Mexico’s Leftist President Tries To Preempt Any U.S. Invasion Targeting Drug Cartels

Mexico’s leftist president is trying to take away any chance President-elect Trump could order the use of military force against the infamous Mexican drug cartels that control much of Mexico and traffic lethal drugs across the American border.

Trump said last weekend, “All foreign gang members will be expelled and I will immediately designate the [drug] cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. I will do so immediately.”

Trump’s choice for national security advisor, hard-core conservative Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL) co-introduced legislation in January 2023 calling for an “Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) against Mexican cartels for trafficking lethal fentanyl and other related activities that have caused destabilization in the Western Hemisphere.”

Pete Hegseth, Trump’s choice for Defense Secretary, said the cartels are “terrorist-like organizations poisoning our population. … If it takes military action, that’s what it may take, eventually. Obviously, you’re gonna have to be smart about it. Obviously, the precision strikes. But if you put the fear in the minds of the drug lords, at least as a start, [and] they can’t operate in the open with impunity, [it] changes the way they operate.” (Read more from “Mexico’s Leftist President Tries To Preempt Any U.S. Invasion Targeting Drug Cartels” HERE)

Biden Shelled Out $80,000,000,000 For IRS Enforcement. Congress Has Already Revoked Half Of It.

Congress rescinded tens of billions of dollars from a government agency in December that Republicans have long accused of being weaponized against taxpayers and corporations.

Lawmakers’ stopgap spending bill, signed into law by President Joe Biden on Dec. 20 to fund the government through March 2025, notably cut $20 billion in supplemental funding for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Republican lawmakers opposed Biden and congressional Democrats doling out $80 billion in supplemental funding to the IRS to bolster enforcement actions and the hiring of IRS agents in 2022, and have worked to claw back billions of this funding over the course of several spending bills.

“I think it was very wise of Republicans to include that [$20 billion rescission in IRS funding] in the package,” John Kartch, vice president of communications at Americans for Tax Reform, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “This is 20 billion we should never spend. By kicking it out, it means the Trump administration is never going to spend it.”

The rescission in IRS funding follows prior action from lawmakers in June 2023 and May to claw back parts of the $80 billion in supplemental funding shelled out to the IRS under Biden and Democratic lawmakers’ 2022 Inflation Reduction Act.

When Congress passes a stopgap funding bill, known as a continuing resolution (CR), existing policy from the previous fiscal year is written into the CR barring changes to the text from lawmakers.

Trump’s Diet Coke Button to Return on His First Day Back in the White House

The infamous Diet Coke button from President-elect Donald Trump’s White House is returning to the Oval Office when he is sworn in again on January 20, according to a report.

Trump’s red button that was stationed on his desk until he left the White House in January 2021 will return when he moves back in, the Daily Mail reported on Thursday:

Whenever the former president pressed the device, his Diet Coke was delivered on a silver tray by his then-valet, Walt Nauta, according to Newsmax.

The return of the button is just one small gear in the well-oiled machine that will remove the current First Family’s belongings and move in the incoming First Family’s stuff in just about five hours, the outlet reported.

Trump’s clothes will already be in his closets and his family photos will be on the walls when he moves back in. (Read more from “Trump’s Diet Coke Button to Return on His First Day Back in the White House” HERE)

Trump Asks Supreme Court to Halt TikTok Ban From Taking Effect

President-elect Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court on Friday to delay a law that would effectively ban TikTok from taking effect until after he assumes office.

Trump lawyer John Sauer, who is the solicitor general designee for the incoming administration, petitioned the high court to postpone its hearing on the TikTok ban, arguing that the matter could be redressed “through political means” instead.

“President Trump alone possesses the consummate dealmaking expertise, the electoral mandate, and the political will to negotiate a resolution to save the platform while addressing the national security concerns,” Sauer wrote.

“In light of these interests — including, most importantly, his overarching responsibility for the United States’ national security and foreign policy — President Trump opposes banning TikTok in the United States at this juncture, and seeks the ability to resolve the issues at hand through political means once he takes office.”

The Chinese firm ByteDance had been ordered to divest TikTok or face an outright ban in the US pursuant to a law signed by President Biden earlier this year. (Read more from “Trump Asks Supreme Court to Halt TikTok Ban From Taking Effect” HERE)

Report: China Rapidly Builds Up Weapons And Psychological Warfare Operations

The People’s Republic of China (PRC) is undertaking an unprecedented military buildup aimed at challenging America and its allies, particularly in the Indo-Pacific. And, like Nazi Germany’s buildup in the 1930s, the militarization program ordered by the Chinese Communist Party isn’t simply a great power buildup — it’s a weapon in service of a deadly ideology.

The 2024 Department of Defense China Military Power Report and recent analysis by Bill Gertz in the Washington Times reveal this buildup as part of a broader strategy by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to position itself as a global superpower. Meanwhile, the U.S., having spent $5.4 trillion on the global war on terror and attendant, futile nation-building, has left itself strategically vulnerable by diverting critical resources while underestimating the threat from China.

Missile Expansion and Strategic Modernization

China has rapidly expanded the People’s Liberation Army Rocket Force (PLARF) arsenal, adding, that we know of, some:

50 new intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) capable of striking the continental U.S., for a cumulative total of 400.

