I'm not necessarily a huge fan. However, drug cartels are by definition terrorist organizations.

There's now a synthetic narcotic that is ten times more powerful than even fentanyl. Reports are that often 2-3 doses of narcan are not enough to counter it, even to get people to a hospital.

I have a very close friend who had a son-in-law who became addicted after an injury and the attending pain killers. A fix laced with fentanyl killed him two years ago.

Laws will never prevent addicts from doing drugs. However, if we can prosecute people severely for crimes using weapons and vehicles, I figure that anyone caught distributing anything laced with fentanyl or the new synthetic could be prosecuted for attempted homicide with a deadly weapon.

What if 1 of those boats in the future are full of Americans? That opens up a whole new can of worms. I don't know...it's just a slippery slope for me. If they can be captured alive that's what should happen imo. What if the cartels forced these guys on the boats against their will? I just think this is common sense to look at all possibles before killing for the sake of killing. 
If anything, I believe, that Trump is doing this to send a message to Manduro....trying to provoke him into attacking our boats out there.

They're doing full surveillance. They know who and what is in the boats before the boat ever leaves.

It's pretty much a declaration of the cartels as narco terrorists and taking them out in open waters.

I'm not sure I necessarily agree with it. I also admit that I don't necessarily have a better plan.

Does it possibly provoke the "politicians" in those countries, who are pretty much owned by the cartels? Probably. I don't necessarily buy that provoking them is the purpose.

Be honest with yourself and admit that the cartels are violent, and are not only importing drugs into the country, but are also invading the country in gangs and setting up distribution networks. They gladly kill anyone getting in their way.

Yeah, ending the demand would be a kinder, gentler solution.

Like I said, I'm not sure I agree with it. But I don't have a better, effective solution. I haven't seen anyone else with one, either.

Well, society/culture has devolved to the point where even if the trend were reversed, it would take decades to substantially reduce the demand.


I understand that there is demand here. However, I see the act of importing illicit drugs, especially the fentanyl and other synthetics, and setting up violent networks of distribution, by foreign cartels and gangs, as a violent invasion of the nation.

If you’re fighting drugs, why are we hitting the weakest country in it?
Why are they not in Mexico and Columbia?
Why are we hitting the little guy instead of the manufactures of it?

IMO, Because they are probably scared of the real cartels. Little boys with plastic army men.

This is all show and we have zero evidence they actually had drugs. Most don’t fill a boat with people it usually 2 guys actually running it.

Its like going after Canada with tariffs as a big drug source when they only do .1% - .3%, its not even 1%. Real reason? They don’t like the idiot.
Americans make more than Canada sends over.

It probably cost $500k-$1m for each boat with no proof.

Basically it looks more like murder for a stage show, propaganda snuff films.

The Navy picked up two wounded and alive out of the water, so there is someone who can verify what they were doing.

This about not liking the new leaders and this is harassment and propaganda thats failing.
Same thing as tariffs on Brazil because his guy didn’t win in a coup.

Back in the 1970s. there was a program run by the black ops community to target drug dealers with lethal prejudice.  Hundreds were killed in the streets of America.   All disguised as gang warfare.

Lesson: For every person killed, there were 10 more fighting to take that place.

Drugs are a multi-billion-dollar industry worldwide.  Dozens of countries are part of the epidemic.

Solution: Develop a method or methods of eliminating the addictions from the brain.  Demand will drop.

Maduro is the gang leader for Tren de Agua. One of the most powerful gangs in the world, after they took over the Venezuelean election and ruined that country using the same propaganda pushed by leftest organizations. After they took all of the oil, they bought SmartMatic election machines. SmartMatic then became Dominion. Do you see and understand how powerful they became? Maduro gang had direct access to the election software. This is why Trump is adamant about going after Maduro. There is a reason the woman who won the Noble Peace Prize accredited Trump with helping her fight this gang.

These people are evil, and they enjoy drugging our children and watching them suffer and if not dead, then rotting in prison. Stopping the supply is the #1 way to stop the dangerous unregulated drug industry. Ive watched so many families suffer. I've seen what herion and meth have done to societies and families in Portland and Atlanta. I have no remorse for these gangsters trying to take advantage and hurt our people.

I'm all for dealing harshly with the cartels, narco terrorists, etc. Honestly, the U.S. is pretty tame with regards to drug smuggling compared to many nations. And I'm not sure that's really a good thing.

I'm not a fan of "regime change", as far as it goes. The results are rarely, if ever, satisfactory.

