Mexico raises its price to Biden for halting
the migrant flow
Posted By: PageTurner, 1/8/2024 6:37:45 PM
In Mexico, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador know a fool when he sees one. So now that Joe Biden has let illegal border crossings balloon in into a full-blown crisis, with millions of illegal aliens now flowing into the U.S., he's got Biden over a barrel. Like any sharp mafioso or three-card monte player, he's now raising his price to solving the problem ... and it won't come cheap. According to Newsweek: Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador wants the United States to pay $20 billion to help curb illegal immigration.

Ever wonder why Harvard's now-ex-president, Claudine Gay, could have such a hard time condemning calls for genocide against Jews in her congressional testimony?
Sure, part of it, as she said, was that she "got caught up" with her questioner, GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik, whom she obviously thinks has cooties.
The other part, though, might be this, as Campus Reform reports:
The Biden administration’s Department of Education opened an investigation into San Diego State University after an administrator sent an email condemning Hamas and offering support after the Oct. 7 terrorist attack, according to a school official.
The world's best big wave surfers are descending on California to catch the biggest storm swells the US West Coast has seen in years.
Surfers from Brazil, France and Portugal have arrived at Mavericks, a famous wave south of San Francisco, to ride the giant walls of water.
Waves up to 70ft (21 meters) have been ridden, as even larger waves pass by.
Officials have warned onlookers to stay away from the shore after people were injured by huge rogue waves.
Chris Cuvelier, who runs the Maverick Surf Awards competition and can see the rolling swells from his kitchen, told BBC News
With elections on and Joe Biden hovering at around a 40% public approval rating, everyone can see that Joe Biden's starting to get desperate over his polls.
Vying for issue number one among voters is an out-of-control open border with illegal immigration now hitting record highs as hundreds of thousands pour in. Cities are going bankrupt with the onslaught. Border Patrol agents are shutting down legitimate trade to "process" migrants. Hospitals are flooded with diseased and injured migrants, and schools are overwhelmed with indigent pupils speaking more than a hundred languages.
Instead of change his policies to match what's written in law, Biden has sent his men down to Mexico
The illegal migrant inflow is hitting record highs at Eagle Pass, Texas, and it's out of control at entries across the southern border.
Anyone ask what Mexico is doing about it?
We know they're trying to keep them from flooding Tijuana by building a border fence in that area.
But in that, they aren't stopping the migrants. (Snip)
In reality, the Mexicans are helping the migrants cross into the U.S. for the exact same reasons that red border states are busing and flying illegal border crossers into their sanctuary cities of choice. They don't want this problem.
Trump up by 50 in Michigan GOP race?
6 replies
The political class has spent a lot of time obsessing about former President Donald Trump's lead in the Republican early-voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina. There's been less time devoted to how Trump is doing in some bigger states that follow the first three.
Michigan holds its primary just three days after South Carolina. It's one of the biggest states on the primary calendar. And now a new poll by the Washington Post and Monmouth University shows that Trump has a 50-point — yes, a 50-point — lead in the Republican race there.
The poll showed that 63% of likely Republican primary voters
Apparently, I Am A Sexist Bigot

The director of Disney’s latest flop, The Marvels, Nia DaCosta, is blaming hateful sexist, misogynists for the massive box office failure.
What is probably really upsetting Ms. DaCosta is that more men than women bought tickets to the film. Women, like me, are not at all interested in paying for a film starring macho women.
No thanks, Disney. Real women like strong men, even fake ones portraying superheroes.
The more I read about the antics of the hysterical Karens or view the sickening videos of moronic exhibitionists on TikTok, the more convinced that I am a female chauvinist.

Shakespeare would have had no use for President Joe Biden. If given the opportunity to dramatize his story, the Bard of Avon undoubtedly would have passed. His historical plays and tragedies were certainly partial to political leaders, and Biden has things in common with some of his most famous leading characters -- like Macbeth, he has political ambitions and a helpful spouse, and like King Lear, he has diminished abilities and problematic offspring -- but Shakespeare’s major characters were all deep and complex, prone to wander castle or moor emoting about an inner turmoil or bitter fate.

