[FoxNews] Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, released a graphic video highlighting the brutality of what he calls the "Narco slave trade" at the U.S.-Mexico border.
The video begins with Cruz and border officials tending to a group of migrants who crossed the border late in the night. He highlights that the vast majority of migrants are being economically exploited by the drug cartels bringing them into the U.S.
"These children come in in debt to vicious cartels thousands and thousands of dollars. The teenage boys work for the gangs in every city in America, and the teenage girls experience a hell worse than that, with far too many of them human trafficked into sex slavery," Cruz says in the video. "Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are responsible for the worst plague of slavery in America since the Civil War."
"This is not compassionate. This is not humane. This is barbaric," Cruz adds as the footage cycles graphic photos of migrants who have died attempting to cross the border.
President Biden's administration has presided over record-breaking border crossings in both 2021 and 2022.
The administration has repeatedly attempted to dismiss border surges as a yearly pattern, but while the southern border has seen a pattern of increases in migration each spring, the surges in both 2021 and 2022 far outpaced previous years.
Biden claimed in March 2021 that the border surge was "what happens every year." The U.S. saw 1.7 million border crossings by the end of that year, an all-time record.
2022 is expected to break that record, however.

At some level, my gut tells me the donks are beholden to the cartels
[FoxNews] Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., escalated his feud with Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on Sunday, saying Buttigieg is working for the agenda of "Marxist misfits."
Buttiegieg hit out at Rubio early Sunday over the senator's opposition to codifying gay marriage. Rubio fired back in a video on Twitter, mocking the Biden administration official for telling Americans suffering under high gas prices to buy expensive electric cars.
"We have a transportation secretary named Pete Buttigieg who believes that highways can be racist; who believes that $5 gas—which is killing working Americans—is a great thing because that means people are gonna drive less, or because everyone is now gonna go out and buy a $65,000 electric car with a Chinese battery in it," Rubio said.
"I'm gonna focus on the real problems. I'm not gonna focus on the agenda dictated by a bunch of affluent, elite liberals and a bunch of Marxist misfits who sadly today control the agenda of the modern Democratic Party," he added.
Rubio had previously called the push to codify gay marriage in Congress a "stupid waste of time."
Democrats began pushing the bill after the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade, causing some within the party to fear that Obergefell v. Hodges, the ruling creating a right to gay marriage, could fall as well.
"I don't think we should be spending time on a non-issue and a non-problem," Rubio said Saturday. "It's as simple as that. I just don't. Not when people are paying $4.66 for gas. Not when inflation and prices for some of the most basic goods and services in our country are crushing middle-class Americans."
"This is just not real. It's a fake problem. I don't vote for fake problems. I don't vote to solve problems that don't exist. It's important for the priorities of the people in Washington to be the priorities of the people that sent us there," he added.
The same-sex marriage bill passed through the House of Representatives last week and now must gain the support of at least 10 Republicans to pass the Senate.

I normally don't wish harm on people but given the behaviour of these assholes, that courtesy is withdrawn. I look forward to Mayor Pete contracting monkeypox in the near future.

And that is big big problem the conservatives have. Conservatives need to have the same malice and nastiness and aggressive mind set as this bastards Marxists
[Right Scoop] "Entirely predictable and entirely in violation of the Constitution." That’s how legendary attorney Alan Dershowitz described the conviction yesterday of Steve Bannon in a D.C. show trial as part of the January 6 theater being put on by the Democrats in control of our government.
"The only provision of the Constitution which appears basically twice is trial by jury, in and in front of a fair jury," said Dersh to Greta van Susteren on Newsmax. "Number one, he’s not — he didn’t have a jury. Number two, the judge took his defenses away from them. The judge denied him a jury trial. They wouldn’t allow him to put it on evidence that he believed that there was an executive privilege involved and he wanted a judicial determination before he violated the executive privilege. That issue could not be presented to the jury."
"So as I predicted on this show, on other shows before, the conviction was a foregone conclusion. The only issue is will it be reversed by appeal, either by the appellate court in the District of Columbia or by the Supreme Court?" he said. "I think it’s very likely that this conviction will be reversed at some point."
And he goes on to discuss the bias of the venue, the jury pool, the city of D.C. in general, and what the judge did wrong specifically.
[American Thinker] Close enough for government work’ has taken on a whole new dimension in the Biden era with the remarks reportedly delivered by CIA Director William Burns Wednesday at an Aspen Security Forum discussion. Jerry Dunleavy of the Washington Examiner has the story.
CIA Director William Burns said he is "very proud" of the agency’s analysis in Afghanistan in 2021 despite being blindsided by the swift collapse of the Afghan government and failing to predict how quickly the Taliban would take Kabul. (snip)
Burns said Wednesday during an Aspen Security Forum discussion that he was "very proud ... of the analysis, with all of its imperfections, that we tried to provide to policymakers over the six months leading up to the withdrawal."
The CIA director prefaced this by admitting the agency had not predicted the Taliban would take over the country as fast as they did and that "all of us have lessons to learn from experiences like that." He suggested that the CIA had at least gotten it less wrong than other parts of the U.S. government.
"As the president has said publicly, none of us anticipated that the Afghan government was going to flee as quickly as it did, that the Afghan military was going to collapse as fast as it did," Burns said. "Having said that, I think CIA at least was always on the more pessimistic end of the spectrum in terms of highlighting, you know, over the course of the spring and the summer, the obvious ways in which the Taliban were advancing rapidly and how this was hollowing out in many ways, not just the political leadership but also the military."
Burns shared the CIA’s assessment in July 2021, when he did not say he believed the country would fall in half a year, let alone in less than a month.

