What will the U.S. government do when it can’t pay? From T.L. Davis at tldavissubstack.com:
Or killing the bill collector
Most people don’t know about the origins of Cinco de Mayo, the American holiday celebrating the Mexican heritage of a great many Southern and Southwestern citizens. As a person intrigued by and enamored of history in general, I recognize that those of us in the Southwestern states understand that our lands have a strong Mexican influence; many Mexican pueblos existed here prior to the landing of the Mayflower, or concurrent to it, including Pueblo, Colorado. That does not give anyone license to illegally jump the border any more than America’s defeat of Mexico in 1846 gives one the right to jump the border and claim some part of Mexico as reparations.
What is interesting is that Mexico doesn’t celebrate Cinco de Mayo, because it’s not their independence day, as so many falsely believe. September 16th is their independence day from New Spain. Except for the small village of Puebla, where the vastly outnumbered Mexican Army defeated the French Army in 1862, Mexico, at least until very recently, didn’t celebrate it at all. It was generally irrelevant to the overall history of the Franco-Mexican War.
The event of the Battle of Puebla would be akin to the Battle of Glorieta Pass, a Civil War battle that took place in New Mexcio near Santa Fe the same year, 1862. The local celebration of that serves as a parallel to Cinco de Mayo in Mexico. That doesn’t detract from the impressive feat of the Mexican Army, but it was not, except as a morale booster, important to the five-year Franco-Mexican War.
Pueblo is the turd in the punchbowl for Commierado.
Always the leader in shootings, thefts, and other crimes.
There are some great deals on weed though and a 1980’s porn star works at one dispensary!
Muh diversity is just more smoke and mirrors delusions, like everything in the GAE.
