I think this is why DJT was raised up to be President - to bring justice. He has said "I am your retribution". Blanche is bringing it.

Raul Castro is the Uncle of former Canadian PM Justin Trudeau. Maybe JT can visit him in prison.

Hopefully the end to Mexico's remittances as well!

Marty Kiner's avatar

I believe Walmart allows money to be sent to Mexico at their service desk for a fee. Wonder how much they take in for that service?

mary's avatar

So does Kroger

THEY should be prosecuted.

Doesn’t the US Postal Service also?

I agree Dave, What a fabulous post today from Childers to again help demonstrate how damned hard thus President is working for the American people, our country, our Constitution.

nancy knox-bierman's avatar

yes, thank him when you cannot afford to drive.

Dan L's avatar

This Karen, with this stupid comment, and with the two last names earns the first block of the day.

RunningLogic's avatar

Also if you take an average of the super low prices we had for a few months before the higher prices, it is pretty much a wash. Not any higher than they were before and maybe a bit lower than during the Biden administration on average.

Dan (100% All in MAGA)'s avatar

Yep that is precisely correct running logic. It's astonishing to me how these clueless liberals can't see that. $10 a gallon gas? Well that is simply gas lighting b******* meant to be divisive not at all constructive but that's the way Liberals are. But for the record I'll take the $10 a gallon gas if it helps Trump re-establish America make our country great again and stop all of the grifting which has been going on all around the world at the expense of the American people!

Yeah, a 95 year old from another country is so important for justice, while the criminals in high places still walk freely.

If those four young men, that Castro blew out of the sky, were your kids, you may feel differently.

Johnny-O's avatar

The death and misery the US has placed on Cubans doesn't even light a candle this. People are so clueless on the history it is painful - like the US blowing up a civilian airliner for one, killing many more people than 4. Here is some additional context in this interview:

Inverted Pyramid's avatar

You are disingenuous with your “Cubans” reference. It’s the Cuban government that prevents the citizens from their enjoying life since they are captive to the government policies.

Keep defending the indefensible, it’s actually entertaining…

Johnny-O's avatar

I'm trying to provide context. Do you think the US gov would let the Cubans fly planes over our country and drop pamplets to incite riots and destablize the government? And put that in the context of decades of sanctions and attempted coups...... That isn't defending anyone, it's simply looking at it both ways, which apparently you are unable to do.

Dan L's avatar

You are an idiot! Trump wasn't involved in all the prior bad acts, but he is damn sure working to fix it all. And your TDS prevents you seeing or acknowledging it. GFY.

Inverted Pyramid's avatar

You conveniently left out the Mariel boat lift and the radio broadcast from Cuba going over our airwaves. Keep on defending a regime that suppresses freedom…

nancy knox-bierman's avatar

Thank you!! These people have not studied this at all. Our government was forbidding them from bringing rafters back here. Instead they were used to spy and drop propaganda on Cubans.

nancy knox-bierman's avatar

Have you ever heard of US sanctions, bro? There is a reason all the cars are 1950'd classics.

Inverted Pyramid's avatar

You’re saying that we are required to conduct trade with Cuba?

They were not young and they were not children. The founder self-claimed to be a CIA operative and they were not saving anyone. Read stupid Wikipedia or something please.

And Johnny the TDS LOSER earns the second block of the day.

Politico Phil's avatar

Well, I agree with you JohnnyO but I think we know that these kind of things happen only when it serves the broader agenda. Anyone who thinks this means our two-tier justice system - rules for thee but none for me - is going away is dreaming. In this case, as in Venezuela, Castro's impending arrest further facilitates the implementation of Trump's National Security Strategy which involves kicking China's influence out of our hemisphere.

As for our two-tier justice system, we should remember we STILL have murderous sociopaths walking the streets in America simply because they control so much money. When Bill Gates is charged and arrested for mass murder, then I will have hope that maybe our justice system is changing.

But I do not believe Trump is here to right the justice system for America. Trump is a billionaire oligarch and his allegiance lies with the American oligarch class.

The Bioengineered Tick Invasion Was Planned A Long Time Ago

"Bill Gates, specifically, is in the process of breeding genetically modified bugs..."

....It’s a devious cycle of destruction but it always goes the same way: create the disease, then sell the cure. And the cure is always worse than the disease.

JacquelineP's avatar

I’m NO fan of Justin Trudeau but the unsubstantiated claim he’s the son of Castro has long passed being funny and is actually rather tiresome (full disclosure- I’m Canadian).

Skeeve's avatar

I actually think it's highly probable he's Fidel's son.

DDForTruth's avatar

It was never meant to be "funny," and no, it ain't tiresome.

If a Cuban dictator's off spring was parachuted into leadership by way of hair, socks, legalized marijuana and 'last name,' the public has a right to know, don'tcha think?

You say it hasn't been substantiated.

Neither has it been unsubstantiated, and quite frankly, the odds are leaning far more into it than not.

Sometimes, a picture is worth a thousand words.

You may be ok with this type of "leadership" politicking, but I certainly am not.

RE national-level anti-corruption campaigns: DOJ, do Ukraine next. Please!

