Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

  • Police in Mexico detained a suspect known as M-47 who may have ordered the mass killing of the music band Grupo Fugitivo in Tamaulipas state. Relatives of the band members received ransom demands after the men's disappearance; four days later their bodies were discovered. 12 suspects have been arrested in connection with this heinous murder. The Gulf Cartel has its stronghold in Tamaulipas state and engages in the smuggling of drugs and migrants across the US-Mexico border, as well as kidnapping for ransom. Unclear is why the members of Grupo Fugitivo were targeted.
  • A fire killed 12 and injured three people who were reportedly locked up inside a drug rehab center in the violence-plagued Mexican state of Guanajuato. Mexico's privately run drug rehabilitation centers are often abusive, clandestine, unregulated, and underfunded. Rehab centers like this one have been the targets of similar attacks in the past.

    Murdering harmless musicians requires a special kind of depravity. Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum has her hands full trying to uplift her people from poverty, a water shortage and imminent drought, defanging the drug cartels, and protecting the sovereignty of her country from the Dotard Trumpf junta.

    Whether the US has a Republican or Democrat in the White House, the American taxpayer is better off sending more foreign assistance to our neighbor to the south and much less to faraway Israel who is using it for nefarious purposes anyway. Mexico's problems affect us more than Israel's. And Mexicans could use the money more than Israelis: Mexico GNI per capita = $12,000; Israel GNI per capita = $55,000; plus Israelis enjoy excellent universal healthcare. If the US boosts Mexico's economy, we will see much less strife over there and possibly less migration to the US.

    Moreover, Mexican servicemembers died fighting alongside Americans as allies in WWII; ZERO Israelis fought alongside the US over the past 77 years (e.g. Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan).
