It turns out we actually do have a news media in this country. Unfortunately it’s in Spanish:
Spanish-language television network Univision plans to air a television special that it said reveals more violence than previously known, as well as the stories of how many more Operation Fast and Furious victims were killed, the network announced in a Friday release.
“The consequences of the controversial ‘Fast and Furious’ undercover operation put in place by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) in 2009 have been deadlier than what has been made public to date,” the network said. “The exclusive, in-depth investigation by Univision News’ award-winning Investigative Unit — Univision Investiga — has found that the guns that crossed the border as part of Operation Fast and Furious caused dozens of deaths inside Mexico.”
Among other groups of Fast and Furious victim stories Univision says it will tell in the special to air Sunday evening at 7 p.m., is one about how “16 young people attending a party in a residential area of Ciudad Juárez in January of 2010″ were gunned down with weapons the Obama administration gave to drug cartel criminals through Fast and Furious.
“Univision News’ Investigative Unit was also able to identify additional guns that escaped the control of ATF agents and were used in different types of crimes throughout Mexico,” the network added. “Furthermore, some of these guns — none of which were reported by congressional investigators — were put in the hands of drug traffickers in Honduras, Puerto Rico, and Colombia. A person familiar with the recent congressional hearings called Univision’s findings ‘the holy grail’ that Congress had been searching for.”
The show will be in Spanish with English subtitles. Check your local listings for exact time and channel numbers in your area.

If this is on at the same time everywhere then I’ll do an open thread tomorrow so we can discuss it.
I just saw my first Romney ad on television. It was one with Artur Davis and I saw it on AMC
DWTS, AMC ….. what’s going on Klown?
Lifetime and Style can’t be far behind …….
I was watching Tombstone. AMC is the home of the best damn show on television.
BTW – Tombstone is a crappy movie even if you don’t care about historical accuracy.
Pretty boring!
Evil and the masses are too disinterested to say “enough with this psycho shit!”
So we have to go to the foreign press & the Spanish language/Latino owned & operated TV station to get the actual “news” about what is going on in this country.
How long before we’re not allowed to even do that?
Best simple piece I’ve read on the Laffer curve. Fair, hits both sides for how they exagerate and misuse it at times.

The results are not what is important. As idiot Obama said when Hillary and Stephanopolis tried to explain it to him, its an ideological pathology about fairness.
I first heard about the Laffer curve way back in 1980. I didn’t know until a few months ago what it really meant.
It gets a bad rap because some idiots use it to say tax cuts ALWAYS increase revenue. That is not what the theory ever said. Same way other idiots use Keynes to justify endless forever deficit spending. Um, no.
I hope Univision eats his lunch. About time someone did.
I’m glad you posted this. Sharing on the P&L and RD facebook page tomorrow. Anthony & I will also discuss it on This American Election tomorrow.
Why don’t you share it here too? Along with a reminder about the show.
Interesting that Univision is putting this out there. They don’t do shit in Mexico where the tally for murder is 35,000+. Why don’t they also take a deep look at the corruption in Mexico? Scared? Probably.
I’d keep my mouth shut too. The Mexican gangs don’t hesitate to kill cops. If they can’t get to you they’ll kill your friends and family.
Sadly, I must tell you that there is no difference between the either the government or the cartels of Mexico. They are one in the same. Now, the cartels sit fairly well established here in this country.
Their most dangerous city has lost 1/4 of its population. It’s not really lost, because they just moved over the border.
Geez, a 300′ tower just found.
http://www.toledonewsnow.com/story/19671161/mexico-finds-cartel-radio-network-300-foot-tower
They already have tunnels under the border and submarines. I’m surprised they don’t have their own satellite.
Or maybe they do.
Damn — were have I been? I missed the fact that Eugene Genovese (famous Marxist & Southern historian who later in life rejected communism & became a conservative) died 3 days ago. I guess I’m paying way, way too much attention the the crap MSNBC is pulling.
Anyway, there is a really good interview on Genovese at NRO from 2011 here if you want a good read:

Money quote:
Dinesh D’Souza said at the end of 2016 that electing a Black president was an accomplishment of the voters (not Obama). I wish we had waited for that accomplishment until a good candidate came along.
We had a good one remember.She is S.O.S. now.
I found this part interesting because Genovese makes a distinction between the 1965 Young Republicans (same people that became big G.W.B. supporters) and conservatives. I agree with him. I’m also not surprised when a communist becomes a conservative. imho. Both ideologies are not that far apart.
Holy crap! I had just dozed off when I got a huge jolt! I was at the epicenter of a 3.4 earthquake in Irving, Texas. We don’t have earthquakes in Texas!
3.4 is not a huge jolt. It’s not even enough to stir your coffee.
It startled me awake. I felt the 3.3 from oklahoma last year. I’m right on top of the 3.4. Scary.
It was less than 2 miles from my house. Just down the street from Four Seasons right by an Ace Cash express family dollar.
I was 10 miles from the epicanter of the Loma Prieta (World Series) earthquake. That one scored a 6.9
Some of the aftershocks were bigger than 4.0
MYIQ
I was in Philadelphia and talking to a trainmaster at Oakland station on the phone when it hit. they has just gotten the passengers out of the station and on the train. It did a lot of damage to the train station.
we don’t even stop the trains unless it is at least 5.1.
hahaha
Woah, that doesn’t happen too often there.
http://pjmedia.com/rogerlsimon/2012/09/29/benghazi-worse-than-watergate/
I read this article and watched the video. then I went to the cnn site to see the video of the banghazi raid
I was very surprised to see that the video was not allowed the be shown in this country
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xhpj7p_benghazi-attacked_news
this was the first time I had ever seen that.
And I’m told that China censors internet viewing as if that’s unusual. WTF?
Interesting note here: I was driving home just now and listening to a spanish station…a game i play with myself to see how much i can understand/pick up as spanish speakers are clearly the majority in my town now…They were slamming Obama about Iran. Playing clips of the UN speech then attacking…not sure what it means but it’s striking that univision is willing to go after tell some truth that english stations won’t touch. I chock it up to “no white guilt, no stupid creative class liberal nonsense.” Of course, we will not see any of this on Telemundo – why? – It’s owned by NBC.
Funny how that works.
Mmmmmmm.
My mom just called. They are selling homemade tamales at her church tomorrow. I’ll be having a nice pre-game meal.
She asked “Do you prefer pork or chicken?”
My answer “Yes”

their will be a diaper shortage.
OMG, young mothers may have to get cloth diapers and wash them
oh the humanity
Cloth diapers (which I used with my first 3 kids) are pretty awful if you don’t have a clothes dryer (which, as of about a year ago, we don’t) because they dry on the line stiff as a board. It’s like wrapping your kid’s ass in a shingle.
new republican ad

Shamelessly stolen from TCH. Why doesn’t Univision do this type of investigative journalism in Mexico? How do they miss a 300′ tower?
unbelievable
