Mexico Explodes: It's Now Open War Between
Cartels, Mexican Military
Posted By: Dreadnought, 2/23/2026 2:44:48 AM
On Sunday, we reported on the developing mess in Mexico: The resort town of Puerto Vallarta locked down, travel warnings, tourists "advised" to stay within the resorts, to shelter in place. There were rumors that the fighting was kicked off by the Mexican military's killing a notorious cartel goblin, Ruben "Nemesio" Oseguera Cervantes, known as "El Mencho," leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). That killing has now been confirmed. Now, over Sunday night, Mexico is plunged into warfare between the Mexican government and the cartels; the military is again involved, and there are indications that the cartels may have the government outgunned. That's not good.

Rabid leftist Hollywood actor Robert De Niro choked back tears on an MS NOW podcast claiming that President Donald Trump is “destroying America” — just minutes after taking jabs at the Commander-in-Chief’s masculinity.
The foaming-at-the-mouth, anti-Trump, leftist actor appeared Monday on an MS NOW podcast hosted by liberal commentator Nicolle Wallace and railed about Trump, seemingly the only topic he is able to talk about any more.
He blasted Trump calling. him, “sadistic” and “cruel,” mocked Trump as “triggered” by “real men” with “displays of actual strength.”
The actor went on to explain, “He knows he’s never experienced or displayed anything like that in his life
As President Donald Trump considers whether and how to conduct military strikes against Iran ahead of another round of talks in Geneva, Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine has advised the president and senior officials that such action could carry significant risks, including the possibility of a prolonged conflict, according to Axios.
Axios reported that Gen. Caine has advised Trump and top members of his national security team that a military campaign against Iran could carry serious consequences, including the possibility of the United States becoming entangled in a prolonged conflict. The account was based on conversations with five sources
Health, fitness and masculinity: Three things Democrats find concerning.
More than a century ago, Republican President Teddy Roosevelt encouraged Americans to lead “the strenuous life,” and TR certainly lived his credo to the max — riding, roping, ranching, boxing and leading his troops up San Juan Hill.
Now Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and other members of President Donald Trump’s administration have taken up Teddy’s challenge.
Last week Kennedy teamed with Kid Rock to demonstrate the sauna-and-cold-plunge approach to health in a video that’s racked up close to 14 million views on X. Their message: “Get active and eat real food.”
Hegseth regularly works out

The Boston Globe ran a poll last December which found that a full third of respondents were thinking about leaving the state because of the high cost of living.
The Globe/Suffolk survey found that about one-third of Massachusetts voters have seriously considered leaving the state in the past year because of affordability pressures, even as a majority still believe the state is generally moving in the right direction. Inflation, health care costs, housing, taxes, and soaring utility bills topped the list of financial stressors.
Boston.com asked their readers how they felt and and even higher percentage said they were looking to move. Here's one response they received:

By now, we all know that most AI models are, by happenstance or more likely design, purveyors of propaganda. A lot of people rely on AI in the way they have relied on Wikipedia—as a quick and dirty way to access information and get up to speed.
More than that, AI is getting baked into everything, which is why so many data centers are being built, and why Big Tech is suddenly less worried about climate change than expanding the power grid as quickly as possible. News is being served to you by AI, and sometimes it is even written by it. It is everywhere, and it's pretty clear
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani gave a speech about how the Quran allegedly describes Muslim support for immigrants. In his often-repeated speech, he tells the story of Mohammad’s flight from Mecca to Medina in 622 AD, known as the hijrah. The implication is that Muslims were themselves refugees, so Islam is supportive of immigrants.
As I listened to the speech, I suspected that something of importance was being left out. Robert Spencer, author and director of Jihad Watch and an editor at PJ Media, explains what was omitted. “The hijrah is not an example of the welcoming
A couple of years ago, it looked like the leftist effort to destroy Donald Trump was working. He was debanked by JPMorgan Chase, state and federal lawsuits were piling up like pancakes, and former Attorney General Merrick Garland’s attack dog, former Special Counsel Jack Smith, brought two major cases against the then-private citizen: one concerned election interference, the other classified documents.
But a funny thing happened on the way to losing the Oval Office, the House, and the Senate. Many of the cases — like Fulton County, Georgia district attorney Fani Willis' indictment for alleged election interference — fell apart, and not only did the Left fail to bring down Trump,
FBI Director Kash Patel responded to criticism after video footage surfaced of him celebrating with the Team USA Men’s Hockey team after their win against Canada.
In a post on X, Patel expressed that he “was extremely humbled” when Team USA’s Men’s Hockey team invited him “into the locker room” to celebrate their Gold Medal win.
“For the very concerned media – yes, I love America and was extremely humbled when my friends, the newly minted Gold Medal winners on Team USA, invited me into the locker room to celebrate this historic moment with the boys,” Patel wrote. “Greatest country on earth and greatest sport on earth.”
While much of the transgender debate has surrounded restricting so-called gender affirming care to minors, most acknowledge that legal adults can make the decisions to undergo hormone treatments and consent to such surgeries. However, with the federal government and certain states restricting taxpayer dollars from funding youth transgender surgeries, hospitals that offered this service are closing their doors in order to protect their Medicare and Medicaid funding. This has also produced a chilling effect on the less lucrative adult-end of transgender surgeries.
Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC), Tennessee's sole provider of adult transition surgeries, has decided to discontinue the practice, "citing operational limitations."

