As spring breakers pack their bikinis and sunglasses to hit the beach in Mexico, the US government is urging citizens to avoid cartel hotspots amid a spike in violence. Four Americans were kidnapped and two butchered Friday in the border town of Matamoros in the latest stark reminder that a bloody drug war rages behind the glamorous façade of the country's sun-drenched resorts. But despite the spiraling cartel violence, travel agents are reporting a post-pandemic boom with bookings trebling on pre-2020 numbers. US citizens headed for Cabo, Cancun and Tulum are warned to exercise 'increased caution' over crime and kidnapping,

Life is all about choices. Choosing to enter Mexico now is an extremely stupid choice, one with a good chance of resulting in your death. Do something safer instead....maybe bungee jumping with a rotten bungee cord.

Travel in Mexico is not the wisest thing one could do. Americans going down there are often Darwin Award winners.

Dear college students across the fruited plain. If you spring break in Mexico you are asking for trouble. Trouble that could cost you your lives. Ask yourselves is a week of fun worth that.

How and why any American would travel to Mexico these past few years is beyond me. Yeah I get it - wealthy people like Kennedy of Fox Business can travel to Cabo San Lucas and enjoy the sun and margaritas but really? There are very nice and very safe resorts in Florida, etc.

Mexico will always be a failed narco-state. Throughout its history it's been incapable of self-governance and self-control. Mexico's too poor and drug trafficking is the only boot strap they've got to pull themselves out of perpetual misery - and that benefits only a handful of unscrupulous few. I wouldn't risk my life or the lives of my wife and children going down there - and I'm Hispanic

In years past, I’ve gone to Puerto Vallarta, Playa Del Carmen, and Tulum and had a great time - but those days are gone. I wouldn’t go back to Mexico for love or money. The people of Mexico are incapable of governing themselves under the rule of law. It’s a shame, too. It’s a beautiful country, with abundant natural resources and hard-working citizens; they just can’t get it together.

Remember when Chuck Schumer cared about New York? Or at least pretended he did? This was before he became majority leader of the US Senate — a pretty big deal, though of precious little benefit to the folks back home. With New York City staggering under the $5-million-a-day cost of sheltering President Biden’s migrants, it seems Schumer might engage more energetically on border integrity. Not at all. And now Chuck-from-Brooklyn appears to care more about crime in Washington than he does about the mayhem in his hometown.

A top House Republican investigator is demanding that a Treasury Department official appear for a transcribed interview related to the department’s refusal to hand over suspicious activity reports on Hunter Biden. Rep. James Comer (R-KY), chairman of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, had set a hearing for this Friday for Treasury Department Assistant Secretary for Legislative Affairs Jonathan Davidson to testify, but the GOP investigator revealed that Davidson refused to appear, so Comer is now demanding that Davidson testify before his committee next Tuesday under penalty of perjury. “Treasury Department officials have repeatedly said that they are cooperating with the committee’s request but

President Joe Biden condemned House Republicans on Wednesday for allowing Fox News host Tucker Carlson to access and air previously unseen security footage of January 6 that showed police officers appearing to stand by passively as people poured into the U.S. Capitol. The rebuke from the president came in response to an internal memo from U.S. Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger which criticized “Tucker Carlson Tonight” for broadcasting some of the video and commentary he claimed was offensive and misleading. (Video) “More than 140 officers were injured on Jan 6,” Biden said in a tweet. “I’ve said before: How dare anyone diminish or deny

Of course, ABC gave no real attention to the pro-life cause, aside from a single sentence that ended the two-minute-and-46-second segment that summarized a statement from the office of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R).

Marine sniper Sgt. Tyler Vargas-Andrews was on a security detail in a Kabul tower, watching desperate Afghans trying to flee the brutal Taliban, when he was blindsided by an enormous wave of pressure. It was August 26, 2021, and an ISIS-K suicide bomber had detonated on the perimeter of Hamid Karzai International Airport during the chaotic evacuation sparked by the Biden administration's withdrawal of troops after 20 years in Afghanistan. Just moments before the attack, the California veteran spotted a terrorist matching the suspect's description and asked if he could 'engage', but he says his leaders refused.

The hearing, titled "The Biden Family Investigation: The Department of the Treasury," was supposed to be held on Friday at 9 a.m., but committee staff told the Washington Examiner it was delayed because the requested witness could not attend that day. “Treasury Department officials have repeatedly said that they are cooperating with the Committee’s request but all we’ve seen is obstruction," Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said in a statement released the day before.

A Virginia school district is under fire once again for its 'equality' programs - this time for sending a letter offering college preparation classes only to black and Hispanic students. Fairfax County Public Schools has since the beginning of this year been under investigation by the state Attorney General for withholding merit awards from students at Thomas Jefferson High School. TJs, as locals call it, is the United States' top-performing public school, and woke teachers there claimed they'd held back the awards to boost 'equity.' And now, another school in the district - Cooper Middle School in McLean, Virginia - sent a letter to parents which critics said was also discriminatory.

It’s been a day of the left and their fellow travelers throwing tantrums over Tucker Carlson’s coverage of the Jan. 6 video footage. I wrote earlier about Tucker’s coverage as well as Adam Kinzinger’s continued meltdown. There have been a lot of bad takes. But perhaps one of the worst came from documentary filmmaker Ken Burns, the guy known for his history documentaries. Now I must admit to having watched some of his work, including on the Civil War and the history of baseball, and enjoying it. If you liked his work and thought he sounded knowledgeable, you may want to adjust your opinion after this.

In 2016, Hillary Clinton tried to become the first former First Lady – and in fact, first woman overall – to be elected President of the United States. Clinton, herself a former U.S. Senator, lost that Presidential race to Donald Trump, but could another former First Lady mount her own historic campaign in 2024 and win? Over the course of the past two Presidential elections, essentially ever since her husband was finishing up his own eight years in the Oval Office, Michelle Obama has been on the shortlist of dream candidates for the Democratic party.

Since 2019, JayCee Cooper, a male weightlifter who wants to compete as a woman, has undertaken a legal challenge against USAPL that began as a complaint to the Minnesota Department of Human Rights. Late February, that challenge that had grown into a 2021 lawsuit turned into a loss for women competitors as District Court Judge Patrick Diamond ruled in favor of Cooper. “By denying Cooper the right to participate in the female category, the category consistent with her self-identification,

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy granted "Tucker Carlson Tonight" an exclusive first look to over 40,000 hours of security camera footage from the Capitol Building that were hidden from the public for over two years. On Monday, Carlson offered the first glimpses of footage involving key figures from that day.

Two of the four Americans kidnapped by armed gunmen in a Mexico border city on Friday were found dead and two were found alive, Tamaulipas Gov. Américo Villarreal Anaya said in a phone call with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador that was played at a news conference Tuesday. The governor said "ambulances and security personnel" were now attending to and giving medical support to the survivors. The four Americans were located at what appears to be a medical clinic in Matamoros, a US official familiar with the ongoing investigation told CNN. One of the two survivors is severely injured, the official said.
