The whole damned Congress is in it with El Burrito.
The Border has never been safer nor more secure!
Is the old theater still there? The one with the pipe organ?
I was there in ‘68.

You think mayor Cook’s stupid enough to play golf in a thunderstorm?
If the bullets that hit City Hall came from 2 or more locations in Juarez (or El Paso) then the City Hall was a “specific target”.
You make it sound like the U.S. hasn’t committed acts of war on Mexico.

Are you talking about the Plaza? It is still there, and in use. They are doing a big fundraiser right now to raise money to repair/restore it. I haven’t been to it but my daughter was telling me about it.
“You make it sound like the U.S. hasnt committed acts of war on Mexico.”
You make it sound as if I should care. That’s their country, this one is mine.
I was there while stationed at Fort Bliss for Advanced Infantry Training (Nike Herc Missile radarman).
We saw a double feature. During the intermission, a wonderful organist, seated on its bench, rose up from below the stage and started playing old favorites, including “The Yellow Rose of Texas”.
Brass organ pipes lined the theater and each one sang out it’s note. It was glorious, and, as you can see, unforgettable.
I have wished, for many years, to take my wife there, to share that memory.
Thank you for your response. Hope the theater is fully restored, for she was a beautiful lady.
I pray that the owners will invest in this legacy, and not the public, for there are too many people, now, that trade on other’s memories and money, instead of investing their own hearts and funds.

The restoration is supposed to be a joint project with the city but they have been busy raising money so at least they are trying not to just use all taxpayer money. I hope you do get a chance to go back and take your wife to see it.
If the organ and the pipes are gone, it ain’t the same. It’s just background.
The organ is there! It was sold and carted off years ago but a lady bought it and brought it back to the theatre. I guess she loved it too.
Let's call it what it is. State-sponsored terrorism.On this side of the border it's violations of the RICO Act. In Mexico and Honduras it's state-sponsored terrorism.
What else would you call heavily arming international criminal syndicates within a foreign country wherein that country is in a death struggle with those syndicates?
Especially when it goes beyond thousands of assault rifles to include grenades, RPGs, shoulder fired rockets, anti-aircraft guns, night vision equipment, body armor and special deals to bring their drugs onto our soil with legal impunity?
Not to mention the just-revealed news that the rip crew that killed BP Agent Brian Terry was there with DEA and FBI assistance and approval to attack and kill a rival cartel's smuggling crew.
Let's not leave out the FBI and DEA laundering millions of dollars for the drug cartels by setting up bank accounts for them that they otherwise couldn't do.
It's organized, it is spread through every Federal LEA and it violates numerous domestic laws and numerous statutes and treaties that deal with foreign nations. Yet none of it has been officially sanctioned. It's the FedGov acting like mafiosa.
0bama, Holder and Hillary Clinton are all deeply involved in this and it is state-sponsored terrorism. These Chicago machine Marxist thugs are dragging our country down to the level of Tehran and Pyongyang.
