An excellent and essential column, Ann!

For decades I've been astounded that so many Americans (and Europeans) vacation in Mexico regularly when we have so many beautiful places right here in America they can go to. It's sometimes hard for me to process the apparent reality that the combination of cheap hotels, cheap booze and cheap hookers are so much of an overwhelming draw that they're more than willing to roll the dice over coming home safely versus contracting Montezuma's Revenge or winding up hacked to pieces and sealed in an oil drum somewhere under the Mexican desert landscape.

This is yet another in the long, long lists of indictments of legacy Western media, that they are so utterly terrified of being called 'racist' for honestly reporting on the regular horrific crimes in Mexico that they will simply ignore it all for the most part, and in so doing people are lulled into the idea that vacationing there is just as safe as going anywhere else. Your relentless hammering on immigration issues as well as Mexican crime is sincerely appreciated but I do wish that far more people would hear your words. Vast numbers of people are needlessly dying over this.

As to America's involvement in overseas wars, it seems that most of it is entirely profit-driven. With such vast sums of money in the balance, only leaders who are pure of heart can stop it.

I pray that Ron DeSantis is such a leader.

Your analysis is spot on. However with the current leadership in the military, it would be a miracle if they could even take over a local Taco Bell.
