Texas National Guard troops remain stationed in Elwood, Illinois, costing taxpayers millions In Illinois, 200 Texas troops have been sent to Elwood and have spent about 30 days so far, costing taxpayers nearly $3.5 million.

The only affordability in fascism is for fascists and war mongers.

Deploying 200 National Guard to Elwood, Illinois for 30 days cost nearly $3.5 million.

Deploying 4,000 National Guard and U.S. Marines to Los Angeles was estimated to cost $134 million.

It has now been confirmed that the US invaders that crossed into Mexico to illegally place DOD signs on Mexican territory were US military contractors (possibly Marines disguised as civilians), the US has yet to issue an apology but admits to the action calling it a "mistake."

The image shows Mexican businessman Ricardo Salinas Pliego (center, green shirt) and Turkish television personality Acun Ilฤฑcalฤฑ (left, black shirt) on a yacht.

Ricardo Salinas Pliegoโ€™s political reach extends far beyond Mexicoโ€™s borders. Over the past decade, he has cultivated ties with influential figures in the United States, particularly within the Republican Party and networks aligned with former President Donald Trump. A U.S. subsidiary of Grupo Salinas donated $250,000 to Trumpโ€™s 2017 presidential inauguration committee, placing him among a small circle of foreign-linked business interests that publicly supported the incoming administration. In the years that followed, a political action committee tied to his U.S. operations contributed to Trumpโ€™s re-election effort and more than $289,000 to Republican candidates and committees during the Trump presidency. Signaling a clear engagement with GOP power structures and Trumpโ€™s network of influence.

The overlap does not end with donations to the Trump campaign. Salinas Pliego has also surfaced in the corporate intelligence world, where his legal disputes have intersected with firms connected to Israeli intelligence. Reporting from Intelligence Online indicates that during a high-stakes financial conflict with businessman Val Sklarov, hiring Black Cube, a company founded by former members of Israelโ€™s security services. Black Cube is already familiar in U.S. political circles. In 2017 and 2018, multiple investigations by major outlets revealed that aides to Donald Trump or actors aligned with his policy goals had contracted with Black Cube in connection with efforts to undermine the Iran nuclear agreement. The firm was reported to have targeted former Obama administration officials Ben Rhodes and Colin Kahl, looking for compromising personal or financial information that could be used to discredit them.

The firm was reported to have targeted former Obama administration officials Ben Rhodes and Colin Kahl, looking for compromising personal or financial information that could be used to discredit them.

Several of Salinasโ€™s public statements have echoed core Trump Republican messaging, including skepticism of state regulation, denunciations of โ€œsocialistโ€ policies, and advocacy for market-driven reforms. During the Trump presidency, he publicly defended U.S. trade pressure on Mexico and praised Trumpโ€™s economic approach. His media and corporate messaging often mirror themes common in right-wing circles, emphasizing limited government oversight and hostility toward regulations that affect telecommunications, banking, and large-scale retail lending.

In 2025, Salinas launched a right-wing political initiative in Mexico that shared stylistic similarities with global far-right regressive movements tied to Russia, Israel, and Trump. His call for a citizen-led movement against โ€œcrime and corruptionโ€ drew heavily on the rhetoric of โ€œtaking back the country,โ€ a phrase central to the former U.S. presidentโ€™s political identity. While not publicly affiliated with any U.S. political organization, his messaging and political posture place him squarely within the ideological and influence orbit of contemporary regressive populism. Salinasโ€™s corporate empire depends on a regulatory environment that favors private industry, helps him evade taxes, and limits federal regulations that protect ordinary people.

This is Ricardo Salinas Pliego, Mexicoโ€™s oligarch, who has donated to Trump and is currently trying to overthrow the Mexican government to avoid paying taxes and a deeper money laundering investigation into his cartel tied casinos.

"Yup, Jeffrey Epstein was Right About Donald Trump."

Epstein, one of the worst human beings, said Trump didn't possess "one decent cell in his body." His behavior this week proves that Trump only cares about himself, his safety, & his vulgar appetites.

Trump's "new" peace plan for Ukraine is just the same 2022 Russian demands of giving up territory and disarming Ukraine so that Ukraine will easier to attack and conquer as soon as Russia is ready to resume the war. Trump continues to work for Putin.

Interesting conversation on Italian tv. Notice how they mention Trump toward the end as an example of corruption.

The host tried to push the pro Russian narrative, and the guest shut him down.
