About politics and worse

A Mineralogy professor declared: “When I say that lead is a poisonous, heavy and smelly metal, I am not insulting lead: I am describing it.” Well, when I say that Claudia Sheinbaum shares the arrogance and arrogance of Lopez Obrador I’m not insulting you either: I’m simply saying how it is. Having stated that the June 2 election It is just a procedure that must be followed before occupying the Presidency, it is a demonstration of arrogance similar to those made every morning by the person who designated her as his corcholata. Millions of Mexicans will go to the polls next Sunday to vote against the perpetuation of this regime that has divided Mexico, has violated its laws and violated its institutions, and has divided the country between the armed forces of organized crime and the Government Armed Forces. disorganized, has squandered taxpayers’ money on works of very high cost and dubious usefulness and has set the Republic back in all areas, mainly those of security, health and education. Mere processing the upcoming election? Is not a democratic exercise, perhaps the last one in which we will participate if the official candidate reaches the position that, unfortunately for us, is now occupied by a man who has been characterized by his inefficiency, his lies, his ability to offend vast sectors of the citizenry and his reprehensible complacency and leniency in the face of who have made vast portions of the national territory a preserve of their property. When has this country seen thousands of candidates give up their aspirations for fear of losing their lives at the hands of crime? Those who are still clouded by the overwhelming official propaganda still have time to reconsider and realize something that is not a slogan of partisan politics, but a call for all of us together to save our common home: a vote for Morena is a vote against Mexico.

In church a guy didn’t beat his chest. When he prayed the “I am a sinner” by saying: “Because of my fault, because of my fault, because of my grave fault,” he hit his crotch. He explained: “Everyone must hit themselves in the part where they have sinned the most.” (A popular saying, true like almost all popular sayings, severely rebukes believers who, forgetful of God, turn their eyes to him only when they are in need or trouble. The saying goes: “You beat yourself up.” chest only when you choke”). Little Cain covered his front with a tree leaf that reached to the ground. He said between his teeth, angry: “I’m tired of being dressed in the clothes my dad leaves behind.” (I will say in passing that the evils committed by men are very explainable; their crimes, wars. It happens that we do not come from Abel the good, who was unable to beget children, but from Cain the bad, his murderer, who had numerous descendants. , of which all humans are a part. We are not surprised then that there have been evil people like Hitler and others of the same ilk. Good men and women, of which there are fortunately in abundance, are good because they manage to corner themselves in the background. themselves to the Cain that we all have inside. But I notice with alarm that I am preaching. The devil turned into a preacher. honeymoon in Niagara Falls. A friend asked her: “What did you think of the falls?” She responded: “They were one of the two things that weren’t as big as I thought.” END.

I exclaim with great fervor

so abundant in tricks:
“Praise the Lord!”.

On the road that leads from Ábrego to Purísima the wind raises spirals of dust that rise to a cloudless sky scorched by a merciless sun.
The ancients thought that these whirlpools were the devil, and they called them Cachiripa. To ward them off, they made a child split the air with a machete, so that the devil would be scared to see that there was still something in the world that belonged to God.
It doesn’t rain in Ábrego. It does not rain. The Moorish cow, which has a calf, and the mare they name Gringa because she is white and has blue eyes look at me when I pass as if asking me why I don’t make it rain. For those creatures I am God, just as for us God is God.
I walk away quickly because I don’t know what to say to them. The mountain is burning; There is no water on the ranch; It had never been so hot here. But on the way I ask my God what the cow and the mare ask theirs:
-Why don’t you make it rain?

See you tomorrow!…
