The left is rising in Sudamerica. First Chile elects a leftist, and now Colombia is well on its way to electing one. Congressional elections were yesterday. Isa volunteered at the Colombian consulate in Vancouver where over a thousand Colombians voted. I had no idea there were even a thousand Colombians here.

I encourage the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to go jump in a lake. This was a great raid. I hope many more similar raids will follow. These scumbags blow up young girls taking a piss in mall washrooms. I was thrilled to see a few of them blown up in return.

Why? Will they have to go back to work protecting smugglers and traffickers from border patrol?

This makes no sense to me. Allow cartels to destroy tens of thousands of children with crack cocaine because you’re afraid to endanger a few kids unfortunate enough to be near those scumbags.

Serious stuff. “Spanish prosecutors want to jail the superstar for eight years and fine her €23.8m if she is found guilty.” I don’t care at all. If she did it, let her go to jail.

He either didn’t learn his lesson or didn’t care after the first prosecution, which played a significant role in the decision to sentence him to jail.

I agree with this. She can afford to buy her way out of it. She’s obviously bored and in need of some drama.