Evidently monitoring and controlling your failed effort for twenty years gave you no additional insights.
It is very difficult for me to believe that not one AFG analyst or cell of analysts proffered a scenario or predictive analysis that might have foretold such events.
#2
...At this point, I'm inclined to wonder if the plan wasn't simply, "Get us the hell out of there and blame everything on Trump," knowing they'd have cover in the media.
#4
/\ It was an obvious money pit which would produce zero dividends for 'Build Back Better' or the 'Green New Deal.' Biden pulled the plug, AFG funding found it's way elsewhere, possibly Biden's signature effort against Trump's Russian collaborators in Ukraine.
New day, new effort. Same Deep State handlers and MIC accomplices.
The AFG effort was likely sold to the Chinese for $1.00

One can look at a country and think it is strong only to have everything change by the appearance of the US leaving so quick we left our own civilians behind. I'd like to hear how proud the withdrawal planners are.

I guess that if you hold up the Bay of Pigs as your standard CIA operation, this one was a rousing success.

I just assumed they had their war taken away and fucked up the withdrawal in a gigantic temper tantrum.
The people who tell you they are the adults in the room are actually have the emotional stability of a three-year-old who just had his marshmallow taken away.

[American Thinker] The race is on! The Great Resetters who want an America of servile citizens willing to eat bugs, obey commands, accept fuel rationing, and own nothing have put the pedal to the metal in their nefarious plans to usher in worldwide communism for the masses and perpetual wealth, power, and privilege for the Schwab-Obama-Soros axis of evil (SOS, America, we're in distress!). What had been a slow and long march through the institutions these last hundred years has taken on such urgency today that the communists have scurried out of their usual hiding places in the shadows to prance around before us in broad daylight!
What could have triggered the Marxists to metamorphose from methodical societal saboteurs into outright commie colonizers almost overnight? In a word — Trump. One minute, the America-destroyers were in total control of the Republican and Democrat-ish Parties, and America's Uniparty was in full lockstep, marching mechanically to the globalist order's tyrannical little tune. And the next minute — bam! — Trump came out of nowhere, dashed their certain triumph, and deflated their celebratory balloons (filled with hot air and boasting, "Congratulations on your New World Order"). The global "elite" thought the man descending a golden escalator would be the perfect foil to launch Hillary into the White House with such an electoral landslide that the World Economic Forum's global socialism would get the mandate it needed to subdue America once and for all, and then, to their horror, it turned out that Trump was an America-loving patriot and brawler nobody had seen in the political arena for generations.
The international communists were taking victory laps before the 2016 election, while Donald Trump was busy dipping his wrapped fists in hot resin and broken glass before throwing deadly Dambe blows at both Hillary Clinton and the corrupt D.C. Establishment that has nourished and maintained her. Remember when Trump held a pre-debate press conference with several Clinton survivors who had credibly accused Bill of rape and Hillary of destroying their lives? Up to that point, nobody had dared to tell the truth to the Clintons' faces or dared to challenge the Pravda media's decades-long cover-ups for the Clintons' unhinged lies. When the "outsider" Trump entered the ring, he didn't know he was supposed to take a dive in the second round, after giving the people a few minutes to blow off steam and cheer. He went for the knockout, declaring war on the "enemy of the people" media, the wretchedly wicked Clintons, and the whole filthy, fetid Establishment that gives them power still today. Hoo-boy, someone...finally...was fighting back! He came out swinging and didn't stop until the bruised and bloody Uniparty limped off into a corner. (Lesson learned: Never let the Uniparty limp away!)
There are moments in history that function as gate hinges that swing humanity into the next era. Much will be written in the future about the avalanche of chaos today — the central bankers' inflationary debt bombs, the climate cultists' covert communism, the global health bureaucrats' malevolent use of the Great China Virus to crush individual liberty and drop a pandemic Iron Curtain of surveillance and control around citizens' lives, and the World Economic Forum's Malthusian efforts to Build Back Better totalitarianism on a global scale. The triggering event for all these diabolical plans coming to a head right this moment, however, was when American voters went to the polls in 2016 and said, "No more." When Donald Trump won the presidency, he kicked the gate leading to the next historical era wide open. That shocked the hell out of the calculating resetters patiently conquering the world. They could not allow Americans' unexpected "awakening" to ripple across the world like a MAGA boulder heaved into a globalist pond, and they have been waging deadly smash-mouth political war against those who dare to think for themselves ever since. Nobody said the Trump Era would be a walk in the park, after all. When you open the gate to a playground filled with murderers and tyrants, you've got to watch your six and play for keeps. (That's another bit of education whose lesson has been painfully steep.)

