from the audio –
“Mayor Margo, as a businessman you are leading the charge to tear it down and begin building the obscene monument to fiscal stupidity and wholesale historical malpractice on behalf of your wealthy downtown property owning friends.”
Peter Svarzbein and his daft trolley
Peter Svarzbein...you want to make El Pasoans happy?
MOVE WESTERN PLAYLAND back to ASCARATE PARK.
I guarantee that will have greater impact with Quality of Life in El Paso than your costly resurrection of the El Paso Trolleys.
I get it, Western Playland and Lakeside El Paso just aren’t cool enough to bother with and attach your name to.
Call me a naysaying, backwards, anti-progress El Pasoan but progress isn’t always measured by how much City projects set back the taxpayer...

Michael “Lock Her Up” Flynn finds God
Michael Flynn has found religion.
Call it Flynn’s come to Jesus moment.
The typical 9th-hour conversion that lawbreakers experience when they find themselves in over their heads.
The biggest prize in Mueller’s Russia investigation has just copped to lying to the FBI and Pandora’s Box is seeing a sliver of daylight...
Read MoreCondensed 3-minute “Chupacabra Historians” video
Rather than give El Paso mayor Dee Margo and City Council my usual 3-minute speech, I produced and presented to them a 3-minute video that exposed the immature attempt by the mayor to create hostility between amateur historian Fred Morales and degreed historians Drs. David Romo, Yolanda Leyva and Max Grossman, over Barrio Duranguito historical heritage. A vain ploy to undermine the historical value of the Union Plaza neighborhood so they can place the sports arena and erase El Paso history, architecture and culture.
Full-length unedited video follows on this blog.

Mayor Dee Margo and City Manager Tommy Gonzalez “On The Move” Pep Rally
This is my response to mayor Margo and city manager Gonzalez’s spin-infected column titled El Paso on the Move in last week’s Times. (note: originally intended as one of my “3 minutes with Mayor Dee Margo and City Council” presentations at City Hall).
A prime example of our city leaders using the El Paso Times as a propaganda platform allowing them to spread half-truths and misinformation designed to confuse El Pasoans regarding local issues...

Giving til it hurts
Mayor asks us to GIVE while all the City does is TAKE.
Give generously on El Paso Giving Day but never forget that our current mayor and city council will find ways to tax us into oblivion.
Carnage and cowardice
MASS SHOOTINGS followed by THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS followed by NRA TALKING POINTS followed by NOTHING followed by the NEXT MASS SHOOTING.
That is the unmistakeable trend in America these unfortunate and bloody days.
It’s an endless loop of carnage and cowardice, with a slaughter of innocents regularly sacrificed at the altar of gun rights. The NRA is the bloodthirsty Republican god requiring lives to satisfy it’s lust for power, greed and money...
