The New Governing Coalition

The United States has traditionally had a government whereby citizens elected officials who were empowered to make decisions for the public. That is the core principle of a representative republic.

Just in the past year, however, we have seen our representatives in both the House and the Senate undermine the will of the people who elected them.

Let’s consider just three issues: the debt ceiling, the border, and the Ukraine War.

The Debt Ceiling: Despite Kevin McCarthy’s promises to hold the debt ceiling, he caved to Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell. In meeting at the White House, he not only agreed to raise the debt ceiling, but he agreed to let President Biden spend without caps not for one, but two years.

According to a left-leaning CNN poll, 79% of Republican voters opposed raising the debt ceiling unless serious budget cuts were made.

Fourteen of those voters’ representatives in the Senate voted to raise the debt ceiling. In the House, 149 of 222 representatives, or nearly 70 percent, voted for the unlimited, no-capped debt ceiling raise.

They went against the will of their constituents and agreed to fund all the injurious policies of the Biden Administration.

The Border: The now infamous McConnell border security bill, which would have codified the ‘legal’ crossing of 5,000 illegal migrants a day under the supervision and control of DHS secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, was so outrageous that even Senator James Langford and his boss and bill instigator Senator McConnell could not vote for it in the end.

This bill had no funds for finishing the wall, implementing ‘Remain in Mexico,’ or any deterrent to illegal immigration. It was a sneaky ploy to ensure that illegal immigration would go on in perpetuity at a minimum rate of 5,000 migrants a day.

According to a PEW report, 91 percent of Republicans want the border to be secured. The McConnell-Langford bill was so out-of-line that the Oklahoma state legislature censured the senator.

The Ukraine War: Americans have steadily lost interest in supporting President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian oligarchs who are pushing this prolonged war. 

Estimates claim that 500,000 Ukrainians have already died. Zelensky cannot recruit more men as they are fleeing the country in droves and the oligarchs and military are hopelessly corrupt. Zelensky’s generals, some of whom Zelensky has fired, are refusing to step down.

The Biden connection to Ukraine and the Senate’s obsession with the corrupt country both need to be investigated, but the two issues aren’t. There has been no accounting of the $120 billion already sent to Ukraine, but another $60 trillion has just been passed by the Senate.

Many believe the Senate in particular are behind the war because they are committed war hawks, or neocons, or because the Military Industrial Complex is lobbying hard and making a fortune over the continuation of the war. Others believe that many in the Senate and House are benefitting financially from the war.

In the most recent Senate vote, 18 Republican senators, or over 30 percent, voted with the Democrats to pass a bill giving another $60 billion to Ukraine and additional funds to Israel and Taiwan.

According to a Fox News poll, sixty-one percent of Republican voters believe the United States is giving too much money to Ukraine while only 35 percent believe the U.S. should continue.

As a result of Republican congressional actions, neither Republican members of the Senate or the House are representing Republican constituents. Their voting actions will result in open borders, erosion of U.S. sovereignty, payments to the United Nations and NGOs, continuation of the Green New Deal, erosion of the dollar as the global currency, erosion of American culture in schools, and no attempt to secure U.S. elections.

In addition, Republican lawmakers are actively trying to restrain through legislation what President Trump can do if he wins a second term. In particular, Republican senators are working on a bill that would limit his ability to deport illegal aliens. 

Senator Ron Johnson is claiming that what is evolving rapidly in the Senate is a New Governing Coalition. The Senate is not using this term but passing legislation which they claim is ‘bipartisan.’ In short, bipartisan means Republicans, which are basically the Controlled Opposition, teaming with Biden Democrats to achieve the agenda outlined above.

Why are Republicans betraying the public trust? Very simple. Just as there is no longer representative democracy in this country, we no longer have a Republican party. We now have two parties, still ill-defined: the Globalist Party and the Nationalist Party.

The transition from Republican-Democrat to Globalist-Nationalist parties is exposed in the way Congress votes

In the Senate, the Globalist Party is consistently represented by 51 Democrats and 18 Republicans. The Nationalist Party is consistently represented by 31 senators. In the House, the Globalist Party is consistently represented by 210 Democrats and 110 Republicans. The Nationalist Party is consistently represented by about 112 members.

