Mexico’s President Condemns Trump Indictment
Even the far-left president of Mexico thinks that the Trump indictment constitutes election interference.
During a news conference on Wednesday President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (who is known as AMLO) said that “Supposedly legal issues should not be used for electoral, political purposes. That’s why I don’t agree with what they are doing to ex-President Trump…It should be the people who decide.,” Reuters reported.
Social media responds to the Democrat hypocrisy on border security:
Under pressure from censorship-loving left-wing activists, one or more advertisers pulled their commercials from Tucker Carlson Tonight after the FNC host had the temerity to report on what was actually happening in Tijuana, Mexico, since the migrant caravan showed up there.
An MSNBC reporter on the scene contradicted the mainstream media narrative that Central American migrants are primarily women and children and were comprised of those seeking political asylum rather than economic benefits.
The media rolled out this same trope in promoting open-borders, mass-immigration policies in Europe.
Said fair-and-balanced reporter MSNBC Gadi Schwartz:
“You’re going to see a lot of families here, a lot of women and children, but the truth is the majority of the people that are part of this caravan … the majority of them are men…From what we’ve seen, the majority are actually men, and some of these men have not articulated that need for asylum. Instead, they have talked about going to the United States for a better life and to find work.”
Hopefully this reporter won’t be hauled into HR for straying from the liberal groupthink.
The echo chamber is also engaging in predictable faux outrage over border patrol agents using tear gas on mostly adult male migrants who were throwing rocks and bottles at them.
Yet another example of a quote attributed to playwright/filmmaker David Mamet who apparently opined that “In order to continue advancing their illogical arguments modern liberals have to pretend not to know things…”
The Democrat-media establishment seems to have forgotten that the Obama administration also used the same techniques at the border when necessary.
I'm certain that all of the media figures attacking @realDonaldTrump for using tear gas at the border publicly spoke out against Obama for doing the same when he was in office.
Our fair & balanced media would never engage in selective outrage. 🙄https://t.co/imOmDZ0kiy
The suspect in a dramatic gunfight with Arkansas cops was a beneficiary of the Obama-era DACA program according to a Washington Times report.
The traffic-stop shootout was recently featured on the “crime of the week” segment of Live PD.
The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy created by a 2012 Obama executive order postponed deportation for approximately 800,000 undocumented immigrants who entered the U.S. before age 16 and prior to June 2007 and granted them work permits renewable on a two-year basis along with certain government benefits. Most of the so-called Dreamers are now said to be in the mid-to-late-20s age range.
The Dreamer terminology evolved from the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act (i.e., the Dream Act) that never passed Congress and which prompted ex-President Obama to invoke an executive action.

From the Washington Times:
“The illegal immigrant whose shootout with an Arkansas sheriff’s deputy last week was caught on a dashboard cam and went viral was in the U.S. under the Obama-era DACA program, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Monday.
“[The suspect], 29, faces charges of terrorism and attempted capital murder after a shooting spree that saw him open fire at on police during two separate confrontations as he tried to escape a routine traffic stop last week, authorities said.
“[The suspect] had at least two previous arrests, officials said, including one misdemeanor charge in 2015 that brought him to ICE’s attention. But the Obama administration, which was in office at the time, concluded he wasn’t a danger, and declined to pursue deportation.
“ICE did not lodge a detainer against [the suspect] in 2015 as he is a DACA recipient and did not meet the threshold for enforcement under the DHS enforcement priorities in place at that time,” the agency told The Washington Times…
“Authorities arrested a spate of DACA recipients last year on charges of smuggling other illegal immigrants at the border. President Trump has proposed phasing out the DACA program, though several judges have halted that plan, saying he cut too many corners. The case is likely headed for the Supreme Court.”
Mary Ann Mendoza, Laura Wilkerson, and Agnes Gibboney spoke with FNC’s Martha McCallum about their meeting on Friday with President Trump at the White House with other Angel Moms and Dads and family members.
“Both appearances centered around the meaning of ‘real separation’ versus the manufactured media ‘crisis’ going on at the U.S.-Mexico border,” The Daily Caller explained in the context of the temporary separation of some minors and their illegal alien parents or others with whom they entered the U.S. on an undocumented basis.
Agnes Gibboney, a legal immigrant, had this to say.
“When my son was murdered I didn’t know for 11 years that the man that killed my son was an illegal alien [and] had an ICE hold. The media doesn’t report truthfully what the separation of families really is, but I would like to show everybody what real separation of families is. This is what separates my son and myself is a coffin and six feet of dirt. How is that for real separation of families?”
Said Mary Ann Mendoza:
“When you have a problem like what is happening at the border you can’t start at the end result and start placing blame. You have to go back to the origin of the problem. And that’s what the parents, the mothers letting their children go with these smugglers and the cartel bringing these children to our borders. That is where the anger needs to be directed. It should not be directed at the United States for upholding its laws, and quite frankly I’m happy that the United States was able to step in and save some of the children from the fate they were dealt, and who knows what was going to happen to them?”
We are gathered today to hear directly from the AMERICAN VICTIMS of ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. These are the American Citizens permanently separated from their loved ones b/c they were killed by criminal illegal aliens. These are the families the media ignores…https://t.co/ZjXESYAcjY
A crying little girl whose image was blasted all over the Internet as a symbol of the Trump (and Obama) administration’s harsh family separation policy was never separated from her mother at the southern border. They are currently detained together in McAllen, Tex, where the mom has applied for asylum.
“The moving photo was used by the liberal media and far left activists to pummel the Trump administration for its decision to start strictly enforcing immigration laws at the border,” Gateway Pundit explained.
But wait, there’s more.
From the Washington Post:
“But the girl’s father told The Washington Post on Thursday night that his child and her mother were not separated, and a U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman confirmed that the family was not separated while in the agency’s custody.”

