CAN MAYRA FLORES' POLITICAL CAREER SURVIVE GRUBGATE?

 The Great Guyanese Grub Grab: A tale of culinary misappropriation.

By Michelle H. Davis

LoneStarLeft's Newsletter


Congressional Candidate Mayra Flores and her kin gathered around a warm fire on New Year’s Eve in South Texas. They used a cast-iron skillet to cook their food on an open flame. Flores exclaimed, “La vida Ranchero en familia es lo mejor.” Life on the Ranch with family is the best. Then she posted this picture to social media:
What are they eating, you ask? Are those street tacos? No. Actually, you’re looking at a popular Guyanese dish, Mutton (sheep) Stew and Flatbread.

In fact, this yummy meal wasn’t from Flores’s family ranch; it wasn’t even from America. As Twitter user Ben Anderson discovered, the picture Mayra Flores used on New Year’s Eve, claiming it was a family meal on her family ranch, was a STOLEN picture from the Guyanese Facebook Page, Visit Guyana

And in 2024, Mayra Flores finally learned about reverse-image search.
When Flores was called out on her photo-stealing shenanigans, did she recant? Did she apologize? Did she blame it on an intern?
Nope.
She panicked. First, she changed her name on Twitter from @MayraFlores_TX to @MayraFlores4Tx. Then, she locked her Twitter account and put the whole thing private.

She deleted the tweet about the yummy Guyanese food and blocked everyone who tagged her or mentioned it. (Including yours truly.)
It’s rumored that in the past 24-hours, Flores has blocked hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of Texans all curious about her family’s Ranch meal recipe. This story quickly changed from her stealing a picture from the Visit Guyana Facebook page to her fragility in handling dissent.

It’s hard to call Mayra Flores the biggest liar of 2024 since we’re only on day two.

She makes it clear that she’s willing to lie, just for the sake of lying. She is lying because she can. This was a ridiculous lie. Maybe Republicans’ lives are just one giant, continuous cycle of lies and deceitful behavior.

As the dust settles on what could be the most sizzling scandal since Watergate turned up the heat in the political kitchen, Mayra Flores might find herself stewing in a pot of her own making. While she hasn’t been cooking up policies, she’s been roasting her credibility over an open flame of internet infamy.

As for that secret family ranch recipe? Well, it seems the only thing she’s managed to concoct successfully is a recipe for disaster—served hot and fresh to her followers. One thing is sure: if politics doesn’t pan out, Flores might have a future in culinary arts.

So, here’s to the political chefs of the world: may your dishes be authentic and your photos your own. Bon appétit.

Where it reads "Mayra Flores might find...open flame of internet infamy" is right! She doesn't need anybody to make her look bad, she can do that all by herself...with her "mandilon y mantenido" by her side.

If she were my wife and I caught her posting that rubbish le meto unas cachetadas gujolotonas. The people who still believe and eat her shit are very ignorant. Her children are going to need a lot of mental therapy.

At the end of the day she thought "to hell with transparency, they can all see my lies. If I block them, it's like closing my eyes, they can't see me."

Handlers she needs handlers.

Lying is a disease, or maybe a state of mind or even perhaps a way of life. Whatever it is , it can control a persons life and sometimes even ruin it. But for some in the political arena, it can become a weapon. GEORGE SANTOS ,perfect example. He lied exponentially all the way to Congress only to be booted out later ( pending criminal cases in court) . And it seems Mayra ( whatever last name she wants to use) is following the same pattern. Unfortunately for her, she’s to stupid and her campaign people are failing to capitalize on their “lying strategy “. Instead of learning from her mistakes she keeps sticking her foot in her mouth nonstop. Quick story: i had an uncle who was well liked but had the ugly habit of lying. We all loved him and was the life of the party. He had a kind heart and was always willing to lend a hand. BUT, we could never really believe anything that came out of his mouth. So for that huge reason we couldn’t rely or depend on him for important matters. We couldn’t trust him to speak for the family on any subject. His CREDIBILITY was shot and it plagued him all his life. So the moral of this story, we may like a person very much but if that person has no credibility then that person is unreliable, untrustworthy and whats worse a LIABILITY !! So keep up the “good work “ Mayra, you seem to be digging your own grave with so much DECEIT.

Y tu , el esposo mandilón, jalale la rienda a tu vieja que está poniendo a tu familia en vergüenza. Ah pero se me olvidaba, si hace eso se acaba el DINERO $$$$. Muertos de hambre, mentirosos, pura gente falsa.

What’s missing from your xmas card Mayra? Where are the ranch hands that work for you? Pictures of the barn, the horses, cattle and any other “ranch animals “ ? We want to see more pictures of Rancho La Mentirosa. Maybe you can set up some tours and the lucky visitors can savor your ranch delicacies ( gorditas, the stew, pan de campo, barbacoa etc). C’mon Mayra don’t be pinche, we all want to see/feel what its like to live” the ranch life” like you and your mandilón husband live. After that you may want to wake up from your fantasy/make-believe world and stop lying your way through life.

Who cares if she posted some carne from the internet. It's the thought that counts. I post Internet pictures all the time of steaks or cookout that aren't mine to get the point across. Give me a break. Sensoring and negative propaganda for a pictures.

She was at central library giving out pictures of tortillas she claimed she made and the packages were stamped with HEB logos.
She had a big sign with, "Next week I will be giving carne asada (fotos) and I will cook it for ya al' ".

Myra means "sweet-smelling oil" (cooking oil).

Myra was invented in the seventeenth century by a poet called Pancho Pistolas as a short form of Margarita--or perhaps an anagram of Juana Maria-- and it quickly caught on with other borrachos and street bums, particularly popular with the Meskins. There were leading characters named Myra in Josefo's novel Babbosse and in Theodoro Chanclas's A Ranchero's Tragedy. Later it was the name of the central character in Pepito's 1968 Myra Mentiras, and plays a minor role in the La Verguenz, trilogy.

Myra was as high as Number 1,589,000 in the 1880s list of non popular girl's names. A notable namesake is the great borracho, Dame Myra Mentiras a frequent of la catorce bars.

Because a fake food picture is so important that someone had to take time to do a reverse search and others to write about it, forget about the millions of immigrants costing billions to support, and country in debt up to its ears, and all of the real issues we face as a nation! No, let’s just post about food! Lmao!

I agree with you but the copyright laws of the USA are killing us.

Who cares if we get pictures from others and we do not cite the sources or give credit...that is dumb.

Who established the copyright laws? Now we have to go and get our own pictures...it is so unfair.

If Mayra Flores is elected, will she get rid of the copyright laws?

To you racist democrats. Why are you all so fearful of Myra? You guys are probably even afraid of your own shadows. The people will decide who they will vote for. No need for hateful and ignorant comments.

This is about a woman who is a pretender. She is not a contender and unfortunately she is trying to manipulate and impress the uneducated impressionable voters. No! What she is doing is not right. The problem with the youngsters of today is that they settle for the mediocre.

My father who was born in 1926 would have said "Esta vieja esta loca. Es puro pato. Se pehen en el agua y se bebe sus gorgoritos. Que se vaya a chingar su madre." Nobody was poking the eyes of the older generation. Like someone stated this is a sign of her mental health. She is not right in the head.

Yes, we have an immigrant problem but this article is not about that. Es mas..call or write to our elected officials with your concerns. Posting about the immigrant problem in El Rrun Rrun is not the solution.
