Blow is $10 a gram off the block in my town. My 20 year old didn't get hooked on it because I raised him right. I also told him if he does it I'll put the dealer in his mother septic tank.
He is a beer drinker like the old man.
Most big cities world wide are now Ghettos.
My son was sending me zombie pictures when he flew up north to hang iron last summer.
The downtown core is like a movie set with freaks frozen in strange zombie positions. Human shit and cadavers of OD Vic's in the alley. Tents on the sidewalks in front stores.
Cops can't do anything and stand there watching these junkies boot up in front of them.
My kid grew up in a 3rd world Central American rats nest and said it was nicer at home where life is worth $40.
Social decay and lawlessness is happening in front of our eyes and it is very hard to watch.
Your passing remarks about the likelihood of military attacks or military-style attacks on the East Coast reminded me that the Germans shelled (from the Atlantic) St, Simon's Island, Georgia, during the Second World War (there was a shipbuilding facility there then).
GREAT broadcast! Forthright speech about the actual FACTS involved in the hare-brained scheme to attack the cartels inside Mexico (or anywhere else for that matter, since their reaction would be as you describe, regardless of the location of the attack). Anyway, your clear-eyed look at the truth made this broadcast a first-rate one! Bravo!
Oh, and the cartel "soldiers" would not have to "go," as you put it, to Ft Bragg or to airfields and hangars etc., because, as you had mentioned earlier in this excellent broadcast, they could just do it with drones or robots. I read somewhere--years ago now--that one of the cartels had a submarine. Goodbye, San Diego!
And now we know that the Ukrainian government has sold billions of dollars worth of the weapons that Biden gave them. But who were the buyers?
Thanks for the plaudits, the menu options for the cartels are unlimited and they are going to school the US government in asymmetric warfare that will rival the pager gambit by the Israelis.
There' s a major bridge over the Mississippi that they could drop into the river, thus shutting down ALL river traffic for a LONG time. There's one at Baton Rouge- Hammond, Louisiana, that would suit that purpose admirably. That would shut down the whole drainage system that comprises the Ohio-Allegheny-Muskingum system and the one that comprises the Missouri River and the Red River. What would happen if nothing could be shipped into or out of New Orleans? PEtroleum refineries and chemical plants and Lord knows what all else depend on a navigable Mississippi River drainage system--a huge part of the continent. Not to mention the rest of the world that gets stuff that is shipped out of New Orleans. The ramifications are incalculable. So you are quite right: The Cartels can do HUGE damage for minimal cost and effort. Let's hope that Mr Trump comes to his senses on this notion (I can't call it an idea). Thanks for your reply.
You are mistaken about the name of Fort Bragg. It *was* named for Confederate Gen. Braxton Bragg, but Hegseth renamed it for Roland Bragg, a WW II veteran and a Yankee. Hegseth thus continues the cultural cleansing of the American South because "slavery." Do not be fooled. Hegseth is a treacherous liar worthy only of despise. He is every bit as politically correct as Nancy Pelosi in his hatred for Heritage America, which persists mainly--and almost exclusively now--in the South.
Just did the same thing for Ft. Hood renaming. These forts were named for Confederate Generals after the CW as part of Reconciliation to temper Reconstruction, imo
Don't get too caught up in this current naming situation. The next CW will have a whole new Realignment, depending upon Who occupies the WH.
Demand elimination is not a likely pursuit in our current gov mindset. A dependent population is a controllable population. We don't have to look to hard to see society being lead to dependency on the gov for food, health, shelter, employment and the next fix.
It is not likely we will see any significant move to reduce dependance in any of these categories.
Tariffs and other forms of financial will only escalate physical actions against American businesses there and here. As always, you present a cogent view on likely direction, escalation, and outcomes for our current situation.......
Thanks for the link. I didn't know about the events at Trump's address to the joint session of Congress b/c I have lived without TV since 1987, so I got the news of the latest shenanigans from your link.
The problem should be attacked on the demand side. This is a little to the side, but I think part of the reason we have such a demand for drugs comes from the crumbling nuclear family. We have a welfare system that looks like it’s designed to undermine families and keep people from moving out of poverty. Possibly all by design. Restoring families back to a 1950s level would do a lot. I may now be accused of Beaver Cleaverism.
You are right, although erosion of the nuclear family is only one sign of the real problem. But about that--We are told that "you can't legislate morality," but that is hogwash. I am old enough to remember when morality was legislated from coast to coast, and it worked like a charm. Blue laws prohibited desecration of SUnday by prohibiting businesses from being open on Sunday and prohibited the sale of alcohol on Sundays (restaurants & such). The only businesses open on Sunday were those that were needed by travelers and wayfarers--restaurants, hotels, hospitals. To improve things in the way that you suggest--Beaver Cleaverism--is entirely practicable, but the political will is absent b/c morality across the board has sunk so low that the idea would be rejected out of hand. The Western World's problems are not political and therefore do not admit of any political "solution." The problem is moral and spiritual, but "legislating morality" would meet with more than a little success, were it to be done. The state must stop subsidizing immorality just as you have said, and that, too would go a long way towards restoring the life of former times, although not overnight. But it would have immediate and beneficial effects on a large but limited scale. MArriage should not be so easy to enter into OR to get out of. Many are the times I have told anti-abortion activists, "I can't take you or your movement seriously while you remain silent and inactive about no-fault divorce. Put a stop to that, and we'll talk. Until I see you do that, go away and don't bother me." And ALL public schools should be permanently closed so that parents would actually be obliged to DO something; to become parents in fact and not only in name. The Founding Fathers never went to public schools administered by holders of a degree in "education," but they were highly educated because they had actual parents who did what was necessary to get schooling for their children. But "parents" today don't do that. And they aren't going to until they HAVE to, and then only kicking an screaming. We have a drug problem because we don't mind in the least having a drug problem And if the drug trade stopped tomorrow, the economy--all the banks and construction firms and, well, EVERYTHING would collapse the next day. People don't understand how dependent the entire economy is on the drug trade.
They use a kind of verbal judo to make it convincing that you can’t legislate morality. The difference between wanting to rob a bank and it being illegal to rob a bank.
Sometimes, if someone said to me, “ you can’t legislate morality,“ I would say, “sure, you can make a law against robbing banks, but you can’t make a law against wanting to rob banks.“
It is one thing to drop bombs on some goat-humpers in the Middle East, it is quite another to do the same on people living next door who already have tens of thousands of foot soldiers living within our borders.
Agreed and as I mentioned, the cartels and their "paid" staff in US government agencies have a very deep larder of up-to-date Target Intelligence Packets" (TIPs).
The drug trade is a multi billion dollar biz.
Where there is a demand, there is a market.
I'm the new sub from Central America.

