Coming Sunday in As It Stands–Get out of Afghanistan, There’s a War Next Door!

The U.S. State Department reported 80 Americans killed thus far this year by Mexican Drug Cartels. That’s already more than last year.

Two were fatally shot near the Zaragoza international bridge in one incident. In separate incidents, two other U.S. citizen suffered fatal shooting wounds in Ciudad Juarez.”
