That is actually a good idea. The Mexican government isn't going to do anything about the cartels on its own. But who knows, maybe a neighbor launching cruise missile strikes on their illusionary sovereignty would inspire them.
In any case, a President willing to hit a drug lab is a President less likely to need to, at least after the first couple times to get the point across. You can't have the carrot without the stick.

Wanted to or asked about? "Donald Trump asked him in 2020 about launching missiles into Mexico to "destroy the drug labs" and kill cartels.. "
The more I dig, the more I see he was a Deep State 5th Column.
Note: This is the same ESPER that resigned 5 November 2020 hours before Trump was set to fire him for backstabbing his administration during the Election.
Note: How many $$ Millions did ESPER get to write his book and add in certain politically wanted items by the publisher?
Note: Esper described Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger as 'superheroes' for voting to impeach Trump.
Note: Since BIDEN'S Pentagon also restricted him from using unclassified materials in his book? Was this the same Info Trump declassified regarding the Russia Sham-Gate? that the DC Swamp still hides to avoid the public from knowing the Left attempted a political coup?

(1)Esper is a swamp dweller, so motivation is suspect.
(2)Considering how many drone strikes Obie dropped I would say, why not. Except when they droned targets, they frequently hit the wrong target. But that's actually a problem with intel, not the drone drivers, ain't it?

I bet Mexico will take Trump pretty seriously in his second term with a better Sec Def on staff.

The headline says it like it would be a bad thing? Given precision guided munitions, seems like a pretty clear message short of having to redo the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo 2.0 to prevent the rampant misconduct and corruption that lives off the proceeds of American prosperity, legal and illegal.
[HODHODYEMENNEWS] Media sources have revealed that Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... has demanded that the so-called Presidential Council, which was formed in April after the ousting of puppet president Abdrabbuh Hadi and is currently headed by Rashad al-Alimi, pays for Riyadh’s losses in its war on Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... , for a sum which reportedly amounts to $800 billion.
The sources confirmed that there was an old deal between Saudi Arabia and Hadi in which he signed a monthly commitment to pay back Saudi losses suffered in the war against Yemen.
"Saudi Arabia wants the al-Alimi Council to approve a debt of $800 billion owed by Yemen. According an official in the coalition-backed government, Hadi’s debt as of the end of 2021 amounted to $256 billion," said Anes Mansour, a consultant at the Yemeni embassy in Riyadh.
Mansour added in another tweet, that "during the 7 years of war, Yemen’s income from oil and gas went to the Saudi National Bank, and recently Rashad al-Alimi asked Saudi Arabia kindly to supply Yemeni income to the Central Bank of Yemen in Aden so that the government can meet its obligations, but Saudi Arabia refused!"
According to the coalition-backed government source, Saudi Arabia forced Hadi to grant investment contracts for Yemeni oil fields, including future exploration fields, for a period of 50 years.
The sources indicated that the al-Alimi Council renewed its commitment to all agreements signed by Hadi.

