An Ambassador to Forget?

Did the same guy who brought us the Poinsettia, bring us the US Mexican War? ...And 100 years of poor relations? Joel Roberts Poinsett was a brilliant mind, but it was a mind trapped in its time. And his diplomatic polish as was less than stellar. In this video I explore the life and impact of Joel Roberts Poinsett, a man I first learned of in The Mexican Reader.

    I’ve lived in Valle Real for almost 7 years. That house is typical, almost cookie cutter. To be honest, you don’t;t get much for your money nowadays. Very very few homes, even in places like Valle Real have anything more than a postage stamp sized lot. You can expect tp pay between $500k and $1m USD just for the piece of dirt before you build a house, and that’s pretty average for that area.

    I came here because 2 motorcyclist snatched my partner’s phone as we were trying to order Uber near the Cathedral church. We were terrified and didn’t know how to act at the moment. We had 20 minutes to go to the hotel and mark the phone as lost. I do believe that this was coordinated and they had to have information yesterday to get the phone. Whether it’s Uber or aids near by, why the city of Guadalajara doesn’t trap them? Why there can’t be an operation to catch these thieves?

    The fireworks “burning man” is called a Castillo. Very traditional during celebrations. I remember them when I was a kid. They even do it for weddings. Neighborhood & town & city & state festivals are also traditional so you’d have several over the year. Sadly, I think there are fewer now. I think people more busy working. The daily parade of locos reminds me of New Orleans were they have similar in neighborhoods for days and days before carnavale.

    Poinsett was an egregious interventionist - no matter what era no sovereign country in the history of man wants a foreign“ special agent” joining military ranks and crafting legislation as Poinsett did in Argentina and Chile before heading to Mexico and doing the same thing. Mexico viewed Poinsett with suspicion because there had already been another interventionist clown 🤡 10 years prior named William Shaler recruiting Louisiana what are called American “ filibusters” to join insurgents named Gutierrez and Magee to take down an established foreign sovereign government and again …wanting Texas. That’s why the viceroyalty of new Spain banned any US citizens from settling in Texas

But it seems like the prices are going up on New Homes. The interest rates are high now to. Once you go out there to see the home it is like the next day the price goes up. No Thanks!!

      ive driven extensively in Mexico. ive driven from McAllen Texas to San Miguel d A a number of times. “Safe” is a relative term. I have lived for years in New Orleans. in terms of crime, I honestly feel as safe in Mexico as New Orleans. despite recent events, I still plan to drive through Tamaulipus which is absolutely beautiful from Victoria south. the safety of actually operating a motor vehicle is a different matter. driving on the toll roads is generally better for safety because the roads are often four lanes and require less passing…which works VERY differently in Mexico. but the toll roads are kind of boring in terms of scenery. finally, although I have had no encounters with corrupt cops, I do believe this is something one should think through before driving.
