Mexico Explodes: It's Now Open War Between
Cartels, Mexican Military

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 2/23/2026 2:44:48 AM

On Sunday, we reported on the developing mess in Mexico: The resort town of Puerto Vallarta locked down, travel warnings, tourists "advised" to stay within the resorts, to shelter in place. There were rumors that the fighting was kicked off by the Mexican military's killing a notorious cartel goblin, Ruben "Nemesio" Oseguera Cervantes, known as "El Mencho," leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). That killing has now been confirmed. Now, over Sunday night, Mexico is plunged into warfare between the Mexican government and the cartels; the military is again involved, and there are indications that the cartels may have the government outgunned. That's not good.

Pretty sure President Trump would be glad to help if asked. It would be one of the best things to occur for many years. Get in there and totally wipe the Cartels out.

Mexican cartel leaders always have names that start with "El". Hopefully, there will be a civil war over who runs his empire.

While much of the transgender debate has surrounded restricting so-called gender affirming care to minors, most acknowledge that legal adults can make the decisions to undergo hormone treatments and consent to such surgeries. However, with the federal government and certain states restricting taxpayer dollars from funding youth transgender surgeries, hospitals that offered this service are closing their doors in order to protect their Medicare and Medicaid funding. This has also produced a chilling effect on the less lucrative adult-end of transgender surgeries. Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC), Tennessee's sole provider of adult transition surgeries, has decided to discontinue the practice, "citing operational limitations."

The Mexican Army team that tried to apprehend but ultimately killed the fearsome leader of the terrorist organization, Cartel Jalisco New Generation (CJNG), Ruben Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes, received specialized training from U.S. Navy Seals shortly before the operation. Breitbart Texas was able to confirm with high-level members of the U.S. intelligence community that Navy SEAL instructors traveled to Mexico earlier this month for a series of trainings aimed at targeting and apprehending top-level cartel figures. Earlier this month, amid much controversy, Mexico’s Senate voted to allow U.S. special forces operators to travel into the country to train their Mexican counterparts.

President Trump has long contended that the world’s largest bank, JPMorgan Chase, and other financial institutions “debanked” the Trump Organization following the events of Jan. 6, 2021, at the Capitol. By summarily closing accounts without warning or explanation and refusing to deal with companies, banks can cripple their cash flow and ability to keep their business operating. I attended a speech by Trump’s second son and VP of the Trump Organization, Eric, in October of ’25, where he described how devastating it was for the company, and how they had to turn to cryptocurrencies to survive.

The unhinged ex-CUNY professor who savagely held a machete to the neck of a New York Post reporter now has a permanent, taxpayer-funded art installation in the Bronx. The NYC Department of Cultural Affairs ignored Shellyne Rodriguez’s infamous past by green-lighting a $407,000 budget for her 23-foot-tall brick, steel and terracotta Marxist monstrosity called “Phoenix Ladder: Monument to the People of the Bronx.” It was unveiled in November along Grand Concourse and Morris Avenue — a little more than two years after she copped a wrist-slap plea deal with Bronx prosecutors for her assault on veteran New York Post scribe Reuven Fenton.

WASHINGTON - A new U.S.-military-led task force specializing in intelligence collection on drug cartels played a role in the Mexican military raid on Sunday that killed the Mexican drug lord known as 'El Mencho,' a U.S. defense official told Reuters. The Joint Interagency Task Force-Counter Cartel, which involves multiple U.S. government agencies, was quietly launched late last year with the goal of mapping out networks of drug cartel members on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border, U.S. officials said. The U.S. official, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity, did not offer further details

MEXICO CITY - Mexican drug lord Nemesio Oseguera, commonly known as 'El Mencho,' has been killed in a military operation, a government source familiar with the operation told Reuters on Sunday. An ex-police officer, Oseguera was the shadowy leader of the powerful Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), an outfit that took its moniker from the western state of the same name that is home to Mexico's second largest city, Guadalajara. Over a relatively short period of time, the CJNG morphed into a continents-spanning criminal enterprise rivaling his former allies in the Sinaloa Cartel

A young man tried to enter Mar-a-Lago with a shotgun and a can of gasoline at around 1:30 this morning. Early reports indicate that he was challenged by police and the Secret Service and refused to put down his gun. They shot and killed him. As of this writing, we don’t know the identity of the intruder, but we can be pretty sure we know his motivation–the insane Trump hatred that has been stirred up by the Democratic Party.

