LIAR AND BRIBES SUCKER

"The Worst President in the Last 100 Years" - Victor Davis Hanson

Biden was 25 in 1967, and was attending Syracuse University College of Law, from which he graduated 76th in a class of 85 in 1968. By 1967, when he supposedly talking to the Egyptian government on behalf of Golda Meir, he had already embarked upon his career of lying. A Syracuse College of Law faculty report on December 1, 1965 stated that Biden “used five pages from a published law review article without quotation or attribution,” and recommended that he fail a legal methods course because of his plagiarism.

Levin charged the Democrats with unbridled hypocrisy, accusing Biden of racism.

“This effort to try and turn conservatism into the KKK, into neo-Nazi ism is really amazing, especially considering the history of the Democrat Party and its embrace of the KKK and slavery and segregation and Jim Crow. Despite its history of filibustering the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act, despite its current president, Joe Biden being a racist and segregationist early in his career opposing public school integration, calling it a jungle,” he said.


GAI’s Bruner: FBI Corruption ‘Goes All the Way to the Top’

Seamus Bruner, Director of Research at the Government Accountability Institute, says on the latest episode of the Drill Down podcast that FBI Director Christopher Wray’s Congressional testimony last week only confirms Bruner’s own research into the Bureau.

“The past four FBI directors have all been involved in some kind of political scandal, weaponizing the Bureau against political opponents,” Bruner tells host Eric Eggers.

The two GAI investigators note that the last few weeks have not been good for the FBI. New findings from two congressional inquiries have exposed several instances where FBI personnel actively impeded investigations and tipped off Hunter Biden’s attorneys to a planned search of a storage facility belonging to him.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) challenged current FBI Director Christopher Wray last week about approving surveillance of parents who spoke up against policy decisions at local school board meetings and about a local field office’s surveillance conducted against Latin-Mass Catholics as possible “domestic terrorists.”

Now there are further revelations that the FBI colluded with a foreign government – Ukraine – to silence Americans on social media. The House Judiciary Committee’s subcommittee on the “weaponization” of the federal government reported last week that the FBI facilitated censorship requests coming from Ukraine’s own intelligence service (SBU), passing them along to Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. “In so doing, the FBI violated the First Amendment rights of Americans and potentially undermined our national security,” the committee’s report said.

Bruner, author of Compromised: How Money and Politics Drive FBI Corruption,” has been reviewing the committee reports, and concludes, “Getting to the bottom of all this, we see that it goes all the way to the top.”

“Eighty percent of GOP voters believe that the 2024 election is also going to have nefarious involvement by the FBI,” he adds “That’s a big problem. When Americans can’t trust both their elections and their law enforcement, they don’t have a whole lot of options”.

Special Counsel Jack Smith, defender of two-tiered justice

From UPI via Breitbart:

Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith opposed former President Donald Trump’s request to delay the trial over his alleged mishandling of classified documents.

Ahead of a press conference scheduled Tuesday for lawyers in the case, the Justice Department responded to Trump’s efforts to indefinitely delay the tentative date of Aug. 14 saying the request “borders on the frivolous.”

“There is no basis in law or fact for proceeding in such an indeterminate and open-ended fashion, and the defendants provide none,” wrote assistant special counsel David Harbach.

Trump’s team wrote on Monday that beginning a trial “of this magnitude within six months of indictment is unreasonable, telling, and would result in a miscarriage of justice.”

The special counsel’s team countered that while Trump’s lawyers were provided 800,000 pages of evidence, only 4,500 were “key” documents in the case.

Smith had previously called for the trial to be delayed until December noting the sensitive nature of the classified materials in the case would require special considerations.

However, Trump’s team said that a December trial would make it even more difficult to seat an impartial jury as his 2024 presidential campaign would be ramping up.

Christopher Wray beclowns himself

“Psychopaths are notorious for not answering the question posed them or for answering in a way that seems unresponsive to the question.”   --Robert D. Hare, Without Conscience

Current corrupt FBI director Christopher Wray testified before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday. The man is as unscrupulous as his predecessor James Comey, as disingenuous and as willing to dissemble.  He answered no questions in a straightforward manner but, as he has done before, replied evasively with the arrogance only a psychopath might have under duress.

While he most assuredly thinks he laughed his way out of that hearing, he most certainly revealed himself to be afflicted with some kind of mental disorder, the kind that explains how a person can lie, cheat and maybe even steal without blinking as eye and feel proud of himself for fooling “the people.”   

