New Rambo movie tells the brutal truth about Mexico

It remains to be seen if the latest incarnation of Rambo will attract audiences. Most of those who go to movie theaters these days are likely unfamiliar with all the earlier incarnations of Stallone's Rambo films. The first was in 1982, First Blood. It dealt, in exaggerated form, with the anger and resentment toward the returning vets from Vietnam. The Left's intolerance for our military was as egregious then as it is now. For inexplicable reasons, leftists loathe our first line of defense against our enemies, whom they always seem to revere or defend. "It was ever thus," to quote Una Merkel in the original Parent Trap.

So for those of us who revere those who served, who gave their lives to defeat communism, First Blood was welcome revenge porn. The young man being hunted by law enforcement was the good guy, trained by our own government. Without cause, he was deemed an enemy of the people, which, of course he was not, in any way, shape, or form. But he did know how to defend himself. He had a particular set of skills.

There were several other Rambo films over the years — five of them. Some of them were not very good, but despite their obvious faults that made them fodder for every film critic on the planet, each of the Rambo films had a clear good versus evil, right versus wrong core message. Stallone was never a Shakespearean thespian, but that did not matter any more than it did in the Rocky films. He was a tough kid from the streets who was driven by a gratitude for life and a will to be relevant.

This current manifestation of the Rambo character is predictable by any film critic's dismissive standards. They will delight in trashing it.

This film does actually provide an education of a sort. The drug lords of Mexico do kidnap, drug, rape, and traffic young girls. They do it by the many thousands of victimized young girls, snatched from their home villages, never to be returned.

Until Trump became president, no one cared about the fate of these girls. Obama encouraged Mexican and Central American parents to send their children here perilously perched on the top of trains, unaccompanied, only to be ravaged on the journey. These children’s parents put them on those trains. Some gave their little girls birth control pills knowing full well what the journey would entail.

The Left claims that such actions are desperation for those children to have a better life in the U.S. This is nonsense. These parents are virtually selling their own children into slavery or renting them to coyotes because entrance into the U.S. is easier when one has young children.

Dentray Mills purchased 27 guns using false ID. He sold them to felons. He is free today. After being charged with 55 counts of Federal gun trafficking Barack Obama’s dept of Justice negotiated a plea bargain. In exchange for 1 charge. He got probation. Tell me again how it is the NRA’s problem. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10214181218033362&set=a.1328908871738&type=3&theater
