While those perpetually waiting to be betrayed are complaining that Trump delayed some flashy deportations The Hill reports that the Mexicans are deploying 15,000 troops - to the northern border:
Mexico had previously announced its plans to deploy 6,000 national guardsmen to its southern border with Guatemala, but its plans to beef up security on its border with the U.S. had not previously been disclosed, according to the news service.
[Defense Minister] Sandoval confirmed the Mexican forces were detaining migrants attempting to cross the border, according to AFP.
We're no expert but it seems Mexico has deployed two lines of defense against illegal migrants.
Democrats are now in the awkward position of defending illegal Mexicans whom the courts have ordered deported.
Meanwhile, rather than blowing some stuff up and killing some Iranians, Trump orders a cyberattack on the Iranian air defense network.
Iran impotently shakes it's fist at Trump while Secretary of State Mike Pompeo arrives in Saudi Arabia to 'build a global coalition' against Iran.'
Oh, some New York City literary harpy has accused Trump of rape. Trump: 'She's not my type.'
Islamic terrorists wear sombreros.
From Counterfact Magazine a chilling report:
The next major terrorist attack in the US is likely to originate in Mexico and strike at a major city in California, Arizona, New Mexico or Texas. It will most likely be conducted by ISIS or Hezbollah fighters, and will be aimed at resulting in something resembling a second 9-11, leaving hundreds or even thousands dead and causing billions in damage
...
Reports from Mexico over the past several years reveal the country’s ungoverned spaces have become base areas for ISIS cells, as well those or Al Qaeda and Hezbollah. All of them share the mission of penetrating the American homeland to conduct terrorist attacks intended to duplicate the impact of 9-11. They are attempting to do so by using the same border tunnels and routes exploited by Mexico’s drug smuggling cartels.
According to a Washington Times report, ISIS has been operating a camp in the northern Mexican state of Chihuahua, just eight miles from the US border, for over four years. Citing sources that included an “Army field grade officer” and a “Federal Police inspector,” the watchdog group Judicial Watch has more recently reported ISIS is organizing a fighting group only a few miles from El Paso, in the Anapra neighborhood of Juarez and in Puerto Palomas.
Hezbollah, eh...
This is great fodder for Will's good idea, American Strikes: The America-Iran War.
Terrorist infiltrators at the border. A border patrol unit ambushed. Then bam! Multiple bombs go off at a Arizona Cardinals game. A shopping mall in Tuscan is shot up...
The damn book writes itself. Which is probably the only way it gets done becuase lord know we don't have the time.
Via the Telegraph, Mexico's Commie president demands Spain apologize...for Hernan Cortez:
Spain's government has refused a demand from Mexico's new president that it apologise for conquering the country five hundred years ago.
Firing the first shots in what threatens to become a diplomatic row, the Left-wing Mexican leader Andrés Manuel López Obrador announced on Monday that he had sent letters to Spain’s King Felipe VI and Pope Francis urging them to apologize for crimes committed against the indigenous peoples of what is today Mexico.
Do I really need to explain this?....I do?....Well Ok...
Hernan Cortez and five hundred Spanish conquistadors were able to conquer the Aztec empire becuase they brought guns, armor, horses, dogs, and thousands of pissed off tribal warriors.
Everyone else in the region hated the Aztecs. Afterall, ritual human sacrifice tends to be off putting.
Coming next in great apologies:
-Germans demand Allies apologize for bombing...
-Vatican withdraws envoy after Judas apology row...
-Trump threatens Canada with invasion over refusal to apologize for sacking of Washington, burning of White House.
-State of Georgia demands US Army apologize for Sherman's March.
Oh, fuck off, Obrador.