He refused to admit to Rep. Marsha Blackburn that the Russia collusion hoax that the Obama/Biden cabal visited upon Trump was a hoax.  It was. Everyone knows that by now. The Durham report, ineffectual as it was with regard to accountability, proved the despicable agenda to destroy President Trump began during the 2016 campaign and, once, to their dismay, he was elected, ramped up; it was illegitimate by every constitutional standard.  Those who participated should be in prison.  But they’re not.  

Meanwhile, the wholly venal DOJ is doing everything in its power to see that Donald Trump is convicted of something, anything.  Anything to keep him from being re-elected President.  

Our system of justice, once the most revered in the world, has been corrupted beyond all reason.  It has become something resembling Stalin’s NKVD.  And what is so truly frightening is that AG Garland, Wray, DHS chief Mayorkas and their minions are not remotely embarrassed by their obviously extra-constitutional abuse of the law to silence their opponents.  So secure in their positions of power, they fear no retaliation from our wholly unethical DOJ and/or FBI.  

The US is now a police state, one in which those in power use that power to destroy their critics and political opponents. 

Wray refused to admit to Congressman Matt Gaetz that the FBI has protected the Biden crime family, concealed the facts of their shakedown schemes and outright bribery that amounts to selling out the US to China.  The man is a special breed of cat. He is clearly a malignant narcissist, comfortable lying, at ease with evasiveness.  

He’s proud of himself; he smirks with delight at his talent for dissembling.  He thinks he is fooling not just the members of the committee but the American people as well.  In fact, most of us watching his deceitful performance found him contemptible.  He is a Comey clone; narcissistic, arrogant and pretentious.  He assumes he is worthy of respect and he is not.  He is the kind of man the Founders warned against.  

Never forget John Adams’ famous quote:  "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."  The Comeys, the Wrays, the Mayorkases, the Bidens and their ilk are neither moral nor religious people, despite their claims to the contrary.  

America is at a dangerous crossroads.  The Democrat left has been consumed by the tenets of the WEF – we will “own nothing and be happy.”  The totalitarian agenda has been wholly embraced by the globalist left.  No Democrat, as the party is currently constituted, will dare express a dissenting word.  Their leadership most likely has some kind of leverage over each and every one of them, for they do not deviate from the orders from headquarters.  It seems not one of them has a moral core.

We can all see for ourselves the dire cost of dissent.  Whistleblower Gal Luft has tried to bring the truth of the Biden family corruption to light and the vicious DOJ suddenly charges him with a potential hundred years of imprisonment! The horrific crimes perpetrated against anyone who happened to be present at the Capitol on January 6, 2021 is catastrophically un-American; more proof that we’ve become a police state.  

Christopher Wray’s pathetic appearance before the Judiciary Committee was just more proof that our formerly revered system of justice has been corrupted beyond all reason, beyond all that is right and moral.  Wray no doubt thinks he performed excellently; he bamboozled them all.  But he did not.  Anyone who watched his creepy act must now be more afraid for our nation than before.  

A precious few Republicans properly grilled the man.  The Democrats embarrassed themselves with their smarmy, obsequious praising of Wray, despite his responsibility for making the FBI the least trusted American law enforcement institution in history.  Several of the Republicans brought up the polls that show the FBI is no longer respected and is, in fact, feared, but Wray let that fact roll off his shoulders like water off a duck.  He could not have cared less.  He has power and he means to use it to his own ends and to further the far left’s agenda.  He is a sort of predator who walks among us

Psychopaths have a narcissistic and grossly inflated view of their self-worth and importance, a truly astounding egocentricity and sense of entitlement, and see themselves as the center of the universe, as superior beings who are justified in living according to their own rules.  - Robert D. Hare


Christopher Wray Asked Why FBI Would Pay $1M to Verify Trump-Russia Claim and $3M to Squash Hunter Biden Laptop Story

Why did the FBI pay a million dollars to verify an accusation made against a Republican, then shell out three million to squash a story detrimental to a Democrat, Rep. Barry Moore (R-AL) asked FBI Director Christopher Steele Wednesday.

Rep. Moore pressed Wray on the subject during a House Judiciary hearing regarding the weaponization of the federal government:

“Why would the FBI offer Christopher Steele a million dollars to verify a dossier about Trump-Russia collusion, and then the same FBI offer $3 million to Twitter to squash the story on the Hunter Biden laptop?”

