‘It’s Time:’ Mexico Urges Pelosi To Act On North American Trade Deal

Mexico's President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador looks on during a news conference at the National Palace in Mexico City, Mexico.

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on Monday urged U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi to make a decision about the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, saying it was time to move forward with the trade deal.

Lopez Obrador said Mexican senators accepted changes to the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) presented by the government on Sunday amid an intense back-and-forth between the countries as they hammer out final changes to satisfy U.S. Democrats’ demands.

The president said he “respectfully requests” Pelosi to take action on the deal, which was struck more than a year ago but must be ratified by legislators in the three countries before it goes into effect.

“It’s time, it’s the moment,” Lopez Obrador said during his regular morning news conference, adding that time was running short to avoid ratification of the deal spilling into next year’s U.S. presidential election race.

Mexican lawmakers earlier this year approved the USMCA, which would replace the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA. But Democratic lawmakers have held up U.S. ratification over concerns about how labor and environmental provisions would be enforced.

The United States added an additional request at the weekend, relating to how steel is identified as...

Construction Workers Drown Out Chanting Climate Demonstrators

American workers aren’t too sympathetic to the left inserting their politics into their workplace.

A group of construction workers drowned out left-wing protestors who were creating an unnecessary ruckus in downtown Washington, D.C on Friday.

The workers activated drilling equipment and other machinery, drowning out the protestors. From the looks of it, the leftists, who were mainly going on about climate change, may have been blocking traffic, making their demonstration totally irresponsible and a burden on the general public.

Sources from the scene, reported on by Breitbart News, indicate that the raucous protestors paid no mind as to how their actions were harming commuters. One even told an incensed citizen that he hoped he was “inconvenienced” by the blockage of traffic.

One man who was blocked from going on his way by the climate stunt organizers told Breitbart News that he was on his way to a medical appointments. Attempts to block roads by progressives in deranged attempts to get attention often pose a serious threat to the livelihood and everyday needs of normal people. But it seems that progressives who have enough free time to stage elaborate stunts over supposed environmental concerns don’t care much for the plight of everyday people.

However, their public blight didn’t go unanswered. The workers’ equipment largely prevented the left-wingers from making their repetitive chants heard, securing the last laugh.

Watch a video of the spectacle here:

The leftists had to scream in order to make any of their talking points heard, but when buzz-saw was activated, it became clear that...

Red Tide Rising

On September 21, a protest was held in Aurora, Colorado demanding abolishment of U.S. borders and the Immigration & Customs Enforcement agency. Over the last three years, a myriad of similar anti-ICE, open-border demonstrations have been held in cities across America, all of which have been encouraged and supported, tacitly or otherwise, by the Democratic Party.

One of several Democratic front groups that participated in the protest calls itself the Party for Socialism and Liberation/Denver. To make sure its Marxist ideology doesn’t go unnoticed, the group’s Facebook page reads “Building a Worker’s Paradise in the Heartland of World Imperialism.” PSL/Denver’s name includes the word socialism, but the communist flag flown at its Aurora protest shows that to this profoundly anti-American group, socialism and communism are heads of the same snake.

The open borders demonstration was also attended by members of Rocky Mountain Antifa and Denver Communists, two other openly Marxist Democrat front groups. In this video, a member of Denver Communists confirms that the protestors are demanding elimination of U.S. borders and an end to enforcement of U.S. immigration law. An image on the group’s Facebook page shows members carrying a banner demanding no borders and no nations.

A borderless world without nations represents the culmination of the communist dream of a world united under the banner of the hammer and sickle. For that dream to be realized, America’s sovereignty must be yielded to an international governing body run by the UN, a one-world globalist organization run by an international assortment of socialists-cum-communists. Those who call for a borderless world with no nations are effectively calling for a permanent end to the United States in favor of a “new world order,” a world where Americans would be indoctrinated to no longer see themselves as citizens of their country, but as Citizens of the World.

Occupy Denver is another anti-capitalist group that showed up for the demonstration in Aurora. Hundreds of Occupy affiliates are active in cities, towns and campuses across America. Like other Democrat identity politics groups, Occupy affiliates are openly pro-communist -- Occupy Denver’s Facebook profile picture contains an image of “the Raised Fist,” one of communism’s most recognizable call to arms. Like other Democrat front groups, Occupy Denver helps the Democratic Party advance its hostility toward the police by mocking and ridiculing law enforcement officers, as shown in this photo on the group’s Facebook. Another photo on the group’s Facebook supports the Democrats’ class warfare election strategy with an ‘us vs. them’ propaganda graphic declaring that the poor in America are exploited victims of...

'I hear he's found plenty': Trump says Giuliani will give report on Ukraine findings to Congress

President Trump claimed that his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani will give a report on findings from a recent trip to Ukraine to Congress and the Department of Justice.

Speaking to reporters on Saturday, the president said that a recent trip to Ukraine by Giuliani was fruitful and that the former tough-on-crime New York City mayor was "going to make a report, I think to the attorney general and to Congress. He says he has a lot of good information."

Trump said he did not know the nature of Giuliani's findings and had not been briefed on the trip but indicated that there was significance to the information. "I hear he's found plenty," the president said, careful not to elaborate further. Trump has denied that Giuliani's trip to Ukraine was at his directive. "No, I didn't direct him, but he's a warrior," he said in November.

As the House prepares to draft articles of impeachment against the president, Giuliani has increased his efforts to determine whether Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden were guilty of corrupt practices in Ukraine. Last month, Giuliani claimed his mission was "concerning 2016 Ukrainian collusion and corruption" and to defend his client against "false charges."

Joe Biden has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing during his time as...

Brutal.

That's the way to sum up the Daily Beast description of wealthy Democrat candidate for president, Tom Steyer. The purpose of their Saturday article by David De La Fuente was to shame the Democrats into including "candidates of color' at their next presidential debate but a big take away from the story was that it basically described Steyer as a scam artist.

Not only were Democrats in general shamed in "Democrats Must Not Have an All-White Debate—and the White Candidates Should Say So" but what really stood out was the brutal slamming of Tom Steyer. Before we look at why De La Fuente is upset about the possible makeup of the next Democrat debate, let's get right to him verbally slapping Steyer around mercilessly:

Maybe there is an argument to be made for a smaller debate stage at some point, but the DNC has set up criteria that allows a billionaire to buy his spot while excluding serious candidates with a following and something to say.

And while we’re on the subject of Tom Steyer, he has spent $47 million of his own money in what amounts to a scam. Since he needs donors only to meet the DNC’s bizarre debate criteria, he has essentially purchased his donor base, through tactics such as selling $1 swag with free shipping—usually items worth far more than $1—that has nothing to do with him or his presidential campaign.

Ouch! But wait...there's MORE!

Why should he be allowed to “sell” a button about climate change or opposing Donald Trump for $1 and use that as some kind of indicia of popular support? He has also blanketed early states with enough TV ads and fancy mail to get his name identification up to the point that just enough people might utter it to a pollster because they recognize it.

Former Mayor Mike Bloomberg is eschewing debates thus far, but with his $52 billion in net worth it’s not hard to imagine clever ways for him to meet future DNC debate thresholds.

A debate stage that lets a white billionaire like Steyer buy his spot but excludes substantive candidates of color like Booker and Castro is neither democratic nor representative of the Democratic Party.

De La Fuente urges the all white qualifying Democrat candidates to boycott the next debate unless the "candidates of color" are allowed on the stage even if it means including the one candidate he doesn't like who has actually displayed some diversity of thought by criticizing Hillary Clinton, namely Tulsi Gabbard who unlike either Booker or Castro is now just one poll away from...
