Remember El Chapo?
We have not heard about El Chapo for a while. He is sitting in a New York jail, probably watching “las novelas” – Mexican soap operas – on one of the Spanish channels. He may also be watching the presidential debates in Mexico and wondering why no one remembers him anymore.
We’ve always known that El Chapo was a ruthless killer of Mexican policemen and soldiers. Not surprisingly, El Chapo did a lot more, as we see in this report:
Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman may face murder charges after several former Mexican police officers accused him of killing six Americans and a DEA agent within a nine-week span in late 1984.Three former Mexican police officers told the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Los Angeles they witnessed Guzman carry out the killing spree between late 1984 and early 1985. Jorge Godoy, one of the former cops who is now under witness protection, told WFAA that Guzman took pleasure in killing people.
Very interesting, but not surprising.
According to the story, the victims were Americans on missionary work for the Jehovah’s Witnesses in Mexico. Guzmán’s group killed the men and raped the women. Allegedly, El Chapo killed them personally.
It’s interesting that El Chapo would target U.S. nationals for a couple of reasons:
1. Why give the U.S. another reason to bring you here for justice? I’ve read in the Mexican press that cartel leaders have told their executioners to avoid Americans altogether. They understand that such a move would get into the U.S. media and hurt tourism. My guess is that cartel leaders may have investments in tourist locations and do not want a drop in business.
2. Killing missionaries will not win over public opinion, as a good friend told me on the phone. In other words, missionaries are seen as good people.
We don’t know whether El Chapo knew he was killing missionaries or someone else. No matter what, he is going to have a lot of trouble defending it in his upcoming trial.

Memo to Senator Cruz
During the 2018 Texas elections campaign, we will run some posts suggesting an idea or two for Senator Cruz.
Here is one: Maybe Senator Cruz should run a Spanish TV ad asking Representative Robert O'Rourke how he voted on the abortion ban: Dems block 20-week abortion ban.
By the way, most Americans or 62% support the 20-week abortion ban!
Let's see how Mr. O'Rourke explains that to Hispanic women. He may want to check with Wendy Davis, the 2014 Democrat who used abortion to make a name for herself.

April 2007: Ethanol is a big part of the future
This is a post from April 2007:
My guess is that I will do more posts about alternative energy. The latest Iran-UK hostage crisis demonstrates the insanity of relying on Middle East oil.
Why do all of these countries matter? Because they have oil. It's as simple as that.
So let's unleash the free enterprise system.
Give capitalism a chance and we will soon see an energy "Bill Gates" in our future.

Texas AG Paxton vs DACA.
Over the next few weeks, Texas AG Paxton is spearheading an effort to overturn DACA. It is a multi-state effort.
Like many of us, AG Paxton believes that DACA was unconstitutional and created without legal authority by President Obama.
AG Paxton is not saying that the DACA recipients should be deported or not given an opportunity to stay in the US. He is simply challenging the way it was implemented.
Frankly, I like AG Paxton's chances.

The 12-20 Rangers down 10-1 early
The 12-20 Rangers down 10-1 early......here’s a number: they need to go 69-61 to finish at .500! By the way, DeShields is looking better at CF every game.— Silvio Canto, Jr. (@SCantojr) May 3, 2018
The 12-19 Rangers
The 12-19 Rangers won after blowing a 6-2 lead in the 9th but holding on to win in the 12th inning. The Rangers are young but they have a fighting spirit that will help them down the road. A win is a win and that's all I can say..........— Silvio Canto, Jr. (@SCantojr) May 2, 2018
