All of this going on just to the south of our border but our fearless leader cares more about what's going on in Egypt.

“The marines returned fire, killing four suspected gunmen, the navy said.”

Apparently the Mexican marines are being used in the fight instead of the Mexican army. I wonder why. Maybe the Mexican army has become too corrupt and infiltrated. We should not be giving any military aid to Mexico. We don’t know who is fighting who.

This is a crying shame. Guadalajara is a beautiful city and used to be a very civilized place.