[KavkazUzel] A resident of Astrakhan is suspected of having published calls for terrorist activities on the social network, the FSB reported.
"The illegal activity of an Astrakhan resident has been stopped. It has been established that he posted in the open access of a social network (...) calls for terrorist activities against representatives of state authorities of the Russian Federation," the press service of the regional FSB reported today.
According to the department, the issue of initiating a criminal case against a resident of Astrakhan is being decided, Interfax writes.
The " Caucasian Knot " wrote earlier that in April a resident of the Rostov region was sent for compulsory treatment for posts on social networks. Psychological and linguistic expertise saw in them calls for a violent change of power and a change in the foundations of the constitutional order of the Russian Federation.
[Townhall] A group targeting the homes of originalist Supreme Court ...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations... Justices are, according to their website, paying those who join the efforts in the form of stipends funded by an unknown source that is tied to radical leftist groups including the embattled Black Lives Matter organization.
Going by the name "Ruth Sent Us," a reference to late Supreme Court Just Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the group has been posting online looking for activists with various skills to target Justices at their homes. In a thread posted by Carrie Severino, the organization is seen seeking individuals to participate in "peaceful protests" outside the homes of current Supreme Court Justices who — according to POLITICO's reporting of the leaked draft opinion — joined Justice Alito in overturning Roe v. Wade.
The Ruth Sent Us website also asks, "Are you a muralist or chalk artist? Are you a graphic designer who would like to contribute remotely?" apparently seeking artists for "large-scale art" that will be "included in the protests against the Supreme Court."
"Stipends available," the appeal notes.
But who is standing up this organization or funding its stipends and other activities — and what are the group's intentions when it comes to "large-scale" efforts to protest the Supreme Court?
As Severino explains, the Ruth Sent Us website "links to a different organization, 'Strike for Choice,' which shows connections to groups including Black Lives Matter, Code Pink ... a U.S. anti-war group. The group describes itself as a women-initiated grassroots peace and social justice movement working to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, stop new wars, and redirect our resources into healthcare, education, green jobs and other life-affirming activities. It was founded in 2002 by Jodie Evans, Medea Benjamin and of the other usual antiwar suspects. Its website lists hysterical allegations of US war crimes, and states that thousands of civilians were killed in Fallujah in 2004. Maybe it was millions. Benjamin was a 2000 candidate for the U.S. Senate on the Green Party ticket. She lost... , Women's March SF, Kavanaugh Off Our Court, and Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights."
The obvious connection is made by Severino in subsequent tweets noting that while Ruth Sent Us asks for "peaceful protest" outside of originalist Justices' homes, the organization's ties call their commitment to peaceful expression into question.
"Is that like the 'mostly peaceful' protests burning down cities across the country during BLM, which appears to be connected with this group?" Severino asked before outlining the past plans and activities of the other groups connected to Ruth Sent Us.
"The parallels between this planned protest and the disgusting antics we saw from left-wing dark money groups during the Kavanaugh confirmation are striking," Severino noted.
As Townhall reported previously, Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) introduced a bill to ramp up security for Supreme Court Justices and their families while giving Supreme Court Police added authority to protect Justices, a piece of legislation that's already landed bipartisan support from Senator Chris Coons ...Dem Junior Senator from Delaware since 2010. He won a special election to succeed Ted Kaufman, who had been appointed to the seat when Joe Biden resigned to become Vice President. Previously, Coons was the county executive of New Castle County. Raised in Hockessin, Delaware, Coons was a frat boy at the Amherst College liberal mill. He received graduate degrees from Yale Divinity School and Yale Law School.... (D-DE).

Aren't there laws about threatening judges to influence the outcome of a trial?
Isn't it time to start using them?

Never forget that Code Pink took supplies and cash to al'Qaeda in Iraq while US forces were in combat with them. They used a letter of introduction from multiple Congresscritters so Assad would give them passage across Syria. They are traitors, and should have hanged years ago.

The justices should hire Blackwater to do their security. A few mag dumps into the 'protesters' (Terrorists) will demonstrate that maybe they should stay in their cozy little meth dens.
#11
I know who profits, but my point is if it looks like the left is killing off Justices to appoint their own, that's not going to go over well with people and the stupidity might reach epic levels. At this rate, there will be a point for some on the normal human scale that are pushed to retaliate and I suspect it won't be an idiot shooting up a baseball game.

^ The Left is not playing to popularity. Their behavior demonstrates they no longer fear the electorate - as if they already know they will win all future "elections" and have no need to appeal to voters.

Somewhere in this is a criminal conspiracy to abet criminal trespass or judicial intimidation. I'm sure the DoJ/FBI is all over it!

[IsraelTimes] 16 Democrats vote in favor of symbolic measure demanding more restrictions against Iran, keeping Revolutionary Guard Corps on terror list
The US Senate on Wednesday passed a non-binding motion demanding that any nuclear agreement reached with Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites.... also address the Islamic Theocratic Republic’s ballistic missile program and support for proxies in the region.

