President Trump's return to the White House has brought a radical shift in U.S.-Mexico ties, reshaping relations between the two neighbors. Within his first 100 days in office, the U.S. President declared a “national emergency” at the southern border, directed U.S. troops to help seal it, designated several Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, and threatened to impose tariffs on Mexican imports unless tougher action is taken to curb the flow of fentanyl and migrants. While Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has so far proven capable of navigating President Trump's hardline negotiation style, the road ahead for U.S-Mexico security cooperation remains uncertain. In this episode, Ryan C. Berg sits down with Cecilia Farfán-Méndez, Head of the North American Observatory at the Global Initiative against Transnational Organized Crime. Together, they discuss the security challenges faced by Mexico, as well as the stresses and opportunities presented by the second Trump administration for U.S.-Mexico cooperation. They also delve into the differences in President Sheinbaum's security policy and where there may be signs of a shifting approach from her predecessor.

This week's guest is Terry Donohoe, Senior Vice President of Freight Forwarding, U.S & Mexico for DP World. As most of us know, DP World is a leading global logistics company headquartered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. They operate a large network of marine and inland terminals across more than 40 countries, handling approximately 10% of global container traffic. In our conversation, Terry provides an overview of DP World as well as the global freight forwarding industry. We discuss the impacts of the United States - Mexico Canada Agreement (USMCA) that superseded NAFTA, the challenges companies face in meeting changing and differing regulatory requirements across the globe, and DP World's evolution from a basic transport provider to an integrated solution provider moving product from “Factory Floor to Customer Door.” Finally, we talk about the future of global trade. As opposed to some pundits who have claimed that we have reached and passed “Peak-Global Trade”, Terry compares trade to water - in that, it always finds a way.

And yes, I am available for speaking engagements.]Yesterday was a bit of high political drama as President Biden and Donald Trump simultaneously paid visits to the southern border in Texas, 266 miles away from each other, Biden in Brownsville and Trump in Eagle Pass. Their leadership approaches couldn't have been any different, of course.Trump and the GOP are once again seizing on immigration as their tip-of-the-spear campaign message, claiming that our nation is under threat from undocumented migrants (it is not), and President Biden is doing his damnedest to fight disinformation on the issue while projecting strength in the face of the GOP's bumpersticker philosophy jousting.In Brownsville, the President talked up the bipartisan border deal that got pretty obviously scuttled by Senate Republicans in deference to Trump, whose racist immigration rants have become his signature song. He also encouraged Trump to join him in calling on Congress to act. Some on the left are angry at President Biden for this perceived olive branch, and respectfully, that makes no sense to me. It's a smart political move. He knows Trump isn't going to engage in good faith on this issue, and he knows there are moderates who will be won over that someone in this debate is attempting to meet the other halfway.We've arrived at a predictable cycle in the immigration debate: the Republican Party spreads lies and half-truths about undocumented migrants, political media pretends to kinda sorta push back against the disinformation (but not really), and most Democrats weakly fumble in attempting to mollify concerned moderates who don't understand that this is a contrived issue.Anyone old enough to remember the 2018 midterms—approximately 20 years ago, it feels like—will recall the conservative media panic over “migrant caravans” that were about to invade the United States. The day after the midterms, that issue quickly faded away and the next clown cause took its place to stoke outrage.See, the Republican Party doesn't really have any good ideas on how to “protect the border” for the simple reason that the border is too big to protect.The U.S-Mexico border is nearly 2,000 miles long. Barring some unforeseen advancement in extraordinary technology, it is impossible to “protect” the border. Even assuming a wall that long could be built—for several reasons, notably cost, it cannot be built—the entire stretch of border would still need to be actively monitored. You can scale these walls and cut through them. Seriously. Someone's gotta be there to prevent that from happening, right?Let's be generous for a second and pretend there'd only be need for a skeleton crew (say, five personnel) for every two miles along this hypothetical wall. That works out to about 5,000 personnel being actively deployed at any given moment, but these folks need sleep. So, at about a standard 40 hours a week, we're actually looking at 20,000 personnel, at least, being actively deployed to monitor the border.So, presumably, after we've built this giant wall, which, in itself, is quite expensive, there will be the far more complicated task of comprehensively guarding the wall and repairing it over time. Forever.No one should understand this better than Trump. Remember his famous campaign pledge? He would get the wall built, and Mexico would pay for it.Trump came into office in 2017 with a federal trifecta: the presidency, the House, and the Senate were all under GOP control. In fact, the Republican majorities in Congress were more than enough to get done whatever the hell needed to be done in order to build the wall.Everything was in place to act on his main campaign pledge. Four years later, the Trump administration had built just 52 miles of new primary border barriers, although he often takes credit for “500 miles” because about 90% of that were repairs to existing primary and secondary border barriers.Basically, this man talked so much s**t about the border and the non-existent “migrant crime wave” and how only he could take care of it, and yet, after voters gave him every lever of power he needed to do just that, only an additional 2.7 percent of the U.S.-Mexico border had new barriers by the end of his term.