Sinaloa Mexico cartel: Pilot found his calling smuggling cocaine

BP bankruptcy: As the oil continues to flow and the environmental disaster continues to grow, it is a scenario that has to be given some credence.

Where has Obama been, and what has he been doing since the 2010 Gulf oil spill began? Golf, parties, gym, basketball, etc. Everything you would expect from this President.

Everything that you never wanted to know about a top kill.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to keep terrorists from moving across our border with Mexico. The Arizona immigration law is a good start!

Since the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon rig April 20 killed 11 oil rig workers, the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico continues to claim the lives of wildlife, like birds and sea turtles, compromise the fishing and tourism industries, and threaten the culture of the Gulf coast. That, and it's spawned an awful lot of misconceptions.

THE nota roja, a section reporting the previous day's murders and car crashes in all their bloodstained detail, is an established feature of Mexican newspapers. It is also an expanding one, as fighting over the drug trail to the United States inspires ever-greater feats of violence. Last month in the northern state of Durango, a group of prisoners was apparently released from jail for the night to murder 18 partygoers in a next-door state. A few days later, 14 inmates were murdered in a prison in Tamaulipas. In all, since Felipe Calderón sent the army against the drug gangs when he took office as president almost four years ago, some 28,000 people have been killed, the government says. There is no sign of a let-up, on either side.

AFP - The race to avert an oil catastrophe in the Gulf of Mexico intensified Thursday with BP rushing to lower a dome to contain the spill, while sheen was confirmed on land for the first time.

Simply because the Tucson shooting and violence in Mexico are in the headlines today, does not mean that existing stories like North Korean nuclear weapons are any less critical to stay on top of.

Caution: It is vitally important not to make connections. When you see pictures of rubble like this week's shots from Joplin, Mo., you should not wonder: Is this somehow related to the tornado outbreak three weeks ago in Tuscaloosa, Ala., or the enormous outbreak a couple of weeks before that (which, together, comprised the most active April for tornadoes in U.S. history). No, that doesn't mean a thing. It is far better to think of these as isolated, unpredictable, discrete events. It is not advisable to try to connect them in your mind with, say, the fires burning across Texas - fires that have burned more of America at this point this year than any wildfires have in previous years. Texas, and adjoining parts of Oklahoma and New Mexico, are drier than they've ever been - the drought is worse than that of the Dust Bowl. But do not wonder if they're somehow connected.

This article explains the difference between a natural disaster and a corporate mishap.

Watch the oil company executives get crucified by the Congress live on C-SPAN3 concerning the BP oil spill and the future of offshore drilling in the United States.

President Obama's Democrat base is beginning to understand what the rest of us already knew: He is an incompetent leader on many levels.

The time for presidential rhetoric is over. It is time for some action. This performance makes Katrina look like a home run!

Read the truth before you believe the spin. Facts, numbers and statistics may not be as glorified as running around like you have your hair on fire, but the facts prove we are the most generous country in the world with immigration, and this bill was just another attempt to buy votes.
