/DP-M ENDORSES DANIELLA

 With disgraced Erasmo "El Chetos" Castro falling further and further behind young CEO Daniella Lopez-Valdez in the latest South Texas Independent Journalist Association (STIJA) poll, we at The McHale Report can't say The Brownsville Republic's endorsement of the business woman for Position 5 on the Brownsville Independent School District (BISD) Board of Trustees is a shocker. Her impressive 56% to 44% lead over her erratic adversary in the wake of the survey is comparable to the huge advantage that Joe Biden holds over Donald Trump.

"Brownsville schools need Erasmo Castro like they need bad teachers," said the blog's publisher.

"We suspect that Mrs. Lopez-Valdez, who is 29, would manage the learning curve without much trouble. Want-to, is the key, however. And we’re on record as saying that something about this candidacy strikes us as it being a 'steppingstone' to another political post after a single term. Her father is former BISD Trustee and current Cameron County Commissioner Joey Lopez.
"Still, as they say in pro baseball, when the Ace is on the mend and all you have is a hungry rookie and an aging warhorse to put on the mound, well, the odds are better when you go with The Kid.
"With some reservation, The Republic nonetheless endorses Daniella Lopez-Valdez in this race. The alternative is a very, very possible nightmare, and who wants that?"
Describing Castro as a nightmare is a compliment for someone who had to resign from the board for a DWI, whose own colleagues voted to prohibit him from appearing on school facilites and district extracurricular activities and who recently call his foe a "dog" in the same manner of another man going mad--Trump.
Echoing our sentiments at The McHale Report, the veteran journalist voices his disgust with Castro whose penchant for taking selfies with young boys whenever he descended unexpectedly on a BISD school caused tremendous consternation among district administrators, particularly as parents raged against this behavior.
"He’s the annoying fly in the dining room, the candidate who won a BISD Trustee seat two years ago and then resigned it following a much-publicized DWI arrest, " /DP-M succinctly opined before adding later in his endorsement.
"Mr. Castro, a playful, rarely-serious personality sort at the mature age of 52, has shown himself to be more interested in Mr. Castro than in much else. His playground behavior during his two years as a BISD trustee was marked by childish, public horseplay and disturbing unannounced appearances at BISD campuses, something that always puzzled administrators.
"He’s a used tire at this point, is our feeling, after losing campaigns for Cameron County Democratic Party chairman, for mayor and for the schoolboard in a previous election."
At The McHale Report we pride ourselves on our insightful prose, but in this instance we have to applaud our longtime ally as he pounds the last nail in Castro's coffin.

RIBERT E, LEE

With the City having disposed of Jefferson Davis and the BISD wrestling with the fate of slaveholder and traitor Charles Stillman, Brownsville's treacherous founder after whom the school district has named a campus, Texas Southmost College is moving to remove the designation of the Robert E. Lee Youth Center located in the Jacob Brown complex. "The board listened to a Zoom presentation by an individual who insisted that Robert E. Lee's name should be removed from the junior college because associating a traitor with higher education was a disservice to the latter," said a former Brownsville Herald columnist. "Apparently, his appeal has found sympathy with TSC Trustee Dr. Tony Zavaleta, a respected historian and renown writer. He has asked TSC President Jesus Roberto Rodriguez to put the item on the next agenda and consider the imminent removal of Lee's name, a traitor who refused command of the Union armies so he could lead the Confederacy and the rebels'...

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...

NICKNAMES

  he McHale Report's managing editor Scott Steinbeck was working at his desk in historic downtown when Max Maxwell, dean of the RGV sportswriters, approached him. "Don't you like Jason Moody, the BISD's new public information officer?" asked Maxwell. "He's neither here nor there for me. He seems like a pleasant enough fellow to me. Why?" "How did 'The Jackal' occur to you as a nickname?" "It's always fun to welcome a new face with a nickname. It makes him or her nervous because they lose sleep trying to ascertain the implications of being branded." "Then why 'The Jackal' for Moody?" "I have a predilection for alliteration and Jason and Jackal seemed to flow. I was thinking on the fly. Why. Do you have something better?" "It fits within your alliteration style. Call him Jason 'La Monarca' Moody." "I can go with that. Any particular reason on your part of that designatio...
