Boy howdy, this article by The Associated Press is very telling.
First, it’s worth remembering that in the fine print of the USMCA deal, Mexico and Canada must comply with North American parts origination for anything they want to manufacture for sale into the United States. Meaning, all trade manufacturers must either create their component parts domestically, or purchase them from the U.S, Mexico and Canada. It’s the core point of the USMCA trade agreement.
Secondly, in an aspect exclusive to the U.S. part of the deal that President Trump and USTR Lighthizer insisted upon, if either Canada or Mexico are deemed to be non-compliant with the agreement, the USA can cancel/override any trade agreement Mexico or Canada have with another nation. It’s a heavy accountability hammer securing the gate into the massive USA market.
In an AP report today, Mexico is scrambling to find local or North American sources of parts and components, because President Trump is set to come into office and look at USMCA compliance. Apparently, Mexico has been using excessive amounts of Chinese component parts for goods being sent into the USA and Canada. Now they are quickly trying to source alternatives.
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico has been taking a bashing lately for allegedly serving as a conduit for Chinese parts and products into North America, and officials here are afraid a re-elected Donald Trump or politically struggling Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau could try to leave their country out of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada free trade agreement.
Mexico’s ruling Morena party is so afraid of losing the trade deal that President Claudia Sheinbaum said Friday the government has gone on a campaign to get companies to replace Chinese parts with locally made ones.
“We have a plan with the aim of substituting these imports that come from China, and producing the majority of them in Mexico, either with Mexican companies or primarily North American companies,” Sheinbaum said.
While Sheinbaum claimed Mexico had been working on that effort since the 2021 global supply chain crisis — when factories around the world were stalled by a lack of parts and particularly computer chips from Asia — it appears to be an uphill battle. Even the United States has faced big challenges in moving chip production back home despite billions in subsidies and incentives.
Mexico gained tens of thousands of jobs when U.S. and foreign automakers moved their plants to Mexico under the free trade pact to take advantage of much lower wages. But the idea that Chinese parts — or even whole cars — could be piggybacking on that arrangement to further hollow out the U.S. auto industry has enraged some people north of the border.
So Mexico is scrambling with private companies to get them to move parts production here.
“Next year, God willing, we are going to start making microchips in Mexico,” Mexican Economy Secretary Marcelo Ebrard said on Thursday. “Of course they’re not yet the most advanced chips, but we are going to start producing them here.” (read more)
It’s amazing how the results of a USA election can almost instantly change the behavior of multinational corporations and the governments’ they bribe.
However, it does lend a person to wonder why the Mexicans and Canadians didn’t have to worry about rule enforcement when Joe Biden was in office?
A wonderful thing, economic pressure.. Si?
Economic pressure on the woke clown shows too. Automaker Jaguar is going the way of Bud Light.
Why do an agreement when nobody is going to abide by it and nobody is going to enforce it…Pathetic…
Exactly!
Daddy’s home.
🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
And why didn’t Mexico and Canada worry about rule enforcement from” Biden”?
I suspect because they were given iron clad assurances that President Trump would never come near the WH again.
To reprise Lord Macmillan…
“Events, dear boy, events”

Love this phrase, Betsy. I’m going to steal it if that’s ok!!!
From the Bible, Unicorn…
Proverbs 21:19
I added “Almighty” because He is, and we have seen the proof of it. Amen 🙏🏻
Amen
I’ll second that Amen!
I think Paul Harvey used to use that phrase from the Bible. Thanks for the reminder, Betsy.
Precisely. The Demented Party and a lot of American (in name only) Corporations have stripped the American Cupboard bare.
May they be damned.
Amen.

MNN BREAKING NOW…
In Art News, Hunter Biden has released a new series of Ukraine-themed artwork, priced at $1 million each due to overwhelming public interest of dictators worldwide.
UPDATE: Due to recent developments, Hunter will now sell them for the change in your sofa cushions or a Free McDonalds French Fries coupon.
Ha…who has change in their sofa cushions? We already searched, about two years ago…
pic on x of crack baby in Disney world or one of their rip off parks looking like good ol dad
OMG, I have hiccups!!!
Where is Huncher? He must be keeping a pretty low profile. People who bought the paintings now have something that the value is akin to a bucket of warm spit. Serves them right. I noted on the page where the article is that an article says ONLY ONE latino representative (?) in that state. Makes me wonder how many Americans are in their government.
