Be extremely careful. Document everything you're doing, and why. This is potentially a J6 rerun, and they'll be prosecuting people much more harshly this time.

Or a Truckers Convoy rerun

More harshly??? I guess that’s always possible but there are still people from 2021 sitting there, pending trial. Most have gotten felony sentences for misdemeanor actions. (Probably more election interference to keep them from voting).Suicides resulted from the overcharging. 2 women were murdered by police that day and celebrated for it. I say this so nobody forgets what is still being done to the J6ers.

I wonder if Biden will cut off truckers' access to their bank accounts or the Go Fund Me dollars like Trudeau did?

I would love to see you cover this. Bill Melugin has been one of the few reporters on this for years -- he's done a great job. I think your perspective would be a valuable addition to the conversation.

Yes, can't wait to get Matt's reporting on this. Best download I've seen thus far is from RFK Jr., and his account was stark and eye-opening.

The serendipity of this post by you Matt is frankly astonishing. Last night, my wife & I were talking about the dispute, and neither one of us can understand just what is the justification for having such a porous border.

I'm serious. Look, we check out the NYT daily, and frankly I haven't seen any articles other than Republicans Racist and Baad columns. Sure, alt media if overflowing w/images of fit young men from all sorts of countries swarming into the USA.

But my problem is WHY.

Now that Boston/NYC/ Chicago are feeling the pain, I assumed that there would be some kind of explanation...no, justification for this mess, but no; I haven't found anything.

I'm only aware that The Donald made the border a significant part of his campaign EIGHT YEARS AGO, and yet not a damn thing's been done.

I've seen numbers saying that up to 1 in 20 people living in the USA are here illegally. (My math: 20-30M have arrived; 20M into a pop of 330M is 6%...

WTF?

How is this justified? This is insane, and why the hell isn't DC doing anything? Is congress THAT handcuffed? And not for nothing, Trump really didn't do anything significant in the 4 years he held office.

Finally, I know I'm uniformed; I'm looking for answers though.

Expand full comment

You can repeat this line of questioning for many policy directions of the Democrats today.

Why?

Here is what I think.

The liberal Democrats swelled with pride that the electorate was finally eating their political dog food when Obama was elected and the Democrats took all three branches of the federal government in 2008. Then the 2010 red wave, and even though Obama was elected for a second term his entire terms was one of a split government. And then Trump in 2016. What all of this did was to make liberal Democrats insane with desperation to reverse course.

Note too that the Democrats had become the corporatist establishment party by this time. The new information economy relied primarily on Democrat political connections rather than the old GOP-connections of the industrialized economy.

So what we have is a Wall Street and media backed (Wall Street owns controlling interest in the corporate media) colluded propaganda effort to foment chaos in the system and brand the GOP with responsibility for it. Because the status quo would otherwise mean the Democrats self-destruct as the electorate was absolutely not buying their political dog food.

When the field is not to your advantage, you need to make a different field. The Democrats are the American political and corporate establishment run by the globalist managerial class and ruling class and as the US pulls back from the post Bretton Woods Global Order and seeks to return to a more America-First political agenda, the Democrats have gone to their basement strategy meetings to realize that they can only blow up the entire Great Experiment if they want to retain power.

This is a deconstruction project. Canceling the USA as we know it, and reforming it into a globalist collectivist administrative dystopia where the looting species of human that tends to be liberal Democrat thrive.

We are at war and have been. They have been winning.

Expand full comment

What I find fascinating is the Democrats never understood or even contemplated why Obama lost the Congress in 2010, nor why Trump won after Obama's 8 disasterous years.

Expand full comment

There was a start to this "we need to understand the Turmp voter" movement right after the 2016 defeat, but it was quickly discarded and a lawfare and mediafare war was picked as the strategy instead. And it worked, so it explains why the Democrats are committed to that strategy.

Anyone with a brain could understand that Obama f*cked us in the ass in favor of the bankers. I hate him with the depth of my being.

Expand full comment

I don't hate anyone in the political arena. Hate is too strong an emotion to wield against almost any human. When I see true hate I tend to encourage people to reframe that into something more productive. Frankly, Obama is of a certain type of political animal that I oppose and I think, if gaining power, is unhealthy with respect to the overall human condition. I just politically oppose him and his type, and think that we need to brand him and any like him as unqualified and make sure we don't allow them to be elected.

