You have to be brave to stand up to Mexico’s border area drug gangs.  They’ve got all the money, power, and weapons they could possibly want; how could Mexico’s beleaguered police forces stand up to that?  Well, long story short, they can’t.  In the wake of an entire town’s police force quitting after their new station was riddled with bullets, a second town is now cop-free after their last police officer was kidnapped.  Erika Gandara, a 28-year-old woman, was the last surviving cop in the northern Mexican town of Guadalupe until she was kidnapped by gang members.

It just doesn’t pay to be a police officer in Mexico.  Since 2006, over 30,000 people have been executed in Mexican drug wars.  It’s all about controlling those northern routes for moving dope across the border, and if the cops get in the way, well… you see what happens.  I wouldn’t want to be this young woman right now, assuming she’s still alive.  Whatever she’s going through, it’s not pretty.  After all, the gang members burned her house, two of her cars, and then dragged her off.

It’s not going to end well for this young woman.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
