The Secretary of Defense insisted that Mexico deal with collusion between their government and drug cartels or the US would take action.
The move ‘shocked and angered’ Mexican officials on the call, according to the Wall Street Journal.
However, on that same day, Hegseth admitted he had discussed the strategy with President Trump.
Trump is now threatening 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada that will go into effect on Tuesday.
Trump has demanded that Mexico strengthen its protocols regarding cartels, illegal immigration and fentanyl production. He has designated six Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations.
Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum said ‘we still have three days’ when asked how they were dealing with the tariff threat.
They attempted to appease Trump by extraditing 29 drug cartel members to the United States earlier this week.

Not to mention throwing Zelensky out of the White House :). That was a deep move, effectively sidelining Zelensky who will never get back into the game. The big players are Russia and USA. Trump and Putin. Europeans can squeal all they want, but backing Zelensky is a fool’s game, as is never admitting how much Europe/ NATO/ USAID provoked the war. That right there is the worst thing about Europe today. imo. ABN

Summary of Trump administration so far
The Trump administration has some serious people doing extraordinarily important work. The CIA team are doing something that few will ever fathom, and when the details surface they will hopefully get praise.
The State Dept team, obviously working closely with the CIA team, are likewise doing exceptional groundwork.
The DNI group (domestic IC) and DHS team are also laying the groundwork for major changes and confronting decades of institutional wrongdoing. Praise and appreciation is well warranted.
The econ team is first-in-class, and the emissaries are working the Economic Security and National Security dynamic. These enmesh with other operations and DJT/Lutnick are brilliantly coordinating a smooth outflow of positive global influence.
However, don’t expect the DOJ/FBI silos to be anything except a hot mess. They have all the support needed, but the silo heads have no idea how to get their “arms around” the problems. The DOJ/FBI reform agenda is going nowhere.
Celebrate all the success in the areas where serious people are operating strategically. But if you were looking for DOJ/FBI structural silo changes, that ain’t happening. Sorry, wrong leadership choice there.
Non-Trump faction players
Both appear to be Jewish and funded by Soros, who is Jewish. The vast majority of Jews vote Dem and do not support Trump. Jewish Supremists have worked assiduously and continuously to undermine USA and the West. This includes savage internecine violence in addition to payola politics and mind-control campaigns. All prominent Jews in the public sphere should be asked by interviewers if the are Jewish Supremists or if they support Jewish Supremacy. They should also be asked to disavow Jewish Supremacy if they claim not to be Jewish Supremists. This has been a common question asked of white males for many decades. ABN
57 Maine School Districts Hide Gender Transition Counseling From Parents
Nearly 30 percent of Maine’s government-run school districts will conceal children’s health information from parents as it relates to gender dysphoria or transgender treatments, often described by LGBTQ advocates as “gender affirming care.”
That number was derived from public records obtained under Maine’s Freedom of Access Act by Parents Defending Education and reported exclusively Wednesday by The Federalist.
“Maine is a state that has gone all in on gender ideology in K-12 schools,” Erika Sanzi, director of outreach for PDE, told The Federalist. “We see it in these policies to knowingly withhold information from parents about their own child’s gender identity at school and we see it in the governor’s insistence that males be allowed to participate and compete in girls’ sports. It’s all indefensible as well as wildly unpopular among voters, regardless of their political party.”

‘If we do not speak up, who will’? — Maine Rep. Laurel Libby
Censured because she disagrees with their nonsense. The left is absurd and tends to become dictatorial. Historically, leftist dictatorships have always been worse than rightist authoritarians. Surely males in female sports can openly be discussed? Not in Mills’ Maine. ABN
