The LDAMM — Leftists, Demorats and the American Media Maggots — think your eyes are off the ball. They think you don’t matter. No. Wait, In their minds they know you don’t matter. If you don’t occupy a massive American Rat Cage — a large urban city — as far as the LDAMM are concerned: you don’t count. You are nothing. You hinder them. Your vote means nothing. Your thoughts or wishes are less than significant.
Watch. And please be reminded of the arrogance, indifference and dismissiveness of the LDAMM.
You don’t count, suburbans. You don’t count, American Taxpayers. You don’t count, those who hold religion dear. You don’t count, people who believe in the Founding Fathers and the US Constitution, Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence.
Your stupid aborted infants need to die. Who fights for tissue? Your stupid Bible needs to die as well. Outdated values, outdated thoughts. Guns, God and all your stupid backward ways.
Play it again. And then this, from Barack Hussein Obama.
The LDAMM believed it then. And they believe it now. You’re intellectually inferior to Leftists. You don’t possess the brain power. You lack the ability to recognize their erudite, cultured and superior views and arguments.
They believe that you are weak, disinterested, distracted and indifferent.
Figure 1: 45th President of the United States of America, Donald John Trump.
Not Hillary Rodham Clinton. And from November 9th on the Demorat, Leftist and American Media Maggot side, insanity reigned supreme. To this day. To this second.
We saw the IRS weaponized against Conservatives and, specifically, the TEA Party (so few remember what TEA stood for: “Taxed Enough Already.”) beginning in 2010 when the Obama/Lois Lerner Internal Revenue Service unfairly scrutinized them based on their political leanings when they sought a tax-exempt status.
This wasn’t just specious bong water. (Hey, doesn’t that sound like the name of some new garage band?) Court documents showed it. In a 27 month span, over 300 Conservative groups were targeted and not one of them — in the Obama Administration, under Lois Lerner as Director of the Exempt Organizations — not one of them was able to acquire tax exempt status. Why? Power and political bias. But wait; there’s more. Another specific person was involved.
Remember when the IRS’s Lois Lerner took the fifth with regard to the issue?
But what does that mean? And why would you not want any of your testimony revealed for any reason whatsoever? How is it that your testimony is any more valuable or worthy of redaction or elimination than that of anyone else? Does that not demand the questions “What are you hiding and why are you hiding it?”
Justice Department settles with conservative groups over IRS scrutiny
(Reuters) – The U.S. Justice Department has reached a settlement with dozens of conservative groups that claimed the Internal Revenue Service unfairly scrutinized them based on their political leanings when they sought a tax-exempt status, court documents showed.
In a pair of lawsuits filed in federal court in 2013, the conservative groups accused the IRS of targeting organizations with such words as “Tea Party” or “patriots” when they applied to the agency for tax-exempt status starting in 2010.
The sides asked the United States District Court for the District of Columbia on Wednesday to issue a declarative judgment in one of the cases involving 41 plaintiffs that would say the IRS was wrong to apply the United States tax laws based on an entity’s name, position or association with a particular political movement.
“We hope that today’s settlement makes clear that this abuse of power will not be tolerated,” Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a statement on Thursday.
More importantly:
The IRS admitted it was wrong when it based screenings of the groups’ applications on their names or policy positions, subjected the groups to heightened scrutiny and delays and demanded unnecessary information from the groups, the agreement in the Washington case said.
The IRS “expresses its sincere apology,” it said.
Senior management within the IRS’s Exempt Organizations Division “was delinquent in its responsibility to provide effective control, guidance, and direction over the processing of applications for tax exempt status filed by Tea Party and other political advocacy organizations,” the settlement document said.
A request to halt the other case, a class action suit involving 428 members, was filed in a federal court in Ohio.
Republicans claimed the targeting of conservative groups showed political bias in the IRS under former Democratic President Barack Obama. House Republican investigators found no connection to the Obama administration, according to a 2014 report.
More pointedly:
But the report did blame IRS officials for mistreating conservative organizations who sought tax-exempt status and that IRS officials covered up the misconduct and misled Congress.
The officials included former Commissioner Douglas Shulman, former acting Commissioner Steven Miller, and Lois Lerner, the former head of the unit overseeing applications for tax-exempt status.
Bottom line?
No criminal charges were ever filed against IRS officials.
Why would there? No bias here. Nothing to see. Move along. This isn’t the corruption you’re looking for under the first actual black president of the United States.
The situation led to this, where Commissioner John Koskinen was rightly accused of running the “most corrupt and deceitful IRS in history.”
