Former DNI Tulsi Gabbard Outlines the Mechanics of the Deep State

July 2, 2026 | Sundance |

Former Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, gives a speech outlining the mechanics of the Deep State and how the people within it operate.

Ataround 3:30 of the presentation, Gabbard gives a specific example of the attitude of the employees on assignment to the ODNI. Obviously, I am not certain, but Tulsi seems to be describing the FBI liaison desk within the DNI as she explains how this federal government employee refuses to participate in the DNI request.Listen and you gain an appreciation of the challenge that exists for any appointed leadership.

Chancellor Friedrich Merz Delivers Statement of Immediately Mandated Government Reforms to German Workforce(Merz’s father was leader in Hitler’s war. Many Germans had fathers as soldier of the war).

July 2, 2026 | Sundance |

This next storyline needs context to understand appropriately what just happened.

In February of this year, German Chancellor FriedrichMerz travelled for the first time in his business and life to China. Merz a lawyer by training, worked in business andcorporate life doing mergers and acquisitions (Blackrock), but had never been to China. Despite his upward climb in German politics,his worldview was always dominated by an internal acceptance that Germany was the industrial heart of the European Union.

Chancellor Merz believed that Germany was unrivaled within industrial manufacturing, particularly in aeronautics and mechanical engineering (auto sector). So,when Merz went to China -while he held no trade capabilitiesas an outcome of the EU collective controlling everything-he also had no idea what Chinese industrial capacitary actually looked like.

To say Chancellor Merz was stunned by the advancements in robotics and industrial manufacturing within China would be an understatement. Merz was shocked not only by the technological capability,but also by the Chinese industrial work ethic and capabilities of the workforce.

Merz returned to Germany and immediately began discussing how Chinese industrial capacity was far beyond anything he previously estimated.Merz was shook. His reaction was, essentially,the #1 industrial nation within the EU confronting a reality of years of industrial complacency. Immediately he began talking about how things in Germany must change;how the German workforce must immediately start to get serious about productivity and production capacity.

That was late February and early March.

Today, Friedrich Merz announced a series of reforms, radical modificationswithin the German industrial workforce.

German workers are no longer allowed to call in sick. The German government will now adopt a policy to make sure all workers report to their jobs, or else.

The German workforce may not like this at all.

There is a certain,shall we say, “Fascist irony,”when you think about mandated private sector productivity compliance and the relationship with official government policy.

Germany’s coalition government has announced a wide-ranging package of pension, tax and labor reforms aimed at boosting economic growth and strengthening competitiveness. Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the measures would create jobs, reduce bureaucracy and preserve key social welfare protections.

The 34-point plan includes income tax relief for low- and middle-income households as wellas a gradual increase in the retirement age.

Calling in sick is getting harder in Germany | DW News

Chancellor Merz has criticized Germany's sick-leave rate as too high in the past and announced measures to bring it down — sparking a heated debate in the country.

Today, the governing coalition presented them as part of a broader reform package: ending sick‑leave requests made by phone and introducing the requirement to obtain a doctor’s note from the first day of absence.

Two Politically Pretentious Canadians Interview U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra

July 2, 2026 | Sundance1/3

I’ve said it before, U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra is the most underpaid U.S. emissary sent to a hostile nation and constantly surrounded by threats, bitterness, anger and hatred.

It would be easier to be U.S. ambassador to North Korea.

There is so much nuance inside this interview, it is remarkable.

Ambassador Hoekstra tries in his best diplomatic form to tell the two Canadians Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charleboisabout the underlying nature of the U.S-Canada trade conflicts. However, in typical Canadian fashion both indoctrinated interviewers are curiously stumped by the points Hoekstra presents.I am prompting this one because you also need to see the body/facial language.WATCH:

What does the future hold for the Canada-U.S. relationship?

37:46

In this exclusive conversation on The Food Professor Podcast, hosts Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois sit down with U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra for an in-depth discussionon one of the most consequential economic relationships in the world.

While political headlines often dominate the conversation,this interview focuses on what matters most to producers, retailers and food businesses: trade, agriculture, supply chains and economic prosperity.

In the Canadian conference room, someone tells the group a six-month exit is now active. The walls are slowly closing.

If no terms are accepted, in six months all U.S. trade with Canada is immediately laissez-faire, no trade agreement backstops anything, meaning every trade is subject to the sectoral whims of the USA commerce department to outline the terms.

Carney asks his team what is happening. Trump tells them to take all the time in the world to think about it, and to give Jamieson or Howard a call if they have questions.

Trump and Greer then hold a press conference, telling the world the formal exit paperwork has now been issued. However, the U.S and Mexico already have a bilateral deal outlined and ready to begin, so U.S-Mexico trade is seamless. The only issue is Canada.

The following day analysts, economists, banking and finance experts begin running the numbers for Canada…… A slow and unstable Canadian economy collapse begins first with a run on the banks by Canadian dollar holders. Everyone needs to buy USD.