(Oh, and Mexico didn't pay a dime, of course.)I mean, really, think about that. Trump could have singlehandedly ensured the wall got built in those first two years of his presidency, but he didn't. Far from it. Why? I think it's pretty obvious: * Donald Trump and the Republican Party know that it's an impossible task to comprehensively “protect the border” and stop the immigration of undocumented migrants. It ain't gonna happen. There's just too much border for it to be feasible.* Trump and the GOP partly don't want to solve this issue because it's an incredibly potent vehicle for racist propaganda and electoral strategy. Part of the allure of this topic is that it's very easy to message on in bad faith, replete with blatant disinformation, because it can't actually be “solved” and thus, it's the gift that keeps on giving.* And they partly don't want to “solve” it, which would mean mass deportations and asylum refusals, among other things, because they know that the American economy would collapse without undocumented migrants. In fact, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has estimated the influx of new immigrants, documented and undocumented, will strengthen the U.S. economy by $7 trillion more over the next decade than without this labor force otherwise.* Fear is a primary motivator for the Republican base, and the foolish moral panic over the non-existent “migrant crime wave” makes for excellent propaganda, which draws considerably more fundraising and electoral sting in much of the country.I don't think all conservatives or all Republicans are included in the above. There are reasonable adults on the right who simply want common sense measures in place to prevent the rare demonstrably dangerous immigrant from entering the country. That is entirely reasonable, and I agree with it.We should have sensible border security policies in place, but folks, I gotta tell you: when I think of national security or the economy, undocumented migrants aren't among the first ten concerns that come to mind for either. I grew up in Texas, as did generations of my family before me. I grew up around undocumented migrants. I had classmates and friends and neighbors who were undocumented.And I'll tell you something that I think is especially weird about many Republicans in Texas: they'll say “illegal immigration” is a problem, except when it comes to the undocumented migrants they personally know. Oh, that guy? He's good people. Leave him and his family alone. They're not bothering nobody.They are aware of this paradox, and they don't seem to care that it's hypocritical. I grew up around a lot of these kind of conservative folks, and I don't find this complicated stance of theirs especially heartwarming. I think it's ridiculous and frustrating. There is no “border security crisis” to our south. If anything, there is a humanitarian crisis that should be all-too-easy to address with the kind of supposed “Christian values” that are consistently shoved down our throat by Republican politicians.Somehow, “pro-life” means forcing 11 year-old rape victims to give birth but not welcoming desperate and hungry migrants with open arms, recognizing that our Savior, too, was a migrant on this earth. Selective Christianity is a hell of a thing. These folks seem to (inaccurately) deploy the Bible as a weapon for their own misguided judgment but never seem to read what Christ said constantly about our collective duty to the poor and the otherwise vulnerable.Christ never said: “For you shall welcome migrants with love, provided they properly navigate the needlessly and insufferably byzantine process of U.S. customs and immigration, often via repeated attempts, often without success and offered a dubious and illogical explanation as to why.”No, Christ was very clear about being kind and generous to the most vulnerable among us, regardless of nationality. Sure, this is all very easy for me to say because I'm not running for president. My job is to fight disinformation and highlight the hypocrisy of bigots and offer you, my readers, a reasonable top line analysis of all this.President Biden is fighting a far different battle. He knows how quickly clumsy messaging can escalate into calamity and sabotage what might be the last ever fair presidential election we'll have in the event that Trump should prevail.The mass communications in all this are a minefield, and I think there are a lot of well-meaning progressives who are losing sight of the big picture: we have to make it through November and this discourse is extremely delicate and taking an aggressively progressive approach on this issue, especially without Congress, is very foolish.The President, the wise man that he is, looks for every opportunity to win over moderates. Yesterday's statement directed at Donald Trump was not an olive branch; it was an incredibly smart way of getting a lot of moderate voters to ask: wait, what is Trump's plan on this issue and why didn't he get it done the first time around? Where is his legislative proposal? Where are his ideas?And also, it gets some moderates to recognize that the President is at least trying to work with his opponents while Trump just keeps insulting his.All of this is frustrating, no doubt about that. It's enraging and exasperating and heartbreaking. We should be welcoming undocumented migrants as a boon to our society and economy. We should be prioritizing human rights, especially in the echoes of a hundred thousand church sermons every week on Christ's love.We are a better country because of our undocumented siblings. We're also stuck in a discourse that is held hostage by zero-sum pronouncements rooted entirely in racist views and completely detached from the data.In taking the basic adult responsibility of acknowledging that our current politics are chaotic and often unpredictable, it should be much easier for those of us who are reasonable adults, regardless of where we fall on the political spectrum, to have more grace with each other on this issue.We should be educating each other and contextualizing what the next eight months mean for the future of our democracy.Let's just get to November. Let's beat Trump. Let's beat this goddamn guy first and then turn our attention to fixing the mess he created. Because if we don't do that, what happens next on this issue will be far worse than any of us can imagine, and undocumented migrants deserve a hell of a lot better than performative arguing that ultimately leads nowhere.