Jay Sekulow: Victory! IRS admits Tea Party, other conservative groups were targets during Obama era
by Jay Sekulow
It took many years to resolve. But I am delighted to report that we have just obtained a resounding victory in our legal challenge to the IRS’s political targeting of conservative organizations.
In an unprecedented victorious conclusion to our four year-long legal battle against the IRS, the bureaucratic agency has just admitted in federal court that it wrongfully targeted Tea Party and conservative groups during the Obama administration because of their political viewpoints and issued an apology to our clients for doing so. In addition, the IRS is consenting to a court order that would prohibit it from ever engaging in this form of unconstitutional discrimination in the future.
In a proposed Consent Order filed with the Court yesterday, the IRS has apologized for its treatment of our clients — 36 Tea Party and other conservative organizations from 20 states that applied for 501(c)(3) and (c)(4) tax-exempt status with the IRS between 2009 and 2012 — during the tax-exempt determinations process. Crucially, following years of denial by the IRS and blame-shifting by IRS officials, the agency now expressly admits that its treatment of our clients was wrong.

Along with digging and suits administered by the ACLJ, there was another element to the weaponization of the IRS, and that was John McCain. It’s no secret that I am not an admirer of McCain, a “Republican” who was one of the most dishonest men in politics. I would have respected McCain had he been candid and clear by changing his (R) to a (D), which he truly was. He actually threatened to do so in 2010 because he wasn’t getting his way. Tantrums.
I’m sure his family at least tolerated him at home, he didn’t set stray kittens on fire (although it’s admittedly difficult to prove a negative), and he was never caught acting like an actual Conservative. That much is true.
But in addition, it was John McCain who in fact helped to weaponize the IRS against TEA Party operations.
McCain’s office urged IRS to use audits as weapons to destroy political advocacy groups – UPDATED
A new report from Judicial Watch reveals a concerted effort from Sen. John McCain’s office to urge the IRS under Lois Lerner to strike out against political advocacy groups, including tea party organizations.
Thanks to the results of an extensive Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request that has been delayed for many years, Judicial Watch has obtained several key emails from 2013 that chronicle McCain’s and Democrat Sen. Carl Levin’s efforts to reign in the advocacy groups that sprouted immediately following the Citizens United decision from the Supreme Court.
Let’s be clear. McCain didn’t get his way with the Supreme Court in re McCain-Feingold.
The point of this post isn’t about the McCain-Feingold bill. It was about McCain’s reaction to the SCOTUS decision. And McCain’s willingness to light the ass of the IRS on fire and set it on TEA Party. Weaponizing the IRS.
Watch McCain’s reaction regarding what he perceives to be his personal loss at SCOTUS. Because, as you know, it’s all about McCain.
McCain-Feingold was invalidated by the Supreme Court. Say what you will about his bill, McCain took it — like everything else in his political life — personally. McCain then somehow concluded it was time to tender a steaming dump on TEA Party groups because he was foiled.
The documents uncovered by Judicial Watch include notes from a high-level meeting on April 30, 2013 between powerful members of McCain’s and Levin’s staffs and Lerner, then-director of tax exempt organizations at the IRS under Barack Obama. The notes reveal the suggestions from McCain’s former staff director and chief counsel on the Senate Homeland Security Permanent Subcommittee, Henry Kerner who urges Lerner to use IRS audits on the advocacy groups to financially ruin them.
Because if McCain couldn’t have his, you couldn’t have yours. With McCain, it was all about McCain.
Less than two weeks after the April 30 meeting, Lerner revealed that her staff had purposely discriminated against conservative tea party groups seeking 501(c)4 tax exempt status because they represented and advocated for conservative political positions.
McCain doing the work of the Demorats as per normal.
“The Obama IRS scandal is bipartisan – McCain and Democrats who wanted to regulate political speech lost at the Supreme Court, so they sought to use the IRS to harass innocent Americans,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “The Obama IRS scandal is not over – as Judicial Watch continues to uncover smoking gun documents that raise questions about how the Obama administration weaponized the IRS, the FEC, FBI, and DOJ to target the First Amendment rights of Americans.”
Absolutely correct. But perhaps you thought that solved everything. The IRS would never be weaponized again. Think again. Now that Trump surveillance has been proven, now that there is a crisis at our border, now that the Mueller report failed to result in Trump clapped in handcuffs and his comb-over shaved off, what’s left?
