Mexican in Congress: Release Epstein Files!

(Secular Talk) Pres. Trump panics as SECRET Epstein emails PROVE he’s GUILTY!

Rep. Adelita Grijalva (Democratic congresswoman) speaks out on Epstein Files and more after finally being sworn in 7 weeks late after Speaker Mike Johnson purposely delayed her to block her vote to RELEASE Epstein File and hold sexual predator Trump accountable.

Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva

Adelita S. Grijalva (born 1970) is a Mexican American member of Congress who has served as the U.S. representative for Arizona's 7th congressional district since Nov. 2025. A member of the Democratic Party, she previously served as a member of the Pima County Board of Supervisors for District 5 from 2021 to 2025 and on the Tucson Unified School District Governing Board from 2002 to 2022. She is the daughter of former U.S. representative Raúl Grijalva, who represented the district from 2003 until his death in 2025. More

Jeff did it. I just watched. I mean, I never knew!

The first suit over the alleged rapes [child molestations of child under 14 by Trump and Epstein] was filed in federal court in Riverside, California, in April by someone acting without an attorney and using the name “Katie Johnson.” That suit named both Trump and Epstein as defendants, alleging that the two men held Johnson as a “sex slave” and repeatedly forced her to engage in sexual acts against her will.

Hispanic Heritage Month: Art Laboe radio

National Hispanic Heritage Month continues until the middle of October, as we approach Halloween, Samhain, and El Dia de Los Muertos (The Day of the Dead). Many Southland Latinos fondly remember Armenian AM DJ Art Laboe.

National Hispanic Heritage Month (Spanish Mes nacional de la herencia hispana) is annually observed from September 15 to October 15 in the United States for recognizing the contributions and influence of Hispanic culture to the nation's achievements, culture, and history [1][2].

Mexican Independence Day: El Grito

(eastla-parade.com)

Hispanic Heritage Month begins today (Sept. 15th). How is it celebrated? As with most Mexican things, delicious food is involved. Unable to stop the British Empire's intrusion west, Mexico fought a war to expel Spain (France and other European occupiers) during the Mexican War of Independence. It was ultimately successful not on Cinco de Mayo (which was just a successful battle against French forces expelling them from Puebla, near the largest pyramid in the world in Cholula).

In a year that has been challenging for the Mexican American (Chicano) community in L.A., it’s a great opportunity to get out and celebrate all that makes East Los Angeles and LA's largest immigrant community (some say its new majority) so vibrant, unique, and joyous.

What is there to eat this month? Decolonize Your Diet

More than just a cookbook, Decolonize Your Diet redefines what is meant by "traditional" Mexican food by reaching back through hundreds of years of history to reclaim heritage crops as a source of protection from modern diseases of development.

Authors Luz Calvo and Catriona Rueda Esquibel are life partners. When Calvo was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006, they both radically changed their diets and began seeking out recipes featuring healthy, vegetarian (then vegan) Mexican foods.

Yeah, but will it taste good with spice and guac?

They promote an eating lifestyle that is rich in plants indigenous to the Americas (amaranth, squash, corn, beans, greens, herbs, and seeds) and are passionate about the idea that Latinos in America, specifically Mexicans, need to ditch the fast food and return to their own culture's food roots for both physical health and spiritual fulfillment.

This veggie cookbook features over 100 colorful recipes based on Mesoamerican cuisine and also includes contributions from indigenous cultures throughout the Americas, such as kabocha squash in green pipian, aguachile de quinoa, mesquite corn tortillas, tepary bean salad, and amaranth chocolate cake.

Steeped in history but very much rooted in the contemporary world, Decolonize Your Diet introduces readers to the energizing and healing properties of a plant-based Mexican American diet. It is full-color throughout. Decolonize Your Diet: Plant-Based Mexican-American Recipes for Health and Healing

Chicano English in Context

Chicano English in Context by linguist Carmen Fought is the first modern, comprehensive study of Chicano English, a variety of English (mingling with Spanish) spoken by millions of Latinos/Latinas/Hispanics in the U.S. It is also one of the first studies of ongoing sound change within an ethnic minority community. It briefly describes the phonology, syntax, and semantics of this variety and explores its crucial role in the construction of ethnic identity among young Latinas/Latinx. It also corrects misconceptions in how the general public views Chicano English. Chicano English in Context

Can faces be explained without Africa?

