Happy Labor Day, Scruffnecks! …. and that has nothing to do with the color of your collar.

I’ve sent this message before, and I repeat it because the one consistency in this crazy world of ours is our ability to remember that not a single person has the power to destabilize us.  Everything of great purpose comes from within, and from a loving God. As Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn famously said:

“The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie. One word of truth outweighs the world.”

Yes, it’s Labor Day in America. And as we pause and celebrate work, productivity, problem solving, and the value of a nation, our nation, built upon boundless ingenuity – so long as we tend the flickering flame of liberty and freedom, to all my brothers and sisters who do not take part in the grand lies that surround us, here’s my steadfast reminder….

No other nation on earth was ever conceived on the principle of allowing people to manifest their own destiny, while keeping government out of their lives.  The vision, the premise and the purpose, was to allow you the freedom to determine your place in life; and even, at any time, change that determination and strike off in an entirely new direction.

Our labor and aspirations would not be pre-determined by caste, tier, creed or social status; but rather by our personal vision for our own future.  The right of self-determination.

Labor Day is a time to reflect on the value of work; the great personal benefit of endeavors achieved; the pride in accomplishment -regardless of scale- amid this thing we call life; and all of these considerations have absolutely nothing, not-one-thing, to do with the money we assemble in the process.

What is the current value of a former seed that became a tree nurtured toward its continued maturity over decades?  What was that seed worth at the time it was planted?  We can only see the value in hindsight many years later.  What value lay in the blood at Fort McHenry?

The job, per se’, was simple.  Hold the flagpole in place.  Keep that representative flag held high, no matter the cost.  And yet, that cost, my God THAT COST, could it ever be quantified appropriately?   A simple yet consequential task that expressed the fullest measure of devotion to the underlying premise, freedom.  America!

Representing Hamas and Kamala Harris respectively, NBC host Kirsten Welker invited Senator Tom Cotton to a debate.  Ms Welker asked Senator Cotton questions from a position of support to both Hamas terrorists and the Kamala Harris campaign.  Despite the framework, Senator Cotton stayed on point and eviscerated the narrative engineering as it was put in front of him.

Hamas killed 6 innocent hostages, Welker, on behalf of Harris, tries to blame Benjamin Netanyahu.

Mrs Welker is flummoxed by President Trump’s pragmatic position on abortion (let states decide) and sets out to make the abortion issue of great value to Democrats.   Getting no narrative engineering value from the abortion effort, Welker then switches topics to IVF treatment.  Unfortunately, Cotton gave Welker no benefit in that topic either.

Frustrated and needing to get something, anything, for the DNC print operatives to write about, Welker switches the conversation to President Trump visiting Arlington National Cemetary as requested by ‘Gold Star’ families of fallen service members.  WATCH:

Continuing in the series of articles around the challenge to Trump staffing in 2025, we now shift focus to the FBI Director, Deputy Director and Chief Legal Counsel positions. However, in order to appropriately discuss this critical silo, it becomes very important for everyone to understand the current status of the FBI as the organization has self-identified.

For those who followed the 2016 campaign of President Trump and then watched the 2017 attacks organized by the DOJ and FBI toward the incoming Trump administration, you may agree with me that a complete disassembly of the FBI is now warranted. I will walk through the process, but first it is important to understand just how bad the corruption has become:

RECAP: The FBI relationship with Antifa is exactly what we have previously discussed on these pages.  There is no way for Antifa to operate as a domestic extremist group, without the expressed support and willful blindness of the FBI.  Quite simply if the FBI wanted to stop the violent and extremist activity of Antifa, they could do that easily.

Remember, the objective of the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago was to resecure what they perceived as physical evidence President Trump controlled showing how the DOJ and FBI action in 2016 was targeting him using the power of their law enforcement and intelligence agencies.   In the background, the origination of all the DOJ/FBI/IC targeting goes back to the ’15/’16 FBI exploitation of the NSA database; this is not a contested discussion issue – it’s just continually forgotten.

The FBI was using their access to the NSA metadata of all Americans, to conduct surveillance on political candidates that might be a threat to the power structures that exploited the secrets within the electronic records of all Americans.  The FBI was, almost certainly still is, conducting domestic surveillance and tracking Americans just like the German Stasi or Soviet KGB.  It’s still happening, but we are not supposed to talk about it, or something.

The raid on Mar-a-Lago, just like the Robert Mueller investigation, was part of a long standing coverup operation.  The FBI was looking for what Trump took with him as evidence of the weaponized system that targeted him.  The FBI wanted that back.  The FBI was willing to use deadly force to get it back if that’s what it took.

Tonight, President Trump holds a Town Hall event in La Crosse, Wisconsin, at 7:00pm EDT.

The recent emphasis of the Trump campaign has been to highlight the contrast between candidate Donald Trump willing to appear in every venue to debate the issues and policies of the day, versus the installed Democrat candidate Kamala Harris who needs to hide and remain silent to avoid people seeing her ineptitude.

UPDATE: Video Added

President Trump was asked his opinion about Kamala Harris refusing to answer media questions, appear for press conferences, or sit down for media interviews.

President Trump immediately pointed out the negotiated terms for Kamala Harris interview with CNN (broadcasts tonight), includes the interview being pre-taped with edits and campaign approvals.

“Why isn’t it live? It’s an interview that’s going to be taped, edited, and then put out. That’s not even an interview. And then she’s doing it with her Vice President sitting there. So she’s not very smart. When they ask her a question she can’t answer, she’s just going to look at him.”

RFK Jr did a solid interview with Dr. Phil that deserves some attention for a few reasons.  The interview is about a week old and took place immediately following RFK’s announcement to exit.

