Mexican security forces reportedly kill drug cartel boss ‘El Mencho’

One of the world’s most wanted drug traffickers – the Mexican cartel boss known as “El Mencho” – has reportedly been killed by his country’s security forces.

The drug lord, whose real name is Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, was killed on Sunday in the western state of Jalisco, Mexican newspapers reported, citing government sources.

The 59-year-old gangster was the leader of a group that in recent years has become Mexico’s most powerful and notorious criminal organisation: the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.

Having coordinated car fires across the Puerto Vallarta area and being told to stay in my Airbnb was not on my bingo card for trying to get home today.

All while trying to watch the Canada game we just lost. 😑

A ghost story falls in the category of fantasy. And former ABC reporter Tara Palmeri’s Halloween-in-February hot take in Vanity Fair on Thursday, “Epstein’s Ghost Is Calling All the Shots in Trump’s White House,” certainly falls within the realm of fantasy. She updates Banquo’s ghost to the 21st century and engages in the fantasy that Epstein’s ghost is somehow haunting Trump’s every move.

Former prime minister Stephen Harper urged the Liberal and Conservative parties to take on the challenges of our time together as the country stares down two potentially existential threats to its sovereignty: an imperialist president to the south and separatist movements in Alberta and Quebec.

Speaking at an event Tuesday where his official prime ministerial portrait was unveiled on Parliament Hill, Harper said while the two major parties may differ on some matters of policy, those issues should be secondary to keeping the country together.

There is the Canada I grew up in and the Canada of today.

I have very little connection to the latter and believe the situation beyond fixable.

I don’t think I’m alone.

Hillary Clinton took to social media to express support for the rioters in Minneapolis even as the disgraced former candidate and her husband were dodging a congressional subpoena looking into their relationship with family friend and Clinton Foundation co-founder Jeffrey Epstein.

After condemning the Trump administration’s push to deport illegal alien criminals from Minneapolis, despite the obstruction of violent leftist rioters who had tried to murder federal law enforcement agents and bit off an agent’s finger, Clinton urged directing funding to the rioters.

Boy did America ever dodge a bullet.

On Friday, it was reported that Don Lemon was arrested for his part in the invasion of a St. Paul, MN church. The notoriously leftist Lemon (he’s a multiple winner of MRC’s Worst Quote of the Year) was so biased that he actually got fired from CNN.

For a look at the worst of Lemon’s time at CNN see here. 

Since Lemon was canned from his CNN show, he has continued his horrible ways as a podcaster.

U.S. President Donald Trump doubled down on his recent jabs at Canada by saying “Canada is systematically destroying itself” and calling “the China deal” a “disaster.”

“Will go down as one of the worst deals, of any kind, in history,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Sunday afternoon. “All their businesses are moving to the USA. I wanted to see Canada SURVIVE AND THRIVE!”

While Prime Minister Mark Carney says Qatar is a “critical partner to Canada in many shared pursuits of peace and stability,” the country also has a travel advisory warning “exercise a high degree of caution” when going there.

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government said Thursday it would welcome more Chinese investment in Canadian energy, including the oil sands, during a visit to Beijing that the Asian giant’s Premier called a “new starting point” for bilateral relations.

Mr. Carney released a blueprint for warmer and closer relations with Beijing, during his first trip to China this week in search of more foreign investment and markets for Canada to offset the damage of U.S. protectionist tariffs.

During the final stretch of Canada’s spring election campaign, Mark Carney told a debate audience that China was the country’s “biggest geopolitical risk”. He pointed to its attempts to meddle in elections and its recent efforts to disrupt Canada’s Arctic claims.

When Carney’s government plane touches down in Beijing this week, it will be the first time a Canadian prime minister has been welcomed in nearly a decade. The trip, undertaken amid the rupturing of global economic and political alliances, reflects a desire by Ottawa to mend a broken relationship with a global superpower that uses its vast and lucrative market to both woo and punish countries.

Canada is experiencing a quiet but unmistakable crisis of legitimacy, and the numbers prove it.

New data from the Statistics Canada Canadian Social Survey for the fourth quarter of 2024 shows what many Canadians already feel in their gut: confidence in the country’s most powerful institutions is eroding fast. And nowhere is that collapse more obvious than in Federal Parliament and the Canadian media.

President Trump has said the Iranian supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is looking to flee the country as protests against his rule continue to spread.

Thousands of Iranians took to the streets on Friday night during an internet blackout by the authorities as what started as anger over the collapsing economy escalated into the most significant wave of dissent against the Islamic regime since demonstrations over disputed elections in 2009.

Lebanese media say Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi’s visit to Beirut was not merely ceremonial, as he arrived accompanied by his family.

Those traveling with him included his wife Arezoo Ahmadfand, his daughter Sadat, and his sons Seyed Hossein and Seyed Reza.