Oh yeah. Taxes taxes taxes Trump taxes taxes taxes. But first, a critical question: what is the federal statute requiring presidents to turn over their tax returns? Answer: there is no such thing.
Trump ran on and won the presidency based upon refusing to disclose his tax returns. I didn’t care then and I don’t care now. Nixon began the “tradition” if you will and Trump may be the one to end it.
Obama failed to release his college transcripts or his passport. Obama’s years at Columbia are an absolute mystery. No one remembers him. Why? Moreover, do I really care? No, I don’t.
Fast forward to today. Trump is still made of Teflon, a material Leftists, Demorats and the American Media Maggots wish never existed. Nothing sticks to Trump. Not even the rhetorical or written napalm meant to incinerate him and everyone around him, including his family.
Two years down the drain and Bob “The Savior” Mueller turns out to be, well, everything but. As I said for the past year-plus, all Mueller had were crimes of process that would never have come to light save the investigation itself. Translation: he created those crimes with an investigation that would otherwise have not occurred. Now all the LDAMM have sworn to stop sending Bobbie any Christmas cards at all. #Lonely.
Michael Avenatti, Trump’s most vocal nemesis, the darling of CNN, MSNBC and CNBC, turns out to be the poster child for — as Tucker Carlson says — a Creepy Porn Lawyer. If anyone got napalmed, it was Mikey. He was the Bernie Madoff of unconscionable lawyers. Yeah. “Avenatti 2020.”
I just couldn’t help but place the video. It’s too good to pass up. Back to taxes.
Bernie Sanders said he would release his taxes and, this past weekend, he did. What we discovered is that Bernie Sanders is precisely what he excoriates: part of the 1%. Translated: he’s a millionaire. Wait. That doesn’t compute. How can Socialist Bernie Sanders be a member of the very group he — I guess, now — pretends to hate?
Further, Sanders said he made money on his book; a very good book you see. You should read it. He crowed about writing it during the Town Hall meeting hosted by Bret Baier and Martha McCallum. He says he won’t apologize for writing a book. He’s promoting entrepreneurship, it seems.
Reminded by the Times reporter that he is now someone of considerable means, Sanders retorted: “I wrote a best-selling book. If you write a best-selling book, you can be a millionaire, too.”
If that isn’t an advocacy for entrepreneurship — what is?
“If anyone thinks I should apologize for writing a bestselling book, I’m sorry, I’m not going to do it,” Sanders said in a fiery Fox News town hall Monday night. He defended his earnings and insisted he does not attack the wealthy.
Of course Bernie Sanders doesn’t attack the wealthy. Which is 1) bullshit, he has (see below), and 2) more recently because it has been exposed that he himself is a millionaire.
Wait. Doesn’t he despise millionaires and billionaires?
Then Bret Baier, one of the Fox moderators, asked Mr. Sanders, “When you wrote the book and you made the money, isn’t that the definition of capitalism and the American dream?”
“No,” Mr. Sanders replied.
The bottom line is this: there is no law requiring those running for president to release their taxes. There is no law requiring presidents to release their taxes.
If President Trump declines to release his taxes, absent a law, that is his right.
Because it’s involving Trump, and because Leftists, Demorats and the American Media Maggots have abjectly failed to blow Donald Trump out of the Oval Office on so many levels and via so many ways — it will be proven most of them illegal — it’s now time to focus on taxes. The very item that those who elected him in 2016 couldn’t give one oozing, pustulant crap about.
And don’t now either.
Weaponizing the IRS.
But only against Conservatives or anyone who dares, like Trump, to push against the DC Norm.
Trump is a threat, he has caused fear, he is pushing envelopes, and to this point the LDAMM have been entirely unsuccessful in dismantling his success.
The LDAMM cannot even concede one success Trump has acquired for America because, to do that, they would have to recognize that, on a larger more overarching level, he really is making America greater.
Worse yet: greater than Barack Hussein Obama.
The LDAMM will do everything they possibly can to acknowledge even one Trump success. And if the United States or its citizens have to suffer because of their refusal, well, you can go straight to hell.
Atonement, expiations, the minimization of American power. Self-loathing.

By most standards, there are seven continents on our planet.
They include Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America and South America.
I live in North America. The continent direct beneath North America, South America, threatens us in ways I submit altogether too many people don’t recognize, from our politicians to our electorate. You and me, we are aware — and all our bells and klaxons are going off.
