I have been down with a terrible cold and strep throat for days. Paris had surgery for her bumps, nothing is cancerous and this time around she is reacting much better, and we have been napping together, she is so precious.
Okay so here's the deal: You might know this already, but a few days back on his whirlwind tour through Central America, AMLO blasted Joe Biden for not coming through with more dinero for the migrantes down south and monetary support for a couple of AMLO's suggested "plans".
So, rather than trying to explain this with a foggy head, I'm going to come back and give you guys the most recent links I could find on USA's monetary assistance (there are a lot of them) to to the triangle countries and you can read for yourself what is going on. Once again, no oversight at all with these proposed "plans"(hahaha this is familiar, just like the oil & everything else), corruption up the ying yang,not to mention highest level drug dealings and money laundering with Hernandez and others in power positions, and huge amounts of remittances daily, monthly, yearly it will blow your mind. So, if you don't already,after reading these links you will know where the bullshit is coming from. And it is not from D.C.
Meanwhile, to hell with Putin's fucking Victory Parade, this should hold you over I will try to get back here with those links asap:
I love this song: - as you know, U2 has been playing in the bomb shelters of Ukraine. I don't see any freakin Mexican Bands.
..........
Mucho amor - BTW, that video was put up from Brazil where there are thousands and thousands and thousands of Ukraine supporters.

Slight emergency, another H20 line break ...looked up USGS and no earthquakes. Meanwhile:
Last month in Tijuana, there were 141 executions bringing the year to date total to 555 killed in the drug trafficking business. We are edging up to the low 20's so far in May.

AMLO Wants To Know...Where's The Beef?
Sorry, water line fixed, whew. Here are the links on USA's monetary aid to the triangle area. AMLO has inferred that Joe Biden is a cheapskate. Fox smells his own tracks first. Also, opinion pieces from a year ago, and on many of these, watch the figures for remittances, it is incredible. Also, most of you already know AMLO wants to get rid of US Agencies like USAID - he labels them part of the "neo-liberal" plan to to suffocate and eradicate the Latin world. Have fun.
