Instead of Venezuela, Invade Mexico; That's Where The Fentanyl Comes From

As the Schloss-Blog watches the U.S. try to start a war with Venezuela, we keep asking, why not Mexico? That's where most of the fentanyl comes from into the United States.

Any AI search will tell you that most fentanyl is manufactured in Mexico by transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), although using source materials primarily from China.

So, of course, Trump is inciting a war with Venezuela, while negotiating away national security technology to the Chinese (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/us/politics/china-trump-trade-security-chips-minerals.html).

I worked at a foodservice magazine, tops in the country, Restaurants & Institutions. It was the No. 1 magazine in its category and the second-largest trade in the country at the time to Computer World. 

I learned to appreciate the restaurant and institutional foodservice industries, working with tireless colleagues, reporting on all aspects of it.

So now, as Trump prepares to starve 42 million people to death, my restaurant, foodservice and gosh darn humanitarian backgrounds stir one question: where are the f_ckin' Democrats? These 42 million people need their SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits.

Where are you, Democrats? This was all I could find. (https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQfPWA0E-PH/)

Otherwise, crickets.

Who does Mother-F_cker, Rep. Clay Higgins of Georgia think he is?

He says SNAP recipients should chill and stop smoking crack. (https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/gop-rep-slams-snap-recipients-195950715.html)

Guess he's just the next Republican in support of death to the people who rely on what used to be called food stamps.

Well, what do you expect? He's from Georgia.

Interesting how Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has been attacked by members of her own party for calling for the continuance of SNAP benefits, let alone Affordable Care Act (ACA) continuation.

Republicans have repeatedly called ACA an abomination, yet have offered no alternative to it whatsoever. 

Now its rates are going to skyrocket, to the point of unaffordability, as Republicans discontinue funding for it and won't consider negotiating an extension of it.

Millions depend on it, including Republicans. Greene has lambasted her Republican colleagues for what is essentially a virtual sunsetting of the act. They have no alternative, nothing (https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/marjorie-taylor-greene-rips-mike-191732869.html)

This sportswriter is sick of the lack of defense in basketball (when did you last see an NBA player take a charge?) and the lack of tackling ability in football. Everyone tries to strip the ball instead of trying to tackle the ball-carrier.

Good luck with all of that. Nobody in the NBA plays defense until the playoffs. Nobody in the NFL tackles with their heads up, so they can actually see, actually hit what they're trying to tackle. Subsequently, they miss the ball-carrier.

Happens all the time.

Good athletes. Poor coaching, poor technique, basketball and football alike.

Good night, Mrs. Calabash. Here's to you, Nashville, Tennessee.

I'm off the next two Sunday nights on Radio Free Phoenix. The Bohemian NightCat, John Kirk DeRitis, and then Golfin' Joe Catanzaro will be sitting in for me, respectively. Thanks, gentlemen.
