They are the champions, they are the champions…
Joe Biden is an idiot. Trump is a bloviating bully. Hillary rides a broom to work. Kamala is…well, no need to go there. Hard to get past the stunningly obvious when it is so blatant that words almost fail to describe it.
The head of Mexico’s detective service acknowledged Tuesday that the country is “the champion” of fentanyl production, something that appears to run counter to past statements by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
Where do you go from there?
López Obrador has hotly denied in the past that any fentanyl is produced in Mexico, saying Mexican cartels only press it into pills or add finishing touches.
But Felipe de Jesus Gallo, the head of Mexico’s Criminal Investigation Agency, said that since the 1990s “Mexico has been the champion of methamphetamine production, and now fentanyl.” He spoke at a U.S.-Mexico conference on synthetic drugs in Mexico City.
In February, Mexico’s Navy seized over 45 tons of methamphetamine at the biggest drug lab found during the current administration. The lab was in Quiriego, a township in a remote part of the northern border state of Sonora.
The 91,000 pounds (41,310 kilograms) of meth found there was more than half of the 162,000 pounds of the drug Mexico has seized so far this year.
Forty-five TONS of meth in one bust.
A year ago, soldiers seized more than a half-million fentanyl pills in Culiacan in what the army at the time described as the largest synthetic drug lab found to date.
Soldiers found almost 630,000 pills that appeared to contain fentanyl, the army said. They also reported seizing 282 pounds (128 kilograms) of powdered fentanyl and about 220 pounds (100 kilograms) of suspected methamphetamine.
López Obrador, who took office on Dec. 1 2018, also claims that Mexicans are culturally immune to drug addiction.
And we though Biden was deluded… wow. I suspect Sr. Gallo might not have tenure in his present position. This, by the way, is the same Mexico suing us because of their crime/gun problem.
Cue Freddie…singing Somos Campeones. Don’t even have to change the tune.

FJB would say 630,000 fentanyl pills is enough to kill half the population of the U.S..

When an Administration lives in denial, they create a truth that’s far from factual. Anyone with the tiniest lick of common sense should know that our drug crisis is being fueled through cross-border trafficking, and I don’t mean the northern border. South of the Border is an old I-95 tourist trap that can get creepy after dark and probably has many regulars that get their supply from its inspiration. The real South of the Border, from nearly everything I hear, is a mix of cartels, corruption, and beautiful vacation spots. China may be pumping out illegal drugs, but the cartels aren’t going to let them have all the fun (and get all the money).
Fentanyl and meth are both cheap to produce, and those who make the stuff really don’t care about the end user. Cut a little something-something with some fentanyl and you’ve got a nice payday, even while Methew McCrackaway is dying on the streets after an OD. Don’t worry, there’ll be more clients; druggies tend to recruit. No one likes a quitter, and everyone wants to join in on the fun. “Just take a hit, it’ll wake you up and make you realize things you never knew…” My brother got my sister hooked on meth, and my Adderall-addled friend turned methhead tried pressuring me into trying his pills on a few occasions.
The three largest countries on this continent are run by deluded and lying sacks of bat feces.

That was written by Hoyt Axton. He also wrote Snowblind Friend. Great country artist on his own, and had pretty fair acting chops. If you remember The Black Stallion, he played the kid’s doomed father.
Also played Shirley Muldowney’s Father in Heart Like a Wheel

This song hits hard, no doubt. Probably my favorite Steppenwolf song. Hoyt definitely could write a song, and John Kay and the band did it well.
One might ask; “how many doses of meth is that?”
The average dose of meth is 1/10 of a gram. So a kilo has 10,000 doses in it.
10000X41310 = 413 million doses. Enough for every person in the entire United States to get a dose including all of the illegals. There is even enough for a lot of people to get two.
You might think that’s impressive. But, the average dose for fentanyl is 2 mg. Or 1/500th of a gram. So a kilo (2.2lbs) contains 500,000 doses. A kilo ton (2200lbs) contains 500 million doses.
Some of you might be wondering well; “how much is the street value on that?”. A dose of fentanyl or dose of meth sells for about $10 on the street to the end user. 1 kilo ton of fentanyl has a street value of $5 billion dollars. Compare this to a kilo ton of gold which is only a measly $75 million.
You can see why it’s impossible to get rid of.

