Finally. The contractor from Hell sent me their financial statement.
It took me several weeks of non-stop harassment to the point where I stated I couldn’t guarantee the audit committee would allow them to pass without a CAP even though they scored high enough to pass. They sent it, and I don’t need to deal with these clowns until next August.

AMLO says the Cuban embargo is “unjust” and will continue selling oil to Cuba. A recent development from their communist lea—wait. They’ve had normal trade relations with Cuba for decades. This is a meaningless gesture.

“The cartels are so serious about no longer producing FintaLOL, it made the WSJ.”
I’ll believe it when I see it.
I can see this happening. If you’re losing money by a combination of killing off current customers and scaring new customers from trying your product(s), there could be a real incentive for the cartels to curtail selling Fentanyl.
I don’t see how they are losing money though.
Dead people don’t buy more product?
My business! Repeat customers!
And?
Allow Nick Naylor, of the Academy of Tobacco Studies explain how.

Tobacco has been a a major cash crop for centuries.
Correct, given it doesn’t kill the customer immediately.
The article has an unnamed source saying:
“A midlevel Sinaloa cartel operative, who used to deal in chemical precursors needed to make the synthetic opioid, said the Chapitos are leaving the business in part because they wanted the U.S. to shift its crackdown efforts to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, their chief rival and another leading fentanyl producer.”
Which would also make sense, let the US go after your rivals.
let the US go after your rivals.
The Bin Laden model. worked for him.
The order comes from the “Chapitos,” the group led by the four sons of imprisoned drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, who transformed the Sinaloa cartel into a global empire managing the supply of narcotics, from Mexican heroin to Colombian cocaine and fentanyl made with precursors from Asia.
My guess is they don’t actually have enough control over the Chinese fentanyl.
Lol:
He (a lab operator who is currently not selling fentanyl hopes an upsurge in the demand for Mexican brown heroin or a more refined product known as China White will tide him over the end of fentanyl. And he said trafficking in guns from the U.S. is another option.
It’s honest work.

Along the same line, Bananabro?
“We are on the verge of signing new agreements with the opposition, agreements beneficial for peace and the upcoming election,” he said, referring to presidential elections due to be held in Venezuela in 2024.
Translated: we’re just gonna make sure the election goes the correct way, instead of attempting to jail the opposition candidate like those corrupt Norteamericanos.
Well, Maduro’s regime has an outstanding arrest warrant for the previous opposition candidate, who is living in exile in the U.S., and has issued a 15 year ban on holding any public office for the leading opposition candidate for the upcoming election.
Which leads one to believe that if the leading opposition candidate wins the primary, she’ll be jailed for the crime of running for office.
Their corruption re: attempting to jail the leading opposition candidate is even more blatant than ours.
El Presidente Good Luck With That

Before Schengen removed the borders an acquaintance of mine was detained by Austrian soldiers for illegally crossing the border while out for a jog. They held him for a couple hours until they figured out he was a clueless idiot and sent him back.
It’s strongly recommended to have appropriate documents when you cross a border between Schengen countries even now. A person was taken off the train heading from Budapest to Vienna because he didn’t have his passport; I think he claimed to be British.
Once I saw that an Indian (dot) family accidentally drove to Canada without passports or visas. I believe they were able to return to the US. That’s what the Canadian officials told them.
I suppose that’s possible, despite the border control stations at most entrances to Canada.
I once accidentally drove into New Jersey while visiting Philadelphia. Took a while to recross the river back into Philly so I could go to our hotel.
Yes, they stopped at the Canadian border control station. That’s where I saw them. They didn’t go deeper into Canada. The same happened to the Texan woman in the link only in Mexico.
My buddies and I used to drive to Canada without passports or visas all the time. The drinking age in Norf Dakota was 21 – the drinking age in Canada was 18. It was a simpler time back then.
Same at college in Buffalo. Never once needed papers.
Driving up to drink in Canada at 19 was a rite of passage… back when you didn’t need a passport at least.
It was in 2010 or so. And foreigners always had to have a passport (and a visa if necessary) to cross the US-Canada border.
Shure.

Relatives of the

Might be exceedingly difficult to figure out which are genuine refugees fleeing a toxic regime they don’t support, versus actual terrorists. But you’d think DeSantis would have a gut level understanding that, like Cubans hating communists, some people in Gaza quietly hate Hamas and want to GTFO.
All true but inviting in a million of them is a colossally foolish idea that only the Squad is pushing and that should not even be part of any discussion.
At this point I expect Mexico to announce they’ll take as many as want to come — then they’ll just bus them to the border like the rest.
There’s a reason none of their neighbors want them.
You’re probably right, it’s closer to 2.2 million.
All? Assuredly not. Most? Assuredly so. Look at the demographics.
Importing 1,000,000 of them will bring in a LOT of violent antisemites. Thee’s no possible way it couldn’t
Sure, why the fuck not?
Retards.
Did they say how much for each?
I’m guessing $90 billion for Ukraine, $10 billion for Israel (which I support on principle… but they damned well should be able to buy their own Raytheon shit) and $0.10 for the border. But if the House shoots it down, it will be all “The Republicans wouldn’t work on a common sense border funding bill!”
No.
But Raytheon may still be a buy.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday once again stepped in to leave in place the federal government’s ban on so-called “ghost guns.” These are unassembled and unmarked guns that can be bought online and then assembled into fully operative guns.
In August 2022, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives issued regulations that required any such disassembled gun parts to carry serial numbers and required anyone buying them to pass a background check, in the same manner as in-person gun buyers. The gun manufacturers challenged the regulations in court, and Federal Judge Reed O’Connor in Texas issued a nationwide injunction barring the rule from going into effect.
Such wrong. It’s kind of impressive.
Back during the cold war, I remember hearing stories about people accidentally driving into a Soviet Bloc country and being detained while the officials decided if they were spies or not. It was definitely something you thought about if you were traveling close to the border.