300 medium-range ballistic missiles and 100 long-range cruise missiles.

More than 600 operational nuclear warheads, projected to surpass 1,000 by 2030.

Biden-Harris Administration Wishes Everyone a ‘Happy Kwanzaa’

The Biden-Harris White House has wished Americans a “Happy Kwanzaa” — a holiday invented in 1966 by a racist extremist who served prison time for torturing a woman.

Vice President Kamala Harris — who was born just two years before the holiday’s inception — claimed in 2020 that she and her family used to gather around, “across multiple generations,” and discuss Kwanzaa’s “seven principles” — which are identical to the principles of left-wing terrorist organization Symbionese Liberation Army.

Harris wrote on X in 2020 that her family’s “Kwanzaa celebrations are one of my favorite childhood memories,” garnering thousands of critical comments pointing out that the holiday’s founder, Maulana Karenga (born Ronald McKinley Everett, pictured above), was a violent radical:

Despite the backlash, the White House has once again posted a “Happy Kwanzaa” message on social media:

Spy Bosses ‘Silenced’ Defense Department, FBI Scientists From Briefing Biden on COVID Lab Leak Evidence

Spy chiefs “silenced” researchers in the Defense Department and FBI who discovered strong evidence that COVID-19 most likely leaked from a Chinese lab, The Post has learned.

As a result, their findings were kept out of an August 2021 report to President Biden on the origins of the global pandemic.

That report concluded that the virus behind COVID “was probably not genetically engineered.”

After the pandemic erupted in Wuhan, China, three scientists from the Defense Intelligence Agency began trying to figure out exactly where it came from — whether SARS-CoV-2 jumped from bats into humans, or whether the virus was man-made and came from a lab accident.

The “zoonotic origin” theory was backed by powerful members of the public health establishment, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, and questions about a possible “lab leak” were repeatedly dismissed as a conspiracy theory.

Documents Reveal Just How Crazy The CIA’s MKULTRA Mind-Control Program Really Was

A new collection of over 1,200 documents detailing the Central Intelligence Agency’s (CIA) infamous mind control program, MKULTRA, was published by the National Security Archive and ProQuest on Monday.

The collection was announced 50 years after Seymour Hersh’s New York Times investigation illuminated the program’s abuses, according to the Archive. It was also published 70 years after the U.S. pharmaceutical manufacturer, Eli Lilly & Company, became the CIA’s primary source of the psychoactive drug LSD, the Archive added.

The MKULTRA project was conducted in the 1950s, and most of the original records were destroyed by CIA director Richard Helms and head of the Technical Services Staff (TSS) of the CIA’s Chemical Division Sidney Gottlieb, according to the Archive. Gottlieb would eventually serve as director of the agency’s Technical Services Division (TSD).

The collection includes records that managed to survive the agency’s “purge” of secretive documents, according to the Archive. (Read more from “Documents Reveal Just How Crazy The CIA’s MKULTRA Mind-Control Program Really Was” HERE)

Liberal Lawyers Propose Longshot Nuclear Option to Stop Trump From Taking Office

Two liberal attorneys claimed Thursday that Congress can still prevent President-elect Donald Trump from taking office — and elect Vice President Kamala Harris in his place — if they act fast.

Congress can reject electoral votes on when they gather to certify them on Jan. 6 because Trump is disqualified from holding office under 14th Amendment, which restricts anyone who took an oath to support the Constitution and then “engaged in insurrection” from holding office, attorneys Evan Davis and David Schulte wrote in a column for The Hill.

“The unlikelihood of congressional Republicans doing anything that might elect Harris as president is obvious,” the attorneys wrote. “But Democrats need to take a stand against Electoral College votes for a person disqualified by the Constitution from holding office unless and until this disability is removed. No less is required by their oath to support and defend the Constitution.”

Lawmakers have grounds to dispute the vote if electors were “not lawfully certified” or if the vote was “not regularly given,” they claim.

“A vote for a candidate disqualified by the Constitution is plainly in accordance with the normal use of words ‘not regularly given,’” the attorneys argued, writing that disqualification for insurrection is “no different from disqualification based on other constitutional requirements such as age, citizenship from birth and 14 years’ residency in the United States.”

Report: Georgia Realtor Killed, Allegedly by Illegal Alien Freed by Biden

An illegal alien, reportedly released into the United States by President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS), is accused of driving drunk and causing a crash that killed 37-year-old Jimmy Chang, a well-known realtor in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia.

Christian Fernando Irias-Ruiz, a 20-year-old Honduran national, has been arrested and charged with first-degree vehicular homicide, drunk driving, reckless driving, speeding, and possession of alcohol by someone under 21 years old.

According to police, the crash occurred just days before Christmas when Irias-Ruiz allegedly drove drunk, ran a red light, and t-boned Jimmy Chang’s vehicle — killing him. A third vehicle was involved in the crash, which left some passengers injured.

“It’s devastating for all the family right now, still can’t process that he’s gone,” Jason Chang, Jimmy’s brother, told WSB-TV 2 Atlanta. “He impacted a lot of lives.”

A report from Fox News Digital reveals that Irias-Ruiz is an illegal alien from Honduras and was first apprehended crossing the southern border in June 2021. DHS officials, though, released Irias-Ruiz into the United States interior through Biden’s expansive Catch and Release network.
