One-third of the population of Tapachula, Mexico, is now made up of migrants who plan to cross the border. Todd Bensman, a senior fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, explains that these 150,000 immigrants are trapped behind a militarized cordon of Mexican military operation, in order “to keep them from creating a political spectacle at our border.” “This goes back to a deal that was done in December of 2023, in order to reduce the total numbers that were being seen crossing and driving the polls down. So 150,000 is an astronomical number that are hemmed up here in this enclave, this migrant kind of Gaza Strip, if you will,” he tells Jill Savage and Matthew Peterson of “Blaze News Tonight.” The migrants in Tapachula “are in absolute torment,” as all the resources available to them have been used up. “The people are sleeping on the streets, there’s no room in shelters, there’s no room in the hotels, and they just keep pile-driving in because they fear that Donald Trump is going to win,” Bensman says. “There’s a real sense of urgency among the immigrants here, and they’ve started to form caravans to kind of force their way out of Tapachula, to escape Tapachula,” he continues. “There’s about another thousand or 2,000 forming up right now in downtown Tapachula to get ready to push on to another city down here, providing that the Mexican military will let them pass.” These immigrants aren’t just from Mexico; they’re from all over the world. “All of them just sort of keep coming with this hope that soon the Mexicans will relent and let them through. And that’s the big question: Will the Mexicans relent on the deal that they made with Biden at the time he was running for office?” Bensman asks. Peterson is shocked. “We’re old enough to remember, all of us here, when kids in cages were a terrible thing. Now, it’s hundreds of thousands of kids can go missing and it’s fine here. You have cities in cages,” he says. “Not a single person is talking about this in legacy media. It’s insane,” he adds.

An economic collapse in the communist controlled economy of Cuba is straining its relations with communist China resulting in an unexpected report. Cuba experienced a massive electrical blackout due to deteriorating infrastructure and damaging embargoes from the U.S., but rather than implement free market solutions, the communist government insists on failing with ideological purity. 'The strained relationship is reflected in a precipitous drop of Chinese imports to Cuba, which went from $1.7 billion in 2017 to $1.1 billion.' According to a report in the Financial Times, Chinese officials are exasperated with their Caribbean island compatriots. They cite economists and diplomats briefed in the situation between China and Cuba. The sources said that China publicly supported Cuba's vertically planned economy, but in private, Chinese officials have urged the island regime to follow the Chinese economic model with market-oriented elements. The report said Chinese officials are "perplexed and frustrated" at Cuban leaders overlooking glaring disfunction in order to perpetuate the state-run economy. The strained relationship is reflected in a precipitous drop of Chinese imports to Cuba, which went from $1.7 billion in 2017 to $1.1 billion only five years later. Cuba is in its fourth day without power to about 10 million residents. Communist leaders blamed U.S. embargoes for the worsening power situation, but U.S. officials denied the accusations. "The United States is not to blame for today's blackout on the island, or the overall energy situation in Cuba," said the spokesperson for the White House National Security Council. Some Cuban residents have protested against the government's failures by banging pots and pans while disrupting traffic. Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel responded by warning that the government was "not going to allow acts of vandalism and much less alter the tranquility of our people.”The situation is expected to deteriorate even more after Hurricane Oscar made landfall on Sunday in Cuba.

