The criminals know how to settle election outcomes: They kill the candidates they don’t like.
If it’s Thursday morning, then it’s another post about violence in Mexico. Or as a Mexican friend said: “Dios mio todos los dias” or “My God, every day.” Yes, killing is happening too much south of the border, whether you are a journalist or a couple of candidates running for office. This is the story:
Two mayoral hopefuls in the Mexican city of Maravatío have been gunned down within hours of each other, as experts warn the June 2 national elections could be the country’s most violent on record.
The widening control of drug cartels in Mexico has been described as a threat. During the last nationwide election in 2021, about three dozen candidates were killed.
The campaigns haven’t even started yet. They formally begin on Friday.
On Tuesday, this farming town, where most of the men wear boots and big belt buckles, was in a state of wary shock following the previous day’s killings. Dozens of state police were visible around city hall.
No campaigning yet, but the killers couldn’t care less about that. Who knew that criminals did not obey or respect election campaign laws? Remember that the next time that someone questions your Second Amendment right.
Maravatío is one of those Mexican towns that most tourists don’t see. They are hidden in the countryside, and people have lived there for centuries. The people are generally farmers and are very skeptical of the federal government.

The same thing that the DhimmiMarxi cartel is trying to do in the USA.
I’m sure the Biden regime is showing a lot of interest in that aspect of Mexican politics.
Mexico is lawless because any law enforcing Sheriff or Police Chief are murdered. If their replacement enforces the law they are also killed. Etc., Etc. Eventually you end up with law enforcement working with the cartels. The same thing will happen here, first in the southwest, then elsewhere.
Plomo or plato.
As am I. And DJT had best take notice.
Give it a little more time and little more help from RINO’s like Romney and this feature of Mexican politics will be adopted by the Democrats.
“They are hidden in the countryside, and people have lived there for centuries. The people are generally farmers and are very skeptical of the federal government.”
Just like the South in 1861. (Very skeptical...an enormous understatement!)
Paging Nayib Bukele to the red courtesy phone...
Mexico is a narco-state as the result of how lucrative the illegal drug trade is. And that illegal industry would not be so profitable if not for the ready and easy access to US markets. And this accessibility would not exist if it were not for the refusal of the uniparty to secure the border. To paraphrase Robert Frost: “Secure borders make good neighbors.”