On the version of Hot off the Wire posted Jan. 29 at 7 a.m. CT: COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — President Joe Biden says the U.S. “shall respond” after a drone strike by an Iran-backed group killed three American troops in Jordan and injured dozens more near the Syrian border. Biden's national security team briefed him as he traveled Sunday in South Carolina. Appearing at a church banquet hall, he said the U.S. had a “tough day last night in the Middle East” and that “we shall respond.” He also asked for a moment of silence in remembrance of the slain service members. They are the first U.S. fatalities after months of strikes by such groups against American forces across the Middle East amid the Israel-Hamas war. Israel’s allegations that 12 employees of a United Nations agency were involved in Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack have led several Western countries to cut off funding and reignited debate over Gaza’s biggest humanitarian aid provider. The U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, known as UNRWA, employs thousands of staffers and provides vital services to millions of people across the Middle East. In Gaza, it has been the main supplier of food, water and shelter to civilians during the Israel-Hamas war. Israel has long railed against the agency, accusing it of tolerating or even collaborating with Hamas. UNRWA denies that and says it took swift action against the employees accused of taking part in the attack on Israel. PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A teenager awaiting trial in a homicide case who escaped outside a Philadelphia hospital last week has been captured. Police say Shane Pryor was taken into custody Sunday by the U.S. Marshals Service. The marshals will hand the 17-year-old over to police homicide detectives. Authorities said Pryor fled Wednesday from the driveway of the emergency room at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, where he had been taken with a hand injury. Less than an hour after he fled on foot, the teen was spotted on video getting into a car that drove him away. Police say the 18-year-old driver was later arrested. MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A dying thief who confessed to stealing ruby slippers that Judy Garland wore in “The Wizard of Oz” is expected to stay out of prison after he's sentenced. Seventy-six-year-old Terry Jon Martin stole the slippers in 2005 from the Judy Garland Museum in the late actor’s hometown of Grand Rapids, Minnesota. His sentencing hearing is scheduled for Monday. Martin's attorney says he had gone straight, but wanted to pull of “one last score.” The attorney says Martin gave into temptation after an old mob associate persuaded him that the famous shoes were adorned with real rubies. Both sides are recommending he be sentenced to time served because he is in hospice care. WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans have released two articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Republicans have vowed to push forward with election-year efforts to oust the Cabinet member over what they say is his failure to manage the U.S-Mexico border. The rare step against a Cabinet member drew outrage from Democrats and the agency as a politically motivated stunt lacking the constitutional basis to remove Mayorkas from office. The Republican-controlled House Homeland Security Committee is set to vote Tuesday on the articles of impeachment, aiming to send them to the full House for consideration. Speaker Mike Johnson has said the House will move forward as soon as possible with a vote after that. WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress is racing to wind down a tax break meant to encourage businesses to keep workers on the payroll during the COVID-19 pandemic. What was expected to cost the federal government $55 billion has instead cost it nearly five times that amount as of July. Meanwhile, new claims pour into the IRS each week, and that's ensuring a growing price tag that lawmakers are anxious to cap. Now, lawmakers across the political spectrum say it's time to close down the program. They intend to use the savings to offset the cost of three business tax breaks and a more generous child tax credit for many low-income families.

At this week's Round Table, new podcasters Emily and Heba joined Jack and Skyla to speak with Brianna Carmen, political director at Emerge. Emerge is the nation's premier organization that recruits and trains Democratic women to run for office. At Emerge, Brianna not only gets to work through partners at the local state and national level, but also develops strategies for operationalizing all of their training. She has helped Emerge support 1,200+ alums currently in public office and has helped register 600,000 voters, with a focus on youth. Being raised along the U.S-Mexico border in El Paso, Brianna saw firsthand a community that was impacted by many key issues yet lacked widespread voter participation and political power needed to address them. Her life experiences in an underrepresented community shaped her passion for being involved in large-scale impactful work. With Gen Z demographically being the most racial and ethnically diverse constituency in most communities, Brianna feels that youth today possess the widest arrays of perspectives and ideas to resolve ongoing issues. She shared with us that “Having more women who are Democrats elected into office will lead to better policies because they are the folks who are dealing with these challenges every day. So why shouldn't they have a seat at the table to change it?” She is very committed to debunking the myth that young activists don't have the experience or networks to be successful on the campaign trail. Towards this end, Emerge is working hard to both encourage Gen Z to run AND to set them up for success on the campaign trail.

Colonial Denial of Indigenous Migrant Asylees and Refugees Rights and State-Sponsored Terrorism along the U.S.-Mexico Colonial Border and the South” Recent American mass media coverage of migrants along the U.S.-Mexico colonial border continuously censor, erase, and ignore the harsh experiences of migrating Indigenous peoples legally seeking asylum or refugee status within the political defined borders of the United States. Not only are migrating Indigenous peoples escaping often times torturous and threatening conditions in their home countries, but also they frequently endure more compounded human rights abuses traveling through Mexico, along with U.S.-Mexico settler colonial border, and within the United States. Our guest for the hour provides extensive and in-depth analysis and update on the recent interrelated events regarding Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples seeking either asylum or refugee status migrating into the United States along the U.S-Mexico and the south. In addition, our guest warns how the Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO)-Biden meetings – as part of the North American Leaders Summit held on 1/9 and 1/10/2023 in Mexico City - signal a red flag for Indigenous land and water protectors and he discusses the continuance of the U.S. federal Title 42 program permitting the deportation of recent migrants negatively impacting Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples held by US DHS Customs and Border Protection. Lastly, our guest chronicles the human rights abuses in some detention centers, outlines the struggles of humanitarian relief efforts, and informs listeners of the human rights abuses perpetrated by the United States government and other nation-state governments against migrating (non) Indigenous peoples, plus more. Guest: Dr. Roberto D. Hernandez, Associate Professor, Chicana & Chicano Studies at San Diego State University (SDSU). He is an actively engaged, community-b¬ased researcher, scholar, teacher, writer, and activist. Dr. Hernández' research, publications, and teaching focus on the intersections of colonial and border violence, the geopolitics of knowledge and cultural production, decolonial political theory, social movements, hemispheric indigeneity, masculinity and comparative border studies. He co-edited the anthology Decolonizing the Westernized University: Interventions in Philosophy of Education from Within and Without and is the author of Coloniality of the U-S///Mexico Border: Power, Violence, and the Decolonial Imperative (Univ. of AZ Press, 2018).

