The House of Representatives formally transmitted the Housing Act bill to President Trump last week. The delivery sets in motion a 10-day period where the bill becomes law without action from the president.

The legislation goes into effect at midnight tonight.

PRESIDENT TRUMP – “I will not sign the Housing Bill, which has been fully approved by Congress and sent to the White House, in PROTEST over the fact that the United States Senate is not capable of passing THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, which is polling at 97% with the Republican Party, and very high with the non-politician Dumocrats. The Act states, quite simply, that to Vote a person must show PHOTO VOTER I.D., PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP, AND THAT THERE WILL BE NO MORE CROOKED, CORRUPT, & DESTABILIZING MAIL-IN BALLOTS (EXCEPTIONS for Military, Disabled, Illness, and Travel!). THE SAVE AMERICA ACT’S non-passage is CRAZY, and a serious threat to any politician who votes against it!

If the Dumocrats, or any RINO (or worse!) working with them, do not allow a positive Vote on SAVE AMERICA, TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER, and pass this, and every other Bill that true Republicans have ever dreamt of (In addition to the upcoming Budget BOMB and the 1929 catastrophic style DEBT CEILING BILL!). The Dumocrats will TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER, if and when they ever get the chance to do so, in their very first hour – And I will no longer be able to call them Dumocrats again! The title of DUMB will revert to the Republicans who allowed this horrible calamity to happen to our Party, and our Nation, itself! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

~ President DONALD J. TRUMP

At the same time as Dept of Labor Inspector General Anthony D’Esposito launches an investigation into H1B visa abuses by corporations who engaged in visa fraud, Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh appoints advisors to the FED on labor policy that includes one of the most egregious violators of H1B fraud, XBox CEO Asha Sharma.

It is beyond frustrating to see our labor system for ‘qualified technical positions’ being abused by companies who are intentionally discriminating against American workers.

American born Asha Sharma was the former VP at Facebook during their $14M settlement with DOJ for discriminating against American workers.  Now as CEO of Microsoft XBox gaming, she has announced the termination of around 3,200 employees while Microsoft, company-wide, filed 2,879 Labor Condition Application for H-1B positions in fiscal year 2026.

There is a pattern at work within the high-tech industry where corporations factor in the price of lawsuits as a cost of doing business, a cost-effective way to continue discriminating against American workers.  Obviously, they deny this practice, yet the transparent visibility of the practice continuing tell a more honest story.

Into this mix, Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh announces an advisory network of business and economic leaders to help guide FED policy on a variety of subjects. [CITATION] Within the Productivity and Jobs taskforce, Asha Sharma surfaces as an advisor “to inform the Federal Reserve’s policy judgments.”

An interesting report from Bloomberg following a survey conducted by KPMG of Canadian manufacturers.  Keep in mind this is a survey of companies within Canada that do traditional manufacturing of products; this is not a survey of companies that assemble foreign goods for export – there is a substantial difference.

As noted within the report, approximately 10% of Canadian GDP comes from Canadian manufacturing.  Within that sector there are multiple companies now planning or considering moving out of Canada into the United States.

Many will claim the trigger for the consideration is based on the potential elimination of the USMCA (CUSMA) trade agreement, and there is truth to that aspect.  However, the systemic issues within Canada -including energy policy, regulation and corporate tax burdens- represent the larger problem; the termination of the USMCA is the straw that breaks their back.

The domestic hurdles to manufacturing, are the bigger issues that cannot be negotiated away in U.S-Canada trade agreements.  Specifically, the low-price and stable energy policies are the core consistencies that are no longer present in Canada; that fundamental cannot be easily fixed.

BLOOMBERG – […] KPMG Canada said on Tuesday that 42 per cent of Canadian manufacturing companies indicated they have or are considering moving production to the United States. Of those considering relocating, 77 per cent expect to make the transition within the next two years.

[…] the issues go beyond the trade situation though, with Canada needing to create a competitive environment for manufacturers to grow.

FISA 702 authorization from congress expired June 12, 2026.  The world did not end, despite the predictions and proclamations from the DC proletariat and narrative engineers.

However, despite the statutory expiration, the intelligence collection continues under the FISA Court’s annual certifications, which were renewed in March 2026 and remain valid through March 2027. {citation}

The annual certifications allow the government to continue collecting communications from foreign targets and querying the Section 702 database, including incidental U.S. communications, without interruption.

Essentially, the surveillance program operates on a separate “certification clock” that is independent of Congress’s statutory timeline. That’s a remarkable workaround.

In ancillary news, I will be offline most of the day as it is a pre-scheduled travel day. I will catch up later tonight.

Returning to the U.S. following the 2026 NATO Summit in Ankara, Turkey, President Trump delivered remarks to the traveling press pool on a variety of subjects.

President Trump noted there was not a security issue surrounding the decision to switch AF1 in the U.K, gave remarks about the top-line issues from the NATO summit, said he had no information about Senator Mitch McConnell health and clarified that Spain had changed their tone in order to avoid a trade embargo.  WATCH:

President Trump noted the original intent of NATO was a defensive treaty against Soviet aggression. As a consequence of the construct the Europeans should always bear the brunt of responsibility for their collective defense.  Russia does not represent a threat to the United States.

UPDATE: During a video on X, Graham Platner has resigned.

Most people understand the dynamic with Graham Platner has come down to price.  How much are the Communists going to have to pay to get the Nazi rapist to leave the Maine senatorial race.