Thus the Globalist Party consists of 69 percent of the Senate and 65 percent of the House. Constituents, however, voted for 49 percent of the Senate and 51 percent of the House.

Had their representatives voted as their constituents wanted, Biden would have been forced to close the border, inflation would be lower due to reduced government spending, and the loss of funding for Ukraine would force Zelenskyy to negotiate a truce with Putin.

Under the New Governing Coalition that didn’t happen and, most likely, will not.

Sens. Vance, Lee, and Johnson Join Elon and Vivek to Slam ‘Endless Funding’ for Ukraine

Sens. J.D. Vance (R-OH), Mike Lee (R-UT), and Ron Johnson (R-WI) joined Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk in an X Space on Monday for more than one hour to slam efforts to rush through tens of millions of dollars in additional funding for Ukraine’s stalemate war against Russia.

The discussion occurred before a crucial expected Monday night procedural vote on the foreign aid package. Sixty senators are needed for that vote on cloture to end debate on the bill, clearing the way for a likely Wednesday vote on final passage.

The trio of senators urged listeners to contact their House members to demand opposition to the package, which has suffered from increased unpopularity as its details are exposed.

“The assumption, as of a day ago, was the thing would certainly pass,” said Vance:

I still think that it’s likely to pass, but I think what we’ve done is two things today. We’ve sort of commandeered the floor of the Senate using various procedural mechanisms to try to delay the thing as much as possible. I think it’s given time for the news media and others to sort of surface some of the important problems with the legislation. And also, I think, sort of gin up our House colleagues to prepare to stop this thing.

“It funds Ukraine to the tune of another $61 billion,” Vance explained, saying the bills fail to “meaningfully address the problems that we have within our own defense industrial base.”

“It does not actually articulate or force the articulation of a strategy for how to end the conflict to begin with. So you basically have a blank check — or a near blank check — for a strategy that’s completely gone off the rails.”

Lee called out his Republican colleagues for sending aid to Ukraine at the expense of America’s own interests.

“By voting yes and passing this bill now, it empowers drug cartels, it dissolves our borders, it spends insane amounts of money that we don’t have on the priorities of foreign countries all at the same time,” he said.

Lee also slammed the bills’ proponents for defeating an effort led by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) to increase accountability and oversight of the aid to the notoriously corrupt Ukrainian government through appointment of an inspector general.

“These are not choir boys,” Lee said. “These are not Boy Scouts. These are not Girl Scouts. These are people who have really set world records for corruption. It’s an art form over there.”

Vance laid out the arguments from Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Mitch McConnell (R-KY) for rushing the aid through without further accountability measures.

“The basic argument is that we have to rush resources to Ukraine immediately, or they’re liable to fall to Russian aggression,” he said. “And it’s all basically an argument made under the gun that unless you approve this appropriation of resources and weapons, then you will allow Russia to win. So it’s a kind of moral blackmail.”

Supporters of yet more aid to Ukraine can not admit the reality that the war is not winnable for Ukraine, Vance continued. “They can’t admit that this isn’t going well because if they admitted that, it would cause too much psychological harm, and they’d have to cut bait.”

Johnson added that proponents argue that it is in politicians’ naked political interests to support the aid because “it’s helping build our industrial base, and so it’s creating jobs in your state. And I call that a depraved justification.”

Musk, who noted his contributions to Ukraine’s war efforts, echoed the assessment of the trio of senators that the war is ultimately not winnable and that a peace deal is in their best interests.

Ukraine is “losing people every day,” he said. “And if you’re going to spend lives, it must be for a purpose.”

Musk continued:

There is no way in hell that Putin is going to lose. If he would back off, he would be assassinated. And for those who want regime change in Russia, they should think about: Who is the person that could take out Putin? And is that person likely to be a peacenik? Probably not. They’re probably gonna be even harder, even more hardcore than Putin if they took him out.

Ramaswamy detailed additional “unacceptable” risks to American and global interests from continued “endless funding” of the fighting in Ukraine, arguing that Americans see “daily strengthening of the military alliance between Russia and China, which, when combined, is the single greatest increase for the risk of World War III that we’ve seen in the post-World War II era.”

