The U.S. Coast Guard offloads drugs at Port Everglades

Does the mafia still run the port? Hopefully the stash is well guarded.

This is how the cartel pays off the government. We government squeezes, the cartel provides value.

Age old trick. Funny how the captured inventory and funds are not ever accounted. Imagine that why don’t ya!!

President Trump shut down the wide open border where the surge of illegals were bringing in drugs for the cartels so now the cartels have had to do a quick pivot to ocean smuggling.

Now Trump Administration is shutting down the sea lanes.

This is what happen when you have a President and country that actually is serious about shutting down the drug traffic instead of paying lip service while taking bribes under the tables from the cartels.

First USAID and firing government workers who are paid Democrat operatives with no show jobs, and now shutting down the drug cartels, Trump is hitting the wallets of this political opposition.

In Washington, if you want to get things done you don't drain the swamp, you cut the funding.

. President Trump just shut down at least 50 million in cartel bribe money that would have went to corrupt politicians and public officials with this operation.

In Singapore if you're found with more than a specific amount of certain drugs...presumably fentanyl,heroin,coke,meth,etc...you're deemed to be a distributor under Singapore law (even if you don't)...and the *mandatory* penalty is death.

I would vigorously support the same law here in the US.

“”” 75,000 pounds of illegal narcotics.”””


And most of it was cocaine. The illegal drug market in the USA is huge.

In the past few months I have been watching criminal court cases dealing with arraignments and probable cases hearings.

In far too many cases the defendants have a drug habit.

I am guessing that nationwide we have several million people with an illegal drug addiction.

It is past time to put these addicts into forced sobriety.
