An oil spill late last week could have released up to 1.1 million gallons of crude oil off the southeast shore of New Orleans, near Plaquemines Parish, the U.S. Coast Guard said. The Coast Guard first reported the oil spill Friday after overflight teams saw oil moving away from the Louisiana shore. On Monday, the Coast Guard said in a press release that the spill was near the Main Pass Oil Gathering’s (MPOG) company pipeline system, which stretches 67 miles. While it was not immediately clear when or where the leak took place, the Coast Guard said MPOG closed the...

Hunter Biden once admonished a Mexican business magnate for ignoring him after he set up multiple meetings with Joe Biden during his vice presidency. Hunter Biden emailed Miguel Aleman Magnani, grandson of a former Mexican president and former CEO of Interjet, in February 2016 expressing his displeasure at Magnani for ignoring him. The pair dined together in Mexico shortly thereafter and Hunter Biden berated Magnani, apparently causing the Mexican businessman to leave the restaurant through the bathroom, The Washington Post reported.

A plastic replica of a 40,000-year-old, size eight foot has shattered previous theories of the identity of the first humans to walk in the Americas. Scientists made the foot from tracks left on the shore of an ancient volcanic lake in central Mexico. The traditional view is that the first settlers walked across the Bering Strait, from Russia to Alaska, at the end of the last ice age around 11,500 to 11,000 years ago. But the discovery of footprints in the Valsequillo Basin by a British-led team provides new evidence that humans settled in the Americas as early as 40,000...

NATIONAL NACHOS DAY On November 6th, National Nachos Day recognizes the snack favored at sporting events across the country. In their purest form, nachos are tortilla chips covered in nacho cheese, queso or other melted cheese and served with salsa. #NationalNachosDay Where Nachos Began First created sometime around 1943, the popular and loved nachos are of Mexican origin. History tells us that Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya created the original nachos in 1943. According to his son, Nacho was the maître d' at the El Moderno Restaurant in Piedras Negras. One evening after the kitchen staff had left, a group of U.S....

Amother and her family are being slammed on social media after video captures them wiping out an entire bowl filled with Halloween candy in front of a country musician’s Texas home. Cody Tate, a musician from the well known country band Whiskey Myers, posted security footage to his Instagram showing the family ravaging a giant basket full of treats on Tuesday. The video starts off by showing three adults, followed by four to five kids, running up to the house and clearing a huge black-colored basket loaded with candy one-by-one. One woman in a black hoodie appears to even smile...

The Darien Gap route is viable for Chinese immigrants because they can fly into Ecuador without a visa. From Quito, they join Latin Americans to travel through the once-impenetrable Darién and across several Central American countries before reaching the U.S. border. The journey is well-known enough it has its own name in Chinese: walk the line, or 'zouxian.' Short video platforms and messaging apps have popularized the route. They provide on-the-ground video clips and step-by-step guides from China to the U.S., including tips on what to pack, where to find guides, how to survive the jungle, which hotels to stay...

(Just a 3 minute video. I think you'll get the point.)

If you have eyes are you able to see ? Other countries especially the United States need to step up. It's your neighbor. All the countries around could help Mexico and help get your civilians tourists out as soon as possible ! THIS IS MAJOR ! Get our people out ASAP !

This is not a fight we can escape - it's coming for us. As the savagery of the HAMAS death squads becomes ever more inescapable, the conscious world understands it is at a crossroads. Rarely the first mover, Americans feel entitled to wait and see how the rest of the world reacts. This approach has proponents on the left and the right, none of which are particularly interesting. This is a war for the very existence of the West. That’s easy enough to prove. Hamas orders included wanton murder of civilians, torture of family members in front of each other,...

A presidential candidate recently visited Los Angeles, California, and made some big promises. No, I’m not referring to Biden or Trump, or any other American candidate, but to Claudia Sheinbaum of the MORENA party. Who? She’s a Mexican presidential candidate and is currently ahead in the polls. Mexican politicians have been meddling in U.S. politics, particularly in immigration policy, for years. Almost nobody in our government, of either major party, seems to care.

The ATF under Director Steve Dettelbach has been at the forefront of assaulting the Second Amendment. Even after President Biden pushed through the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA) with the cooperation of submissive Senate Republicans, he has used the administrative powers of the ATF to further infringe on our rights. Modeling their regulatory attacks on Trump’s bump stock ban, Biden and Dettelbach have unilaterally reclassified unfinished frames/receivers as firearms, reclassified pistol braces as NFA items, reclassified forced reset triggers, and are now changing who must register as a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL). The ATF has also been harassing ordinary FFLs...

