Coyote Waits.......for no one


 Did you hear President Trump explain to Slow Joe that many if not most of the unaccompanied children in federal custody were brought by coyotes and cartels and not their irresponsible parents. Many bad actors with records bring a child who is not their own when they sneak in because if they were caught they would get a catch and release ticket. Dump the kid off to human traffickers and go on their merry criminal way.

Now you have a bunch of moron liberals (redundant) saying how would a coyote carry a kid over the border. Anyone with half a brain knows that coyote is the nickname for the smugglers and human traffickers who capitalize on human misery and help illegals invade our country. What a bunch of ignorant assholes. That's why they are liberal democrats and social justice warriors.

The coyote is an important figure in Native American religious lore especially the tribes of the South West like the Navajo and the Apache. Coyote is the trickster. The boogie man. There are innumerable stories of how the Coyote tricks people and steals from them in one way or another. So it is a very ironic appellation to call smugglers Coyotes. Irony is lost on the woke.

As an aside I highly recommend the novel by Tony Hillerman called "Coyote Waits":

It is one in the series of his Lieutenant Leaphorn and Sergeant Jim Chee mystery novels set on the Navajo reservation. In fact I think it might be the best in the series.  You learn a lot about the culture and practices of the Navajo along with a solid crime story. Hillerman is one of the top crime writers that you should have on your kindle. Along with Robert B Parker, John D MacDonald, Elmore Leonard, George Pelecanos, Dennis Lehane and Loren D Estleman. Also Joe Lansdale and Michael Connolly. You can while away these quarantine hours with any of their novels and it will be time well spent.

I think I've read all the Leaphorn/Chee mysteries although it's been a few years since the last one and I'd hate to think I missed one. It's been long enough now I may just start reading them again.

I always go back and reread my favorites. I started rereading "Coyote Waits" because of this post.

Troop should remember one clan of the Apache is called Coyotero because they were so... foxy?

I think the Lefties were being purposely obtuse, but you never know.

Ed, I would argue that they are actually profoundly ignorant. I am not sure there is a way to test either hypothesis.

It was Hillerman who introduced me to the term years ago, in the 90's was my guess before confirming the pub. date as July 1990.

Puposely obtuse, profoundly ignorant, and willfully blind.

... a deluded heart misleads him;
he cannot save himself, or say,
“Is not this thing in my right hand a lie?”
