I’m horrified by the kidnapping off four Americans and the killing of two of them in Mexico. If you live near the border, you know such things happen. Here in Orange County, just last month we were shocked at the death of Elliott Blair in Mexico, allegedly murdered. Mexican authorities said he just fell and bumped his head. His body was embalmed before an independent blood test could be performed. Before his death, he reportedly was a victim of extortion by police.
A friend of mine knows someone who last year went to Mexico for routine cosmetic surgery. She came home with a hideous infection and has spent the last year in and out of hospitals, costing the U.S. health system millions.
The recent double killing produced the usual howls for war by the Necons. Demanded Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, the state the victims were from, “The blood of America fuels the drug cartels. I want to blow them up. Whatever it takes for as long as it takes. I don’t want to be attacked again.”
A big problem is the military would have to bring the troops home from Poland and Romania, where they’re conducting Linsey’s war with Russia over Ukraine. We can’t train more troops because recruitment goals aren’t being met due to 77% of kids being unfit to become G.I.s (Government Inspected). A military draft would be met with massive resistance, not only by the kids, but by their Boomer grandparents eager for one last protest fling amidst the pungent smell of pot, now legal, and the electric guitars shrieking a psychedelic “Star Spangled Banner,” before heading into the hospice.
Of course, I don’t see anybody urging Mexico to do the one thing that would help: legalize guns. Mexico has some of the world’s strictest anti-gun laws. But only honest citizens are disarmed. The cartels obviously are heavily armed. If Mexico adopted a Second Amendment, the citizens, and American tourists, could shoot back.
And what of our country? Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, Baltimore and other once-great cities are murder-infested hellholes. They’re run by Lindsey’s liberal Democratic pals. Chicago used to be “the City that Works.” It was corrupt, but the streets were safe and the trash got picked up. Now it’s just corrupt.
Then there’s the border. This is the only country in the world that doesn’t protect its border. Anybody can walk in, including the cartel members who killed the two Americans. Our cities overflow with the fentanyl the cartels bring here, killing more than 100,000 Americans a year. Lindsey is obsessed with destroying Russia. But how many Russians are sneaking over the border? How many are Putin’s agents?
If Russia is broken apart, as Lindsey wants, how many “loose nukes” will be smuggled in to blow up our cities? Will the Mexican cartels get some of these nukes? You may recall that was a big problem in the 1990,s when Russia nearly collapsed under the drunk Yeltsin.
Lindsey and the other U.S. elites live in a fantasy bubble in D.C., protected by armed guards, luxuriating in their McMansions in gated communities – all on money stolen from us through high taxes.
They don’t care about us – only about their sybaritic lifestyles as they drive this country into the dirt.
