ELIZONDO CAN'T FACE FATE

 We knew Carlos Elizondo back in the day when he would gather with Rigo Bocanegra, Jorge Lerma and the rest of the vatos to drink, talk about women and shoot the shit in general. But something happened on his way to the Fat Farm. He not only lost weight, but he lost himself.

The skinny Elizondo, with his ascension to Brownsville Fire Chief and election to the Brownsville Independent School District Board of Trustees, could no longer support his fat head on his scrawny body.

He became arrogant and despotic. The good ol' boy had disappeared with the pounds. We can only conclude that the plump Carlos was hiding the real Carlos, a bully who tried to intimidate others because he believed he was an untouchable and above the law. A product from the other side of the river, it's called the Matamoros mentality.

And, inevitably for the arrogant, there was the fall from grace. The city terminated him as fire chief. Faced with multiple felonies, he graced the front pages of The Brownsville Herald with his many court appearances. He sought reelection to the BISD board and finished in last place. 

But you can step on cockroaches, You can grind cockroaches into the ground with your shoes. You can smash cockroaches, You can pulverize cockroaches, but they retreat into the darkness and wait for that moment when they are once again blinded by the light.

La cucaracha, la cucaracha, ya no puede caminar porque no tiene, porque le falta marijuana para fumar.

The cockroach is back except he has metamorphosed into a vulture and has joined the fraudulent flock of Erasmo Castro and Viro Cardenas, known throughout the Third World Capital of the United States as Los Tres Buitres. They have returned to pick our bones as a slimy slate in their quest to control the BISD Board of Trustees.

Elizondo, like Trump, talks out of both sides of his beak. He appears on Castro's propaganda podcast and coos that he is going to help the educators financially, but nobody has forgotten at the fire department that he cost his former colleagues thousands once they became his underlings because a bootlicker only use his tongue to shine the shoes of his superiors.

One of his many critics, who will not be voting for any of Los Tres Buitres and is predicting that they are going to get plucked good come November 3, said: "He asked for trouble and he got it. All I can say is his only bet is to keep going to church and  pretend everything will be 'ok' because it won't. Elizondo is full of corruption. You heard all the bad words when he secretly recorded ex-City Commissioner Cesar De Leon. He needs to man up and accept the consequences of a public that doesn't want him anywhere near their children, particularly if he is in the company of Erasmo."
