That cloud looks like that Musk Foundation pulling the rest of their commitment of funds to downtown Brownsville. Juan, with very little effort should write on this subject. Money given thus far, has produced negligible effect. Money given was hoarded and misallocated. The foundation simply asked for tangible results and the city/city manager/mayor were too busy taking publicity photos for phantom results. New rules regarding what business interests downtown may apply for permits, new rules for dilapidated building regarding fire sprinkler systems.Infrastructure for city underground water main which are unreachable to most businesses. City expects businesses to incur outrageous fees to accomplish outdated infrastructure. City incompetence/lack of correct people in certain positions and ego-- throw out new roadblocks every change they can. Finally powerwashing streets today after years of neglect. With stuck gum/ect. you need hot powerwash not cold. Guess what they're using... Musk people very aware of what Mayor Topo Gigio and his minions did to purchase Coca Cola Bldg. and fed up along with everyone else. Hire competent outside people to run this city is the solution...which will never happen. Control of mediocrity is preferred to loss of control and competitive advantage. The once in a generation opportunity was granted and squandered. Greed, Avarice, and just plain stupid people. One percent of this population will get this, the rest will clap back with common local patter.
Its the traffic, 20 cars on each line waiting for the red light, King Louie the first was referring to red lights on highway 61...bd
Beautiful shot. I am ready to get out of here anytime.
Wish HE would come soon and get us out of these misery
down here. The only fun is reading some of the comments

The tragedy, at first, seemed a familiar one in the ragged brushlands of South Texas. Border Patrol agents late last week spotted a badly decomposing body in a patch of trees on a ranch in Brooks County, about an hour north of McAllen and the Mexican border, The tragedy, at first, seemed a familiar one in the ragged brushlands of South Texas.

After Breitbart and Newsweek reported on the incident, Joaquin Castro, the congressman from San Antonio, took notice. He tweeted last weekend: “This appears to be a lynching of a Mexican man in South Texas. I will request an FBI investigation if one has not commenced.” Castro, who appears to be the only high-profile official to acknowledge the incident thus far, also called for politicians to stop using rhetoric describing migrants as “invading” the country.
This year, Governor Greg Abbott and Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick have framed the arrival of thousands of migrants from Central America and Mexico in exactly that way—as an invasion.
As law enforcement determines exactly what happened to the man found dangling from the tree, echoes of the past are sounding again. Given the imprecision of reporting over time, and the intentional whitewashing of history, it’s impossible to know the exact number of lynchings that have taken place in Texas, but they have occurred since the days of the Republic of Texas. Some historians estimate there have been over seven hundred lynchings in the state—and perhaps countless more—with hundreds targeting Mexicans or Texans of Mexican heritage.
Blame COB .

In 1910, a posse hunted down a migrant vaquero named Antonio Rodriguez, accusing him of shooting a rancher at her home in Rocksprings, 140 miles west of San Antonio. He was put in a local jail that was swarmed by a mob that tortured him and set him on fire. Governor Thomas Campbell neglected to act, at first, until he received marching orders from Washington to launch investigations and keep Mexican officials in Texas safe. A year after Rodriguez was lynched, a group of white men came for Antonio Gómez, a fourteen-year-old from a migrant family in Milam County, seventy miles northeast of Austin. Within three hours of being accused of murdering a local man, he was abducted, dragged by a chain, and strung up on a ladder leaning against a telephone pole.
The killings of Rodriguez and Gómez signaled the dawn of what some historians call the “Hora de Sangre,” or the Hour of Blood: a period, spanning into the 1920s, when hundreds of migrants and others of Mexican ethnicity were brutalized or killed. In a one-year span, from 1915 to 1916, three hundred Mexicans and Mexican Americans were murdered in Texas, some researchers estimate.
The scalding language from politicians in the period no doubt stoked anti-migrant sentiments, which helped to serve their careers. In 1919, Congressman Claude Benton Hudspeth of El Paso said there were “bandits” waiting to cross the border and that “you have got to kill those Mexicans when you find them.” Congressman John Box of Jacksonville went to the House floor in 1928 to talk about the “illiterate, unclean, peonized masses moving this way from Mexico” who must “be stopped at the border” because of their “unsanitary habits” and “vices.” John Nance Garner, Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s vice president and arguably the most influential Texas politician of the early twentieth century, spoke of Mexican migrants as inferior to U.S. citizens.
Texas Rangers accused fifteen Texans of Mexican heritage—including two boys—of raiding a ranch. The Rangers lined them up and shot them in Porvenir, a small border community 170 miles southeast of El Paso. The executions conducted by state police were set against the backdrop of the roiling upheavals in Mexico, and the belief that bloody revolution was going to be spilling across the border. Reports sent to Austin by the Rangers and local ranchers suggested that those murdered in Porvenir were “thieves, informers, spies, and murderers” and that justice had been served.
Such killings have become less common, of course, but they persist. In 1998, a Black vacuum-cleaner salesman named James Byrd was shackled by white supremacists to a pickup truck and dragged for three miles down a bumpy lane in Jasper County, in southeast Texas—until his head was severed. His executioners continued down the road to a Black church and then tossed Byrd’s mangled torso in front of it.
For months now, state leaders have doubled down on demonizing the latest surge of migrants. “Carnage is being caused by the people coming across the border,” Abbott said in June. “Homes are being invaded. Neighborhoods are dangerous, and people are being threatened on a daily basis with guns.” This rhetoric may play well with a significant slice of Republican primary voters. But it also risks incitement and, through the state’s history, it has had deadly consequences. texas monthly

The gallows on which Rodgers (a soldier), Garza, Vicente Garcia, & Vela were hanged at Brownsville, Texas in 1866
Creator: Unknown
Date: 1866
Part Of: Lawrence T. Jones III Texas photography collection
Description: The earliest known photograph of an execution in Texas was taken in Brownsville, Texas on June 22, 1866 by either Louis de Planque or R.H. Wallis. This view shows, from left to right, Vicente Garcia, Juan Vela and Florencio Garza standing on the gallows trap door just seconds before it was sprung. A large and unruly crowd attended the execution and mounted U.S. cavalryman, called upon to help maintain order, can be seen in the far background behind the gallows. Although other photographs of this event were taken, this single image is the only known original that is extant.
