    Mexico Blinked

    I’m sure you are all aware of the Tariff war taking place in North America as President Trump works to secure the borders of our country. He ordered that tariffs of 25% be implemented on imports from both of our neighbors, Canada and Mexico, to get them to secure their sides of the border.

    Well, the day before the levy was to go into Force, leftist Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has blinked. She agreed to move some 10,000 troops to the border area to help with security there.

    The agreement between Sheinbaum and Trump pauses the implementation of the tariffs. This short term agreement allows for more structured and detailed negotiations to occur. Hopefully this will lead to a permanent solution to the porous southern Border.

    The tariffs would have wreaked havoc with the Mexican economy. The US is Mexico’s largest trade partner with some $798 billion in bilateral trade. Last year, Mexico exported some $500.7 billion worth of goods to the US. That total is around 80% of all of Mexico’s exports. It’s also around a quarter of the total Mexican GDP of $1.8 trillion.

    I hope that Canadian Premier Justin Trudeau has as effective of advisors around him as Sheinbaum does. We all know he isn’t smart enough to figure this kind of thing out on his own. The Canadian dollar has already started to plummet in value vs the US dollar. The exchange rate has declined by 1.432% compared to its value 7 days ago.

    Muckraker: Entire Illegal Alien Pipeline Revealed

    The Senate immigration bill, aka border security bill, is only designed as the cover for the Senate to send $60 billion more to Ukraine.  The Ukraine money is the priority (corps/lobbyists) the border “security” bill is the technique to create and spend it.

    That said, they certainly would not want to let a created and purposeful border crisis go to waste, and they didn’t.  The latest version of the Senate Immigration Reform Bill is now public [SEE HERE].  The proposed Senate border security bill provisions are actually worse than existing non-secure border provisions.

    [LINK TO BILL]

    America First Legal did a great job hitting on the top-line issues created by this new bill.  In many ways, multiple ways, this supplemental “border security” bill makes things worse.  The bill codifies into law the loopholes currently being used to increase the number of illegal aliens.  By this design the bill makes things worse.

    Opinion: The focus of this thread is the Southern Border. I’ve also been watching CBN (Christian Broadcasting Network); who is providing live coverage of the Trucker Rally. They are maintaining an approximate thirty mile distance from the border crossing at Eagle Pass, yet continue to show support. Also, this most recent report from Streiff with Red State further elaborates on the analysis by America First Legal’s opinion.

    There was a shooting today at a school in Iowa. The first calls reporting the shooting at Perry High School went out at 7:37 am. Details are thin, but at least two people have been hospitalized with gunshot wounds and the shooter is dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. It is being reported that the shooter has been identified, but I will not use the name. It seems the shooter was lgbtq, and posts on their now deleted social media paint a disturbing picture.

    https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1742973407648498022?s=20

    How long before this whole incident gets memory-holed? The shooters socials have already been scrubbed. I’d also point out that there have been several other mass shooters from that segment of society and they’ve been scrubbed/memory-holed as well. Seems if the shooter can’t advance an agenda the MSM drops it like a hot rock.


    The Islamic State took credit for the twin blasts along a processional route to the Kerman cemetery in Iran. IS, also known as daesh and ISIS, posted a statement on it’s telegram channels that said two IS members had detonated their explosive belts in the crowd which had gathered at the cemetery in the southeastern Iranian city of Kerman on Wednesday for the anniversary of Soleimani’s death.

    I said yesterday that the blasts were likely to have been dissident groups in/from Iran. I didn’t expect daesh to take the credit though. This isn’t the first time the Sunni daesh attacked the Shia Iranians. In 2022 Islamic State claimed responsibility for a deadly attack on a Shi’ite shrine in Iran which killed 15 people. The also targeted the tomb of the Islamic Republic’s founder, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in 2017. Hopefully, it won’t be the last time. Frankly, it does my heart good to see one tribe of goat fuckers blow up the other tribe.


