HALF-FULL REPORT 05/05/23
Welcome to the Cinco de Ridiculoso HFR! For that’s what “Cinco de Mayo” is. I could not encourage you more to read TTP’s Cinco de Verdad explaining la verdad, the truth, about today.
“Today millions of us gringos will celebrate May 5th. Yet Cinco de Mayo is a phony tradition, a joke on los Norteamericanos, then exploited as a marketing gimmick by Tex-Mex restaurant chains as an excuse for us to get wasted on José Cuervo.
Yet before you get lost in Margaritaville, here’s the true history of Mexico. You’ll learn more about Mexico’s history in ten minutes than you ever did in school or anywhere else.
To begin with: Nobody in Mexico cares about May 5th. Only we, us gringos, pretend to. For if you ask just about any reveler at the nearest Pancho Villa’s Cantina or some such Mexican-themed bar anywhere in the US just what is being celebrated on May 5th, you’ll get either a blank stare or ‘It’s their July 4th ‘ ignorance. So here’s the real story.”
************
And here’s the real news about Mexico right now. Breitbart’s lead headline this morning (5/05):
The real truth here is that Mexican President Obrador and the ruling elite of Mexico are waging outright war upon America. This has been true for a long time. One of the first TTP articles, from July 2003, was America’s Curse – in which I declared that America’s #1 National Security Threat was not the government of Iran, North Korea, or China, but that of Mexico. It still is today, far more so than twenty years ago.
Back then, it was Mexican illegals flooding our border, with Mexican Nazi groups like La Raza and MEChA radicalizing them to demand California and the Southwest be given back to Mexico. Now its millions from all over the world flooding in to destroy jobs for American workers and destroy their lives with fentanyl and meth.
And worse, the Mexican government has partnered in this with China, as part of Communist China’s war upon America – for it is the primary fentanyl supplier to the Mexican drug cartels that smuggle it into the US. Fentanyl is now the leading cause of death for Americans ages 18 to 49, killing over 70,000 Americans a year in the prime of their lives.
A must-read on this is The Fentanyl Trail: China to Mexico to American Mortuaries, in Townhall on Wednesday (5/03). The article notes:
“If a foreign army tried to come across our border and kill tens of thousands of Americans, Congress would authorize the use of military force. It would demand that the commander in chief use that force to stop them.”
It also notes that the Sinaloa Cartel acquires fentanyl precursor chemicals from China directly or through third countries, then manufacture fentanyl in laboratories in the mountains of Sinaloa.
Wouldn’t the first things you would do as President be to 1) Finish Trump’s Wall, 2) Use a highly reinforced Border Patrol and State National Guards to catch and return to Mexico all those who get through, and 3) Send in Delta Force teams to blow up the Sinaloa mountain labs and liquidate all their personnel?
Why doesn’t the current occupant of the White House? Because he’s controlled by people who hate and want to destroy America as much as does the ruling elite of Mexico.
************
That’s one out of such a plethora of reasons why anyone controlled by those folks can no longer infest the While House after 2024. But the Dems & Dominion have it all rigged in advance, you say? Well, how about a rational pro-American Dem, then? They don’t exist anymore, they’re an extinct political species, you say?
Not quite. It’s looking more likely, day by day now, that there’s one of these rare people very much alive. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. RFK2 for short, as just “Bobby” as his friends and relatives call him. Here are two examples from Wednesday evening (5/03):
Or, how about this? RFK Jr. Says Climate Change Being Exploited To Push ‘Totalitarian Controls’:
“Climate issues and pollution issues are being exploited by mega billionaires like Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, and the World Economic Forum. The same way that COVID was exploited to use it as an excuse to for top-down totalitarian controls on society and then to give us engineering solutions.
And if you look closely, as it turns out, the guys who are promoting those engineering solutions are the people who own … the patents for those solutions. It’s a way they’ve given climate chaos a bad name because people now see that it’s just another crisis that’s being used to strip mine the wealth of the poor and to enrich billionaires.
I, for 40 years, have had the same policy on climate and engineering. You can go check my speeches from the 1980s, and I’ve said the most important solution for environmental issues [is] not top-down controls, it’s free market capitalism.”
This is a guy who would simply disembowel FJB in a debate. He’s far from perfect, especially, say, on the 2nd Amendment. But what if pro-2A Joe Manchin turned him around? What if the Dems ran a Kennedy-Manchin ticket? Just think of how many Woketards would commit seppuku over that!
************
Anyway, it’s high time to rid America of Wokeism. One way is to keep triggering the sensitive little sissies onto paroxysms of outrage and depression, and laugh at their outrage in response. Like singing the national anthem:

