Where Credit is Due

According to the actual complaint, a Florida gun dealer became suspicious of Delgado after he tried to purchase his fourth Barrett rifle, which can retail for $10,000 or more. As a result, the gun dealer contacted the ATF directly. [More]

If he hadn’t reported suspicions he’d have been treated as a co-conspirator. That, to me, is the greater issue.

Democrats Aren’t Gonna Like That!

Federal authorities in Southern California filed a complaint charging three foreign nationals with conspiring to distribute nearly four tons of methamphetamine, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a June 5 statement. [More]

Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass should be particularly outraged.

Maybe the district judge it gets assigned to can put a stop to it.

Down in Mexico Where the Peppers Grow

Crack down on Mexican cartels after missing musicians found burned near Mexican border… Federal agencies gathered in South Texas to address the alarming issue of firearms from the United States ending up in the hands of Mexican cartels. [More]

Not sure what the connection is, but I can’t help notice Democrats who want OUR guns coming together to keep ICE from deporting Mexican criminals so that stuff like this can become a regular occurrence in a vecindario near you.

South of the Border, Down Mexico Way

Two top officials in Mexico City died at the hands of a team of gunmen in a crime that shook the highest levels of that country’s government. The targeted killing comes just days after a group of gunmen in Jalisco State shot and killed two police instructors with ties to the U.S. Department of State. [More]

Y’hear that, Pedro?

Down in Mexico, Where the Peppers Grow

SHOCK VIDEO: Cartel Shoots and Kills Mexican Mayoral Candidate, Her Daughter and Two Other People During Facebook Livestream [More]

Damn lax American gun laws! Sue the manufacturers! Just in case anybody had any illusions about who’s pulling Claudia’s strings…

And the party of “commonsense gun safety laws” is fighting to keep cartel thugs here.

Everybody Ready for a Real ‘War on Drugs’?

Mexican president declines Trump’s offer of US troops to help fight drug cartels [More]

She’s right, but for the wrong reasons. If she allowed it, her corrupt government would cease to allow her.

I’m against it for the same reason I’ve consistently been against wars that our representatives have not declared– as required by the Constitution.

Surely, someone has factored in the likelihood of a sufficient percentage of the tens of millions embedded throughout the Republic becoming even more radicalized and adopting assymetric warfare tactics, e.g., “terrorism” wherever unhardened targets present themselves, that is, practically everywhere. Can we see the projections?

If the decision IS war, then anything other than real war will be a betrayal of those we order to put their bodies and their lives on the line on our behalf. And in this case, it would be impossible to “just” target cartels without also going after their stooges at all levels of the Mexican government.

The Power of Suggestion

“Reason for Mexico Terror Threat Against U.S. Gunmakers Suggests Government in Pocket of Cartels”‘Suggests’???? You’re Kidding, Right? ‘Suggests’? [More]

No, I’m not kidding. I laid out some documented examples of corruption to build my argument, but if I was going to use the word “Proves” for the specific instance of Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum being in league with the cartels, I’d need to provide more than circumstantial evidence. I’d need to produce documentation establishing that she’s in communication with, on the take, or under direct threat from specific cartels. Barring that, it’s the same reason why words like “alleged” are used.

The commentator, who “suggests” he was a CIA operative in Mexico who had a direct hand in getting DEA agents in and then out of the country with their captures, claims direct knowledge I confess I cannot. If he’d like to be a whistleblower and blow the lid off this, I can guarantee the same level of care Mike and I gave to our Fast and Furious sources– after vetting them .

Reason for Mexico Terror Threat Against U.S. Gunmakers Suggests Government in Pocket of Cartels

Top officials, in all branches of government, the police, and the military, are in the pockets of the cartels. [More]

Don’t think of them as partners. Think of them as conjoined twins.

Should Be Easy Enough to Determine

“They sell weapons to drug cartels… the fact is that the Ukrainian military sells a huge percentage, up to half of the weapons we send them. And this is not my guess. This is a fact. Not speculation. They sell it, and a lot of it ends up with drug cartels on our border. So this is a crime,” Carlson said, quoted by RIA Novosti. [More]

If true, it should be provable from “crime scene” serial numbers, like in Fast and Furious . If not, a correction and apology are in order.

So… is anybody else looking into it?
