    Eat goat tacos to help the Chicago Cubs post season (video)

    by

    goattacosIn Chicago, baseball fans love their loser Cubs.  Some say the Cubs’ bad luck is the result of the 1945 Curse of the Billy Goat that has thwarted the home team’s dreams. Now a local bar is urging patrons to fill up on goat tacos before going to Wrigley Field to defeat the evil curse. Is this witchcraft or wishful thinking?

    Dear President Donald Trump: Confessions of an Anchor Baby

    Dear President Donald Trump:

    Now that you’ve become our new emperor, I mean, the 45th President of the United States, I have a confession: I’m an “anchor baby.” Given that you represent the best white hope to “Make America Great Again!” I’m confessing in exchange to be pardoned for my birthright citizenship crime.

    Honestly, I didn’t know that being born to Mexican immigrants on work visas violated the law or that pesky little thing called the 14th Amendment of the Constitution. If I would’ve known of your novel interpretation of our Constitution, I mean your Constitution, I would’ve pleaded in my mother’s womb to be aborted.

    Oh, I forgot, Republicans don’t believe in abortions. Does the GOP make exceptions for brown fetuses?

    Latina Heritage Month Patriot Alert: Obama’s Iran Deal Disrespects You

    by

    feypalinYou don’t lift sanctions.

    You crack down on their assets.

    You cut off their oil and drill, baby, drill for our own.

    We don’t retreat. We reload against any foe daring to test us.

    And that is what Iran just did.

    So, Congress, you got to kill the deal. The president is playing you. He so disrespects you, Congress, and our Constitution, that he won’t even bring you the treaty.

    Emilio Estefan: ‘Todos Somos Mexicanos’ (video, lyrics, credits)

    by

    estefanWe at POCHO have been around so long we remember when even Mexicans didn’t want to be Mexican. (We think that was just about two weeks ago.)

    But Miami-based Cuban-American Emilio Estefan and his friends are all Mexicans now, at least in a music video.

    By the way, we at POCHO also remember when Emilio Estefan threatened to sue the L.A. Weekly because of a “Mexiled” column that Lalo Alcaraz wrote portraying Estefan as the Fidel Castro of the Latin Grammys. Oh, but that was so long ago…

    Let’s all be Mexican instead! Mexican, tu sabes, is the new black.

    Montebello lines up to beat Donald Trump piñatas (video)

    powertrumpTacos Don Chente in Montebello, CA was juan cool place to hang out Wednesday as Power 106’s morning show host J Cruz raised hell at a Donald Trump piñata-bashing party. And free tacos.

    Mexican Independence Celebrations often are more fiesta than political bashes in the United Estates, but this year is different. Cruz and his crew set up a terrific fiesta. Now if we can only get La Raza to vote with their ballots, and not just with their colorful frilly piñata sticks…
