Dumb stuff seems to be in the air lately.

First, a big earthquake in Mexico draws attention to the Obamas’ daughter. The White House has to tell the world their 13-year-daughter is okay, following the quake. With this release, they blow her cover. They reveal she is vacationing there. And the press has been mum about it.

Once the Obamas blew her cover they then pressured the press to shut up about any further travels of their daughter. And the press complied. Which is what the press used to do under communism in the old Soviet Union and East Germany. And which it still does in Russia and other totalitarian-run countries.

The dumb stuff is that the Obamas’ allowed their 13-year-old to travel to a country which is under siege from drug mobs. Mexico is a damned dangerous place in some respects.

Sure, she has secret service protection. And they are costing taxpayers a pretty penny. But they would probably not be able to deal with drug terrorists who really wanted to kidnap her. Those guys operate armies of thugs in Mexico.

If ever they kidnapped the daughter of the President, what do you suppose this country would do? It would probably invade Mexico. I am serious.
