Mexico Explodes: It's Now Open War Between
Cartels, Mexican Military

Original Article

On Sunday, we reported on the developing mess in Mexico: The resort town of Puerto Vallarta locked down, travel warnings, tourists "advised" to stay within the resorts, to shelter in place. There were rumors that the fighting was kicked off by the Mexican military's killing a notorious cartel goblin, Ruben "Nemesio" Oseguera Cervantes, known as "El Mencho," leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). That killing has now been confirmed. Now, over Sunday night, Mexico is plunged into warfare between the Mexican government and the cartels; the military is again involved, and there are indications that the cartels may have the government outgunned.

My take on this is that it's the military and not the Police Forces, which are known to be useless or corrupt.

Way, way overdue. Pray that the power of the cartels and the pols who feed off them is ended. The US appetite for the evils they sell has poisoned our neighbors and our own citizenry for far too long.

During an appearance on Breitbart News Saturday, Breitbart News Deputy Political Editor Bradley Jaye asked why the State of the Union is “so important” and why so many people tune in to watch it. Bednar explained that “the electricity in the room is incredible.” First of all, it’s just — the electricity in the room is incredible. You have the president, you have the Cabinet, you have Members of Congress, and special guests. They really all tie the room together. And, it’s just an opportunity where, actually, Americans can come and celebrate, not just the policies, not just the wins, but actually, just come together …

Supremes' tariff ruling will not, MUST
not stop Trump's push for trade justice

Don’t worry: Friday’s Supreme Court decision limiting some of President Donald Trump’s tariff powers won’t derail his larger, vital project of rebalancing US trade relations, boosting US industry and safeguarding US supply chains — nor should it. Yes, he’ll need to find other ways (more permanent and legally airtight) to pursue those goals, but the high court’s ruling against his across-the-board tariffs illegal also made it clear he has many such tools at his disposal — including other tariff powers. Even many of his allies warned that imposing import duties under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act was legally dubious; other more “durable” laws give him lots of leeway,

The bank admitted on Friday that “more than 50 Trump accounts” were cut off in February 2021, weeks after the January 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol, according to the New York Times. The revelation by JPMorgan came after Trump “and the Trump Organization” filed a lawsuit in January against JPMorgan Chase and its CEO, Jamie Dimon, for having debanked the president, according to the outlet. Per the outlet, accounts that JPMorgan reportedly “debanked” were accounts “for Trump hotels, housing developments and retail shops” in several states, along with “Trump’s personal private banking relationship that handled his inheritance:”

Since Liberation Day, there’s about $175 billion in tariff revenue that is now in limbo. Do you have to refund $175 billion?” Fox News’s Peter Doocy asked. “Very fair question. They take months and months to write an opinion, and they don’t even discuss that point. We’ve taken in hundreds of billions of dollars, not millions, hundreds of billions of dollars,” Trump said. “Wouldn’t you think they would have put one sentence in there saying that ‘Keep the money or don’t keep the money,’ right? I guess it has to get litigated for the next two years,” he added. He slammed the decision, in which Chief Justice John Roberts,

The trip that former President Ronald Reagan took to Europe in June of 1987 culminated in one of the greatest speeches of the last century -- but its first major moment was a visit to the Vatican. On June 3, 1987, Reagan and first lady Nancy Reagan flew to Venice, Italy. Shortly before midnight, they arrived at the Villa Condulmer, where they would stay for several days. "Finished evening with old John Wayne movie," Reagan wrote the next day in his diary. The day after that, he delivered a television address broadcast in Western Europe by the U.S. Information Agency on its WORLDNET satellite television channels.

A good catch by Chuck Ross at WFB drawing attention to the latest Amici curiae appointed to the FISA Court.Adding to a string of leftist ‘advisors to the court’ Jennifer Daskal has been appointed by FISA Court Presiding Judge Anthony Trenga. Daskal was the Biden administration principal deputy general counsel at the Department of Homeland Security who launched the Disinformation Governance Board (Ministry of Truth) ultimately led by Nina Jankowicz. Jennifer Daskal’s career has centers around controlling information from a leftist perspective and was one of the core officials who used the term dis-mis-mal-information to censor speech on social media platforms around COVID-19 and the vaccination protocol.

A significant chunk of the money that should be spent on educating all children is being hoovered up by the special educational needs system, and it is increasingly being gamed by sharp-elbowed middle-class parents. A report published last week by the think-tank Policy Exchange lays bare what many working in children’s services have suspected for some time. SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) spending has risen in real terms by 58.5% in the last six years, with a greater rise – 65% – in wealthier local authorities compared to poorer areas, where it increased by 51%.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-N.Y.) appearance at the Munich Security Conference has drawn a mixed response from members of her own party, underscoring a potential vulnerability of hers amid speculation she could mount a presidential run in the future. The New York congresswoman took part in the annual international security conference alongside world leaders — including other potential 2028 contenders such as California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) — last week, bringing her progressive, working-class platform to the global stage.