If the foreign aid passes the Senate, as is expected, the House must still act. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) would likely face a rebellion from members of the Republican conference if he brought the bill to the floor.

Monday night, after the conclusion of the X Space, Johnson seemed to throw cold water on the Senate’s package, echoing earlier statements that Congress must address American border security first.

“In the absence of having received any single border policy change from the Senate, the House will have to continue to work its own will on these important matters,” a Johnson statement read. “America deserves better than the Senate’s status quo.”

The timing before Monday night’s vote is important, sending the message to any on-the-fence Republican senators that a vote on the unpopular aid package would imperil their political standing for legislation that will not become law.

Some Democrats have insisted they will use all the parliamentary tools at their disposal to bring the bill to the floor, although a path forward for the legislation in the House is unclear.

Mexico logs biggest meth lab raid under current admin

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican armed forces said on Monday they had dismantled a clandestine meth "mega-laboratory" in northern Sonora state, marking the largest drug laboratory busted under the current administration.

"This is the largest laboratory we have secured during the current administration and represents more than 50% of the drugs and precursors seized this year," Mexico's navy said in a statement on X, alongside photos showing large containers and white sacks at the rural camp near Rancho Viejo.

The navy said it had seized 4.13 metric tons (91,073 lb) of meth and 1.27 tons of precursor chemicals used to make the synthetic drug.

The site counted 72 laboratory reactors, it added, five times more than the 13 discovered at what was previously considered the country's largest clandestine lab, which had also been discovered in Sonora.

The U.S. has been pushing Mexico to crack down on drug trafficking, particularly fentanyl, even as leaked documents revealed the Mexican army revised up the number of drug lab raids it said it had conducted under the administration of President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who is in his final year of office.

Mexico has meanwhile been pushing for the United States to take a firmer stance on the illicit trafficking of firearms from the United States to drug cartels across the border.

Cartel Gunmen Shoot Up, Graffiti Mexican Border City Amid Turf War

Rio Bravo Attack
Breitbart Texas / Cartel Chronicles

Cartel gunmen stepped up their attacks against rivals in the ongoing turf war for control of key border cities in Tamaulipas. This increase in violence led to an increase in shootouts, targeted murders, murders of innocent bystanders, and the use of graffiti to show off their incursions.

The violence follows the arrest of a top leader with the Escorpiones faction of the Gulf Cartel. That faction had control of the city of Rio Bravo and would use it to launch attacks on the city of Reynosa, which is controlled by Los Metros.

Since the start of the week, the Gulf Cartel faction known as Los Metros began setting up roadblocks along the key entrances to Reynosa, Tamaulipas, as a way to keep law enforcement from interfering with their attacks on the border town of Rio Bravo. Additionally, days before, they began knocking down police cameras as a way to hide their troop movements as they prepared to move armored vehicles to the eastern part of Reynosa in preparation for the attacks.  In total, the group destroyed 16 police cameras by either shooting at them or knocking them down with trucks.

Since Monday early morning, February 5, Los Metros began their attack on Rio Bravo, setting off widespread violence throughout the city. During one of their attacks, the gunmen shot and killed 30-year-old Jesus Sevillaja Marmolejo, an innocent farmer who was coming out of a local bar the gunmen were attacking.

After their attacks, Los Metros spray-painted houses and walls with the call signs of some key leaders to taunt their rivals and show they had entered the city.

The attacks in Rio Bravo also led to violence in Reynosa, where gunmen clashed with police forces who spotted them moving their convoys of gunmen. In response to the violence, school officials stopped their classes for several days as a precaution since, in recent days, one high school student had to be rushed to a hospital after being struck by a stray bullet.

The violence in Reynosa comes as the Tamaulipas government refuses to acknowledge the violence in the region and falsely claims that the region is safe.

Gunmen Kidnap U.S. Citizen, Shoot Alleged DEA Agent’s Wife in Separate Attacks near Cancun

Authorities in Mexico are investigating the shooting of the wife of a retired DEA agent and the recent kidnapping of a U.S. citizen near Mexico’s Caribbean hotspot of Cancun. Mexican authorities reportedly tried to cover up one of the cases as a way to diminish the growing perception that violence has taken over the country.