We already know that both major US parties — Demorats and Republicans — have been corrupted into promoting the continuing rush of more illegals from Mexico. I value clarity and honesty. So let’s be honest and clear. The Demorats want as many illegals as possible to enter the Untied States because its present citizenry can no longer be counted upon to vote Leftisten masse in perpetuity. The election of Donald Trump was their proverbial Political Turd In The Punchbowl.
And altogether too many EstabliHack Republicans, let’s be blunt, want to utilize immigrants as Cheap Labor. Keep their capitalist friends happy. I have nothing against Capitalism. I just want the playing field tilted towards actual American citizens.
It’s shockingly easy to draw this conclusion — no matter what Republicans say — for one very simple reason. The GOP hasn’t rallied around E-Verify and sent bill after bill demanding that all US businesses comply with its usage. E-Verify isn’t mandatory. It’s just a kinda-sorta-maybe “hint.” I rest my case.
Listen to Ron Paul. He illustrates perfectly why I separate with Libertarians here. He makes a straw man argument instead of the one he should make: real Americans keeping real American jobs.
In a sense, universal use of E-Verify would be a major step toward making legal status a labor standard. Few employers are tempted to hire children, after all, and that’s only partly out of fear of punishment; it has become a social norm, a habit, not to hire kids. But while it’s easy to tell if a job applicant is an 11-year-old, employers need E-Verify to tell if he’s a legal worker.
Why isn’t E-Verify already in use nationwide? Politics. Democrats in Congress have held E-Verify hostage to amnesty; they consider it a bargaining chip. But the source of the public resistance to amnesty is the belief — the certainty — that it would simply be a replay of 1986, with the promises of future enforcement dropped as soon as the amnesty was complete.
Mandating E-Verify would not only be an important enforcement tool, it would also be an important political step toward resolving our current immigration mess.
In other words, why not try to stop those tempted to enter the US illegally before they actually approach the physical proximity to our southern border? Doesn’t that make the most sense of all — at least in terms of the “jobs” aspect?
Further, H1-B visas are popular in the GOP world because they enable corporations to kick Americans aside for their less expensive and eminently-willing replacements. Check the slant of this article. After all, why shouldn’t Prakeem Prakesh take your job when he’s willing to work at a lesser wage rate than you — the penultimate selfish Americano bastardo/bastardette? You’re a cog. You must be replaced. By a cheaper cog. Doing the same job. You submitted a
Disney has already kicked out Americans for cheaper H-1B imports. Worse yet: those Americans were forced to train their foreign replacements.
Pink Slips at Disney. But First, Training Foreign Replacements.
by Julia Preston
ORLANDO, Fla. — The employees who kept the data systems humming in the vast Walt Disney fantasy fief did not suspect trouble when they were suddenly summoned to meetings with their boss.
While families rode the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and searched for Nemo on clamobiles in the theme parks, these workers monitored computers in industrial buildings nearby, making sure millions of Walt Disney Worldticket sales, store purchases and hotel reservations went through without a hitch. Some were performing so well that they thought they had been called in for bonuses.
Instead, about 250 Disney employees were told in late October that they would be laid off. Many of their jobs were transferred to immigrants on temporary visas for highly skilled technical workers, who were brought in by an outsourcing firm based in India. Over the next three months, some Disney employees were required to train their replacements to do the jobs they had lost.
“I just couldn’t believe they could fly people in to sit at our desks and take over our jobs exactly,” said one former worker, an American in his 40s who remains unemployed since his last day at Disney on Jan. 30. “It was so humiliating to train somebody else to take over your job. I still can’t grasp it.”
Disney executives said that the layoffs were part of a reorganization, and that the company opened more positions than it eliminated.
Thank you and fuck you. Get out. Oh yeah. Train your replacement first. But wait; there’s more. Oh so much more.
We haven’t even touch the issue of Merit-Based Immigration, the same type of immigration system Canada has (shhh, quiet, don’t tell anyone) had for years. Chinese immigrants to Canada had to have an occupational skill and a minimum of $10,000 bankable for entry. Okay. For once, Canada had a great idea. Yay Canucks.
Then there is the cry of the “political refugee” or the “asylum” seekers.
Mexico, Central America, South America, is a political, societal, cultural and budgetary powder keg waiting to explode into our North American faces. It isn’t just about Mexico; oh no. So much more.
These days, of course, you’d be stupid to take the former “Mexican Riviera” cruise on any number of cruise lines these days. You’d just as likely be killed or kidnapped at Cabo San Lucas. No more “king’s X” for Cabo. If you want hanging dead bodies, well, look no farther than Cabo.