I understand what you are saying, but Hegseth and Trump *promised* to return the Confederate names, but they betrayed us. Period.

How few remember the 1950's. Normal in Capital Letters, in retrospect a fantasy of a decade following WW2........
When the Deep Statists laid the Cold War foundations out of sight that now tyrannizes us domestically. Yin&Yang.
China eliminated their Opium addicts and Xi claims almost no drug problems today. A possibility but a bit harsh for current Americans.
While an Amnesty and retention of wealth with conversion to other businesses for the Cartels,is also an option.
"While an Amnesty and retention of wealth with conversion to other businesses for the Cartels,is also an option."
That right there is a very good idea, which is why it will never be tried. But you are smart to think of the problem in that out-of-the-box way.
But like Leftist Anna, We/Me/You may Also be howling in the Wind, just from a different viewpoint.
We will See, 2025=1775 ??? If not, forgetaboutit. We will be in the Air …. Over the Cliff. (If not already ;-)

Love the locution "verbal judo"! Well done!
Excellent example! I'm ashamed I didn't think of it myself! Thanks for your reply.
Sometimes, if someone said to me, “ you can’t legislate morality,“ I would say, “sure, you can make a law against robbing banks, but you can’t make a law against wanting to rob banks.“
Precisely!
You and I agree on this. The demand signal is the elephant in the room.
