Opinion
By Italo J. ZarateBrownsville Herald
In her campaign literature, Congresswoman Mayra Flores tells us that she wants for America what most Americans want, but she wants to do it with less government. I say, great! Give it a try. And let’s also make sure that fewer versions of Trump’s favorite phrase, “Duh, we’ll see what happens” are ever uttered again. Fair enough?
Mayra claims liberals in Washington attacked American energy and that’s why gas prices are so high. Mayra might know this is not true, but since lying helped Trump win the election in 2016, perhaps she thinks this strategy might help her win, too.
Could this be the reason the discontents stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021?
Fulfilling promises in politics is not an easy task. If Mayra thinks she can do it, fine, I’m with her. However, judging from the enormous amounts of money she’s spending on her campaign, it doesn’t look like it’s coming from ordinary folks with humble beginnings. More like it’s coming from pro-Trump and pro-gun dark money donors. This can make the most trusting skeptical.
Is Mayra for a government governed by dark money? Or is she for a government of the people, by the people and for the people?
Mayra should keep in mind what happened to the honorable Congresswoman, Liz Cheney. Liz dutifully defended our Constitution and staunchly stood up against a corrupt Donald Trump. She did not yield to Trump’s false claim that the election was stolen.

She refused to go along with the “big lie,” and for this the GOP made her life more difficult. She was quickly removed from her leadership position and she lost her congressional seat because of it. All this because she refused to let the GOP tarnish our cherished centuries-old democracy.
Liz Cheney is the epitome of what true Republicans used to be. She’s got more cojones than all the Republican sycophants combined. If the GOP ever wants to nominate a strong, wise woman for president, Liz is the one. They should open up their eyes and look no further.
Back to Mayra. Granted, President Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi are not Jesus Christ perfect. But with a combined 75 years of service to America, respect for their accumulated wisdom and knowledge is merited, not being accused by a rookie politician that they are wrong.
When Mayra tells us that Biden and Pelosi are wrong, the image of a cute little girl in an elementary classroom comes to mind. With one hand on her hip and the other pointing a finger at professor Albert Einstein, she says, “Sir, your E=mc2 formula and your theory of relativity are wrong. This, of course, makes me smile.

I am having fun watching her terrify all the weak ass democrats in Browntown. Finally us Latinas will have representation in DC! Viva Mayra!
She clearly doesn't know that gas prices are not dictated by Democrats. A simple youtube search can educate her that OPEC+ is the oil cartel that dictate the price of gas. What a joke.
Republicans do not surrender political ground.
Neither should Rio Grande Valley Democrats!!!
Mayra is the latest Malinche. Pobre.
The mailers and ads by Black money are making both of them look really pathetic. But then neither can control how the Black money is being raised and spent.
Hey, don't try and pass the KKK as Republican when it was the Democrats that created it. Take responsibility for some of your parties actions, as sick as they may be.
Don't believe everything you watch on youtube. A lot of the information is opinion related.
My, my RGV Latinos! So you want a Latina to finally represent you in the RGV? She is not representing you! She is not even a Republican. She is representing the QAnon conspiracy crazies that back Trump and all those weirdos, Marjorie Green, Lauren Boebert, etc. All of you need to educate what she really stands for my dear people. If this is how you think, then you are not a Republican nor a Democrat but a QAnon conspiracist also. Read what Wikipedia defines QAnon as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QAnon
Why would she be elected in the valley when you need someone that stands up for you. Which to be honest, I don't believe no one has in a long time. Conspiracist theorist are by far not the type of person you need. How about asking her questions about her beliefs. For example, does she believe in a democracy run country, if not, then does she believe in a fascist, authoritarian run country? Start there! If she cannot give you straight answers then you all have a very scary person that wants to continue representing you in you county.
Before being impressed with a Latina that you want representing you, I suggest not to smitten by the likes of her just because she is a Latina! Educate yourself! Question her beliefs and how she will help you county/country rather than destroy it!!!
Flores just went NATIONAL. Paola Ramos had an interview with her on MSNBC. Seat will be kept in November. Vicente Gonzalez is NOT a valleyite. Neither is Flores, but she claims the fields and the Republican stamp will not matter.
I think Mayra is better than the other option. Look at how poor this area has been under the democrats for a long time. Is Mayra going to solve every problem? Maybe not but we are assured that keeping the democrats will NOT solve our problems, guaranteed. Be brave, vote for change, vote for Mayra or run yourself for office and make a change. The democrats haven’t and probably won’t.

