Good old sanctuary states, making sure meth heads get their fix.

Best series ever, I must have watched the entire series 3 times “Yeah, Mr. White! Yeah, science!” LOL. What a shame that RJ Mitte passed last week, I couldn’t believe it.

Sounds like el Chapo’s guys, the Sinaloa cartel. El Chapo used to feed people to his pet tigers.

Manufacturing the illegal drugs Americans refuse to do.

We sold my mother-in-laws house in Palmdale right when Covid hit to a group of middle eastern men. They bought the property because they wanted the old chicken barn on it. Once they owned it, they tore down the old chicken barn and put up a brand new building on the same 40x200’ footprint. They also put up an 8 foot tall fence around the entire 3 acre property. Shortly there after they were busted for doing something illegal on the property. The bad news is that if they used Chinese pesticides on whatever they were growing the property will be declared uninhabitable since the pesticides do not decompose, and they are nasty. We feel sorry for all of her former neighbors who have been burned by this.

A meth lab in Lancaster is like a sushi bar in Tokyo.

Lock them inside and toss in a couple of highway flares.

That area has always been known for meth and other illegal drug labs.

Large open desert so the smells won’t be noticed and they can “cook” in peace.

I’m no fan of Boosh (anymore), but let’s not conflate legal immigrants with illegal immigrants.

“We sold my mother-in-laws house in Palmdale.” Sad story. Palmdale, Lancaster, Victorville and California City are sketchy areas. Even Boron gets a few sketchy neighbors. I blame the weak pope Leo XIV for being a role model of irresponsibility and slackerness. My friends were homesteaders in Boron in the 1920’s and I asked them, what did you eat? They said we ate cooked lizards, snakes and rabbits.
