Flotsam and Jetsam - Mayhem in Mexico, USA Takes Canada, Newsom Admits Stupidity

Turmoil in Mexico (I mean, more than usual, which is a lot) continues in the wake of the death of the head of the Jalisco New Gen cartel in a raid on his mistresses place, based on intel provided by the United States. Joe Chalfant at TownHall, Mexican Special Forces Kill Mastermind Behind Cartel Terrorism Outbreak. From Althouse, "This didn’t seem to be just an operation to capture 'El Mencho,' but to exterminate him, to use lethal force to bring him down." "In the criminal underworld, such actions are not simply overlooked. The reaction is what we’re seeing now: narco-terrorism, blockades, and fires in grocery stores across Mexico." Said security expert David Saucedo, quoted in "Expert’s chilling warning after killing of cartel boss 'El Mencho' sparks violence across Mexico" (NY Post). Also at the Post: "Deadly violence in Mexico spreads after cartel boss is killed — as Americans warned to shelter in place."" Cartel Watch @CartelWatchNet, "Army kills 'El Tuli', El Mencho's right-hand man who masterminded the post-boss-death violence, blockades & fires in Jalisco. He even put a 20k peso (~$1,200) bounty on soldiers' heads. Killed in shootout while fleeing; troops seized ~$410K MXN + $965K USD cash + arsenal. Big momentum shift against the cartel." Not the Bee @Not_the_Bee, "Somebody wrote this. Somebody edited it. Somebody published it. Somebody posted it to social media. All four of those people should be fired." Quote Daily Mail @DailyMail, "Spoiled tourists complain about being stuck at luxury resorts amid cartel violence in Mexico https://trib.al/mtfHX82" At Twitchy, Member of Parliament Especially Concerned for 2SLGBTQIA+ Canadians in Puerto Vallarta. Heather McPherson @HMcPhersonNDP, "Many Canadians, especially members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, are in Puerto Vallarta, where violence has quickly escalated. A shelter-in-place order is in effect. Please stay vigilant and consult the Government of Canada travel advisories for Mexico." Cam at BA notes After Cartel Response to Leader's Killing, Mexico's Gun Laws Look Even More Ridiculous. At the Chronic, Trump Is Right About the Mexican-American War "America was willing to negotiate and compromise while Mexico insisted the United States accept Mexican demands. America was willing to consider Mexican claims while Mexico excluded consideration of its debts to American citizens. America sent an army to act on the defensive while Mexico ordered an army to start a war—after which America paid a fair price for land it had already conquered. Far from expecting Americans to be apologetic, Mexico ought to finally acknowledge that it got what it asked for in that war of its own making."

M-SNOW (And Lemon) Hardest Hit?, Duane Patterson says Don't Wreck My Column, You Hoser and Chloe notes Libs Are Losing It After Seeing Kash Patel Celebrating The Olympic Gold. How can they lose what they never had? Politico whines Look how much Canadians hate the United States now, "It’s not just about the trade war. Nearly half of America’s neighbors to the north now think the U.S. is a bigger threat to world peace than Russia." I mean, if we can beat them at hockey . . . Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok "Kash Patel celebrating USA Hockey Team historic win Democrat Senator sipping margaritas with a foreign gang member and alleged human trafficker and wife beater.

From the Free Bacon, Anti-Regime Protests Reignite in Iran as Trump Prepares Strike Options Targeting Islamic Republic Officials, "The demonstrations could further weaken the regime amid sputtering nuclear negotiations." TCW reports Starmer bends the law to reward Iran belligerence and thwart Trump. Hat Hair's Beege Welborn, 'Right Now, That Deal Is Worth Toilet Paper, Basically': Flushing Chagos. Guido Fawkes @GuidoFawkes, "WATCH: Chagossian First Minister Misley Mandarin has - from the new settlement on the Chagos archipelago - given Donald Trump formal permission to strike Iran from Diego Garcia. He says: "We, the people of the Chagos Islands, give our blessing for the United States to use the base at Diego Garcia for strikes against the Iranian regime – in defence of the Iranian people." His full statement: "Today, I stand not in exile, but on our own soil, as the democratically elected head of government of the Chagos Islands. Let the world hear this clearly. We are here. We govern here. And we decide what happens here. . . "

1945 examines Russia’s Ukraine ‘Victory’: NATO Expansion, 1.2 Million Casualties and a Battered Economy. "On the eve of the fourth anniversary of the 2022 invasion, the Kremlin faces a paradoxical reality: while it occupies roughly 20% of Ukraine, the “strategic price” of that soil has fundamentally compromised Russia’s status as a global power. The war has shifted from a “Special Military Operation” to a structural drain that is hollowing out the Russian state from the inside out."

