What We Have Now
A $51.6 billion US Dept. of Homeland Security that fails to keep cartel product from showing up all over the US.
Billions of dollars spent every 12 months to keep bad people from coming here to do bad things.
Newspeople ask zero questions in this area.
US Troops at the border, El Chapo takedown, opioid lawsuits, REAL ID, Homeland Security grant money, CBP social media posts, strict post 911/GWOT security protocols, and a $51.6 billion US Dept. of Homeland Security fail to prevent cartel product from arriving in the US.
Voting is highly emphasized in American culture. Asking questions related to public policy takes a lower priority.
Are newspeople forbidden to ask questions related to Homeland Security funding and performance?
In the news:
November 18th 2020 Marine Glisovic KATV News Video
What’s the DEA doing to disrupt drug trafficking in Arkansas?
“More drugs than ever are being smuggled into the states from across the border of Mexico – so what exactly are Drug Enforcement Administration agents in Arkansas doing to try and stop it?”
“DEA Assistant Special Agent in Charge for the Little Rock field office, Justin King, told KATV that the biggest drug threat to Arkansans is Methamphetamine. He said that most of the meth being trafficked in and out of this state is being made in Mexico.”
Do the good guys who made the local busts notify the good guys at the border about the weak links in their process?
Welcome Home Troops
Thanks for risking your ass in Iraq & Afghanistan-working to keep bad people from coming here to do bad things.
Don’t worry-The Super Bowl and public affairs will be safe:
Newspeople avoid asking questions, so we’ll ask a few here. Our questions appear in bold type.
Looks like meth is still arriving in the US after getting past Gen. Milley’s operation Macho Swagger and a $51.6 billion US Dept of Homeland Security.
Has General Milley’s bold pledge to clobber the cartels played any role in keeping meth from entering the US?
Would the DEA be out of work if General Milley was going to act on his pledge to clobber the cartels?
State-Run Media/CBP Social Media Posts
CBP tells us:
Nothing gets past @CBP’s K9 units!
Nothing gets past @CBP’s K9 units?
Surely, a free and independent press will step up and ask for clarification on this wild CBP claim.
Hey newspeople, how did 2,224 pounds of meth tied to the Sinaloa cartel enter Riverside County, if nothing gets past @CBP’s K9 units?
Why is there a deadly fentanyl problem in Eastern Washington if nothing gets past CBP social media posts?
Have opioid lawsuits played any role in keeping deadly fentanyl from arriving in Eastern Washington?
Newspeople post whatever press release is handed off.
A 5th grade book report would require more in the way of asking questions.