Sadly, we've allowed our justice system and our prison system to become horrifically dysfunctional and corrupt.

And if you look carefully at the entirety of the situation, it's rare that you find "decriminalization" has been a real improvement.

Again, the real problem is how far culture and society have fallen as a whole.

It keeps Venezuela from selling it to China and Russia. Get Manduro out and our puppet in, insures the US controls all the major oil reserves in the southern hemisphere. In a time of global unrest, it's sound policy.....think Monroe Doctrine. All this drug stuff is smoke and mirrors. The real goal is the oil.

I have two devices on the Hellfire II. One is in the ESAF system, the other is an impact sensor in the fuze that triggers the explosive train (warhead goes boom). I designed both about 14 years ago. Obviously, these function as advertised. Likewise for SDB II, JASM, JDAM, and just about everything else in the inventory. 

As to clobbering the drug boats? Terrorists don't get trials. They have no Constitutional rights to recognize. Even if captured, they would end up in GTMO's Camp Echo.

What amazes me is that the Cartel can still find suckers to run the boats. With long range drones and satellite coverage, nothing trying to sneak out of Venezuela waters goes unseen.

Clearly, this violent interdiction serves another purpose. Apart from denying the Cartels their income, it puts massive pressure on the regime. If that pressure from the Cartels induces Maduro to order military action, his Air Force will evaporate in a few hours. His air defense system will be crushed. His Navy will be demolished, even if they never leave port. With no ability to project military power, his own military will become his greatest threat.

Trump is not shy to employ some Theodore Roosevelt gunboat diplomacy and enforce the Monroe Doctrine.

Post by: AKKuya on October 19, 2025, 10:06:50 PM
Hitting boats is the very tip of the iceberg.  The majority of drugs enter overland and are tunneled under the border.  Air shipments still make a large percentage.

The real issue is why publicly destroy boats?  The corrupt officials make deals with the cartels to allow large amounts of drugs to enter at the expense of publicly captured shipments to make the citizens think the war on drugs is winning.

It's a distraction.

You get Congress to declare war on drug cartels worldwide, then real progress can be made.  They become military targets like the terrorists.  Spec Ops and support destroy the cartels, and translation teams cover the areas with "America will destroy you, making drugs and shipping drugs."

Either hands off or go full on.

I'd like to see the data on how many pot farms that sell to these Dispensaries around here are Chinese owned.  Drugs are all good if the government can make money off of it.

Not sure, but an AI search resulted in this.   

Scope of operations
Illegal cannabis operations run by Chinese organized crime have been identified in dozens of states across the country, particularly in rural areas with cheap land.
Widespread presence: Reports from law enforcement and investigative journalists confirm that these illicit grows have been found from California and Oregon to Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Maine.
Operating in legal states: Criminal groups exploit states with legal cannabis industries by creating illicit "black market" operations that bypass regulations. They have also established farms in states where marijuana remains illegal.
Funding and personnel: The farms are often funded by Chinese investors and staffed with undocumented Chinese immigrants who are victims of human trafficking. Some operations involve collaboration with Mexican cartels.
Criminal activities and impact
In addition to growing and distributing marijuana, these illicit operations are associated with a variety of other criminal enterprises.
Human trafficking and forced labor
Workers, often vulnerable Chinese immigrants, are lured to the U.S. with false promises of legitimate work.
Once at the grow sites, their passports are confiscated, and they are forced to work long hours under deplorable conditions.
The workers are frequently denied proper food, water, and wages.
Environmental damage
Illegal growers often divert scarce water supplies, harming local fish and other wildlife.
Sites use toxic, banned pesticides and fertilizers from China, which contaminate soil, water, and air.
The chemicals pose immediate health risks to law enforcement, and contamination can linger for years after a site is dismantled.
Money laundering and financial crimes
Illegal proceeds are laundered through various methods, including the Chinese underground banking system.
Criminals often purchase real estate for their grow houses using cash, sometimes with fake paperwork or "straw owners" to disguise their identities.
Law enforcement response and concerns
Federal, state, and local authorities are struggling to combat the proliferation of these sophisticated criminal networks, which often overwhelm local law enforcement.
Investigation challenges
Investigations are complicated by language barriers and the use of encrypted communication apps like WeChat.
The networks are adept at adapting their tactics and relocating to new areas after being exposed.
National security threats
Members of Congress have raised concerns that these illicit operations pose a national security threat, especially when located near military bases.
Some officials believe the criminal networks may be linked to or supported by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
The criminal networks are involved in a broader range of illicit activities, including drug trafficking and weapons smuggling, which pose significant public safety risks.