From Althouse, "In the not-too-distant past, most people probably would have at least grudgingly accepted a regime in which prosecutors and law-enforcement agents sorted through materials from a sprawling investigation..." "... and made public only those portions needed to properly handle a case. The additional information that might interest us, and perhaps even help improve society, would remain secret. Federal prosecutors could generally be trusted to focus on their narrow criminal enforcement mission and to not abuse the tools given them for that limited purpose. . . . Writes former federal prosecutor Daniel Richman, in "The Epstein Files Should Never Have Been Released" (NYT)." You might remember Dan Richman as the friend/lawyer of James Comey, who received leaked classified into to release to the press and initiate the Mueller investigation. unseen1 @unseen1_unseen, "The NYT is acknowledging the epic backfire they are experiencing as the epstein files turns out out to be basically a who's who of democrats." Quote 𝐆𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐝𝐮𝐬 @ImperiumFirst, "The New York Times just published an article titled ‘The Epstein Files Should Never Have Been Released’ You’re never going to guess who the author is." At Da Caller, Mike Benz Says Trump Admin Has ‘Once-In-Generation’ Chance To Put Deep State On Defense Post-Epstein Files. At NYPo, a report Austin Tucker Martin, gunman shot dead by Secret Service at Mar-a-Lago, was obsessed with Epstein files. Egged on by Democrats and Thomas Massey.

At LI, Mary Chastain is astonished by Newsom to Black Voters: ‘I’m No Better Than You. I’m a 960 SAT Guy’ “I cannot, you’ve never seen me read a speech because I cannot read a speech.” He can't be black, he can't be a woman, his bona fides as a straight male are too well established, so he has to go with disabled to qualify for intersectionality. VodkaPundit at Insty, has a 2028 PREVIEW: Newsom Tells Black Audience He’s Just Like Them Because He Has a Mental Disorder. Ace, Gavin Newsom to Black Democrats: I'm Like You, I'm Low IQ and I Can't Read. "That's one way to ingratiate yourself to an audience." Nicki Minaj @NICKIMINAJ, "His way of bonding with black ppl is to tell them how stupid he is & that he can’t read. This means my first read on him was correct. He’s been handed so many things & put in high positions he never earned or deserved. Do you wanna know the craziest part of this footage that will haunt him forever? He’s literally slowing his speech down & talking in a sporadic cadence. . . ." Chloe says Gavin Newsom Just Sounded Incredibly Racist While Promoting His New Book and Capt. Ed is just Too Dumb to Check: Gavin Newsom Is Too Dumb to Check. Colin Wright @SwipeWright, "Did you know that Gavin Newsom was "dyslexic" before he brought it up last week? It's obvious what he's doing. He knows that the woke left is going to heavily penalize him for being a straight, white guy. He desperately needed to surface some "oppressed" intersectional identity. He's going with "disabled" and will start "calling out" his opponents for "abelism" now. . ." Philip Melanchthon Wegmann @PhilipWegmann, "Susan asked a tough question respectfully. The press office of @GavinNewsom did not respond in kind." Quote Susan Crabtree @susancrabtree, "EXCLUSIVE and BREAKING: What about that @GavinNewsom dyslexia disgnosis - can the gov. provide any paperwork related to his dyslexia diagnosis at any time of his life? Newsom’s comms team just now tells me to “fuck off. . . ”" Stephen L. Miller @redsteeze, "100% guaranteed, mark it, Jake Tapper is going to scold a Republican in the coming future because Gavin Newsom says he's dyslexic." Jen O'Connell at RedState, says Boom: MS Gov. Tate Reeves Schools Gavin Newsom on California Reading Scores vs. Mississippi. Governor Tate Reeves @tatereeves, "This seems like a good time to remind you that a black student in Mississippi is 2.5X more likely to read proficiently by 4th grade than if he or she lived in California. We would be happy to send one of our reading coaches to assist you, @GavinNewsom. Learning is a lifelong journey, and you might achieve some of the gains that our black fourth graders have. Incidentally, one nice feature of increased literacy is that you do not have to fall back on vulgarity to seem passionate. Let me know!" Quote, Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom. "You didn’t give a shit about the President of the United States of America posting an ape video of President Obama or calling African nations shitholes — but you’re going to call me racist for talking about my lifelong struggle with dyslexia?"Dave Strom, Democrats Don't Know How to Get Their Birth Certificates? Western Lensman @WesternLensman, "Gavin Newsom tells Jim Clyburn that he’d have trouble complying with the SAVE Act because he doesn’t know where to find his birth certificate: “You've got to find your birth certificate. I have no clue where mine is." Good lord. Just beyond parody." VodkaPundit at Insty calls it CONSTITUENT SERVICE: Newsom Pardons Illegal Alien Attempted Murderer, to prevent his deportation. At WSJ, When Is a Tax Not a Tax? "When it’s a taking, like California’s proposed wealth levy." To be fair, Newsom opposes it because even he isn't that stupid.

