A Reader Updates Activity Along The Southern Border -- September 10, 2020

Links sent to me by a reader about the "southern wall":

1. Do you remember Red Fawn?

She was the chick with the handgun "accidentally" discharged 3 times while resisting arrest

Anyway, she's now been released to a halfway house = "reentry"

And we're still fighting the pipeline.  

So, those of us who like oil and gas to provide heat, electricity and transportation are effectively serving a longer sentence than she.

 

2. And she's still a better impromptu speaker than Joe Biden:

3. Fisher owns Stinger.

And, here's why Coolidge and Stinger piqued my curiosity:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/oodham-members-block-border-wall-assembly-site-to-protest-desecration-of-tribal-lands/ar-BB18pfCm.

 

Oh - the typical bad reporting/ editing.  Uses "comprise" when he means "compose".  The headline says the site was blocked... at the end of the article, you learn they just blocked one entrance and Fisher's mgr. said they just came in through other access points.  (;>)

Go, Tommy, Go!

One more time - why are these sacred burial sites never near a casino?  Not that I believe for a minute that tribes that weren't iron workers could dig a grave in western ND or this Arizona country where Tommy's blasting thru rock.

4. So, I started prowling down the O'odham rabbit hole.  (you know the drill - ha!)

There was an article in the Az Central newspaper from May of 2018.  It tells a one-sided story of 2 adult brothers, each deported to Nogales in separate incidents.  Supposedly neither brother speaks English or Spanish - only their native O'odham.  Thus, they couldn't be interviewed for the story (;>)

There's a tribal "gate" where they were accustomed to crossing between countries.  In recent years, Border Patrol has started showing a presence there and denied crossing to people without ID.  Tales of woe ensue.  Poor, poor, undocumented yada yada.

Anyway - this photo was in the article.  I got a good laugh.  When the libs complain about how little wall is new - they would have been counting this fence as existing wall.  I've got a hundred bucks that says the shoe rack in Tommy's closet is sturdier than this fence.  (;>)

Ah, I lied a little.  Az Central isn't actually the newspaper.  It's the digital version of a Phoenix newspaper called the Arizona Republic - published by Gannett.

5. Video of a border blast, link here. 

Nobody dug a grave on Monument Hill - regardless of what the previous Chairman said.

This is old video, they've got a new Chairman, but that blast is a work of art.