Europe and the U.K try to step in to assist by buying Canadian treasuries, but the risk is astronomical.

75% of Canada’s economy is based on trade that is now uncertain.

Suddenly the team around Carney look at things differently. They realize Canada doesn’t sell 75% of their output to the USA; the USA buys 75% of Canadian output.

In every economic relationship, the seller has no leverage. All leverage belongs to the buyer.

The seller can sell anything, but without buyers they are nothing. In a laissez-faire system suddenly U.S. buyers start to dictate terms and prices. The seller has no option. Life inside Canada is FUBAR.

The Chinese move quickly, buying up Canadian holdings for pennies on the ever-diminishing CAD.

The ‘shoe drops’ sometime after July 20th.

Canada cannot see the gauntlet.

♦Canadians will willingly want China to buy their assets instead of Americans.

Why?Because the Canadian identity is defined by their main focus on ‘not being American.’ It’s all they know.

I can tell you specifically how it will materialize if you want, because I have already gamed this out. You might even make some money if you pay attention.

Toyota and Honda will do exactly what they have said they will do; they will exit Canadian manufacturing.

With full approval by Carney and the Canadian government, BYD and Geely will step in, purchase and take over those manufacturing plants to create vehicles in Canada (pennies on the CAD).

Canada will cheer because they will believe they just saved all those auto sector jobs. However, a few reality months later and suddenly it is all Chinese industrial operations bringing in Chinese workers to retool the factories.

Canada will end up paying unemployment benefits to Canadian workers, while Chinese factory workers prepare the facilities to manufacture BYD and Geely autos. The Canadian people will grit their teeth, yet do nothing because they accept their provincial government has already been corrupted by Chinese money.

Carney just screwed Canada in the biggest way possible. Now they will have buy all their stuff from China!

PS: Trump still wants Canada in the US, only Trump can save them, possibly.

U.S Trade Representative Jamieson Greer Discusses Economy and USMCA

July 2, 2026 | Sundance |

Appealing almost entirely to an audience that doesn’t recognize the issues that really matter,Fox News has the opportunity to discuss U.S. trade policy with Jamieson Greer yet flubs the entire interview.

Instead of asking about the USMCA withdrawal announcementand the ongoing trade discussions with Mexico, the Fox Newspundits misdirect Greer’s expertise and ask questions about the jobs report, the Federal Reserve and the Democrat Socialists of America in elections==. Seriously, no joke.

When serious people remark that Fox News is nothing except propaganda for out of touch ‘boomers’ (a pejorative),this Fox News interview is a case studyin why many people now hold that opinion. It’s difficult to argue they’re wrong.

That said, within the one minute where trade was actually discussed, USTR Jamieson Greer points out that many Democrats and many Republicans are completely in favor of eliminating the USTR and resetting the baseline of North American trade. This is a key point, because within the economic policy issues the left-right dynamic should not be the prism that matters. Remember, MAGA and the Bernie Bros agreed on 80% of the economic problem.

Paramedics responded to a ‘cardiac arrest’ at Mitch McConnell’s home on day of hospitalization

McConnell’s office said Thursday that he is still in the hospital. It hasn’t disclosed why he was admitted June 14.

Paramedics conducted CPR on a person experiencing a “cardiac arrest” at a known address for Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., on the day his office disclosed he had been hospitalized, according to police scanner audio obtained by NBC News.

According to the audio, the first medic on the scene began performing CPR, according to the dispatchers, and was then joined by an additional EMS team at the same address.

McConnell’s office, which has not disclosed why he was hospitalized, referred NBC News to a June 22 statement when it was asked about the audio Wednesday.

“Senator McConnell is still working closely with staff on Senate business and Kentucky matters as he continues his recovery. However, he will not be voting this week,” said the statement, from spokesman David Popp.

On Thursday, a spokesperson saidMcConnell remains hospitalized.

“Senator McConnell appreciates the outpouring of support he’s receiving while he continues his recovery in the hospital,” the spokesperson said in a statement. “The Senator continues to improve, and is working closely with his staff on Kentucky and Senate matters while the Senate is out of session.”

Punchbowl News previously reported on the response by paramedics.

McConnell’s office said in a short statement June 14: “Senator McConnell was admitted to the hospital this morning. He is receiving excellent care.”He has not been seen since he was hospitalized.

McConnell, 84, has faced a slew of health issues in recent years. He was hospitalized for more than a week this year with “flu-like symptoms,” and three years ago he tripped at a Washington dinner, after which he was hospitalized with a concussion.

In 2019, he fractured a shoulder when he fell at home.

McConnell raised eyebrows when he froze on camera multiple times in 2023, seemingly unable to answer reporters’ questions immediately.

McConnell, who was first elected in 1984, was the Senate Republican leader from 2007 to 2025, making him the chamber’s longest-serving party leader. He announced last year that he would not seek re-election.

I wonder if he’s dead, or very close.
