Thank you very much and God bless you.

Separately, Paloma Valencia and Juan Daniel Oviedo, both center-right, qualified for the run-off in the Presidential election. One of them (probably Valencia) will succeed the current left-wing President.

Hi repeal. How about you speak to this matter.

Well, Red, the way I see it,
if both candidates are still alive,
then both of them are “cartel approved”.
Otherwise their headless bodies
would have been found in a ditch somewhere.

And, repeal, what do you think of other right-of-center Latin Americans? Like Millie of Argentina and Bukele of El Salvador? Or the ten others who joined with President Trump today, to fight the cartels. They’re all alive so, isn’t that proof enough that they must be cartel-approved?

In an oddly related matter, let me ask you about the Puritan proof that somebody is a witch. Throw them in water and, if they float, they’re a witch, if they drown, they’re not a witch.

It is too bad that you can’t afford my hourly fee

I thought the only patients you would accept would be the dead ones. Others would be cartel-approved.

It’s good to read the rest of the results. Go to Google translate, put in the url, and then translate paragraph by paragraph.

the cartels were pretty well wiped out by previous conservative presidents. That is why we hear about drugs from Venezuela: The drug cartels moved there.

But the hit squads killed a lot of innocents so the last president was a left wing guy who was once a member of the anti government group. Yet now he is cooperating with the USA.

There is a back story about the US is now helping Ecuador, who recently voted in a conservative president, destroy the drug cartels there.

A recent news story about Rubio etc. are devising a Shield of the Americas, to counter drug cartels and people smugglers and other bad guys.