Interesting nugget I learned the other day.  When I moved back to the area 15yrs ago, Meth was all over the place.  2nd house up the road about 1/2 mile was basically the local source.  They had a drop-spot right in front of my driveway (other side of the highway) until my crazy wife started going out and "picking up the trash" every time one of their vehicles stopped briefly (armed of course, and they knew it).  I found a drop behind the house down in the woodline along the fence (path from their place past mine up to the highway, they always squirted through there when the Po-po drove up to their place).  Still hear them going back and forth between here and "the other place" everyone in the county knows as a hub (bunch of dilapidated shacks way back in the woods).  That said, it's become a lot less noticeable, both the movement and the tweakers running around.  I thought it was because John Law had made progress.

Nope.

Our local Sheriff and I go back back to the 80s.  Not an old-buddy thing but we coon hunted together some in our teens.  Ran into him the other day and I mentioned how things seemed to have settled down, and that it seemed to me there wasn't near as much cooking going as they (cops) used to raid the place up the road fairly regular.  He replies "..because they're not."  Me:  "Not what?"  Sheriff "Cooking".  I'm sure I looked confused  He said the drugs were as bad or worse than ever, but they hadn't busted a meth cooking operation in years, anywhere in the County.  Apparently, the Cartels made it known some time ago that there would be no cooking going on in our area.  Running, sure, fine, great.  Cooking and you'd earn yourself a visit from folks who you'd never know were ever there or anything else, ever, when they came.

It may seem counter to the argument, but that toejam pisses me off more than old Cletus up the road cooking the crap.  F the Cartels.... blow'em outta the water, no warnings.  Every time. :old:

The people responsible for these drug ring strikes are people he doesn't like.  They could cure cancer, fix all environmental issues in the world, eliminate all homelessness, and bring our education system to the top of the world ranks...

And he would still post the same stuff. Probably line up with some of his buddies and try to block a major US interstate again for deporting violent illegal aliens. If you are looking for facts, try somewhere else.

OK but you explain yourself in that way,....and my point. Hitler was nazi fascist. Brown shirts were pro Hitler, like our ICE is used now. Mussolini invented fascism. Hung upside down and the people beat his body to shreds for it. They both got what they deserved. And IMO any fascist deserves the likes.

Your current party policies are fascism by definition.

Fourteen Defining Characteristics Of Fascism

1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism - Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing
and in public displays.
 
2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights - Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
 
3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause - The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.
 
4. Supremacy of the Military - Even when there are widespread
domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
 
5. Rampant Sexism - The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.
 
6. Controlled Mass Media - Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.
 
7. Obsession with National Security - Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
 
8. Religion and Government are Intertwined - Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.
 
9. Corporate Power is Protected - The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
 
10. Labor Power is Suppressed - Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.
 
11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts - Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.
 
12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment - Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.
 
13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption - Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
 
14. Fraudulent Elections - Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

Christian claims? Lets really get it locked with this one.

Deuteronomy 18:20-22 ESV
But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.’ And if you say in your heart, ‘How may we know the word that the Lord has not spoken?’— when a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is a word that the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You need not be afraid of him.

Proverbs 6:16-19 ESV
There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.

Proverbs 19:5 ESV
A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who breathes out lies will not escape.

Matthew 7:1-5 ESV / 5,488 helpful votes
“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

James 2:1-5:
"My brothers and sisters, if someone who is wearing fine clothes comes into your assembly, and a poor person in shabby clothes also comes in, and you pay attention to the one wearing the fine clothes and say, 'You sit here in a good seat,' and you say to the poor person, 'You stand there,' or 'Sit on the ground,' will you not discriminate among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts? Listen, my dear brothers and sisters: God chose the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom he promised to those who love him. But you have disgraced the poor person."

Proverbs 19:17 ESV
Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed.

James 5:1-6 ESV
Warning to the Rich
5 Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. 2 Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten. 3 Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days. 4 Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. 5 You have lived on the earth in luxury and in self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. 6 You have condemned and murdered the righteous person. He does not resist you.

Ezekiel 25:17
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."

Hung upside down and the people beat his body to shreds for it. They both got what they deserved. And IMO any fascist deserves the likes.

Your current party policies are fascism by definition.

Fourteen Defining Characteristics Of Fascism

1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism - Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing
and in public displays.
 
2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights - Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
 
3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause - The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.
 
