I just had a delicious meal at Bill Millers. I am happy to report I had to wait in line as usual but the food and delicious tea more than made up for it. The icing on the cake though was I heard on the radio on the way home that Castro will have a Republican opponent for his House seat.

The words "Bill Millers" and "delicious"...shouldn't be used in th same sentence. IMO.

It doesn’t matter. He’s in a highly safe and coveted district. That’s why he is able to say ANYTHING that he wants because his actions appeal to his voting base. No different than Trump being able to shoot and kill someone on 5th Avenue and STILL be elected.

You can’t tell the difference between a murderer and a politician you don’t like. It’s because you want it to be like that even though it isn’t.

This is BS. A large part of the people Castro posted on social media were elderly retirees. They now have a target on their backs where any whack job idiot could go after them. I get it, it's public record but Castro literally tried to shame and intimidate them and that's just wrong. He also put our local businesses at risk where literally THOUSANDS of minorities work. No matter how you slice it, he was wrong and San Antonians have long memories. Joaquin did NOT do his brother any favors and for Julian to defend this despicable act says a lot about him.


I'm glad it has backfired on both of them. Bill Miller has very mediocre BBQ but the one up the street from me has been packed ever since they were targeted and I say GOOD FOR THEM. The donors they tried to publicly shame that also donated to them won't be donating to them again, GOOD FOR THEM. Julian should just give it up because he doesn't have a chance at the White House and Joaquin will be booted out of his seat as well.

In this instance? Its damn near impossible to 'doxx' someone via publicly available information. I mean, ffs, i can find out who anyone is by their license plate. websites like publicdata.com exist for a reason.

its not 'doxxing' when the information is publicly available.

any last name ending in ES or EZ is a bastardized version of the 'correct' spanish last name.

example: chavez > chavo.

All this means is that people related to you were here a while ago. It does not give credence to you being 'more texan' than someone else.