The Mexican Army team that tried to apprehend but ultimately killed the fearsome leader of the terrorist organization, Cartel Jalisco New Generation (CJNG), Ruben Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes, received specialized training from U.S. Navy Seals shortly before the operation.
Breitbart Texas was able to confirm with high-level members of the U.S. intelligence community that Navy SEAL instructors traveled to Mexico earlier this month for a series of trainings aimed at targeting and apprehending top-level cartel figures. Earlier this month, amid much controversy, Mexico’s Senate voted to allow U.S. special forces operators to travel into the country to train their Mexican counterparts.
President Trump has long contended that the world’s largest bank, JPMorgan Chase, and other financial institutions “debanked” the Trump Organization following the events of Jan. 6, 2021, at the Capitol. By summarily closing accounts without warning or explanation and refusing to deal with companies, banks can cripple their cash flow and ability to keep their business operating.
I attended a speech by Trump’s second son and VP of the Trump Organization, Eric, in October of ’25, where he described how devastating it was for the company, and how they had to turn to cryptocurrencies to survive.

"This is AI slop. It is impossible that Newsom actually said this," social scientist Charles Murray posted in response to California Gov. Gavin Newsom's latest ham-fisted attempt at connecting with voters outside his state. "Right?" Murray added, and you could practically hear him begging for it not to be true.

Who Cares If Democrats Boycott Trump’s SOTU?

A few days ago, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) gave America some very welcome news. During a press conference he said that his Democratic members had two choices with regard to President Trump‘s upcoming State of the Union address: “The two options that are in front of us, in our house, is either attend with silent defiance, or to not attend.” This will definitely be a win-win for everyone who tunes in Tuesday evening to hear what the President has to say about his first-year accomplishments and future plans for the country.

Black homeowners are fuming over Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s threat that he’ll raise their property taxes by nearly 10% — with some telling The Post it could force them out of New York City.
“Mayor Zohran Mamdani you are out of your goddamn mind,” Cambria Heights resident James Johnson seethed.
Critics like Johnson, 35, a Democratic City Council candidate and an activist for the predominantly black and working class Queens neighborhood, argued the proposed tax hike was a whiplash-inducing departure from Hizzoner’s campaign promise that only the ultra wealthy would see their taxes go up under his administration.

The Democratic Party’s latest talking point against the SAVE Act is almost performance art in its absurdity.
We are now expected to believe that birth certificates are mystical documents, whispered about in legend but never actually seen. They are simply too elusive for modern Americans to locate and too burdensome for a civilized society to require.
Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom and socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent from Vermont, have both recently claimed they do not know where their vital records are, as though those documents vanished into the same void as missing socks. “I don’t have my birth certificate,” Sanders said last week. “God knows how I get it.”

Abigail Spanberger, the new governor of Virginia, who has been tapped to deliver the Democrats’ State of the Union reply Tuesday night, is the perfect avatar for her party’s deception.
With her long blond bob, minimalist makeup, pinched face and brisk air, she looks like the sort of competent working mom you’d encounter at school drop-off in any affluent suburb. In other words, she seems like somebody you instinctively trust.
But don’t be fooled by appearances. Spanberger is an expert at subterfuge, having spent eight years as an undercover CIA case officer, aka a spy, under Barack Obama and John Brennan, in the era when Democrats turned national security back on itself.

Focus on Minnesota found a state lawmaker and survivors of a “hidden” brutality raising concerns as neither prosecutions nor sanctions could be linked to a felony impacting women and girls. (snip) “It’s hidden — it’s a cultural practice, and who is doing the cutting could be a family member or a doctor who is also in that same culture,” Minnesota state Rep. Mary Franson (R) told the outlet more than three decades after the procedure that cuts, piercess, removes or sews closed parts or all of the female’s external genitals was made a felony in her state.

Rice was national security adviser and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations under former President Barack Obama, and later served as a senior advisor in the Biden White House. She returned to Netflix’s board in 2023 after leaving her role as director of the Domestic Policy Council in the Biden administration.
Rice boasted during a podcast last week that “it is not going to end well” for corporations, news organizations, and law firms that “bent the knee” to Trump, claiming that their deference to the president is unpopular.She said that firms aligned with Trump could face an “accountability agenda” if Democrats return to power, stating,—

The armed madman who was shot and killed by the Secret Service after he snuck onto President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate Sunday was reportedly obsessed with the Jeffrey Epstein files — and implored others to “raise awareness” just days before the deadly encounter. Austin Tucker Martin, 21, was gunned down by local Florida police and members of the Secret Service after he brandished his shotgun in a “shooting position” on Trump’s property, authorities said. He was reported missing by his family after he vanished Saturday. His mother, Melissa Martin, made a missing person poster for him, describing the silver Volkswagen he
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has reportedly taken steps to prepare for the possibility of his assassination or removal as tensions with the United States and Israel intensify.
According to a New York Times report published on Sunday, Khamenei elevated longtime ally Ali Larijani to serve as the country’s de facto decision-maker during January’s anti-government unrest.
The move has effectively sidelined Iran’s elected president, Masoud Pezeshkian.
Larijani, a former Revolutionary Guards commander and current secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, is now taking on an expanded role in the state’s affairs.