4. Supremacy of the Military - Even when there are widespread
domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
 
5. Rampant Sexism - The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.
 
6. Controlled Mass Media - Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.
 
7. Obsession with National Security - Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
 
8. Religion and Government are Intertwined - Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.
 
9. Corporate Power is Protected - The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
 
10. Labor Power is Suppressed - Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.
 
11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts - Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.
 
12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment - Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.
 
13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption - Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
 
14. Fraudulent Elections - Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

Fascism is by definition LEFTIST, because conservatives eschew government control of rights, liberties, and industry.

Germany’s original Antifa—called Antifaschistische Aktion—was founded in 1932 by the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) during the final years of the Weimar Republic.

🕰️ Founding Context
Date: May 1932

Founder: KPD (Kommunistische Partei Deutschlands)

Purpose: To combat the rising threat of Nazism and fascism, especially the paramilitary Sturmabteilung (SA) or “Brownshirts”

Ideology: Marxist-Leninist, loyal to the Soviet Comintern under Ernst Thälmann’s leadership

Opposition: Not just Nazis, but also Social Democrats (SPD), whom the KPD labeled “social fascists” at the time

🔍 Key Features
Militant street activism: Clashes with Nazi and SPD paramilitary groups

Propaganda and symbolism: Red-and-black flags, slogans, and posters

Legacy: Inspired postwar anti-fascist groups in both East and West Germany, and later the decentralized Antifa movements seen today

And they conveniently declare conservatives, libertarians, small government capitalists, etc., "fascist", in order to justify their actions. They actually hate REAL fascists, because REAL fascists are not far enough left to suit communists and anarchists.

And they avoid Stalin and Mao and Hirohito like the plague because it exposes all of the flaws in their compelte and utter BS trying to label america conservatives evil because we love the founding principles of America and the heritage of our fore fathers and what Americans built and achieved.

In my view, by calling conservative americans "fascist nazis" against their will, is like calling black people the N word. You say, well they support national policies so that makes them Nazis, is bascially saying. Well they are black so they are the N word. And then you have a violent uprising because they are tired of being labeled bad name and ostracized by complete ignoramouses.


I feel like the left are clearly falling into the "repeat history" narrative. By calling conservative americans Nazis, you are bascially saying that you want war with us. You are saying that war should happen to defeat the "nazis" in America. You are saying you are the "defenders of democracy" by burning down cities and toppling founding father statues. You are saying, let's have WW3 because we are antifa and you are Nazis. Do you see the trap you guys are falling for?

And let me make one thing clear. I dont care how much money Soros and the Rockefellers provide these idiots in Antifa, these people are outright losers. Complete idiots who couldn't even hold a job at Starbucks and think dressing like clowns is going to win sympathy for their side. They arent smart. They only have the backing of funders who are too scared to be seen in public. But if the assassinations continue and our side continues to be labeled the N word in order start WW3, yall are gonna be met with a justified wrath and you wont be able to manipulate history to make it seem like you were the goods either.

If Mandami wins in New York, youll see just how bad your policies really are. It will be a huge disgrace to all the men and woman who fought in Afghanistan after 9/11 and New York will officially be conquered by Islam after 20 years of fighting over there. Its unfathomable how this happened. And just wait until they release all of the Islam refugees in New York and use your tax money to fund it. Its a scary thought. Its even more scary how naive some of you are to this.

The entire goal of your party is to classify capitalism and private ownership as fascist is completely out of line and shows how easily yall are to manipulate into communism, just like what happened to Venezuala. And just like what happened to China.

Again, I have nothing personal against ya and do consider you a friend, im just trying to make this make sense.

What fascist hook did we fall for? Are you saying that a president who cant sign his own bills, using a shadow government to sign policy isn't fascist? A citizenry who didnt vote for Kamala in primaries isnt fascist?

Again, if you moved to another country and illegally broke their laws to live in the country, are they fascist for removing you? This is a clear difference between Jewish citizens in Germany who were persecuted.

Which side is supporting Palestine and Hamas? Only antifa is a 1930s group being brought back by democrats. American conservativea do not consider themselves Nazis. Yall want 1939 to come back, not us.

MAGA is no way fascist. We represent conservative americans who are being ostracized and taken advantage of by leaders with a 3rd world idea of leadership trying to fund the world with our work and money. Like antifa dressing in all black burning flags and tearing down goerge Washington statues. Like when was this ever the "American way"? When was not striving for the American Dream but American handouts ever the "American way"? When was shooting people on college campuses and during rallies ever the America way? Its out of control and its antifa, a 1930s group, who are the ones who are the ones causing big trouble for regular people.