Our National Political History Deficit

Many Democrats, pointedly its ‘progressive’ left wing, enjoy thinking of themselves as ‘people-person’ trailblazers.
This collective and persistent fiction chiefly works because their ‘novel’ efforts cancel out quietly or die in silence, as failures. The brilliant, new ‘initiative’ du jour becomes unworkable—either upon execution or, worse, is frankly untenable for America--eventually. The progressive voice is the loudest and most constant while the majority are barely heard. This progressive public bullying is a problem now owned, if not altogether liked, by the Democrat party; it is rooted in the stupidities of our failed education.
Does the Washington Post have any credibility at all?
They censored this cartoon below after a few critics absurdly howled 'racism' -- all for depicting a Hamas spokesman accurately, and creating a thoughtful message that Hamas's howls about civilian attacks are disingenuous, given Hamas's war on Israeli civilians, including the 200-some hostages they hold. upposedly, they complained about the nose, expropriating from the complaints of caricatures directed against Jews done by anti-Semites.
Yeah, sure.
Did they want a little turned-up button nose on him?
And is Ramirez supposed to depict a terrorist spokesman holding hostages flatteringly?
Like an ignorant radical madrassa in some benighted fist-waving burg like Mogadishu or Kabul, George Washington University has allowed presumably students to project Jew-hating pro-Hamas statements on the wall of one of its august buildings in the heart of Washington, D.C. [Snip for tweet] "Glory to our martyrs"? "Divestment from Zionist genocide now"? "Free Palestine from the river to the sea"?
Had enough?
There's more. Adding insult to injury, check out the building they chose to spew their sickening Hamas slogans on:
Javier Milei, a far-right libertarian leading the polls in Argentina’s presidential election this month, has made a lot of contentious statements in recent years: Humans did not cause climate change; people should be able to sell their organs; his nation’s currency “is not even good as manure.”
But, to many Argentines, he has done something far worse: attacked the pope.
In 2020, Mr. Milei, a self-identifying Catholic, called Pope Francis an “imbecile” and “the representative of the Evil One on earth” because he defends “social justice.”

Johns Hopkins Hospital has sparked outrage after its DEI chief sent out a letter labeling all white people, Christians, men and English-speakers as 'privileged'.
The letter, posted on Twitter by End Wokeness, was written by Chief Diversity Officer Sherita Hill Golden, was part of the 'monthly diversity digest'.
A furious hospital employee shared the memo with the Twitter account. In it, Dr. Hill explains that 'privilege' is the 'diversity word of the month'.
To explain who the phrase applies to, she offered a list. It reads: 'Privilege is characteristically invisible to people who have it.
'White people, able-bodied people, heterosexuals, cisgender people, males Christians,
During an interview with MSNBC on Wednesday, Biden 2024 Campaign Co-Chair Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) said that President Joe Biden “has delivered for the American people in such a way that nobody seems to grasp.” And that Biden “can be a greater President when we get people to understand all of what he has done rather than to listen to all of the garbage, the disinformation that’s going on out there and look at the facts and stop listening to all of this tweeting and stuff that’s going on out there that’s not good for the American people.”
Clyburn said, “All the facts and figures are
Jill Biden slammed the 'horrible' House Republicans for showing nude photographs of Hunter Biden in their hearings and said what they are doing to her son is 'cruel.'
'What they are doing to Hunter is cruel, and I'm really proud of how he has rebuilt his life after addiction. I love my son. It's hurt my grandchildren. That's what I’m so concerned about, that it's affecting their lives as well,' the first lady said in an interview that aired on Morning Joe on Thursday.
Biden sat down with MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski to discuss the 2024 presidential campaign and her work as first lady. She defended her family during the conversation and
FBI agents have arrested a Texas man on charges that he and six other men gang-raped two toddlers in the restroom at Houston's Galleria shopping mall and posted a video of the assault online. Hector Fernandez, 29, who worked at a kiosk in the Galleria, has been arrested on federal charges of sexual exploitation of children. He faces up to life in prison, and a federal magistrate has ordered him held without bond.The case originated with the discovery by the Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation of four videos in “a private, by invitation only, forum on the dark web.” (Video)
Obama in the running for Harvard president?

