Mexican President Taps Hernán Cortés to Top National Guard Post in 2024 – Because Mexico
Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum is truly a first in many ways. Not only she is my country’s first female president, but she is also the first with a Jewish background. But to make things even more interesting, this week she appointed a new interim commander to take over the country’s increasingly powerful Guardia Nacional.
His name? Hernán Cortés, of course, because Mexico is magical and I hope it will stay this way.

There Is a Bar in Guerrero Called Barackawama, Because Mexico
From the always popular “Mexicans: How can anybody not like us?” series, I give you Barackawama, a real bar in the unassuming town of Iguala de la Independencia, Guerrero.
This jewel even caters to lovers of Bud Light’s Lime-a-Ritas and features some awesome artwork on its walls.

The Mexican meme machine never stops working, and this blogger is thankful for it.
JD Vance Once Asked: “Are you a Racist? Do you Hate Mexicans?” Hilarity Ensued
A coupole of years ago, when J.D. Vance was running for Senate, he released an advertisement asking Ohio voters if they were racists and/or if they “hate Mexicans.”

Soon after making its debut across social media, the 30-second spot had amassed more than 300,000 views on Twitter. And this blogger is pretty sure it had to do with Mexicans like herself jumpin in to troll him like only Mexicans can.
Below, some of my fave reactions (starting with yours truly, of course!)

Ahí Va Romina, Repartiendo Caramelos Desde el Cielo
If this song is not about her, I don’t know what is…
Romina viaja tierna y nuevade campo a estrellay va subiendo por las teclasdel piano, escalera.
Romina se ha escapado lejostras de un conejo blancoy aunque sabe que la esperanse va jugando.
Romina lleva caramelosque arroja del cieloy cuando llega el aguaceroson dulces los sueños.
Para Romina entre los astroses un jardín el espacioy mientras viva la alegríasu día es largo.
Romina si tuvieras tiempopiensa en mí.
Romina desde que estás lejosno es sencillo ningún juegode los que aprendípara vivir.
Romina canta cuando bajadel monte a algún ríoy cuando llega la mañanalos ojos le miro.
Para Romina una guitarraresonará por siempremientras viva la esperanza
Romina vuelve.
Romina duerme cuando nochemecida en la lunay desde allá nos reconocenos mira sin duda.
Si cuando el sol que da un domingopromete un bello díaserá seguro que contigoRomina ría.

Luis Miguel Now Peddling Healthcare to Latinos, Because Marketing
In the latest chapter of Bizarre Marketing Endorsements, Luis Miguel (aka El Sol de México) has partnered with Alignment HealthPlan in an effort to celebrate a “commitment to vitality and wellness at every age,” because, as President & CEO Dawn Maroney says:
Together, we’re not just changing how you experience health care; we’re celebrating you. Welcome to a new era of aging.
I don’t know about you, but this thing leaves me feeling like 100 years old, especially when the last LuisMi-endorsed commercial I remember is when this hottie used to look like this:

Life and Tacos Go with “Todo” Change my Mind…
Was walking around La Roma this afternoon and bumped into the perfect slogan which gave me some joy after a not-so-great Saturday in the city.
Life & tacos van con todo is my new motto…

Move Over, Pan de Muerto; Here Comes the Conchatrina
The Mexicans have done it again, my friends.
Not content with bringing us the Conchanclas, the Conchamacos and the Conchatépetl, Mexican bakers are at it again.
Meet the Conchatrina, a special Day of the Dead-themed concha that mixes our beloved pan de muerto with the now world-famous Mexican skulls known as catrinas.
The chef’s name if Alfonso Domínguez and he runs a bakery in Tetelpa, Morelos, and I cannot wait to get there!

This Bear Loves Enchiladas -and you Shouldn’t Mess with it
A black bear terrorized a mom and her son when he leapt on their picnic table and started going after their tacos, French fries and enchiladas.
Per The Associated Press:
Silvia Macías of Mexico City had traveled to the Chipinque Park in the northern city of Monterrey to celebrate the 15th birthday of her son, Santiago, who has Down syndrome.
Soon after they sat down to eat the food they brought, the bear showed up and gulped down french fries, enchiladas, tacos and – of course- plenty of salsa.
I would have totally panicked -and not only for losing my enchiladas.
Here’s a video shot by Macias friend, Angela Chapa, that has since gone viral.
