New ‘golden triangle’ of fentanyl and guns spans US-Mexico border
Report links Arizona-Sonora smuggling to rising homicide and overdose deaths in both countries
(snort) Next thing you know, you’ll be demanding that Senator Fetterman wear pants.
Uh Oh … The world vs the US ?
Remind anybody of
… The Trump vs NFL …? … or
Trump tries to conquer the Gaming Industry … or
Trump shows the Airline Industry how it is done…
Pretty glib to suggest anyone who disagrees with you has sold out. Especially coming from the guy who literally made a career suing Pharma companies.
Funny you should mention that. We know about drug and gun smuggling in Arizona.
Report links Arizona-Sonora smuggling to rising homicide and overdose deaths in both countries
————————————-
There is a similar skew in seizures on the border itself, where according to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data, roughly half of the fentanyl seized entering the US is caught coming through ports of entry in Arizona, and much of the rest comes through California.
In the other direction, Arizona’s role in gun trafficking has also soared in recent years, as was highlighted by the Mexican government’s lawsuitagainst five gun shops there.
Between 1 January and 24 July last year, Arizona was the source of 57% of guns that were recovered in Mexico and traced to a purchase in the US less than a year earlier, which is a key indicator of whether a firearm was bought with the intent of trafficking.

Support for vaccinating kids against infectious diseases dropped from 81% in 1991 to 51% last year We are getting dumber as a society.
Climate Change lowers oxygen levels and increases CO2 concentration, meaning we’re getting leaa and less oxygen to breathe. That will lower your intellect over time.
Rising temperatures and more frequent heat waves have a measurable, negative effect on thinking and mental performance.
Will climate change create a downward spiral of stupidity?
I thought that delaying death and preventing suffering was the consensus position in our country.
And somehow I never thought slavery involved any of that.
Edit: Hey, let’s go talk to someone in an iron lung from polio, let’s see their opinion on this “slavery” idea.
The last person relying on an iron lung died a few months ago.
Telling the defense department to strike a boat that may or may not be drug running is part of the job.
This is not “faithfully executing the law” as the Constitution and his oath say he is supposed to do. One does not kill 11 people based on a guess.
Mute him now, mute him forever!
Video in link.
LMAO -- an aide seemingly tells RFK Jr to mute his mic and stop breathing like a total freak
And I read somewhere that he’s currently still getting indirect kickbacks through some of his connections to anti-vaccine groups that sponsor alternative ‘medicine’ that is actually based on scams and anti-science nonsense.
I agree. I am plannig a trip to the UK in a few weeks so I wanted to have both of them up to date. My doctor suggested I do both before I go, but I’m going to be extra cautious in late winter.
Look I have little to zero amount of knowledge on motor boats, I’m more of a canoe person, but from the aerial photo of the boat it wasn’t big. And if it wasn’t big, and there were 11 people on board, then what quantity of drugs could it have on board? I’ve also looked at a map, could a boat that size, smuggle enough “drugs” to where exactly. And yes I know drugs pass through many countries or ports before getting smuggled into the US.
And have I missed the announcement from this Maladministration that they are ramping up monies and other support for drug addiction clinics?
Somehow the optics of 29 day deployment consequences got through to someone.
District of Columbia National Guard troops who are deployed as part of President Donald Trump’s federal law enforcement intervention in the nation’s capital have had their orders extended through December.
This will also allow them to rotate out the current group to bring in fresh troops for garbage and mulch detail.
With each phone call home, the troops describe a mission unlike any other.
Appt with cvs tomorrow for new Covid booster. It was first available & I grabbed it.
Flu shot was last week, decided to get it while I could. No trust in CDC.
“The interconnexion between sadism, masochism, success-worship, power-worship, nationalism, and totalitarianism is a huge subject whose edges have barely been scratched, and even to mention it is considered somewhat indelicate. . . . It is important to notice that the cult of power tends to be mixed up with a love of cruelty and wickedness for their own sakes. A tyrant is all the more admired if he happens to be a bloodstained crook as well, and ‘the end justifies the means’ often becomes, in effect, ‘the means justify themselves provided they are dirty enough’.”
One can, if the Supreme Court has publicly stated that the First Felon cannot be prosecuted for any crimes he commits while presidenting.
This qualifies.
Bill Cassidy with the trick question. Ha!
And a Nobel Prize for what now? How about giving it to the actual, you know, scientists who developed the mRNA technology?
Bill Cassidy gets RFK to agree that Trump should get a Nobel Prize for COVID vaccine, but then asks how that's consistent with RFK's statements about the vax. Pretty smart approach.
