PARTNERS IN CRIME - JOE BIDEN AND THE MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS ON, OVER AND UNDER JOE'S OPEN BORDER - Joe Biden’s menthol cigarette ban poised to open a huge new market for Mexican cartels

WE CAN'T SAVE AMERICA UNTIL WE GET RID OF THE PIG IN THE WHITE HOUSE!


Can someone explain to the rest of us why the leaders of Hamas, the world's evilest terrorist organization which has just murdered 1,400 innocent people, are actual billionaires living their best lives in Qatar?

Hamas leaders are billionaires, rolling in the dough

Can someone explain to the rest of us why the leaders of Hamas, the world's evilest terrorist organization which has just murdered 1,400 innocent people, are actual billionaires living their best lives in Qatar?

According to the New York Post:

While their people languish in poverty and are treated as human shields, the leaders of Hamas live billionaire lifestyles.

The terror group’s three top leaders alone are worth a staggering $11 billion between them and enjoy a life of luxury in the sanctuary of the emirate of Qatar. 

The emirate has long welcomed the leaders of the terror group and installed them in its luxury hotels and villas at the same time as hosting a vast American military presence.

They need to be like Osama bin Laden in the wake of the 9/11 terror attacks, wearing rags and hiding in some stinking cave, staring at their stashes of child porn, not living large in Vegas-like Qatar.

Hamas runs an office in Qatar’s capital, Doha, and leaders Ismail Haniyeh, Moussa Abu Marzuk and Khaled Mashal live a luxurious lifestyle.

They have been seen at its diplomatic club, photographed on private jets and traveled widely. The leadership would have been there for the 2022 soccer World Cup.

Instead, Hamas is loaded with characters like this guy, Hamas leader Khalid Mishal, who's worth more than $2 billion, living in the lap of luxury, and getting glamour shots in Vanity Fair and this magazine cover satire.

Why the heck is that going on? The 1,400 torture-murders they planned and executed in Israel, and the 200 hostages they are holding now in their filthy tunnels under Gaza City pretty well puts them in the same category as Mexico's evil cartels. Burning babies and beheading 10-year-olds is what they do, not what normal people do. They are the vilest of criminals and need to be completely rubbed out.

Yet nobody in Qatar seems to be upset by this evil ensconced at the heart of their regime, nobody wants them out, they and their billions seem to be as protected as ever.

It's the kind of thing that makes Qatar a state sponsor of terror, but we don't see any action from the Biden administration to make that declaration. The U.S. and all civilized nations need to come down hard on these maggots, lay down the law for Qatar, pull U.S. troops from that state, and above all, get hold of Hamas's ill-gotten gains to pay for reparations to Israel. They aren't entitled to that money now no matter how they got hold of it.

How'd Hamas get that money, anyway? We know they don't produce anything. We know that people in Gaza, which they rule over the way Mexico's cartels rule over some parts of Mexico, are dirt poor. The only possibilities seem to be foreign aid, whether from the U.S., Iran, hostile states such as China, or various Arab princelings, or perhaps drug dealing and human smuggling, the way Mexico's cartels do it. The U.S. needs to start defunding these thugs now.

Fortunately, one baby step has been taken by a GOP representative in Congress, according to the Post:

 Now Republican Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles is co-sponsoring a bill that would strip Qatar of its status as a key US ally, The Post has learned, unless it kicks out the Hamas leadership.

A lot more needs to be done to put these animals down. They are obviously in some kind of gang or cartel dynamic as a quasi state actor, same as the cartels, and fueled by their ill-gotten gains. The U.S. knows how to issue sanctions and seize assets of bad state actors and make them scream. We don't see too much of that going on as Joe Biden calls for a ceasefire or pause in order to allow Hamas to regroup. 

It's an outrageously weak response, given the resources of the U.S. government. There shouldn't be any billionaires right now among the Hamas elite. They need to be running and hiding. Instead, they are rolling in the dough as their minions conduct anti-Semitic attacks and organize demonstrations.

These people are bin Laden, ISIS, and the cartels rolled into one. It's time to take out the trash.

Joe Biden’s menthol cigarette ban poised to open a huge new market for Mexican cartels

Could Biden and company possibly send any more business the way of men like El Mencho of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, or El Mayo of the Sinaloa cartel? I doubted it, until I read this from Fox News today:

The Biden administration’s banning of menthol cigarettes will open up the door to several problems, including providing a massive space for Mexican cartels to move in and sell them on the U.S. black market, former law enforcement officials told Fox News Digital.