Six bodies hung from bridges near Mexico’s Los Cabos tourist resort
by Reuters Staff
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – The bodies of six men were found hanging from three different bridges near the Mexican tourist resort of Los Cabos on the Baja California peninsula on Wednesday, local authorities said.
The authorities did not give details on what happened to the men, but drug gangs often hang the bodies of their murdered victims in public to intimidate rivals. Drug gang violence is set to make 2017 Mexico’s deadliest year in modern history.
There were once-friendly tourist areas in Mexico. Not so much now. Maybe it really is time to call for more tequila. On your own back porch. Right here in the US.

‘Breathtaking homicidal violence’: Latin America in grip of murder crisis
by Tom Phillips
Region has experienced 2.5 million murders since 2000 and report paints bleak picture of extreme violence and deteriorating security
Latin America has suffered more than 2.5m murders since the start of this century and is facing an acute public security crisis that demands urgent and innovative solutions, a new report warns.
“The sheer dimensions of homicidal violence are breathtaking,” says the report by the Igarapé Institute, a Brazil-based thinktank focused on security and development issues.
The publication, released on Thursday, paints a bleak portrait of what it calls the world’s most homicidal continent.
Wait for it.
Latin America suffers 33% of the world’s homicides despite having only 8% of its population. One-quarter of all global homicides are concentrated in four countries – Brazil, Colombia, Mexico and Venezuela – all of which are gearing up for presidential elections in which security is a dominant theme.
“Latin America is a large area and there are lots of variations. But as a region – including Mexico down to Central America and South America – the rate of homicide is set to continue increasing up until 2030.The only other places we are seeing similar kinds of increases are in parts of southern and central Africa and some war zones.”
Perchance time to dial back your enthusiasm for a future Mexican, Central or South American vacation fling.
“The overall trend right now in Latin America is one of increasing homicides and deteriorating security,” said Robert Muggah, one of the report’s authors.
“Latin America is a large area and there are lots of variations. But as a region – including Mexico down to Central America and South America – the rate of homicide is set to continue increasing up until 2030.The only other places we are seeing similar kinds of increases are in parts of southern and central Africa and some war zones.”
Then there’s simply the issue of Venezuela. Nicolas Maduro was “elected” again and has been the 63rd president of the country since 2013 under the United Socialist Party of Venezuela. In the meantime, following the reign of Hugo Chavez and his death, Maduro has managed to turn Venezuela into a ruined nation where people have eaten zoo animals, are turning their children over to orphanages because they can’t afford to take care of them, they sell their hair, there are mob riots over food shortages, almost 90% of Venezuelans live in poverty and, on average, have lost 24 pounds.
Currency controls restrict food imports, hyperinflation eats into salaries, and people line up for hours to buy basics like flour. If it can be found at all. Concurrently, prices in Venezuela rose 4,068% in the 12 months to the end of January, according to estimates by the country’s opposition-led National Assembly, broadly in line with independent economists’ figures.
Nations bordering Venezuela are directly affected, of course. From Venezuelanalysis.com:
Colombia, Brazil Deploy More Security Forces to Venezuela Border
by Ryan M. Outtrim
Colombia says it will send more than 2000 more troops to its border with Venezuela, with Brazil replicating the measure.
On Thursday, Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos said he had ordered the deployment of 3000 additional security personnel to the Venezuelan border. This figure included 2120 more soldiers. He claimed the reason behind such moves was to control problems created by Venezuelan migrants.
Among the new restrictions was the suspension of a daily visitor card for Venezuelans.
Similar border measures have also been introduced by Brazil, which has announced plans to double its border patrols on the Venezuelan frontier.
The new measures come at a time of increased tension between Venezuela’s left-wing government, and the right-wing governments in Colombia and Brazil.
The Venezuelan military is being affected as well. Because, as history indicates, when a dictator loses his military he also loses his safety. From the WSJ.com:
‘Pressure Cooker’: Discontent Rises in Venezuela Military as Economy Dives
by John Otis and Juan Forero
The coup plot by disgruntled Venezuelan military officers in March was audacious: Seize control of the capital’s military bases, arrest President Nicolás Maduro and install a provisional government to replace his authoritarian regime.
To avoid detection for a year, conspiring officers eschewed phone calls, texts and emails, and instead sent messages via couriers, said an Army captain who helped plan the thwarted coup. They plotted during seemingly impromptu soccer matches.
Before they could act, though, Mr. Maduro’s intelligence services discovered the plot—described by military analysts as the most serious to date against his government. Authorities quickly arrested nine of the rebel officers, including the head of the largest armored battalion in the capital, and Mr. Maduro’s former interior minister.
