CORTINA CALLS OUT BROWNSVILLE FOES 160 YEARS AGO

Originally published in the New Orleans Picayune Nov 7, 1859
Villanueva, Oct 26, 1859

Dear Sir: I say to you that having been informed that the Town of Brownsville is fortifying itself to fight against me, I tell you that I do not wish to fight against the town, because of the many persons who are faultless—such as your house, that of D. Alejandro, that of Dr. Pablo, and other individual houses, such as that of D. Venceslaus Vega.

Do me the favor to acquaint all these persons and Mr. Powers (our Mayor) and Mr. James Brown (the Sheriff) that I do not wish to molest the town. 

I hope you may answer me, because I am about to march upon the town, since I have now got sufficient force and artillery to batter down the houses; and not being desirous of doing so, I desire from you the three or four persons by whom I have been
aggrieved—such as Mr. Adolpe Glaveck, the squinting Sheriff (the Marshal), and some other persons who have difficulties with me.

Do me the favor, and with you all the persons whom I have named, to make this letter known to them, that they may drive those men and cite me to their field of battle I await your answer in order to act as it suits me.

No more. Your servant, who places himself at your orders.
Juan Nepomuceno Cortinas

Trump says daughter Ivanka has created 14 million jobs: Again this daughter-lusting orange buffoon offers no evidence that besides stripping, his daughter has ever created a single job. Maybe she needs to stop being daddy's little fluffer and go and wipe Trumps DNA off her face.

Leave Judge Salazar alone she does no harm to no one she is a hard working women and is trying her best to get reelected I am sure if you all were in her shoes you would be doing the same. It is a shame that all people do is criticize her not nice she's human and also has a right to do whatever the hell she wants. What about the other candidates running against her dig in I am sure they have a lot of skeletons in their closets.

Wrong article for comments for Salazar, but the one at 4:45 is incorrect.
She does not have the right to do whatever she wants when is an elected official who should do what is right, not what she wants. I guess she is trying to emulate the worthless president we have or should I say dictator?
Congress, get your act together and get rid of that sorry excuse for a man.
