Former Mexican President Scolds U.S. after Las Vegas Attack

Former President of Mexico Vicente Fox scolded Americans about our gun laws in the wake of the horrific Las Vegas attack, and Americans understandably called him out on his apparent hypocrisy.

Fox took to his Twitter account to advocate for gun control.

“[Gun Control] is a topic that must be dealt with ASAP,” he said. “American people must not be looking over their shoulder for their countrymen.”

Prior to this tweet he sent out a more sanguine message, saying, “This morning, we mourn for the victims in Las Vegas. Such a heartless and senseless act of violence. We must #PrayForTheWorld to find peace.”

Fox’s comments fall in line with the response from many on the left who clamored for gun control even as the details of the terrible attack were still being released and processed.

What was the response?

Many online didn’t appreciate the politicization from Fox, especially given the exceeding violence in his own country despite gun control being implemented there for years.

Are they right about Mexico being a dangerous country?

Mexico has one of the highest homicide rates in the world. A 2017 survey found there were more than 22,000 homicides in the country and rated it the second deadliest country in the world, worse than Afghanistan or Yemen. Defenders of the country blame the violence on U.S. demand for illegal drugs.

What are gun laws like in Mexico?

While Mexican citizens have a constitutional right to owning guns, the state highly regulates the ownership of guns, and rarely grants conceal-carry permits. As a result, few Mexican citizens own guns legally. Some gun advocates have demanded expansion of gun rights so that Mexican citizens can defend themselves from the violence in Mexico.

Rosie O’Donnell Calls for Trump Assassination… REGRETS IT IMMEDIATELY!

Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Trump have been engaged in a bitter feud for over a decade. Rosie’s hatred for Trump has only escalated since he became president, but this week, she took things way too far when she called for him to be assassinated. It didn’t take long for Rosie to learn that she’d made a huge mistake… Mad World News reported that Rosie took to Twitter on Saturday to endorse a ridiculous new game called Push Trump Off A Cliff Again. The despicable game allows players to kill Trump by pushing him off a cliff. Push Trump Off A Cliff Again https://t.co/YguB3aG8EP — ROSIE (@Rosie) July 15, 2017 The virtual game instructs players to “Take out your frustrations with [the] President by pushing him off a virtual cliff, or into a virtual volcano.” An image of Trump screams things like “Bye!” and “I’m really rich!” as he tumbles to his death. Twitter users immediately fired back at Rosie and let her know that simulating the assassination of the president is never okay. Bett

WALSH: Yes, Ilhan Omar’s Alleged Adultery Matters. Here’s Why.

According to court documents, Rep. Ilhan Omar allegedly had an affair with a married DC consultant. The wife of Omar’s alleged lover made the claims in divorce filings, insisting that her marriage was ultimately destroyed by the tryst between the congresswoman and her husband. Previous reports claimed that Omar “dumped” her own husband earlier in the summer. Conventional modern wisdom would tell us that the only newsworthy and relevant aspect of this salacious story is the possible abuse of campaign funds, as reported by the Washington Examiner: Omar’s alleged paramour, Tim Mynett, has been a fundraising consultant for Omar’s 2018 and 2020 campaigns… …Of the $145,406 reported earnings by the E Street Group during the 2018 campaign cycle, $62,674 came from Omar’s campaign. Not counting payroll taxes and transfers to Minnesota’s Democratic Party, E Street Group was Omar’s second-largest vendor, according to FEC data. From Labor Day through the end of the year, E Street Group ate up mo

Newly Declassified FBI Materials Show Bureau Treated Clinton, Trump Campaigns Differently On Foreign Interference

FBI documents and communications that were recently declassified show the bureau treated foreign interference on Hillary Clinton’s campaign differently than it did with President Donald Trump’s campaign. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) released the documents on Sunday with a lengthy statement about the contents: There was a clear double standard by the Department of Justice and FBI when it came to the Trump and Clinton campaigns in 2016. These newly released documents indicate that a foreign government was trying to influence the Clinton campaign through a campaign associate and the FBI was seeking a FISA warrant. However, the Bureau, as it is supposed to do, required that Hillary Clinton be defensively briefed about the matter so she could engage in corrective action. When it came to the Trump campaign, there were four counterintelligence investigations opened against Trump campaign associates. Not one time was President Trump defensively briefed about th
