    Two new videos were released on Monday that showed separate incidents of gun battles taking place just south of the Texas border between rival Mexican drug cartels.

    The first video, released by journalists Ildefonso Ortiz and Brandon Darby, show part of a gunfight that took place just outside the Reynosa-Pharr International Bridge near Pharr, Texas.

    The video shows panicked travelers parking their car in front of the offices of the Reynosa-Pharr International Bridge and running inside for cover.

    Mexico is an out of control 3rd world country.

    We should approach control of our border with Mexico as if it is an enemy nation out to do us harm.

    The drug cartels would not have any money if the U.S. of A. did not have a drug problem. Actually, not a problem, but rather a symptom. The problem is sin. All have sinned and come short of the Glory of God. Behold, The Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.

    Keep your powder dry.

    Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

    Mexico is an excellent example of the end result of government controlling the people rather than the people controlling the government.

    Mexican government is corrupt. To keep the people from rebelling against the corrupt government they passed laws that disarmed the people so they could not resist the corrupt government.

    Disarming the people created a safe environment for the drug cartels and the corrupt government persons being paid off by the cartels.

    And the very same leftists are trying to do the same thing in the US. Disarm the people so they will no longer be able to defend themselves from corrupt government and/or those who have paid off corrupt government officials.

    1911...Turkey disarmed citizens....shortly after 1.5 million Armenians are murdered in "ethnic cleansing."

    1929...Russia disarmed citizens....over the next 24 years....20 million Russians are murdered under Stalin.

    1935....China disarmed citizens....between 1948 and
    1952....20 million Chinese are murdered during the "cultural revolution."

    1938....Germany disarmed citizens....over the next seven years....16 million Jews are murdered. In 1931, Weimar Republic government required the registration of all firearms … for ‘public safety.’ Two years later Adolf Hitler was elected Chancellor, used the registration lists to confiscate all firearms. The rest is history.

    1956....Cambodia disarmed its citizens....1975-1977.....1 million educated people were murdered in the "killing fields."

    1964.....Guatemala disarmed its citizens.....then murdered 100,000 Mayans.

    1970....Uganda disarmed its citizens....over the next decade....300,000 Christians are murdered.

    All of these countries had "good reason" to disarm their citizens. History tells us those "good reasons" ended in disaster and/or genocide.

    The only solution to the problems in Mexico is another revolution. Except the people don't have any guns. Only the cartels and the corrupt government have guns.

    Oh I just had something pop up yesterday to say it was your birthday. Don't know where it came from. Perhaps the computer didn't recognise that we have the days first and months second.