RE stealing classified federal documents: DOJ, do Sandy Berger next. Pretty please!

Dave aka Geezermann's avatar

Ahh, yes, didn't Berger take docs from the National Archives?

Free in Florida's avatar

Yes, he stuffed stolen documents into his socks and clothing!

Vet nor's avatar

Wasn't he pardoned by Clinton? Or did they say he didn't mean to and dropped the case. Even though he admitted destroying documents, as I recall. I could be wrong

Free in Florida's avatar

Hey Vet nor - I had to look this up. No pardon by Clinton as occurred after Clinton had left office. Pled guilty & plea deal - misdemeanor charge - two years of probation, $50,000 fine, no security clearance for 3 years & relinquished law license.

Vet nor's avatar

Ah, thanks. I wasnt sure what happened with that. As I said.

Seems like a light touch

Good morning, C&C, from the beautiful Pacific Northwest! 'Twil be clear and sunny today, if the sunrise over the mountain behind our house is any indication.

RunningLogic's avatar

Good morning! Enjoy the sunshine! Here it’s grey, cool and cloudy.

St. Alia the Knife's avatar

In the last couple of weeks we have gone from low to mid 80s to the low 50s, and now back up into the 70s. Spring in the PNW, whatcha gonna do? 😆

Mrs. "the Knife"

RunningLogic's avatar

Same here! It’s been very changeable but that’s also typical for the Midwest.

Donna in MO's avatar

Same in MO, and loving it - perfect weather for getting yard work done, and the last of the flowers planted - 'no sweat'!

RunningLogic's avatar

It’s definitely better running weather than what we had the few days before! 🥵

Mrs. M.'s avatar

Same in PA🌥️

Valerie's avatar

Here in Houston it’s rainy and will be for the foreseeable future. You need to come get your weather and take it back home. 😂

St. Alia the Knife's avatar

😂😂😂 I had to laugh - your comment brought to mind a memory from early in our marriage. We had moved to Denver due to the Mr.'s job. While talking to my mama one day in April, she mentioned that she had not seen the sun in 5 months. My sister and I hatched a plan to surprise her with a plane ticket to Denver, where they advertise over 320 days of sunshine per year. I invited my aunt (Mama's sister) in Albuquerque to bring her family for a visit to add to the surprise. Imagine my surprise when it rained, nay, POURED, PNW-style, the entire Memorial Day weekend! We joked that she had brought the weather with her! The sun finally reappeared as I was taking her back to the airport.

We did move back to the PNW, obviously. 😂

We always blame the out of state visitors for our extreme weather. FL is a miserable weather state. 😆

St. Alia the Knife's avatar

😂 The Mr. has family in AZ; whenever his aunt and her family would come up for a visit, they were looking forward to the rain. Invariably, it would sunny their entire visit!!

Mrs. "the Knife"

Donna in MO's avatar

Memorial day weekend was a red letter day (weekend) for us as kids and for our kids as that is the weekend the swimming pools open. And it nearly almost always rains that weekend here in MO! SO FAR, forecast is for sunny and warm on Sun and Mon this year so maybe our neighborhood kids get a chance to dive in!

That is hilarious!! 😆 The best laid plans…! 😁

Best deep dive on the Cuban political underbelly I've ever read.Todd Blanche is the new Dirty Harry - he takes no mess.

Still cannot accept how corrupt the Biden DOJ was, cake recipes? GTFOH.

Point of order: The Democratic Party establishment and its political leaders are not interested in Justice. They are interested in the judicial system agreeing with them, no matter what. https://torrancestephensphd.substack.com/p/fighting-and-dying-for-segregation

Janine Melnitz's avatar

Unfortunately Trump’s admin is starting to look more corrupt than Biden. The billions that have been won on insider trading regarding this war is incredulous. The fact that Loomer has any say in this administration says it all. The republicans are toast in the midterms

NAB's avatar

Totally agree about Loomer. Yuck.

Franklin O'Kanu's avatar

Janine - I wrote back in May 2025 that the Trump admin was looking like Kamala — almost a year ago and here we are saying the same thing: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/trump-is-starting-to-look-a-lot-like

Yes it started back last June when he abruptly called the Epstein files a hoax. He started off so well… now here we are. I wouldn’t have ever believed it after he was elected that we would be in the 💩

There are intelligent people starting to say it is the most corrupt administration in history - which says a lot. And there is still nearly 3 years left.

No "intelligent people" say that. Hacks, paid phonies and imbeciles say that.

Johnny-O's avatar

Cue the morons who only listen to neocon news....

I heard Biden passed a law that the IRS can't audit his tax returns any longer.

Oh wait, that was Trump.

You guys are so spineless its sickening.

Rightly So's avatar

Please do tell: "Trump passed a law that the IRS can't audit his tax returns any longer." You KNOW that statement is 100% bullshit! If you don't know, you're ignorant for saying it. READ the actual FACTS of the case, please, rather than vomiting pure political propaganda. Without going deep, I'll just say, "Nice try."

Inverted Pyramid's avatar

Apparently, you didn’t realize that the IRS was conducting the “audit” illegally.