    The still unidentified good guy with a gun from that robbery/shooting in a Houston Taqueria has just been ‘no-billed’ by a Harris county grand jury. That means the man will not face any charges as a result of the incident.

    The Harris County District Attorney’s Office mandates that all homicides be reviewed by a grand jury to allow members of the community to determine the appropriate outcome. This process ensures that all such cases are subject to community review at the grand jury and, if necessary, trial level.

    Harris County grand juries are composed of 12 randomly selected residents who meet regularly for a period of three months to review all criminal charges to decide whether there is enough evidence for a case to proceed. If nine or more grand jurors agree that probable cause exists, they issue a “true bill,” or indictment, and the case continues on through the criminal justice system. 

    If nine or more grand jurors determine probable cause does not exist, they may issue a “no bill,” effectively clearing the individual of criminal wrongdoing. The final decision as to whether to indict rests with grand jurors, not with prosecutors.

    This process ensures that members of the community, rather than the District Attorney’s Office, determine the appropriate outcome in all homicides in Harris County.

    I’m quite sure that Kim Ogg, the Soros backed, Harris county DA would have loved to stick it to this guy. From my perspective, that shooting probably deserved some sort of charge, but what I don’t know. The first 4-5 shots were fine, the next 2-3 were in that gray zone. The last one though, that was the one that probably should have jammed him up. He dodged a figurative bullet with the no bill. . .


    Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and 60 other reps went to the border at Eagle Pass TX yesterday. While they were there, a group of 60ish people crossed the Rio Grande and attempted to enter the US. They were stopped by the concertina wire strung there by the Texas DPS as part of Operation Lone Star.

    I’m only half joking when I say there should be a few CROWS mounted on the US side of the border with some sort of random automated firing order programmed in. For those who don’t know, CROWS is the common remotely operated weapons system and can be fitted with everything from an M-249 SAW to the M-2 to a Mark 19. A few random bursts from time to time might just slow the crossings. . .


    Ok, so this section isn’t going to feature a single story like I usually do. Instead I’m going to rant about the mess that is the Middle East for a few paragraphs.

    Nearly all of the major maritime shipping companies have abandoned the Red Sea/Suez canal routes because of Houthi attacks in the Red and the Bab el Mandeb. US and other western countries troops are being attacked daily. Hezbollah and the Shia militias across the region are getting froggy. Iran is about to have enough properly enriched uranium to assemble their own nukes. And lost in all the other noise, Turkey is pulling some shady shit with the Kurds, in Turkey, Syria and Iraq. They also prevented the Brits from de-mining a section of the Black sea recently.

    And why? Because of the feckless retards in the US NatSec agencies. Let’s be totally honest here, Biden’s hand-picked Iran envoy, Rob Malley, was in the employ of the Ayatollahs. Biden’s NSA, Jake Sullivan, an incredibly, deeply stupid man, is supposedly running the entire Middle East response himself.

    The Houthi aren’t going to stop because of a sternly worded letter. Hell, they probably can’t even read the fucking thing. It’s my understanding the Brits (of all people) wanted to smoke some of that particular tribe of goat fuckers but were told to stand down by Sullivan.

    The problems in that region are going to continue until we finally sack up and lay down some hate. Unfortunately, it’s going to take a direct hit on one of the US warships in the region before the current administration decides to do anything. And even then the response will be “proportional”.

    I say, fuck that. It’s time to send a bunch of them to Allah. Power and strength is all they understand.

    “Too Freaking Late” – Mayorkas Finally Admits “Acute & Immediate Need” To Build Border Wall In Texas

    In a stunning reversal of everything that was said over the last 7 years by the left, and just months after the Biden administration was caught selling portions of Trump’s border wall on a government surplus website, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is citing an “acute and immediate need” to waive dozens of federal laws in order to build a border wall in south Texas as the illegal immigration crisis grows utterly out of control.

    “The Secretary of Homeland Security has determined, pursuant to law, that it is necessary to waive certain laws, regulations, and other legal requirements in order to ensure the expeditious construction of barriers and roads in the vicinity of the international land border in Starr County, Texas,” reads a notice posted to the U.S. Federal Registry that Fox News obtained.

