    I don't like the article because it continues to point out that Obama is not showing any recognition (even though this issue is the CIA and the Presidency Administration automatically assumes the CIA is working on it) and also criticizes Obama for taking vacation (while Bush spent almost 1 year of vacation days while Obama has only spent around 125 days)

    If any suspicious activity actually happened between ISIS and the Mexican Drug Cartels, the CIA and Mexico would have no problem working together to eliminate the threat, for it is the CIA's job, and whatever Department Mexico has to cover operations like this.

    The President's job is to pass laws, approve laws, suggest laws, be active in legislation, collect taxes, and spend those taxes on things Congress tells him/her to spend. The possibility of terrorist attacks are for other departments to handle.

    Like, the FBI, Homeland Security, the CIA, and I don't know, the US Armed Forces if it becomes big enough?

    One of the main reasons why I avoid conservative news media, is because they're incredibly bias and their snide remarks bother me. Not to mention this article is a little too dramatic and is obviously using fear and war-mongering.

    Doesn't take much of a brain to know who is in charge of what in the government.

    Here's a more trustworthy and informative cover of ISIS' possibility of entering into America via the Mexican/US Border.

    TYT is as trustworthy as that Allen West website. Trustworthy news sources do not call certain politicians "stupid" (no matter how true it really is). It's political commentary and nothing more. A source from the BBC or even CNN would be more trustworthy.

    That being said, an ISIS-Mexican Cartel alliance doesn't have enough evidence to prove its true so far. However, we should never underestimate the lengths terrorists go to harm Americans. Some Taliban insurgents profit off the illegal opium trade, so it's a real possibility that an Islamic terrorist group (not necessarily ISIS) can profit off the drug trade here.

    No, there are some politicians that are truly, legitimately stupid as a box of rocks (Louie Gohmert)

    Well, wouldn't it be convenient (for some people) if the war on terror would also be linked with the war on drug?

    I have no idea how true the relation between the two are, but I would take anything that called the alliance between terrorists and drug cartel "Axis" like a reference to the WW2 fascist nations with a lot of salt.

    True, but it should be saved for the political commentary shows. When reporting actual news, they should let those politicians views speak for themselves (and from just googling his name, he's an insult to a box of rocks).

    Lets also add Sarah Palin to the list.

    And TYT does not just give commentary. They give facts, information, and logic to the table. If they didn't quote or show video clips and solely gave commentary and nothing more, then it's not trustworthy. But they bring their info. to the table and they explain it on a logical and rational level. And sure, their people have disagreements but they debate it calmly and rationally.