Biden made the comments Wednesday at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, saying that it's his "intention" to visit the border during his trip to the North American Leaders' Summit on Jan. 9-10, which will include meetings with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. The visit would mark Biden's first trip to the border during his presidency. People familiar with discussions surrounding the potential visit told the Wall Street Journal that Biden will not be making a policy announcement if he visits the border. The potential trip comes amid a record-breaking crisis at the southern border, with 617, 250 total migrant encounters occurring so far in FY 2023 as of Dec. 29, 2022, according to Customs and Border Protection sources, adding that there's an average of 6,858 encounters per day. In FY 2022, migrant encounters reached 2.3 million. On Dec. 6, Biden said that "there are more important things going on" when asked why he'd visit a border state but not the U.S. -Mexico border itself. The Biden administration has pushed for Title 42 — the pandemic-era policy which allows immigration officers to quickly remove migrants from the country on the basis of public health — to be lifted. After U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan ruled in favor of immigration advocates and gave Title 42 an end date of Dec. 21, the Supreme Court temporarily halted the policy's termination. Without providing evidence, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in November that Biden has been to the border. https://www.theepochtimes.com/white-house-defends-covid-travel-restrictions-as-beijing-threatens-countermeasures_4961495.html?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=BonginoReport Now from the southern border, to this! Donald Trump Says "China"- Play 0:00-0:10 You guessed it, we’re talking about China! https://www.theepochtimes.com/white-house-defends-covid-travel-restrictions-as-beijing-threatens-countermeasures_4961495.html?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=BonginoReport White House Defends COVID Travel Restrictions as Beijing Threatens ‘Countermeasures’ The White House is defending its decision to issue travel restrictions related to COVID-19 following several threats from China’s communist regime. The Biden administration said there was no cause for retaliation from Beijing after its communist leadership criticized Washington’s decision to require a negative COVID-19 test from those who travel from China to the United States. “There’s no cause for retaliation here just because countries around the world are taking prudent health measures to protect their citizens,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said during a Jan. 3 press conference. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which rules China as a single-party state, announced that it will reopen its borders on Jan. 8. The move comes just one month after the regime abruptly terminated its zero-COVID policy in response to mass unrest, causing cases of COVID-19 to surge throughout China. The move prompted a global outcry, and nations around the world are hurrying to put in place testing requirements for all arrivals from China. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a statement on Dec. 28, 2022, saying that passengers would need to present a negative COVID-19 test result or proof of recovery before boarding a U.S.-bound flight from China. The CDC said the move was meant to “slow the spread of COVID-19 in the United States during the surge in COVID-19 cases in the PRC [People’s Republic of China] given the lack of adequate and transparent epidemiological and viral genomic sequence data being reported from the PRC.” The United States joins the UK, Australia, Canada, France, India, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Spain, Malaysia, Qatar, and other nations seeking to place stronger restrictions on arrivals from China. A spokesperson for the CCP said that the testing requirements were “unacceptable” and vowed that the regime would “take countermeasures” against nations that issue travel restrictions on flights originating in China. The White House defended the decision to require testing from all China-originating travelers based on the international consensus that COVID-19 is currently ravaging China’s populace. That’s funny though… anyone remember when Trump shut down travel to China? Speaker Pelosi Visits SF's Chinatown To Show Support Amid Coronavirus Fears Play 1:16-1:40 The CCP has attempted to cover up the scale of COVID-19 infections in China and the number of deaths it’s causing among the Chinese population, which has no natural immunity following almost three years of constant lockdowns. Leaked images of papers from a CCP conference in December 2022 revealed that Party authorities believe that as many as 248 million Chinese became infected within the first 20 days of December. Publicly, the regime claims that only 10 people died from the disease throughout the month. That’s generally what happens when you don’t allow for herd immunity. https://bigleaguepolitics.com/report-at-least-769-recently-vaxxed-athletes-collapsed-last-year-during-competition/ Report: At Least 769 Recently Vaxxed Athletes Collapsed Last Year During Competition One of the underlying stories of 2022 is the enormous number of professional athletes – primarily men with an average age of 23 – collapsing during competition. Though many of these instances have been documented in singular reports. Mainstream media outlets appear reluctant to link this unprecedented surge in collapses to the Covid-19 jab. Or to even bother asking follow up questions as to why or how this is happening. This is especially suspicious considering the majority of these collapsing instances involved recently vaccinated and or boosted athletes. One America News Network (OAN) did some digging and discovered more than 769 athletes have collapsed on the field during a game from March 2021 to March 2022. As outlined by The Defender, this spike “in cardiac arrest and other heart issues among elite athletes coincides with the rollout of COVID-19 jabs.” Pearson Sharp of OAN asks: How many 23-year-old athletes were collapsing and suffering heart attacks before