The one reason I want Trump for president in 2024 over DeSantis is the second massive 'FUCK YOU!' to the deep state (formerly known as the hackerama / vast Federal bureaucracy). To me, that particular message is important / paramount to deliver. It's fine to have DeSantis on as VP to set him up for 2028 and beyond), but get Trump in, fire every possible Federal employee in sight, then keep going on all fronts (Euroweenies, ChiComs, NGO's, etc.).

Well said, Raj, very well said and you are far from alone. Besoeker the future is never cast in stone, the one certainty being if you don't try it absolutely can't happen.

Also, make the unwinding of all Gerbilist / Green / MMT / Progressive / Cozy with China measures excruciatingly painful for anyone who was benefitting from them. Claw back. Put them all in harness to pay and pay until the National Debt is paid off and a healthy surplus is established.

Biden had some popularity in Jan 2021. He is now in the low 30's. He is actually more popular than his VP. The other Dem candidates were terrible. No appreciable portion of the electorate will be interested in doubling down on Socialist/Communist policies after three more years of this suck - Bernie and AOC are not viable. Hillary is unlikable and will be campaigning using a Walmart drive cart by 2024 yet she will run. Trump already is calling the shots in the GOP. His endorsement is a gold ticket, his displeasure will be demonstrated by Cheney. Trump is a lock to run and to win. That is the sole point of the failing J6 committee.

A very conservative friend is watching the Jan 6 ‘Hearings’ and has come around to believing Trump is actually guilty of fomenting an insurrection. Propaganda works.
#9
Best case scenario is Trump/Desantes followed by 2 terms of Desantes. I think the nation is ready for 3 terms of GOP at this point and that might be enough to fix a few things.
Dems are slippery when it come to voting issues and propaganda though, so who knows.
#10
Well said Raj. Trump would also have to pick well-vetted personal to fill out his cabinet (probably has people in mind already. The first administration had a lot of untrustworthy duds recommended to him.

actually the majoritarian view is that neutrinos (there are more than one type) do have a mass
however that mass is smaller than 1 millionth that of the electron
so maybe 'near zero mass'

It might help to be clear. Low energy neutrinos from ordinary nuclear reactions are all over the place (e.g. from the Sun) and tend to zip right through the Earth and us without interacting. Most of the time.
What they're talking about is ultra-high energy neutrinos, which actually have a fairly decent chance of interacting with us--which is how the big neutrino detectors like IceCube work. A neutrino interacts and produces a muon (if it was a muon neutrino) and the detector spots the Cerencov light from the muon's track and reconstructs the track to point it back to its source. (It's a lot harder with electron neutrinos or tau neutrinos--the pointing isn't nearly so good since they produce showers of particles.)
What _makes_ these ultra-high-energy particles is still a question, though knowing _where_ they come from can help answer it.

Thank you again for sharing your expertise, James.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
Bannon and people like him, are a clear and present dangers to the Shadow Government and Deep State. They must be dealt with.