First, BIG SMILE.  Considering the timing, logistical coordination and location analysis of both Trump and RFK Jr’s interview with Dr Phil, CTH can now assert with assurance the rollout of the Kennedy dropout, transition, MAGA endorsement and subsequent public information therein, was in the works for a long time before it became public.

The Trump campaign had this RFK Jr MAGA entry in the works as part of the post DNC-Chicago strategy. Dr Phil was/is a planned and agreed participant in the rollout.  The construct and the timeline also align with Corey Lewandowski rejoining the Trump campaign as a senior advisor shortly before the MAGA “unity” merge.

The fact that we can now see this as a long-planned and intentionally organized rollout operation is a good thing, a very good thing.  That reality mitigates, but doesn’t eliminate, the IC influence concern.

Additionally, many within our community of CTH Treepers travel the deep weeds of political research, and our collective commentary is read by a wide swath of well-known political analysts and media pundits.  The answers given by RFK Jr during the Dr Phil interview provide solid affirmation for positions we eventually took in prior discussions.

Second, within this specific segment, RFK Jr is talking about his decision to exit the race.  Kennedy admits from the inception of his campaign he has always pulled more votes from Donald Trump (57%) than he did from the Democrat nominee (Biden or Harris).   This is a point that was debated on these pages for quite some time; we can now put the argument away.

In the 2024 election, RFK Jr’s presence hurt President Trump more than Biden/Harris.  This is just a datapoint: From the outset Kennedy always knew he was hurting Trump and assisting Biden/Harris through his candidacy.  This is not to present anything controversial about his recent decision to exit and endorse Trump, nor is the highlight intended to diminish RFK Jr., this reality is simply just a datapoint to consider.  RFK Jr always knew he was hurting President Trump more than helping Joe Biden (or Kamala).

In the final minutes, Kennedy opened up to Dr. Phil about why he not only endorsed President Trump but also decided to actively campaign for him.

His first reason was clear: he’s terrified of a potential Walz-Harris administration, which he believes is on “the wrong side” of… pic.twitter.com/gVewErneYy

Third, if you have followed the Trump campaign and family closely, you will note the MAGA issue of chronic childhood disease; as it relates to the issue “Make America Healthy Again” being at the forefront of President Donald Trump’s thinking as a policy initiative; comes from one place, Melania Trump.  President Donald Trump did not have an epiphany on an issue close to the heart of RFK Jr., Melania Trump has been quietly focused on the issues around childhood illnesses and environmental impacts for a long time. With the First Lady as the strong counsellor of record that truly matters, it makes sense for a positive, personal influence.

I’m not surprised, I’m just angry.  According to Kevin Rojek, the head of the FBI’s Pittsburgh Field Office leading the investigation into the attempted assassination of President Trump, Matthew Crooks acted alone -no coconspirators- and the FBI has no idea what his motive was.

According to the representative for the “best men” the Federal Bureau of Investigation has, Crooks might have been a leftist or a far-right extremist, they are just not sure.

What the FBI does know is that no one taught or helped Crooks make complicated explosives, and they are sure he acted alone… for some mysterious reason…. that culminated in a bullet passing through the top of President Trump’s right ear.

The pretending that permeates the FBI is infuriating to me. It is almost difficult to write or share this stuff.

WASHINGTON – Six weeks after the assassination attempt against Donald Trump, the FBI still doesn’t know what motivated the shooter.

“Extensive analysis of the subject’s online search history as well as his specific online activity has provided us valuable insight into his mindset, but not a definitive motive,” Kevin Rojek, the head of the FBI’s Pittsburgh Field Office, told reporters Wednesday.

So far, he added, the FBI sees “no definitive ideology … either left-leaning or right-leaning” associated with the shooter, Thomas Crooks.

The lawyers representing the campaign of Robert F Kennedy Jr have successfully removed RFK Jr from the ballot in Nevada after coming to an agreement yesterday with DNC lawyers who were suing to keep him off the ballot.

Essentially, team RFK JR just dropped their argument, acquiesced to the DNC position and the judge dismissed the case with prejudice. That removes RFK Jr from Nevada.  [Filing Here] This is the same process the lawyers used to get Kennedy off the ballot in Pennsylvania.

That said, Michigan and Wisconsin are not removing Robert F Kennedy Jr from those state ballots.

MICHIGAN – […] Kennedy is on the ballot in Michigan as a candidate for the Natural Law Party, which nominated him at its convention earlier this year. Cheri Hardmon, a spokesperson for the Michigan secretary of state’s office, confirmed to NBC News that “minor party candidates cannot withdraw, so his name will remain on the ballot in the November election.

WISCONSIN – […]  In Wisconsin, the state’s election commission met Tuesday to certify ballot access for presidential and vice presidential candidates. Even though Kennedy requested to withdraw his nomination petition as an independent candidate, the commission ultimately voted to decline that request, according to an archived video of the proceedings published by WisconsinEye, a nonprofit public affairs network.

“The statute literally says, ‘Any person who files nomination papers and qualifies to appear on the ballot may not decline nomination. The name of that person shall appear upon the ballot except in case of death of the person,'” Ann Jacobs, the chair of the commission, said to another commissioner struggling with the idea of keeping someone on the ballot who didn’t want to move forward with his candidacy.

“You’re giving me this touchy, feely: ‘I feel like this shouldn’t be the law.’ The law in this case is crystal clear,” she added. “I don’t disagree with you it’s weird but I don’t see we have any discretion here.” (MORE)

♦ SUMMARY: RFK Jr is gone from ballots in the battleground states of Arizona, Pennsylvania and now Nevada.  Not Michigan and Wisconsin.