On Tuesday (5/02). Scott McKay tells us What We’re Learning From Pushing Back Against the Trans Crowd.
Watch the Montana Legislature turned into a total zoo by Zooey Zephyr, a gender-dysphoric Dem, and her crazed galley protestors against a bill banning child abuse gender surgery.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEsctogek90
The police kicked ZZ and the protestors out, and promptly passed the bill, which Gov. Greg Gianforte promptly signed into law.
On Monday (5/01), with Gov. Kevin Stitt’s signature: Performing Trans Surgery on Children, Prescribing Puberty Blockers Now a Felony in Oklahoma.
Yesterday (5/04), Florida passed a similar ban on child abusing surgery, which Gov. DeSantis will sign quickly.
Woketards are seriously depressed, as their freak show protests aren’t working, normal folks just don’t care about them anymore. From Politico: Health Care Access For Trans Youth Is Crumbling — And Not Just In Red States.
17 states now have bans on “medical transgenderism” for children with some 20 more states to come.
And here’s more good news: UCLA Law School Reports Anti-CRT Measures Adopted By 28 US States
We’re emerging from Woke Insanity and returning to normal sanity once again.

Now let’s talk about gun control. I’m a big advocate of it: use both hands! And in regarding this:
On Tuesday (5/02), the New York Post reported: The IRS Has Spent $10M On Weapons, Ammo, & Combat Gear Since 2020:
“In conjunction with the spike in weapons purchases, the IRS has been hiring significantly more agents in all 50 states. In the job listing for new applicants, the agency notes that any potential applicants must be willing to ‘carry a firearm; must be prepared to protect him/herself or others from physical attacks at any time and without warning and use firearms in life-threatening situations; must be willing to use force up to and including the use of deadly force’.”
The IRS, along with any other non-law enforcement federal agency, doesn’t need guns and shouldn’t have them. That’s gun control we can get behind! Here’s a suggestion on how to start doing this:
Suggest to your Congressman or Senator that they sponsor legislation to strip sovereign immunity from all armed federal agents save for those in specific law enforcement agencies such as the FBI or DEA (and narrow it for them), so they are personally subject to all firearm usage laws for ordinary citizens or armed private security guards.
That’s a start. Another would be for Congress to defund any and all further arms and combat gear purchases by any and all non-law enforcement agencies with only those enforcement agencies specifically excepted.

Now let’s take a look at this:
This is the UN General Assembly vote on April 26 affirming Cooperation between the United Nations and the Council of Europe. Doesn’t sound like much, right? However… the Council of Europe, based in Strasbourg, France, has 46 member states and several observer states including Japan, Canada, Israel and the US, totaling a 675 million population. Last year, it expelled Russia from membership.
The Resolution is all nicey-nice boilerplate, save for this section:
“Recognizing also that the unprecedented challenges now facing Europe following the aggression by the Russian Federation against Ukraine, and against Georgia prior to that, and the cessation of the membership of the Russian Federation in the Council of Europe, call for strengthened cooperation between the United Nations and the Council of Europe, notably in order to promptly restore and maintain peace and security based on respect of the sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of any State, ensure the observance of human rights and international humanitarian law during the hostilities, provide redress to victims and bring to justice all those responsible for the violations of international law.”
Take a look at the vote. Out of 193 member states, 122 vote For, only 5 Against (Belarus, DPRK, Nicaragua, Syria, Russia), 18 abstentions, 48 non-voting. Here’s the eye-opener: China voted For. No abstention or absence, but clear condemnation of Russia’s aggression against both Ukraine and Georgia in violation of human rights, humanitarian law and international law.
That’s the fruit of Zelensky’s phone call with Xi just hours before the vote. China has decided that its relations with Europe are more important than those with Russia, that Europe is determined to have Ukraine win and Russia lose, and so shall it be. Putin is screwed, and so is Russia as an intact nation-state.
As per the current cover of The Economist:
************
On the battlefield, it’s all Downhill City for Putin. As the Ukrainian Ministry of Accidental Fires announced: “We told you there would be a counter-offensive. We just didn’t say where.”
The Wall Street Journal reports (5/04): Crescendo of Attacks Target Russian Supply Lines Ahead of Ukraine’s Expected Offensive. Almost daily now there are drone or sabotage attacks on fuel depots or supply trains – all military targets – just across the border inside Russia.
No wonder the Journal reports today (5/05): Wagner Quitting Ukraine.
Then there’s the London Telegraph reporting on the collapse of the Russian Navy: Vladimir Putin’s Once Feared And Almighty Navy Is Sinking Into A Sorry State. Even the navy’s flagship Peter the Great is headed for the scrapyard.
While the NY Post (5/03) exposes the phony “assassination attempt” on Putin by Ukraine: ‘Drone Attack’ One Of Putin’s False Flags For Propaganda And Power.
On Monday (5/01), Speaker Kevin McCarthy addressed Israel’s Knesset in Jerusalem and met with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu. In his delegation was Dem House Minority Leader Steny Hoyer. After the address and meetings, they held a press conference, where a Russian reporter asked him about Ukraine:

There is a clear unity in Congress and on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue on support for Ukraine. We should all be thankful that at least on this one issue, they are together on the side of freedom and willing to fight for it against totalitarian horror. There’s hope in that.
