How come this didn't happen under George W Bush? ...................................................................................................... A chilling message from the cartels: Billboards with hanging mannequins warning cops to choose 'silver over lead' appear in Texas By MEGHAN KENEALLY 23 May 2014 dailymail.co.uk Two frightening incidents of vandalism in El Paso near the Mexican border in Texas have been interpreted as warnings from drug cartels. In both instances, a mannequin wearing a suit and tie was tied to a billboard with a noose and messages were scrawled over the placards. Local station KHOU reports that one of the signs reads 'Plata o Plombo' which translates to 'silver or lead', a threat used commonly against police officers effectively warning that if they do not accept the cartel's bribes then they will be shot. 'This symbol has historically been used by Mexican drug cartels to threaten or intimidate Mexican citizens, business owners and government officials; however, we have never experienced this in El Paso,' local police said in a press release about the vandalism. The fear now for many is that the 'warnings' shows that the drug cartels- which have not been identified by name- are willing to bring the violence from Mexican border towns into Texas. 'Maybe the problems in Juarez are coming over here,' El Paso resident Javier Padilla told KHOU. Mr Padilla and his wife Maria Ramos know the terror of drug cartels on a personal level after two relatives were murdered in the area of Juarez in 2009.

Democrats Privately Calling Obama 'Detached,' 'Flat Footed,' 'Incompetent' .............................................................................. May 25, 2014 • By DANIEL HALPER weeklystandard.com CNN's John King reports that Democrats are privately calling President Obama "detached," "flat footed," and "incompetent." "Forget for a moment that Republican outrage," said King on his CNN show this morning. "More and more Democrats in key 2014 races are calling for the president to get a spine, they say, and fire his Veterans Affairs secretary. And what more and more Democrats are saying privately is scathing, calling the president and his team detached, flat footed, even incompetent. "Maggie Haberman," said King turning to a panelist, "that's what strikes me, what democrats are saying privately in the wake of the healthcare.gov problems, they see a president who doesn't want to take command, doesn't want to act fast. Raising the competence question. Some Democrats, who believe in government, [are saying] this White House doesn't appear to have its hand on the lever." Haberman of Politico agreed, cited more examples, and added: "All of this adds up to somebody who just doesn't seem at all involved."

All three have been hospitalized, according to the report.
