Mexico’s President Blames American Families
For Fentanyl Crisis: ‘Lack Of Love,’ ‘Hugs’

Original Article

Mexico’s president blamed “a lack of love” in American families for the deadly fentanyl crisis ravaging the U.S. President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said in a Friday news conference that the deterioration of values in American households has caused the drug crisis that claimed 70,000 American lives last year. “There is a lot of disintegration of families, there is a lot of individualism, there is a lack of love, of brotherhood, of hugs and embraces,” López Obrador said, according to the Associated Press.

50% of this loser's country is ran by cartels. We don't need any speeches or life lessons from a flunky like Obrador.

Not to excuse the corrupt politicians of Mexico (or anywhere else), but when the truth is spoken, how much does it matter where it comes from? America has gotten sicker for many years now and we reap the whirlwind of that at our own expense, our own culpability. Obrador's judgements would not merit attention were it not for the demand that we present for cartels to fill.

Well, he's not wrong -- but that does nothing to excuse his country's inability to stop cartels from shipping it and our inept p0resident from stopping them from crossing the border.

As much as I detest this corrupt fool, he has a point. We have, thanks to the left, a moral collapse in this country. To the left anything goes. Homosexuality is now celebrated, attacks on Christians (but not the murderous Muslims), violent attacks on pro-life centers. They want to think there will be no judgement.. I would like to think that the fentanyl is simply culling the herd of useless people but kids are dying after taking one pill. My recommendation is Reaper Drones wiping out the cartels in Mexico and the border states. Obrador might complain but tough s***. Won’t happen under Biden, of course. The Dems want the destruction of of this country and they are getting there.

Mexico has become a manufacturing subsidiary for China in the manufacture and distribution of fentanyl. Mexico's President would not live another day, if he said anything against the drug industry that controls Mexico.

Who is the problem, the supplier or consumer? Like cigarettes and alcohol, it's not for lack of information that people (and not just kids) buy and ingest this poison of unknown strength and origin. So,, for those who think designated illegality is the answer, who does one chase first? It is obvious that law enforcement cannot stem the tide of supply. Then, our society is unwilling to crack down on consumers, ruin some poor kid's future, knowing death is one alternative, along with lifetime misery of various sorts. Toss in racial and border politics and it's a mess beyond our "democratic" and largely corrupt government at all levels. But, that's the way it is.

Try as I might, I can't argue with him. Every time one of those tearful mothers of a dead drug user gets on TV and uses the excuse that her son only bought a little Valium or Xanax or some other prescription drug off the street or the Internet and "he didn't know it contained Fentanyl" I want to slap her. Don't condone your child's use of ANY drug on a regular basis, even Tylenol. It establishes a pattern and associates drugs with feeling better.

As former President Donald Trump is preparing to be indicted by the Democrat District Attorney of Manhattan Alvin Bragg, some of his critics are slamming the indictment as partisan politics. Andrew McCarthy, former chief assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, who has never been a fan of Trump’s, over the weekend blasted Bragg’s case against the former president as “nonsense” and a “blatantly partisan exercise of raw power.” “This is a classic, invidious selective prosecution. It is being launched strictly for political purposes,” he wrote in a column for the National Review Online.

President Joe Biden issued the first veto of his presidency on Monday – stopping a Republican-led bill that would overturn his administration's rule letting retirement account planners take 'environmental, social and governance,' referred to ESG factors into account. Because climate change, social impacts and ongoing lawsuits have significant financial repercussions, administration officials argue that the investment limits are courting possible disaster. Republicans in Congress who pushed to overturn the Labor Department's actions say ESG investments provide sizable funding to 'woke' political agendas, such as a drive against climate change, rather than on earning the best returns for savers.

Dr. Ben Carson said the idea of arresting and filing charges against former President Donald Trump is “absolutely absurd” and “embarrassing.” Carson, who served as the secretary of Housing and Urban Development under Trump, was interviewed by Newsmax Sunday and did not hold back on the issue. He specifically pointed to Venezuela and how quickly that once idyllic country collapsed under this kind of political corruption.“Look how quickly Venezuela changed,” he said. “That is high in my thinking because I’ve been there several times when it was a wonderful place to visit, with beautiful resorts and hotels.”

The establishment media have continued to defend the Biden family business schemes from House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer’s (R-KY) probe, calling the findings “debunked,” “phony,” and “wild.” Comer’s investigation, launched in November, has begun to yield results. This week, Comer revealed the Biden family business received a $3 million wire transfer and subsequent payments from a Chinese energy company between 2015 and 2017 upon receiving Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) from the Treasury and subpoenaed records from Bank of America. The $3 million payment was in turn split between four Biden family members — Hunter, James, Hallie, and an unidentified “Biden” — from State Energy HK Limited.

The requests, and the couple’s apparent holding out until their wishes are granted, may throw the historic event into “chaos,” royal insiders fear. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex — who recently received their invitations to the May 6 ceremony — are still mulling over whether or not they will make the 5,459-mile-long trip. If they do go, the exiled royals will be met with a “cold shoulder” from senior members of the royal family

DeSantis is widely rumored to be preparing to run against Trump for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. Haley was the first to enter the race after Trump. Jason Miller, a Trump adviser and the former CEO of right-wing free speech app Gettr noted a 'radio silence' from the two since the rumors gained momentum early on Saturday.