this year? Do you know any 23-year-old people who had heart attacks before now? And these are just the ones we know about. How many have gone unreported? Nearly 800 athletes — young, fit people in the prime of life — falling down on the field. In fact, 500% more soccer players in the EU are dropping dead from heart attacks than just one year ago. Sharp discussed how this unprecedented surge is not a coincidence. Especially because “the Pfizer vaccine is known to cause heart inflammation.” He also alluded to the fact this number may be grossly underreported. The reason for these unreliable figures stems from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) showing only between 1 and 10% of adverse reactions according to past investigations. Kyle Warner, for example, is an athlete who filed a VAERS report about his own health injuries following the COVID-19 jab. As Dr. Joseph Mercola put it; the filing took Warner 45 minutes – “a length of time that many doctors can’t or won’t devote when it comes to reporting adverse vaccine reactions seen among their patients.” Regardless, elite athletes collapsing in game increased so much in 2022 that even a mainstream media sports channel in Australia has speculated that the health issues could be linked to COVID-19 shots. https://twitter.com/i/status/1513542808531046409 - Play Video As this number steadily grows, mainstream outlets appear to be ignoring these collapses and their potential linkage to the Covd-19 vaccine. At the same time, the White House and other institutions continue pushing for more to take the experimental jab and get boosted. https://thepostmillennial.com/two-thirds-of-us-big-bank-economists-predict-a-recession-for-2023?utm_campaign=64487 Recession predicted in 2023 for US economy by economists at major banks Two-thirds of top economists at the United States' largest financial institutions are predicting a recession in 2023, according to a survey conducted by the Wall Street Journal. Primary concerns cited in the survey of 23 primary dealers, including those from Barclays PLC, Bank of America Corp, TD Securities, and UBS Group AG, were a dwindling of pandemic savings, a decline in the housing market, and a tightening of lending rules as potential warning signs of an incoming recession. The prediction follows a year of soaring inflation, accompanied by rapid interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve that have risen from nearly zero in March, to 4.5 percent by the year's end. The Federal Reserve reportedly plans to continue its increase to 5 percent, then 5.5 percent in 2023. Economists predict that this will force unemployment rates above five percent, resulting in millions of Americans losing their jobs. The central bank doesn't forecast a decline in interest rates until 2024 at the earliest, as it attempts a balancing act of attempting to lower inflation levels without triggering a recession. Inflation began to increase at the beginning of 2022, rising at its fastest pace in 40 years. It currently sits at three times the government's preferred rate of two percent. Americans' savings during the pandemic from decreased spending and government stimulus measures have started to dwindle, as consumers increasingly dig in to weather rising prices of most products, from groceries to gas. Households have also increasingly had to take out lines of credit to afford their lives, as total household borrowing increased by $351 billion between the second and third quarter, to a total of $16.51 trillion, the fastest increase in 14 years. The high interest rates have hit the housing market particularly hard, as mortgage rates continue to soar and home sales plummeted. Banks have also significantly tightened their lending standards, more often than not an indicator of an incoming recession. Out of the 23 primary dealers surveyed, only five believed that there would not be a recession: Credit Suisse Group AG, Goldman Sachs Group Inc., HSBC Holdings PLC, JPMorgan Chase & Co, and Morgan Stanley. Jeremy Schwartz, Senior US Economist at Credit Suisse, one of the five banks that didn't predict a recession, wrote of the outlook for 2023, "Several historically reliable lead indicators are sending recession signals, but in our view these measures are unable to correctly gauge recession risk in the current environment." https://www.foxnews.com/world/zelenskyy-warns-russia-planning-prolonged-attack-iranian-shahed-drones Zelenskyy warns Russia planning ‘prolonged’ attack with Iranian Shahed drones Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that Kyiv has gained intelligence suggesting that Russia is planning a prolonged attack by using Iranian-supplied Shahed drones. In an overnight address Monday, Zelenskyy warned that in the two days since the world welcomed in 2023, Ukraine has stopped more than 80 drone strikes. "We have information that Russia is planning a prolonged attack with Shaheds," he said. Zelenskyy said that Russia is looking to exhaust "our people, our air defense, our energy sector" by constantly pummeling the country with air strikes – a strategy Moscow has been employing for months but which it has escalated as winter sets in. "Now is the time when everyone involved in the protection of the sky should be especially attentive," he said addressing Ukrainian pilots and those in charge of air defense. Moscow and Tehran, Iran, have repeatedly denied any drone partnership or the use of Iranian supplied drones in Ukraine despite evidence supplied by Kyiv and backed by Western defense officials. Zelenskyy urged his forces on the front lines, particularly those fighting in areas like Bakhmut – which has seen intense ground warfare for months – to continue to hold the line amid harsh winter conditions, which has likely slowed fighting in other areas like Kherson. Ukrainian forces have continued to push the lines eastward in areas like Donetsk, and fighting has begun to intensify in the Donbas region where Russian backed forces have fought since 2014. Commander-in-Chief of Ukraine’s Armed Forces championed this week that Ukrainian forces have liberated 40% of the territory Russia occupied following its invasion. He also said that in the regions where Russian forces remain Moscow has lost roughly 28% of the land.

