'60 Minutes' Interview of Mexican President
Reveals a Lot About Our 'Friends' to the South
Posted By: Imright, 3/25/2024 4:05:30 PM
You might assume that any "60 Minutes" interview would amount to a puffy softball-lobbing affair with some known left-wing politician or celebrity. Unless, of course, it is some random and rare conservative they can play a game of "gotcha" with. But on Sunday, CBS News' Sharyn Alfonsi interviewed Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. What Obrador had to say about fentanyl coming across the southern border from Mexico and the border crisis itself was a perfect study of the idea that just because someone is your neighbor doesn't necessarily mean they're your friend. It is also an example of just how weak America appears on the world stage.

Following the lead of the Communists in the Soviet Union, the American Left for three-quarters of a century has been incessantly and mindlessly accusing Conservatives, and anyone opposed to their statist agenda, of being Nazis. Which, together with the accusation of racism, has become the ultimate invective.
As history is always written by the victors, the Soviet Union, an ally of the Nazi Germany from 1939-41, sought to obfuscate its role in initiating the Second World War. They, with the cooperation of United States and Great Britain, succeeded in recasting National Socialism, or Nazism, as being on the right-wing of the political spectrum.
Leave it to "60 Minutes" to bring on the leader of a "misinformation research group" and then fail to disclose all the pertinent details of her background. The left-wing news program was caught red-handed when it was revealed that Kate Starbird isn't actually an unbiased arbiter of truth and fiction. The background of this story involves the following interview, in which Starbird and "60 Minutes'" Lesley Stahl complain that X (formerly Twitter) wasn't at their beck and call to censor content they deem to be "misinformation."

Former Joe Biden spokeswoman Jen Psaki said on her show this week that she does not appreciate being compared to former RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel.
Psaki claims that her point is not about Democrats vs. Republicans, a laughable point.
She paints a picture of herself as a noble truth teller, as opposed to McDaniel.
FOX News reports: Jen Psaki erupts over comparisons between her and Ronna McDaniel: ‘Truth versus lies’. During Monday night’s installment of “Inside with Jen Psaki,” a segment on McDaniel began with Psaki decrying those who likened her to the former Republican Party leader. She said much of the criticism had come from the “right-wing ecosystem”
Engineers have blamed the deadly collapse of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key bridge on a design flaw that is present in tens of thousands of US bridges.
Several experts told DailyMail.com that the Maryland bridge was missing critical protection systems that would have stopped the the nearly 105,000 ton container ship from smashing into the bridge's support.
The Francis Scott Key Bridge was built in 1977 and anti-collision devices like fenders or protection cells were not introduced until the 1980s.

I must admit that I did not have "Chris Cuomo scorches Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski over NBC News drama" on my bingo card for this week, but I am so here for it. When last we left you with the duncetastic duo, they were using their platform on MSNBC Monday to join their other panicked colleagues in collectively condemning their employer, NBC News, for bringing on former Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel as a paid political analyst headed into the 2024 election campaign season.
“To be clear, we believe NBC News should seek out conservative Republican voices to provide balance in their election coverage.
New York Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul has proposed $2.4 billion in spending for migrants in her latest budget proposal, along with plans to spur residential development in a state with some of the highest rent and home prices in the country.
Hochul released her budget proposal on Tuesday to address the pressures facing the Empire State, one of which is Joe Biden’s continuing migrant crisis.
The Democrat suggested an additional $2.4 billion for migrant care in addition to the $1.9 billion the state spent in 2023, according to Politico.A large portion of the new spending is targeted for New York City.
A recently surfaced clip shows progressive 'Squad' member Rep. Jamaal Bowman calling the rapes and child beheadings of Israelis by Hamas militants on October 7 'propaganda.'
The video - posted on TikTok - shows Bowman addressing a group of pro-Palestinian protestors in Westchester, New York, decrying how Israel was lying about the severity of the attack.
'There was propaganda used at the beginning of the siege,' he can be heard claiming loudly as cars passed noisily behind him on a busy road.

There’s been a lot of buzz surrounding Robert F. Kennedy’s pick for vice president. Trump’s team has been hoping for a far-left candidate, which will likely help to attract disenfranchised Democrats to the candidate his own party pushed aside in favor of Dementia Joe.
From the outspoken anti-vax NY Jets quarterback Aaron Rogers to other interesting picks like former WWE wrestler Jesse Ventura, who served as MN governor in the 90s, former Democrat US Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, and Nicole Shanahan, a CA lawyer with deep pockets who is also the ex-wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin.
Six missing construction workers who fell into the river when the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed are presumed dead as the Coast Guard calls of the search.
The Coast Guard is ending its active search and rescue mission for the missing workers that fell of the Francis Scott Key Bridge when a cargo ship smashed into it on Tuesday morning.
Rear Adm. Shannon Gilreath said that based on the extended period of time since the bridge collapsed and the freezing water temperatures 'we do not believe that we are going to find any of these individuals still alive.'
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were in North Carolina on Tuesday, hoping to get some votes from a vital swing state by talking about healthcare.
So far, the polls indicate that North Carolina is trending in favor of former President Donald Trump, not to mention all the other swing states. (X) So Biden is trying to figure out some approach to overcome his own incoherence and failed policies and convince Americans to vote for him. On Tuesday, he tried to pitch Obamacare as a rationale. Of course, he left out all the falsehoods that Obama/Biden told us when they sold it: that you can keep your plan and

Karine Jean-Pierre had a meltdown Tuesday after a North Carolina radio show host asked her if President Joe Biden has dementia.
“When I told a number of people that I was talking to you today — it was interesting, though — they all said, ‘Would you please just ask her, does the president have dementia?'” host Mark Garrison of WBT Charlotte told Jean-Pierre. “So before I move on from it, does he?”
“That, Mark, I can’t even believe you’re asking me this question,” an incredulous Jean-Pierre stammered. “That is [sic] incredibly offensive question to ask.”
“But you know people ask it,” Garrison insisted.