Discontent in the barracks is at an all-time high, current and former military officers say. Shortages of food, evaporating salaries and desertions have turned the armed forces into a cauldron of conspiracies against Mr. Maduro, these people say.
One air force lieutenant, who deserted in March after a decade in uniform, said in a telephone interview from Argentina that the collapse of the currency had reduced his monthly paycheck to the equivalent of $10. Unable to afford a car or an apartment, he rode a bicycle to the base and moved in with his wife’s parents.
“What kind of military forces its officers live with their in-laws?” he said.
What’s really going on in Venezuela?
Then there’s Nicaragua. Nicaragua is in revolt these days President Daniel Ortega’s social security reforms aren’t playing well with the electorate which has created a general anti-government uprising. Recent protests left 27 people dead, shot by government forces. In the meantime Ortega installed his wife as Vice President in 2017. What nepotism? Electoral fraud and censorship abound. At least for the time being, Daniel Ortega is now what he found against in the 80s.
Finally, there’s Mexico itself. Again. Directly adjacent the US. What happens when — not if — Mexico goes hard aport?
The front-runner in Mexico’s July presidential election is Andre Manuel Lopez Obrador (known as AMLO), and he happens to be great friends with Jeremy Corbyn, the massive UK Leftist leader of the Labor Party.
Both AMLO and Corbyn support Maduro, love Communist Cuba and all things a fusion of Communist/Socialist. If AMLO is elected as is forecasted, another potential Venezuela abuts the United States.
‘IT’S A HUMAN RIGHT’ — MEXICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE CALLS FOR MASS EXODUS TO AMERICA
by Dominic Mancini
Mexican presidential candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) called for mass immigration to the United States during a speech Tuesday declaring it a “human right” for all North Americans.
“And soon, very soon — after the victory of our movement — we will defend all the migrants in the American continent and all the migrants in the world,” Obrador said, adding that immigrants “must leave their towns and find a life in the United States.”
He then declared it as “a human right we will defend,” eluniversal.com reports.
This is Mexico itself attempting to Cloward-Piven the entire United States, with Leftists, Demorats and the American Media Maggots in full lock-step. They — the LDAMM — have no idea what that would truly mean for the US.
This is what we want in the United States, US politicians? Are you sure of that, US politicians? From CNBC.com:
More than 100 politicians have been murdered in Mexico ahead of Sunday’s election
by Natasha Turak
More than 100 politicians in Mexico have been killed since September in the lead-up to the country’s election this Sunday, and more than 13,000 Mexicans have been killed since January.
In an 11 year war on drugs, Mexico has failed to control organized crime and criminal infiltration of local governments and law enforcement.
Some 20 or so percent of voters remain undecided, and security is expected to be a major factor in how they choose to vote.
Guadalajara, Mexico, June 10, 2018. According to official figures, more than 200,000 people have been murdered and over 30,000 have disappeared since the government launched a controversial military offensive against organized crime in late 2006.
Violence hit a record peak in Mexico last year with over 30,000 murders — and it is not slowing down. More than 100 politicians alone have been killed in the lead-up to the country’s election this Sunday.
Public officials and avtivists in Mexico face deadly threats even in broad daylight. Fernando Puron, a congressional candidate in the border city of Piedras Negras, was taking a selfie with a supporter when a gunman shot him in the head from behind. He was the 112th political hopeful to be killed since September.
The deaths reveal the depth of a crisis Mexico has failed to control: organized crime and criminal infiltration of local governments and law enforcement. And ahead of this weekend’s presidential and congressional elections, no candidate has been able to offer a credible plan to fight it.
Again I ask US politicians: are you sure you want these statistics in the United States? Are you sure you want more Steve Scalise situations, on both sides? Because by keeping the border doors open this is precisely what you are going to get.
More on Venezuela. What wonderful times Maduro has brought to Venezuela.
Venezuela’s sky-high inflation soared to 24,571 percent in the past 12 months, lawmakers said Monday.
President Nicolas Maduro’s socialist government controls most of the country’s economy and is in the midst of an ever-deepening crisis with food and medicine in short supply.
Analysts blame what they call mismanagement of a state-led economy. That includes its control over hard currency, as well as low oil prices. Venezuela depends on crude oil for its earnings.
The government blames US sanctions and businessmen speculating on the problems.
Of course the US is at fault. Ask anyone on any topic. The US is always to blame.
