AMLO Tells Joe Biden and Samantha Power to Knock It Off, Stop Interfering in Mexico and Trying to Create Instability



If you understand what Samantha Power does via her role in using USAID as the mechanism to advance the color revolutions around the globe, these remarks from Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez-Obrador are subtle like a brick through a window.

Power has recently been trying to create political turmoil in Hungary [HERE] and Georgia [HERE].

However, after AMLO delivered a speech where he called out Joe Biden, the DEA and the CIA for trying to interfere in Mexico [HERE], many people reading here predicted Samantha Power would now show up in Mexico.

Those of you who made that prediction were correct. You guys are smart!

Keep in mind that nearly a million central American economic migrants can be unleashed by AMLO, and likely will be, as Joe Biden and the Mexican president have faced off for almost two years over North American energy policy. Stunningly, AMLO has not backed down an inch, and instead went on the offensive against Joe Biden and Justin Trudeau. This put a target on his back and was likely the impetus for U.S. intelligence agencies to call upon Samantha Power to do her thing.

MEXICO CITY, May 3 (Reuters) – Mexico’s president asked his U.S. counterpart Joe Biden to stop the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) from funding groups hostile to his government, according to a letter presented to journalists on Wednesday, echoing previous Mexican criticism of U.S. interventionism.

President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador did not specify which Mexican groups the U.S. should stop funding, but he has in the past accused several media organizations of being part of a conservative movement against his government.


CTH will keep repeating the words, WATCH MEXICO. Ever since Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez-Obrador confronted Joe Biden in the oval office about energy policy, things have increasingly escalated.

Remember, Mexico did not join the Build Back Better suicide mission, or the sanctions against Russia.

Biden and her granddaughter Finnegan Biden wore coordinated yellow and blue dresses to the coronation ceremony, representing the flag of Ukraine. The move was viewed as a sign of solidarity with the Eastern European country, which for more than a year has been fighting off an invasion from Russia.

The Biden administration, like many other world leaders, has supported Ukraine, supplying the war-torn country with billions of dollars in weaponry and condemning Russian President Vladimir Putin over the conflict, which they say was unprovoked.

Chatter on Twitter ensued about Biden's look at the historic coronation, with the first lady receiving praise and criticisms over the decision to show support for Ukraine.

Right-wing critics of the Biden administration condemned the look, saying that the first lady should have instead worn colors representing the United States.

"Jill Biden was disrespectful to the United States and her office of First Lady by wearing the colors of the Ukraine flag with her granddaughter instead of representing our flag and our nation," tweeted Jenna Ellis, an ex-attorney for former President Donald Trump. "First Lady Melania would have been pure elegance and patriotism."

In a separate tweet, Ellis wrote, "America's First Lady represents Ukraine instead of America while in the UK. The Democrats hate America."

“Well, I don’t think people — by the way, every major one that won re-election their polling numbers were where mine are now,” Biden falsely claimed.

According to Ipsos/Reuters polling, President Joe Biden’s approval rating is 39% and his disapproval rating is 54%. As Gallup polling pointed out in a 2020 article, “Historically, all incumbents with an approval rating of 50% or higher have won reelection, and presidents with approval ratings much lower than 50% have lost.”

“Polling aside, then,” Ruhle interjected. “Sentiment in this country, despite all these wins, is not very good.”

“All they’ve heard is negative news for three years,” Biden replied. “Everything is negative. I’m not being critical of the press. You turn on the television, the only way you’re going to get a hit is if it’s something negative.”

According to Pew Research, Joe Biden has received the least negative coverage of any modern president, despite presiding over record inflation, gas price increases, an ongoing border crisis, disastrous Afghan War withdrawal, unconstitutional proxy wars, and a burgeoning economic recession.

Before the U.S. Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, Haaland told Sen. Josh Hawley, “Senator, I know that there’s like 1.9 jobs for every American in the country right now. So, I know there’s a lot of jobs,” which was her explanation for canceling cobalt mining permits for Twin Metals Minnesota, an underground mine proposed for the northeastern part of the state. America won’t need those jobs, she was saying.

Let’s unpack the Haaland job fantasy.