Ace, Mamdani Calls Upon New Yorkers to Do the Jobs the Government Just Can't Do -- Shoveling Snow; He Says All Applicants Must Show ID Before Shoveling Snow, "Wait, is he saying that black and brown people aren't allowed to shovel snow? And married women?" From PM, NYPD officers harassed, doxed by agitators in Mamdani's NYC. "Activists have been recording exchanges with officers and uploading them online in a manner similar to anti-ICE activists who confront federal immigration agents." PJM's Bob Spencer notes New York’s First Free Grocery Store Shows Yet Again That Socialism Doesn’t Work. PJM's Matt Margolis astonished CNN Finally Admits the Truth About Democrat-Run Cities. "Zakaria opened with Zohran Mamdani’s New York, calling it "a prime example of a problem Democrats seem unwilling to confront." That's a pretty remarkable admission from a CNN host, but I assure you, he was just getting started. "Blue cities are out of control," he said, "promising more, spending more, delivering less, and pushing off the fiscal problems to some future day."" At the Critic, Titania McGrath writes of The warmth of the collective "Communism is the only guarantee of human happiness," "Since taking power, Mamdani has declared that “we will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism”. No sane person could possibly argue with this logic. If it’s a choice between being warm or frigid, I know which I’d prefer. Indeed, during Stalin’s time he built a range of holiday camps called “gulags”, where residents often slept shoulder-to-shoulder in crammed rooms. Just imagine how warm and non-frigid that was."

Co-workers told TMZ he recently "became fixated on Epstein" and was "deeply disturbed by what he believed was a government cover-up"" Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius, "An ill-informed “academic” who spent 25 years training our senior military leaders thinks the followers of a constitutionally-elected President whose primary policy goal is to reduce the size, scope, power and intrusiveness of the federal Leviathan are all “Nazis.” This is how we produce Milleys and Vindmans in uniform, and it has to stop." Quote The Atlantic @TheAtlantic "Since the start of Donald Trump’s second term, Republicans have deployed ever more Nazi imagery and rhetoric, and espoused ideas associated with the Nazi Party, @RadioFreeTom argues.

Then they ... just disappeared from the headlines, and it came out quietly that hundreds and even thousands of protesters were brutally massacred. So why did the story mostly die? Because an influence operation ran by a foreign-backed media group called Grayzone turned a massacre into a debate about who was really behind the protests. A new report from @ncri_io , published February 19, documents exactly how it worked: the seeding, the laundering, and who did the amplifying. As always, patience as I pull the thread together."

Flotsam and Jetsam - Reporting Safe from the Storm

Well, we survived snowmageddocopalypse 26.5 (the 5th "winter storm" of the 25-26 winter season). Not too bad. We only have about 2 inches of snow, and although there are still a few small flakes coming down, I don't expect any more accumulation. The temperature has climbed to a little above freezing, expecting nearly 40 by the end of the day. I suppose I should shovel some before it gets too sticky. We had high winds overnight, and there's some small branches down in the front yard, but nothing damaging. Although there were some power outages in the area, we were spared (so far). 

Although thin, it is the perfect  consistency for rolling into big balls to make snowmen with.

To give Mexico a chance to reach her potential, the good people and leaders of Mexico will have to go to war and pay the blood price to drive the cartels into the shadows...then those same people will need to find some way to push the Mexican government to act in a way deserving of her people. I don't see the below as a bad thing--this is part of the process of making a better, modern Mexico. I hope the government forces give no quarter and continue.