Democracy and republic, while often used interchangeably, have distinct meanings, origins, and implications. Democracy is a system of government in which laws, policies, leadership, and major undertakings of a state or other polity are directly or indirectly decided by the “people,”.  In contrast, a republic is a form of government in which a state is ruled by representatives of the citizen body.

I have worked with many immigrants from Mexico and other Latin countries for many years.  I have had many discussions with them, especially concerning the drug cartels.

Many have talked about "The Tunnel". 

This falls into a rumor.  No evidence to back it up.  Just hearsay.

The Sinaloa cartel had built a true tunnel from Mexico to the U.S.  They played the long game.  They started over 50 miles deep in Mexico.  In a town with warehouses, they dug 500 feet down.  They tunneled to a spot over 100 miles inside the U.S., to another town with warehouses.

This seems preposterous.  The cartel has the money to pay for this.  Engineers, surveyors, geologists, and slave labor.

"El Chapo" Guzman is crazy enough to do this.  I've watched many docs and interviews with him to believe a possibility of a tunnel like this true.

If they built this behemoth with twin rail tracks allowing goods to travel back and forth, then drugs will always get into the U.S.

On the other hand, it might be misinformation from the cartel to make the U.S. go crazy looking for a phantom tunnel.

The only way to end rampant serious drug use is to stop the supply. Heroin and Meth are too addictive to allow 18 year olds to do. A couple hits and their life has turned into that of a third world homeless loser. Ive seen it happen a lot. Just too powerful and too hard to break that addiction.

Portland tried decriminalizing drugs. It didn't last long. We won't stop use but we could isolate it.

The worst physically addictive drugs in America are tobacco, alcohol and table sugar.

In 2022 numbers fentanyl killed  73,654 in the US.
Combined alcohol + tobacco + sugar-linked deaths: ~683,000 per year.



Quote
Here’s a rough comparison of deaths in the U.S. from key causes:

---

**Fentanyl (synthetic-opioid overdoses)**

* In 2022, about **73,654** people died from a fentanyl-involved overdose. ([USAFacts][1])
* In 2023, more than **107,000** drug overdose deaths occurred, with “nearly 70%” attributed to opioids such as fentanyl. ([DEA][2])

  * If ~70% of ~107,000 = ~74,900 deaths associated with opioids/fentanyl.
* So we can estimate fentanyl deaths on the order of ~70,000–75,000 per year in recent years in the U.S.

---

**Combined: Alcohol, Tobacco, Excess Sugar Consumption**

* Alcohol (excessive use): ~**178,000** deaths per year (2020-21 period, U.S.). ([CDC][3])
* Tobacco: ~**480,000+** deaths per year in the U.S. (including secondhand smoke) according to advocacy data. ([Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids][4])
* Excess sugar (or sugar-sweetened beverages / added sugar) – data are less precise for fully attributable deaths in the U.S., but some estimates suggest ~**25,000** U.S. deaths annually are linked to sugary-drink consumption. ([CMADocs][5])

  * More broadly, some global estimates link sugar-sweetened beverages to ~340,000 deaths worldwide. ([Prevention][6])
  * So the U.S. number is much smaller and the figure is uncertain.

**Adding them up** (using best-available numbers, with caution):

* Alcohol: ~178,000
* Tobacco: ~480,000
* Sugar-linked: ~25,000 (approx)
* **Combined total**: ~ **683,000** deaths per year (very rough estimate)

---

**Comparison**

* Fentanyl-related overdose deaths: ~70,000–75,000 per year.
* Combined alcohol + tobacco + sugar-linked deaths: ~683,000 per year.
* So the combined deaths from those three (alcohol, tobacco, sugar) are roughly **9 to 10 times** higher than the deaths from fentanyl overdose in the U.S., based on these rough figures.

---

**Caveats & important notes**

* The sugar-linked death estimate is much less certain and may under- or over-estimate the true number.
* “Sugar consumption” is a broad category and many deaths (e.g., from heart disease, diabetes) have multiple contributing risk factors; attribution is complex.
* Tobacco and alcohol death figures are reasonably well established; fentanyl/overdose numbers are also but can vary by methodology and year.
* These are annual numbers and reflect different types of risk (acute overdose vs chronic disease).
* The comparison is meant for illustrative scale; it does *not* suggest equivalence in nature of the risks.

---

If you like, I can look up the *most recent year* data (2023 or 2024) for all of these (fentanyl, alcohol, tobacco, sugar-linked) and provide a more up-to-date comparison. Would you like that?