“Do you have any idea why a law enforcement agency would be playing into elections?” Rep. Moore asked the FBI director, who dodged the question by saying the dossier predated his confirmation.

“It’s the same agency paying a million to push one story out, or try to collaborate one story, and three million to squash another story, for political opponents,” Rep. Moore replied.

Wray rationalized the millions spend on the Trump-Russia and Biden laptop initiatives by saying that the FBI has a long history of paying companies for the costs incurred while doing the government’s bidding:

“When there are payments to social media companies, that is by long-standing federal law going back about four decades, where we have to pay companies for their costs in responding to legal process.”

 

“And it's not just social media companies. It's other kinds of businesses as well,” Wray added, possibly suggesting even broader use of FBI funds on similar projects.

 

at today's @judiciarygop hearing, i asked director wray why the fbi would pay twitter $3 million to squash the hunter biden laptop story.

he said paying social media companies is "longstanding precedent".

twitter has only existed for 17 years. pic.twitter.com/ys9ulrtqax

— rep. Barry moore (@repbarrymoore) july 12, 2023

 

As it has turned out, the accusations in Steele dossier used to attack former Republican President Donald Trump have been thoroughly debunked, while the suppressed news report of the existence of the infamous laptop belonging to President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, has proven to be true.

Rep. Moore noted that the FBI’s handling of the stories appears to have been “extremely political,” reflecting poorly on the bureau's reputation:

“But when these stories get out and you understand, certainly the dossier story, and I know that wasn't on your watch, but also the Hunter Biden laptop story, that to me looks political, to the American people it looks political.

“And I'm just an everyday guy, I'm not an attorney, Mr. Wray. But, to me, it looks extremely political and that is why you're having trouble keeping the FBI's reputation afloat.”

EVICTED AMERICA - BIDENOMICS AT WORK - Evictions Will Double From Current Levels As Rental Market Apocalypse Intensifies

CORPORATE LANDLORDS LOOT AMERICA AND DO SO WITH IMPUNITY 

nt Levels As Rental Market Apocalypse Intensifies




The majority of U.S. renters are in danger of losing their homes this year without even knowing about the risks they’re facing. At this point, protection programs have expired, prices have ballooned and the number of evictions is rising at an alarming pace all over the country. In many cities, eviction filing rates have more than doubled already, and a set of factors will further complicate affordability issues and push more Americans into the streets in the next few months. It is being reported that the long-feared eviction tsunami is here, and new data provided by the Princeton Eviction Lab the depth of this crisis that is upending many people's lives in 2023. After a pause caused by the pandemic’s renter protection programs, eviction fillings by landlords are roaring back in recent months, fueled by soaring rent prices and a long-running shortage of affordable rental units. According to the Eviction Lab, a research group at Princeton University, of the 44 million renters nationwide, about 23 million are low-income tenants carrying elevated levels of debt, and they are just one emergency or job loss away from falling behind on rent and facing eviction.  Countrywide, eviction fillings are more than 50% higher than the pre-pandemic average, and in some metros, evictions have already doubled, and cases continue to pile up. Since January 2022, landlords have filed more than 5 million eviction cases. In fact, researchers found that in 20 out of 32 major cities tracked by the group, court filings rose by double- or triple-digit percentages in 2023. In October, Nashville evictions also doubled. Local firms, such as Clever Real Estate Company, report that rent prices in the city shoot up nearly 256% from 2000 to 2022. In the past two years alone, average rents rose from $500 to $1000, according to data provided by the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office. “There’s been an uptick in people getting kicked out of their homes in Nashville in recent months,” one local official said. But the truth is that numbers are up everywhere. Compared to 2022, eviction filings increased by nearly 80% in the 10 states and 34 cities that the Eviction Lab tracks, ad revealed by Peter Hepburn, associate director at the Eviction Lab and an associate sociology professor at Rutgers University, Newark. This impressive surge could spell disaster for tens of millions of tenants. On top of the immediate threat of homelessness, many landlords do not rent to people with an eviction on their record, limiting housing options for struggling Americans for years to come. This year, Zillow estimates the national average rent has ballooned some 26 percent. That means rent is more than $400 a month higher than it was in early 2020. This is a national tragedy that may reach catastrophic proportions if nothing is done to support renters and prevent these companies from price gouging their tenants. An eviction crisis could certainly make our streets more dangerous, weaken our economy and cause an immense amount of suffering in our society. We should be heading towards a path of growth of prosperity, but instead, the agencies that were supposed to serve and protect Americans are leading our nation to the wrong direction, and pushing our citizens to utter financial ruin.