Now that Claudine Gay is out as president at Harvard after a plagiarism scandal, will Barack Obama become the university's next president?
Here's what's being bruited about in the media, according to the Daily Mail:
Barack Obama has been touted as a contender for the next president of Harvard after the resignation by Claudine Gay due to an anti-Semitism and plagiarism scandal.
The former president, who graduated from Harvard Law School in 1991, may be a candidate for the position - and he wouldn't be the first ex-POTUS to take charge of an elite college.
TOPLINE U.S. and European government officials have poorly tracked military aid for Ukraine worth more than $1 billion, creating concerns the weapons have been stolen, according to a Defense Department report released Thursday, amid contested efforts by American lawmakers to provide additional funding for Ukraine’s war against Russia. KEY FACTS
Just over $1 billion of the estimated $1.69 billion worth of weapons sent to Ukraine are considered “delinquent,” which was likely caused by “an inability to maintain complete accountability” of the inventory in government databases, according to a redacted report by the Defense Department’s inspector general Thursday.
St. Paul, Minnesota, seated four new City Council members on Tuesday, and now has an entirely female slate of Council members.
Additionally, all seven women are under age 40, and six of the seven are women of color.
Anika Bowie, Saura Jost, Hwa Jeong Kim and Cheniqua Johnson became the Council's newest members. Rebecca Noecker, Mitra Jalali and Nelsie Yang all won reelection in their districts. All seven members are Democrats but ran on a nonpartisan ballot.
Prior to Tuesday, two of the seven council members were male.
St. Paul uses ranked-choice voting, meaning voters must rank their preferred candidates.
Not only is Anthony Fauci a shameless flip-flopper, but he’s an extremely sloppy one at that—why are these criminals in politics (pardon the redundancy) so incapable of covering their tracks? How does a man like Peter Strzok, who spent a career as an investigative agent, put something as incriminating as “we’ll stop” a Trump presidency into writing, on a government-issued cell phone? How does Hunter Biden leave the “Laptop from Hell,” containing graphic evidence of criminal activity, with some civilian computer repair store man? How does Fauci “confess” to Capitol Hill lawmakers that the six-foot social distancing guidance “sort of just appeared” out of the ether,
The Senate GOP leadership’s draft border deal with the White House would reward illegal migration and encourage more foreign graduates to take jobs from American graduates, says the Immigration Accountability Project.
“There’s nothing in there that [restricts immigration], in fact, it’s just going to encourage more people to come,” said Chris Chmielenski, president of the Immigration Accountability Project, adding:
It essentially authorizes the Biden administration to continue to catch and release people into the country. It authorizes them to give them work permits [to illegal migrants and] authorizes them to grant parole [legal status] to everybody that they’re able to funnel to a port of entry.
A defence chief has hit out after Prince Harry beat history-making British astronaut Tim Peake to be named a 'Legend of Aviation' for his work flying an Army helicopter in Afghanistan. [Snip] The Duke bagged the award despite only ever being 'number two' in his helicopter, acting as a gunner in Afghanistan--with his gong success today branded a 'pathetic' publicity stunt by Lord Alan West, the former head of the Royal Navy. [Snip] Retired British Army Colonel Richard Kemp also lashed out, claiming the awards were about 'celebrities massaging each other's egos'.
Over the last several years, the U.S. Military has struggled to meet recruitment goals across all branches, perhaps most of all with the Army.
One of the reasons for this has now been explained. White men are no longer enlisting in the numbers they did in the past.
Families which used to encourage young men to enlist are doing so in far fewer numbers for reasons which are obvious to many. New woke policies, the vaccine mandates and the embrace of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) policies mean white recruits are looked over for advancement in the US Military today. All of these factors have all contributed to this decline
Public schools in Chicago have lost $23 million worth of laptops, iPads, and other electronic devices provided for ‘free’ to students. As many as 77,000 of these devices have just vanished into thin air.
Where did they go and who stole them?
Taxpayers are constantly lectured about public schools needing more funding and better equipment. Perhaps this is why so many people roll their eyes when they hear that argument.
