because they're worried about our Reaper drones getting ready to set them on fire. So it could be just the operation is completely skedaddling to try to hide their labs, and it's going to take a couple months before they can crank up. Maybe just that. Could be that there's enough pressure on China finally that fewer precursors are making it to Mexico to be turned into fentanyl. Maybe. I think that…

weird. But as Laura Loomer points out, he's claimed that he has no money, so he did a signed declaration in court that he's poor, but yet he's living like a person who does have money. So the question would be, where's the money coming from, or did you lie when he said he didn't have any? Maybe he just sells one painting a week. It's all he needs to support his lifestyle. Don't know. But yeah, Hunter's in South Africa.

they're still focused on making sure there's clean air and land and basically clean air, land, and water while growing the economy. Now assuming this is all true and assuming that the regulations they got rid of were things that really were slowing down our energy business, I'd expect it would take at least three years for the reduction in all these regulations to really show up in the economy.