Mexico City (AFP) – When a dozen Latin American presidents and foreign ministers meet on Sunday in Mexico, they'll face a huge task: finding a solution to migration flows roiling two continents as people make their way to the United States. This year alone, 1.7 million migrants arrived at the Mexican-US border. Immigration is becoming a huge political issue in both nations, which each have presidential elections next year. September alone saw 60,000 migrants arrive in Mexico from Venezuela, along with 35,000 Guatemalans and 27,000 Hondurans, according to the Mexican government. "It is very difficult to be able to manage...

I hate to sound like it seems that there is nothing that can be done about the current state of the United States of America. I know that on my Monday, Wednesday, and Friday live show on Duke Over America, which you could sign up to watch right here at 10:00 a.m. EDT on those days, or on my radio show on WAAM 1600 A.M. & 92.7 F.M. in Ann Arbor Michigan, it seems I'm trending heavily in that direction.However, I do feel I have one saving grace, and that is you laugh when you can because otherwise anger and...

Mexico’s notorious Sinaloa cartel, once ruled by now-jailed drug kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, has barred the production of fentanyl — under penalty of death. The about-face by the narco crew — the main trafficker of the deadly synthetic opioid flooding the US — comes as El Chapo’s kids bow to a mounting law enforcement crackdown on the drug trade, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday. The order came from the “Chapitos” — the name for Guzman’s sons, who took over the operation. “In Sinaloa, the sale, manufacture, transport or any kind of business involving the substance known as fentanyl,...

Mexico's President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has announced that he will send a diplomatic note to the U.S. regarding Texas's border cargo inspections that are causing significant delays to U.S.-bound traffic.Mr. Obrador said that 19,000 trucks carrying goods worth $1.9 billion have been impacted by the increased security.He criticized Texas Governor Greg Abbott's decision, denouncing it as both irresponsible and "politically motivated," accusing Mr. Abbott of exploiting the illegal immigration crisis for political gain.The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) initiated "enhanced commercial vehicle safety inspections" on Sept. 19 in the vicinity of El Paso and Del Rio to combat...

"This happened just minutes ago. More breaking footage from Lukeville, Arizona. With the attacks we just saw in Israel what I’m seeing on the border is even more concerning. Please share and help wake up America to this national security threat being brought in by Joe Biden and the Democrats!"

Among them stands out the story of a couple, it is Shani Louk, an influencer of German-Israeli origin and a Mexican man known on social networks as Orion ChirrisWow. After the attack Shani Louk and Orion ChirrisWow were kidnapped, the 30-year-old woman was killed, as confirmed by the family of the young woman who was able to identify her in a video released by the extremists; while the Mexican is still missing. The electronic music festival, Tribe of Nova, was held Saturday night in a forested area near Re'im, near the Gaza Strip. Haaretz, a media of Israeli origin, which...

MEXICO CITY, Oct 6 (Reuters) - The U.S. government does not want to build new sections of wall on its border with Mexico, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said on Friday, expressing doubt that the planned construction would be carried out. "It's pure publicity," Lopez Obrador said in a regular morning press conference, after the Biden administration announced it would build additional sections of border wall, carrying forward a signature policy of the Trump administration. A high-ranking delegation of U.S. officials met Thursday with their Mexican counterparts, among them U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken. "They don't want to...

President Joe Biden’s deputies are offering multiple concessions to Mexican President Andres Manuel López Obrador in the hope that he will conceal the huge and unpopular flow of illegal migrants during the 2024 campaign season. On Thursday, three of Biden’s cabinet secretaries met with Obrador. He has the power to embarrass Biden during the 2024 campaign with massive, televised eruptions of migrants — such as the September 2021 rush of 15,000 Haitians at Del Rio, Texas. He has that power because Biden’s deputies have abandoned their duty to enforce the border law and have, instead, triggered a flood of global...

In the early dawn's orange glow, a Texas Rangers commander briefs a heavily armed invasion force. They're preparing to seize a remote, 170-acre Mexican cartel-controlled island in the middle of the Rio Grande River overlooked by sniper nests and potentially booby-trapped. Some of the dozens of assembled men shift from one foot to another or reposition their M-4 rifles as they listen to their commanders' instructions. 'Keep a close eye on those structures up there that have height advantage on us,' he warns. 'In case we do get engaged and someone is shot' medical evacuation plans are in place and...