I agree with that to some degree, insert RFK Jr (god forbid) someone regulates "big food" now. Irony that dems dont want that... but you are referring to slow deaths, and those people arent trashing cities with piles of garbage like heroin and meth users, and people aren't instantly dying like Fentnyl. There is a difference there to some degree.

Every day on my way to work down Marine Drive in portland I saw 40 RVs line the streets just trashing it. Thought I lived in India or something. Im PTSD to trash on the road now. And the leadership there was so worthless they didnt even know how to clean it up. They had to move WPGA tour because it was so nasty.

If you cant even run a small city, over tax it, over drug it, never clean it up, have largest car theft ring in country, and then want to talk to me about environmentalism and that your side knows how to lead better, I jist simply have to call them a nutcase and move on.

And tobacco, alcohol and sugar should be added to the controlled substances list immediately given the proven and MASSIVE death rates shown.  There is no non-hypocritical alternative.

Think about the kids.

My personal view is that all should have the freedom to do what they want so long as there is no negative impact on society. When I have to pay for your food or upkeep because of your bad choices then you are infringing on my freedom.

My personal opinion (for adult use, kids have no privileges):

Illegality should be weighted on social harm and level of physical addictiveness.  Physical addictiveness  undermines the ability of an adult to exercise unfettered free-will at a biological level.

If we took that logical approach, lets re-evaluate:

Quote
Summary Table
Substance                    Physically Addictive?   Evidence Level        Notes
Tobacco (nicotine)   ✅ Yes   Strong, decades of neurochemical and clinical data   High relapse rate
Alcohol   ✅ Yes   Strong, clinically defined withdrawal & tolerance   Medically dangerous withdrawal
Sugar   ⚠️ Not proven   Weak, mostly behavioral or animal-based   Habit-forming but not true physical addiction

Summary Table
Substance   Physically Addictive?   Psychological Dependence   Withdrawal Severity   Notes
Cannabis (THC)   ⚠️ Mild   Moderate   Mild to moderate   Dependence possible with chronic use
Psilocybin   🚫 No   Very low   None   Non-addictive; potential anti-addiction properties

Seems to me a logical approach if you want to tell adults what to do for their own good would be:

Tobacco and alcohol should just be flat out illegal.  Put on the same schedule as fentanyl.  No tolerance.  Black helicopters.  Ninja suited raids with machine guns.  The works.

Cannabis, Psilocybin, and sugar should be legal for adult use in the privacy of ones own home.

Or alternatively, all substances are an adults choice to possess and consume, what you make illegal are the behaviors.

If I'm drunk or stoned in public and creating disorder, jail.
If I'm drunk or stones while driving, jail.
If I'm drunk or stoned flying and airplane, jail.
If I'm drunk or stoned while at work, fired.

You make adults bad behavior illegal, not plants that were placed on this earth to grow naturally.

If we're going to blow up boats on the ocean (which I'm not against depending who they are), then I think the Declaration of War would have a little bit higher priority.

But yeah do the budget too.

And start clawing back powers that have been surrendered to the imperial presidency over the decades.  That is NOT what the founders intended.

[Edit]
I'd also settle for a just resolution to authorize force for the President.  The point needs to be made that Congress decides when America goes to war as the founders intended.  It establishes the principal that the President can wage war only because of the consent of the people elected representatives. But any such authorization should include tight constraints and periodic report back to Congress on progress regularly.  The authorization should be set to auto-expire in 90 days unless re-authorized by an additional vote.

If you want more free-range to act than that?  Get a Declaration of War.

Gold and Silver have been artificially held down for a while. I think something is going on. Many countries including America are buying it up. Also, perhaps the algorithms have been released to help it gain value. In anycase, I dont necessarily think its a bad thing, and the overall economy isn't in bad shape. We did see a GDP increase of .06 for Q2 to 3.8, and the market is at an all time high. While sure many folks are "struggling", we are still feeling the effects of high grocery prices and high interest rates, where unfortunately there isnt much a president can do, luckily we saw the tax cuts stay, or else people really would have been hurting. I think if he can find a way to keep lowering them more, it may help reduce those costs. Remember, that rampant inflation happened 2 months after Joe was elected. Not sure what happened, but the algorithms were let loose and the market bloomed like we havent seen, even the OTC market was seeing booms like never before. While some got rich, some lost it all in the remaining years of sell off dumps, then high interest rates to hurt housing market and extremely high prices on products due to that strange market boom. We are still trying to balance out of that.  The thing about high taxes and high interest rates is that they get you on both sides of the coin, and both are brought on by policies enacted outside of the president, for the most part.

