‘Tough Love’ for Mexico’s President
Meddling in US Politics

Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for The Daily Signal. I’d like to talk about illegal immigration, but specifically about the new president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum. She’s been very vocal about U.S. policy toward Mexico. For example, she said she would offer legal counsel to her citizens that were here illegally that were picked up, she thought, unfairly or too violently by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.She also said that the United States had no business taxing remittances—that is money that Mexican nationals here, for the most part illegally, send back to Mexico. She said, “Do not come into Mexican national ground if you’re going after the cartels.”

It's nice to think that Mexico would do the right thing, but, like with democrats, it will not happen.

Don't the cartels kind of control the shots in Mexico? Isn't that really the problem? Aren't the pubas in the government on the take?

Money and the fear of assassination drives the Mexican government. Higher tariffs plus Reaper drones used on known cartel bases would help. The cartels are going to have to be dealt with like the IDF deals with Hamas.

Mexico will never truly be fixed. Their government thrives on corruption, It's expected - they even use a specific word in everyday language - mordida, or bite - as in "what do I get out of it? What's my bite or portion?) It's endemic to most Central and South American countries. Even Argentina - finally pulling out of a 100+ yr Socialist nosedive with President Milei at the helm - isn't yet totally out of it.

Sheinbaum would not be playing this silly game if Mexico existed next to North Korea. Anybody who crossed over the border would disappear. End of story. Don't be so obvious about protecting your cartels.

I probably shouldn’t admit this here, but she’s my maternal cousin. We would see each other periodically at family gatherings. I always thought she was Californian, as her Spanish wasn’t great. Really good ballerina, believe it or not. As relevant here, but apparently unknown, her parents were hardcore communists and deeply involved with attempts at revolution in Mexico after WW2. Led to a major split in the family, as the rest of my mother’s family was ardently anti-communist. The takeaway is she is a literal red diaper doper baby, brought up from birth to hate Western civilization and America. To the point that we had words with each other because she didn’t approve of me being in the US military and we’ve been polite but stuff now for 25 years. Basically, she’s a Mexican Obama, but much more communist. Barely Mexican, btw. Her new identity as proud Mexican has been carefully cultivated over the last decade.

#8. In other words if she were in the USA her politics would be hard core progressive communist-socialist Democrat. Clearly the politicians in Mexico for the most part cannot reform themselves away from the traditional Mexican political agenda item of “la mordida” known in the English language as “the bite” which in reality are massive payoffs from criminal cartel and corrupt entities ensconced around Mexico. So in that respect any such politician in Mexico who attempts to institute reforms big enough to make a difference would face criminal assassination.

If the US dollar fails, how much of the world be in ruins living under crypto currency? Pay the foreign “day labors” in script currency that can only be used in areas where it has been earned. Taking the script back to another country would make it useless. Devise a plan where it can only be converted to US dollars by merchants in areas where it has been earned.

Well, Claudia if you don't want the USA to arrest your criminals up here, then you make sure they don't come her by putting them in jail yourself. Unless, you get kick backs from them.

Ex-DOGE staffer nicknamed ‘Big Balls’
left bloodied after savage DC carjacking
attempt by 10 juveniles

A 19-year-old former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) staffer was beaten and bloodied by a mob of 10 minors early Sunday morning as he thwarted a carjacking attempt in the nation’s capital, according to DC police. Edward Coristine, whose LinkedIn handle earned him the nickname “Big Balls” at DOGE, was with a woman near downtown DC when he saw the group of juveniles approach their car and “make a comment about taking the vehicle,” according to a Metropolitan Police Department incident report obtained by The Post. “At that point, for her safety, [Coristine] pushed his significant other … into the vehicle and turned to deal with the suspects,” the dramatic report continues.
Schiff Under Investigation

Sen. Adam Schiff, the man who never missed a chance to lecture America about ethics and accountability, is now the focus of a full-blown federal criminal investigation. On Tuesday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Maryland, hardly a bastion of right-wing activism, revealed it is actively pursuing Schiff for alleged mortgage fraud. This isn’t some garden-variety political dustup—Schiff faces accusations that he repeatedly lied about his primary residence on federally backed mortgage applications spanning over a decade, from 2009 through 2020. While representing California in Congress, Schiff allegedly listed a Maryland property as his primary address to secure.