I think papers were in the backs of the stretchers.
What can they do to the regulators who didn’t enforce the treaty (not involving another BS IG investigation)?
Nope. Billions made by mexico canada and biden regime groupies and others.
$
Because the Mexican culture has ALWAYS been one of larceny, theft, lying, deception, etc. In fact, this is true of EVERY former Spanish colony I have been to (not having visited Chile, the Canary Islands, and Paraguay). It IS the Spanish feudal legacy.
It condemns such countries to 3rd or 2nd-world status forever. And they will NEVER be trustworthy trade partners.
When you can’t rig the election, Democrats LOSE! When a man gets shot at and nicked chit at and hit, no one wants any part of Trump!
LOL I didn’t see your post before I posted the same thing!
Totally agree.
Uh-oh. Joey’s 10%s are really beginning to dry up. BIG SMILE.
Could it be a similar reason as to Democrats actions in California?
Kamala Harris shut down the BNE, the state’s largest narcotics and gang fighting entity in existence for almost 90 years.
“Its shuttering left the most populous state without its premier anti-drug and anti-gang fighting force, in the same year the fentanyl epidemic first rose to prominence.
“BNE was incredibly important in the fight against cartel and traffickers,” Steve Cooley, the second-longest-serving DA in Los Angeles County, told The Post.”
https://nypost.com/2024/10/24/us-news/kamala-harris-is-the-original-defunder-of-the-police-ex-cops/
BNE was arresting the wrong ethnic groups of California residents. Basically, the same as the draconian California gun laws but then dropping felony gun charges by the thousands every year.
It’s a no brainer with all the cheap labor they are going to have come Jan/Feb of next year. 🤓
It’s a great point which I hadn’t thought of before.
When the bright lights turn on, the rats scurry for their hidey holes..
The manufacturing world has a problem – too many companies’ profit margins are addicted to cheap Chinese crap. Substandard motors, compressors, pumps, thermostat elements, single- and multi-layer printed circuit boards, electronic components, integrated circuit chips, and so much more.
Whats the main problem with Chinese parts for consumer products? They are minimal (thinner /lighter weight) in construction and materials. They don’t hold tolerance over years of use. They fail much sooner and more frequently than parts made in the U.S. 40 years ago. I could go on for 5 more paragraphs and still not cover the breadth of the issues.
Remember Maytag, Speed Queen, Frigidaire, Amana, Kenmore, RCA, Zenith, Emerson, etc. home appliances from the 1950s thru the 1980s? With few exceptions, the products ran like clockworks on demand or continuously for years. They often lasted for decades and were replaced only because the owner wanted new features or a different color in the kitchen or wherever. The old unit was still working the day it was unplugged and hauled out.
Nowadays Chinese refrigerator compressors don’t last 12 months in many units. Washing machine motors and pumps fail just past the 12 month warranty… Etc etc etc.
I await President Trump’s return of manufacturing to America. The employment dividend will be huge. Quality and support should rise too.
We bought a Maytag washer and dryer when we returned from the UK in 2006, GB, confident that we’d bought quality.
I remembered them as the sine qua non from long ago.
From the get go the washer was the noisiest I’ve ever owned. Couldn’t wait to get rid.
Guessing it was NAFTA which did that.
I couldn’t pass you by without giving you a meme since I gave BK & CJ one. This is wonderful news. Immigration has always been my #1 issue since I see this being a huge problem now and in the future. What happened in Bosnia being a great example. Regards friend
Don’t we have Uncle Newtie to thank for NAFTA?
Yes. He facilitated his frenemy & fellow CFR member Clinton’s crime spree and made sure he was not impeached for Treason in regards to ChinaGate, just the silly stuff. Newtie buried the treason that would have sunk the Clinton Admin, hamstrung the Democrat Campaign Finance committee, and crippled the Democrat party for years. Uniparty dialectics, the best way to control your enemy is to lead it yourself.
If you recall, the first thing Clinton did in office is get the FBI files for all members of Congress.
And they played really nice with Clinton.
Actually it began under GHW Bush #41. He was a globalist after all, and figured he’d sign it in his second term after Newt & the RINOs passed it, but then 1992 happened…..
Long before Newt. It just got executed during his term.
The girls and I were talking about that at the dog class about a year ago…about the same thing…and Maytag has not improved…one of my friends was having trouble with her Maytag washer, too. It was less than a year old.
