The 'Planet war of words' continue to create confusion and chaos. No good can come from such distraction.

 

Mexico supports a terror state

By Joseph Puder www.americanthinker.com

Under normal circumstances, Mexico’s official recognition of the State of Palestine last week could be considered fair.  However, we are not dealing with normal circumstances, as there is no Palestinian state currently in existence.  Perhaps this move by Mexico is intended to fall in line with other Latin American states or to counter U.S. president Donald Trump’s pro-Israel stance, or possibly it is “payback” for Washington’s tariffs.  Whatever the reason is, this move is not only a reversal of Mexico’s position, but a clear misnomer.

In its declaration of solidarity with the Palestinian Arabs, the Mexican Foreign Ministry stated its commitment to “a two-state solution as the only viable path toward peace between Israel and Palestine.”  Yet no Mexican official bothered to ask the question, “What if the state is another radical, dictatorial, terrorist state?  Could Mexico live with a terrorist state that would be a stone’s throw away from its population centers — especially after a massacre like that of October 7?

The P.A. is a dysfunctional entity that encourages terror against Israel by employing a scheme known as “Pay to Slay.”  That is, payments are made to the families of those Palestinian Arab killers who murder Israelis and who have been caught and imprisoned by Israel.  Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah movement, which he presides over in addition to the P.A., has been involved in terror attacks against Israel for nearly six decades, killing Israeli civilians and soldiers.  Abbas never condemned the brutal murder of Israelis on October 7, and his and his regime’s ideology differs little from that of Hamas.

Mexico’s foreign minister, Alicia Bárcena, said, “This recognition reflects Mexico’s consistent position in favor of peace, justice, and international law. We believe that the recognition of Palestine contributes to a more balanced and fair negotiation framework in the Middle East.”  I wonder what makes Alicia Bárcena believe that recognition of Palestine will contribute to a more balanced and fair negotiation framework.  In 2008, Mahmoud Abbas had the perfect opportunity to assert Palestinian self-determination and statehood when Israel’s then–prime minister, Ehud Olmert, made far-reaching concessions to the Palestinian Arabs.  Abbas refused to pronounce an end to the conflict, nor would he consent to making peace with Israel as a price for statehood.  Undoubtedly, he feared assassination by his own people. 

In September 2015, Abbas shined new light on the breakdown of the potentially history-altering round of 2008 peace talks, saying that he rejected an offer from Israel’s Ehud Olmert — which included placing Jerusalem’s Old City under international control — because he was not allowed to study the map.  In fact, Olmert did show him the map, and Abbas simply made it his excuse.  Abbas has since regretted bolting the negotiations.  He unquestionably realized that unless he was able to extract from Israel an agreement on the return of those “refugees” who had fled during Israel’s War of Independence, a step that would simply end the existence of the Jewish state, he would be doomed.

What the Mexican government, along with other Latin American and some European countries who have recognized a Palestinian state, do not realize is that the insistence on the return of Palestinian Arab “refugees” to Israel is a ploy to end Israel’s existence and contravene the legitimate and recognized right of self-determination for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland.  Israel clearly understands their objective.  The P.A. and Hamas will never agree to an end of conflict compromise or make peace deal unless their condition of “the right of return” is realized.  Additionally, and often overlooked, is the Islamic religious obligation to restore any land once conquered by Islam (as was done by the caliphs of the 7th century) to the bosom of the Islamic umma (nation).

The Israeli Embassy in Mexico expressed “deep disappointment” over the decision, claiming that it would hinder peace efforts and encourage unilateral actions.  Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned Mexico’s ambassador for clarification and expressed hope that Mexico would reconsider its position.  That was the genteel diplomatic reaction.  How do you explain the Arab-Muslim mindset to non–Middle Easterners, such as the Mexican government, that according to Islam, there is a religious imperative to retrieve any land that was once conquered by Muslim invaders (including Spain)?  Or that the Palestinian Arabs do not believe that Israel has the right to exist, nor that the Jews have the right to self- determination?