Ironically Gold can sometimes temporarily crater at the beginning of a economic collapse.

As the Titanic rolls over, traders caught with margin have to liquidate everything not locked in, to keep their margin position from getting liquidated.
Ironically a bunch of panicking investors trying to sell their gold to preserve their margins can push the price lower.  Eventually they will lose both the gold and margin position.

Prices NEVER go back down. Inflation itself has slowed. But the prices haven't gone back down, and they won't, much. They never have. And income rarely keeps up with or outgrows inflation. Especially for the middle class. Only in rare cases, a couple of times in the last 50 years, has middle class wealth growth outpaced upper class wealth growth.

Understand, the government STILL spends massively more than it takes in. The government still prints money it does not have, and it is not supported by an actual gold standard. Until those two things stop, the value of the dollar will not go up, at best, it will stabilize.

This is an intentional cycle. It destroys individual security, and individual liberty, and grows the government. Go back and look at the 20th century. There are people driving this. If you look, and you're honest, you'll see and understand. If you don't, well, you're the problem.

The U.S. has had several periods of deflation, most notably during the Great Depression and the Great Recession.
The most severe deflation occurred from 1929 to 1933, when the consumer price index (CPI) fell by nearly 25%.
Other historical deflationary periods include 1815–1860 and 1865–1900.

It is obvious, from the study of history and economics, what drives inflation is the government spending more than it takes in, the government printing money that it has no standard of security for, and the attending debt that is nearly worthless. That floods the market with worthless money. The dollar becomes worthless.

This has been repeated, ad nauseam and ad infinitum, especially in the U.S. in the 20th century.

Slash the size and scope of the U.S. government to fit within the Constitution, and pay off the debt. The dollar will triple in value the minute that process begins. It will NEVER gain in value so long as that process does not happen.

This ain't hard to understand, Freidman and Sowell have been providing truth and facts for decades.

Government inflating the money supply is one cause of inflation, usually the most common, but it is not the only one.

Inflation is too much money competing for too few goods.

There are two sides to that equation.

The government can pump too much money into the system.
Population booms can create more demand than the system can initially provide  (think post-WWII housing shortage).
Shocks to the supply system can create inflation as well.  (Shutting down production during a pandemic, tariffs, boycotts, trade-wars, poor harvests, bird flu, energy embargos, etc, etc, etc)

Government spending, money printing, and worthless debt have been the primary factors in every case of runaway inflation. As well as other government interference in the economy. Including interference during epidemics and pandemics, which are often themselves caused by the government. And it is the government that drives what is historically permanent inflation, and the attending lack of wage growth.

Temporary inflation due to market corrections is a different matter entirely. Or, what would be temporary if not for, wait for it, government intervention.

They will of course first deny the Recession exists.  It takes 6-12 months before it is so obvious that they can't deny it any longer.

Then they will call it a mild recession. 

It won't feel mild to the retirees that lose their nest eggs, the pension funds that get caught skinny-dipping in dangerous equities when they should have stuck to fixed income instruments. 

The young people who will have lost the formative decade of establishing themselves economically which leads to all kinds of bad social knock-on effects like birthrate crash, more extreme politics and angry young people we see a economic system that does nothing but screw them and leave them little chance to enjoy the life their parents had, and is run by corrupt octarian oligarchs.

But inflation will drop, prices will deflate,  and the debt servicing explosion will be averted, for a while. ;)

And if the Constitution isn't enough, no other little law will be.  Then I guess it's time to throw hands.

The Congress should pass a resolution reminding the President that he will NOT commit this country to a war of unforeseen length without a Declaration of War from the People's representatives.

If he bucks, you impeach and convict and find another and give him the same ultimatum.

The president is not supposed to be a King.  He is supposed to be a bureaucrat who's main job is to faithfully and effectively implement the laws passed by Congress.

He has some limited authority to respond to an immediate crisis that needs addressing before the Congress can finish deliberation, but the authorization should have tight control and auto-expire every 90 days without subsequent re-authorization.

I guess the recruits haven't gotten the word. 

In 2025, military enrollment is expected to show significant improvement:
The Army anticipates meeting its enlistment goals, marking a turnaround after struggling in previous years.

All active-duty branches are reportedly meeting or exceeding their recruitment goals as of March 2025.

There is a possibility that recruitment could surpass pre-pandemic levels by the end of fiscal 2025.

Overall, the military is experiencing a recruiting momentum, with the Army hitting its target for the first time since 2021.

These trends indicate a positive outlook for military enrollment in 2025, following years of decline.

