“Rushing” Toward The U.S. Border

by

AP reports, “Caravan migrants break Guatemala border fence, rush Mexico.”  ‘Rushing Mexico‘?  Well, I suppose.  However, that choice of a word typically has more of a “sporting flavor” rather than the out and out assault or invasion that it actually is. One can always count on the AP for PC-Politically Correct reporting.  Like Mike Rowe says, “It’s a Dirty Job, that someone has to do.”  And do it,  the AP does.  No sense in using a WORD like attack, charge, invade, assail, storm, or maybe assault when little old rush would do.

Migrants traveling in a mass caravan burst through a Guatemalan border fence and streamed by the thousands toward Mexican territory on Friday, defying Mexican authorities’ entreaties for an orderly crossing and U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats of retaliation.

On the Mexican side of a border bridge, they were met by a phalanx of police with riot shields. About 50 managed to push their way through before officers unleashed pepper spray and the rest retreated.

The gates were closed again, and police used a loudspeaker to address the masses, saying, “We need you to stop the aggression.”

Gavin Newsom Opens His Arms (and California’s) To MS 13

by

As reported in Breitbart, “California Lieutenant Governor and gubernatorial candidate Gavin Newsom said on Wednesday that President Donald Trump is like a slave owner and Nazi for referring to MS-13 illegal immigrant gangsters as “animals.” He also added that Trump’s “hateful rhetoric” can lead to “hate crimes” and “genocides”

Perhaps the rest of us should give Mr. Newsom the opportunity to “practice his preaching” and offer any MS 13 gang member interdicted in any of the other continental 47 States a choice: A) Go to jail and then be deported, or B) Accept a Bus Ticket to California and $300 Bucks for munchies and pot to help get settled in to Mr. Newsom’s Neighborhood.

The Washington Post Slings Another Slippery Headline – Updated

by

Update: The article “That caravan of migrants Trump was tweeting about? Mexico stopped it.” refered to below appears to have been disappeared by the good folks at the FakeNews Washington Post.  The link from the old article go directly to a new one, “The caravan of migrants that’s alarmed President Trump stalls at a soccer field.”  They rewrote it, but failed to include an “Oops” we made an error correction.  Instead, they just made it go away.

That incorrigible Washington Post can’t resist serving up misleading headlines in an effort to try and diminish President Trump. For example, “That caravan of migrants Trump was tweeting about? Mexico stopped it.”

This misleading headline is one of the reasons the WaPo gets labeled so often as FakeNews. The headline – “That caravan of migrants Trump was tweeting about? Mexico stopped it.”

The ‘facts’, though, as reported in the story, belie the “Mexico stopped it”part of the headline. For example, the “annual caravan…is currently in the town of Matias Romero Avendano in the southern state of Oaxaca.” It’s still there waiting for something that may or may not happen.

Or how about, “A portion of the group …[is in] the neighboring state of Veracruz…but it is unclear whether that group has so far dispersed.” If it’s unclear that the group has dispersed, it probably hasn’t.

Or my favorite, “An official from Mexico’s National Institute of Migration told BuzzFeed News that Mexico plans to disband the caravan by Wednesday.” We have plans to, but as of yet we haven’t stopped anything at all. You know what they say, “The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.”