Mexico’s decision not only is misguided, but also supports dangerous forces that would lead to a terror state.  Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico’s president, who was born Jewish, has expressed support for the creation of a Palestinian state inside Israel’s borders.  On June 1, 2025, Mexico stands to elevate the Palestinian mission in Mexico City to an embassy. 

The U.S. and key European Union countries have abandoned the two-state solution in the aftermath of Palestinian Arab actions and behavior.  Mexico’s recognition of “Palestine” and its rhetoric about “balanced and fair negotiation,” and a two-state solution, will only encourage Palestinian Arab unilateralism, intransigence, and deadly terror.

No Evidence Aired in the Media? No Duty. No Apologies.

By Charlton Allen www.americanthinker.com

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is not a sympathetic poster child by any reasonable standard. But the media’s sudden outrage over his deportation reveals more about its cynicism than any concern for due process.

Garcia, a Salvadoran national deported last month and now detained in El Salvador’s terrorism confinement center—CECOT—is being recast by CNN and its ideological allies as a victim of Trump-era cruelty. The media minders tell us he is a Maryland husband, a devoted father, and a community fixture.

Omitted from the headlines? Federal authorities have alleged links between Garcia and MS-13—the brutal cartel infamous for machete murders, child trafficking, prostitution, and transnational violence.

That’s not a minor footnote. Yet CNN, in its April 1 report, seems far more concerned that the Trump administration refused to provide evidence to the press than with the possibility that a violent gang member was living comfortably in suburban Maryland. 

Their indignation boils down to this: the Trump administration didn’t send over a dossier of classified intelligence and investigation reports for CNN’s legal analyst to comb through on live TV—then dismiss as woefully insufficient, no matter how comprehensive it is.

And CNN is not alone in inserting this refrain into the teleprompter or the story. It’s become an incessant chorus across the legacy media whenever Trump-era immigration enforcement is discussed: No matter the threat, we demand the receipts.

Let’s be blunt: the Trump administration owes the press absolutely nothing when it comes to intelligence sharing or the factual underpinnings of enforcement actions—especially when ongoing investigations or extradition procedures are involved. I’ll say it again for the folks in the back of the room: not one thing.

This is a fundamental principle of law enforcement. No administration—Republican or Democrat—should be expected to lay out its hand for editorial boards before taking national security actions, particularly when that action involves a suspected member of a recognized terrorist group.

When it’s required, the presentation of evidence occurs before the appropriate channels in our immigration system—not in a press release or press conference. To do otherwise would be reckless, if not criminally negligent.

But the demand for “evidence” isn’t really about transparency. It’s a contemptuous political ritual—a means of discrediting any enforcement action taken against someone who checks the right ideological boxes. Illegal immigrant. Protected identity group. Claims a family connection. That’s the trifecta. The narrative writes itself: How could a man with a wife and a disabled child possibly be aligned with a terrorist group?

Apparently, the media would have us believe that gangbangers are celibate eremites—eunuchs who never marry, never father children, and certainly never exploit family ties as cover. The story writes itself, facts be damned. Sub out “gang affiliation” and sub in “alignment with Hamas,” and you have Mahmoud Khalil.

And by painting with such broad strokes, the media shamelessly attempts to impugn all immigration enforcement actions—turning every lawful removal into an act of unimaginable cruelty.

Now, contrast this with how the press treated Joe Biden. For years, concerns over Biden’s cognitive misfires—public lapses, verbal confusion, and blank stares—were dismissed as harmless quirks. 

Instead, the ever-loyal legacy media parroted the insider narrative that President Biden was sharper than ever and ran circles around his staff. Where were CNN’s insistent demands for complete neurological workups? For unredacted health records? For a public accounting before he stepped into high-stakes diplomacy or nuclear command authority?

They didn’t come, and they weren’t going to. When the narrative favors the left, evidence is an afterthought.

The deeper issue here isn’t the individual case of Kilmar Garcia, though one hopes justice is done—and despite the hue and cry from the media outrage machine, it may already have been. The media believe that access equals authority.

In their view, no action is legitimate unless it’s first greenlit by the opinion desks at CNN, The Atlantic, and The New York Times. When the Biden administration bungled immigration entirely, it was framed as a “complex humanitarian challenge.” When Trump undertakes swift and certain action, it’s a national scandal—unless he declassifies sealed intelligence files for Anderson Cooper.