I am crying…my Kenmore, 30 year old Kenmore fridge gave up the ghost….hopefully it can be repaired….first problem I have ever had with it.
Yep, I had an OLD Whirlpool, avocado green W/D set from the 70s, kept it for 25 years, had to replace a belt ONCE, & it never faltered. We gave it away to a newlywed couple, lasted them another 5+ years.
Ahhh, yes, Avocado Green. It must be the Armor of God for household appliances. Never saw a green one fail with normal use.
Yes. Notice I stopped at “…thru the 1980s”? Quality gradually sank after that time period. I don;t know the particulars but some think that the appliance mfrs. saw decreasing demand due to older units lasting so long, so they made changes in component sourcing to cut costs and improve profit margins…
There were exceptions for awhile but since about 2010 it’s been a veritable crap shoot trying to find a truly reliable appliance. Individual people have had fortunate experiences but regardless of which brand they’ve had good luck with, others have had nightmares.
Planned obsolescence.
The early ’80s saw the beginning of the MBA boom and subsequent offshoring, where cost-cutting over quality became a pagan religion.
The ‘80s were apparently a transition time for much of our established culture.
Music, technology, politics, education , manufacturing…. Major changes were happening everywhere but few of us had the omniscience to realize it was happening simultaneously across so much of our existence.
Only hindsight enabled us to understand this was not random or natural…..
Along the topic of appliances: I purchased a stacked washer/dryer for a rental unit. It has a “warm” and a “hot” setting for the washer. (Understanding that “warm” is just a hot and cold mixed through the control valves) But, there is no warm or hot water ever dispensed into the wash tub. After many complaints over two years, several tech visits, etc., the salesperson called the manufacturer and learned that many modern wash machines are built to comply with clean energy requirements in Blue States. Basically, you can’t use warm or hot water to wash your clothes or bedding. Ever. The controls indicate warm and hot, but it is built to not dispense either.
Upon learning that, I asked the same salesperson to find a model that does, we ordered and installed it, and the tenants are quite happy. What a scam.
Wow, really makes you want to hate stupid politicians, yes?
Those poorly justified energy restrictions could be vaporized with the elimination of the Marxist-minded jackboots in the EPA and shrinking the agency significantly.
I’m NOT an advocate for 100% elimination of the EPA – or at least SOME regulatory agency to keep check on industrial greed. I remember the Detroit River on fire because of unchecked industrial waste dumping into the river. That was just one problem among thousands, pre-EPA…
We had an Emerson window A/C unit. Survived a fall out of a 2 story window and was still going strong when we finally installed central A/C 33 years later.
Like a timex watch. Takes a licking but kerps on ticking.😀
Freidrich ACs, German made in TX, went for 30 years! They still command high prices, but made in Mexico, crappy/non-existent “customer service”.
“American” Profiteers outsourcing to Communist Slave Plantations in China, not subject to endless regulation, including a complete absence of Environment Regs.
30 years of destroying America, replaced by Debt and Financialization where the Selected Friends get the newly printed money to Front Run the average Joe who is completely blind to the Deception.
We had a 74 GE harvest gold side by side. It was still working when I changed colors in the kitchen many years later and gave this to someone.
We still have the same old white Whirlpool that we got in 1990, when we bought our first house…just went through a multi-day power outage in our area from a “Bomb Cyclone” (whatever the heck that is?) and when we fired up the generator, the fridge didn’t come on. We thought that maybe it had finally given up the ghost but about an hour later, it suddenly kicked to life and now it’s running perfectly once again!
I’ve paid good money to move my old appliances, when others would say it wasn’t worth it.
Those older appliances have been worth it! They run well, do the job better than new models, and can be easily repaired if need be.
I thought my 30 year old Kenmore would say “Hold my beer”….repair guy comes Monday…
My 70’s fridge like that one above, even survived a move from Charleston SC to northern IL….
That olive green fridge looks just like the one my wife and bought nearly 50 years ago. We left it in a house we moved out of 20 years ago – it was still going strong.
We had that exact fridge too.
We had a similar GE refrigerator in avocado green! It lasted from 1979 to about 2008, moved from our first house to our current house in the mid ’90s. The ice-maker had failed – we were using ice trays – and finally it stopped cooling…
The next unit (Maytag, French Door style) lasted ~12 years and failed. Was quoted $1,000+ for repairs. Nope. Lost $300 worth of food…..