Mexico is almost as corrupt as the Biden crime family and the deep state.. When Blackjack Pershing took Mexico city, we should have kept it!
Obrador is either a liar or a fool (and quite possibly both). No court in the US should even entertain his illegal lawsuit, and since his government is actively assisting illegals with invading the US, it should be treated as an act of war, and their sovereignty should be ignored at any point that it interferes with protecting our border.

Oh, hey, this just in… Mexican president says nice things (for some reason, but we won’t ask) about the drug cartels in his country:
https://www.yahoo.com/news/mexican-president-claims-criminal-groups-195600552.html
Saw that and thought about doing a piece on it, but it would really be like kicking a rotting horse.
Blackjack didn’t make it to Mexico City. He and his men spent their time chasing Pancho Villa around northern Mexico. The only thing we accomplished was strengthening Carranza’s hold on power and Obregón’s eventual rise to the Presidency and the creation of the PRI political party by his successor, Plutarco Elias Calles. That ended up leading to the expropriation of US and British owned businesses when Mexico nationalized the petroleum industry and the railroads. I mean, it’s a good story and helped create a couple of legends for our military such as Patton’s gunfight with one of Villa’s bodyguards along with some training we put to good use later in 1917, but the punitive expedition really didn’t accomplish much of anything.
The US and its insatiable desire for narcotics drives the narco-train. The cartels only provide the illegal product consumers of illicit narcotics in the US can’t get enough of. Need to start rounding up the addicts and putting them away for a long while. Smash the demand in the US and watch the supply shift to the next country that won’t place blame where it belongs.
Several years ago I did some skidding for a young man up on the hill behind my place. I thought he acted kind of weird but I got my money from the log yard and didn’t think any more about it. My son who knew both him and his girl friend got a call from his frightened young lady. She reported Mike was doing strange shit and she was scared. He went up there and he was making small pyramids out of rocks all sweated up. It was snowing and Mike told him to not look up. He said the snowflakes were miniature cameras and they were being watched. My son offered the lady a ride out of there and left.
Days later Mike ended up before a judge and was offered a choice of jail or rehab. His reply was “I am not a quitter.”
Mike comes from a respected family in our area. This crap reaches into every area of our country . His sister died of an OD. He was an educated construction foreman at one time. He continues to live a risky life.
Sad.
My brothers wife was stealing my dads meds. When dad died she turned to meth. She lost 40 pounds in a month, charged up $50,000 on credit cards and was breaking into my moms home. My brother has a great job and makes six figures a year. He stood by that meth head the whole time. Then she started screwing her dealer, and came for my brothers job. He finally got divorced but it cost $2,000 a month and he had to pay off all the credit cards she racked up. I have not talked to him in years.
FENTANYL kills far more Americans than guns, but what do the establishment politicians go after?
Well, fentanyl users are easier to control and easier to get rid of. Gun owners…not so much.
“Trump is a bloviating bully.”
Accurate. I’ll still vote for him though.
Just the way he makes the right peoples’ heads explode makes me vote for him.
Ain’t a Democrat.
Seattle news this weekend was about 3 children age 2 and below ingesting fentanyl with 1 dead and 2 saved by Narcan and officials recommending citizens stock up on Narcan for safety.
Seattle was also in the news this past year when city officials countered transit drivers complaints about druggies publicly smoking fentanyl on busses unchallenged was that it was better for druggies to smoke fentanyl on public transportation because in case of an overdose, the chance was higher that a fellow passenger was in possession of Narcan to save their ass was higher than smoking it in the privacy of a tent.
I think it’s about time that smugglers caught get a heavy dose of the smuggled goods reported in the news. Eventually the number of smugglers will drop as word gets out of a potential “one way trip”.
Give addicts a paid trip to rehab. If they can’t kick it then, let them join the dealers.