Commander-in-Chief of Ukraine’s Armed Forces championed this week that Ukrainian forces have liberated 40% of the territory Russia occupied following its invasion. He also said that in the regions where Russian forces remain Moscow has lost roughly 28% of the land.

Biden made the comments Wednesday at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, saying that it's his "intention" to visit the border during his trip to the North American Leaders' Summit on Jan. 9-10, which will include meetings with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. The visit would mark Biden's first trip to the border during his presidency. People familiar with discussions surrounding the potential visit told the Wall Street Journal that Biden will not be making a policy announcement if he visits the border. The potential trip comes amid a record-breaking crisis at the southern border, with 617, 250 total migrant encounters occurring so far in FY 2023 as of Dec. 29, 2022, according to Customs and Border Protection sources, adding that there's an average of 6,858 encounters per day. In FY 2022, migrant encounters reached 2.3 million. On Dec. 6, Biden said that "there are more important things going on" when asked why he'd visit a border state but not the U.S. -Mexico border itself. The Biden administration has pushed for Title 42 — the pandemic-era policy which allows immigration officers to quickly remove migrants from the country on the basis of public health — to be lifted. After U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan ruled in favor of immigration advocates and gave Title 42 an end date of Dec. 21, the Supreme Court temporarily halted the policy's termination. Without providing evidence, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in November that Biden has been to the border. https://www.theepochtimes.com/white-house-defends-covid-travel-restrictions-as-beijing-threatens-countermeasures_4961495.html?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=BonginoReport Now from the southern border, to this! Donald Trump Says "China"- Play 0:00-0:10 You guessed it, we’re talking about China! https://www.theepochtimes.com/white-house-defends-covid-travel-restrictions-as-beijing-threatens-countermeasures_4961495.html?utm_source=partner&utm_campaign=BonginoReport White House Defends COVID Travel Restrictions as Beijing Threatens ‘Countermeasures’ The White House is defending its decision to issue travel restrictions related to COVID-19 following several threats from China’s communist regime. The Biden administration said there was no cause for retaliation from Beijing after its communist leadership criticized Washington’s decision to require a negative COVID-19 test from those who travel from China to the United States. “There’s no cause for retaliation here just because countries around the world are taking prudent health measures to protect their citizens,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said during a Jan. 3 press conference. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP), which rules China as a single-party state, announced that it will reopen its borders on Jan. 8. The move comes just one month after the regime abruptly terminated its zero-COVID policy in response to mass unrest, causing cases of COVID-19 to surge throughout China. The move prompted a global outcry, and nations around the world are hurrying to put in place testing requirements for all arrivals from China. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a statement on Dec. 28, 2022, saying that passengers would need to present a negative COVID-19 test result or proof of recovery before boarding a U.S.-bound flight from China. The CDC said the move was meant to “slow the spread of COVID-19 in the United States during the surge in COVID-19 cases in the PRC [People’s Republic of China] given the lack of adequate and transparent epidemiological and viral genomic sequence data being reported from the PRC.” The United States joins the UK, Australia, Canada, France, India, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Spain, Malaysia, Qatar, and other nations seeking to place stronger restrictions on arrivals from China. A spokesperson for the CCP said that the testing requirements were “unacceptable” and vowed that the regime would “take countermeasures” against nations that issue travel restrictions on flights originating in China. The White House defended the decision to require testing from all China-originating travelers based on the international consensus that COVID-19 is currently ravaging China’s populace. That’s funny though… anyone remember when Trump shut down travel to China? Speaker Pelosi Visits SF's Chinatown To Show Support Amid Coronavirus Fears Play 1:16-1:40 The CCP has attempted to cover up the scale of COVID-19 infections in China and the number of deaths it’s causing among the Chinese population, which has no natural immunity following almost three years of constant lockdowns. Leaked images of papers from a CCP conference in December 2022 revealed that Party authorities believe that as many as 248 million Chinese became infected within the first 20 days of December. Publicly, the regime claims that only 10 people died from the disease throughout the month. That’s generally what happens when you don’t allow for herd immunity. https://bigleaguepolitics.com/report-at-least-769-recently-vaxxed-athletes-collapsed-last-year-during-competition/ Report: At Least 769 Recently Vaxxed Athletes Collapsed Last Year During Competition One of the underlying stories of 2022 is the enormous number of professional athletes – primarily men with an average age of 23 – collapsing during competition. Though many of these instances have been documented in singular reports. Mainstream media outlets appear reluctant to link this unprecedented surge in collapses to the Covid-19 jab. Or to even bother asking follow up questions as to why or how this is happening. This is especially suspicious considering the majority of these collapsing instances involved recently vaccinated and or boosted athletes. One America News Network (OAN) did some digging and discovered more than 769 athletes have collapsed on the field during a game from March 2021 to March 2022. As