Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Canada Accepts They’re Not Going to Get a Trade Deal Before 35% Tariffs Kick In

I’ll repeat it as much as needed, until it sinks in.

The U.S-Canada trade deal status is simply a no-brainer. President Trump will answer questions about Canada and tariffs, he’ll put people into seats to discuss trade with the Canadian delegation, and he’ll give every outward appearance of being favorable to Prime Minister Mark Carney…. BUT…

In the background, Trump is simply waiting for the USMCA timeline to trigger a renegotiation. President Donald Trump is ambivalent to the trade partnership with Canada. This moot-status reality is why there’s no substantive engagement.

‘No deal’ -until USMCA redo- is a win for President Trump.

For some bizarre reason that I simply cannot fathom, almost every Canadian politician seems entirely oblivious to this reality. Instead, Canadian Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc and Mark Carney’s chief-of-staff, Marc-André Blanchard are once again coming to DC to ride their bicycles in slow circles at the bottom of the White House driveway while staring in the windows.

An article in Politico notes the Canadian premiers are now accepting the August 1st deadline will pass without any agreement, and the 35% reciprocal tariffs on non-USMCA products (meaning a lot of stuff) is going to trigger.

Literally, everything from Canada that has a non-USMCA component is going to be tariffed. Think about all the stuff from China, Asia (writ large) and Europe that Canada assembles for finished goods. All of that stuff will be subject to the tariffs.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard Responds to Former President Obama’s Denials and Deflection

Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, responds to the deflection and denial of weaponized government and intelligence agencies by former President Barack Obama.

As noted in the comments by DNI Tulsi Gabbard, “Led by President Obama, there was an effort to create a document that would serve as a foundation for what would be a years-long coup against President Trump.”

While it is unlikely any of the evidence currently in the record will lead to accountability upon President Obama himself, there is much easier legal exposure underneath him amid the underlings that carried out the operation.

Susan Rice is first and foremost at risk along with former White House Counsel Katheryn Ruemmler.  Interestingly, Ruemmler became Susan Rice’s personal attorney after the Obama administration ended.   Both Rice and Ruemmler are on record denying knowledge of the FBI investigation of President Trump.

According to the newly declassified and released documents, and according to congressional testimony by FBI Director James Comey on March 20, 2017, both Rice and Ruemmler lied about their knowledge.

President Trump Takes Aim at Former President Barack Obama for Targeting Him After 2016 Election

Speaking about the information released last week by Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, President Trump concurs with the big picture overview that President Obama was involved and responsible for the targeting of him during the 2016 election and beyond.  WATCH:

Beyond the targeting by the Obama administration, what President Trump says about the 2020 election is entirely accurate. One of the primary reasons CTH and those voices who are deep weeds researchers were targeted for removal by DHS using Big Tech, was entirely to stop the information about the rigged and fraudulent 2020 election.

Hundreds of key voices silenced, deplatformed, removed from visibility and forced to reorganize under different platform and systems.  Thousands of patriotic Americans were black-listed and had their social media accounts removed during the operation.

DHS was directly involved with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Google and many others during this unprecedented information control operation.   I reemphasize this now, because CTH is going to be talking about this very soon in detail, because all indications are there’s another operation being planned for 2028. But that’s for another day.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Discusses Current Status of Trade Negotiations

We are approximately 10 days away from the baseline and reciprocal trade tariffs taking place on August 1, 2025.  The U.S. economy is strengthening; inflation is not a factor, and the existing tariffs are bringing in a tremendous amount of revenue.

The most difficult trade deal to make is with the European Union as Secretary Bessent notes.  It is unlikely that any trade agreement with the EU will be reached because the EU has all the benefits and no desire to lose their status (ie. Marshal Plan).