Although The Hill certainly can’t be accused of being in Donald Trump’s corner and, as far as I can tell, has leaned left throughout this presidential campaign, its reporters lost no time telling us that Kamala Harris messed up her interview with Bret Baier on Fox News. The Hill’s description of the interview used the word “disaster” several times to underscore the truly appalling character of Harris’ clumsy attempts to grapple with Baier’s questioning.Contrary to the totally dishonest defense that the vice president received in much of the corporate left-wing media, The Hill further explained that American media was responsible for Kamala’s interview catastrophe.If Baier seemed to be interrupting Harris repeatedly, he had every reason to do so. She was filibustering.The legacy media, according to The Hill, never bothered to give our vice president any serious questions. The media avoided asking her those obvious things that Baier brought up in the narrow 20-minute interview that Kamala’s handlers granted him. For example, when exactly did she learn that the president under whom she was serving was afflicted with senile dementia? For years, Harris never let on that she grasped that glaringly obvious reality. She went on praising Joe Biden’s mental acumen, up until the moment Democratic kingmakers installed her as their presidential nominee. The friendly media should have been asking Kamala about why she hid Biden’s frailty. If the media had done its job, she might have had a reasonable response to Baier’s query.The interview for me raised another question: Why would Kamala’s handlers have permitted her to undergo the ordeal of an unscripted interview?Their candidate had been running neck-and-neck with and possibly slightly ahead of Trump for about two months, and it might have been possible to run out the clock without exposing Harris to a systematic grilling courtesy of a relentlessly thorough interviewer. By now it’s clear that she doesn’t think fast on her feet; and she’s already “unburdened herself” of multiple, embarrassing word salads when responding to effusively friendly talk show hosts. It might have been best, her advisers should have reasoned, not to put her into a demanding situation that was above her pay grade. (I think we can all agree with Trump that this lady is not very smart.)The one time Harris apparently ventured out beyond tightly controlled situations was during her debate with Trump in September. But even then, she had been allowed to rattle off memorized lines, mostly depicting her opponent as a fascist ogre. And this debate took place under the aegis of biased moderators, who acted as if they were Kamala’s loving babysitters. I suspect her handlers agreed to that short interview with Baier because they thought it would be a win-win situation. Her appearance on Fox News would create the impression that she was reaching out to Republicans, just as Trump went into strongly blue areas to appeal to possible voters there. Presumably at least some Fox viewers — anti-Trump Republicans — could be won over to vote blue. Since the time permitted for that interview kept getting whittled down, from half an hour to about 20 minutes, Kamala would not be exposing herself to the unknown for very long.Her handlers further assumed that Kamala could get by during the abbreviated interview by rehashing the anti-Trump rhetoric that she had dutifully recited for the debate. Please note that the most animated responses that she gave to Baier’s questions were restatements of what she had unleashed against Trump. She, therefore, went back to the same invectives even if they didn’t relate to the questions Baier asked during the interview. If Baier seemed to be interrupting her repeatedly, he had every reason to do so. Harris was filibustering. Instead, she launched into anti-Trump rants as the questioning proceeded, and that made the interview difficult to conduct.Perhaps the major factor that got Harris and her team to accept the interview was the choice of the interviewer. Although a celebrity on a Republican-leaning channel, Baier is not known to bear any affection for Donald Trump. He has never held back from going after Trump’s claim to have won the 2020 presidential race. He also plays up “bigly” his mediating role in seeking “common ground” with Democrats.If I were a Democrat deciding to be interviewed on a Republican channel, I would have been truly delighted if Baier were the one asking the questions. What happened, however, was not at all what Harris expected. Baier came out, entirely to his credit, asking tough, well-phrased questions and tried to keep his interviewee from segueing into her anti-Trump invective. That and being for nationwide unrestricted abortion rights for women continue to be Kamala’s only talking points, when she’s not belaboring her listener with unintelligible word salads.Quite predictably, the leftist media went after Baier for not doing what was expected of him, which was helping to get Harris elected. But Baier wouldn’t release his quarry, a decision for which he should be commended.

A 14-year-old boy punched a drug-pushing male in the head after the male lunged at the teen last month in Pueblo, Colorado. With that, the male fell and hit his head on the street — and died weeks later. Pueblo police said they believe the teen was acting in self-defense, KOAA-TV reported.The station said the Pueblo County Coroner's Office will release the identity of the male in question at a later time.Around 5 p.m. Sept. 27, police arrived in the 1100 block of York Street — which is located near the East 4th Street and Highway 50 interchange — and said the boy was providing aid to a male "experiencing homelessness," the station reported. Police told KOAA they learned the male approached the boy and asked him if he wanted to "smoke drugs." Police told the station the boy declined and tried to leave, but the male continued to try to talk to the boy.With that, the male lunged at the boy, and the boy punched the male in the head, KOAA said.Police said the male fell and hit his head on the street, the station reported, adding that he was taken to a hospital, where he died from his injuries Oct. 12. Police told KOAA they believe the teenager acted in self-defense, and at the moment, no charges have been filed against the boy. The station said the Pueblo County Coroner's Office will release the identity of the male in question at a later time. Police added to KOAA that they're still investigating the case, and if you have any information about the incident to call Det. Shay at 719-553-2445. The station also said if you want to remain anonymous, you can call Pueblo Crime Stoppers at 719-542-7867. - YouTube youtu.be Like Blaze News?