‘This is essentially a prohibition, and we know what happens when you remove a current market,’ Jorge Colina, former City of Miami chief of police, told Fox News Digital. ‘That means organized crime and/or cartels move in.’

Colina called it an ‘unfunded mandate’ that will ‘create a vacuum that is going to be ripe for the Chinese or the Mexicans or the cartels to move in and take advantage of what's going to be a multi-billion dollar industry.’

We already have wide-open borders with welcome signs and promises of “free” healthcare, food, living accommodations, and college, a situation which has spurred more than ten million crossings during Biden’s tenure alone (a devastating and unprecedented record). Naturally, this equates to record revenue for the honchos raking in coyote fees and recurring payments; sometimes, the crossers reimburse the cartels by allowing the abuse of their own children.

With the decriminalization of drugs, we’ve seen open-air drug markets spring up and devour urban centers; expectedly, this demands a product, and more job security for criminal enterprises that deal in fentanyl and illicit drugs. Read below, from the New York Post this past July:

Honduran migrants have taken over San Francisco’s drug market with the aid and blessing of Mexican cartels, according to a new report.

Assault after assault against the Second Amendment has disarmed peaceable citizens; but as always, those intent on harming the innocent can still procure a firearm no problem.

Now add to the list, menthol cigarettes, because Biden and the federal government really cares about your health... which is also why they promote bugs as food, plant-based diets, GMOs, “cross-sex” hormones for children, forced the jab, etc. Give me a break.

Most (un)surprising was the revelation that Biden and his bureaucrats apparently neglected to allow any sort of law enforcement to weigh in on the decision, in order to provide expert advice on possible “unintended consequences.”

The Mexican cartels sure do have friends in high places—and by that I mean the political aristocracy of Washington D.C. For crime syndicates that deal in illicit goods and services (drugs, human, guns) Joe Biden and all his establishment cronies are a welcome American regime.

The Deadly Folly of Our Open Border

Borders are “real or artificial lines that separate geographic areas,” according to National Geographic. They describe the purpose of borders - “to keep out invaders,” to “keep citizens in,” or to “protect resources.”

How is the U.S. border doing on these accounts?

Who is coming into America? Are we being invaded? What about American resources? I don’t mean minerals or timber, but taxpayer-funded resources such as food, shelter, clothing, education, and health care.

Our border is not keeping anyone in, especially virtue-signaling celebrities promising to leave America if a Republican is elected. Cher promises to leave America if Donald Trump is reelected in 2024. She also planned to leave America if George W. Bush was elected in 2000, and two decades later she is still here. The beat goes on, as she sang with Sonny.

Since President Biden took office in early 2021, the Customs and Border Protection Agency (CBP) has “encountered” almost 8 million border crossers, the majority young military aged males. In August alone, that number was 232,972, an annualized rate of 3 million migrants a year.

“Encounters” are only part of the story. How many snuck through without being encountered? Those are called “gotaways”. CBP reports 1,000 “known gotaways” per day.

As Fox News notes, “That means more than 1,000 individuals were seen or detected by Border Patrol agents but not apprehended per day this month. “

1,000 per day? That’s 365,000 per year, more than half the population of Wyoming. If you use the figure of 8 million known migrants during the Biden presidency, that’s more than the population of all but the 12 most populous U.S. states.

Image: YouTube screen grab

How many were undetected? That number is unknowable but the Center for Immigration Studies estimates somewhere between 50 and 68 percent of illegal border crossers are caught. How can they be sure?

How reliable is that number? How can they know what they can’t even measure? What if far fewer are caught? You don’t know what you don’t know.

The House Judiciary Committee also reports

1.7 million known ‘gotaways’ have evaded Border Patrol and escaped into the interior since January 20, 2021, with untold numbers of unknown ‘gotaways avoiding detection during that period.

America’s open border czar, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, during recent Congressional testimony, reluctantly offered this gem:

600,000 migrants evaded apprehension this year alone as they illegally crossed the border into the U.S.

Additionally, Mayorkas did not have information readily available on whether the 169 terror watch list members who illegally crossed the southern border were in jail or deported.

Again, these are the border crossers they “know” about. How many crossed in the dead of night, encountered no one, and were undetected? 10 percent more? 100 percent more? 1,000 percent more?

