Noé Ramos was chatting with voters, sharing breakfast with supporters of his mayoral reelection bid in his hometown in northern Mexico. “It’s something very special that people give me a glass of water, that they invite me to have a taco, to have a tamale,” Ramos said in a Facebook livestream last month featuring him at an outdoor table in El Mante in Tamaulipas state. “It motivates me to keep on working to make things better. … I will not defraud them.”

An hour later, Ramos was dead. An attacker approached him on the campaign trail and stabbed him multiple times.

The same day, April 19, a mayoral candidate in the southern state of Oaxaca was found dead, two days after he was reported missing.

I used to think America was a beacon back when I was a teenager in the 80’s. Mexico and other countries were dirt holes and totally corrupt. I’m 53 now. America is the most corrupted country hands down no contest. I’m fighting to get it back. 🥲

And the stupid bass turds illegally here from Mexico are still wearing Mexican flags on their hats and clothes and all over their vehicles. I saw a real fast learner yesterday. The boy already had a “disabled” card hanging from his mirror and a Mexican flag license plate on his dashboard. Still looking for that “better life” I guess.

This article in La Times is a flimsy attempt to argue that we should not import Mexican cartels as we have been doing, so courageously and wantonly under this ‘fundamental transformation’ administration.

No surprise here, Cartels are funding the DNC to keep the border open. Once Trump is elected he will shut down the border and Cartels income will become a drivel and the Dems and Obozo will lose their cashflow.

Coming soon if not here, thanks to Biden and his fellow

Trumpophobia (fright over Trump) is cresting with his polls.

As Trump continues to show leads in critical swing states, as various lawfare-inspired cases against him seem to the public to be more persecutions than prosecutions, and as Joe Biden appears daily more incoherent and lost, the left on spec has resorted to warning the nation about all the supposedly catastrophic consequences of a future Trump presidency.

Edit

The Trump-o-phobes are mentally ill. They are blinded by their fears and self-loathing that they project onto people, who are happy, mentally stable and coherent!

Coming to America. Right now they are in the “gold phase.” Soon, the lead phase.

Biden's funding the cartels by allowing them to sell American citizenship for $10,000 a person - and $30,000 per Chinese citizen.
