REDISTRICTING 101: HOW GOP IS MAKING SOUTH TEXAS RED

"One of the more tense moments came during debate on an amendment by state Rep. J.M. Lozano, R-Kingsville, that reworks districts in the Rio Grande Valley to make House District 37 more competitive for Republicans. State Rep. Alex Dominguez, the Brownsville Democrat who currently represents that district, panned Lozano over the proposed change, arguing that the delegation had not been notified before he filed the amendment.

Lozano’s amendment was adopted narrowly, 72-70, with several members switching their votes once a verification vote had been requested." The Texas Tribune

Conservative Latinos who can think for themselves are making South Texas Red, not Republicans. The rest of you Hispanics who are slaves on the democrat plantation need to start thinking for themselves also. Honestly ask yourselves what the democrat thieves have done for you?
Take a long look at your city and county leadership and you will see.

Conniving Republicans may try, but the Valley is a stubborn region. Mexicans may take a taste, but the Republican Party sees Mexicans as mongrels.

fact.

Let the Dems get control of the Texas Legislature and watch them do the same thing in reverse. This is Politics 101.

If Republican Steve Bannon Defies the January 6 Committee's Subpoena, He Should Be in Handcuffs

He has no claim to executive privilege whatsoever, and Congress must assert itself.

I ordered a club sandwich, but I'm not even a member. "I like my sandwiches with three pieces of bread."
"Well, so do I!"
"Then let's form a club."
"OK, but we need some more stipulations. Instead of cutting the sandwich once, let's cut it again. Yes, four triangles, arranged in a circle, and in the middle we will dump chips."
"How do you feel about frilly toothpicks?"
"I'm for 'em!"
"Well, this club is formed."

"Mejia and Neece had no clear-cut answer for that except to show me the artist's conception above of the "medical center" Solaris plans for that block.
Clearly, Solaris' description in their grant request was misleading at best, claiming the funds were needed to "activate the upper floors or basement that are currently vacant to host a new commercial business or housing."




A vacant lot has no "upper floor or basement," but we agree it was/is "vacant."

Awardees are expected to put up a 20% match as well as show sufficient financial solvency to complete the entire project.

Mejia, in response to my request, furnished me with the 2020 numbers, showing total BCIC income from their 1/4 cent share of sales tax receipts as well as other grants, plus their total overhead, including salaries, rent, maintenance, and the debt service to and maintenance of the Sports Park, a burden placed upon them by the City Commission.

The South Texas red surge is being led by strong intelligent LATINAS! How long are you going to let democrats ruin your life? Conservatives stand and fight for your freedom while you do nothing as your rights are taken away daily. Just because your grandparents and parents were democrats does not make you one. Your Latino blood is red not blue. Don’t be fooled by bullshit lies by BETO. What did he do for you?

Negative, backward socialist Democrats are making South Texas red.

14 11:07. Excellent point. I love watching the demorats destroy themselves. The moderate demorats who I use to vote for have turned their sinking ship party over to a bunch of radical socialist children. Now they are regretting it. This proud HISPANIC is voting conservative now.

Failed Democratic Politics are turning the Valley Red. If you would have followed Biden's political career, instead of voting against Trump (because Orange man bad), the US would not be in the sorry state it is in. The Valley was turning RED way before this.
