Mexican Bitch Lit the Flames in L.A.

 Childers is a font of knowledge.  From his latest column:

... You never heard about a teeny-tiny provision buried in Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, but the short paragraph made Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum denounce the United States in a fiery tirade that Evita Perón would have loved. She promptly shipped a team of diplomats to DC (with tacos), to lobby the Senate to stop the bill— a panicked response that the oddly named president never even tried during the tariffs crisis....

 ...Buried deep in Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill — in a footnote somewhere between fencing specs and visa quotas — was a real bombshell: a modest 5% tax on remittances, i.e., money shipped out of the U.S. by non-citizens.

In political terms, it was like taxing oxygen.

It was the end of Del Mundo! Denouncing the proposed remittance tax as “unacceptable,” Sheinbaum yelled, "If necessary, we will mobilize! We do not want taxes on remittances from our compatriots!”...

"Mobilize"?

You mean like taking violent action, Claudia??

Sheinbaum's call-to-action came twice:  once in mid-May, and again on June 4th--two days before the mostly-peaceful fires, looting, attacks on police and ICE, and using the pre-staged cinder blocks began.  (The remittances provide $64 Billion to Sheinbaum's failed state.)

'Black Jack' Pershing, where are you when we need you?

There's more.

 ...You might think 5% is nothing, less than sales tax. And you might think foreign governments wouldn’t care, since the money flows directly to their “poorest” families. You might wonder why remittance taxes instantly became the Mexican presidentress’ top priority.

The answer is because it’s not really charity. It’s revenue. Those remittances get spent, deposited, and heavily taxed— both on arrival and when what’s left gets spent. They prop up shaky banking systems, inflate local currencies, and keep whole rural economies just stable enough to avoid revolt. In many countries, they’re a top national income source — bigger than tourism, oil, or trade surpluses. Mexico alone pulled in nearly $65 billion last year, more than it made exporting cars or oil.

So when Trump proposes to shave a tiny sliver off the top, Claudia’s concern is not really about fairness — she’s fretting about a direct threat to the global grift’s business model....

Enough about that bitch.  Now to the Press:

... How awful is corporate media? You literally can’t make this stuff up. One ABC reporter actually told viewers that it might be “unwise to send in law enforcement” because the L.A. riots were “just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn.” That’s a direct quote, not satire. It came from an actual newscast aired on a major American network while fires lit up the sky behind them....

So it's now "Mostly peaceful FUN."

Last week, a poll revealed that 'trust in the Press' was down to 30% or so.  How the Hell did it get that high?

So a woman with a very unusual 'Mexican' name called for 'mobilization,' after which riots broke out in L.A. and the Press calls the riots "fun."

IOW, another day ending in "y".