outlined by The Defender, this spike “in cardiac arrest and other heart issues among elite athletes coincides with the rollout of COVID-19 jabs.” Pearson Sharp of OAN asks: How many 23-year-old athletes were collapsing and suffering heart attacks before this year? Do you know any 23-year-old people who had heart attacks before now? And these are just the ones we know about. How many have gone unreported? Nearly 800 athletes — young, fit people in the prime of life — falling down on the field. In fact, 500% more soccer players in the EU are dropping dead from heart attacks than just one year ago. Sharp discussed how this unprecedented surge is not a coincidence. Especially because “the Pfizer vaccine is known to cause heart inflammation.” He also alluded to the fact this number may be grossly underreported. The reason for these unreliable figures stems from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) showing only between 1 and 10% of adverse reactions according to past investigations. Kyle Warner, for example, is an athlete who filed a VAERS report about his own health injuries following the COVID-19 jab. As Dr. Joseph Mercola put it; the filing took Warner 45 minutes – “a length of time that many doctors can’t or won’t devote when it comes to reporting adverse vaccine reactions seen among their patients.” Regardless, elite athletes collapsing in game increased so much in 2022 that even a mainstream media sports channel in Australia has speculated that the health issues could be linked to COVID-19 shots. https://twitter.com/i/status/1513542808531046409 - Play Video As this number steadily grows, mainstream outlets appear to be ignoring these collapses and their potential linkage to the Covd-19 vaccine. At the same time, the White House and other institutions continue pushing for more to take the experimental jab and get boosted. https://thepostmillennial.com/two-thirds-of-us-big-bank-economists-predict-a-recession-for-2023?utm_campaign=64487 Recession predicted in 2023 for US economy by economists at major banks Two-thirds of top economists at the United States' largest financial institutions are predicting a recession in 2023, according to a survey conducted by the Wall Street Journal. Primary concerns cited in the survey of 23 primary dealers, including those from Barclays PLC, Bank of America Corp, TD Securities, and UBS Group AG, were a dwindling of pandemic savings, a decline in the housing market, and a tightening of lending rules as potential warning signs of an incoming recession. The prediction follows a year of soaring inflation, accompanied by rapid interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve that have risen from nearly zero in March, to 4.5 percent by the year's end. The Federal Reserve reportedly plans to continue its increase to 5 percent, then 5.5 percent in 2023. Economists predict that this will force unemployment rates above five percent, resulting in millions of Americans losing their jobs. The central bank doesn't forecast a decline in interest rates until 2024 at the earliest, as it attempts a balancing act of attempting to lower inflation levels without triggering a recession. Inflation began to increase at the beginning of 2022, rising at its fastest pace in 40 years. It currently sits at three times the government's preferred rate of two percent. Americans' savings during the pandemic from decreased spending and government stimulus measures have started to dwindle, as consumers increasingly dig in to weather rising prices of most products, from groceries to gas. Households have also increasingly had to take out lines of credit to afford their lives, as total household borrowing increased by $351 billion between the second and third quarter, to a total of $16.51 trillion, the fastest increase in 14 years. The high interest rates have hit the housing market particularly hard, as mortgage rates continue to soar and home sales plummeted. Banks have also significantly tightened their lending standards, more often than not an indicator of an incoming recession. Out of the 23 primary dealers surveyed, only five believed that there would not be a recession: Credit Suisse Group AG, Goldman Sachs Group Inc., HSBC Holdings PLC, JPMorgan Chase & Co, and Morgan Stanley. Jeremy Schwartz, Senior US Economist at Credit Suisse, one of the five banks that didn't predict a recession, wrote of the outlook for 2023, "Several historically reliable lead indicators are sending recession signals, but in our view these measures are unable to correctly gauge recession risk in the current environment." https://www.foxnews.com/world/zelenskyy-warns-russia-planning-prolonged-attack-iranian-shahed-drones Zelenskyy warns Russia planning ‘prolonged’ attack with Iranian Shahed drones Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that Kyiv has gained intelligence suggesting that Russia is planning a prolonged attack by using Iranian-supplied Shahed drones. In an overnight address Monday, Zelenskyy warned that in the two days since the world welcomed in 2023, Ukraine has stopped more than 80 drone strikes. "We have information that Russia is planning a prolonged attack with Shaheds," he said. Zelenskyy said that Russia is looking to exhaust "our people, our air defense, our energy sector" by constantly pummeling the country with air strikes – a strategy Moscow has been employing for months but which it has escalated as winter sets in. "Now is the time when everyone involved in the protection of the sky should be especially attentive," he said addressing Ukrainian pilots and those in charge of air defense. Moscow and Tehran, Iran, have repeatedly denied any drone partnership or the use of Iranian supplied drones in Ukraine despite evidence supplied by Kyiv and backed by Western defense officials. Zelenskyy urged his forces on the front lines, particularly those fighting in areas like Bakhmut – which has seen intense ground warfare for months – to continue to hold the line amid harsh winter conditions, which has likely slowed fighting in other areas like Kherson. Ukrainian forces have continued to push the lines eastward in areas like Donetsk, and fighting has begun to intensify in the Donbas region where Russian backed forces have fought since 2014.

