[US11] In-migration to the United States hit a relative historical low in the 1970s—the decade in which America’s Boomers came of age. For Boomers—an overwhelmingly white demographic—their primary experience with interracial politics was the civil rights movement, a movement that involved people who were already here at a time when the Boomers were young and politically liberal.
In-migration then rose steadily until reaching a near-historical high (again, in relative terms) in the 2010s, at which point the Boomers were nearing retirement and in doing so becoming politically . . . stodgy. In each and every decade as the Boomers aged, the largest single immigrant group was always Mexican. In the minds of many Boomers, Mexicans have long been not simply the "other," but the "other" that has arrived in ever-larger numbers. A big reason why so many Boomers have been so supportive of nativist politicians such as Donald Trump is that their feelings of shock at the pace of change in American society is not a collective hallucination. It is firmly backed up by reality. This is one piece of the kaleidoscope of why American politics has turned so sharply insular in the 2010s and early 2020s.
But regardless of what you think about Boomers or Mexicans or race or trade or assimilation or borders, there are a couple of thoughts to keep in mind:
First, Mexicans are already in the United States. Whether you’re concerned with what American culture feels like or what the labor market looks like, the great Mexican wave has not only come, it is over. Net migration of Mexicans to the United States peaked in the early 2000s and it has been negative for twelve of the thirteen years since 2008. Just as industrialization and urbanization pushed down birth rates in the developed world, the same process has begun in Mexico, just a few decades later. Today’s Mexican demographic structure suggests it will never again be a net large-scale contributor to American migration. Most of the big migrant flows into the United States since 2014 have instead been from the near-failed Central American states of Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala.
Second, even among the most nativist strains of American political thinking, room has been found for Mexicans. In just two years, none other than Donald Trump went from openly condemning Mexican migrants as rapists and "bad hombres" to embracing Mexico in trade and security deals that took bilateral relations to their friendliest and most productive in the history of both republics. Part and parcel of Trump’s renegotiation of the NAFTA accords were clauses that expressly aim to bring manufacturing back to North America. Not to the United States specifically, but to any signatory of the accords. Team Trump added those clauses with Mexico expressly in mind.
On the other side of the equation, Mexican-Americans are turning nativist. The demographic in the United States that consistently polls the most anti-migration is not white Americans, but instead (non-first-generation) Mexican-Americans. They want family reunification, but only for their own families. Never forget that anti-migrant, build-the-wall Donald Trump carried nearly every county on the southern border when running for reelection in 2020.

I have an idea, encourage the illegals to keep on migrating north to northwest Canada to the Arctic ocean or western Alaska and boat their way to eastern Russian.
I heard that Russia is having a somewhat serious problem with (wo)manpower needed to operate their agriculture and industries.
I'm sure the Russians will welcome the migrants with open arms!
Republican senators released whistleblower documents on Wednesday
Chuck Grassley and Josh Hawley said it showed the DHS disinformation governance board planned to work with Twitter to take down content
And a whistleblower told them Nina Jankowicz was picked to lead the unit because of her close ties to the social media platform
'DHS should not in any way seek to enlist the private sector to curb or silence opposing viewpoints,' said the senators in a letter seeking more details

[Breitbart] Black Americans may need to "flee the country" in the face of an apparently growing population of "crazy White people" who are "not to be trifled with," according to a recent Washington Post piece.
In an essay published in the Post on Tuesday titled, "Why Black people are afraid of ’crazy’ White people," columnist and associate editor Jonathan Capehart begins by letting readers in on a "little secret" — "black people" don’t fear typical white people, but rather "crazy" ones.
"Things felt so dicey during the Trump years, I half-joked that my husband and I might have to reenact that scene from ’The Sound of Music’ and flee the country," he said. "My husband and I". So gay and black. Very Smolletey. "This is MAGA Country!"
"Now, an alarming new report from the Southern Poverty Law Center [SPLC] shows that my ’Operation von Trapp’ might need to go live," he added. "The ranks of ’crazy’ White people appear to be growing — and the rest of us don’t know what to do about it."

Sounds great! When do they leave?
Of course it's going to be a big shock when they get there and find out there's no welfare, no food stamps, and everyone's black so shouting "racism" doesn't work. Then they discover the horrifying truth about how countries run entirely by blacks work and run home. They then still blame racism.

Given the Radical never happy BLM'ers we have.
How about a free ticket to Africa and $25,000 in relocation funds. With the contracted understanding, they are forbidden from ever returning to the USA.
$25K would be a saving a 100 times fold compared to what each BLM causes in related costs.
Then they can get back to their "roots", and mix it up with some real Slave Trading Cannibals.

