Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller shared some tough news on Tuesday. A U.S. citizen, who was a rancher working near the border, lost his life to an explosive device. This tragic event happened a few weeks ago in Tamaulipas, Mexico, a region already flagged by the U.S. State Department as a no-go zone due to violence.
In his statement, Miller painted a grim picture of the increasing dangers from cartel activities along the southern border. He emphasized the urgent need for Texas farmers, ranchers, and agricultural workers to be extremely cautious if they find themselves near or across the border. The Lower Rio Grande Valley, a vital area for Texas agriculture, is at risk, and ensuring the safety of the community is a top priority.
Miller advised avoiding dirt roads and remote areas, steering clear of unknown objects that might be explosive, and limiting travel to daylight hours. Sticking to main roads and avoiding cartel-controlled regions were additional safety tips he provided. He stressed that the Texas agriculture community is essential, and protecting it is crucial.
The proximity of Tamaulipas to Texas makes it a hotspot for violence. The Gulf Cartel, one of Mexico’s oldest, is embroiled in a constant battle with rival factions and law enforcement over the control of lucrative smuggling routes into the U.S. Meanwhile, the Northeast Cartel is fighting to hold onto Nuevo Laredo, a key trade hub between the U.S. and Mexico.
The use of improvised explosive devices isn’t the only tactic cartels have adopted. Armed drones are increasingly part of their arsenal, giving them an edge in their ongoing turf wars. Tamaulipas has also seen the deployment of the Mexican National Guard, a move to clamp down on illegal immigration and prevent tariffs threatened by President Trump.
Cartel violence doesn’t just stay south of the border; it poses a threat to U.S. interests and citizens. The incident near Brownsville is a stark reminder of the challenges faced by those living and working in border regions. It’s a call to action for heightened security measures to protect individuals and the agricultural sector.
Texas ranchers and farmers play a pivotal role in the state’s economy, and their safety cannot be compromised. As cartel activities escalate, there’s a pressing need to implement effective strategies to safeguard these communities. Ensuring the security of Texas’s agricultural backbone is not just a local issue but one of national interest.
The ongoing cartel violence highlights a significant concern for border security. The U.S. must address these threats with urgency and resolve. Protecting American citizens and interests from the dangers posed by cartels is a responsibility that cannot be taken lightly.
By enhancing border security and taking proactive measures, we can help mitigate the risks posed by cartel violence. It’s critical to support policies that strengthen our defenses and ensure the safety of our border communities. The tragic loss of life serves as a powerful reminder of the stakes involved.
Sid Miller’s statement serves as a wake-up call about the realities facing those near the border. The importance of vigilance and caution cannot be overstated. As the cartels continue their violent campaigns, the need for comprehensive security measures becomes even more apparent.
Increased cooperation between the U.S. and Mexico might be essential in addressing these border challenges. Both nations have a vested interest in curbing cartel influence and ensuring safety. Collaborative efforts could lead to more effective strategies in combating cartel violence.
The role of law enforcement in maintaining border security is critical. Supporting their efforts with resources and policy backing can make a difference. Strengthening the presence of law enforcement can help deter cartel activities and protect communities.
Public awareness and education about the dangers of cartel violence are vital. By keeping informed, communities can better prepare and protect themselves from potential threats. Sharing information and safety tips can enhance community resilience.
As we navigate these challenges, it’s paramount to uphold the values and principles that define Texas and the nation. The fight against cartel violence is a fight for safety, security, and the preservation of our way of life. With determination and resolve, we can confront these threats head-on.
The loss of the Texas rancher is a sobering reminder of the perils that lurk near the border. It’s essential to honor their memory by taking decisive action to prevent future tragedies. Through vigilance, cooperation, and strong policies, we can strive to create a safer environment for all.

I made this comment recently regarding the enormous and lucrative illicit drug trafficking cartels.
A Container Ship Company operating out of the Marshall Islands, “Registered through a limited liability company in the Marshall Islands, the Ping May flies the Liberian flag;” which Ditch Mitch that sneaky Rino is involved in or in the least has gotten substantial campaign monies from his father-in-law the owner! So could some of those monies even be from illicit drug sales too; International Drug Trafficking!
Regarding this Ping May I quote this which was in the news over ten years ago; “Before the Ping May, a rusty cargo vessel, could disembark from the port of Santa Marta en route to the Netherlands in late August, Colombian inspectors boarded the boat and made a discovery. Hidden in the ship’s chain locker, amidst its load of coal bound for Europe, were approximately 40 kilograms, or about ninety pounds, of cocaine. A Colombian Coast Guard official told The Nation that there is an ongoing investigation.”

But I know this is only scratching the surface of the “Unbelievable Corruption” that exists within the Congress of many high ranking members, and to me it all fits with “End Times” and “America’s Great Decline” into secular, materialistic and pagan debauchery over the last several decades! I used to say a few decades ago how I could see the big shot politicians with “AG Task Force Teams” taking down the “Old Mafia” and crushing the organization; only so they would become the “New Mob,” a “Government Commie Nazi Organized Crime Syndicate” and it happened, this is what we see now in this Country in many areas!
I at least can ascertain that “the crime and criminality is so deep and extensive” that the “Old Time Mob” in comparison is like kid stuff!
My point in all of this is when it comes to “Big Easy Money” changing hands, “all kinds of people sellout in a heartbeat,” so why are the people running our government any different! And so many “innocent people do and will die” being in the “wrong place at the wrong time” or those that try stopping this global drug trafficking.
This is great is great news.
Intelligence officials engaging in misconduct are being forced out as Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard ramps up efforts to reform the agencies under her watch. She has ordered the termination of more than 100 employees for participating in explicit chats during work hours and is also responding to reports of CIA agents threatening to compromise national security.
Gabbard, speaking on Fox News, reacted to reports that some intelligence officials have expressed willingness to sell classified information out of frustration with the Trump administration’s policies. She criticized these individuals for attempting to manipulate public perception through the media, particularly CNN, which she called the CIA’s “propaganda arm.”
She argued that such behavior reveals these individuals’ true intentions, saying they care more about themselves than national security. “They are exposing themselves,” she said, warning that there is no place in the intelligence community for those willing to put the country at risk for personal grievances.
Alongside this crackdown, Gabbard has issued a directive to intelligence agencies demanding the removal of employees involved in explicit chats on government communication channels. The chats, hosted on a secure system operated by the National Security Agency, were conducted in groups labeled “LBTQA” and “IC_Pride_TWG.” Gabbard called the activity a serious violation of workplace standards, confirming that the groups were shut down after Trump’s executive order eliminating DEI programs.
Deputy Chief of Staff Alexa Henning confirmed that all employees involved in the chats will have their security clearances revoked and be fired.
