The continual message from President Trump to President Claudia Sheinbaum has been clear, ‘clean it up or possibly we will’, as Trump has publicly and repeatedly said Sheinbaum and the Mexican government were under the control of Mexican cartels.
Following the daring capture of Venezuela dictator Nicholas Maduro, Mexican President Sheinbaum took notice. In the past few months dozens of government officials and cartel members have been targeted, arrested, indicted, extradited and removed from positions of influence.
Today, Mexican Security Minister Omar García Harfuch announced the arrest of Cuautla Mayor Jesús Corona Damián (pictured left).
(Bloomberg) — Mexican authorities detained the mayor of a historic city near the capital, the latest move designed to show the government is rooting out corrupt politicians from its ranks.
Cuautla Mayor Jesús Corona Damián was arrested Saturday, Security Minister Omar García Harfuch wrote in a post on social media platform X. An arrest warrant had been issued by the general prosecutor’s office on May 20.
Corona was on the run in recent days, after the security ministry announced in May the arrests of other top officials in Morelos State. The moves are part of a broader operation under President Claudia Sheinbaum, who took office in 2024 with an anti-corruption message, to nab dozens of politicians taking part in extortion scams and with alleged ties to broader crime rackets.
“With this operation, more than 85 officials and former officials have been detained, including seven mayors currently in office,” García Harfuch said on X. “The government of Mexico maintains a policy of zero impunity regarding any links between authorities and criminal groups.”
Corona, who was also elected mayor in 2024, has been accused of involvement in extortion by state and federal officials, which he has denied. Federal prosecutors opened an investigation after a video surfaced in which he can be seen having drinks with an alleged drug trafficker linked to Mexico’s infamous Sinaloa Cartel. He was shot at in 2024 but survived the attack in a car with bulletproof glass. (read more)

Ay caramba!
Aye Hakeem!
What’s up with the…….
”pop up warning”…….
the attempt to push a virus scan……
and the google search page redirect…..????
YES!!! MACAFEE AND NORTON pop ups for the last 3-5 weeks here at “The Last Refuge” ONLY!!
RED SCREEN WARNING THAT COMMANDEERS THE TAB. ONLY QUITTING the TAB …. will
Stop the Takeover !!!!!!! I am having to alternate on and off my WIFI to accumulate daily articles.
It’s HORRIBLY FRUSTRATING as I believe “Lawfare” based (or “et al hacker”) is PHQing with our most
reliable and precious news site. AD REM please look into this violation of your outstanding site!!!
Infuriating Scum at work, I’m Sure.
Thanks for the message. I thought it was just me.
you can pull it up without a problem on DuckDuckGo
I use DuckDuckGo and it is still a problem.
and Brave Browser, no issue.
Still a problem via Brave with shields using iPad via wifi.
I just have ad block and never get pop ups. I did have Norton clean up my unseen files which removed the very annoying and impossible to stop McAfee junk. It seems my computer was sold with some weakness towards McAfee already installed, but now it is gone.
That’s what we were using, switched to brave and it stopped so far.
Same on Brave! No problems.
I still have the problem with Duck, just not as bad without it.
Aren’t Norton & Macafee anti virus programs??
Using Bitdefender with Duck Duck Go and have zero issues.
No problem so far with Opera.
Try Brave browser. It has Ad Block.
works great on Brave- i gave up on google because of the threats.
PS
This phenomenon has occurred on two, new Apple IMAC 24″ computers in succession.
The second one was an exchange due power failures just last week.
The purchase was via Best Buy here in Texas. Thank you!!
I’ve been getting that at CTH for about a month now.
The “TOR” VPN, although under surveillance, works quite well.
Visit and download: https://support.torproject.org/tor-browser/
Use it—it’s a good tool if you’re not sharing U.S. information deemed sensitive and/or contrary to “national security.”
so does DuckDuckGo
Express VPN +DDG no issues ….but LOTS of crapola is displayed if I forget and come here with VPN shut off…..
Dump using your ISP’s DNS server usually google 8.8.8.8 or their backup 8.8.4.4 They will serve you every advertisement on the planet cause they are paid to do so.
Better to put a new DNS into your A) modem if you have access or B) your router so that all your connected devices benefit.
Option 1: Public DNS Services (Easiest)
Change your Windows network adapter settings to use a DNS provider that filters ads.
https://public-dns.info/
Ah here and AI answer that could work.
AdGuard DNS: Set primary to 94.140.14.14 and secondary to 94.140.15.15. This blocks ads and trackers across all devices on the network.
NextDNS: Offers a customizable dashboard where you can toggle specific blocklists (like EasyList) and block specific apps.