The replacement (Maytag, also French Door style but 5 cu. ft. smaller) lasted only 11 months and had to have its compressor replaced under warranty (which was 12 months). That refrigerator was bought in early 2020 and the replacement compressor is still working…..(finger crossed).
PS – We bought an 11 cu ft “supplemental” refrigerator-only (no freezer) unit – “Danby” brand, made in China – from Home Depot about 2016 and put in garage. It’s still running. Also bought a cheap 6 or 7 cu ft chest freezer from Home Depot in 2015 for $199 on sale, and also put in garage. It’s still running too. Go figure.
My mom had the same color!
Hah. They only offered the green, the gold (dull yellow), white, and an off-white / beige at the time we got ours. For awhile there was a burnt orange / copper color in some brands but that didn’t stay popular as long as the green and gold.
I’m remembering the Chinese drywall that ruined so many homes around 2006 or there abouts.
Yep. Garbage. But it was cheap, and I believe there once was a shortage of US made gypsum board (at least locally – IDK how geographically far that extended) which caused contractors to buy the imported junk.
I install floors so you can imagine how far down the chain my trade is insofar as quality of materials. I almost always use 1 3/8 inch ring shank nails to install trim metals , install tack strip and nail down small areas of luan 1/4 inch underlayment. The 1 3/8 inch nails are thick enough to drive into oak floors without bending too often and thin enough to be able to consistently countersink. I carry at least 20 different types of nails.
A few years ago I picked up my typical 5 lb box of these 1 3/8 ring shank nails and I’m nailing a small foyer area of luan underlayment. Every other nail I would drive had the heads pop off if I countersunk them. Most times it happened immediately but many waited a few seconds and the heads actually popped off with a comical “ping” and flew a few feet away.
Sure enough, I look at the box and I see, “Made in China”. I immediately took the box back to Lowe’s and found some that were made in Mexico. No more problems.
Just a few years ago I bought a box of Roberts wood tack strip from Home Depot. I immediately noticed that the nails were a bit thinner and shorter and I look again, “Made in China”. Also, the securing drive nails were all inserted into the tack strip at an angle which in order to drive straight, you’d have to swing your hammer too close to the baseboard.
I have been apprehensively waiting for Chinese roll carpeting and sheet vinyl to arrive. Some of the laminate flooring and luxury vinyl planks and tiles are made in China.
There is a manufacturing defect I am encountering in some of the cheaper “Traffic Master” carpet that Home Depot sells. Most wall to wall carpeting has 2 backings. I have been wondering if this defective carpeting could be made in China with 1 backing, transported to the US , Mexico or Canada and then have the second backing installed to claim it is made in North America?
I wouldn’t put it past them. Anything for an extra buck.
You might dissect a piece to see it’s construction.
Then have the fibers analyzed.
“However, it does lend a person to wonder why the Mexicans and Canadians didn’t have to worry about rule enforcement when Joe Biden was in office?”
1,000% spot on!
Mexico ignored the rules because “Biden” allowed it.
Canada is in on the game to.
Large crates of “Made in China” parts contain smaller packages with no markings whatsoever of Country of Origin.
I looked at a Water Tap set at Home Depot and there was NO country of origin on the box.
The parts are stamped “Made in USA” which is actually USA, China! LOL
My husband and I used to lead mission trips to Northern Baja California, Mexico, where there are thousands of acres of fields filled with strawberries, raspberries, tomatoes, and green onions…and the trucks head north every day filled with the produce that is sold in our grocery stores, marked as “Packaged in California”.
Baja California is the name.
The southern part of the Baja peninsula is called Baja California Sur.
Beautiful deserts and awesome people as well!
Oh, I know that – my comment had to do with the fact that many fruits and veggies that are grown in Mexico are marked as being from “California”. Most people don’t realize that the full name of the Baja Peninsula is Baja CALIFORNIA so they assume their produce was grown in the US…
If the Americans do not hold their feet to the fire, the Canadian and Mexican government officials sell out their own citizens’ economic interests in return for bribes.
Biden of course did not stop the sellout game. He joined in.
Bingo
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can again feel Donald Trump’s approach
Like a fire in the blood

They laugh behind your back, and they laugh in your face.
Lie to our faces too…
It elementary watson. Pay to play.
