TIJUANA
As a result of the pandemic, Tijuana’s libraries are closed to the public; however, employees have been working virtually, and they occasionally visit the sites. But on Friday, employees at the Benito Juárez public library, in Zona Río, were startled when other government employees arrived to evict them. The order, they said, came from Baja California Gov. Jaime Bonilla, and they were told to haul everything away in cardboard boxes.
That same day, Bonilla told Tijuana media that the city’s central library would be moved to another currently unused building, the former post office in the downtown area.

Almost 5 million people in northern Mexico were affected by a major power outage on Monday morning due to an interruption in the natural gas supply caused by cold weather.
President López Obrador said the blackout affected about 400,000 people in parts of Nuevo León, Coahuila, Tamaulipas and Chihuahua, including Saltillo, Reynosa, Matamoros, Nuevo Laredo, Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua city, Cuauhtémoc and Delicias.
However, Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) distribution director Guillermo Nevárez Elizondo later said 4.7 million people were affected by the outages in the north of the country.
Cuban Communists: Add Rodent Meat ‘to the Family Dinner Table’
24 Dec 2020
A government television broadcast in Cuba this week urged citizens to eat guinea pig and other rodents, suggesting rodent meat is more nutritious and “sustainable” than pork or beef, Cuban outlets reported on Wednesday.
The Communist Party has presided over major food shortages in Cuba for decades, beginning almost immediately following the Cuban Revolution in 1959. In recent years, the Castro regime has blamed President Donald Trump for extensive food shortages and failed distribution of government-mandated rations. While the Trump administration has imposed significant sanctions on the regime in response to the increased frequency of human rights violations against pro-democracy dissidents in the Obama era, these sanctions have targeted elite individuals and military-linked corporations, not sources of food for the general population.