There you go - 'White Supremacy' in a nutshell. As you can see, it has f**k-all to do with skin color. It is all about habits, a culture if you will. There are no guarantees that if you do this you will be successful. But if you don't, you probably won't be.

"Damn, if we'd have known it was going to be this much trouble, we'd have picked the cotton ourselves"
Like it could get worse.
[Breitbart] Colombia’s potential next president, leftist ex-guerrilla member Gustavo Petro, has stated that he considers sugar a more dangerous substance than cocaine and proposed policy changes in Colombia’s longstanding war against drugs that could result in a global drug trafficking boom.
Petro, a former M19 Marxist guerrilla member, emerged victorious in the first round of Colombia’s 2022 presidential election last month. He will face off against outsider businessman Rodolfo Hernández in a runoff election for the Colombian presidency on June 19. While polls projected Petro to comfortably win the first round, the latest polls show Hernández as the favorite to win the race, with 52 percent vote intention against Petro’s 44 percent.

I guess the CIA doesn't like outsiders stepping on their turf. They are the world's biggest drug traffickers.
Remember the crack cocaine epidemic of the 80s/90s? Yeah, that was the CIA raising funds for its secret wars overseas. No, it's not a conspiracy theory. Yes, the CIA really is this evil. What are you going to do about it?
I’ll continue not using illegal drugs. If we don’t buy the stuff, they — the CIA, if they are, the narco gangs, the jihadis, the capitalist Communists, all of them very bad people — won’t make money. But this has been known for decades, so anyone who partakes knows what they are funding.
What are you doing about it, Pholing Crererong6639?
Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets
[Chernovec] "Fired from the Gestapo for cruelty" (even Ukrainian propaganda could not stand her excessive lies) ex-ombudsman Lyudmila Denisova tried to justify herself for her lie
"When I spoke in the Italian Parliament at the International Affairs Committee, I heard and saw such fatigue from Ukraine, do you understand? I talked about terrible things in order to somehow push them, to make decisions that Ukraine and the Ukrainian people need," Denisova said.
This explains the exponential brutality of each such fictional case and the lack of any specific information. Let me remind you that NOT A SINGLE report of rape has been confirmed by facts.
But in the case of Denisova, it is still clearly something with her head. To come up with such a detail, one must be a pervert and a deeply unhealthy person. Such inventions cannot get into a normal healthy head, it simply cannot be invented and not told to an adequate person.
For this she was fired, I quote the wording: "incomprehensible concentration on the numerous details of sexual crimes and rape of children in the occupied territories, which could not be confirmed by evidence." And the ladies in white shorts with red spots in Europe tried so hard ...
Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets
[Chernovec] Already looking forward to the front pages of tomorrow's British newspapers
The court of the DPR sentenced foreign mercenaries who fought against the Donbass and the Russian Federation to death.
No one will shoot them yet. Until 2025, a temporary moratorium on the execution of death sentences has been imposed in the DNR. Although, if necessary, it will be quickly canceled.
The day before, Deputy Prime Minister of Great Britain Dominic Raab said that the government of the country intends to file a protest in connection with the criminal case against Aslin. "You can only file a protest in the court of the republic.
De jure, this means recognition of the DPR. Let them file.
The mercenaries sentenced to death, they can also appeal the decision of the DPR court within a month and ask for pardon. If the head of the DPR pardons the convicts, the death penalty can be commuted to life or 25 years in prison.

The Narrative has flipped. Ukraine is getting pulverized.
Here's the new Narrative from Britain's Ministry of Defence and MI6, as mouthed by The Independent:
OUTGUNNED, DEMORALISED, DESERTING
"Ukraine forces outgunned up to 40 to one by Russian forces, intelligence report reveals... Exclusive: Grinding conflict in east is ‘seriously demoralising’ Ukrainian forces, dossier says.
UKRAINIANS ARE COMPLETELY OUTGUNNED
"A report by Ukrainian and Western intelligence officials also reveals that the Ukrainians are facing huge difficulties responding to Russians shelling with their artillery restricted to a range of 25 kilometres, while the enemy can strike from 12 times that distance.
UKRAINIAN MORALE IS COLLAPSING
"For the first time since the war began, there is now concern over desertion. The report, seen by The Independent, says the worsening situation in the Donbas, with up to a hundred soldiers being killed a day, is having “a seriously demoralising effect on Ukrainian forces as well as a very real material effect; cases of desertion are growing every week”.
UKRAINIAN NEGOTIATING POSITION IS WEAKENING
"At the same time, as the Russians capture territories in the east, and consolidate their control over the seized cities of Mariupol and Kherson, the bargaining position of the Ukrainian government is being weakened by acute disparity in the numbers of prisoners being held by each side.
"The total number of Russian soldiers being held by Ukraine has fallen to 550 from 900 in April after a series of exchanges. Moscow meanwhile has more than 5,600 Ukrainian troops in captivity, the figure enlarged by the surrender of 2,500, including members of the Azov Battalion, in Mariupol...."