    In light of the surge in illegal immigration, Mayorkas found that there exists an “acute and immediate need to construct physical barriers and roads in the vicinity of the border of the United States in order to prevent unlawful entries into the United States in the project areas.”

    No, this is not Babylon Bee.

    As Ben Whedon reports at JustTheNews.com, The former president’s campaign team took Mayorkas’s decision as a vindication, telling Fox News that:”

    “President Trump is always right. That’s why he built close to 500 miles of powerful new wall on the border and it would have been finished by now. Instead, Crooked Joe Biden turned our country into one giant sanctuary for dangerous criminal aliens.”

    In total, Mayorkas plans to waive a total of 26 federal laws to expedite construction.

    It’s going to fun to see the Democrats and their MSM lackeys squirm out of this one…

    Does the Biden administration want to remind Latinos that they are not welcome?

    Is the Biden administration building a monument to White Supremacy….

    Is the Biden administration’s wall “xenophobic and racist”?

    There are a million more examples…

    These 3 words seem to sum things up perfectly “Too Freaking Late!”

    White House Chaos: VP Harris Bucks Biden Order As Border Crisis Gets Even Worse

    It’s becoming more clear that nobody seems to be in charge at the White House.

    Recently, Biden tasked Vice President Kamala Harris to get America’s southern border secure, “The Vice President … agreed to lead our diplomatic effort and work with those nations to accept returnees and enhance migration enforcement at their borders — at their borders.”

    Biden claimed that Vice President Harris would work with “the countries that need help in stemming the movement of so many folks, stemming the migration to our southern border.”

    A few days later, Symone Sanders, Harris’s press secretary watered down Biden’s request.

    “The president asked the vice president to take on the diplomatic effort, with Mexico and countries in the northern triangle to address the root causes of migration,” she said. “There are many reasons that move these folks to make this dangerous journey.”

    That’s not what Biden said, below is an excerpt:

    It’s our responsibility to deal with [the migration], humanely, and to in to stop what’s happening. So this [migration] increase has been consequential, but the Vice President has agreed …  —  and I appreciate it — agreed to lead our diplomatic effort and work with those nations to accept the returnees, and enhance migration enforcement at their borders, and their borders. [We added the emphasis]

    Harris responded and said, “I look forward to engaging in diplomacy with government, with private sector, with civil society and the leaders of each in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, to strengthen democracy and the rule of law, and ensure shared prosperity in the region.”

    “This is an amazing dismissal by a vice president of her president in a very public fashion,” said Ken Cuccinelli, who served as deputy homeland security chief under President Donald Trump. “I cannot ever remember seeing this happen before.”

    Meanwhile, the border crisis is getting worse.https://platform.twitter.com/embed/Tweet.html?

    Comment: It would seem apparent to even the most ardent Biden supporter; that the human suffering and crisis created by the Biden Administration on our southern border is being avoided, by even the Vice President. All the while, Mr. Biden talks about “the plan” (and what plan would that be??)

    MSM & Journalism & Borderless

    On day one, January 20, 2021 the Biden Administration’s expressed their intent to modernize the Immigration system, as seen here:
    https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/01/20/fact-sheet-president-biden-sends-immigration-bill-to-congress-as-part-of-his-commitment-to-modernize-our-immigration-system/

    Then there was a “surge” of immigrants at the border, as those who had previously occupied the camps on the Mexican side of the border, quickly emptied. Included in his modernization plans was a halt to the construction of the border wall. Initially, President Biden denied the claims that he had encouraged the overwhelming number of immigrants. That is, until the video was replayed during his debate with former President Trump and he had indeed emphatically stated he would encourage a “surge”.

    Then as reports continued to surface regarding the fact that Customs & Border Patrol agents were unable to handle the massive number of applicants, illegal crossing and unattended children; Press Secretary Psaki continued to refer to the human implosion at the border as a “situation”. Ignoring the fact that FEMA had been called and requested to assist with the “situation”. All the while, repetitively stating that they, the Biden Administration supported “transparency”.

