Hahaha! Remember Vindman, the "American" (read: Ukrainian) military officer who used to angrily gripe about Trump, and was constantly telling tales about him? No respect from him for chain of command, when his feelings for beloved Ukraine were always tugging at him.
So Musk is publicly warning who he's going to fire when he comes in as head of DOGE.
And Vindman will be one of them.
Mexican president announces she is stopping the migrant caravans from arriving at the U.S. southern border after Trump's tariff threat.
The announcement came only 12 hours later.
Two days after President-elect Donald Trump threatened to impose sweeping new tariffs on Canada and Mexico as part of his effort to crack down on illegal immigration and drugs, he said he spoke with the Mexican president and she “agreed to stop Migration through Mexico."
US President-elect Donald Trump said November 27, 2024 that Mexico's leader, Claudia Sheinbaum, had agreed to "stop" migration during a conversation between the pair, "effectively closing" the border between their countries. (AFP)
In a post on his Truth Social account Wednesday evening, Trump said this was “effectively closing our Southern Border.” He called it a “very productive conversation!”
Mexican president said Mexico is not capable of doing it. But then they did this before during 2017-2020 DJT presidency. The program was called "Stay in Mexico" and was quite successful. So there.
The thing with Mexico and the immigrants into US is rather simple: immigrants are from other nations rather than mexico. That is exactly why those Latins from Mexico who immigrated previously hate these new intruders who are not exactly Latin and morever they are criminals trying to push their way into the US. I heard a fair number are from China. Bidenwa and others turned a blind eye to this push. Mexico just wanted to rid these pests from their nation, no mexican will put up with this wild bunch. DJT told Mexico: you stop them otherwise I am increasing tariffs on Mexican goods. Immediately the Mexican police/army swung into action and closed their Southern border from which this inflow happened. No immigrant flow in Mexico, none at the US - Mexico border.
This time DJT is going to use US Army/Airforce/Marines C-130s and ship all these illegals outside the US. Goodbye to the lot. That is the mandate from voting DJT in the US.
Adani indictment is a ‘legal matter’ between pvt entities and US:MEA
Nov 29, 2024
MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said New Delhi hasn’t had “any conversation also on this particular matter with the US government
NEW DELHI: India on Friday said the indictment of Indian tycoon Gautam Adani by US prosecutors is a “legal matter” involving private entities and individuals and the US Department of Justice, and the Indian side has not yet received any official request for cooperation.
The comments by external affairs ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal were the first official response from New Delhi since US federal prosecutors charged Adani with multiple counts of wire and securities fraud in New York. The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a parallel case charging his associates with conspiracy to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
“We see this as a legal matter involving private firms and individuals and the US Department of Justice. Obviously, there are established procedures and legal avenues in such cases which we believe would be followed,” Jaiswal said in response to several questions at a regular media briefing.
Jaiswal made it clear the Indian government currently has no role in legal proceedings involving Adani-linked entities in the US.
“The government of India, so far, we have not been informed in advance on the issue. We haven’t had any conversation also on this particular matter with the US government,” he said, responding to queries on whether the American side had kept India in the loop on the matter.
US authorities are required to notify India’s home ministry for any legal action within India, including the execution of an arrest warrant. The home ministry can then direct central agencies to act on the request. Jaiswal said any such request from the US side will be “examined on merits”.
“I would like to inform you that...any request by a foreign government for service of summons or arrest warrant is part of mutual legal assistance. But such requests are examined on merits. We have not received any request on this case from the US side,” he said.
But that applies to Mexican President also. How do we know she is not lying? Or Trudeau who was at Mar-A-Lago. At the start of negotiating a deal, all parties take a stand that is gives them the most benefit. That is the start of the price discovery process. Trump is known to bluster and the other two are no babes in the woods either. Trudeau probably is the most cunning of the three going by his handling of Canadian Trucker protests, his leveling unfounded charges on GoI, willingness to carry out ICC warrants against Bibi N/Gallant, and his accomodation of Khalistanis.

Donald Trump has selected his son-in-law Jared Kushner’s father, Charles Kushner, to serve as the next US ambassador to France, the president-elect announced Saturday.
“I am pleased to nominate Charles Kushner, of New Jersey, to serve as the U.S. Ambassador to France. He is a tremendous business leader, philanthropist, & dealmaker, who will be a strong advocate representing our Country & its interests,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.