Over at The Telegraph, a "leaked Ukrainian and Western intelligence report" confirms that "Ukraine’s soldiers face 200 daily casualties with desertion on the rise...Shortage of long-range missiles means depleted Ukrainian forces at risk of being fully encircled by Russian offensive in Donbas"
"Cases of desertion are growing every week in the Ukrainian army, according to a leaked intelligence report, as up to 200 of its outgunned soldiers are being killed every day in the eastern Donbas region.
OUTNUMBERED AND OUTGUNNED Kyiv’s troops are outnumbered 20 to one in artillery and 40 to one in ammunition by the Kremlin’s forces in the area, the leaked Ukrainian intelligence report reveals.
"Mykhailo Podolyak, a senior aide to the Ukrainian president, on Thursday said the battle over the war-torn country’s industrial heartlands was so intense that Kyiv is suffering up to 200 military casualties per day. The previous upper limit was given as 100 soldiers. Russia has managed to gain the upper hand in the Donbas because of its superior long-range weaponry.
"GIVE US MORE. NOW!"
Mr Podolyak said Ukraine’s armed forces need donations of hundreds of the most powerful artillery systems to compete with Moscow’s forces, not the handful being sent by Western governments.
"The intelligence dossier, drawn up by Ukrainian and Western officials, warns of the growing risk of demoralised Ukrainian soldiers going AWOL...."

And don't be such a whiny bitch. If you can make the case for prolonging this horror show, go for it. But you're on your own.
Everyone's getting ready to cut the Ukrainians loose. Biden's people have their loot and have moved on. Johnson's donevwith them. The French and Germans ignore the little puppet altogether and are talking directly to the Kremlin.
It's over, run along now. We have bigger things to worry about on the home front
Make your point without the name calling. The ice you are on is getting thinner.

The point is that Ukraine has obviously lost and the West's blame game has begun.
By suddenly putting out tons of catastrophic indicators, the British and American military and intelligence establishments are preparing the public for defeat. The sub-narrative of "outgunned" is designed to give the policymakers a convenient excuse for their failed, disastrous decisions.
Where all the billions actually went -- into whose pockets -- is of course not explained.

That's ironic coming from a Russian but, yes, we could use a bit more civility here.
Your claims of victory are understandable but perhaps a bit premature. Right now it looks like Russia has momentum but claiming victory before the fat lady sings could lead to embarrassment.

We lied to the Ukrainians -- poke the bear, try to snatch Crimea, and we'll back you all the way! -- and they've been lying to the world ever since. "Ghost of Kyiv," no Nazis here, fake war crimes, "evacuation" of Mariupol, taking back Severodonetsk... All of it bullshit.
The ridiculous lying about casualties was the tell.
Since the war shifted east, the Ukrainian never had fewer than 100 killed in a day. The detailed and precise Russian after action reports indicate that the real number is in the neighborhood of 400-600 killed per day. And then the bizarre NY Times story complaining about being "kept in the dark."
This is like the Iraq War, the Afghan War and the Vietnam War rolled into one shit sundae

Your claims of victory are understandable but perhaps a bit premature.
How can Ukraine be said to have won after they've lost 90% of their productive territory? They are 100% dependent now on US and EU subsidies.
They have next to nothing left -- next to no industry, no technology, no mining or O&G reserves. Literally all of the truly valuable and strategic provinces are gone -- for good.
And all of their wealth and territory, all of it, could have been preserved if Zelensky had not walked away from Minsk II.

They still have Biden. Shots are still being fired and nobody is talking about peace. Sverodonetsk is still in contention and the pincer has not yet closed. Don't get cocky, kid. Don't count your chickens before they're hatched.

This is the view of Ukrainian and Western intelligence
And if you can't believe Ukrainian and Western intelligence, who just up to last Wednesday or so were telling us the complete opposite, then who can you believe?
#21
This is the view of Ukrainian and Western intelligence.
As leaked, anonymously or not, to various members of the established news media in order to shape the perceptions of friends, foes, civilians, and political masters alike.
How I miss the good old days when intelligence agencies understood their job to be collecting information and keeping it in-house, to be shared only with their civilian masters qnd occasionally with the military.

