US Border Patrol helicopter forced down by gunfire from Mexico

Saturday, June 6th, 2015

A U.S. Customs and Border Protection helicopter operating near the Mexican border Texas was forced down after taking gunfire from people firing from Mexico.  An article from Breitbart states that the helicopter was part of a team interdicting a narcotics load and working with the U.S. Border Patrol.  The operation occurred near the headquarters of the Los Zetas drug cartel.

One has to wonder if the Los Zetas were one of the Mexican drug cartels that the Obama regime supplied weapons to.

I am prepared to be underwhelmed by our Dear Leader’s response to this armed attack from a foreign country on US federal agents.  The Mexican drug cartels have declared war the US.  Hopefully the response will be something stronger than supplying them more weapons payed for by the American taxpayer.

Update: CBP now has armored Blackhawks on the Mexican border.

Leftist bias vs. reality

Thursday, March 21st, 2013

I was listening to a tech podcast where a couple of California were making fun of Texas Governor Rick Perry.

Let’s compare Texas under the leadership of Gov. Perry to California under Governor Moonbeam.

Let’s start with unemployment for January 2013

Texas: 6.3%

California: 9.8%

The federal U3 rate for January was 7.9%

So Texas was under the national rate by 1.3% while California was over the national rate by 1.9%

Take a look at job growth in Texas vs. California, and population shifts.  The people California needs to pay its criminally high tax rates are leaving California.  One of the more popular destinations of those fleeing Governor Moonbeam’s socialist paradise is Texas.

 

It’s clear that the tech reporters in question were laughing based on their leftist political bias, and not economic reality.