Cloudflare: Use 1.1.1.2 for malware blocking or 1.1.1.3 for malware and adult content blocking.
Option 3: Local Hosts File (Legacy/Manual)
You can manually edit the HOSTS file (%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) to redirect ad domains to 127.0.0.1 or 0.0.0.0.
However, this method does not support wildcards (e.g., *.doubleclick.net) and is harder to maintain than DNS-level solutions.
>>> this is the file to look for online that groups maintain lists of known ad/mal/Sx sites<<<<<<<
Option 4: get a VPN with a built in DNS that blocks adware/malware built into it.
why is it so difficult to just read what you want to know?
Or Option 5 : DuckDuckGo. I’m using it and have for years. CTH is never a problem. Why make life complicated when simple solutions are available that even the most tech-unsavvy among us can use without cost or chance of error?
I bought NordVPN. It is worth the cost.
I use avast on my phone and Proton on the laptop, with brave browser on both,secondary browser is iridium
I was getting them constantly. I followed instructions on a few YouTube videos on how to get rid of them. Search McAffee in YT for the vids. For now, I’m not getting them.
There are days and articles that someone don’t want people to read reading here.
Firefox browser + uBlock extension
this website has been under intense denial of service attacks for at least the last week.
Use the Brave browser to access the Treehouse. No popups or advertisements ever. Same with utube, no stupid ads that interfere with watching any content.
The problem I experience daily, almost several times an hour is the site page refreshes. Refresh is the best way to explain the bumping off and then on to the top of a page (even when I’m reading comments down page. I’ve tried to figure out if it’s Brave not handling refreshes that may be needed to be performed by CTH to update likes and comments.
But it’s always on iPad wifi.
Getting that constantly with Duck Duck on iPhone using safari browser.
Same issue here.
Me too ! Yes they are messing with this site for a long time !
It’s a trick they use to discourage you from accessing a site or to make you believe that the site itself represents a security risk to your device. They’ve been doing it for years.
Just blast out when the bogus warning appears, then immediately re-enter the site. Doing so once generally works. Occasionally I’ve had to repeat up to three times.
Coincides nicely with FB playing games with most CTH articles posted. When I see it, I copy the text of the article, post it on the link that pops up when I hit share to FB….FB posts with no article attached and, sometimes it will post with generic theconservativetreehouse.com. I share articles anyway I can, even of it takes 5 more steps. Some days I lost 3 CTH articles that never make it to FB, so I go back and post them manually.
Bastards.
Brave works great most of the time. When I use safari, all the pop up’s and bs start up immediately.
Super frustrating, but there are trillions at stake.
“Say goodnight to the bad guy.”
“You need people like me.
You need people like me so you can point your f**kin’ fingers and say ‘that’s the bad guy’.”
Now if only some arrests and indictments would start this side of the border.
That would help me to sleep easier.
Followed by convictions and executions…
Absolutely, my thoughts exactly…bill
“If only…..”
Instead of ignoring President Trump’s triumphs and focusing on unfinished business (and treating that unfinished business as losing), I think I will celebrate the wins.
President Trump is making America, and the World, prosperous and safe and GREAT again!
May God continue to bless and protect President Trump, his family and his loyal allies!!
Thank you! It is wearying to read doomer posts day after day as though PDJT is stupid and doesn’t realize that he has to clean out the rot, reset global economic relationships, bring manufacturing back to the USA, lower drug prices, go after fraud and theft via govt funding, stop wars, stop Iran and its terror, rebuilt our military to make it powerful and proud, get men out of women’s spaces, get colleges to stop their harassment of Jews and white people, making DC beautiful again, and dozens of more projects.
My hypothesis is that he is waiting until after the midterms to start arrests of the domestic terrorists in our midst and the indictments of the players involved in framing PDJT. Plus, all of the election cheating losers.
Why give the dems something to scream about and campaign on during the midterms? Let them run on merely being “We Hate Trump. We Love Illegals. Where’s My Burka?”
Exactly right!
It seems to me that President Trump has a step by step plan-a blueprint that he is following.
I believe that he spent the entirety of Dementia Joe’s term, after the stolen election, putting together that blueprint.
We are blessed by God to be able to witness President Trump’s triumphal return to the White House and the implementation of that plan.
I will not waste one second of time being an Eyeore and whining about perceived shortcomings.
I thank God every day for blessing us with the greatest President since Washington-a man who is putting himself in mortal danger on behalf of We The People.
God Bless President Trump!!!
I believe that Trump is an optimist who is only looking forward, not back, so he’s more concerned about winning than about convictions.