Why the change?
1. Their bullshit no longer cons anyone
2. The collapse is certain now--time to shift blame
3. They've got their loot already and are washing their hands
4. Democrats & Deep state are done w Ukraine and have moved into ejection mode: it's all J6 / Trump / Abortion / Gun Violence until November
[Behind the black, HT Insty] Blacklists are back and the Democrats have got ’em: One day after President Joe Biden joked on television with Jimmy Kimmel about "sending [Republicans] to jail," the FBI arrested Ryan Kelley, one of the Republicans running for Michigan governor, on misdemeanor charges for daring to stand on the steps of the Capitol building on January 6, 2021, but never entering it.
Kelley is charged 17 months after the Jan. 6 riot and on the same day the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol is to hold a primetime hearing Thursday to present never-seen video, new audio and a mass of evidence following a year-long investigation by the select panel.
The criminal complaint obtained by Fox News Digital charged Kelley with: knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority; disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds; knowingly engaging in any act of physical violence against person or property in any restricted building or grounds; willfully injure or commit any depredation against any property of the United States. All are misdemeanor offenses. [emphasis mine]
The videos appear to show Kelley on the steps of the Capitol, encouraging the demonstrators, but do not show him entering the building ever, or doing any damage or committing any violence. In other words, he was there to express his first amendment rights "to petition the government for the redress of grievance," an action the Bill of Rights expressly forbids the federal government from interfering with in any way.
And even if Kelley had committed some minor misdemeanors, who ever heard of arresting someone for such charges, seventeen months after the fact?
This is a down-right totalitarian action by the Biden administration, using the FBI to arrest its political opponents not for any real crime but for daring to challenge the rule of Democrats — during an election campaign. Having discovered during the Trump administration that they could get away with spying on Republicans and drumming up false charges to politically smear them, the Democrats and its allies in the federal government have moved on to the next step, using those false charges to arrest their opponents.
Gird your loins. Things are not going to get better in the next five months. All polls show that the Democrats are going to be badly defeated in the November elections. These power-hungry thugs however cannot tolerate defeat, and are going to use every tool in their toolbox — now including police power and military force — to prevent it.
More arrests are coming. So will efforts to block the candidacy of any viable Republican candidates. So will efforts to falsify election results. It is now the goal of the Democratic Party — and its mindless minions like Jimmy Kimmel — to rule without opposition, for all time. They will stop at nothing to make sure that happens. Count on it.
I would also say that if I lived in Michigan, I would now consider Ryan Kelley my first choice for Michigan governor, hands down.

[ConservativeTreehouse] Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro wasn’t just throwing shade at the 2020 election outcome for Joe Biden, Bolsonaro seemingly ponders the question about how many western leaders might be the result of WEF manipulated elections. All things considered; it is a valid question.
Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro on Tuesday cast doubt on the 2020 election victory of U.S. President Joe Biden, just two days before they are due to meet for the first time during the Summit of the Americas.
Bolsonaro, an outspoken admirer of former President Donald Trump, said in a TV interview that he still harbors suspicions about Biden’s victory and he again praised Trump’s government.
In 2020, the Brazilian leader voiced allegations of U.S. election fraud as he backed Trump. Bolsonaro was also one of the last world leaders to recognize Biden’s win.
"The American people are the ones who talk about it (election fraud). I will not discuss the sovereignty of another country. But Trump was doing really well," Bolsonaro said. "We don’t want that to happen in Brazil," he added.
With the totalitarian comfort we have seen from multiple western governments’, in both scale and scope, it does make you wonder just how far they would be willing to go to retain power. After all, there are trillions at stake.
[Breitbart] The pro-baby-slaughtering protests, chanting, and screaming outside the homes of six Supreme Court justices violate federal law, and Joe Biden’s attorney general refuses to enforce that law.
Here it is in black and white: 18 U.S. Code § 1507 – Picketing or parading:
Whoever, with the intent of interfering with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of justice, or with the intent of influencing any judge, juror, witness, or court officer, in the discharge of his duty, pickets or parades in or near a building housing a court of the United States, or in or near a building or residence occupied or used by such judge, juror, witness, or court officer, or with such intent uses any sound-truck or similar device or resorts to any other demonstration in or near any such building or residence, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.
"Whoever, under color of any law, …willfully subjects any person…to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States [shall be guilty of a crime]."

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