Always attacking the Latinas Juan? You look stupid. Erasimo has more credibility than you.
GOD forbid there is ever a school shooting like in UVALDE. Remember she voted against gun reform, just like all republicans. She is pictured with a big smile and an AR 15 assault weapon, "Come and Take IT" We are one crazy away from a massacre. Remember who you voted for.
MAGA MAYRA AR15 GUN ADVOCATE. REMEMBER UVALDE OUR CHILDREN'S LIVES ARE IN GRAVE DANGER WITH PEOPLE LIKE MAYRA.
EL VALLE ES DE LOS DEMOCRATS. A VOTAR MI RAZA
Have you ever taken a hard look at the vast majority of democrat “men”? Most are limp wristed and feminine. Not the kind of people you want in charge during a crisis. Look at beto. Even has a girls name, Francis. I won’t bring up the fem locals in out city government but you can figure out who I am talking about. Hell, even the writer of this blog is a tiny little pussy fem.
The Valley is poor, but do you want it POOR & ABUSED, by Republicans?
Fuck no!!!
All these comments are being done by our corrupt democracts. County Judje Eddie Trvnino and the countycommissionerssituation of the jails under his care, courthouse secuurity , and federal govermentdecision to pull out its prisoners and losing$3 million in funding.
Man builds benches for bus stops after seeing woman sitting in dirt
He needs to come to browntown but for bike trails lots of gringas sittin on the grass after riding bikes...
Medical marijuana coming to the valley "pasa la ak ruca".
Mr. Zarate,
The RGV has been run by Dems forever. Where has that gotten the Valley? Nowhere. The Valley is the sh**hole of South Texas. Give the Republicans a chance and PLEASE stop depending on the Government to live. Get to work, despegalas. No more freebies.
Democrats running scared. Sheep have to keep voting Democrats. They have no choice. As for me..I'm voting for Mayra and for Abbott in November and Trump in 2024. I do it because I love to see all the deadbeats go crazy with Trump Derangement Syndrome. There is no cure and no vaccine for it. Montoya, you seem to have a severe case of TDS. I LOVE IT.
Alabama execution called off for medical concerns
WHAT? They were going to kill him and they had medical concerns? PINCHES PENDEJOS....
Gas prices are definitely dictated by Democrats.
If Biden signaled full-throated support for US drillers to get to work — and perhaps allowed the re-starting of the Keystone XL Pipeline from Canada — global oil prices could fall sharply, the industry experts told The Post.
A Keystone reboot announcement that would bring oil from the tar sands of Canada could knock off up to $10 from the price of oil just at the stroke of a pen, even if the pipeline were years away from production.
The president, meanwhile, blamed Vladimir Putin this week as national average gas prices hit a record $4.25 in response to the US import ban.
But US firms have less incentive to produce more oil while facing heavy regulations meaning they’re more likely to leave the oil in the ground and drill in the future when prices are higher, says Benjamin Zycher of the American Enterprise Institute. He contends under the “Green New Deal” regulatory environment, the atmosphere in Washington is decidedly anti-oil.
You do know you can reject the racist comments, right? This blog is a fucking joke on so many different levels.
Love Mayra ! She stands for what the old democrats stood for !!
New name for Mayra -
MASSA FLORES.
She will do white man's bidding, total bend over.
Flores has been national for 8 months.

and very popular idiota
Pancho O'Rourke si se llama Francis.
Lez Cheney was defeated by an overwhelming majority. Mayra won without a runoff. What part of democracy don't you pochos chicanos understand?
Democrats don't have the intelligence to express themselves in an educated and civil manner without resorting to hatred and profanity.

So you are not voting for Trump because he is the best choice? You are voting for him to spite. You love to stand in a corner and watch chaos and pandemonium. You not only do this with strangers but with the ones who love you. How sad...
The valley is poor because it is run and controlled by radical democrats and has been for years.
If this blog is such a fucking joke on so many different levels as you claim, why are you making comments on it?
With so many criminals from various countries entering the United States illegally thanks to our open border policy, an AR15 is a great friend to have. That's if you know how to use it. Some of you cupcakes that are so against guns probably don't.
Juan only attacks Republicans. That's because he receives a hefty check monthly from the local democratic party. Juan, if I was told a lie, you're being robbed.
Liz Cheney Says She ‘Won’t Be A Republican’ If Trump Is Nominee In 2024

MESKINS ARE ALL RAPIST, MURDERERS AND THIEVES straight from the head racist republican party... y mayra a meskin que????
To those democrats constantly insulting Myra. A man never insults a woman period. But again, I said man. It is obvious that most of you commenting negatively hate women and are afraid of guns. I guess you all prefer boys and toys.

OMG that is how I feel about the Trump base but they add violence.
@9:47 AM
Why so much hate? You can't possibly be a Democrat because we know Democrats are not hateful and respect other people's opinions and points of view. Besides Democrats aren't brainwashed either. Right?
September 25, 2022 at 9:35 AM
