    The heroin goes to Russia to make their lives even more pathetic as Putin and the other oligarchs eat caviar and use the young girls as sex slaves.

    The government puts it into school lunch products to help mesmerize children, conditioning them to be pawns of the communist/democrat party. Just look into Adam Shiff's eyes and you know I'm right !!!!!

    Someone lied to you, you believed them. The troops are guarding the growers so they don't get killed.

    I think it's crazy. Yet Trump complains about Mexico? It's almost as if our nation's are run like a mafia.

    That field should be torched, not guarded.
