I&#8217;m sure you are aware he is suing gun companies (claiming that PLCAA does not cover foreign governments so they can sue us for their gun violence &#8211; despite there only being ONE government controlled gun store in the whole country.) Now he is essentially blackmailing us to help control the flood of illegals headed north.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Mexican President Andr\u00e9s Manuel L\u00f3pez Obrador said during a &#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; interview Sunday that the surge of migrants crossing into the U.S. will continue unless President Biden and his administration comply with his demands.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Oh, and he had a few other items on his list.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Obrador had called on the U.S. to send $20 billion a year to Latin American countries, lift sanctions on Venezuela, end the Cuban embargo and legalize millions of Hispanics who have worked and lived in the U.S. for at least a decade.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. has faced an ongoing migrant surge at the southern border under Biden&#8217;s watch, reaching a record <u>2.4 million migrant encounters<\/u> in fiscal year 2023, a sharp uptick from roughly 1.7 million in 2021, according to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data. In December, migrant encounters hit a record 302,000 for the month.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/biden-pay-mexican-presidents-20-083043952.html\">Fox News<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He wants, he wants&#8230; someone remember a phrase about putting want in one hand, sh*t in the other, and see which fills first?<\/p>\n<p>I am thinking he might consider that if THEY did a better job on their Southern border,\u00a0 WE would not have such a problem. Or maybe that if we DID lock down the border, Mexico would be in immediate crisis with all the in-transit illegals they already have.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-146111 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/jhp-300x231.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/jhp-300x231.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/jhp-433x333.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/jhp.jpg 582w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Seems like the Czechs and others are seriously interested in Vista Outdoor&#8217;s (which we all called by its best known subsidiary name, Remington)\u00a0 ammunition makers.<\/p>\n<p>If you recall, Remington entered bankruptcy and sold off its big-name subdivisions &#8211; for instance, Marlin is now owned by Ruger (who is doing a dandy job of resurrecting Marlin&#8217;s lever actions.)\u00a0 When they split the company,\u00a0 the subsidiary that makes ammunition (Kinetic) went to the Czechoslovak Group (CSG) based in Prague. This is not to be confused with Ceska Zbrojovka&#8217;s Colt ownership, Colt CZ, despite the similarity in names.\u00a0 Seems Colt-CZ made an offer to buy Kinetic recently at $30\/share, which was declined. Now we have a Texas based buyer, MNC Capital, raising the ante by raising their bid from $35 to bidding about $37.50 a share, who wants to take the ammo group private again. Noting that this is an existing Army contractor (Camelbaks and ammo) this is a purchase we should be watching, especially since they are one of the biggest suppliers in the world of the primers that go into all small-arms ammo larger than .22s.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/money\/companies\/plans-to-sell-federal-ammunition-to-czech-company-progress-as-us-group-makes-another-offer\/ar-BB1kA7fp\">MSN<\/a>\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2024\/03\/07\/vista-outdoor-cfius-deadline\">Axios<\/a>\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/news.vistaoutdoor.com\/newsroom\/press-releases\/press-release-details\/2023\/Vista-Outdoor-Rejects-Unsolicited-Proposal-from-Colt-CZ\/default.aspx\">Vista press release<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First up:\u00a0 Mexican President Maduro Obrador has made some unusual demands on us lately.
