Mexico -- Friend, Enemy, Neutral, or Something Else?
Posted By: Imright, 1/31/2025 12:40:19 AM
Mexican nationals, likely cartel members, recently crossed the border and shot and wounded an American hiker. Did they assume that Joe Biden was still president, and so it was still a veritable open season on Americans without consequences? Mexico also recently balked at allowing a U.S. transport plane to land, returning its own nationals apprehended as illegal aliens. Was its attitude that Alejandro Mayorkas was still Homeland Security Secretary and thus working with Mexico to ensure that millions of illegal aliens could stay in the U.S. indefinitely?

The third soldier inside the U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter that collided with an American Airlines jet at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport was identified as Capt. Rebecca M. Lobach, who had been a White House social aide under the Biden administration.
In a press release issued by the U.S. Army, it was revealed that “at the request of and in coordination with” Lobach’s family, the U.S. Army was releasing the name of the third soldier who had been on the Black Hawk helicopter during a training mission on Wednesday. CBS News reported that Lobach had also worked as a White House social aide under the Biden administration.
Why is Canada targeting Republican-led states?
President Trump officially imposed tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China on Saturday after they had ignored his threats.
Trump slapped the tariffs on the three countries under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
25% tariffs on all Mexico imports
25% tariffs on nearly all Canadian imports — 10% on Canadian energy resources
10% tariffs on all China imports
“Today, I have implemented a 25% Tariff on Imports from Mexico and Canada (10% on Canadian Energy), and a 10% additional Tariff on China.
Canada and Mexico’s top leaders blasted President Trump Saturday hours after he imposed a 25% tariff on the neighboring countries — and announced they would retaliate by enforcing their own on the US.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau revealed he and Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo agreed to work together to push back against Trump’s long-awaited taxing program, which he claimed was aimed at halting the influx of drugs into the US.
Trump put a 25% tariff on Canadian and Mexican imports, while Chinese products will receive a more modest 10% tariff.
Phildelphia—In Boston, Northeastern University renamed a program for underrepresented students, emphasizing “belonging” for all. In New Jersey, a session at Rutgers University catering to students from historically Black colleges had to be abruptly canceled. And around the U.S., colleges are assessing program names and titles that could run afoul of a Trump administration crackdown on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.
New White House orders ban DEI policies in programs that receive federal money. Across higher education, institutions rely on federal funding for research grants, projects and contract work.