Expand full comment

While I respect your opinion, I had to fight in our corrupt courts for a decade for my house because Obama, the fucker, was greedy. Rather than helping the 18 million families facing unlawful foreclosure, he decided to take the bribes from Wall Street to pad his pocketbook. That behavior is deserving of my hate. And hate him, I do.

I thought the Dems lost in 2016 because they thought Miss Hillary was a big mean bully-girl and then when she made all the snowflake chuds cry when she called them "deplorables" that was it for Miss Hillary!

Well, Dick's priority has been "the Dreamers" for years. No doubt he (or his wife) will be lobbying on behalf of the six Dreamers who ripped off Macy's the other night.

Meanwhile, the Washington Examiner had a story not long ago about the disagreement between Pritzker and Mayor Brandon about the migrant situation. Mayor Brandon was quoted as saying the Illinois gov has authority to establish migrant centers in any municipality in Illinois. Who knew! Here in small town Illinois, we can't wait for our gov to start exercising THAT authority.

There is a 40 minute documentary you can find on YouTube by a couple very brave you men who go by the name "Muckrackers". They take the entire trip on foot thru South America with the ppl that are flooding our border and those that help them. When you see who funds this it will blow your mind. Must watch in my opinion.

Must see TV video of the route into the US from South America to Mexico border. Of course for this to work it has to be organized. And it’s the UN, IOM International Office of Migration. Great name. The office of the globalists infiltrating the US with drugs, human trafficking, Chinese agents. We are on the clock USA.

Glenn Beck did a Wednesday Night Special on this. The Red Cross and Doctors Without Borders made maps from South America, Panama and Mexico that depict routes, layovers, railways, camps, roads, etc to assist. He also had on Dan Patrick, TX Lt Gov. They talked about Colony Ridge TX, which a billionaire is turning into a community for illegals. I hear about 40,000 lived there now and also the Feds are interested.

The elites are trying to create problems and make mass deportation harder for when Trump takes office next year.

It is now and has always been the replacement plan since the immigration act done in 1965 that introduced chain migration. Porous or open borders are necessary as part of the means to achieve one world order. Ever read Ann Coulter's book Adios America written in 2013?

The cartel runs the border. They solicit drivers from Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, etc. on Instagram even offering $500 sign on bonuses. Those are the sacrificial lambs who will get arrested. The payload of sex slaves, drugs, guns, etc will not get stopped. LE is assigned a spot, and these routes are not used by the cartels, who use the railroad and the route through Uvalde.

I can’t help but have a feeling that the Feds have a “counter” operation planned involving infiltration with a goal to dismantle and disrupt any success this could have for those involved. Be careful and record everything. Store the information (obtained) in different ways. Pay attention to how the MSM reports (or doesn’t report) on this event and then compare it with the facts of reality. The American people are involved in an unannounced war with the Biden administration and the elites who fund him. They have access to tools and resources that the rest of us do not. I’m hoping that we don’t see the freezing of bank accounts or the prosecution of innocent people acting in accordance with their constitutional rights.

Very astute points Julie. Especially about recording every conversation with every person and storing info diversely. Never thought an American journalist would be forced to have to look over his/her shoulder for incoming from his/her own government. If anyone can get the truth, it is Matt.

Matt, please go on to Texas! SC is not unimportant but is sort of fait accompli. But the mass influx of people from all over the world through the wide open boarder, the standoff with Gov. Abbott, millions of military-age male “migrants” released into our country on their own recognizance, even the FBI Director saying he has never seen so many red alarms, and an Iranian young male migrant telling the Boarder Control Agent as he is being released that, “You will hear from us soon enough” — this is fundamental to our national security, to our nation’s future. Here is where we need your honest assessment, reporting and expertise. Please!

Poor Governor Abbott. All he tried to to do was fulfill the wishes of all these progressive sanctuary city mayors by giving them plenty of folks to sanctuary. Now they squeal after getting a mere fraction of the number small Texas cities deal with. So he tries to do them a favor as best he can, and Biden's handlers get pissed. Maybe he should bus them to Canada.