And make no mistake about it: had the evidence been shared discreetly—say, over an encrypted platform like Signal—the media would be triggered by that too.

The real objection here isn’t about secrecy or transparency. At its core, this outcry is about a restoration of national sovereignty, exercised by the wrong president.

If Garcia is even plausibly connected to the MS-13 world, then federal agents acted not with cruelty—but with vigilance.

This situation should not become a conversation about political optics or a Upton Sinclair–style muckraking tome about how the system grinds down a hardworking family man caught in some overly broad immigration dragnet. It was about preventing another American tragedy—one of the many committed by the thousands of dangerous gang members allowed into our nation willy-nilly by the prior administration.

To the media, that may not matter. But it matters greatly to voters and law enforcement officers tasked with protecting their communities. Simply put, this administration has no duty to spoon-feed “evidence” to hostile networks who will reject it anyway. 

No evidence aired in the media? No duty. No apologies.

 

This post is another perfect example of the horrific consequences American families suffer because of devastating immigration policies!

 

Cory Booker and an MS-13 Massacre

By Jack Cashill www.americanthinker.com

In his marathon 25-hour speech this week, it seems unlikely that a lachrymose Sen. Cory Booker gave even a passing thought to the mothers of Dashon Harvey, Terrence Aeriel, Natasha Aeriel, and Iofemi Hightower.  If he had, he would not have dared ask America to “think about” the wife and child of an MS-13 gangster shipped off to El Salvador.

Booker knows who these mothers are.  I am sure he met them.  He was mayor of Newark, N.J. when their children were sexually assaulted and/or murdered in a Newark playground by a gang of illegal aliens.  I know about these murders only because I grew up in Newark and follow its news.

Although the largest city in one of America’s most populous states, Newark makes the news only when the gatekeepers of New York’s newsrooms decide it should.  And on the night of August 4, 2007, no one wanted to greenlight the story coming out of Newark.

On that steamy evening, Jose Carranza, 28 at the time, and five of his homies were drinking and smoking marijuana in a Newark schoolyard.  There they spied four young black students, two of them female, talking and playing music, and judged them easy prey.

These were not members of a rival gang.  Far from it.  Dashon Harvey, 20, was entering his junior year at Delaware State University.  Terrence Aeriel, 18, was to begin at Delaware State the following month.  Natasha Aeriel, then 19, also attended Delaware State.  Iofemi Hightower, 20, was holding down two jobs while she saved to attend college.

“Itz tym 2 go,” an anxious Terrance Aeriel texted his sister Natasha from his perch on top of a playground apparatus.  He could see something the others could not.  Although he did not know that the six men and boys walking towards him were affiliated with the violent Central American gang MS-13, he sensed trouble.

Terrance and his three friends promptly headed to Natasha’s car, but it was too late.  The men surrounded them before they could drive away and at gunpoint forced them to the ground.

They separated Natasha from the others and began to molest her sexually.  “All I could keep doing was saying, ‘Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,’” Natasha would later testify.

One of the gang members put his knee in Natasha’s back and tickled her throat with a machete.  It was then that Natasha heard Carranza and his crew kill the three others, execution style, with gunshots to the back of the head.  Upon seeing her own blood, Natasha summoned the will to push off her attacker, who shot her and left her for dead.  She survived to identify the attackers.

Booker knows this story well.  Iofemi Hightower’s mother insisted that her daughter’s casket remain open to show the visible machete scars inflicted by her killers.  She had hoped Iofemi’s open casket would galvanize America the way Emmett Till’s did in 1955, but that never happened.

The media gatekeepers succeeded in keeping this story out of the national news for the simple reason that it served no useful political purpose.  Booker had been elected mayor of Newark just a year earlier, and he had national potential.  The business-friendly young mayor promised a rejuvenated Newark.  This incident flew in the face of that promise.