The shooting of the woman took place on Friday night in the tourist area of Tulum, approximately 70 miles south of Cancun, in the state of Quintana Roo. According to the local news outlet NotiCaribe, the attack took place at a beach along the Tulum-Boca Paila highway. Local authorities tried to cover up the attack where one woman, who they claim is the wife of a retired DEA agent living in Cancun, was shot, the outlet reported. A second victim described only as a male sustained gunshot wounds, however, additional details have not been released. U.S. officials have not provided any information to confirm or deny the incident.

The shooting comes just days after Mexico’s military rescued a U.S. citizen from New York who had relocated to Quintana Roo and had been kidnapped. The victim spent three days in captivity before the rescue operation took place. Authorities revealed that the kidnapping was ransom-related as the gunmen sought to collect approximately $15,000 USD from the victim’s relatives.

As Breitbart Texas reported, the once peaceful region of Mexico’s Caribean coast has become a hotspot for violence as rival criminal organizations fight for control of lucrative drug trafficking routes into Mexico and the lucrative drug distribution for the large number of tourists that continue to visit.

Oregon County Declares State of Emergency After 4 Fentanyl Overdoses in 6 Hours

Emergency personnel in a small Oregon city had to respond to four separate fentanyl overdoses in a span of just six hours on Tuesday. By the next day, the entire county was placed in a state of emergency due to the prominence of the deadly drug.

Officials in Bend — a city of about 100,000 people, more than three hours south of Portland — first responded to a fentanyl overdose around 8:00 a.m. at Second Street and Franklin Avenue, KTVZ reported.

Just before 1:00 p.m., police found two more people overdosing on fentanyl in the parking lot of a Jimmy John’s sandwich shop.

Only 46 minutes had elapsed by the time police had to again respond to the area of the first overdose to aid someone else also suffering from fentanyl poisoning.

All four individuals survived with the help of Narcan administered by first responders, according to the local news station. 

The life-saving overdose reversal drug has been carried by Bend police and numerous other law enforcement agencies around the country due to the uptick in fentanyl usage in recent years. In October 2023, the Biden administration urged schools across the nation to stock up on Narcan.

In a letter from U.S. Secretary of Education Michael Cardona and National Drug Control Policy Director Rahul Gupta to school administrators, it was stated that the number of fatal drug overdoses in 2022 was “unacceptably high” at 107,000.

“In the midst of this fentanyl overdose epidemic, it is important to focus on measures to prevent youth drug use and ensure that every school has naloxone and has prepared its students and faculty to use it,” the officials wrote, using the generic name of the drug.

The four overdoses taking place in such a short period “stretched” Bend Fire & Rescue’s resources to the brink, KTVZ reported, citing EMS Chief Drew Norris. 

“For a typical overdose call, they respond with an ambulance and two engines,” Norris said.

Following Bend’s crisis on Tuesday, Deschutes County commissioners voted to enact a 90-day countywide fentanyl state of emergency, closely echoing the one declared in Portland by Gov. Tina Kotek (D-OR) on January 30.

“We have fentanyl everywhere and our young people are dying,” said Patti Adair, Deschutes County Commission Chair. “We need to solve this problem.”

“Now is the time for action. We’re experiencing a crisis and need the community to understand how dangerous this is,” said Deschutes County Commissioner Tony DeBone. “We need the community to come together and look out for one another. This is getting worse every day.” 

Commissioner Phil Chang abstained from the vote due to the response strategy not being “fully developed.”

“We are absolutely having a crisis,” Chang said. “However, I am abstaining from today’s vote because I don’t think our next steps have been fully developed. I want to better understand what actions the County is prepared to take.” 

While the order doesn’t actually include any official new policies or resources, commissioners DeBone and Adair voted for the declaration due to the increased awareness it will bring to the issue.

Both commissioners have lobbied the state legislature in recent days to make changes to Measure 110, the drug decriminalization act that Oregonians now largely want reversed after seeing dastardly effects in the three years since it passed.