You can’t say we didn’t warn New York what was going to happen if it elected Zohran Mamdani, but I gotta say, I don’t think anyone predicted it would start collapsing so quickly. But, alas, it has. That socialist utopia that Mamdani was supposed to deliver has instead turned into a slow-motion fiscal catastrophe a mere two months in — and even the liberal media is starting to notice. Mamdani unveiled a $127 billion budget for fiscal year 2027 this week — a staggering $5 billion increase over the prior year. But what's $5 billion between socialists, right? To put that into perspective, Mamdani’s proposed budget is

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson announced on Friday that he was denying a request from the family of former Democratic presidential candidate and civil rights activist Jesse Jackson to allow Jackson to lie in state in the Capitol rotunda. There was an immediate reaction from many on the left. (X) However, Johnson was absolutely right to deny the Jackson family's request to allow his body to lie in state in the Capitol rotunda. There are very strict protocols governing who can lie in state. Even former Vice President Dick Cheney was denied that honor. Generally, the honor is reserved for presidents, noted military leaders, and select government officials.

The bank admitted on Friday that “more than 50 Trump accounts” were cut off in February 2021, weeks after the January 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol, according to the New York Times. The revelation by JPMorgan came after Trump “and the Trump Organization” filed a lawsuit in January against JPMorgan Chase and its CEO, Jamie Dimon, for having debanked the president, according to the outlet. Per the outlet, accounts that JPMorgan reportedly “debanked” were accounts “for Trump hotels, housing developments and retail shops” in several states, along with “Trump’s personal private banking relationship that handled his inheritance:”

Former Vice President Mike Pence just reminded the MAGA movement what a duplicitous traitor he is — and always has been. On Friday afternoon, Justices John Roberts, Amy Coney Barrett, and Neil Gorsuch joined the court’s three liberal members to strike down President Trump’s signature tariff policy, a central tenet of his 2024 campaign. Pence, who is widely despised across the conservative grassroots, took to the X platform to celebrate the decision: Today’s 6-3 ruling by the Supreme Court is a Victory for the American People and a Win for the Separation of Powers enshrined in the Constitution of the United States.

This week, former Obama advisor and current Netflix board member Susan Rice pulled back the curtain on what Democrats plan to do once they’re back in power, and it was pretty fascist. On Preet Bharara’s podcast, Obama’s scandal-scarred former U.N. ambassador promised that any corporation, law firm, university, or media outlet that “took a knee to Trump” will be targeted when the left is back in charge. “It’s not gonna end well for them,” she warned, casting basic engagement with the Trump administration as a kind of original sin that must be punished. And now President Donald Trump wants accountability. On Saturday, Trump called on Netflix to fire Rice.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is facing blowback after unveiling a new $239 million rehabilitation center at the infamous San Quentin prison — complete with a cafe and sweeping views of San Francisco Bay. Newsom attended the opening of the new San Quentin Learning Center, with the goal of “proving that rehabilitation and public safety go hand in hand,” he said at ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday. The center, which features Scandinavian-inspired design, also includes podcast studios, recording spaces and a store “to normalize social and vocational experiences.” Critics of the amenity-filled center blasted Newsom for the redesign, saying prisons shouldn’t be cushy.

A new FBI memo puts President Joe Biden in the thick of the Mar-a-Lago search of President Donald Trump's home. The memo puts an end to any rumors or partisan talking points; internal emails and memos outline briefings, coordination, and presidential approval before federal agents entered Trump's home. In January 2022, the National Archives and Records Administration received 15 boxes of presidential materials from Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate. Staff members found documents bearing classified markings, and requested additional materials from Trump's team. Archivist officials believed more records remained at the property. The dispute moved from paperwork to potential criminal exposure within a matter of months.

A planned protest at the Buchenwald concentration camp memorial on the anniversary of its liberation is igniting backlash in Germany for a simple reason: Activists intend to turn a Holocaust commemoration into a contemporary political demonstration. According to reports, radical organizations are organizing a demonstration at the site on April 11 under the slogan “Keffiyehs in Buchenwald,” accusing the memorial’s management of “spreading Israeli propaganda” and not being “hostile enough toward Israel.” Among the groups involved are the student wing of Germany’s Left Party, the anti-Israel group Jewish Voice for a Just Peace in the Middle East, and the German Communist Party. The date is not incidental.

A major Mexican resort town was under siege on Sunday and an airport was reportedly attacked after the leader of the brutal Jalisco New Generation Cartel was killed by the army on Sunday. Tourists in Puerto Vallarta were warned to stay indoors as narco gangs lashed out following the death of drug kingpin Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes, the powerful boss of the violent crime outfit. The US State Department urged Americans to shelter in place. “Federal forces carried out an operation in Tapalpa a few hours ago, which has led to clashes in the area,” Jalisco Governor Pablo Lemus Navarro said on X.