I knew that was either fake news or a plain lie from Trump. The Mexicans have a lot more self-respect than some of the posters in this thread.

Any evidence, sir jee? Or is it your gut feeling?!!! You sire, already proved that your "gut feeling" arising out of partisanship is not to be trusted.

saaru varru, wiki has been available for more than 2 decades now and people should know how to use it. The convenience is, you get to see the "quoted sources" on the wiki page. If you do not know that by now, then I'm not sure any additional explanation will be worth our times...lol
Since you are wondering about the sources, which point/source listed on the wiki page do you contest? Let's start from there.
This is worse and blatant nonsense, abuse of power and shielding own kind. Criminal son, criminal politicians, rules for thee and not for me. Of course dementia Joe forgot everything but father son bond over rode everything.
Sanman has introduced Kash Patel: Trump Nominates Kash Patel as FBI Director
PGurus has an indepth look at Kash Patel. A former MI6 dude called Steele worked with H. Clinton to concoct the Russia conspiracy nonsense with DJT. None of this could be proved by the Dumbocrats. Kash Patel investigated this nonsense. FBI is filled with Deep State Gehra Rajya folks who are subverting its original purpose. Hope Kash Patel gets confirmation from the Senata, there are several RINOs in the senate, even though the Repubs have majority.

You, sire, have spoken too soon. President Biden said over 10 times in the past that "I am not going to pradon Hunter Biden" or something to that effect.
Did he lie or did he not, we unpadh hoi-polloi want to know. Can you point out a Wikipedia page for the lies that were told by President Biden? Bill Clinton? HIllary Clinton? Nancy Pelosi? Kamala Harris?
Probably you, sire, should get educated a little about the blacklist/whitelist/graylist sources of Wikipedia itself.
I will link a few of the posts I made in another dhaga in this very forum. You were visiting sasural at that time, IIRC.
Deep blue states residents are going ape shiiite on Trump's win. They know that their assets - mostly real estate - is gonna go down the toilet. Many I know have got into debt by buying investment RE in deep red states. They are so pucca rent-seeking that they put the perfidious Albion Angrez to shame.
If their CA assets lose value, they are going to be in deep doo doo. Unfortunate but true. That is the reason for all the wailing. The same set actually voted for anti-India/anti-Hindu folks like Ro Khanna, Kamala Harris, that Afghani woman who brought in SB403, and several others without any ask.

As Trump 2.0 gets closer and if (a big If K Patel gets to be FBI chief) Patel and D.O.G.E. can dig more deeper, Woh Bummer's the Hand(a la Game of Thrones) role becomes more clearer.
More may come out and say openly that The Hand messed it up and left others to carry the bag!!
Yes, Burisma racket is a scandal which clearly connects back to Joe Biden himself. It remains to be seen whether that scandal can be successfully buried, even in spite of the pardon. After all, it's not Hunter Biden himself who is at risk -- it's the entire Biden family and even the cronyist network power structure.

The "non-governmental organisations" (NGOs) that organise anti-government protests and support coups in places such as Ukraine and Georgia are funded by the US governments and aligned with US intelligence agencies (often staffed by "former" CIA officials)
- NED was established by President Reagan in 1983 so intelligence agencies could manipulate civil society in the open (hide in plain sight) by doing so under the guise of promoting human rights
- There is a sea of evidence of how NED functions as a branch of the CIA, yet they are never held accountable by the media and thus become increasingly brazen
- The shamelessness is demonstrated by inviting Victoria Nuland, the leading coup-maker in Kiev, on the board of directors of NED. None of our journalists think this is strange
- While the media is silent as the grave, there is plenty of academic work on how these organisations operate: https://westminsterpapers.org/article/id/115/
If you have not already caught up to this, totally worth listening. Mike Benz on Joe Rogan lays out all the domestic and international efforts by US agencies to subvert democracies, manage public opinion and weaponize it to have American backed regimes in power.
He talks about USAID and how activism/NGOs are a tool of US intelligence. Also on US desks for each country to get their candidate to power. Victoria Nuland is supposed to have 20 such desks under her.
Not news to many here, but this is going mainstream now in the USA.
