    Part of that could be so very easily by legalizing marijuana in all states of the United state of America

  13. @user-cw6ul8lm6n on February 18, 2024 at 5:37 am

    Congratulations to American law enforcement agencies (Sherif Departments), for conducting your own investigations of such vast illegal drug trafficking networs that affect us all. For helping take down those that keep us in a threatened state South of the border. And for helping demostrate to Mexican authorities that Chinese trade, with all the importing of cloned brand items to be sold here (Mexico) is part of the overall money laudering enterprise. One that allows Chinese nationals interfere with security affairs and help incite more violence in my country. Thanks*

  18. @CONEVTV on February 18, 2024 at 5:40 am

    Why isn’t the DEA out here? Because they’re focusing on lower level offenders in the inner cities, in order to pacify the masses; meanwhile drug overlords & international criminals run amuck.



  19. @Robert-eg2oy on February 18, 2024 at 5:40 am

    The Chinese mafia run the Chinese Spa’s in the U.S., the question is how do they get all these Chinese prostitutes into this country ?

    According to the constitution all Americans are entitled to BEAR ARMS….. ( very concerning ),
    WHERE in the constitution does it say we MUST provide 95% of the ARMS the MEXICAN CARTELS USE???
    They destabilize the security of American citizens, SO why on this green earth are we helping them with the tools to destabilize us???
    THIS DOESN’T MAKE SENSE!!!!
