Came across this weird bit of news about this presentation about aliens, apparently made right in the Mexican Congress, complete with claims of actual bodies of said aliens, and photographs as well: Links: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/13/world/americas/alien-mummy-congress-mexico.html...

Today the Mexican Supreme Court decided that bans on same sex marriage are unconstitutional, but the article indicates that they don't have the power to block the laws. So, what happens now? Does it force legislative action or is there some other mechanism that happens after a ruling like this...

Mexico will almost surely join the list of countries that have decriminalized the possession and use of small quantities of drugs for personal use. The bill, which will quite likely be signed into law by President Calderón, has already been approved by the Senate and the House of...

Warrior in Drug Fight Soon Becomes a Victim How did these drug cartels get so powerful and brazen? Can they be stopped? Is the war on drugs worth the cost? Say what you want about the companies that produce legal drugs like alcohol and tobacco, but they are much more benign than this.

http://www.kansascity.com/659/story/885761.html Sounds eerily like press gangs of the 17th and 18th centuries, or slavers throughout the Old World for centuries on end. The article isn't in enough depth, unfortunately, but this isn't the first such story I have seen in the news over the past...

...that I haven't taken and would love to do!!! I do like a vacation off the water now and then... For those that missed it, Joe and his lovely wife (parents of one Jeff Wagg) apparently have Randi hooked on Cruises after TAA1, and are now offering a fourth cruise from Los Angeles to Cabo San...

Mobs in Mexico Attack Fans of Emo Music I guess The Obvious Question is, has The Breakfast Club been translated into Spanish?

Late last night a statement was released by the transportation Dept granting Mexican trucks authority to operate anywhere in the United States. http://www.reuters.com/article/domesticNews/idUSKRA71425920070907?pageNumber=2

I hope the choices are fair enough. I took it as granted that the border is not secure, because.. you know.. they ain't.

...and it's not even the heaviest ever. That 10kg baby in Italy must have been quite a spectacle.

Link. This I found interesting: But... Somehow, Parkland seems to be able to figure out who's illegal, since they bill Uncle Sam (i.e., you and me and everyone else who sends in a 1040 on April 15) for the cost. Historica: Parkland Memorial Hospital is where President Kennedy died after being...

Oh damn, not again. Shades of Bush V Gore?

I don't know if anyone else has been following the election in Mexico, but I have. And I have only because NPR has been covering it in depth for the last few week, and I'm a regular listener. :) It has struck me that we don't seem to have any JREF forum members from Mexico. Do we? Anyway...

Link Just a matter of time before the demonstrators show up... :D

I thought that this would be a great and novel idea. Get rid of the Government of Mexico and make it a 51th state. Get rid of the borders and allow anyone to go there or come here. First we would need to put out a vote to all of the Mexican people. Decide wether they want to become the 51th...

Hello my dear JREF'ers (i really don't know how you are suppose to pronounce that...) It is with great dismay that I write this post, in the middle of what should be the time devoted to study for my exam in Sports Medicine.... Anyway, surfing trough pages about Secretaría de Salud (Health...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4133618.stm I confess that this story is basically consistent with my image of the country. However, having never been there and having never known any Mexicans I'm probably wrong. Anyone here lived there? What was it like? How localized is this kind of crime?

CNN article on old prints I hadn't seen this discussed here. Yet another bit of evidence that humans have been in the Americas much longer than previously thought. How widely accepted is it now that humans have been here quite a bit longer than 13,000 years? Interesting stuff.

That's why I say that one of the provisions for granting a green card or citizenship to illegals would be to stipulate that they have to take some kind of an oath to this country, and perhaps be manditorily have to serve in our military. Thren, my thread question will be solved. I really should...

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,104252,00.html Anybody versed in Mexican politics care to opine on this issue? Who are the bad guys? What is the background story leading up to this? Why is the Mexican economy in the sh!tter?