Recent global events have unmasked inequitable healthcare systems that disproportionately affect poor Latinx populations along the U.S-Mexico border. Professor Jennifer K. Seman's recent publication offers a brief insight into these inequities by approaching borderlands modes of care from a historical perspective to reveal how two vital practitioners of curanderismo – “An earth-based healing practice that blends elements of Indigenous medicine with folk Catholicism” (1) – served their communities to heal physical and societal ills at the turn of the twentieth century. Borderlands Curanderos: The Worlds of Santa Teresa Urrea and Don Pedrito Jaramillo (University of Texas Press, 2021) follows the biographies of these two Mexican folk healers as they traverse borders during a moment of increased nation-building, as they are implicated in the world of the spiritualist movement, and stand firm in their faith as they are wedged against professional modern medicine. Seman grounds the history of curanderismo in the cross-cultural exchange between European, Native American, and African heritages and practices that depend largely on the belief that there is a connectedness between the mind, body, and spirit. By utilizing institutional and non-institutional archives, newspaper accounts, and built environments in which Santa Teresa and Don Pedrito traversed and are memorialized, Borderlands Curanderos offers a detailed look at their lives. One major thread linking the curanderos is how they negotiated the state and state power during the early 20th century in Mexico and the United States. “It was their extraordinary responses to the failure of institutions that made Santa Teresa and Don Pedro threats – and, in some cases, assets — to the states and institutional authority,” (4) writes Seman. In other words, their medicine did not come from the state, the church, or professional medicine, as argued in her book, but rather from a distinct cultural practice that revitalized the sick. These two healers took on the insurmountable task of tending to people and geographies who were experiencing the aftermath unleashed by settler colonialism and enslavement; or, as Seman would argue, the generational susto brought on by conquerors and settlers (9).

Borderlands Curanderos: The Worlds of Santa Teresa Urrea and Don Pedrito Jaramillo (University of Texas Press, 2021) follows the biographies of these two Mexican folk healers as they traverse borders during a moment of increased nation-building, as they are implicated in the world of the spiritualist movement, and stand firm in their faith as they are wedged against professional modern medicine. Seman grounds the history of curanderismo in the cross-cultural exchange between European, Native American, and African heritages and practices that depend largely on the belief that there is a connectedness between the mind, body, and spirit. By utilizing institutional and non-institutional archives, newspaper accounts, and built environments in which Santa Teresa and Don Pedrito traversed and are memorialized, Borderlands Curanderos offers a detailed look at their lives. One major thread linking the curanderos is how they negotiated the state and state power during the early 20th century in Mexico and the United States. “It was their extraordinary responses to the failure of institutions that made Santa Teresa and Don Pedro threats – and, in some cases, assets — to the states and institutional authority,” (4) writes Seman. In other words, their medicine did not come from the state, the church, or professional medicine, as argued in her book, but rather from a distinct cultural practice that revitalized the sick. These two healers took on the insurmountable task of tending to people and geographies who were experiencing the aftermath unleashed by settler colonialism and enslavement; or, as Seman would argue, the generational susto brought on by conquerors and settlers (9).

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine made a two-day trip to the U.S-Mexico border last week to visit with Ohio national guard troops that were first deployed there almost one year ago. On our Weekly Reporter Roundtable we discuss the trip and more.
On Thursday's Mark Levin show, the manner is which President Biden is leaving Afghanistan is a disgrace. We have Afghan interpreters who have helped us and the Biden administration won't do everything they can to get them out. We can't win wars if we treat our allies this way. Anyone who crosses the U.S/Mexico border is welcomed but those who are allied with us have to beg to get out of Afghanistan. Later, Rudy Giuliani's license was suspended for defending his client, Donald Trump. Despite all of the corrupt lawyers out there they chose Rudy Giuliani for his affiliation and allegiance to Trump. Then, John Heubusch, Executive Director of the Reagan Foundation, joins the show to announce the only in-person book signing for Mark's new book (to date) to be held at the Reagan Library. The left will try to discredit this movement by attacking this book, this program, and the facts. But, we must all be modern-day Thomas Paine's and get this message out to the masses. Afterward, Democrats across America have no idea what to do to fix the crime problem that they created in big cities across the country. The spike in crime is the result of leftwing judges, prosecutors, and mayors - appointed and elected - that have released criminals from prisons and refused to prosecute crimes in their communities. These policies harm communities of color more than any other community. It's not the police that are harming these communities it's the criminal elements within these communities acting with impunity because of these Democrat policies. Its always been illegal to kill and steal; Democrats have to realize that more laws won't stop people from committing crimes, more cops will.

The Centers for Disease Control is allowing shelters handling child migrants who cross the U.S.-Mexico border to expand to full capacity, abandoning a requirement that they stay near 50% to inhibit the spread of the coronavirus, Axios has learned. Fresh internal documents from the Department of Health and Human Services show how quickly the number of child migrants crossing the border is overwhelming the administration's stretched resources. Greyhound's President and CEO David Leach wrote to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. He told the secretary that when the Department of Homeland Security goes to put an illegal migrant on a Greyhound bus, he expects the agency to have proof of a COVID-19 negative test result. The letter was a request for assistance from DHS as the bus line deals with the surge of illegal migrants at the U.S – Mexico border.
