AOBE ENDORSES FRANKIE

  The Association of Brownsville Educators (AOBE), along with the Texas State Teachers Association (TSTA) and the National Education Association (NEA), have spoken loud and clear: "We support Frankie Olivo for Position 2 on the Brownsville Independent School District (BISD) Board of Trustees.

With hundreds of members locally and thousands of members nationally, these three powerful entities have one top priority: "We will do everything within our democracy to protect and promote our educators and their support staffs."

Olivo is facing young businessman Jaime Diez and San Benito clerk Denise Garza. When AOBE counted the votes of its members, Olivo had received 76% of the total. Diez captured second place, but Garza, who called AOBE corrupt and insisted that a higher-ed diploma wasn't important, didn't receive one vote.

"Ignorance is not rewarded by intelligent people," said a retired BISD teacher who served the district with distinction for four decades. "AOBE wants educated, young, professional and independent thinkers making decisions. It was an easy selection. Olivo is educated; Garza isn't. Olivo is young; Garza isn't; Olivo is a professional; Garza is a bureaucrat. Olivo is an independent thinker; Garza is a puppet."

When AOBE's leadership, comprised of Veronica Borrego, Micaela Escobar, Laura Rosenbaum and Elizabeth Torres, totaled the results and released the figures, El Brownsville Void Publisher Booby Witless-Cervezas threatened these four women with a "blood bath" if they didn't reverse the results because the disbarred lawyer didn't agree with them. Instead, they reported him to the Brownsville Police Department. The authorities brought Witless-Cervezas's outburst to the blogger's attention and he crawled back to his hovel like a castrated stallion who had been reduced to a filly.

"At The McHale Report, we have endorsed Olivo," said Scott Steinbeck, the blog's managing editor. "Diez has potential, but at 24 years of age, he is simply too young. Garza's claim to fame is running the concession stand for the West Brownsville Little League. Does this even qualify as a qualification? Everybody knows that she has been recruited by the special interests who want BISD Police Chief Oscar Garcia fired. She has no agenda except to take orders from the powers behind the throne.

"Olivo is finishing his Master's and has been State District Court Judge Elia Cornejo-Lopez administrative aide for years where he has received high marks for his professionalism. Once an outstanding linebacker and catcher for the Hanna Eagles, he hosts two popular podcasts, one political, the other sports. Like all young people, he has made his mistakes, but in the process he has learned valuable lessons that only the school of hard knocks can teach you and he has evolved into a role model for today's youth. It is not difficult to understand the reasons AOBE, TSTA and NEA are campaigning so arduously for him."

REMI THROWS ELECTION TO BIDEN

Cameron County Elections Administrator Remi Garza is so Democratic that he bleeds blue. But how deep is his loyalty to the party? Does he rival George Parr who provided the crucial votes from Duval County that allowed Lyndon Baines Johnson to defeat Coke Stevenson for the U.S. Senate in 1948 and pave LBJ's path to the presidency? We would hope so. He knows that Trump is a cancer who is destroying our country. He knows that a figurative civil war is taking place as a result of Trump's polarizing politics that is eviscerating this nation. He knows that Trump is the epitome of evil and as a result of his many mortal sins God is punishing the United States as if we were Sodom and Gomorrah. Granted, it won't be an easy task. Trump defeated Clinton by 800,000 votes in 2016. To be on the safe side, Garza needs to find a million votes. Cameron County went for the Democrat, 60,000 to 30,000. Garza, therefore, must find 970,000 votes. Parr only had to deliver 200 votes, but Garza isn...

GROOVIN' ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON

In history there are events that change the sequence of time, the birth of Jesus Christ the most obvious example. But in communities, nations and the world there are occurrences that will serve as a reference point in the lives of individuals. There is the before and after of the earthquake. There is the before and after of the flood.  And there is the before and after of the war. As we know from personal deaths in our own families, existence subsequently changes forever. For me there will be the Coronavirus before and after. As a baby boomer, I escaped Vietnam because the country sent white trash, ghetto blacks and barrio Mexicans to do the fighting while we middle-class white boys partied through college. If I had had the combat experience, I'm sure my perspective would be different, but I didn't. With the exception of a few passings, my life has been free of trauma. I don't take this fortunate fate lightly. I knocked on my head regularly. Coronavirus, however, has perman...

JASON MOODY SITS FOR INTERVIEW

Jason "The Jackal" Moody, the new public information officer for the Brownsville Independent School District (BISD), is well-known in political circles. He has advised scores of candidates who, in the end, have usually lost to Rodrigo Moreno's Pink Ape aspirants. At The McHale Report we prefer imaginary interviews to the real thing because they don't take much time and they are more enjoyable to pen because we have more of a penchant for fiction than we do for realism although we mix them on occasion which has made Dr. G.F. McHale-Scully, our founder, famous world-wide for creating the fictional/realism genre. Our good friend Robert Sanchez contributed an inflatable woman to the blog. We filled her with air and her dimensions were quite extraordinary. Sanchez had previously baptized her Nubia and the name seem to fit her sensuous state. We sat her in a comfortable seat. Cris Valadez, ex-County Judge Carlos Cascos' former aide, is a ventriloquist. He sounds quite s...