Six months before the playground massacre, Barack Obama announced his candidacy for president.  He launched his campaign in the shadow of the Old State Capitol in Springfield, where, said Obama, “Lincoln once called on a divided house to stand together.”  Like Obama, Lincoln promised to bridge racial divides, and the last thing the media wanted to provoke was a rift in his base between blacks and Hispanics.

Most dangerously, Jose Carranza had the potential to be the next Willie Horton for whichever candidate ended up owning the policies that had left him free to kill.  At the time of the murders, Carranza was out on bail.  He was awaiting trial in two separate cases, one the sexual assault of a five-year-old girl.

This would have been troubling enough had Carranza been a citizen or a legal resident, but he was neither.  Newark authorities knew he was in the country illegally, but they chose not to notify immigration officials of either arrest.  They never did.  Newark gloried in its status as a sanctuary city.  Still does.

“No one shall be deprived of life, liberty, and property without due process of the law,” said the deluded Booker with regard to the MS-13 gangsters shipped off to El Salvador.

Tell that to the moms, Spartacus.

 

The chaos at our southern border is now managable; thanks to the immigration policies implemented and enforced by the current Administration!

 

All quiet on the southern front: Border crisis is over after Trump policies enacted

Julio Rosas April 03, 2025 theblaze.com

'We are right now seeing an average of 50, the whole sector.'

EL PASO, Texas — Driving along the rugged paths on Mount Cristo Rey, you can see the many trails illegal aliens and smugglers took to get into the United States during the Biden-Harris administration. Border Patrol Agent Orlando Marrero-Rubio told Blaze Media that at that time, days were hectic as overstretched agents tried to keep up with the number of illegal crossings.

Today, agents in the Santa Teresa area of operation in the El Paso Sector are no longer encountering large groups of illegal immigrants giving themselves up and are hardly seeing attempted gotaways. The main reason, they say, is because agents are actually back to patrolling the border and are able to arrest the few people who are trying to sneak in.

It's a stunning reversal of what the region experienced during the Biden-Harris years. Everything from illegal aliens bum-rushing one of the ports of entry from the Mexican side to attacking U.S. National Guardsmen while storming the border to the streets lined with processed and released migrants due to lack of space, El Paso has been through the wringer.

The lack of illegal activity was of no surprise once President Donald Trump got back into the White House this year and re-enacted his policies that were undone by President Joe Biden. Trump's return was a day many in border towns were looking forward to, having been on the front lines of the years-long invasion.

"We were very busy in this area. ... We were averaging 2,500 to 2,700 apprehensions a day ... the whole sector. We are right now seeing an average of 50, the whole sector," Marrero-Rubio said as we stood near a camera unit on Cristo Rey.

'[Our] deployment reinforces protecting our nation's territorial integrity by providing critical detection and monitoring capabilities to support the border security operations.'

Marrero-Rubio said at this time in fiscal year 2024, which started in October 2023, the El Paso Sector already had around 120,000 apprehensions. So far, for this fiscal year 2025, the sector has apprehended only 36,000 illegal aliens. The bulk of the drop-off happened once Trump was in office.

There was concern that if the Trump administration canceled the CBP One app, which gave migrants an appointment to legally enter the United States, migrants would decide to cross the border illegally. That has not materialized. During the time Blaze Media was in El Paso, Border Patrol did not record any gotaways.

While we were driving down Mount Cristo Rey, a call came over the radio that one person was entering the U.S. from the other side of the mountain. Within minutes, agents apprehended the person. Such apprehensions were rare during the border crisis because agents were off the line "babysitting" the give-ups in the field or at the holding centers.

To ensure that Border Patrol has the equipment and personnel needed to secure the border, Trump has sent active-duty military units to the southern border. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has said that national security cannot exist without border security.

In El Paso, there are now two Stryker vehicles from the U.S. Army that are tasked with surveillance and reporting. More are expected to deploy in other parts of the sector.

"[Our] deployment reinforces protecting our nation's territorial integrity by providing critical detection and monitoring capabilities to support the border security operations," Lt. Col. Chad Campbell told reporters near one of the Stryker vehicles. "My battalion will fill critical gaps such as workforce, technology, and logistical support, ultimately allowing DHS and CBP to concentrate on their core mission: to secure our southern border."
