Yet, oddly, despite the DNC types claiming that the threat of tariffs wouldn’t get any results, and that it was just gonna cost the US purchaser more….and that We (the US) needed Mexican made parts and produce more than Mexico needed the US….

Not only did Mexico choose to start closing their southern border to Central American migrants heading to the US (they already were closed to migrants intending to stay in Mexico….where the immigration laws are even harsher than those in the US) they also began investigating the sources of funds for those “Migrant Caravans”…

And, oddly enough, they found those funds came from “U.S., England, Cameroon, Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala”…and those funds were funneled through some “26 individuals and entities”…all of who still have some assets in Mexico…and said assets are now frozen pending an investigation. 

The margin of savings when one considers the poorer productivity, increased transportation costs and other issues with production in Mexico for goods produced in Mexico but used in the US mean that the 10% (and soon higher) tariffs would make the savings in labor be nearly nonexistent at the user or consumption end….therefore there would be no reason to continue production in Mexico for many companies……a truism which was, no doubt, communicated by many US companies who source goods and assemblies from our southern neighbor instead of produce them here in the US. 

And Mexico desperately needs the money. So they capitulated.

So yeah, those threats from Trump of Tariffs on Mexican goods DID work….. and worked well, indeed. Odd, how when one plays for good, and a leader with balls is in place, and one who puts the good of the country first, how things get done

There may be nothing funnier or more touching (or irritating) than the glee with which a young cat attacks and shreds a roll of toilet paper.

Of course, cleaning up the mess and finding a replacement quickly when the needful is needing doing is frustrating.

I mean, Lord God Almighty….

3 days without measurable rain. Three Whole Days…The yards and fields are parched.

I don’t know what we are gonna do….

To threaten tariffs on Mexican produced goods and services unless Mexico did something to stem the flow of invaders to our country through Mexico…..(Hell, if they’d just not FACILITATE their passage, it would be good…)

They said:
It wouldn’t work…

The Mexican’s didn’t have the manpower to do anything about it.
It was impossible to stem the flow

and so on and so on….

Yet, oddly enough, it would seem that the Mexicans are at least making the attempt…or faking it, anyway.

Either way, they are arresting people and turning others away.

Funny, that….Threats of economic damage to THEIR country when their actions lead to economic damage to the US actually worked….
Whoda thought? 

There’s not much I can say that hasn’t already been said.

But I would like to say this:

Those men had guts, Plain old hard to find GUTS. I’m not sure I could have walked out of those landing craft and done the job they did.

And THANK you to those who DID do that job.

That’s all. 

I would wager, with pretty long odds, that those men that dropped on D-Day would find only disgust with the reporters commenting on their bravery 75 years later…that they would like to discuss the reporter’s politics, the policies those reporters promote, and the fact that those self same reporters show only disgust towards the current crop of military men and women.

I’d bet that they think that the reporters are not the kind of people they risked their lives for, and that the “journalists” are trying and helping to destroy the country for which they fought. 

So Illinois citizens get a new tax on fuels….an additional 19 cents per gallon….which goes into effect July 1.

Seems that the state had to find some way to pay for all that “Deferred Maintenance” on all the roads…some of that maintenance delayed for decades….since the state has diverted all those millions and millions of dollars that were collected from roads to social programs and to simply pay for the bloated government payrolls.

And now bridges are falling down and roads are breaking up… so like good socialists…they are adding an additional tax.

How long before this tax money is diverted and they have to add (again) yet another tax to pay for the deferred road and bridge repair? They CLAIM it can’t be diverted, but this is, after all, Illinois….

What good little Socialists the Government of Illinois are…

For the “Coward of Broward”.

“The FDLE investigation shows former Deputy Peterson did absolutely nothing to mitigate the MSD shooting that killed 17 children, teachers and staff and injured 17 others,” said Florida Department of Law Enforcement Commissioner Rick Swearingen. “There can be no excuse for his complete inaction and no question that his inaction cost lives.”


The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) announced Tuesday afternoon that officials arrested former Broward Sheriff’s Deputy Scot Peterson and charged him with “seven counts of neglect of a child, three counts of culpable negligence, and one count of perjury.”

I’d rather see him shot for cowardice, but this is a good start…..

Seems that there are reports that Congolese have crossed our southern border….and possibly some have ebola. 

Maybe true, and maybe not.

But…..do you want to find out what could happen if Ebola is let loose in the US?

At the end of the day, it is a perfect example of why we need border security….and while the Southern border is the biggest issue and the weakest link, the other borders are weak as well and need to be secured.
