And the guns are smuggled from the US down into Mexico. Criminals smuggle drugs into the US that kill us, and down into Mexico to kill them. And the crooks profit both ways.
When trump threatened to put a 25% tariff on goods from Mexico until Mexico stopped undocumented migrants from crossing the border, Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum told trump to stop lying, that "encounters at the Mexico–United States border have decreased by 75 percent between December 2023 and November 2024.”
trump then simply lied and told reporters that Sheinbaum had “agreed to stop Migration through Mexico, and into the United States, effectively closing our Southern Border,” and his supporters trumpeted on social media that trump had closed the border with one phone call.

So exciting!
Elon Musk’s Tesla lobbied UK to charge petrol drivers more
The company called for the mandate to boost electric car sales to be extended to lorries, and said electric vehicle (EV) subsidies could come from charging people buying petrol and diesel cars.
“The government should ask those still choosing to purchase a new polluting vehicle, to pay more,” Tesla’s European boss, Joe Ward, wrote in a letter addressed to roads minister, Lilian Greenwood, in July. – BBC
‘Wonder if that’ll happen here on Day Two? Maybe Day Three, tops? (ha ha)
‘Twill certainly would help poor Li’l Elon’s bottom line, after all – It’s tough being the richest “planetarianal,” y’know . . .
I’ll be sure to wave as I bicycle past your empty pile of rusting junk on the side of the road!
Oooo! What ELSE have we in store for us?
Fasten your seat belts? Nah. Gas’ll be too expensive to drive.
Trump never did get Mexico to pay for the wall! But he’s welcome to FAAFO over the border and/or tariffs once he’s sworn in. In his first term, DJT showed himself to be more of a schoolyard bully than a dictator. And that like most bullies, when enough people stood up to Trump, he backed off. I have reason to believe that it would be more of the same in his second term. Especially with very slim GOP margins over the Democrats in the House and Senate.
When will this stupid country face up to the fact that any “crisis at our southern border” is just our diseased chickens coming home to roost, due to the insane, asinine, expensive, counter-productive, dehumanizing, corrupt War on Drug-Using Americans? Not only does that support the USA’s organized-crime syndicates by giving them an unregulated monopoly, it drives billions and billions of dollars per year into the greedy hands of the Latin American drug lords, criminal cartels, gangs, and corrupt governments, whose fights over all that American loot are what’s making life miserable for the average citizens of those countries.
It was even worse in Afghanistan, home to 90% of the world’s opium poppies, where Americans were financing both sides of our longest-running war. (Tho, as of August 2021, we’re only supporting the Taliban.)
Wanna address the immigration “problem”? Legalize drugs! Turn their abuse into a medical issue, not a criminal one. Convert dealers from back-alley crooks to successful entrepreneurs, just as welcome in the Jaycees as the brewers and tavern owners were after the repeal of our original god-awful blunder with Prohibition!

…They say no new taxes…
…but say nothing about fees, hikes, tariffs, hidden charges, surcharges, inflation, smaller products…
…etc, etc and so forth…
