The left's irrational attempt to criminalize Trump
Andrew West: Just as the left was preparing yet another round of propaganda aimed at tarnishing Donald Trump’s political brand, the DOJ released a relatively powerful new memo, shedding light on their decision not to prosecute the former President at the end of the RussiaGate ruse. Pundits on the left have been feverishly attempting to suggest that Trump’s storage of government documents at Mar-a-Lago was a part of some outlandish scheme to sell information to foreign adversaries.

The drug cartels' uncivil war in Mexico
KPBS: The San Diego-Tijuana border region was jolted just over a week ago, when cartel members launched a campaign of terror on the streets of Tijuana, with vehicles being set ablaze and gunmen blocking major thoroughfares. Residents on both sides of the border were shocked by the brazen attacks, and normalcy didn’t return until days later. But, for those who study the cartels, the actions were part of an all-too-familiar pattern.
