A Mexican NGO called the Consejo Ciudadano para la Seguridad Pública y Justicia Penal, A.C. (Citizen Council for Public Security and Penal Justice), whose president is Jose Antonio Ortega Sanchez, released a list of the world’s 50 cities with the highest homicide rates in 2016.

In order to be on the list, the city must have at least 300,000 inhabitants.  The ranking is based on homicide rates calculated per 100,000 inhabitants.  (Cities in war zones are not included in the ranking.)

Of the 50 most murderous cities, 42 were in Latin America and 47 (all but three) were in the Western Hemisphere.  There were eight Mexican, and four American, cities on the list.

On March 4th, 2017, my 17-year old  son David and I attended a Trump support rally (See Attending A Trump Support Rally–It Was Fun, There Were Demonstrators And They Had Interesting Signs ).

Well, on March 25th, 2017,  there was another one at the same location, in front of our state capitol.  David and I went again, along with my other son Raphael (14) and my niece Ginger (17), also an avid Trumpster.

It was fun, although with fewer people there.  It was colder.   Just  as before,  seeing the crowd and meeting people was the high point.

We met a pro-Trump Mexican-born lady there, brandishing a   sign that said “Dios Bendiga U.S.A.” (God bless the U.S.A.)  She was talking about how her mother (a U.S. citizen) watches Univision and is now afraid the  government is going to take away her citizenship.  Well, what do you expect after a steady diet of Univision?

There were a few protesters at the previous rally, but at this one there was only one, a high school student bearing a “Love Trumps Hate” sign.  It wasn’t entirely clear  what sort of  love was supposed to trump what sort of hate, and in what way.   But, the protester wasn’t mistreated, wasn’t treated badly, nor did people seem to mind his presence.  One of the speakers  publicly recognized the protester and expressed admiration for his showing up.  Photo- David, Ginger and Raphael Wall at Trump Rally – with Love Trumps Hate Guy

Here’s an article on the rally, with a video.  My sons and niece appear right near the beginning, brandishing Trump signs.  My niece was interviewed at the rally and excerpts of her interview appear three times.   At other times thoughout the short video, my sons and very briefly, yours truly, are visible.

It was fun. And, my son David made a tidy profit selling Trump hats he’d purchased online.  David Wall, Trump Rally March 25

Mexico has a presidential election scheduled for 2018.   The prospective candidate who is ahead in the polls is Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who was the runner-up in the past two presidential elections.  This time AMLO might win.

AMLO has recently been delivering speeches in the United States, to defend Mexican illegal aliens and make alliances within the U.S. political system.

An aquatic animal known as the vaquita, which only exists in one small area of Mexico, is on the verge of extinction.  In fact, it may be down to about thirty individuals or less.

Can it still be saved?

Something historic is afoot across the pond, as, for the first time ever, a member state of the European Union is withdrawing from the European Union.

It came in the form of a letter sent from UK Prime Minister Theresa May, which was  hand delivered  by diplomat Sir Tim Barrow  to  European Council President Donald Tusk (not Donald Trump) in Brussels.

It’s the Article 50 process – withdrawal from the EU.
