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.
Mexico is the neighbor from Hell.
Looks like she is in Camp Democrat, where the other criminals are.
Trump sure knows how to make them drop their masks.
Secular Jews are the ones Hitler aimed to exterminate due to their communist tendencies. Unfortunately many religious Jews were collateral damage. As a Jew who lost family to the Holocaust, those who got out prior told stories about it.
It depends on what you mean by “going to war” with the cartels. I can’t read her mind, but I think she was attacking Trump for blowing up the drug boats. I don’t think she was saying that her government wouldn’t fight the cartels by other means (even though her government doesn’t fight the cartels by other means — maybe not by any means).
Oh. Wait.
Yeah, you know she’s on the take.
Nah, she supports the cartels.
She’s paid by the cartels.

The tragedy of Sheinbaum’s convoluted thinking is that she feels “comfortable” saying it publicly.

Dizzy Sheinbaum won’t defend civilization. So we Americans must stop pretending a dork like Sheinbaum is in any way credible. We will not sit by and watch Sheinbam’s asinine spectacle.

Mexican President Sheinbaum Declares Fighting Cartels Would Be ‘Authoritarian’ and ‘Fascist’ says the puppet of the Sinaloa Cartel
Does she work for the people of Mexico or the Cartels of Mexico?
The Cartel’s whore is complaining?

She likely corrupt, or deathly afraid for herself and her family, or both. Most likely both.
I didn’t know Rand Paul was a Mexican.