Tulsi Gabbard For VP?
33 replies
Donald Trump either has a short list or a long one, depending on the media source, in his search for a running mate. Either way, he could do a lot worse than Tulsi Gabbard. At least she knows, unlike many establishment Republicans, just how malicious Democrats are, since she used to be one and saw the depravity up close.
Maybe Trump will choose Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, or New York Rep. Elise Stefanik. He might turn to Ben Carson, a Cabinet official in his previous administration, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, or South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem. All would be
Former President Donald Trump received criticism for sharing scripture from a supporter who drew a parallel between his ongoing legal battles and Jesus Christ’s persecution.
“Received this morning—Beautiful, thank you!” Trump said on Truth Social, sharing the commentary he received from a supporter.
“It’s ironic that Christ walked through His greatest persecution the very week they are trying to steal your property from you. But have you seen this verse…?” the quote reads, pointing to Psalm 109:3-8.
A 9,000ft bridge in Maryland has collapsed after being struck by a container ship.
Astonishing footage shows the moment the vessel plowed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, sending the colossal steel structure crashing into the Patapsco River, shortly before 1.30am Eastern.
There were no immediate reports of any casualties but there did appear to be traffic on the bridge at the time of the catastrophe.The US Coast Guard and the Maryland Transportation Authority confirmed the crash but provided no further details.
A livestream showed the disaster unfolding, with the vessel plowing into a pile holding up the central part of the bridge. The road and steel arches
At least eight states are planning to ban the sale of new gas-powered cars in the next decade - and others are considering joining them.
Only zero-emission vehicles can be sold in participating states beginning from the 2035 model year, according to the Advanced Clean Cars II legislation.
The rule, which was first adopted by California, means that automakers and dealerships would be banned from selling new gas cars in these states from that point onwards.
Americans will not be forced to take their gas-powered cars off the road, however, and will still be able to buy used and secondhand gas vehicles.
These states have gone further
Joe Biden told reporters on Tuesday that he hade taken the TRAIN over the Francis Scott Key Bridge “many times.”
Joe Biden: “About 1:30 a container ship struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge which I’ve been over many, many times commuting from the state of Delaware either by train or by car.”
That’s odd, considering their is no rail line on the bridge. The bridge was built for automobiles and trucks.

Governor Wes Moore declared a state of emergency Tuesday morning following the catastrophic collision that occurred at 1.30am.
The ship - the Singaporean-flagged Dali - was 20 minutes into its journey when it slammed into a support column on the bridge.

Paul Krugman is angry at farmers

Former Enron advisor and current New York Times columnist Paul Krugman is angry at farmers. What’s earned his wrath is that they vote for Donald Trump. He says they vote for Trump because they’re afflicted with “white rural rage.”
Let’s examine the components of Krugman’s catchy phrase “white rural rage.”
As for rural, it is certainly true that Trump does better in rural areas than in, say, downtown Chicago or Baltimore. Then again, everybody does better – wherever they are – than they would in the toilets of downtown Chicago or Baltimore.
Ronna McDaniel, the former chair of the Republican National Committee, was ousted by NBC News as a paid contributor after vocal protests from the network’s staff over her hiring.
NBCU News Group Chair Cesar Conde announced the decision to part with Daniels, who just made her inaugural network appearance Sunday, to staff in a Tuesday memo obtained by The Hill. “No organization, particularly a newsroom, can succeed unless it is cohesive and aligned,” Conde wrote. “Over the last few days, it has become clear that this appointment undermines that goal.”

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador warned on Sunday during an interview with "60 Minutes" that unless the United States complies with Latin America’s requests for aid, the tide of migrants will continue. (snip) Alfonsi noted Obrador's demands for the U.S. to send $20 billion a year to Latin America countries, lift sanctions on Venezuela, end the Cuban embargo and legalize millions of Mexicans that are living in the U.S.
"If they don’t do the things that you’ve said need to be done, then what?," she asked.
"The flow of migrants will continue," Obrador responded.
The Taliban will soon start stoning women to death in public, the radical group's Supreme Leader announced as he declared war against Western democracy. Addressing Western officials in a voice message broadcast on state TV Saturday, Mullah Hibatullah Akhundzada called the Western human rights defenders 'representatives of the devil'. 'You say it's a violation of women's rights when we stone them to death. But we will soon implement the punishment for adultery,' he told the West in his harshest comments since taking over Afghanistan in 2021. We will flog women in public. We will stone them to death in public,'
