High Noon At The Border


Flash update 2-29-24. One way a blogger can tell if they are on the right track is from the comments received. I must be on the electrified center rail because some of the comments regarding this post are not approved for viewing and will never be. It seems some folks out there think WordPress and its blogs are like Facebook, Instagram, and X, where they can freely and anonymously throw their little fit full of venomous, snarky, and juvenile remarks and then trot down to Starbucks for a well-deserved woke-a- latte’. Keep them coming, kiddies, and please leave an address so I can mail you some Christmas cookies with pretty sprinkles and a participation trophy.

I hear Tex Ritter warbling, ” Do not forsake me oh my darling,” as the sheriff walks down the dusty street, about to slap leather and melt the barrel of his 44. High Noon is one of the best westerns of all time.

Texas, the border, February 29, 2024. The motorcade arrives at Eagle Pass. Governor Abbott is there, the Texas National Guard is present, and the Texas Border Patrol surrounds the throng of greeters. The black SUVs roll in. Out steps former president Donald Trump, dressed in black; a 44 hog rests in a black leather holster on each hip, and a stetson sits atop his head. The theme from High Noon plays through the PA speakers. The sheriff is in town and ready to do some business.

Brownsville, Texas, is not quite the border, but it is close. February 29, 2024. The mayor of Brownsville is present, as well as a few city council and Democrat Senators from Texas and Washington. The motorcade of black SUVs rolls up, and out steps President Biden in a blue suit, wearing Rockport sneakers; his wife Jill (not a doctor) leads him to the podium and slips a notecard in his shaky hand. In bold black letters, it reads, “ITS ALL TRUMPS FAULT, get the Republicans, kill all Christians and conservatives, burn down the mission if we want to stay alive ( Elton John, Tumbleweed Connection), and we love Mexico and Ukraine. We need money for Ukraine so our beloved criminal immigrants can vote for me. I’m honored to be here at the Alamo, I love Davey Crockett.” The blonde grifter leads him from the stage to the presidential SUV. The media day is over.

Well, it could happen this way.

    2. Nancy, I assume you are referring to our prez? I am a geriatric guy, and yes, I lost all my filters about five years ago, I’m apt to say anything that might offend everyone within my vocal range, that’s why Momo keeps me out of Lowes and Home Depot, they have my picture posted in all departments. She hasn’t figured out a way to censor my laptop…yet.

  5. You must be doing something right Phil. I’m just amazed on how some can get offended by anything…if it offends them that bad…they need to leave…and not show their ignorance.

    1. Right, Max. I don’t agree with everything I read on some blogs, but I don’t say anything negative to the writer, that’s not what blogs are for. Silence is golden..golden..as the Tremelo’s said.

  6. Brownsville only sees a trickle of illegal immigrants coming across the border. Eagle Pass is like a floodgate that receives the blessing of the Mexican cartels. You can tell who is serious about the border by who went where.

  7. I was catching up on your blog and if this is the post that offended people, I don’t get it, why. But, I believe in what Governor Abbott is trying to do so maybe I don’t get the mindset. My family was descended from immigrants on both sides but they came here legally and wanted to be Americans.