Of course, not one quote or reference… typical.

I forget how long he can serve as 'acting' before he has to be confirmed - is it before or after the midterms? One more reason to make sure we secure the House and Senate regardless.

Donna, a quick check says Blanche can serve 210 days, and possibly longer if a permanent AG is not confirmed.

James Goodrich's avatar

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Time doesn’t change the common problems of man or the solutions to those problems. History shows, understanding what has worked and what hasn’t is the beginning of positive constructive solutions.

The Roman statesman Cato the Elder famously observed that "the average Roman doesn’t care about what the legions are doing in foreign lands. He cares about the pebble in his shoe." He used this metaphor, originally from Cicero, to explain that citizens are motivated by immediate, daily, personal problems right in front of them, rather than grand geopolitical events happening far away. The price of bread, grain, meat was first on the list.

The pebble was Cicero's metaphor for a nagging conscience, Cato's metaphor was meant for localized, personal problems. The crisis of rising prices on common items was the constant topic for government. Rising prices, inflation, later on was handled by Diocletian's with price controls. This turned into an economic disaster, all sound familiar? It opened up black markets on commonly needed things. Both metaphors using the pebble in the shoe were separate historical concepts but both have significant connecting meaning today.

I feel that pebble in my shoe today knowing I have to go (overpriced) food shopping after a long hard days work and struggle having to pay for it with a credit card. It’s difficult for me to not to ask the obvious question, what happened to no foreign wars and America first?

Free in Florida's avatar

Hi James, I look at it a bit differently. I do think Trump is doing exactly what he said about putting America first. This is short term pain for long term happiness and well being. If Iran is the bad actor they have been for almost 50 years and has spread terror throughout the world Without a nuclear weapon, we need to imagine what they would be With one. We have to deal with this now or pay enormous and awful consequences on down the road. It’s worth it to me. Keep the faith!

Also, I agree with RunningLogic that a few prices seem to be coming down here also (in northwest Florida.) I have always shopped specials on food and was delighted to see some amazing specials on beef this week!

VelvetStitching's avatar

AND what would have happened if Pres O'Bummer hadn't sent pallets with billions in CASH to Iran to fund their terrorism.

And if O'Biden (O'Bummer) hadn't left 83 billion $ of American military equipment in Afghanistan.....

Yeah - I am thankful for the short-term pain - it think if it like the exercise idiom: "No pain, no gain!" President Trump is cleaning up! Go ahead and take out the trash! (and even: "Here - I'll help!")

God clean up America and then God bless America!

🇺🇸 👍🏼🙂

We just purchased 1/4 of beef ~$1100@ $3.50/# locally. Best price since Trump 45!

Prices are coming down? Consumer inflation index was the highest in April that it has been in years. Bravo team Trump. Let's do more wars!

CStone's avatar

Funny. I can walk and chew gum at the same time. I can worry about the pebble in my shoe and National/International ‘stuff’ at the same time too. And the things that are happening both nationally and internationally need to be done now……i.e. (insert the old bromide) “Make hay while the sun is shining”.

LTMW

RunningLogic's avatar

Right, plus I also think that people in Roman times were much less affected in their daily lives by global events than we are today. Just look at the Chinese shipping container scheme for a recent example.

RunningLogic's avatar

It’s funny, I actually have noticed some prices coming down where I live. I’m not sure why there is such a discrepancy because I know others have said their prices are still high too.

Valerie's avatar

I’ve noticed it as well. My college kid is home and still my groceries are less than they were a couple of months ago. Not a huge amount, but noticeable.

shayne's avatar

I noticed Aldi prices, on some of their goods, have dropped.

RunningLogic's avatar

Same. For example, avocados were 99 cents there for quite some time but now they’re .49/.59. I’ve seen prices on several of my regularly purchased items at Kroger and other stores come down too, either better sale prices or lower regular prices or both.

Free in Florida's avatar

Yes, avocados were 60 cents here yesterday.

Lori's avatar

I will have to respectfully disagree on this one James although the post is very good to ponder. These deeds directly affect our homeland and my tax dollars so I for one say go get them boys. I wish I could be part of what the admin is doing. I am a pitbull, won't stop and would work gratis for our country. I live very frugally and use coupons and other strategies to save on food or other items. If too expensive, I don't purchase certain items.

Inverted Pyramid's avatar

Part of Cicero’s point was that the time it took to hear about what was happening with the foreign legion. When the people heard the news, the campaign was already over yet everyday life hadn’t changed.

CStone's avatar

Now it’s ALL happening all over the place, so fast that it is almost breathtaking. It’s happening locally, nationally and internationally.

I pray that Barry and his cohorts are very, very afraid.

RunningLogic's avatar

Which is very different from our almost instantaneous reception of news from faraway places.

Welp, as far as remittances go, the mexican government, whilst claiming to help the Biden team crack down on illegal immigration, was actually sending people here knowing they would be sending money back. It’s the method of operations. Has been for decades.

There’s a little border town in Arizona called Lukeville. The town’s population is around 40 people yet there are over 200 rented P.O. Boxes. Mexicans cross the border, stick their key into their P.O. Box and grab the check…
