His Suit Ain’t Empty — It’s Full of Crap

Obama blames Mexico’s gun violence on… you guessed it… on the U.S.

“Most of the guns used to commit violence here in Mexico come from the United States,” President Obama said during a speech at Mexico’s Anthropology Museum. “I think many of you know that in America, our Constitution guarantees our individual right to [...]

Oh, Mexico.

Elections have consequences — even — especially Mexican ones. Here’s a great story from The New York Times on Mexico’s shifting drug war policy after their last Presidential elections in December.

Something Rotten in the State of Mexico

This is Jon Hammar, former U.S. Marine, in a Matamoros, Mexico prison cell awaiting trial on a gun charge. It’s been around the news here and there for awhile, but has been swallowed up by the Sandy Hook tragedy. Hammar has been trying to get out of prison until his trial — to no [...]

Mexican Radio

Being in high tech is supposed to be a high-paying “safe” job right? Not when your expertise is in high demand by an extensive and well-organized criminal network in a country with a relatively loose grip when it comes to individual security (the extensive loss of which often leads to loss of national security).

Furiouser and Furiouser

The only scandal in American history worse than Fast and Furious is LBJ’s Gulf of Tonkin BS that got us knee deep in Vietnam and triggered War Powers debates for the next 50 years. This is Grant’s “Spoilsmen”, Teapot Dome, Watergate, Iran-Contra, and Lewinsky times 1,000 to the nth power. Anyone who thought Martin [...]

Ay caramba! Mexican medics are drawing catcalls after they dropped a heart being rushed to a hospital for a transplant.

Mexico City police say they used a helicopter to deliver the heart in “a rapid, precision maneuver.” But after exiting the chopper, a medic stumbled and the plastic-wrapped heart tumbled out of a cooler onto [...]

So Where Were Ya On This One Soccer Lovers?

From the LA TIMES.

The author of the article says that this was “uniquely American”, yeah I beg to differ. This was Mexicans supporting their team pure and simple. They may live here, they may even be here legally but they are still Mexicans in heart and soul and their actions showed it. Pretty sad [...]

Mexican Pirates Kill American

It sounds like someone is at war with us. How long before our betters get the message? This was on Falcon Lake which adjoins Zapata County, TX and Mexico

El Aguila Muerto

The above cartoon, by Daryl Cagle drawing for MSNBC.com, is causing a bit of a stir. Mexicans it seems don’t like their flag besmirched in parody. Tough ka-ka. From AOL News:

Hey! Estupido!

The Arizona Diamondbacks played at the New York Mets’ Citi Field last night.  In addition to a couple dozen people protesting Arizona’s immigration enforcement law, leaflets were handed out urging Major League Baseball to move next year’s All-Star Game out of Phoenix.

New York being what it is, I wouldn’t be surprised if the protesters [...]

Nuevo Mexico?

Northern Mexico — a new Darfur? Sobering thoughts from Zenpundit at ChicagoBoyz.

We’re Gonna Party Like It’s 1839

Political correctness has always prevented what it would take to correct our issues with Mexico. First would be invasion occupation and States 51-60; the second — more of containment would be the Ranger option. Texas Governor Rick Perry has opted for the second. Stop coming into our state!

“It is an expansive [...]