The doomed military helicopter that collided with an American Airlines flight over Washington, DC, Wednesday night was conducting training to prepare for a catastrophic event or attack on the US, according to officials.
The crew aboard the UH-60 Black Hawk chopper, the 12th Aviation Battalion, is responsible for top-secret evacuation missions meant to whisk top US officials from DC to secure locations in the case of a national emergency such as a terrorist or nuclear attack.
In a press conference on Thursday night, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the soldiers “were on a routine, annual re-training of night flights on a standard corridor for a continuity of government mission.”
Billionaire philanthropist mogul Nicole Shanahan is making waves in Washington, demanding that U.S. Senators swiftly confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services under the Trump administration. With her considerable influence and resources, Shanahan is putting political pressure on lawmakers, urging them to set aside partisan bickering and fulfill what she sees as a moral and critical responsibility to advance Kennedy for the future of America’s health. Shanahan, the former running mate for presidential candidate RKF Jr., threatens to rescind donations she made to Democrats if they refuse to vote in favor of his confirmation. She vowed to "personally fund" primary challenges
The Department of Justice has opened an investigation into Chuck Schumer for threatening Supreme Court justices.
According to The Washington Post, interim D.C. U.S. attorney Edward R. Martin, Jr. is looking to scrutinize Democratic leaders and former Justice Department officials.
Among them is the Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer in connection with comments regarding Trump’s Supreme Court justices, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.
During a pro-abortion rally back in 2020, Schumer said that the two justices would “pay the price” for overturning Roe vs Wade, a decision that they eventually handed down two years later.
On the morning of Donald J. Trump’s second inauguration, the former- and soon-to-be current president, along with his wife Melania, stopped by the White House. Awaiting the Trumps’ arrival were the current residents, Joe Biden and his wife Jill. When Trump first got out of the limousine, before his wife came around from the other side of the car, Biden greeted him with the words, “Welcome home.” In what seemed to be a rare lucid moment for Biden, one got the impression that Joe was expressing the idea that he had been house-sitting—or, some might say, squatting—in the White House for the past four years.
Many Americans were, and still are,
Presidential Envoy for Special Missions, Ric Grenell had some great news on Friday about his special mission to Venezuela. As we reported, he went to talk about Venezuela repatriating its citizens who had illegally entered the United States, including Tren de Aragua gang members. He carried a message that Venezuela needs to comply; otherwise, there will be "consequences."
He then returned to the U.S. with six American hostages, who had been detained in Venezuela. That's what strength gets you.
I have a question. Did you even know that there were Americans being held in Venezuela? How about Belarus, where Secretary of State Marco Rubio just got American released?
Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., told "Fox News Live" Saturday that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Academy in Oklahoma has struggled to fill classrooms due to DEI quotas.
"Where the FAA air traffic controllers get trained is right here inside of Oklahoma, in Oklahoma City," Mullin said. "That's their training hub and I will tell you we were having a hard time filling the classes because of DEI."
Flight safety has become a topic of debate this week after an American Airlines plane and an Army helicopter collided outside Reagan National Airport on Wednesday. Two days later on Friday, a medical jet crashed on a street near the Roosevelt Mall

cleaning up Biden’s disastrous mistakes

Donald J. Trump is back to killing terrorists and threatening anyone that harms Americans — and it is glorious.
In 2017, Trump approved an anti-ISIS campaign plan that relaxed the military rules of engagement and sped up the violent destruction of the jihadi group.
By 2019, the ISIS in Iraq and Syria had collapsed. During the Biden administration, ISIS came back.
Since Biden’s disastrous and humiliating withdrawal from Afghanistan, ISIS-K has regenerated and is carrying out attacks inside the country that could extend and recruit internationally.
Chad and Niger kicked US forces out of their countries where US forces had been conducting counter-terrorism campaigns.
The Democratic Party has found its new leader, and it’s clear that the battle lines for the next election cycle have already been drawn. With the party’s fresh leadership, they’re vowing to take on President Donald Trump’s agenda head-on, promising to ramp up opposition from economic policies to immigration. While this new face may offer a sense of hope for the left, conservatives are preparing for another wave of radical leftist policies that aim to dismantle the progress America will make under Trump's leadership.

The Army is refusing to name the female pilot killed aboard the military helicopter that collided with a passenger jet flying into Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Wednesday.
In an announcement Friday, the Army, which disclosed the names of the two other soldiers in the chopper who died, said the woman’s family requested her identity be withheld from the public.
“At the request of the family, the name of the third Soldier will not be released at this time,” the Army Public Affairs wrote on their website.

