Worry crossed their faces as they crammed onto wooden benches outside the clinic, shuffling dust-covered cowboy boots and plastic sandals.

They had come with questions.

Last year, farmers here watched helplessly as drought withered their corn and bean crops for a fifth straight year. With nothing to sell and no food supplies to feed their families, they’ve entered this growing season without any reserves.

When you are too dumb to even get an education degree, you go to journalism.

Those of us who actually know STEM f*rt in your general direction.

Always have been, always will be.

But if we’re hated so much why are they coming? And waving their country’s flag singing their national anthem.

It’s not climate. It’s socialism.

They are parroting what one of the goofball Democrat candidates said a couple of days ago.

The media figures it costs them nothing to carpet bomb the masses with such ludicrous arguments for leftist policy, so even if only a handful of chumps believe it, the disinformation campaign is a success.

Just send some abortionists there to offer children’s blood sacrifices to the old rain god Chac Mool. Libs probably would love that.

The dust bowl drought of the thirties lasted about 10 years. That wasn’t global warming, but the arrogant media believes they can get by with these lies because the viewers are ignorant of history these days.

Last time I looked, Central America was covered in tropical rainforest. I guess these poor saps lived in the only town where it didn't rain, LOL.

Why don’t they invest in water purification plants and water their crops ? They are surrounded on both sides with WATER.