Win the war first, then have the show trials.
Seems Mexico is getting a lot of their ‘big wig’ crooks taken down. Alas, no such arrests here. Our governors break the law and allow others, such as Antifa, and we just let them. Oh well.
IF sanctuary cities/states don’t want ICE/BORDER PATROL/IMMUNIZATION federal personnel, fine remove them from airports…bill
Agree Red states need a lot of cleaning and would welcome having scum removed and hopefully the law enforcement would indeed enforce the law.
I’m wondering why these arrested criminals aren’t putting up a fight. These actors can’t be too close to the cartels or Mexico would be having a war to stop the arrests.
Maybe these Mexican authorities should come lead our FBI. Just sayin
Substitute the words “Biden crime family,” and I’ll be impressed.
Patience grasshoppers, all will be revealed on Trump’s timeline. Not ours…
We can always dream. Santa Claus comes on December 25th. It’s for the kids.
Whether you like what I am about to say or not, and hate me for saying it, President Trump has repeatedly stated he would not use retribution as a weapon against his political enemies. He also said he wanted the successes of his term to follow the path he chose.
That is not to say that retribution will not bring some form of “retribution” hopefully in the millions of dollars spent defending in court cases brought on by their own treason and conspiracies in trying to overthrow a sitting President. Brennan, Comey etc etc…. No weaponization indeed. 😎😁
Justice is not retribution. The word retribution is used by the Democrat/Communists to protect illegality.
Justice … “Rule of Law” is not retribution
And he has repeatedly called for the ” rule of law” and plainly stated some of the names that should be arrested. Justice is not retribution.
The arrests, convictions, and imprisonment of the Comey, Brennan, Obama, May Cord, Weissman, Holder, and others… For now, we’re still in the same situation as they say in Texas: Big hat, no cattle
Why is the illegal activity of Biden’s DoJ/CIA.FIB targeting the removal of a sitting president, and when they fail, they then illegally target a former president/U.S. citizen via multiple indictments to send him to jail for the rest of his life not called what is is: revenge, retribution, illegal weaponization of the FBI…
INSTEAD…
when Trump’s by-the-book DoJ/CIA/FIB targets the above-referenced illegal, vengeful activity it’s illogically called retribution
INSTEAD…
of calling it what it is – enforcement of the law.
So many people just can’t connect the dots for some reason.
It’s all part of the misinformation/propaganda ideocracy; an on-going 24/7 operation cooked into the books and used by “both sides.” And why is that? Along with another question, why do good people do bad things? It gets “deep,” for sure. My two cents. Carry on.
Exactly, mainecoon.
“They” love to use word manipulation.
FBI antifa riots escalate.
antifa cartel in america has some things in common with mexican cartel.
there allowd to continue.
Mexico remains 100% under the control of the cartels. Those being arrested are people the narco bosses have traded/sacrificed, in order that Sheinbaum can play the game and pretend to be “cracking down” on the corruption.
Never been a truer statement.
While I suspect this may be so, I do not know. BTW, this particular sacrafacial lamb is apparently on the run, so he may be a sacrafice in name only…
Some may be sacrificial lambs against their wishes…..
As the article indicates, he has been arrested. He was on the run.
A sacrificial lamb.
Business group Coparmex said in an analysis published in January that extortion grew in 20 Mexican states last year, turning into one of the “most persistent and damaging costs for business activity in Mexico.” It cited government data showing there are at least 11,000 victims each year, representing a major growth in extortion over a decade.
In 31% of the cases, an authority figure or someone pretending to be one committed the extortion attempts, Coparmex said in the analysis.
How many of the recent arrests have been sacrificial lambs offered up for the sake of appearance?
Foot dragging is what the Failed Narco State is doing by collecting all the low hanging criminals.
The locations of the storage facilities and manufacturing have been known for decades and it’s beyond time to remove no matter what.
Can we arrest corrupt politicians here please?
Wow. Now do the Mexican police
McAfee Virus in this thread
(I am using Edge)
Over at gateway it is being reported that a Italian mafia head has been arrested by the police with almost the same inventory items as the Rush guy in Alexandria.
Now this, along with the previous arrest wonder if it is all connected.
Gee, that’s great.
Now, do that here.
When will the rest of the world be fixed good enough so that we can turn a bit of that attention to the homeland?
The corruption here is greater than our national debt . . .
What an incredible president.
Right now, the Mexican people don’t have a country. Their government is currently in bed with the cartels, so the people are without protection from them. Perhaps the Mexicans should seriously consider Trump’s offer of military assistance, which was “kindly given.”