He seems to be confessing something that is true, making himself vulnerable and relatable. Of course, he's also exposing his limitations. But his antagonists may screw up trying to take advantage of this. 2. In saying "I'm like you" to what seems to be an audience of black people, he's taking a risk. You can hear warm laughter, as, perhaps, many people relate to him, because they've struggled with exams, for whatever reason. But he seems to be unwittingly expressing the old stereotype about black people — the one right-wing people love to bring up. So, again, his antagonists will screw up trying to exploit what is, from him, only a slight innuendo. I'll bet some of you do it right here in the comments.

Alito just celebrated 20 years of service on the high court, and Thomas would mark 35 years of service this October -- nice round numbers. . . . Far be it from me to encourage Thomas or Alito, each a hero of the American republic, to retire. But the timing does seem right.

"He's moved on to claiming the 1st Amendment give him and his clowns the right to, at the least, trespassing and- if they kept people from leaving and such- quite possibly kidnapping. No, it doesn't, asshole. And you and the others should be prosecuted."

Ace notes Jonathan Turley: Gay Sexual Assaulter Don Lemon Is Talking Himself Into a Prison Sentence "A lot of crimes turn on mental state -- "intent." James Comey can tell you all about that. He reads "intent" requirements into laws that don't have it, like the Espionage Act. Many times, you can take prohibited actions but not be chargeable with a crime because you didn't have the specified mental state. Don Lemon obviously did invade a church. The question is: Did he intend to traumatize them? Did he intend to impede their civil rights through threat or force? Did he show animus against their religion? Don Lemon is yet another 70 IQ DEI disaster, like Candace Owens, who thinks he's smart because he's been awarded Participation Trophy after Participation Trophy." Jonathan Turley @JonathanTurley "Don Lemon did his best to perfect the case against the protesters in the Minneapolis Church as targeting the congregants over their faith. In what sounds like a pitch for prosecution under the FACE Act, Lemon zeroed in on the religious values of the congregants in a new tirade... ...Lemon and Armstrong are playing directly into the language of the FACE Act, which "prohibits the use or threat of force and physical obstruction that injures, intimidates, or interferes with a person seeking to ... exercise the First Amendment right of religious freedom at a place of religious worship."" Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman, "Don Lemon just DOUBLED DOWN, calling the church members he terrorized "entitled white supremacists" for being upset he STORMED their service to "protest" ICE!

Althouse, With stacks of papers as props, Trump endeavors to prove to the press that the first year of his second term was jam-packed with amazing accomplishments. "I watched the entire thing, and you can too.

Sherrill, a Democrat, will issue an executive order calling a state of emergency on utility costs after she’s sworn into office Tuesday, said a person familiar with the matter. The much-anticipated moves will enable New Jersey to block utility-rate increases sought by companies while it accelerates new power generation, said Allison Clements, co-chair of Sherrill’s energy transition team."

From Twitchy, Pam Grier Stuns America With Incredible Announcement That She Is a Time Traveler From the Past Nicholas Fondacaro @NickFondacaro "Pam Grier recalls her mom trying to protect her from seeing lynched bodies hanging to trees in Columbus, Ohio. She noted that white families would also be lynched for supporting black families: "My mom would go, 'don't look, don't look, don't look,' and she would pull us away because there's someone hanging from a tree. And they have a memorial for it now where you can see where people were and left. And it triggers me today to see that a voice can be silenced and if a white family supported a black, they're going to get burned down or killed or lynched as well." It's been 126 years since double lynching in Columbus. vittorio @IterIntellectus "Why Young Women Moved Left While Young Men Stayed Sane." Althouse, "In just four years, anti-gay bias rose by around 10 percent.... Just as bias against gay people fell especially steeply before 2020..." ""... it has surged particularly sharply since. Perhaps most surprising is that these trends were distinctly robust among the youngest American adults — those under 25. This group increased its animus against marginalized groups in general and gay people in particular at a faster rate than older Americans did. Also surprising is that although anti-gay bias has risen faster among conservatives, it has also risen among liberals. What explains this decline in tolerance?" From "Americans Are Turning Against Gay People" (NYT). Tolerance?! I would think it's considered homophobic just to use the word "tolerance," which connotes minimal acceptance and little more than a willingness to refrain from discriminating or saying actively mean things. In fact, I'd suggest it is the demand to do so much more — to celebrate pride in sexual matters and to endure indoctrination sessions that force feed questionable fine points — that has made people resistant and more likely to check a less gay-friendly box on the survey."
