Admittedly, bad news sells better than good news. People would rather read about a corrupt cop than they would “Sally’s bake sale to benefit vets.”
When FBI agents raided Mar-a-Lago, they (allegedly) disabled cameras to prevent the Trump team from being able to witness the gathering and treatment of evidence.
When Donald Trump was first arrested, he put his mug shot on T-shirts and sold them far and wide.
Two weeks ago, I wrote an opinion column (Observations, front page, April 24) about the 20-year sentence handed down by Federal Judge Micaela Alvarez to former Precinct 1 Hidalgo County Commissioner A.C. Cuellar, and I mentioned that in my humble opinion, I thought the sentence was unjust, especially given the fact that Cuellar was 69 when sentenced. By the time he finishes his prison sentence, followed by 10 years stuck in the parole system, he’ll be about 97 when all is said and done.
I don’t know about you, but I miss the Killer Bees, the RGV’s own minor league hockey team that used to play at the old State Farm Arena (later renamed multiple times) between 2003 and 2012. Hockey is fun to watch on TV to some degree, but more fun in person.
