Hunt and the Flag
Something has been bothering me about the Canutillo flag debacle and Hunt’s involvement in it. At first, I wasn’t able to pinpoint exactly what was bothering me about it.

The Only Truth that Matters: Hunt Doesn’t Want Red, White and Blue in His El Paso
As an immigrant I have learned that there are three things that define the United States: the red, white and blue, apple pie and the Super Bowl. Two of those are central to today’s events, and possibly in some households, apple pie, the third item on my list. Because of that, today I’m posting a […]
