The Claim That America ‘Stole’ California
From Mexico Is An Ignorant Lie

Original Article

Posted By: earlybird, 6/14/2025 1:38:14 PM

Recently, Katy Perry claimed on her Instagram page that California has always belonged to Mexico and is another example of U.S. racism and bigotry. That’s not quite … right. California, like most of the world, has a history that’s slightly more complex than will fit an average bumper sticker. Prior to the Spanish arrival in 1542, there were more than 100 different tribes inhabiting modern-day California. (Snip)The American annexation of Texas, a decade later in 1845, was the catalyst that brought California into the United States.When the U.S. annexed Texas, Mexico disputed exactly where the southern border was.

Comments:

A great deal of history in this article on the Spithwest, Spain and Mexico. Katy perry is clueless...

Jesse Watters mentioned the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo the other night in his opening monologue, countering the ridiculous argument that California belongs to Mexico. In Colorado, you can visit Bent’s Fort on the way to LaJunta, reconstructed to look like it did when it supplied travelers on the Santa Fe trail. The fort is situated on the Arkansas River. In 1845, everything south of that river was Mexico. They lost a lot of land to the U.S. because of that war.

War and $18.5 million payments is how we got that part of the country. We paid Napoleon $15 million for the Louisiana purchase, so regardless of all the lies and whining....we BOUGHT the area north of the Spanish/Mexican holdings and then BOUGHT the Spanish/Mexican holdings. And as the author points out, there were almost NO Mexicans anywhere in that area, and there were a whole heck of a lot more European and American whites. As usual, the leftist fairy tales won't stand up to a real history lesson.

Re #1, we have visited Bent's Fort (reconstructed) and drove thru La Junta on Thursday, returning from the Colorado mountains. And don't neglect the $18.5 million that Mexico was PAID, cash and assumed debts combined.

“The United States won California because of winning a war — the way lands have changed hands for virtually all of human history“. It’s my belief that we’ve been invaded for this very reason. They come here, burn our flag and raise their own flag. The flag of the country they supposedly fled for better lives. No, they invaded our country, not to assimilate but to conquer.

I would highly recommend watching the Kevin Costner's "The West" which is an 8 part series. Very informative and does not gloss over the indigenous people either. And when you see that the United States bought the Louisiana Purchase from Napoleon, you may realize the people who were told to "go west" didn't likely view the Indian tribes as the owners of the land since it was bought from France. They certainly didn't treat the Indian tribes very well or honor most of the treaties either. Regardless, it is now the property of the United States of America, a sovereign country.

#4, It has always been my contention that the land belongs to those who can defend it - by military might, political power, wealth, law or consensus. You think you own your home, even if it is paid for? Try not paying your taxes or some entity with power or wealth confiscates it by eminent domain. Will the law help your defend it or hinder you? For consensus, consider squatters' rights. On a micro scale, homeless people in your vacant house. On a macro scale, that is what the whole immigrant crisis is about.

Personally, I'm looking forward to the day leading Mexican government officials attempt to abrogate the Treaty of Hidalgo. [What citizen bleaters say on either side of the border doesn't count.] At that point, we can resume a state of war with Mexico, which will result in their defeat and annexation as American-administered territories. I realize there are patriotic Mexicans who love their country, warts and all... however, they don't seem to have enough political power to put an end to the cartels. I think it will take an invasion to do that. It's a bad idea in a lot of respects, but one I feel is inevitable and will happen in this century...

That garbage comes from the mouths of Communist agitators in Central and South America. It was after the Commies got a foothold in Cuba that the Soviets sought ways to undermine the United States through its stooges and dupes in Mexico, along with those Commies residing in the USA, legal or otherwise. If you delegitimize your opponent's national sovereignty, you drive a wedge between its people and its "truth" that's been told for decades and centuries, thereby calling into question literally everything they stand for. If our leaders, present and past, have been carrying on with a lie, yet telling us the opposite is true, then literally everything we stand for and believe in is up for grabs. It's a corrosive tactic to undermine legitimate authority. Communists lie about everything... they do it to their enemies, and they do it to their own people/slaves. Their proclamations are utterances straight from the mouth of Satan, and always vile evil.

The Aztecs and the Mayans were defeated by Cortez and the armies of Spain. Those who were not shot were killed by European diseases. Mexico grew out of the combination of the Spanish soldiers and settlers and the remnants of the native tribes. Unfortunately, Mexico now has a helpless government controlled by criminal cartels and can not stand on their own until they fix that problem. Their police are nothing but criminals wearing uniforms. As with all of the land on this Earth, ownership is determined by who can defend what they claim.

Perhaps we should ask the Mayans, Aztecs, and Comanches for their views on Mexican sovereignty over their lands? And the giant herds of buffalo would have preferred no Comanches at all. Fact is, invasions happen, land changes hands...it's one of history's only constants.

Late to the party with this, but to all of you talking about Spain taking Mexico from the Aztec and the Comanches. Ask the people living in the lands of Mexico and Tejas what they thought. Many, many groups around what is now Mexico City hated the Aztec, being forced to became part of their empire and "volunteering" to become sacrifices on those pyramids. Cortez had about 200 men in Mexico City. He had a lot of help from non-Aztec allies. (One advantage of Christianity - no pyramid-climbing.) The Comanches were moving into Tejas from the north about the same time the Spanish were moving in from the South, and the locals, including Apache groups, were seeking refuge with the Spanish from the Comanche empire-building. Like I said, above - Who owns the land? Whoever can defend the land.

Activist Judge Jeb Boasberg is pretty familiar with controversy. After all, he’s been trying to sabotage President Trump’s America First efforts from his bench. Boasberg’s made it his personal mission to screw up President Trump’s immigration policy, especially when it comes to removing violent criminals and foreign national gangbangers. Which leads us to his most brazen move… when he tried to block Trump’s lawful deportation of Venezuelan nationals tied to Tren de Aragua, one of the most dangerous and sadistic transnational gangs in the Western Hemisphere.Boasberg tried to portray these violent illegals as innocent victims, even getting all poetic in a court opinion that sounded more like a theatrical monologue

WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump vetoed an Israeli plan in recent days to kill Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, two U.S. officials told Reuters on Sunday. "Have the Iranians killed an American yet? No. Until they do we're not even talking about going after the political leadership," said one of the sources, a senior U.S. administration official. The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said top U.S. officials have been in constant communications with Israeli officials in the days since Israel launched a massive attack on Iran in a bid to halt its nuclear program.
