Notes from the Resistance
If that sounds familiar, it’s the premise on which Operation Fast and Furious, which Grassley opened his letter to Dettelbach with, was founded. [More]
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.
Mexico’s President Obrador blasts US aid for Ukraine — advocates for more Latin America funding [More]
What kind of gratitude is that after “Ukraine’s Global Voice” called Mexico’s invaders “thousands of largely peaceful migrants”? (Citing Republicans Against Trump as an authority to heed doesn’t win Kyiv any points either…)
We ought to be charging Mexico for every illegal they send our way.

CBS News is running a special investigation into the smuggling of firearms to Mexico. US government officials estimate that the cartels are smuggling 2,000 firearms a day across the Mexican border. The way it works is that the cartels alerts buyers in the US who are not prohibited persons of their needs, they transfer the guns to brokers, and then the guns go to smugglers who take the firearms across the border to the cartels. Buyers are reported to be spread across all 50 states. [More]
Why did I suddenly think “Ecclesiastes”?
John Richardson does a great job bringing us up to speed and putting things in perspective with the overlooked history, something the DSM will not do.
Texas Police Cadet Imprisoned for Supplying Mexican Cartel with .50 Caliber Ammo [More]
I guess Pedro hadn’t gotten to the “Refusing consent to searches” and “Refusing to talk to the police” parts of his training.
This is so sketchy there has to be a lot more to what clued them in, and I’m thinking “informant” and “low-hanging fruit.”

How US Gun Laws Affect the Rest of America [Watch]
I just don’t have an extra 42 minutes in the course of a given day to watch a video so I’m posting this link without seeing this yet.
That it’s by Vice and one of the major premises appears to be U.S. guns are the prime source for Mexico’s problems makes me wonder if it will be worth my time later.
And that said, once in a while they don’t do too badly.
If any of you want to brave it, feel free to comment.

Juárez, Darwin José García of the southern Mexican state of Veracruz initially told police he was migrant attempting to cross into the U.S. But the man later told reporters he was practicing a sport on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande… [More]
Sport. Yeah, that’s the ticket.

Newly-released images show final distressing hours of five Mexican college students as cartel thugs forced one of the victims to decapitate his childhood friend [More]
And thanks to vote-whoring Democrats and cheap labor-whoring Republicans, there’s nothing to stop these animals from coming here and doing it to anyone they want.
Meanwhile, the treasonous damn Bradys are helping Mexican government cartel lackeys sue gunmakers to disarm you.

Consider it a quid pro quo.
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.

But Mexico’s lawyers argued the law only bars lawsuits over injuries that occur in the United States and does not shield the seven manufacturers and one distributor it sued from liability over the trafficking of guns to Mexican criminals. [More]
That’s right, and if they’d done what the U.S. government, in willful collusion with corrupt Mexican government, military, and law enforcement officials continues to do, they’d be liable.
It takes a special kind of traitor to argue otherwise in court.

“We estimate that about 70 percent of the guns that end up in Mexico are guns that come from the United States of America,” said Salazar. [More]
They’re counting on short memories.
That’s what happens when you’re confident your operations can abet killing people with impunity and the DSM will cover for you.

Gang members in a women’s prison in Honduras slaughtered 46 other women inmates by spraying them with gunfire, hacking them with machetes and then locking survivors in their cells and dousing them with flammable liquid, an official said Wednesday. [More]
And if you’re against them coming here and dropping anchor babies, you’re a racist xenophobe.

Texas congressman proposes DNA testing to determine illegal alien’s family ties to a minor [More]
How many millions is that going to cost us?
After the test, will they all still stay in this country living on the tax cows’ dime anyway, the adults who don’t escape their court dates in prison and the children awaiting the opening of that “pathway to citizenship”?
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.”* And I have that on good authority.
I don’t suppose immediate return to Mexico with the message “These people are your problem” is in anybody’s cards…?
* I had to use an Internet Archive link– what happened to the Saviors…?
Mexican TV reports that dozens of U.S. AT-4 weapons systems, which were originally shipped to Ukraine, have been purchased by Cartel Golfo in Mexico. [More]
I’m suspecting a misinterpretation and/or sloppy reporting because the source report only says:
“The weapon, which is only sold to armies and has been widely used during the invasion of Ukraine, was in the hands of a hitman from Los Escorpiones, a cell of the Gulf cartel, which operates in Reynosa.”
If weapons are being redirected from Ukraine, this, as stated, doesn’t prove it.
Besides, we know how the cartels get their weapons.

Criminals in government are the same murderous and greedy gun-grabbing swine on both sides of the border.