Trump is going to have to consider a punishment for the past transgressions and a trade deal mod that includes provisions for automatic triggers that are not subject to the whims of bribed public officials. We all know why Biden doesn’t enforce trade restrictions. His and Congress’ Chinese paymasters won’t like it.
Which is why we re-elected PDT in a Landslide in 2020.
We could not see God’s wisdom in delay, but now we do. Thank You, Lord!

Chinese Steel is used almost exclusively in “Made in Canada” stuff.
Fact is, in Canada, no Distributor stocks anything but Made in China steel. They will tell you it is “Made in Korea”, which generally is a lie.
An engine rebuilder friend just had a “blister” (a tear-out) in a Made in China diesel engine sleeve, which one of the mechanics caught just before installing.
How much of this crap has already been installed/purchased? Who profits inside the U.S.A. from this garbage brought in for domestic consumption?
Honest American products can’t be made because the VOLUME is offshored into China.
Chinese Steel= pot metal
Buy USA when you can, buy Canadian if you must, buy Mexican if you absolutely have to, buy CCP if you have a gun to your head.
China plays all sorts of games with the country-of-origin labelling. They pass-off all sorts of stuff made in China as originating elsewhere. Sometimes they trans-ship through the other country. Sometimes they even go so far as to unload a ship full of Chinese-made stuff and have the locals re-load it onto one of their ships. Other times they don’t even bother.
https://oceanair.net/beware-of-fake-made-in-labels-on-exports-to-the-u-s/
they play the same game here
with auto parts
buying components and assembling/testing them in this country
to call them made in USA
then packaging them
in 10 different boxes
so the same thing is sold by different suppliers.
Or found on our airplanes?
Mexico is way behind the curve on microchips. Intel, Micron, and several other chip manufacturers are coming online very, very soon.
We won’t need Tawain after that.
I love how PDJT is using economics like Thor’s hammer. America has the market that everyone wants to trade at. PDJT’s knows that and is and has used it effectively. Tariffs can and will be used effectively by PDJT despite whatever gaslighting and lies the Mockingbird Fake News comrades attempt.
It will be at least ten years of focused effort building before we don’t need Tiawan’s chips.
Microchip manufacturing facilities coming online and start dates by company and state:

How many Jews are citizens of Mexico?
Who gives a crap? Irrelevant. Just like your question.
Do you check your bedroom closet for Jews before you go to bed?
MAGA is starting to work even before MAGA begins.
…..and what happens in 2028? Elections have not been corrected yet.
PDJT has not even taken office. DOGE has not even made recommendations. PDJT has not even been able to act on those future recommendations.
At least wait until PDJT gets into office before showing Concern for 2028.
Yea, in other words, don’t be a doomer. Laws will be passed.
2026 is a more immediate concern.
We need to get voter ID implemented in the Blue States that “voted” for QueMALA Sutra.

This is personal to me friend sync. My older brother warned this could happen all the way back in 1992, and was a big part of why he supported Pat Buchanan, since he was in that field. Much of my political enlightenment took place then as I began to read my big Four Populist political writers (Pre-Sundance),Chronicles,Spotlight,The New American, John Birch etc
Council On Foreign Relations Bush’s “NWO” speech was also a catalyst for learning the truth. Much is coming full circle for me, as Buchanan supporters had all of those Alinsky canards hurled at us by the Mockingbird fake news, just like we & I did again as PDJT & MAGA supporters
November 1992 and the first indications (to me) of election rigging and bought and sold media
For me it was the blatant steal in the 1996 GOP Primaries from Buchanan. I’ve hated the rat bastard Neocon/Rino’s ever since and than found how they pushed the Iraq war and every war since (They were also behind the Balkans wars against the Serbs). I see our crippled Iraq & Afghanistan war vets and remember who pushed to invade Iraq after 9/11, the Neocon vermin.
I’m very glad that in 2014, tsa pushed me to never fly again.
I missed all of the fun of the covid tyrants, the DEI pilots & air traffic controllers & the planes falling apart in flight.
Okay, Daddy’s home!
I figure you’d like this CJ.
Thank you, Colkitto! 😉
Now about those remittances that go to Mexico and other countries on a daily basis.
Sure you don’t want to take back your illegal aliens?
Tariffs on Mexico will force them to stop it. PDJT pure genius.
President Trump already announced during the campaign that he will use the option to renegotiate USMCA.
Cheating on trade deals? Say it ain’t so!