Who Really Benefits From Illegal Immigration? | Victor Davis Hanson.... OTHER THAN NAFTA JOE???

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyRb2xFplKM

More than five million illegal aliens have crossed the U.S.-Mexico border since Joe Biden took office, according to a study from the Federation for American Immigration Reform. With some exceptions, these migrants tend to be low-skilled, poor, and come from countries where violence is normal and women and certain minorities are degraded. By importing millions of foreign nationals who come from countries with cultures and values that are diametrically opposed to ours, American leaders are setting the stage for exactly the kind of strife and turmoil that is occurring in France.




Tom McClintock Breaks Down Biden Border Crisis: 5.5M Illegals at Border, 2.1M Released into U.S., 1.5M Got-Aways

House Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement Chairman Tom McClintock (R-CA) detailed, in numbers, the extent to which the nation’s southern border remains more porous than ever under President Joe Biden’s watch.

During his opening statement at the subcommittee’s hearing on Thursday regarding criminal illegal aliens living throughout the United States, McClintock said the Biden administration’s policies have created “sanctuaries for criminal illegal aliens” while forcing “a dystopian nightmare for law-abiding citizens … who must live in them.”

By the numbers, McClintock said there have been more than 5.5 million illegal aliens encountered at the U.S.-Mexico border since Biden took office in late January 2021 — a foreign population that far exceeds the city of Los Angeles, California.

More than 2.1 million illegal aliens, McClintock said, have been released directly into American communities by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). This is a foreign population equivalent to the city of Houston, Texas.

Similarly, more than 1.5 million illegal aliens are known to have successfully entered the U.S. interior without being apprehended by Border Patrol. This is a foreign population the size of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

“Among the 1.5 million known got-aways, there is no way to estimate the number of terrorists and criminals entering the country,” McClintock said:

But we do know this: By surrendering to border patrol, you are virtually assured of being released into the country. The 1.5 million who have evaded border patrol have done so for a reason: They are either conducting criminal activity or they are hiding criminal records. [Emphasis added]

McClintock also noted the Biden administration “has essentially adopted the sanctuary policies that prevent many dangerous illegal aliens from being deported after they have been convicted and incarcerated for committing other crimes while in the United States.”

Indeed, after the Supreme Court recently ruled that states lack standing to sue over Biden’s so-called “sanctuary country” orders — which ensure most of the nation’s 11 to 22 million illegal aliens are not eligible for deportation — DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas reinstated the orders.

The lack of arrests and deportations from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency under Biden, McClintock said, paints a clear picture of the impact of the orders:

In fiscal year 2020 — the last year of the [Donald] Trump administration — ICE removed 186,000 aliens from the United States. Two years into the Biden administration, deportations have plunged to only 72,000 — a decline of more than 60 percent. [Emphasis added]

The Trump administration removed 104,000 convicted criminals from the country in fiscal year 2020, yet the Biden administration only removed 38,000 in fiscal year 2022. That requires repeating. The number of convicted criminal aliens removed from our country has declined by nearly two-thirds under this administration. [Emphasis added]

Similarly, in 2020, the Biden administration removed just 60 percent of the number of known or suspected gang members as the Trump administration had done just two years prior. [Emphasis added]

As Breitbart News reported, the orders have also ensured that fewer criminal illegal aliens are ever taken into ICE custody, even after their arrests for local crimes.

Since Biden took office, ICE has cut the number of detainers issued to local police. These detainers ask the police to hold illegal aliens in their custody until they can be turned over to ICE agents for arrest and deportation.

Under the Trump administration, ICE issued more than 15,000 detainers a month in parts of 2018 and averaged about 13,000 to 14,000 detainers a month before Fiscal Year 2020. Compare those monthly figures to when Biden took office, and monthly detainers dropped to 2,200 by March 2021.

“Explain to me how this makes our communities safer. Does anyone seriously believe that making it harder to remove criminal illegal aliens from our communities makes our communities safer?” McClintock asked.

