A Tamaulipas pastor I know had his wife of 15 years divorce him to become a buchona. Obsessed with surgeries and beauty treatments, she hops from bed to bed with delincuentes and freely crosses the US border to party and shop at the Houston Galleria. All this while journalists like Owen Shroyer have their passports confiscated and are sentenced to jail. Welcome to Biden's America, where criminals are rewarded and patriots punished.

Yes, it seems tough to be a pastor and compete for status with narcos in modern Mexico - or to be a journalist or anything else. I have talked to a lot of priests who have experienced violence and intimidation in Mexico. Do you know of a lot of pastors who suffer the same? Best there.

Thanks estimado Andrew good point. Of course, it was under Trump that the Mexican General Cienfuegos had his drug trafficking charges dropped and was returned to Mexico. Best there mate.

That was AG Barr after the election in 2020. The timeline matters: Barr knew as a lame duck Trump was preoccupied with the election, not policy, and took advantage of the situation to help out some old cronies at Langley. I bet (Trump) was never briefed on the matter. Barr is as corrupt as he is incompetent.

Thanks much there Chalmers. That is an interesting point and appreciated you sharing. This is a case I want to get more into. It would be good to know exactly how that decision was made. All best and keep in touch there.

Perhaps a late comment but what do you suspect her fate will be? Will she stay in the US or go back to Mexico? Is it true that she does not have a good relationship with the Chapitos?

Stay in the US I think and the relationship with the Chapitos is tricky....There is def meant to be tension but she recently visited Culiacan with their supposed blessing. Good to hear your voice here and all best Charesa.
