Bravo! Claudia Sheinbaaum! Today, my beautiful Mexico wakes up with a new dawn full of hopes in all our hearts. Today, we put our hearts and our faith in your hands for a better Mexico. Today, we celebrate your triumph with you! For the first time in history and more than 200 years, we have had a woman as a leader. May all the Gods take care of you and protect you always!

What I don't understand they say she's Mexico's first female president and she has Jewish heritage. Everybody who says that they are Jewish but can't prove it with their DNA are recognized as being Jews. But black people who have Jewish DNA are never considered Jews why is that they make it illegal for anyone to take a DNA test in Israel to prove their Jewish Heritage and if you do so it's illegal for you to show anybody because it may jeopardize their so-called Jewish state. But but when black people take DNA tests and it states that they are Jewish that's not recognized. SMH

Maybe she'll do a good job for the people of Mexico. Eradicate crime and create jobs for fair pay. That's if the cartel's don't get to her 1st.

I don’t believe in any president anymore

[sergiochavez]

None of that is possible without first getting rid of the cartels.
