As President Trump blows narcoboats out of the water in a bid to shake Venezuela's Marxist cocaine dictator, Nicolas Maduro, out of his illegitimately held nest, now narco-plagued Mexico is seeing huge protests in a bid to accomplish something similar, and the words "Latino Spring," come to mind. I've seen radical protests in Mexico City before, but nothing like these videos. I recall being there as the guest of a billionaire I was covering for Forbes magazine in March 2001. When the Chiapas 'revolutionary' known as Subcomandante Marcos marched into the Zocalo with his communist denizens, (same place where these riots took place,)

Its probably a bad idea, but I would love to see the Air Force do bombing practice on the mansions and production facilities for these cartels. Whats Mexico going to do to us that they havent already done? They've invaded us with illegals who wear down our welfare system. They've forced their dirty little culture on the entire southwest, to include the crime and drugs, and they fly their filthy flag in every area they've conquered. Its about time the pendulum made a swing our direction.

I think their beans are refried because all of their relatives who "migrated" to the United States are no longer sending them monthly bank deposits. They have been okay with fifty years of Mexico being a narco state with us as their biggest customer, why cry now? In all of my international business travel, Mexico City was the one place where I felt the most danger around me, even before leaving the airport.

#3, I was in Bogota Columbia in the late 1990s on a business trip to a ferro-nickel mine in the northwest near Monteria. We had to drive through Medellin to get there where the Medellin cartel was alive and well. Our driver said there had been recent kidnappings of mine personnel along the road on either side of town. Unless the driver could pay a ransom on the point, the mine people were taken out of their cars and the drivers disappeared. The cartel would hold the mine people until the ransom was paid. Most of the mine people were returned alive, some were not. We fully expected the same to happen to us at one of the checkpoints. But it didn't. It was our lucky day.

Sealed borders, steady deportation and active destruction of drug trafficking pipelines - it is like a trident that PDT is driving at the drug cartels and the narco regimes they support. I bet they hate Trump more than the Democrats - if that is possible!

#3, FTA…"But riots like this, with this intensity, are hardly likely to be astroturf. The discontent in Mexico is real. The U.S. finally has a president willing to do something about narco problems. That can credibly be something that gives angry, frustrated Mexicans heart to continue.” That’s why.

Well, if they can kill the narco terrorists in their country, perhaps they can take the control back. At this point, it seems that the whole country is run by narco terrorists.

If Sheinbaum would invite us in (or maybe just do it anyway or threaten to cut off all trade) Reaper drones could vaporize their mansions and headquarters without our troops involved. There would be collateral casualties that the leftists would scream about, but those would be nothing compared to the deaths the narco terrorists inflict on us. 100,000 from fentanyl alone every year. The left is even opposed to deporting violent criminals. Trump has certainly made a good start. I would think that recruiting for drug boat captains is getting tougher these days.

Just over 15 years ago, when the Democrat-controlled House and the Democrat-controlled Senate were debating the healthcare proposals offered by the Democrat president, nearly everyone on the political right was unified in opposition. It may well have been the last time the right was united on anything, but it was indeed unified and resolute. Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann (MN) warned that “This monstrosity of a bill will not only destroy the private healthcare market, it will lead to massive increases in premiums and rationed care.” Congressman (and eventual vice-presidential nominee and Speaker of the House) Paul Ryan (WI) complained that “This bill is a fiscal Frankenstein.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, the sharp-mouthed-yet-dull-minded congresswoman from Georgia, captured her first modicum of fame as one of MAGA’s most boisterous boosters. She booed Joe Biden, swooned for Donald Trump, and had a weird catfight with fellow GOP congresswoman Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.). Even in a profession overwrought with outlandish egos, naked ambition, and delusions of grandeur, MTG managed to stand out. Besides, we had bigger fish to fry. Onward and upward. And to be fair to Greene, maybe MAGA could use more enthusiasm. Her Southern drawl was pleasant enough, and Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Ten.)’s crack about MTG’s “bleach blonde bad built butch body” was unfair: In truth, she’s a very attractive woman.

Hungary continues to stand firm against what many see as a bureaucratic assault on national sovereignty: every day since June 2024, Viktor Orbán’s government transfers one million euros directly into the European Union’s coffers—not out of whim, but as the price for refusing to open the doors to immigrant flows that threaten the country’s security and identity.This is not a symbolic gesture; it is a calculated rebellion. «It is cheaper to pay the fine than to surrender to Brussels,» Orbán told me in one of his radio statements in February 2025, with that frankness that has made him an icon for European conservatives. And he is right:

A federal judge in Chicago has ordered the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to release more than 600 illegal immigrants held at a suburban detention center, blasting the agency for “repeated, material violations” of a court-approved consent decree that limited who could be detained under US immigration law. US District Judge Jeffrey Cummings ruled that more than 600 detainees being held at the Broadview ICE center must be released “on bond and into ICE’s Alternatives to Detention (ATD) program” by Nov. 21, citing what he called a “pattern of unlawful arrests and confinement.”