We have matched their level of nonchalance. I don’t think that the Iranians fully understand that they will not see another president like Obama or Biden for at least two decades.

[Dawn] Counterterrorism and border security are the two areas where the United States wants to continue to work with Pakistain, says the US State Department.
Responding to a question about restoring US security assistance to Pakistain, the department’s spokesperson Ned Price said at a Wednesday news briefing that Washington wanted to continue its cooperation with Islamabad in some areas.
"We value our bilateral relationship. We want to continue to work together in areas where we do have mutual interests with our Pak partners," he said. "That includes counterterrorism. That includes border security as well."
Commenting on the observation that the situation in Afghanistan had increased terrorist attacks in Pakistain as well, Mr Price mentioned last month’s attack at Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... University that killed three Chinese and a Pak.
"Well, at the time, we strongly condemned the terrorist attack against Karachi University," he said. "We reiterate that condemnation today."
Mr Price said that a terrorist attack anywhere was an affront to humanity everywhere, "but for a terrorist attack to take place at a university, or at a religious site ... — that is a true affront to mankind".
Another journalist reminded him that the US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) recently recommended adding India to a list of regular violators and asked if that recommendation would be implemented.
"USCIRF is an independent commission. It’s not a governmental entity. It does provide recommendations and guidance to the US government," Mr Price responded. "It is something that we look at closely as we evaluate conditions of religious freedom or lack thereof around the world."

I think the concept they are looking for is the turnstile where militants can go off and make mayhem but not come back. Maybe they can create something like the pill they injected into Snake Pliskin without the antidote part.

[Naharnet] Israeli police entered a flashpoint holy site in Jerusalem to clear away Paleostinian protesters on Thursday, after Jewish visits that had been paused for the Moslem holidays resumed.
Ramadan is over. Back to normal for all, thank goodness.
Recent weeks have seen several rounds of festivities at the al-Aqsa Mosque compound, the third holiest site for Moslems, which is built on a hilltop that is the holiest site for Jews, who refer to it as the Temple Mount. It lies at the emotional heart of the Israeli-Paleostinian conflict.
As the visits resumed, dozens of Paleostinians gathered, chanting "God is greatest."
That’d be the outlawed Murabitun, a joint project of the Islamic Movement - Northern Branch (the militant arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in Israel) and Hamas (the Muslim Brotherhood in the Palestinian Territories). They are mostly masked yoots paid to camp out in the Al Aqsa mosque in shifts, gathering stones and other objects to hurl at the Israeli police and Jewish visitors to the Temple Mound while shouting “Allahu Akhbar, etc” to remind them who is the true beloved of Allah...
Scuffles broke out when the police went to arrest one of them. Police fired rubber-coated bullets on the sprawling esplanade as some Paleostinians sheltered inside the mosque itself. The police could later be seen just inside an entrance to the mosque.
The police said they responded to dozens of people who were shouting incitement and throwing stones, and that one police officer was lightly injured.
But unlike in previous confrontations, Paleostinian witnesses said there was no sign of rock-throwing initially. Some of those who sheltered inside the mosque began throwing stones when police started to enter the building. The witnesses spoke on condition of anonymity because of security concerns.
Under informal arrangements known as the status quo, Jews are allowed to visit the site but not pray there. In recent years, they have visited in ever-increasing numbers with police escorts and many have discreetly prayed, angering the Paleostinians as well as neighboring Jordan, which is the custodian of the site. The Paleostinians have long feared that Israel plans to eventually take over the site or partition it.
Israel says it is committed to maintaining the status quo, and accuses the Islamic murderous Moslem group Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, of inciting the recent violence.
The visits, by mostly nationalist and religious Jews, resumed Thursday after being paused for the last 10 days of the Moslem holy month of Ramadan and the Eid al-Fitr holiday.
Thursday is also Israel's Independence Day, and in recent days fringe groups had called on Jewish worshippers to celebrate by waving Israeli flags at the holy site. The calls were widely circulated by Paleostinians on social media, along with calls to confront any such display.
