We've been reporting as more information comes to light about Sunday's raid in Mexico that resulted in the permanent revocation of Jalisco New Generation cartel honcho Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes's birth certificate. The late, unlamented cartel boss, also known as El Mencho, is still cooling to room temperature, thanks to Mexican police and military troops, aided by American intelligence. Now, in the latest development, a New York Post exclusive story has come out indicating that Mexico may have sweetened the deal for America by quietly extraditing 92 cartel members to face charges in the Estados Unidos.

Rice was national security adviser and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations under former President Barack Obama, and later served as a senior advisor in the Biden White House. She returned to Netflix’s board in 2023 after leaving her role as director of the Domestic Policy Council in the Biden administration. Rice boasted during a podcast last week that “it is not going to end well” for corporations, news organizations, and law firms that “bent the knee” to Trump, claiming that their deference to the president is unpopular.She said that firms aligned with Trump could face an “accountability agenda” if Democrats return to power, stating,—

How do destructive ideas and bouts of collective madness so quickly become policy, law, and the status quo? After all, most have little public support—and are not Western nations supposedly rationally governed? There is usually a multi-step process on the road to these self-destructive fits of society-wide insanity. The suicidal impulse so often begins with left-leaning researchers in elite universities (i.e., the tenured in search of a novel, grant-getting theory). They begin insisting that a new existential threat requires immediate government intervention, novel legislation, ample funding, and public awareness of the impending danger.

“Are you crazy?” hollers the second guy. “Lions can reach a top speed of 50 mph! You can’t outrun a lion!” “I don’t need to outrun the lion,” huffs the first guy. “I just gotta outrun you.” That’s the blessing and the curse of binary decision-making: Unless perfect is on the ballot, whoever the voters choose will have flaws. It’s a curse for good governance, because it means the process itself is inherently flawed. Its features and bugs are one and the same; it’ll always be an arduous, inefficient, slow-moving system. (Which, in all honesty, is often a positive.) But it’s a yuuuge blessing for candidates, because having flaws and character defects isn’t fatal.

The State Department on Sunday issued a warning to U.S. citizens in certain parts of Mexico to shelter in place until further notice on account of “ongoing security operations and related road blockages and criminal activity.” The regions listed in the advisory include the Mexican states of Jalisco, Tamaulipas, Michoacán, Guerrero and Nuevo Leon. The warning came after the Mexican army killed the powerful leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, or “El Mencho,” on Sunday, Mexico’s Ministry of Defense said in a statement on the social platform X. Violent clashes erupted in parts of western Mexico after the drug lord’s death,

Sports commentator Stephen A. Smith on Friday blasted the Democratic members of Congress who plan to boycott President Trump’s State of the Union address this week, calling it “the kind of stuff that ticks me off.” “You see, when you go to the American people and you ask the American people, ‘Yo, stand up, step up and hand them your business, stop b—-ing and screaming all the time when you’ve got problems at the job, when you’ve got bills to pay, when you’ve got a family to take care of, find a way to work around it, adhere to your business,’ how come that can’t apply to elected officials?”

Cartel gunmen have begun carrying out terrorist attacks in various states in Mexico in response to the death of the country’s most powerful terrorist cartel leader, Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes. Mexico’s government confirmed the death of the cartel boss, which resulted from an enforcement operation. Mexican officials confirmed the death of Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes early Sunday afternoon. Officials reported that El Mencho died during a targeted enforcment operation where government forces killed four gunmen. Officials claim El Mencho was among those killed in the gun battle.

The U.S. Embassy in Mexico issued an emergency shelter‑in‑place alert on Sunday, warning Americans to remain indoors as cartel violence erupted across multiple states following the Mexican military’s killing of CJNG leader Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera. The alert covers Jalisco, Tamaulipas, Michoacán, Guerrero, and Nuevo León, where roadblocks, burning vehicles, and armed clashes have shut down travel and triggered widespread flight cancellations. As violence erupted across the region, the U.S. Embassy and Consulates in Mexico issued a security alert, warning, “Due to ongoing security operations and related road blockages and criminal activity, U.S. citizens in the named locations should shelter in place until further notice.”

The California political machine is officially in panic mode. With the June 2026 primary fast approaching, a shocking new reality is setting in for the Golden State’s Democrat establishment: the very voting system they championed could shut them out of the Governor’s mansion completely. Unlike most states that hold partisan primaries, California dumps all candidates from all parties into one single primary election. The only rule? The top two vote-getters advance to the general election Party affiliation doesn’t matter That means: If Democrats split their vote among multiple candidates, and Republicans consolidate behind just one or two, it is entirely possible for two Republicans to advance to the November runoff, shutting Democrats out completely.

On Sunday, the Palm Beach County Sheriff, Ric Bradshaw, announced the identity of the man shot and killed trying to enter President Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate. The intruder has been identified as 21-year-old Austin Tucker Martin of North Carolina. That's uncomfortably close, although the president wasn't present, nor were any other Secret Service protectees. RedState's own Susie Moore covered the story as it broke earlier on Sunday: An assassination attempt? President Trump is often at Mar-a-Lago on weekends, although it's not difficult to ascertain his whereabouts on any given day. But, President Trump has attracted his fair share of attention from nutcase would-be assassins.

RedState has been keeping readers in the loop on the controversy surrounding the major sewage spill into the Potomac River, affecting Washington, D.C., and nearby areas. On Tuesday, President Donald Trump wrote in a Truth Social post that "as a result of incompetent Local and State Management of Essential Waste Management Systems," namechecking Democrat Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, "[t]he Federal Government has no choice, but to step in. FEMA, which is currently being defunded by the Democrats, will play a key role in coordinating the response.". We also shared Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem pointing out the hypocrisy of Congressional Democrats leaving these same federal employees without pay,

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds,” Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote. The Democrats might repeat Emerson’s motto, but they go one better. They eschew all forms of consistency—except one. Today, since the Supreme Court just ruled against Trump’s use of the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose tariffs, the Dems are in a festive mood and are happy to praise the Court. No worries, Trump has recourse to many other statutes to pursue his economic policies. That was something the Left began to realize by Friday afternoon, when Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent set forth their plans for a workaround.