    As the southern border crisis heightened; finally Press Secretary Psaki was forced to acknowledge that yes, indeed there was a “crisis”. Next, the press corps continued to request a confirmation as to how many, as in, number of immigrants were at the border. Again, Press Secretary Psaki, not to be deterred from providing a non-circle back response, suggested they speak with the DHS, as that was their department’s responsibility and it was not within the purview of the White House. At this point, things took a rather interesting turn in the daily WH pressers. And some within the press were bold enough to ask – why they were not being allowed ride along privileges or why they were not being allowed access to the immigration holding facilities or why the CBP were not allowed to speak with the press?

    Yes, the flood gates were starting to open and rather than the normal spoon feeding and 4 AM talking points that are provided by AP, which the MSM have become accustomed to and conditioned to expect, the potential for actual journalism took root. However, this concept is basically quite foreign to many , with the exception of those in what is referred to as, the alternative media.

    I would suggest the emergence has begun of actual journalist, if CNN’s recent ratings are an indication as seen below:

    National Pulse reported: FACT CHECK: Biden Claims He Didn’t Invite Migrants To The U.S. Border… He Actually Told Them To “Surge” There.
    Biden first tried to deny the ongoing catastrophic surge was irregular, then denied that he sent the wrong message on immigration, then denied that children are held in cells, then finally said “quite clearly, don’t come.”

    On the surge: “There was a surge the last two years in ’19 and ’20, there was a surge as well.”

    “This one might be worse,” Stephanopoulos chimed in. 

    “No—well it could be,” Biden replied. (His own DHS chief confirmed this week that the biggest surge in 20 years is underway.) “But here’s the deal. First of all, the idea that Joe Biden said ‘come’ is—I heard the other day that they’re coming because they know I’m a nice guy, and I won’t do what Trump did.”

    Daily Caller reported: ‘Definitely Not’: Illegal Immigrant Says He Wouldn’t Have Crossed The Border If Trump Was President
    A father who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border illegally told ABC’s Martha Raddatz that he would not have done so if former President Donald Trump were still in office.

    During a segment of “This Week” that aired Sunday morning, Raddatz interviewed a man from Brazil who had crossed the border with his wife and children — and he told her that he made the choice not to come until President Joe Biden took office.

    RedState reported: Biden Is Considering Sharing the Flood of Illegal Aliens With More States
    Right now, it’s primarily the states at the border who are having all the ‘fun’ of dealing with the flood of illegal aliens at the border. But if the Biden folks have their way, they want to spread that fun around to a few more states.


    According to The Washington Post, the Biden team is considering flying some of the illegal aliens to states along the border with Canada and to coastal states. The CBP hasn’t decided what states to send them to yet.

    NeonNettle reported: Human Traffickers Raking In Almost $14M a Day Under Joe Biden
    Human trafficking cartels are taking advantage of Joe Biden’s border policies and raking in as much as $14 million a day, according to border patrol sources.

    Former Tucson Border Patrol Chief Roy Villareal said, “trafficking is a multibillion-dollar industry.”

    “A lot of these vulnerable populations use their life savings,” he added.

    “Some are essentially indentured servants, and they’re working off this debt for a long period of time. In other cases, some of these migrants are asked to transport narcotics or some form of crime to work off a different part of their debt.”

    But as human traffickers benefit from Biden’s lax policies, American taxpayers are paying as much as $5 million a day due to the border crisis.

    Shelter costs at $800 per migrant.
    https://neonnettle.com/news/14614-human-traffickers-raking-in-almost-14m-a-day-under-joe-biden

    And as a final note – the transport of illegal aliens to the northern border next to Canada is by no means an accident. It is completely intentional and that being part of the borderless #Great Reset or Agenda 21 or 2030 and that the Prime Minister Trudeau is very complicit in these actions.
