Today on Ankarlo Mornings: Ankarlo talks a little Mexico. Is it time to execute serious drug dealers both here and south of the border? What about people selling guns to the drug cartels?
Some Iowa lawmakers are debating a new law that would punish parents for having porn in their houses. See, if a child finds it the parents could then be charged with child abuse. We are going crazy.
In Seattle, a 15-year old girl was beaten by police. She threw a shoe and the officer and he beat her up. Was it justified? Some of you say yes, some say no.
In the final hour, Ankarlo talks with Dr. Katherine Albrecht about RFID chips. Homeland Security director Janet Napolitano supports that REAL ID act. That would involve placing RFID chips in your driver’s licenses.
If Mexico was truly concerned with unwanted items coming into there country they would improve thier security, like build a fence. No, they like things how they are and blame Americans for Mexico’s 500 deaths and beheadings per Month at the hands of there own people.
[…] Yesterday, Ankarlo and Diane were talking about a story that shows conservative states are the ones with the most online porn viewing. In fact, Utah leads the nation. I don’t think this is a big deal, but I think it proves that most people are a at the very least, a little hypocritical. […]

The main cause of drug problems faced by Mexico is the American consumer, said the Mexican president, Felipe Calderón, who ruled out negotiations with the cartel to reduce violence.
In an interview published by Le Monde on Thursday, Calderon said that the idea of covenant is “incredibly naive and even stupid to say” because “an agreement with the crime does not solve anything. On the contrary, it has allowed him to spread like a cancer “because it benefited from” the complicity of many authorities. ”
Acknowledged that drug trafficking in his country “has had some influence in local and municipal level,” and instead of looking for who was responsible, he preferred to talk about the causes, primarily in demand for the U.S. market.
“If America were not the biggest drug market in the world, we would not have this problem,” said the head of the Mexican state, noted as an aggravating factor that the arms trade, with the peculiarity that the “overwhelming majority” of the seized Mexico had been purchased in the United States, “including material which is
President Felipe Calderón said that the drug trade also reflects a phenomenon of corruption in the United States and asked the government for greater control of Barack Obama in the sale of arms to supply the Mexican cartels.
In an interview with the French News Agency and broadcast media in Mexico, Calderon said that corruption also exists in the neighboring country to the north in the formula of the drug trade.
“Drug trafficking in the U.S. also reflects a phenomenon of corruption by American authorities. I want to know how many American officials have been brought to trial on that issue, “said the president.
Calderon admitted that the problem still persists in some security forces and local authorities.
“America has a grave responsibility,” President Calderon said, referring to the issue of drug trafficking, though he expressed confidence that his U.S. counterpart, Barack Obama, will assume “full” responsibility.
“It is not only a problem in Mexico, is a common problem that has to deal in common between the U.S. and Mexico,” said the Mexican president in the interview, held at the presidential residence of Los Pinos.
Calderon called for “a change of attitude in society and in the United States government,” and noted that the main cause of the problems associated with organized crime “is to have next our side consumer (of drugs), the world’s largest.”
The Mexican president criticized the facilities that exist in the United States to acquire weapons, and the matter demanded greater control of Washington “at least to countries where prohibited, such as Mexico.”
“The more power given to organized crime through the weapons from the United States. Since 2006 we have seized 27 thousand arms, among which there are from 500 thousand to 2 launchers grenades and even uniforms and weapons from the U.S. Army, “said Calderon.