US, Mexico Increase Data Sharing to Curb Fentanyl Trade

‘We all agreed that this is a shared threat not only for us countries in North America, but around the globe,’ one official said.

Opioid-related overdose deaths have skyrocketed over the past decade.

Deaths because of synthetic opioids such as fentanyl have seen the largest spike, increasing by more than 580 percent annually from 2012 to 2017, and remain elevated, according to the National Center for Drug Abuse Statistics.
Mexico and the United States are most hard-pressed to combat the illicit flow of fentanyl, a synthetic opioid primarily manufactured in Latin America with precursor chemicals imported from communist China.

‘Pawn Stars’ Boss Rick Harrison Blasts Biden’s Border Policies Over ‘Disgusting’ Fentanyl Crisis After Son’s Death

Rick Harrison, the star of the popular Pawn Stars TV series, is blasting Joe Biden’s massive failures at the border in the wake of his son’s death from a fentanyl overdose.

Harrison’s son, Adam, who was not part of his father’s TV show, died at 39 from an overdose of the drug on Jan. 19.

Now, during an interview with Fox News, the 59-year-old TV star praised Donald Trump and slammed politicians now in charge for being “complicit” in the millions of fentanyl deaths befalling this country.

“He’s an incredible individual. He wants to do something about this,” Harrison said of Trump and his desire to end the flow of fentanyl coming across the border by drug running criminals.

“There’s so many different places you have to start at, all at once, but one of the major ones is get the damn stuff out of the country and stop making it so cheap to get high,” Harrison continued.

“My understanding is it’s like $5 to buy a fentanyl pill. Anybody can afford it. I mean, make it difficult,” he said.

“Let’s start arresting the people selling it, arresting the people bringing it over the border, close down the border, make it really expensive. Let’s make a fentanyl death rare,” he said.

“It’s insane because they’re letting it happen,” he said of today’s politicians in charge of policy. “They’re literally letting it happen. They’re not doing anything about it. So they’re complicit in all these deaths.”

“Nothing is getting done about it,” Harrison said of the illegal drugs sweeping the country. “It’s the equivalent of a 737 loaded with passengers crashing every single day. That’s how many people die from it. And, you know, the politicians don’t want to talk about it. The news doesn’t want to talk about it.”

“A big part of is politics. I mean, we know where it’s all coming from. It’s all coming right across the border, and they won’t do anything about it. I mean, they’re doing nothing,” he insisted.

U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, Urban Affairs

Harrison went on to blast Joe Biden’s regime for trying to sue Texas to for the Lone Star State from protecting its own borders.

“Literally, we have a government that’s suing the state saying, ‘No, you can’t block tons of people coming into this country,'” the TV star said. “We don’t know what they’re carrying on them. And we don’t know what kind of people they are. It’s insanity. I mean, we just need common sense.”

“I think any drug dealer that sells fentanyl, I mean, they should get at least manslaughter charges,” Harrison exclaimed. “Just selling the stuff should be attempted murder. I mean, it’s that bad and nothing’s being done about it.”

Harrison then pointed out that so many cities in the U.S. are “turning into third-world countries because of this drug,” and slammed liberal state such as Oregon for treating abuse of the drug so lightly, adding, “Like in Oregon, you can have fentanyl on you. It’s like a $20 ticket.”

C-SPAN

Harrison suggested that the first thing that needs to be done is to “shut down the border.” He also advised an end to the left’s latest popular notion of “no bail” rules, and that penalties for selling or possessing fentanyl need to be stiffened.

He also railed about all the billions being spent in Ukraine when there are so many problems that such a huge amount of money could have helped fix in the U.S.A.

“You take Ukraine. I mean, we could have built like 10 border walls. We could have fixed the freeways in this country,” he continued. “For all the money we gave them, there’s so many things we could have fixed,” the exasperated TV star said.

“I think there was one figure — we could have gave every homeless veteran $1 million for the money we’re spending over there. I mean, think about that. We’re doing nothing for homeless veterans, but we’re giving credit cards to illegal aliens, housing them for free and sending all this money to Ukraine,” he said.