The Daily Mail reports the mom left three children behind in Honduras and also was deported from the U.S. in July 2013 according to ICE. Reentry after deportation is a felony.
“[The husband] said that [his wife] set out on the 1,800-mile journey with the baby girl on June 3, at 6 am, and he has not heard from her since…He said he heard from friends that his wife paid $6,000 for a coyote – a term for someone who smuggles people across the border.”
Time nonetheless says that it’s our story, and we’re sticking to it.

Blue-check Twitter is apparently calling for ex-NBA star and coach Kevin McHale to be fired from his job as a TNT commentator after allegedly attending the Donald Trump rally in Duluth, Minn., last night.
Merely showing up to hear a president speak doesn’t necessarily mean that a person supports the entire POTUS agenda. Moreover, the controversy du jour that has enraged the social justice cohort — family separation at the border — was also in effect during the Obama administration with no outcry.
“Speculation that the man in the images is McHale was fueled by his wife Lynn McHale, who regularly posts pro-Trump updates on Twitter. And when Twitter users thought they had seen her husband at the Duluth rally, they descended on her account—which she then deleted,” Newsweek explained.

From Clay Travis’ Outkick the Coverage blog:
“It’s important to note that LeBron James attended a Hillary Clinton campaign event on the stage and not one person with any kind of audience in the country had any issue with that or even remotely suggested it should impact his job status. Because LeBron’s a citizen, just like you and me, and he has a right to his political opinions, just like you and me, even if we disagree. This is what reasonable adults used to think… all Kevin McHale did was attend a rally. He was just in the crowd. He didn’t speak or openly support Trump. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but he didn’t do it.) All McHale did was show up in the corner of a photograph of the rally.”
Greg Popovich, Steve Kerr, LeBron, all of them can rip Donald Trump publicly & no one says a word about their jobs. But Kevin McHale, in his own private life, can't even silently stand in the crowd at a Trump rally? The sports media has gone insane: https://t.co/fb6G9EB3Bx
A now-deleted tweet by Easy Rider actor Peter Fonda has been brought to the attention of the U.S. Secret Service.
Fonda, who seems very uneasy about the situation involving family separation at the southern border, took to social media early this morning to propose that Barron Trump, the young son of President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump, should be thrown in a cage with pedophiles.
From The Daily Caller:
“Spokesperson for the first lady Stephanie Grisham told The Daily Caller that the Secret Service has been ‘notified’ of the threat. ‘The tweet is sick and irresponsible and USSS has been notified,’ Grisham said.”
In the ongoing border controversy, Fonda has apparently also used his Twitter feed to disparage DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. He has also called for harassment of ICE agents and their children.
Trump derangement syndrome?
