i live in shasta county and ive read local news reports about 2 IEDs found here in the last 6 months. one under an 1-5 interstate over pass.

i have went back looking for these reports but couldnt find them.

i think they wont let it hit the news if they find more around here.

that may or not be agood thing, but the point remains that these things are turning up.

Those who wanted to destroy this country are not releasing their claws from it that easily.

Anyone caught doing that needs to be executed on the spot.

No questions asked.

MEXICO’S FAILURE TO SRIP THE CARTELS IS AN ACT OF WAR ON US.

Mayor’s lives are a dime a dozen in Mexico. That bitch is 1 step above the ladder to the cartels.
Maybe Mexico should apply for the 52nd state?-)

A couple people including Don Jr. are floating the idea of getting Congress to issue a Letter of Marque against the cartels.

There is a reason Rome didn’t make everyone in their empire Roman citizens. But yeah, if you’re not cozy with the cartels, your career as a Mexican politician is short-lived.

They're stirring the pot...sooner or later it's going boil over and someone is going to get stomped into the ground. The cost of narcotics for the dumocrats is going to double. :)

Not unable. Unwilling. Everyone in the Mexican government is either on the cartel’s payroll or dead.
