Why Is Brownsville So Easily Victimized by Con Artists, Charlatans?

Before Google, before various forms of people search, Brownsville seemed to many like the end of the world.  I met people in the 60's who came to the city to reinvent themselves, to run from some embarrassment and make some sort of life. Brownsville can be accommodating like that, just as those who move across the river from the south are tolerated and facilitated.

Some of that "live and let live" easygoingness has to factor into our community's yielding to outsiders who tell us they know what's best for Brownsville, for BISD, for us.  I'm not advocating regional bias or rejection of the opinion of experts from elsewhere, but just saying that if you don't live here, have kids being educated here, don't vote here, what exactly is your stake in trying so hard to influence our community?

Turning things around a bit, is the community you actually live in perfect, without problems that need to be addressed, lacking good candidates that need to be supported?  Why aren't you committing your energies, your comments, your influence into helping your own community?  Perhaps, the reason is that you're known there and not respected or you're a tiny fish in a big pond but long to be a bigger fish in a small pond.

Or maybe it's just easier here and the money's good.  I'm just asking.

  1. Jim,

    Erasma claims to be a resident of Brownsville ande a student in Austin. I checked the records. He hasn't voted in any recent election in Brownsville.

  3. why do you guys care? Erasmo there seems to have stirred the pot a couple of times for the better of our community. Moreover, he was raised here, no? Has three sisters and a mom here, right? Where are you from? Who made you grand pooh-bah. this blog post sucks. Where's the beef?

  5. Cheezme fooled many people.

    While I initially felt sorry for candidates like Jared hockema who gave nearly 1000 dollars to cheezmeh, ultimately, Hockema was clueless. Who wants a clueless idiot in office?

    anyone who has followed the cheezmeh group for any length of time knows that the major players all left the group over a year ago. Politicians are asked for money and promised all kinds of magic vote turnout bullshit from web designers, "consultants", alleged movers and shakers, pollsters, politiqueras, newspapers and TV ad agencies, and so on. The good pols know who is in, who is out. Who's carries real votes, who doesn't.

    The hallmark of a clueless, unsuccessful political wannabe is a dumbass who allows their hard earned campaign donations to be wasted on fake promises from the myriad charlatans, "consultants" and Brownsville cheezmeh's of the world. Notice how few of the top voted-for candidates in the runoff gave money to Cheezme. But the losers who didn't make a run-off all fell for it!

    1. Jared Hockema getting involved with Cheezmeh was surprise. He seemed to have a better understanding than that. He looked like one sad young man at the Cheezmeh watch party primary night.

      Now, it appears Denise Blanchard is being Cheezmeh'd. I thought she had professional handlers who could see through that shit, but at a meet and greet, the first thing I see is she and Linda Castro posing for a pic by her campaign manager. Someone must be talking a good game. lol

    2. Re professional handlers.... She must have run out of money even to pay the objective consults who would warn against such a move. A sign of absolute desperation, is when a candidate turns to Cheezmea. Dumping money in Spanish sing song radio ads is more productive.

    3. Hockema can go back to block walking for 'Mando' like he did last time he ran.

  7. There is alot of $$ flowing around for the BISD coming elections. Bottom line is nothing would change for the poor children, or the hard working teachers...

  8. Denise is desparate to win and is building alliances with whoever she can. Partnering with the Cheez people is a mistake.

  9. Juan Montoya, in his blog about SpaceX calls the citizens of Brownsville "rubes"....maybe that is why we get screwed by so many "snake oil salesmen"....our corrupt politicians, the politiqueras, et al. Obviously we are just an ignorant, gullible group of people.

  10. Remember when you were the hot shot high school senior pitting your skills mano-a-mano against those of a 2nd grader? No? well either way welcome to Brownsville.

    If you were even moderately successful in New York, California, Austin, Houston or anywhere else in the USA, chances are you will hit one massive home run success after another here in Brownsville

    The politicians are dumb, entrenched, and well, dumb. (Ask Blake Farenthold, a nobody from Corpus now a United States Congressman in Washington DC, thanks to us)

    The people are indios and fat, but crave and admire anglo beauty thanks to TV, McDonald's and the mexican magazines. Even your average height, average intelligence, average Anglo is a super hot commodity here in Brownsville (Troani)

    Ability to write a coherent sentence sets you apart from 90% of the rest of Bville.

    If you were even moderately smart in school, you will be top honors scholarship material at UTB.

    Yes. too easy.
    Yes, too lazy.

    1. f....in HARVARD?? u must have hit the lottery to send urself or ur family members there and they have a 4.0 GPA...baby u hitting the wrong side of the upstate UNIVERSITIES..u probably barely graduated from High School much less a trade school, TSC or any other University...and since when did Troani become an Anglo? His name is that of an Italian and perhaps a half breed...like the majority of us WORLDWIDE...might I add :)

  11. How Crazy is this Erasmo Castro doesn't even vote here? How did he go from being a watchdog to endorsing candidates? He takes their money and still tells people to vote for them because they are the best choice (according to him). The only reason they are supporting Erin Hernadez is for Linda which is Erasmos sister and her family to get the NOTARY Busines. All the wedding and death certificate. All cash and no taxes paid to the IRS.Another Scam in the making. They are supporting Carlos Masso so he could Clean Erasmo Felony Forgery Convictions and Hot Check Convictions. Rumor has it he has a few Warrants out for his Arrest in Brownsville,TX and that is why he didn't vote and doesn't come down to Brownsville, TX. How did he choose them by the amount of money they paid him and his tranvestite sister? The more the money they gave him the more qualified they became. It goes to show you that Brownsville Cheezmeh, his sister Linda and the Kool Aid Cult Drinkers are only in it for the money, favors and not for Brownsville,TX. Anybody they Endorse or Advertise on their Page will LOOSE!!!! It is as simple as that.

  14. Cheezmeh is plainly and simply worthless. A worthless entity that intended to destroy the cruel political elements we consistently experience in Brownsville and the valley yet it's become a big part of the problem. All it does now is cater to these corrupt individuals E.H, C.M, etc. Money is all it takes to make them you're biggest advocates. My definition I think that defines the group as political pro********. Fill in the blank yourself. Cheezmeh plainly and simply is ruining our community more.
