Mexican Officials Dissolve ‘Migrant
Caravan’ Headed to US, Activists Say

Original Article

Authorities in Mexico dissolved two caravans of would-be illegal immigrants heading to the United States, just days after President-elect Donald Trump warned he would levy a 25 percent tariff on imports from the country. Migrant activists said this week that some were bused to cities in southern Mexico, and others were offered transit papers. Migrant rights activist Luis Garcia Villagran said the breaking-up of the two caravans appeared to be part of “an agreement between the president of Mexico and the president of the United States.” The first of the caravans started out from the southern Mexico city of Tapachula, near the border with Guatemala, on Nov. 5,

Not so fast here friends. I'm hearing that the cartels are supporting this story in order to bring these illegal immigrants to the border in smaller groups to facilitate getting thru the border easier. Huge attention will be focused on the border before jan.20th. and even more after the Trumpster takes office. The cartels are not going to be happy about this. Trump should send troops to the border area and use this as training exercises in stopping the cartels. I'd say about 50 miles either side of the border would be a good start. The strongest measure Trump could take would be to put a processing fee on all remittances back to Mexico. The Mexican jumping beans would go crazy.

In the case of Mexico, I believe President Trump is using tariffs to stop illegal immigration. But for Canada and most other Countries, which have tariffs on US goods of 100% or more, tariffs will be used to get fairer trade agreements. It seems that between the bought and paid for political establishment and their lap dog media, most Americans don't realize how close the US is to bankruptcy from bleeding out a TRILLION dollar a year trade deficit and over 36 TRILLION dollar fed. budget deficit. Each citizen of the US owes about $106,000. We already can't afford it!

This shows that President Trump means what he says and Mexico and Canada know it and act accordingly. Not so much Biden and Kamala. Remember when they said about illegal immigration, "don't"? They didn't meant it. God bless President Trump for promises made and promises kept!

The Mexican Government supposedly dissolving the caravans does not mean much. As the Mexican criminal smuggling cartels, by corruptly paying off Mexican Government Officials, will most likely continue to collect up as many of those potential illegal aliens (migrants) as possible both in groups and as individuals, and will transport them to the US borderline, where they will covertly smuggle those potential illegal aliens into the USA as they did before the Biden-Harris area. Under Biden-Harris and leftist and progressive Democrat policies, illegal aliens in unlimited numbers easily gained unlawful entry to the USA by simply walking across the USA border into the country using the guise that they are seeking asylum in the USA or showing up at a US Port of Entry along the borderline where they are then waved into the USA under some bogus Biden-Harris immigration policy that has effectively allowed a “silent invasion” of the USA. The object of those partisan political Democrat policies of not enforcing the US Immigration laws that were constitutionally passed into law by Congress by allowing unlimited numbers of Third World origin illegal aliens into the USA is to permanently change the future population demographics of the USA by allowing unlimited numbers of Third World origin illegal aliens into the USA who are considered to be members of minority groups once inside the USA in accordance with Democrat identity politics. In that respect, in reality there are a lot more potential Third World origin illegal aliens out there across the world than the entire current legal US population, most of them poor and uneducated who could show up at the US borders in the future, fraudulently claim asylum in the USA in accordance with Biden-Harris and leftist and progressive Democrat “open borders” policies, with the Democrats then transitioning them by way of some sort of “path to citizenship” into tens of millions of future leftist and progressive Democrat supporters and voters by way of effectively what amounts to a “silent invasion” of illegal aliens into the USA. In the short term the leftist and progressive Democrats are happy to direct as many illegal aliens as possible into their so-called “sanctuary cities” and other Democrat controlled areas. The partisan political object of that is so that all those illegal aliens can remain there, then be counted in the next US Census causing huge population increases in those Democrat run cities and areas to be counted in the Census, to the point that such population increases there would cause a large number of Congressional Districts to be “redistricted” into those cities and areas where leftist and progressive Democrat candidates would win the resulting future elections for those “redistricted” congressional seats, thus giving the leftist and progressive Democrats permanent control of the Congressional House of Representatives. Shortly we will see if the wimpy Republicans even have a clue that the leftist and progressive Democrats have been using mass uncontrolled illegal immigration to send them into political oblivion.

Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., introduced legislation on Wednesday that would federally ban mutilating transgender procedures for children and punish so-called “physicians” who perform such procedures. The legislation would block doctors from being able to prescribe or administer puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, as well as perform mutilating transgender surgeries like mastectomies. The Safeguarding the Overall Protection of Minors (STOP) Act would allow the Department of Health and Human Services to place a minimum $100,000 fine on doctors who do not follow the law.

20 Republican senators are up for re-election in 2026. It is time to shake some of them up because they have forgotten for whom they work. The Republican leadership allowed party senators (the caucus) to vote to impeach Trump in 2021. Seven did. While some of the names in leadership have changed the attitude remains the same as many Republican senators try to block Trump’s appointees to the Cabinet. Given that most Republican senators represent one of the 31 states that went for Trump, that is a big FU to the voters.

Key takeaways from the study include the fact that multiple Education Department grants “feature programming that advances race-based teacher recruiting, hiring, and training, including the use of race-based affinity groups.”

If your third-grader is competing in the 2025 Scripps National Spelling Bee, good news: “W-O-M-Y-N” is now an acceptable spelling of “women.” (What a time to be alive!) In fact, “W-O-M-Y-N” is explicitly listed on the National Spelling Bee’s list of 50 “study words” that’s distributed to third-graders. Nobody knows when spoken language began, but written language developed independently in Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, and Mesoamerica. Presumably, shortly after the emergence of writing, was the emergence of the crotchety, ornery, spinster schoolteacher who’d shame you before the class when you misspelled a word. And now, the proper spelling of women is “W-O-M-Y-N.”