And who are among these “gotaways”? Is it easy to cross the border undetected and get away? Who is more likely to evade detection, a mother with two young children, or a 25-year-old man with some military-type training, or, in other words, a potential terrorist or criminal?

I’m not sure what’s taught in Hamas or Hezbollah training camps, but if these warriors are being sent to illegally cross into the U.S. across the southern border, you can be sure detection avoidance is in their training curriculum.

As reported by Gateway Pundit,

Federal officials have seen an alarming increase in border crossers listed on the U.S. Terror Screening Dataset, the official name for what is commonly called the “terrorist watchlist.”

In fiscal 2023, which ends this month, Border Patrol agents have apprehended 172 such people, all but three of them along the southwest border. When all U.S. places of entry are added – by land, sea and air – another 564 people on the watchlist were caught, bringing the total to 736.

So, it’s not simply poor young families “risking everything for a better life” as Time claims. Or MS-13 members, a.k.a., “God’s children” as Nancy Pelosi sympathized. Or an “opportunity” as Pelosi also once acknowledged. Opportunity for what? Terrorism? Democrat votes?

What’s the danger to America with our open border?

After Hamas attacked Israel, the FBI issued this statement on October 9, “The FBI does not have specific and credible intelligence indicating a threat to the United States stemming from the Hamas attacks in Israel.”

How things have changed in just a few weeks. Or did things not change but we are finally getting a peek behind FBI obfuscation?

In Congressional testimony last week, FBI Director Christopher Wray claimed, “The FBI is not tracking “currently operating” terror cells or foreign terror cells in the United States” as summarized by The Last Refuge. Why not? Are they too busy tracking Catholics or school board parents?

Then comes the money quote from Wray, “The gaps in our intelligence are real, and that’s something we have concerns about.” Ya think? I hope they are doing far more than just having concerns.

Director Wray said, “We haven’t seen evidence that it’s actually happening yet” speaking of foreign terrorist directed attacks in the U.S. That’s comforting. Once the attack happens, “seeing evidence” is too late as it will be obvious to the world and of no benefit to the victims.

The Last Refuge outlines how many mass shooters and terrorists that the FBI had been fully aware of and watching, doing nothing preemptively but waiting until Americans were killed before acting on their knowledge.

These include the Boston Marathon bombers, the San Bernadino terrorists, the Colorado grocery store shooter, the Pulse Nightclub killer, and so on.

Instead, the FBI is wasting time organizing and inspiring the Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping plot and the January 6 “insurrection.” They send agents to investigate garage door pull handles that resemble a noose, harass parents attending school board meetings, and spy on and raid their political opponents and his associates while giving the current president and his family a pass on bribery and foreign influence peddling.

The Department of Homeland Security is no better. Secretary Mayorkas insists “The border is secure.”  At the same time, his special agents are “making sandwiches” for illegal migrants. It’s a clown show.

Another caravan, 7,000 strong and growing, is heading to the U.S. while the Biden administration claims no less than 17 times that the border is secure.

End Wokeness tweeted how the Biden administration is organizing this invasion. Talk about a real insurrection.

This is Irineo Mujica

He is the man leading a massive caravan of illegal migrants to the U.S.

He admits that this crisis is a coordinated attack on the United States and Biden is allowing it

Chinese influencers are instructing migrants how to cross the U.S. southern border.

How many in the caravan are Hamas or Hezbollah terrorists? And President Biden seems just fine with it all.

Day late and dollar short FBI Director Wray acknowledges,

“In just the past few weeks, multiple foreign terrorist organizations have called for attacks against Americans and the West," he added, noting al-Qaida "issued its most specific call to attack the United States in the last five years."

As reported by the Times of India, “Hezbollah has issued a stern warning, stating that it will target American positions in the Middle East if the United States directly intervenes in the Israel-Hamas conflict.”

Could the U.S. homeland be next?

For Biden officials, including Wray and Mayorkas, this is a dereliction of their constitutional duty. Republicans are good at holding hearings, huffing and puffing, but not using their Congressional authority to impeach or defund agencies that are ignoring their obligation to protect America and the homeland.

There will be plenty of finger pointing after an attack but beforehand, nothing but cheap talk. For Republicans it’s a brilliant campaign issue, “It’s the border stupid.” Yet they fiddle while America burns.

Wake up before it’s too late. It’s not migration. It’s an invasion.