End of ‘Cultural Awareness Months’
at Department of Defense 33 replies
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Friday issued guidance to the entire Department of Defense to end the practice of celebrating months tied to racial or gender identities using official resources.
He said in his guidance: “Our unity and purpose are instrumental to meeting the Department’s warfighting mission. Efforts to divide the force – to put one group ahead of another – erode camaraderie and threaten mission execution.”
He added:
Going forward, DoD Components and Military Departments will not use official resources, to include man-hours, to host celebrations or events related to cultural awareness months, including National African American/Black History Month, Women’s History Month, Asian American and Pacific Islander
Arizona State Representative Alex Kolodin called Arizona’s illegitimate Democrat governor out in a letter to her office Thursday after $339 million “disappeared” from the state budget.
Kolodin told The Gateway Pundit, “Maybe somebody’s siphoning off some funds.” He clarified, “Maybe some are mistakes. Who knows? But they don’t match up.”
This is not the first, nor the second, time Hobbs has come under scrutiny for mismanagement or corruption involving large sums of money.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, in November, Hobbs was in the spotlight after her Office of Tourism awarded a $700,000 contract to create a hideous new state logo
The Trump administration has issued a directive to ban 50 former intelligence officials, including high-profile figures like John Brennan, John Bolton, and James Clapper, from accessing secure U.S. government facilities.
This decision comes after these officials misleadingly characterized Hunter Biden’s laptop as Russian disinformation.
In 2020, it was 51 lying intelligence officials who were quarterbacked by Anthony Blinken to pull off the greatest election fraud in American history.
It was Tony Blinken who was in charge of collecting signatures from corrupt and partisan Trump-hating intelligence officials to sign off on the letter that the laptop was a Russian op.
David Lebryk, the top-ranking career U.S. Treasury Department official, will leave his post where he has been a top official for years.
Elon Musk and the DOGE team are currently examining the treasury payment systems.
Lebryk clashed with Musk over access to a “sensitive system” used to pay over $6 trillion a year in Social Security and Medicare benefits.
The results of the audit may not bode well for David Lebryk. According to Elon Musk, the payment approval officers were told to ALWAYS approve payments, even to fraudulent groups or terrorist organizations!
This decision by the US Army to withhold the name of the third member of the Black Hawk helicopter crew involved in the Reagan air disaster was never going to last. It’s the worst aviation accident in years. All 67 individuals involved perished—and the Army's initial refusal to release the name led to conspiracy theories and incidents of misidentification. There’s a balance between privacy and transparency—I get it. The family needed time to mourn, but the Army refusing to release the female pilot’s name was never a sustainable position. They finally caved and released her name tonight: Capt. Rebecca Lobach (via NY Post):

I get that Pete Buttigieg had to respond: He’s a Democrat who got called out by President Donald Trump in a press conference. The president addressed the media after the tragic air disaster at Reagan National Airport on January 29, which led to the deaths of 67 people. It’s the worst aviation incident in years. Trump called out the former transportation secretary and then went on a prolonged critique of DEI initiatives under Biden, which included hiring brain-damaged people and those with mental and intellectual disabilities. The latter part is what triggered the Left, and Mayor Pete is very left-wing:
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) on Saturday elected Minnesota party leader Ken Martin, who once called for President Donald Trump to be tried for treason, as its next national chair in the wake of the party's disastrous performance in the November elections.
The election of Martin is the party's first formal step to try and rebound from the November elections, in which President Donald Trump recaptured the White House, and Republicans flipped the Senate, held on to their fragile majority in the House and made major gains with working-class, minority and younger voters.
"We have one team, one team, the Democratic Party," Martin said following his victory.
Health officials in the Kansas City area are warning of a recent outbreak of tuberculosis (TB) cases, prompting an effort from state and local health agencies to stop the spread, according to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE).
The outbreak has killed two people since it started in January 2024, KDHE spokeswoman Jill Bronaugh said. Health officials in Kansas say there is no threat to the general public.
The outbreak has primarily affected Wyandotte County, with a total of 67 active cases reported as of Jan. 24. According to KDHE, 60 of these cases are in Wyandotte County, while the remaining seven are in neighboring Johnson County.
Interim D.C. U.S. Attorney Edward R. Martin, Jr. has made a bold move, dismissing about 30 federal prosecutors involved in the Capitol riot cases. This decision, announced on Friday, signals a significant housecleaning of the top prosecutor's office in Washington, D.C., as Martin gears up to purge partisans who weaponized the Justice Department against Joe Biden’s political enemies, including Trump, pro-life activists, and others.
But he’s also taken another bold step, effectively launching an investigation into Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer over comments he made back in March 2020 during a #MyRightMyDecision rally outside the Supreme Court. During the rally, Schumer blatantly threatened Trump-appointed Supreme Court Justices