Gallup: Most GOP Voters Say Migration Damages U.S. Economy

Two-thirds of GOP voters believe the nation’s economy is made worse by legal and illegal migration, Gallup reported on July 13.

The 64 percent share of GOP votes who say the economy is made “worse” by migration is five times larger than the 14 percent share who say migration makes the economy “better,” Gallup reported.

The 5:1 split also creates a 50-point gap between the party’s two wings, which can be described as employees and employers, or populists and business libertarians, or voters and donors.

In contrast, most Democrat voters have followed the path demanded by their investor-backed leaders, despite the growing damage to white-collarblue-collar, and black Democrats.

So Gallup reported that 62 percent of Democrats say migration makes the economy “better” while 17 percent say it makes the economy “worse.” Those numbers show a plus 46-point pro-migration gap in the nation’s left-wing party, said Gallup’s June 1-22 poll.

Gallup’s overall result matches other polls that show a plurality of the public now say migration makes their nation “worse off.”

Nationwide, Gallup’s data says Americans split evenly — 39 percent to 38 percent — on whether migration benefits the nation, even though polls show the public underestimates the scale of migration.

The rising opposition is fueled by the public recognition that migration shifts wealth from millions of ordinary Americans toward older investors living in coastal states.

GOP voters’ optimistic views on migration and the economy only began to fall in 2017.

That downturn came as the party’s voters overrode the business-backed GOP leaders and installed immigration-skeptic Donald Trump as party chief and then president. Since 2017, the GOP voters’ views have grown to the 5o-point “worse” score reported by Gallup.

The voters’ views about the economy have created a huge — and also skewed — partisan gap in support for more or less migration, Gallup said.

The parties had broadly similar internal splits over migration from roughly 1993 up to 2012 when President Barack Obama openly sided with pro-migration groups during his 2012 reelection. Since then, most Democrats have supported more migration.

But GOP voters have firmly turned against more migration in recent years, leaving the party with a massive 63-point advantage for the less-migration faction.

Gallup reported:

Currently, 73% of Republicans, matching the prior high from 1995, want immigration decreased, while 10% want it increased, meaning their net preference for more immigration is -63.

By contrast, 40% of Democrats want it increased, while just 18% want it decreased — a +22 net preference score.

The negative view of migration among nearly all GOP voters has largely blocked donor demands for more migration.

But the donors’ economic clout has also blocked the voters’ demands for a reduction in migration.

The populist opposition to migration is being voiced by top GOP legislators, including Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL).  “This country has prioritized the importation of cheap labor,” including legal cheap labor, Rubio wrote in his 2023 book. The book is titled, “Decades of Decadence: How Our Spoiled Elites Blew America’s Inheritance of Liberty, Security, and Prosperity.”

The two parties’ supporters disagree about many aspects of migration:

Swing-voting independents — many of whom care little about migration — have drifted towards a modestly minus-12 point view against migration. “Independents still tilt negative, with 27% wanting it increased and 39% increased, or -12,” while 32 percent say “present level,” Gallup reported.

But that swing-voter skepticism is not being mobilized by GOP leaders. Their passivity is caused by the major GOP donors who strongly oppose a pocketbook pitch to voters who feel pressured in Biden’s high-migration, low-wage economy.

Extraction Migration

The federal government has long operated an unpopular economic policy of Extraction Migration. This colonialism-like policy extracts vast amounts of human resources from needy countries, reduces beneficial trade, and uses the imported workers, renters, and consumers to grow Wall Street and the economy.

The migrant inflow has successfully forced down Americans’ wages and also boosted rents and housing prices. The inflow has also pushed many native-born Americans out of careers in a wide variety of business sectors and contributed to the rising death rate of poor Americans.

The lethal policy also sucks jobs and wealth from heartland states by subsidizing coastal investors with a flood of low-wage workers, high-occupancy renters, and government-aided consumers.

The population inflow also reduces the political clout of native-born Americans, because the population replacement allows elites to divorce themselves from the needs and interests of ordinary Americans.

In many speeches, President Joe Biden’s border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas, says he is building a mass migration system to deliver workers to wealthy employers and investors and “equity” to poor foreigners. The nation’s border laws are subordinate to elite opinion about “the values of our country” Mayorkas claims.

Migration — and especially, labor migration — is unpopular among swing voters. A 54 percent majority of Americans say Biden is allowing a southern border invasion, according to an August 2022 poll commissioned by the left-of-center National Public Radio (NPR).