Yes, really.In a video posted on X by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), Kennedy announced that the science has been reviewed, and it shows that the shots forced on the public by the government to supposedly stop the COVID pandemic actually helped cause the variants and caused the pandemic to go on longer.Kennedy announced that the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, or BARDA,
Texas Dems Run to Illinois to Deny a Quorum
for Redistricting, and Now the Real Fun Begins

As expected, Texas Democratic legislators have fled the state to deny a quorum for Gov. Greg Abbott's redistricting push. The members flew to Illinois on Sunday, which qualifies as peak irony given that the blue state is arguably the most gerrymandered in the country. This plan was reportedly hatched with Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL), and the 30 odd Democrats will spend at least a week there. Given what we saw when they did this in 2021, denying a quorum for an election reform vote, there is no doubt a lot of grandstanding, dramatics, and cringe singing on the way.

President Trump on Friday said he’d like to “release everything” the government has on notorious late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and signaled that he’s leaning against pardoning rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs. Trump’s remarks about the Epstein files come a week after Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche interviewed the deceased sex offender’s convicted accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, for about nine hours at a federal prison in Florida. Trump said he hasn’t been asked to pardon Maxwell but “they have talked to me about Sean.” AP “I think [Blanche] probably wanted to know, you know, just to get a feeling of it, because we’d like to release everything,

Less than a year after President Trump won over the cryptocurrency crowd, some Democrats are trying to reclaim those voters — and the hundreds of millions they pour into elections — ahead of the midterm elections. They believe backing crypto-friendly Republican-led bills — namely the Genius Act, which passed earlier this month, and the Clarity Act, which is still awaiting final passage — as a critical step to rebuild trust with the digital asset community. “I’ve watched optimistically as American Democrats begin to tiptoe toward crypto,” Alex Konanykhin, founder and CEO of Unicoin, an equity-backed cryptocurrency, told me.

The Trump administration released a revised list of tariff rates against nearly 70 countries set to take effect next week. The announcement follows a four-month negotiating sprint with dozens of US trading partners to lock in one-for-one agreements — some of which are reflected in the new list. Among the notable rates that will be charged at 12:01 a.m. Aug. 7 — rather than on the Friday deadline initially announced by the White House — are 15% for Iceland and Israel, 30% for South Africa, 39% for Switzerland and 20% for Taiwan and Vietnam.

A terrorist who bragged about helping Osama bin Laden mastermind the 9/11 attacks could be freed from a UK prison within days — despite officials declaring him a “risk to national security.” Haroon Aswat — who previously set up an al-Qaeda training camp in the US — is set to be released from a secure psychiatric hospital unit where he’s currently locked up in the UK after he completes mental health treatment, The Sun reported. The twisted terrorist will be cut loose without a full risk assessment because of a legal loophole under the country’s Mental Health Act — a decision that’s sparked widespread fury.

President Trump has had enough of the out-of-control violent crime in the District of Columbia, not to mention the exceptionally soft sentences being handed to offenders, and is threatening to "federalize" the Democrat-run city if nothing is done to address the problems. This comes after a DOGE staffer was severely beaten when he came to the aid of a woman being attacked by a rampaging mob of teen boys. Trump took to Truth Social to put Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser and the city council on notice that something needs to be done immediately—and if they won't do it, he will.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has decided to order a full military occupation of the Gaza Strip to force Hamas to free the hostages, according to local reports. The expansion of the war would see the military, which already controls about 75% of Gaza, take over the remaining areas and conduct operations where the hostages are believed to be held, the Jerusalem Post reported. The move was reportedly made without the input of the Israeli military’s chief of staff Eyal Zamir — with Netanyahu instructing him to fall in line or resign, according to the internal memo sent out.

The next shoe dropped on Monday in the case of Texas Democrat legislators fleeing to Illinois and New York to deny a quorum, and now a motion to approve arrest warrants has been passed. As RedState reported, 51 Texas Democrats left the state on Sunday in an attempt to stop Republicans from passing a redistricting plan that would conceivably gain the GOP five congressional seats. Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) had been spearheading the plan as a way to combat the gerrymandering in states like California, where an "independent commission" drew lines that gave Democrats 83 percent of the seats despite their vote totals coming in far lower.
