Mexico's navy says six people are dead after a group of suspected criminals sparked a skirmish by opening fire on a Marine helicopter near the U.S. border. The navy says the incident happened on Sunday in a rural area south of Nuevo Laredo, which is across the border from Laredo, Texas.

Uh huh.
“”You mean we’re actually defending the border now?””
There are far too many freepers jumping to conclusions simply for the enjoyment of criticizing....You caught yourself but for goodness sake save yourself and us some time by reading the articles first. I know we’ve all become weary of the way things are going in this country but we need to put some effort into becoming less jaded.
If MX gov’t leaders hadn’t already been paid off or threatened or both, they would declare war on the cartels.

Sarcasm & apathy have become a way of life for some conservatives—I have my days I know.
FReegards!

“”I have my days I know””
Everyone does and I dislike it so I TRY hard not to be TOO cynical.... Will any of us ever be sane after this administration? Even that is cynical. I get after my husband all the time for being so negative - there really are some positive things going on in life ‘tho most of the time I’d be hard pressed to name them. Let’s try to count our blessings at the end of each day.
Rare, a news story with a happy ending.
