Feds make major drug bust in Minnesota

Minnesota isn't just where fraudsters go to thrive. Apparently, it's also where drug cartels thrive. According to Fox9, "Federal prosecutors have indicted two men in connection with one of the largest methamphetamine busts in the history of Minnesota. Joel Casas-Santiago, 46, and Guillermo Mercado-Charparro, 44, are charged with conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine."

Further, Dustin Grage is reporting "Guillermo Mercado-Chaparro, 46, is also charged with illegal reentry after previously being deported as an illegal alien." In this tweet, Grage reports that "Acting U.S. Attorney Joseph Thompson said in a statement:

"A 900-pound haul like this doesn’t just show intent to distribute, it shows intent to poison entire communities. We will not let Minnesota become a distribution hub for cartel-scale operations. This prosecution is just the beginning."
Then there's this: KIMT's report:

Thanks to the Trump administration, south-of-the-border cartels are facing resistance they didn't face during the previous administration. Secretary Mayorkas didn't enforce the law. Secretary Noem doesn't suffer from that offliction. Under Secretary Noem's and President Trump's leadership, they're taking the fight to the cartels. The Biden administration's open borders policy has been replaced with a policy with more teeth in it.

Drug traffickers are still mainly interested in making profits by selling their poison. Disruptions, especially major disruptions like this bust, change the cartel's bottom line.The cartels won't stop selling their poison. With increased law enforcement, though, drug trafficking will be far less profitable.

The difference between administrations couldn't be more distinct. The previous administration let the cartels run things. This adminmistration is making life miserable for the cartels. I want the cartels worried about what happens next. This bust is a great first step in restoring sanity to society. Finally, making life miserable for the cartels raises our standard-of-living.

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp...

Has Sue Ek come face-to-face with DFL hijinks?

Image
Apparently, Minnesota state and county employees aren't that attentive to details. Last night, a frequent reader of this blog sent me a statement from House Speaker-designate Lisa Demuth, R-Cold Spring ." She issued the following statement regarding vote tabulation errors, malfunctions, and discrepancies that have taken place in Sherburne and Scott Counties: The errors and discrepancies we've seen this cycle are intolerable and unacceptable. A free and fair election demands sunlight on the process. These incidents fuel distrust and raise questions about the integrity and accuracy of election results. Without an opportunity to observe or respond Sherburne County added newly-found votes to the total. Just a day later, Scott County announced an unspecified "ballot distribution error" and "ballot scanning malfunction" that triggered an abrupt re-scan of more than 20,000 ballots. There was less than two hours notice between the public announcement and the be...

Is this Tim Walz's 'One Minnesota'?

Image
Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, testifed last Thursday that Minnesota isn't a sanctuary state. Predictably, Gov. Walz wasn't entirely honest with Tom Emmer during Rep. Emmer's cross-examination of Walz. During Emmer's powerful cross-examination, Gov. Walz insisted that Minnesota isn't a sanctuary state. Keep that in mind while reading this article . First, this article isn't for the faint-of-heart. Next, it's obvious that Gov. Walz isn't comfortable telling the truth. Let's get into the report. Pay particulalr close attention to the dates included in the report. The report opens by saying "A Guatemalan national convicted of sexually abusing his stepdaughter is now facing federal charges after allegedly dragging a deportation officer down a Bloomington street with his car during a violent immigration arrest attempt. According to a criminal complaint, Roberto Carlos Munoz, 39, was charged with assaulting a federal officer with a deadly we...