The 54 percent “Invasion” majority included 76 percent of Republicans, 46 percent of independents, and even 40 percent of Democrats.

 

From April 2020 to April 2021, more than 100,000 Americans died from drug overdoses, according to data from the National Center for Health Statistics. An overwhelming majority of those deaths came from opioids, and fentanyl smuggling has surged at the southern border since the start of Joe Biden's presidency.Joseph Simonson and Collin Anderson 

“Joe Biden is great on immigration. I guess depends on your perspective. If you’re a human trafficker, or drug dealer, you’d give him an A-plus, but theAmerican people would give him an F. The crisis at our border was not only entirely predictable, it was predicted. I predicted that if you campaign all year long on open borders, amnesty, and health care for illegals, you’re going to get more migrants at the border. That’s what’s happened since the election.” SEN. TOM COTTON

Mexican President Lopez Obrador: Don’t Vote Republican

Mexico’s president said he would call for all Hispanics to not vote for Republicans, because they are members of a “corrupt, inhumane, and hypocritical” party. The harsh words come as U.S. politicians call for a stronger response to Mexican cartels, particularly after the recent fatal kidnappings of four Americans.

“If they don’t change their attitude and think they are going to use Mexico for their purposes with propaganda, elections, and politicking, we are going to call for [people] to not vote for that party, for being interventionist, inhumane, hypocrite and corrupt,” said Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO).

Lopez Obrador also blamed the U.S. for the fentanyl crisis, claiming Mexico does not produce or consume the deadly drug.

The Mexican president claimed the Republican Party stood silent after U.S. health authorities approved the use of opioids “supposedly for pain relief.”

Lopez Obrador also criticized the gun lobby for funding Republican candidates amid cartel violence. “Eighty percent of the high-powered weapons used by the delinquency in Mexico are sold in the U.S. and they don’t even have a registry of that,” he said. “Even more, some of the legislators of the Republican Party are financed by the companies that produce the weapons.”

NAME ONE MEX DRUG CARTEL LORD WHO DID NOT VOTE FOR JOE BIDEN! EVEN ONE!!!

Mexican president to US: Fentanyl is your problem

 

MARK STEVENSON

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico’s president said Thursday that his country does not produce or consume fentanyl, despite enormous evidence to the contrary.

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador appeared to depict the synthetic opioid epidemic largely as a U.S. problem, and said the United States should use family values to fight drug addiction.

His statement came during a visit to Mexico by Liz Sherwood-Randall, the White House homeland security adviser, to discuss the fentanyl crisis. It also comes amid calls by some U.S. Republicans to use the U.S. military to attack drug labs in Mexico.

The Mexican government has acknowledged in the past that fentanyl is produced at labs in Mexico using precursor chemicals imported from China. Fentanyl has been blamed for about 70,000 opioid deaths per year in the United States.

“Here, we do not produce fentanyl, and we do not have consumption of fentanyl,” López Obrador said. “Why don't they (the United States) take care of their problem of social decay?"

 He went on to recite a list of reasons why Americans might be turning to fentanyl, including single-parent families, parents who kick grown children out of their houses and people who put elderly relatives in old-age homes “and visit them once a year.”

His statement contrasted sharply with a Thursday tweet from U.S. Ambassador Ken Salazar saying a meeting between Sherwood-Randall and Mexico's attorney general was meant “to enhance security cooperation and fight against the scourge of fentanyl to better protect our two nations.”

There is little debate among U.S. and even Mexican officials that almost all the fentanyl consumed in the United States is produced and processed in Mexico.

 In February, the Mexican army announced it seized more than a half million fentanyl pills in what it called the largest synthetic drug lab found to date. The army said the outdoor lab was discovered in Culiacan, the capital of Sinaloa state.

In the same city in 2021, the army raided a lab that it said probably made about 70 million of the blue fentanyl pills every month for the Sinaloa cartel.

“The president is lying,” said Mexican security analyst David Saucedo. “The Mexican cartels, above all the CJNG ( Jalisco New Generation Cartel) and the Sinaloa Cartel have learned to manufacture it.”

 “They themselves buy the precursor chemicals, set up laboratories to produce fentanyl and distribute it to cities in the United States and sell it,” Saucedo said. “Little by little they have begun to build a monopoly on fentanyl, because the Mexican cartels are present along the whole chain of production and sales.”

