with people dying from COVID than having their community speech monitored by the federal government.

When questioned about the U.S. Federal Government now openly admitting Big Brother is watching you, the regime defender responds: “They are more concerned about that, than people dying across the country because of a pandemic where misinformation is traveling on social media platforms?” Continuing with, “That feels unlikely to me, if you have the data to back that up I’m happy to discuss it.”

Fox News journalist Peter Ducey asked the regime to name the 12 people on Facebook the White House has identified as problematic for the interests of the state; however, the spokesperson refused to name them, obviously and transparently fearing a lawsuit.

The legal authority for the White House to conduct social media surveillance, and then identify the speech of a dozen Americans they dislike; and then request Big Tech to target those voices, is a brutally obvious first amendment issue.  WATCH:

Do not overlook the panic in the position of Psaki.  Due to the echo-chambering effect of discussions only with fellow travelers in media, the regime has not appropriately considered the ramifications of their open admissions.  The need for control is a reaction to fear, and the White House is increasingly defensive.

Baselines are always important when reviewing information; I cannot stress this enough.  When the corrupt instititional officials within the DOJ and FBI need to justify their corrupt activity, or get out in front of any exposure of their corrupt activity, they consistently run to two media outlets, The New York Times and Politico.  [State Dept use CNN, Intelligence Community use Washington Post]  This is the one constant you will notice in all reporting.

That is the baseline for Politico writing today about U.S. Attorney David Weiss intentionally burying information about an investigation of Hunter Biden in the summer and fall of 2020 in order to protect the candidacy of Joe Biden.  USAO Weiss of Delaware stopped the investigation of Hunter Biden, stopped issuing grand jury subpoenas, and stopped the issuance of search warrants in order to keep the public from knowing that Hunter Biden was under a criminal investigation.

~ Two Tiers of Justice ~

Contrast that –now confirmed– defensive activity, with these exact same DOJ and FBI officials leaking everything they could about investigations of Donald Trump, or anyone in Trump’s orbit, even when those investigative statements were false, in order to undermine his candidacy and presidency.

This glaring contrast is one of the most brutally obvious examples of political manipulation within the DOJ as an institution.  Two solid and confirmed tiers of justice.

POLITICO (with the DOJ spin) – Last summer, federal officials in Delaware investigating Hunter Biden faced a dilemma. The probe had reached a point where prosecutors could have sought search warrants and issued a flurry of grand jury subpoenas. Some officials involved in the case wanted to do just that. Others urged caution. They advised Delaware’s U.S. Attorney, David Weiss, to avoid taking any actions that could alert the public to the existence of the case in the middle of a presidential election.

Arizona GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward provides an update tonight by recapping the Arizona Senate hearing today that exposed stunning election malfeasance in the Maricopa County ballot audit.   There is much more yet to come from the forensic audit finding, but the results so far show a significant collapse in voter integrity in the largest county vote.

As Ms. Ward notes, “This matter is far from over“….. There will be much more to come. Video Below:

The unmatched duplicated ballots (lacking a serial number) points to a similar issue discovered in Fulton County, Georgia, with double counted ballots.  The fact that the total number of ballots counted does not match the certified Maricopa County election results is again another big red flag.

The 70,000 mail-in ballots received that surpass the number of mail-in ballots mailed, points to someone photocopying ballots on regular paper stock.  That would also explain the lack of chain-of-custody documents for both the paper-stock and the scanned ballots.  Adding to the photocopied ballot likelihood is that some ballots showed ink bleed-through on the paper from one side to the other.

There are many issues identified, and we haven’t yet got to the “ballot mule” process.  Biden did not win the election, it’s all starting to come out.
