At least 18 killed as criminal groups clash in northeastern Mexico

2011-03-08 11:31:54 GMT+7 (ICT)

CIUDAD VICTORIA, MEXICO (BNO NEWS) -- At least 18 people were killed when two criminal groups clashed in northeastern region of Mexico, officials said Monday.

Mexico's Public Security Department said that at around 6:50 a.m. local time, the groups clashed at Abasolo, Tamaulipas' municipal building.

A series of trucks and SUV's with around 4 or 5 people in each one of them opened and exchanged fire. As drug cartel violence has dramatically increased throughout the region, the town has lacked a state police command post for several months.

The department said they were coordinating security efforts with local authorities in order to investigate the incident, but no further information was available.

Mitch McConnel, Is It Hot Where You Are?

It turns out ole' Mitch is in a tight spot, and the GOP are doing everything they can to avoid having to run a special election to replace him, fearing that a certain Thomas Massie might decide to run. So they're pulling out all the stops to make it sound that he's not so far gone that they're legally required to do it.

Over 300,000 kids bunk off school, seemingly more interested in football than education. I wonder if these are the same kids the rightwing pearl clutchers insist are being discriminated against in schools? https://www.theguardian.com/education/2026/jul/06/thousands-of-children-absent-from-school-in-wake-of-overnight-england-world-cup-win

As the US top dog Donald Trump touches down in the Turkish capital of Ankara for the NATO Leaders Summit - along with around 1,400 of his minions - a very strange tradition is raising its head once again. Everything that the charismatic 80-year-old relieves his body of will not touch foreign soil. Instead, it'll be collected in his personal toilet system, watched hawk-like by accompanying members of the Secret Service with pegs on their nose. But what in God's name is this all about? https://w

https://leavingmaga.org/ Dear MAGA Americans, I was a devoted member of MAGA nation for seven years; it made me feel I was part of something important: a movement that was trying to save American democracy. But starting in 2021, I realized I had been mistaken. It took me a full year to finally break away. During that time, I came to understand that MAGA is sustained by a series of myths that are intended to create perpetual feelings of desperation and panic. Succumbing to these predatory myths
