My hair is long, unkept
My shoes scuffed, and dull
And missing one
And missing all...
And where have Lupe,
Beka,
Larry,
And Carlitos
Gone?
They've all gone,
Coughing,
Wheezing,
To die alone...
Beka,
With her deft, sure fingers
And sharpened shears
Snipping stray hairs
Sure, precise
Without a fear
And Carlitos,
A vet,
And late-blooming bon vivant
Buying rounds for all
At Ernie's Sportsman's Bar
At the beginning
Of every month
Lupe, who kept
His shine box
Under wraps
In a reusable HEB sack
From cops and barkeeps
To shine a pair,
And tilt a cold one back
My hair is long, unkempt
My shoes scuffed, and dull
And missing one
And missing all...
Like Beka, Lupe,
Carlitos and all...
Like Lorenzo (Larry)
The telephone guy..
and other sisters
And other brothers...
They've all gone,
Coughing,
Wheezing,
To die alone...

How we know that Da Blimp's readership is down - He has NO COMMENTS, and hasn't had any for weeks!
Plus, that ridiculous praise for UTEP, his alma madre, blew up on his face. UTEP is a third-tier school!
Vato inutil!
No one lives forever
Enjoy your time on Earth
Choose to pull your own social lever
Walk about, talk it out, leave a little mirth
Life is good
Life is good
Life is good.
Trump wanted to send Stimulus checks only to white people.
Republicans should police their own, then we can talk unity.
QAnon is supported by Republicans.
MAGA has always really been Make Whites Great Again.
- NO UNITY. Biden won.

"Trump only wanted to send stimulus checks only to white people."
Do you really believe this? Where do get your information from? You're being lied to and you don't even know it.
Stay ignorant my friend!!!
Republicans need to punish/censure/expel Marjorie Taylor Greene, the crazed congresswoman from Georgia. She's flaming emotions fueling the Far-Right, QAnon mobs.
NO UNITY! Biden won.
Covid-19 is an airborne virus. It is always all-around you, circling the globe until it is wiped out. It can get you or not get you. Luck is as important as a mask.
But it does not seek you out, individually.
And in the case of many, it is often their own fault. Why are you alive, Montoya, while all those you mourn in poetry are dead? Perhaps they should have been more attentive, careful and discretionary when seeking a beer or dinner in public.
I am not mourning the dead. Many of them had full lives. God calls you when he wants to call you, for a reason of his choosing. He's not being weepy when he jots down his list for the day's casualties.
He's rejoicing in knowing he gave them LIFE in the first place.....

El Paso Walmart Shooting Survivor Deported While Helping Investigators: Attorney
The woman was in the process of obtaining a special visa, because of her help as a witness to the 2019 shooting.
The mass resignations of all five of Trump's lawyers show us something has gone terribly wrong on the defense team. And these lawyers were no hacks -- several of them are Justice Department alums, and the (former) lead attorney, Butch Bowers, was a government ethics specialist. They would not abandon a client this close to trial without darn good reason.
Any defense attorney holds a broad obligation to represent his or her client zealously. That's a crucial part of our adversarial justice system. But there are limits on what a defense attorney can argue. For example, per the American Bar Association, it would be unethical for any attorney to raise an argument "that he knows to be false." The "rigged election" narrative certainly fits that description.
It's telling that the source of the falling-out between Trump and his (former) lawyers was his insistence that they raise the "stolen election" defense.
Texas was scheduled to get more than 520,000 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine this week
But not the valley only the elected officials get vaccines to sell or to give to their family and friends and to get votes. That's what you voted for so they can line their pockets and their arms...
My heart weeps for us all, those who have left,
those of us bereft.
Those of us who still hate no matter each other's fate,
or even our own fate as long as we hate.
Is this then how we are to end? Not in an A-Bomb Flash? Not in a Blaze of Glory, as in long-told stories?
Brought down by a relative piece of nothing, a piece of something in a Bat's gut? from a pot somewhere in a Chinaman's hut?
Are we now going to suffer Humpty Dumpty's demise, as America has fallen and cracked open under everyone's eyes? and all of Trump's Elephants and Men and Biden's Donkeys and Men cannot put America back together again will the hatred ever die?
Or will it live on and snuff out every last bit of Freedom and Decency and Humanity on this planet? Quoth the Covid? Nevermore.
"Hispanic students made up 80 percent of UTEP’s enrollment in 2017, the year on which the rankings were based. Of the 25,078 students who enrolled at UTEP that year, 20,108 were Hispanic." BV Jan. 31
Simple facts: (1) UTEP enrollment has a high percentage of Hispanic students because it is a regional border University. (2) Recruitment of Rio Grande Valley Hispanic students by UTEP has never been a high priority. (3) The ranking of UTEP among the major Universities in this country is in the lowest tier.

Trump’s Sleight of Hand: Shouting Fraud, Pocketing Donors’ Cash for Future
With breathless, often misleading appeals, the former president promised small donors that he was using the money to fight the election results, but in fact stored much of it for future use.
Since the culmination of the Republican Party’s dream of a ruling class oligarchy was exposed in the clear light of day on Jan. 6, registered Republicans across the country have been pulling their names off of the party’s register. According to multiple news outlets, thousands of voters in numerous states have changed their GOP affiliations for any other identifier but the Republican Party.
Almost 10,000 voters “dropped out of the Republican Party in the first 25 days of the year,” from Pennsylvania’s rolls. In North Carolina, in the two weeks after the Jan. 6 insurrection on our country’s Capitol building was televised and streamed around the world, “59% of 10,766 changes to voter registration came from Republicans re-registering as unaffiliated.” According to the News Observer, that’s 5,855 lost voters for the GOP compared to the Democratic Party losing 210 voters at the same time. And those are only two of the states with fleeing former Republicans to report.

To 7:16, the only good thing in your comment is a cleanup of all trash. Why don't we start by cleaning up our alleys, streets and downtown Brownsville instead of cleaning up Boca Chica Beach.
Vaccinations and medicines should be distributed equitably, but the neediest are seldom at the front of the line. Every state and every health-care provider has protocols that supposedly direct the first coronavirus vaccines to the people who need them most. Communities are moving down their list at different speeds and in different orders, but the definition of who goes next is being interpreted broadly.
- Shot voucher ABUSER County Commissioner Joey Lopez should resign!
What do you expect from a third world country run state? Freebies, fraud, unethical judicial system, favoritism, greed and stupidity are what runs your so called local government. Before, you low life Texans go out and call out the Big Boys from Washington about how the United States is Run, you need to clean your asses with comet or a harsh cleanser, because you stink.

"Why don't we" And the only good thing in your comment is that YOU are volunteering? I don't think so.
