The case for using the U.S military against the cartels. Thread: After the butchering of American women and children by Mexican cartels last week, it’s time for the U.S. to designate the cartels as terrorist organizations. 1/

The progressive Left is licking its chops, hoping that Republicans in the Senate will “pass something” on gun control, as McConnell has said they’ll do. The Left will repeat several lies when that debate starts. Here’s the truth: #ksleg #2A #kssen