The 1973 War Powers Act sets a 60-day time limit for military actions in hostilities without a formal declaration of war or specific authorization from Congress.

Sounds a lot like what I was suggesting.  It only gives 60 days though.

BTW, I am not pro-Cartel or pro-Venezuala.  I am pro-Constitution. 

If Congress debates the matter on the open floor and there is a public vote and people put their names on it for history, if the decision is War then I will back the decision until another vote changes it.

But I blame Congress more.  Executives will ALWAYS try and grab more power.  It is human nature.  The founders understood that.  It is Congress' job to keep the executive in check and under tight control.

Congress needs to demand it's power back and use the impeachment\conviction as their club to do so.

Second, I'm not comfortable with the military being use to enforce Congressional law.  That is a Law Enforcement role.

Third, is your argument that that US military has the right to assassinate any individual, of any nationality, located in any other country or international waters, based on the idea that they MIGHT eventually cross our border illegally...someday?

Blowing up a boat in international waters is generally illegal and violates international law, with narrow exceptions for self-defense during an active armed conflict.

"BRICS influences South America by fostering economic cooperation, creating an alternative to Western-dominated institutions like the IMF and World Bank, and providing a platform for developing nations to gain geopolitical leverage. Brazil is a key player, but countries like Bolivia and Argentina have also sought to join, though this can lead to tensions with the United States due to geopolitical alignments with China and Russia. This influence is seen through increased trade and investment, and the creation of new financial institutions like the New Development Bank."

The same exact thing they are doing to Trump, and the same exact cabal Trump is fighting.  Thats why RFK is on his side. You guys really dont see it?

BS

I lost $10k, don’t even light my fire there.

Clinton was the last to leave with a surplus and the most money of any president by several degrees with $236 billion left.

Sure that flies well here.

Trump 1 left office in the red with a $3T deficit. Thats trillion with a T.

Stupid is as stupid does. Stupid is the person who takes illegal drugs when they know they are addictive. Don't try to make it sound like a sickness when they chose the path before they were addicted. They were not sick or addicted when they chose to take an addictive drug, they were just stupid. We spend far too much money trying to protect stupid people from themselves. They in turn have many stupid kids who just infest the country with more burden. Let them thin themselves out. Just like we used to do years a go.

Don't quite agree with this.  One wrong choice of a young adult or child could ruin there life.  Is it stupid yes.. would you consider it a mistake?? Yes.

Have you ever made a mistake?  Bad margarita mix?  At least that.    :neener:

Should these drugs be on street?  No.

We owe this to our youth in this country to get this sht off the streets so it isn't even an option.

I know good people who this stuff ruined.  Some managed to get sober, and they are the same good person they were before the mistake.  I know some that couldn't dig deep enough, and they are dead.

Like many things currently in our supermarket... they shouldn't even be available for consumption. Or available period.

Why don't we legalize all narcotics?  Open up narcotic stores and tax them.  Big Brother gets his cut.  Customers get what they want.

Funeral homes will get a spike in business.

So if these drugs brought in by these invaders are addictive such that few can break free then are they not truly poison? Are not those inflicting them upon us not worthy of extinction? You can't really have it both ways.

Anyone in their right mind that wants that stuff coming into this country isn't worth discussing it with.

This is like watching a sick version of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

The Zombie like depth of pure utter willful ignorance is repugnantly gross

The saddest part, they are actually convinced they have the slightest clue of what they spew like mental diarrhea.

Trust me, 70% of USA and every ally agrees, basically everyone but our enemies, who love these quacks.

I’m not going to white glove this.

It insult all our intelligence, which is the goal. Doesn’t matter if ya have one fact right as long as you leave thinking ya outsmarted and angered someone.

Trust me, ya embarrass yourself much more

So much anger and disgruntlement here.

Maybe everyone should sit around a large table and take a page out of Foreman's basement from That '70s Show.

The USS Gerald Ford and her battle group are heading to these waters now.

You do realize lower interest rates is not healthy for the dollar as it makes our debt less attractive for the rest of the world to buy it...

Without that happening this entire pozi scheme unravels and we invest in wheelbarrows while our military tries to convince the world to change it's mind and continue to prop up the bloated $$$..

Clinton's spending with the democrats with the republican takeover of congress, which coincidentally was the first republican congress in decades.


The republican tax cuts have resulted in record revenue. Both in the nineties and since the 2017 tax cuts. So, yeah, tax cuts work, even Kennedy said it.

Pretty much already tried in several areas of the U.S., and proven not to work.