While it is true that fentanyl consumption appears to remain low in Mexico and largely confined to northern border areas, that may be because the Mexican government is so bad at detecting it. A 2019 study in the border city of Tijuana showed that 93% of samples of methamphetamines and heroin there contained some fentanyl.

Saucedo said fentanyl exports to the U.S. are so lucrative for Mexican cartels that they previously had not seen a need to develop a domestic market for the drug.

 “It is true that fentanyl consumption in Mexico is marginal, but some mid-level cartels have begun selling it in border cities and in big cities like Leon, Mexico City and Monterrey,” Saucedo said.

On Wednesday, U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham held a news conference, saying he wanted “to unleash the fury and might of the U.S. against these cartels."

“The second step that we will be engaging in is give the military the authority to go after these organizations wherever they exist,” Graham said. "Not to invade Mexico. Not to shoot Mexican airplanes down. But to destroy drug labs that are poisoning Americans.”

López Obrador said Mexico would not accept such threats, calling them “an insult to Mexico and a lack of respect for our independence and sovereignty.”

López threatened to start a campaign in the United States asking Mexicans and Hispanics who live there not to vote for Republicans.

 “We are going to issue a call not to vote for that party, because they are inhuman and interventionist,” López Obrador said.

Security analyst Alejandro Hope said López Obrador appeared trapped between his own “hugs, not bullets” strategy of not confronting cartels — which plays well among his supporters — and increasing U.S. pressure, especially from Republicans. Portraying himself as the defender of Mexico's sovereignty has been an easy out for López Obrador in the past.

Hope said the Mexican president may not realize how much the issue of declaring Mexican cartels terrorist organizations could become a conservative rallying cry in 2024, just as former President Donald Trump's call for a border wall was in 2016.

“It's the wall, version 2024,” said Hope. “He (López Obrador) believes everybody is as willing to make deals as Trump, but many of these (Republicans) are much more ideological.”

 “The problem is that it puts the Biden administration in a terrible position, it puts it between the Republicans' intransigence and López Obrador's intransigence,” Hope said.

Marcelo Ebrard, Mexico's top diplomat, wrote in his Twitter account Thursday that proposals like Graham's would be “catastrophic for bilateral anti-drug cooperation.”

“They (Republicans) know that the fentanyl epidemic did not originate in Mexico, but in the United States,” Ebrard wrote. “They know that more work is being done against fentanyl now than ever.”

 Mexicans, both in government and outside it, are clearly afraid of fentanyl use increasing in Mexico. A civic group has launched a campaign of painting walls with the slogan “Mxsinfentanilo” — “Mexico without fentanyl” — and López Obrador has launched a series of anti-drug TV ads.

But once again, López Obrador's government appears to view fentanyl as a U.S. problem.

In the ads launched in November, the Mexican government used videos of homeless people and open-air drug users in Philadelphia’s embattled Kensington neighborhood to try to scare young people away from drugs.

Report: ‘Dangerous’ NYC Migrant Shelters Filled with Gang Members

New York City’s migrant shelters are plagued with “volatile” and “dangerous” conditions, prompting a search by city officials to hire private security guards for the facilities, a report details.

Since the spring of last year, more than 84,000 border crossers and illegal aliens have arrived in New York City with about 50,000 remaining in shelters across the city, now outnumbering native New Yorkers.

Gregory Floyd with Teamsters Local 237 told the New York Post that the migrant shelters are too dangerous for the unarmed peace officers he represents. Some, Floyd said, are gang members.

“There are migrants who are gang members in these facilities,” Floyd told the Post.

“It’s volatile. It’s dangerous,” he continued. “We don’t know if all these migrants are properly vetted. My members are unarmed.”

As Breitbart News reported, more than six-in-ten border crossers and illegal aliens who have arrived in New York City since the spring of last year are living off local taxpayers in subsidized housing and shelters — including luxury hotels like the Roosevelt Hotel.

The sheer volume of border crossers and illegal aliens staying in shelters has increased the system’s population by more than 110 percent since Adams took office. To afford subsidizing new arrivals, Adams has said New Yorkers will see public services like meals for senior citizens and library hours cut.

Every day, illegal immigration is costing New Yorkers nearly $8 million, and by the middle of next year, Mayor Eric Adams predicts it will have cost more than $4.2 billion.