“However, it does lend a person to wonder why the Mexicans and Canadians didn’t have to worry about rule enforcement when Joe Biden was in office?”
The Globalists behind conman Joe really do hate us.
Bahahaha – or en Español….Jajajajaja!

Ay caramba!
Oh, God … I LOVE IT !!
Can I say … THANK YOU JESUS ???
Many, many smiles follow …
Bilateral agreements. Tariffs . Funny that Buyden didn’t enforce them, but Trump did, and will.
USA needs to on-shore critical pharmaceuticals, metals, chips/silicon, and any other tech that weakens us.
Mexico and Canada “need” to fear economic impacts, because they cannot be trusted otherwise.
Sundance, during one of his rallies, I’d say nearly two months back, PDJT said that he would be exercising the six-year renegotiation option within the USMCA, haven’t heard a word since.
I’ve been eager to hear your take on that!
This is going to be so much fun!!
Obviously, we don’t want to cut off TRADE with Mexico, cause once we DO,we lose the hammer.
Short of that, we (PDJT) Can basically get any demand met, up to and including the President of Mexico commiting an obscene act in macys window.
THAT is the power of trade, in that the U.S. market isso much larger than anyine elses, so that no one wants to be shut out of it.
Thats why “We would be HONORED to supply 38,000 troops, to have remain in Mexico, etc.
China would be uttely devastated, if they couldn’t sell into America, or the EU, actually thatsa whole seperate issue cause their economies have been dependant on not only them selling to us, but us not selling to them, the marshall plan trade restrictions.
PDJT will have tremendous power,the minute he is sworn in, assuming they let him be sworn in.
PDJT won’t have finished the last syllable of “States” in that oath of office and things will be changing.
It’s not just that, but also that Mexico NEVER intended to honor ANY agreement of any other kind with the US. And unlike the Chinese, they’re not smart or patriotic enough to adapt 1st-world tech or practices to develop their own country & people!
They always have, and still do, think about how to benefit the already wealthy & powerful, to the detriment of the whole country. At least, China has always been willing to steal ideas, tech, and IP for their country, but the lazy, corrupt, selfish MX rulers won’t even do that for their people!
They depend very heavily on Foreign Direct Investment to subsidize their poor, cartel-extorted economy. If only 30% of FDI pulled out of MX, their whole economy would fail. It’s NOT a stable economy.
Our Lion will leverage everything, and it might just save MX from its new WEF-owned president.
He was all ears on the situation
Just watched Neil Olivers latest monologue,”We have a right to defend ourselves”…
Makes me want to take up arms, as we are NOT Governed, we are abused by crimimal cartels run by psychopaths…
And I feel this call to arms, despite PDJT’s recent victory..
What he says, stirs my soul, and pisses me off, simultaneously.
So much so, I have to step away from the internet for a breather,…cause “Patience my ass,I wanna kill something!” as the buzzard famously said.
“And I feel this call to arms, despite PDJT’s recent victory..”
You’re in a big crowd brother….
So Trump’s already creating new jobs in Mexico. Nice.
Winning!
I’ve noticed something that no one else has said but me, “I’m not a billionaire and I’ve never been the President of the USA!”
I do my very best not to pretend President Trumps choices on who he picks for whatever position he chooses is wrong or questionable. My above quote keeps me grounded.
Being burned has a funny way to reality and I honestly believe President Trump loves this country and the Owners (Us) who control it.
The fentanyl poisoners deserve everything they will be getting.
Just play by the agreed upon rules.
Why is that an issue?
Most leaders of governments and their minions don’t value truth, honesty and integrity.
Ask the Biden’s.
PS: And who knows what spyware crap they put in our electronics and cars.
So our Amigos to the south have been violating the agreement all along! It just shows you what they think of Biden and/or the US in general! We should just shut down the border altogether with those bums and let them stew in the menudo!
Fine!!! No fresh tomatoes for you on Christmas Day!
Just hearing Trudeau’s name ever get mentioned makes me want to hurl.
what a Socialist scum bag
“Economic security is National security.”
Daddy’s home.
When a country is lead by weak, unqualified globalists, other countries are more than happy to take advantage of it and economically abuse it. With MAGA Patriots in charge, other countries comply. When you’re the number one country on planet earth, the rest fall in line. The MAGA administration will soon be in charge, and it is already making a difference on the world stage.