First, the secretary doesn’t get the jobs numbers even close to correct. There are not 1.9 jobs for every American. That would be an absurd level of available jobs, along the order of 629 million open positions.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports there are 9.6 million job openings and roughly 6 million unemployed people in America.

The job openings rate was 5.8 percent in March, down by 1 percentage point since December, according to the bureau.

Sen. Hawley wasn’t buying what Haaland was selling. During the past 20 years, Hawley responded, over 3 million jobs have been lost to China, and they are coming from blue-collar towns across America. “And you’re telling me we have too many jobs in this country. Are you serious?”

Facts, stubborn as they are, are not the secretary’s strong suit.

Nelson replied to the email with a list of questions about what he dubbed the White House's "mysterious prescreening program" that was implemented to curate which reporters can attend presidential events, pressing whether access is denied based on their coverage of the Biden administration. The White House did not respond to Nelson's inquiry.

While the White House did not indicate there were space limitations when rejecting Nelson's credentials, he did obtain a photo from Daily Caller's White House correspondent Diana Giebova, which showed empty seats at Monday's event, reporting "There were about 20 empty press seats" in total.

Biden’s pretty dumb political farce raises numerous unintentionally hilarious questions:

Where exactly would one plug in a Jeep, truck, tank, or armored personnel carrier in a blistering desert or steamy jungle?

If such charging stations existed, wouldn’t the enemy neutralize them, to hobble US armed forces?

If American GIs discovered functioning charging stations, would they halt their advance for, say, 30 to 45 minutes to recharge – at least once or twice daily?

Would US soldiers bring travel adapters to plug their EVs into overseas charging stations?

“Imagine going to war, you’re in an all-electric Humvee, your batteries are low, and it’s time for a charge, but you’re behind enemy lines,” one Louisianan hypothesized via Twitter. “You pull up to the nearest charging station controlled by the enemy. They let you charge before starting battle. The war continues.”

How would the Allied march from D-Day to Berlin have looked if George S. Patton, Maxwell Taylor, Bernard Law Montgomery, and other commanders had relied on electric vehicles? Would Adolf Hitler have left charging stations conveniently connected to the grid and ready for the Third Army to refresh their Sherman tanks en route to the Battle of the Bulge? Or, more likely, would der Führer have ordered SS saboteurs to dynamite every one of those damn things as the Nazis retreated, from Burgundy to Bastogne?

Alternatively, Patton and his men could have hauled mobile, solar-powered charging stations, so tanks and other vehicles could boost their voltage while dodging incoming Wehrmacht artillery.

Will anyone do a report on how many more people are working 2 & 3 jobs now because of inflation, high interest rates and covid free money ending. Do they not think people taking jobs are really extra ones to stay ahead of what's going on.

“We Cut the Deficit by $160 Billion Dollars! Billion! B-I-L-L-I-O-N!” – Joe Biden Lashes Out at Reporter Asking Him About Budget Cuts





Biden repeated one of his favorite lies: “In my first two years, I reduced the debt by $1.7 trillion.”

This is a lie.

Biden briefly thought he was back in the senate and said he’s “not gonna vote” and “not gonna pass” McCarthy’s budget bill.

He’s completely shot.

Then he pivoted and said he wouldn’t rule out unilateral action on the debt limit if Congress doesn’t bend to his demands: “I have been considering the 14th Amendment.”

A reporter asked Joe Biden a question about McCarthy’s statements to the press about his unwillingness to negotiate.

McCarthy said he asked Biden numerous times to tell him which spending cuts he would be open to.

“He wouldn’t give me any,” McCarthy said.

Biden lost his temper after a reporter asked him about McCarthy’s claims.

“You didn’t listen either, so why should I even answer the question? We cut the deficit by $160 billion! Billion! B-I-L-L-I-O-N!” Biden shouted.

Mr. Biden, writing in USA Today, said last year’s bipartisan bill to expand background checks for young people and red flag laws that remove guns from those who are a danger to themselves or others was just a good start, and he is exploring executive action to rein in firearms.

“My power is not absolute. Congress must act, including by banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, requiring gun owners to securely store their firearms, requiring background checks for all gun sales, and repealing gun manufacturers’ immunity from liability,” he wrote. “We also need more governors and state legislators to take these steps.”