Perhaps more than anyone else, House Speaker Mike Johnson (LA-04) has been the face of congressional Republicans on the Schumer Shutdown, holding the line and reminding the American people nearly every day since it started that it was the Democrats' fault that the shutdown was in effect, and that they were admittedly doing it for "leverage" and to appease the party's far-left base."After this weekend’s 'Hate America' rallies co-sponsored by the Communist Party, I thought [Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) would] finally do the right thing.

Democrats thought they had a winning hand when they released three carefully selected Jeffrey Epstein emails on Wednesday morning. The timing was no accident. With their caucus still reeling from their base turning on them for caving on the government shutdown, they needed a distraction, and they believed these emails would deliver one. They were wrong.The so-called bombshell consisted of three email exchanges. The crown jewel of their selective leak was a 2011 email between Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell in which Epstein described Trump as "the dog that hasn't barked." He noted that a victim had spent hours with Trump at Epstein’s house.

House Democrats pulled a bait-and-switch on a new trove of Jeffrey Epstein documents Wednesday when they released just three select emails in which the pedophile financier mentioned President Trump, including one claiming “Victim 1 spent many hours at my house with him.” But the Dems on the House Oversight Committee deliberately withheld the name of the victim in the missive — Virginia Giuffre, who said before her death earlier this year that she witnessed no wrongdoing from Trump during their interactions. Media outlets jumped on the limited document release anyway — led by the New York Times and CNN which appeared to have gotten a sneak peek at the messages.

Now they tell us. Or maybe I should say, “Now it can be told.” In an editorial Sunday, The Washington Post informs us that New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is a dictatorial ideologue. He ran an “upbeat campaign, with a nice-guy demeanor and perpetual smile papering over a long history of divisive and demagogic statements.” This might have fooled voters into thinking he was a feel-good technocrat who’d fix the city. But after being elected, the mask came off. “Across 23 angry minutes laced with identity politics and seething with resentment,” the editorial says,

A bombshell peer-reviewed study out of Germany just dismantled the scientific foundation used to justify lockdowns, social distancing, and vaccine mandates. When researchers compared the ALM’s week-by-week PCR positivity rates with the same labs’ IgG antibody testing data — essentially measuring who truly developed infection-induced immunity — they discovered something staggering: Only about 14% of those who tested PCR-positive during the early pandemic period (2020–mid-2021) actually developed antibodies — meaning most early “cases” were never real infections.

Would you believe that in the entirety of human history, no one has been oppressed as much as Michelle Obama? It’s true. Whenever she gets in front of a microphone, she can’t help but complain about how unfairly she’s been treated, how terrible white people are, or how racist our country is. She paints herself as chronically oppressed, endlessly scrutinized, and forever burdened by a country that never treated her fairly. I know it must not be easy having fame, fortune, a bunch of multimillion-dollar homes, and all that. It must be really, really brutal. The routine has become predictable, and her latest appearances only reinforce the sense that

While some people are looking to New York City Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani to kiss their boo-boo and make it better, I think it is safe to say that most folks can recognize an underqualified empty suit when they see one. Mamdani's candidacy was successful due to a particular set of circumstances, coupled with outrageous promises to address issues ranging from unaffordable housing to food prices, as well as providing free bus and subway travel by executive fiat. At first blush, this looks like Lefitst Politics 101: promise the lumpenproletariat free stuff. However, a closer look reveals that we may be dealing with a man who is simply unmoored from reality.

President Donald Trump announced Friday night on Truth Social that he is withdrawing his support and endorsement of Rep.

The president claimed that Greene "has told many people that she is upset that I don’t return her phone calls anymore" in a long post where he ultimately vowed "Complete and Unyielding Support" to any conservative primary challenger leading into the 2026 midterm elections. Trump claimed Greene had "gone Far Left," citing her recent appearance on The View, and gave her the new nickname "Wacky Marjorie."

The creeping transformation of Western cities under demographic and cultural pressures has long been a cautionary tale in Europe, particularly in the UK, where London—once a beacon of Enlightenment values (and more importantly biblical truths) — has earned the moniker “Londonistan” for its visible embrace of parallel Islamic societies. With 15% of its population now Muslim, the city features halal-dominated high streets and Friday prayer congregations that overwhelm urban traffic. Across the Atlantic, Texas stands at a similar crossroads, its Muslim population surging amid rapid urbanization in hubs like Dallas and Houston. While Europe’s trajectory offers stark parallels—accelerated by lax policies and demographic shifts—Texas still holds unique tools,
