GARZA 9-18

 THE BROWNSVILLE HERALD: "Texas’ highest criminal appellate court declined to hear a petition for discretionary review in the case of John Chambers, former chief of the Indian Lake Police Department, who sought to have 14 misdemeanor counts of tampering with governmental records reversed. The petition was the second filed at the Court of Criminal Appeals (CCA) by Chambers. It was published on Tuesday under a section listing petitions for review the court has chosen not to re-litigate. Chambers was convicted in January 2016 on 14 counts of tampering with governmental records, all state jail felonies. The former chief appealed those convictions at the 13th Court of Appeals, which affirmed the 103rd District Court of Cameron County’s judgment in May 2017. In August 2017, Chambers appealed his convictions at CCA, which found that evidence was insufficient to show that Chambers ordered a subordinate officer to falsify firearms qualification records with intent to defraud or harm the state. The case was remanded to the 13th Court, which reversed the convictions, sending the case back to the trial court for a new punishment hearing. He faces up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $4,000 on each count. Chambers again appealed to CCA in June, seeking to potentially have those misdemeanors reviewed and reversed."

(EDITOR'S NOTE: The state didn't have to send Sheriff Conrado Cantu to jail until he took office. If Republican reactionary and Trump apostle John Chambers pulled an upset and defeated Democrat Eric Garza for Cameron County Sheriff, the state might have to send Chambers to jail before he took office. With every candidate seemingly campaigning in pink jumpsuits in the Dance of the Flamingos, Chambers, the rather overweight ballerina, is back in court once again defending himself against 14 misdemeanors--a dramatic improvement over the time when he was defending himself against 14 felonies--as he has spent the last four year mired in legal proceedings because of his shenanigans. He was such a bad candidate four years ago that his own Republicans kicked him off the ballot. Like his partisan Trump, Chambers is implementing a strategy that is based on negatives. Maybe he should look at himself in the mirror and perhaps he would have a more profound sense of the word negatives. His brand of dirty politics isn't resonating when he is so dirty himself. Chambers has no platform. He speaks an English that must have been learned in Mississippi or Alabama. He is not in physical shape. He has never met the bar as a leader. The Brownsville Herald doesn't endorse any candidates because it wants to clip all the participants for ads, but when the dying daily recognizes out of guilt that the newspaper does have a small responsibility to the community, articles like the Herald's latest scurrilous piece on Chambers is a direct and unequivocal message: Chambers is unfit for the job!)

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...
