Imagine a fire chief who refused to fight fires because it would violate the flames’ right to burn. You’d think such absurd logic could only exist in satire, yet Mexico’s new president has just offered us something remarkably similar—except the flames in question are drug cartels, and the houses burning are filled with real people on both sides of the border.
Every day, roughly 200 Americans die from drug overdoses, with the vast majority of fentanyl flowing through Mexico’s cartel-controlled territories. Just last week, these same criminal organizations gunned down a mayor at a Day of the Dead celebration in Uruapan—a brazen assassination that barely made headlines anymore because such violence has become routine. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has signaled its intention to treat these cartels as the terrorist organizations they are, preparing to take decisive action where Mexico has failed.
You’d think—I don’t know, call me crazy—that Mexico’s president might welcome help in fighting the narco-terrorists who have turned her nation into a war zone. You’d think there’d be righteous anger over murdered officials and citizens. You’d think, at minimum, she’d recognize that civilization requires defending against barbarism.
Instead, President Claudia Sheinbaum delivered this stunning declaration:
From X:
Returning to the war against the narco is not an option. First, because it is outside the framework of the law… So these [wars against the cartels] are called authoritarian, because they’re authoritarian. It’s going towards fascism. I said or have said on several occasions, it is permission to kill without any trial.
Go ahead, read that again. I’ll wait. Because I had to read it three times before I believed someone actually said this out loud. Fighting drug cartels—organizations that torture, murder, and poison tens of thousands annually—is now “fascism.” Protecting citizens from narco-terrorists violates the “rights” of traffickers.
The twisted logic here isn’t just wrong; it’s a complete inversion of moral reality. As the original article aptly notes, when criminal gangs control your government, that itself is a form of fascism. Sheinbaum is essentially arguing it’s fascistic to fight fascism.
This isn’t mere incompetence—it’s ideological rot of the kind we’ve seen creeping into American cities where prosecutors refuse to prosecute and police are told to stand down. The same progressive word games that turn criminals into victims and law enforcement into oppressors. We’ve all seen this movie before, haven’t we? The same moral relativism that treats evil and good as equally valid perspectives deserving equal protection.
Here’s what really gets me: Sheinbaum claims she wants justice for that murdered mayor, yet refuses to confront the very forces that killed him. It’s like demanding justice for arson victims while protecting the arsonists’ right to carry matches. This isn’t governance; it’s abdication dressed up in the language of human rights. How exactly does one get justice without, you know, actually fighting the bad guys?
For Americans watching this unfold, the implications are stark. Every day Mexico refuses to fight these cartels is another day fentanyl flows freely across our border, another day American families plan funerals for overdose victims, another day the rule of law retreats before advancing barbarism. When your neighbor’s house is on fire and they refuse to call the fire department because it might hurt the fire’s feelings, eventually your house catches fire too.
You know what really keeps me up at night? It’s not just Sheinbaum’s position—it’s that she felt comfortable saying it publicly. When leaders can openly declare that fighting evil is itself evil, we’re witnessing something beyond policy disagreement. We’re watching the complete inversion of civilization’s most basic responsibility: protecting the innocent from the predatory. If Mexico won’t defend civilization, America must be prepared to defend itself. And maybe it’s time we stop pretending that respecting sovereignty means watching our neighbors—and our own citizens—burn.
“These fascists have no idea what the word means.”
“Fascists” has been redefined. Anyone who disagrees with you is a fascist. It is like “racist”. Correcting them doesn’t seem to work. Conservatives really need to be jumping on board. If someone says the Cowboys are going to win, you say no I think the Eagles will win, you only believe the Cowboys are going to win because you are a fascist. We need to especially push this type response to young people. Waiter says the chicken soup is good today, you reply back they you are only saying that because you are a fascist. Make a mokery of booth words.
Exactly.
True.
Thanks for the information and link. Thanks to every poster. Enemies foreign ALERT!
Yep. I get it. This is personal as her entire family is at risk.
That's why the best way to do this IMO is a coordinated wide-scale attack that takes out the cartels in their entirety. Top, roots, all of it. Complete annihilation.
On Breaking Bad they knocked out those 10 guys in prison with a 2 minute window. Something analogous to that concept. Maybe not even possible. But if you are going after the cartels you have to go big, deep and wide.
Now we know who she works for.
As if there was any doubt.
That murdered Mayor put her on notice. She wants to stay alive (understandable, but cowardly).
No, it would be justice and law and order and civilized.
It’s interesting to juxtapose this article with the one ProgressingAmerica posted at 10:29 today, and comments thereto, about Mexico’s inability to sustain control of the territories it lost to the US. In the 19th century, the Mexican government held sway from and in Mexico City, with power ebbing away to nothing as distance increased.
The current President of Mexico is conceding that her government does not control the country. That situation is not new, but admitting it aloud is.
“These fascists have no idea what the word means.”
Oh they know exactly what it means.
The author is worried about fetnayl flowing unabated as opposed to the freakin’ wetbacks that invade our Republic. Send as many as possible back to their taco palaces and let them deal with the cartels...I would have no problem bombing the piss out of Mexico.....Nothing but an organized crime syndicate with a bunch of expendable brown people mulling around anyway.
The friggin Mexican Queen is retarded.
Have you been in any government buildings or seen TikTok lately?
Somewhere along the line someone decided that holding your hand fingers up and repeatedly rapidly opening and closing you fist is the new signal for someone in duress.
If you see her doing a weird blinking wave then she isnt asking you for a date, she wants you to call a government agency so they can traffic her instead.
Well then just point out the obvious that the president of Mexico is complicit in narco trafficking and declare her a narco terrorist just like Maduro.
Golden Calf Jew.
Drug dealers, pimps, and human traffickers are patiently waiting on the sidelines.
The narcos have turned their trade in to a quasi religion. So many people are employed or terrorized by he they believe the religious tenants they created. And let’s be honest, the mestizos are not the highest IQ people south of the border.
In relation to your last and this.
I imagine youve been keeping up on Venezuela/China and the Darien gap but did you happen to pick up on HIAS?
“Jewish” version of Catholic Charities and Lutheran Social Services. Bringing in Hezbollah and they immediately head north.
Oh sure, Im sure they had entirely no idea. Shocked, absolutely shocked I tell ya. I mean its not like the Zionists have been colluding with Hamas or anything.
We need the death penalty for drug dealers and for government officials, of any nation, taking money or anything of value from drug cartels.
If Mexicans “flee across the border” it has to be their SOUTHERN BORDER.
They’ll be caught and sent back from here.