They’re all useful idiots. That must have been Roger Goodell’s opinion of typical NFL fans as he force-fed them Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show — a seamy spectacle that made parents cringe and would make a lefty college professor proud. And the NFL commissioner may have a point. The typical NFL fan — who skews right of center politically, a male and often a Trump voter — appears to be a glutton for left-wing punishment. In fact, the Bad Bunny fiasco appears to be symptomatic of the NFL’s broader, cynical business wager: It believes all those working-class white dudes who voted for Trump — those useful idiots —

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson announced on Friday that he was denying a request from the family of former Democratic presidential candidate and civil rights activist Jesse Jackson to allow Jackson to lie in state in the Capitol rotunda. There was an immediate reaction from many on the left. (X) However, Johnson was absolutely right to deny the Jackson family's request to allow his body to lie in state in the Capitol rotunda. There are very strict protocols governing who can lie in state. Even former Vice President Dick Cheney was denied that honor. Generally, the honor is reserved for presidents, noted military leaders, and select government officials.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani said during a press conference on Saturday that the city is preparing for what could be its most significant snowfall in nearly a decade. “For those who want to do more to help their neighbors and earn some extra cash, you too can become an emergency snow shoveler,” Mamdani said. ”Just show up at your local sanitation garage between 8 am and 1 pm tomorrow with your paperwork,” he added. Workers will be transported by vans and buses beginning Sunday night to clear bus stops, crosswalks, fire hydrants,

A few days ago, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) gave America some very welcome news. During a press conference he said that his Democratic members had two choices with regard to President Trump‘s upcoming State of the Union address: “The two options that are in front of us, in our house, is either attend with silent defiance, or to not attend.” This will definitely be a win-win for everyone who tunes in Tuesday evening to hear what the President has to say about his first-year accomplishments and future plans for the country.

Former Vice President Mike Pence just reminded the MAGA movement what a duplicitous traitor he is — and always has been. On Friday afternoon, Justices John Roberts, Amy Coney Barrett, and Neil Gorsuch joined the court’s three liberal members to strike down President Trump’s signature tariff policy, a central tenet of his 2024 campaign. Pence, who is widely despised across the conservative grassroots, took to the X platform to celebrate the decision: Today’s 6-3 ruling by the Supreme Court is a Victory for the American People and a Win for the Separation of Powers enshrined in the Constitution of the United States.

This week, former Obama advisor and current Netflix board member Susan Rice pulled back the curtain on what Democrats plan to do once they’re back in power, and it was pretty fascist. On Preet Bharara’s podcast, Obama’s scandal-scarred former U.N. ambassador promised that any corporation, law firm, university, or media outlet that “took a knee to Trump” will be targeted when the left is back in charge. “It’s not gonna end well for them,” she warned, casting basic engagement with the Trump administration as a kind of original sin that must be punished. And now President Donald Trump wants accountability. On Saturday, Trump called on Netflix to fire Rice.

A young man tried to enter Mar-a-Lago with a shotgun and a can of gasoline at around 1:30 this morning. Early reports indicate that he was challenged by police and the Secret Service and refused to put down his gun. They shot and killed him. As of this writing, we don’t know the identity of the intruder, but we can be pretty sure we know his motivation–the insane Trump hatred that has been stirred up by the Democratic Party. The Democrats have deliberately mobilized an army of lunatics to try to get President Trump (and other Republicans) killed.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is facing blowback after unveiling a new $239 million rehabilitation center at the infamous San Quentin prison — complete with a cafe and sweeping views of San Francisco Bay. Newsom attended the opening of the new San Quentin Learning Center, with the goal of “proving that rehabilitation and public safety go hand in hand,” he said at ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday. The center, which features Scandinavian-inspired design, also includes podcast studios, recording spaces and a store “to normalize social and vocational experiences.” Critics of the amenity-filled center blasted Newsom for the redesign, saying prisons shouldn’t be cushy.

A new FBI memo puts President Joe Biden in the thick of the Mar-a-Lago search of President Donald Trump's home. The memo puts an end to any rumors or partisan talking points; internal emails and memos outline briefings, coordination, and presidential approval before federal agents entered Trump's home. In January 2022, the National Archives and Records Administration received 15 boxes of presidential materials from Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate. Staff members found documents bearing classified markings, and requested additional materials from Trump's team. Archivist officials believed more records remained at the property. The dispute moved from paperwork to potential criminal exposure within a matter of months.
