Viva Mexico?

Sprigs advocates physical revolution

By Stephen L. Wilmeth

            When was the last time 94% of the United States Senate voted for anything?

            There is no doubt something in the archives might indicate such favor among the upper chamber thinkers, but it certainly doesn’t reverberate across the landscape as anything obvious. They can’t agree on much. In fact, they can’t even come out of the shadows and agree to pay themselves what they think they are worth. Apparently, they are only embarrassed about how that would look on the basis of what they are getting done.

They wouldn’t tell the truth anyway. You can only imagine the outcome. If they were each marched to the microphone and told to tell the truth and nothing but the truth so help their most demanding contributor, they would cross their fingers, clear their throats, and start pontificating.

The result wouldn’t be scientific. It would be corrupted. A more quantitative approach would be better, but there isn’t a known algorithm to actually compute what they are worth. If there was, they wouldn’t agree to apply it, and certainly not 94% of them.

            After all, when the spinner rolled to a stop, it would be awkward to note that the outcome might be zero or even negative.

            Viva Mexico?

            The Mexican Senate, however, voted 114 to four (with three abstentions) to ratify the USMCA, the trade deal to replace NAFTA. That’s pretty impressive especially when the wide range of those politicos are arrayed. They have nine political parties represented in the Mexican Senate unlike the two and a half represented within our U.S. crew. The fact is the Mexicans got serious when our President suggested to bésame el trasero and walk from the existing treaty.

            It is a clear indicator there is one thing the Mexicans do understand and that is when a real jeffe orders drinks you’d better drink and dispense with lingering allegiance to any superfluous nonsense.

            It appears to be the same case with the about face on that country’s stance on policing its southern border after our President threatened tariffs if they didn’t get the lead out and do something about discouraging the hordes of cross border invaders. Their actions and the indicators now seem to suggest that Texans and Arizonans won’t have to assume their eminent constitutional discretion from Article 1, Section 10 [3] of the Constitution to refrain (from war) unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.

            Of course, New Mexico and California would not dare defend their sovereign citizenry in the same manner. Their credo is come one and come all! Comrades unite. Our homes are your homes and our lines may be long but the gettin’ is still good!

Those states believe in sharing the taxpayer wealth and treasury with presumptively loyal voters.

Something does seem to be happening, though, in even the most liberal bastions of leadership where the cross-border invasion is not a coffee shop discussion but continuing back yard experience. Take Del Rio, Texas for an example.

An openly gay mayor, Bruno Lozano, is at the helm of the border city of 40,000 and he isn’t happy about the invasion. Known as Ralphy to his friends and High Heels to some of his political foes (it seems the town’s highest office holder has a propensity to wear high heels on such occasions as Veteran Day Parades and quinceaňera styled high school 15 year reunions), the mayor is furious about the United States congress sitting on its duff in the matter of the border assault.

Originally intending to educate northerners that the border is not a war zone, he is now attempting to defend it from becoming a larger threat and transit zone for migrants from all over the world. Like every border town, Del Rio simply cannot drain its limited resources on expanding services. Located dead center in the fastest growing smuggling corridor, something has to give, and it’s no longer correct thinking cowboys that have the corner on such a conclusion.

Lozano is saying “Enough is enough!” He is demanding federal action and recently made his position clearly known to Texas Senator John Cornyn’s staff. Word is that he ripped ‘em a new one.

Well, good for High Heels. Who would have thought that the Mexican Senate and a Queer news devoté would have taken positive action on the border before our dysfunctional United States Congress!

Sprigs advocates physical revolution

            Joe Biden, currently the front-runner for the Democratic nomination, made remarks at the recent Moral Action Congress of the Poor People’s Campaign that sounded like open revolution. Asked how he would deal with congress and the Senate’s Mitch McConnell specifically, his words were clearl and to the point.

            “There are certain things where it just takes brass knuckle fight,” Biden said. “Let’s start a real physical revolution if you’re talking about it.”

            Can any of us imagine the reaction of the press and the liberal world if our president, Donald Trump, had made that comment? “Physical revolution” cannot be interpreted any way other than the obvious. Trump would have been crucified, and any and all impeachment talk and momentum would have accelerated. Biden has been given a pass and any need to walk the comment back from backlash would be done as a condition of subservience from the press.

            But, the fact is revealed. The truth is no longer silent or implicit. The front-runner for the Democratic nomination for president of these United States has advocated physical revolution. It is without doubt shared by his handlers and his advocates.

            It is also made manifest in his party’s actions in obstruction of every action taken by this President. The border problem is the dominant issue of our day. Even the Mexican senate understands.

            Biden may get his wish.