Mr. Biden, who recently announced his reelection bid, took credit for past actions against gun violence even as he said more needs to be done.

He said the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which passed last year, is stiffening background checks on those 21 and younger and has stopped more than 160 firearms from getting into potentially dangerous hands, according to Justice Department data.

The bill got through Congress after a racially motivated mass shooting at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York, and a massacre in an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas.

Mr. Biden acknowledged that mass shootings continue to happen, such as one at a Texas shopping mall last weekend that killed eight people, including children.

I heard a little briefing he did before heading to Japan. Now he claims he's cut the deficit 1.6 trillion in 2 yrs and will cut it 3 trillion in the next decade. He took one question and left.

So I thought if his claim was right about what he did in 2 yrs, why is it going to take 10 to double up .?

He won't be around in 10 years. I would wager Mother Nature will take him in the next 4.

Joe Biden, the Habitual Racialist Demagogue



The most recent liberal ABC News/Washington Post poll showed President Joe Biden's approval rating at 36 percent - the lowest in history for a president at this point in his first term.

Biden's low popularity is no mystery.

He inherited energy independence, affordable gas prices, historically low interest rates, low inflation, calm overseas, a low crime rate, and a largely closed border with legal-only immigration.

And then Biden destroyed that inheritance.

He has begged illiberal foreign governments to pump oil he refuses to drill domestically for.

He spiked inflation at the highest rate in over 40 years.

Home interest rates have skyrocketed from less than 3% to 7%.

He nearly doubled the price of gasoline.

Biden Claims Credit for 'Quad' Alliance Trump Reinstated in 2017




During remarks on the sidelines of this week's G7 summit in Tokyo, Biden sought to take credit for an alliance called the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue — the "Quad" for short — but, much like Corn Pop and Biden's other colorful stories, he can't take credit.

Here's what Biden said about the Quad:

"What's going on now is, look at the meeting we had here today and yesterday of the Quad. I bet you, I would- maybe some of you thought it, but I doubt many people in this audience or any other audience would have said that two years after being elected I'd be able to convince India, Australia, Japan, and the United States to form an organization called the Quad to maintain stability in the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea."

But, as usual, Biden is wrong. He did not convince any of those countries to "form" the alliance. The Quad was first created after the late Shinzo Abe, then-Prime Minister of Japan, initiated an alliance with the prime ministers of India and Australia along with then-Vice President Dick Cheney in 2007. In 2008, Australia withdrew from the Quad, putting the group out of commission until 2017.

“Do you think that if there is a [debt ceiling] breach, nobody is going to blame you?” Peter Doocy asked Biden.

“Of course no one will blame me. I know you won’t. You’ll be saying Biden did a wonderful job!” Biden said. “On the merits, based on what I’ve offered, I would be blameless.”

It’s never Biden’s fault. Just ask Biden.

‘He Is An Embarrassment’: Joe Biden Was All Gaffes In Front of the World






On Sunday, the Republican National Committee (RNC) shared a video of the president struggling to get his words out as he spoke about the ongoing debt ceiling negotiations with Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

In the clip, the president seems to be making a point about the national debt, but finds himself on a tangent about global warming.

“And there’s a lot of other, for example, the idea that we’re, uh, in terms of taxes that they refuse to, for example, we uh, I was able to balance the budget and pass everything from the global warming bill, anyway, I was able to cut by 1.7 billion dollars in the first two years the deficit that we were accumulating,” the president said, going on to say something about businesses paying “zero in tax.”

“In all seriousness – what is Biden talking about?” the RNC Research Twitter account asked.

The RNC also shared a five-second-long video of the president getting the name of the South Korean president wrong.

“I’ve spoken at length with President Loon of South Korea,” the president said, referring to President Yoon Suk Yeol.

Video footage of the president almost falling down a set of stairs also hit international headlines. Britain’s Express newspaper published a story about the president suffering “another humiliating blow” as he rushed to meet the prime minister of Japan, only to stumble and nearly fall down a set of stairs.

How has Russia not smashed the Ukraine I assume she has the power to do so,why waste so much time and resources to keep fighting for pretty much nothing.