A man who spent more than 16 years in prison in Florida on a wrongful conviction was shot and killed Monday by a sheriff’s deputy in Georgia during a traffic stop, authorities and representatives said.
Leonard Allen Cure, 53, was identified by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, which is reviewing the shooting.
And nothing else happened.

It sounds like he freaked out when the cop tried to arrest him. hard to blame him. And, of course, the cops don’t/won’t say why he was pulled over to begin with.
Yeah, that’s what it sounds like. Pulled over for some BS reason and arrested for drugs is the most typical scenario.

Do you use a big magnifier or have the Gods been kind to you eyesight?
My eyesight sucks. But I’m at the stage of nearsightedness where I can take off my glasses and get a clear view of small objects close to my face.
I’ve tried using a magnifyer, but it gets in the way, and the limited range of in-focus has my paint brushes hitting the rim.
I’m the opposite. LASIK gave me distance but accelerated my near vision degradation. It’s particularly annoying when I’m tying flies or reading labels!
I’ve been using cheaters, but I’ve thought about a light/magnifier. Sounds like I might be better off pushing these as far as I can.
I think the lettering on labels and instructions has actually gotten smaller.
Well, the packages have gotten smaller, so they had to shrink the font along with it.
I got chicken gizzards for lunch and husband is fake-gagging. 🙄
Gizzards as in just the gizzard, or as a catch-all for a myriad of offal?
Just gizzards. I’ve never heard the word “gizzards” used as a catch-all for “various offal.” A gizzard is a gizzard and a liver is a liver, and the other various offal gets turned into pink stuff.
It may be a regional thing. But growing up “Gizzards” could refer to the whole pack of offal included with a bird, which at least included a gizzard, a heart, a liver, a neck (not technically offal, but it was in the bag) and I’m not sure if anything else was packaged in there.
My only complaint about gizzards proper is that the muscle tends to be tough (but it could be how we cooked it)
No, we call the collection in the bag “giblets.” We slice them and sautee them and put them in the gravy.
Ah, *bleep* you’re right. I misremembered.
Appologies. Sorry.
I like the chewiness of the gizzards.
I’ve said it before, but I teethed XX on gizzards. Perfect because of the chewiness. I also fed my kids pumpkin pie for bfast. Those things may have been where I went wrong …
Not a darn thing wrong with pumpkin pie (or any sort of pie) for breakfast. If it makes you – or them – feel better, call it “open-face Pop Tarts.”
Also, potato chips are extra-thin, extra-crispy home fries, so also breakfast-acceptable.
It is properly called Trayf.

The burning of fossil fuels, such as oil, gas and coal, is the chief driver of the climate crisis.
As had been widely expected, a major U.N. report published last month confirmed that the world is currently not on track to meet the long-term goals of the 2015 Paris Agreement, a landmark accord that aims to pursue efforts to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels.
The world has warmed by around 1.1 degrees Celsius after more than a century of burning fossil fuels as well as unequal and unsustainable energy and land use. Indeed, it is this temperature increase that is fueling a series of extreme weather events around the world.
I think they tack that onto the end of every story, like California cancer warnings.
Story is nominally about Greta Thunberg getting theatrically arrested at a London protest.
They said, citing a bunch of evidence that is highly speculative. Fossil fuels are now the “chief driver”? I sorta thought, according to the narrative, it’s a contributor but no one knows how much of one. I also thought the extreme weather bit was unproven.
You misspelled ‘disproven’.
This global warming crap is the biggest scam in history. It is so comically ridiculous and transparent that words cant really describe it.
The concept that humans can control the climate is ludicrous on its face. It’s like a whole gang of people (led by Greta) are going to march into the ocean and hold back the tide by sticking their hands out.
Like all propaganda, it has to be repeated ad infinitum in order to be effective.
If you break the propaganda chain, you will receive seven years bad luck.
“Indeed, it is this temperature increase that is fueling a series of extreme weather events around the world.”
Actually, it’s Mountain Dew.
My brother and his friend were deer hunting in southern NM and filled out on opening day. They had the rest of the weekend free so decided to go to Juarez to party. Normally they park on the El Paso side of the Santa Fe Bridge and walk over. Somehow they wound up on a controlled-access road straight into Mexico. Besides their camping gear they had two deer rifles on board and two dead deer in the trunk. They managed to convince the Mexican border guys that they had taken a wrong turn and were allowed to turn around.