(Mysterious Origins) Before the arrival of the genocidal Spanish in 1519, Mexico and Central America (including Panama, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Belize, and Guatemala) was home to some of the most advanced civilizations in the world, including the Maya, Aztec, Zapotec, and Mixtec peoples.

These civilizations built clean, massive, and complex cities that amazed the Spanish, developed sophisticated writing and calendrical systems, and engaged in extensive trade networks.

However, the Spanish conquest, led by the infamous Conquistador Hernán Cortés, resulted in a dramatic transformation of the region for the worse.

The collision of these two civilizations — indigenous Mesoamerican (southern North American) societies and European imperial ambition — resulted in the creation of modern Latino identity, a blending of indigenous and Spanish/European bloodlines.

What about the ruling ET monsters?

Colonization brought not only a new language, religion, and customs but also a reshaping of political and social structures, often at the expense of indigenous autonomy.

The conquest nearly wiped out these Native groups, but indigenous cultures proved remarkably resilient, influencing everything from language and cuisine to spirituality and artistic traditions.

Désirée Zamorano (Amazon)

Manuel Galvan is separated from his parents and sister during the mass expulsion of Mexicans and Mexican Americans in the 1930s [that, though little known, really took place.

He grows from a small, lost and confused boy into a wandering and angry teenager pushed out of high school and into the dockyards.

Later as a loyal, passionate husband he is a man searching for a life of value and dignity despite his losses.

Set against the backdrop of (Mexican) American history in Los Angeles, forced deportations, the demolition of Chavez Ravine [now known as Dodger Stadium], sterilization of Latinas, student protests and rising political consciousness, this story spans his life, from 6 to 60, and his search for his missing family, the missing pieces of his life.

Cinco de Mayo: I'm a Mexican Buddhist

If you are, I am, too!

What does it mean to be a "Mexican Buddhist"? Born and raised in Los Angeles, which is still in many ways Mexico just like it originally was, I went to visit my brother in Orange County. We had recently returned from skiing at Mammoth, where I would meditate in the snow for fun outside the sliding glass door. I didn't realize his young daughter would watch me. So as I'm talking to him in his very modern kitchen, she yells, "Tio! Tio, look!"

Alyssa's a Mexican Buddhist, too

I stick my head into the living room, where she is wearing a Peruvian cap with tassels seated in full lotus with perfect poise focused on her breath. "I've been practicing!" I didn't know what I was looking at. I thought I was the Mexican Buddhist (Chicano/a, Latin, Hispanic, whatever). Oh, to have had a phone camera in hand at that moment! In lieu of that, we've tried to reenact the moment with a mannequin.

Frida Kahlo crossed the US border from Mexico

Happy Mexican Independence Day (El Grito de Dolores, "The Cry of Dolores [Hidalgo]," whose name literally means "pains"), which is NOT today. That's on Sept. 16th every year.

It's largely celebrated only in South Mexico, mostly in the state where an important act of colonial resistance took place. Here in Middle Mexico (Los Angeles, SoCal, extending from San Diego up to about Fresno), we celebrate the 4th of July after the 5th of May (lit., Cinco de Mayo) in much the same way. But they're not the same, and no one cares.

The Avian (Eagle) Bird People?

In the ongoing fight to resist European colonial occupation and exploitation, it's important to remember a "free and sovereign state" called Puebla in the United States of Mexico (Mexico's official name, Estados Unidos Mexicanos), is celebrating today. Is it the arrival of Buddhism? No, most Mexicans have no idea that la Dharma arrived in California, the Southwest, and Mexico in ancient times long before Christianity, Catholicism, or Columbus' aftermath the Conquistadors.

What is "Mexico"?

Ask a Mexican! (Prof. Arellano)

"Mexico" [a, b] is officially called the United Mexican States [c] and is a country in NORTH America, not south, not even central. But to distinguish it from its two other parts (the USA and Canada), it sometimes gets referred to as Mesoamerica.

It borders the USA to the north, Guatemala and Belize to the southeast, while having maritime boundaries with the Pacific Ocean to the west, the Caribbean Sea to the southeast, and the Gulf of Mexico (which would seem to be part of the Atlantic Ocean) to the east.

Racism/colorism in Mexico?

Where did Mexico's racist "caste (casta) system" come from? Spain 

What do Mexicans look like?

Mexico covers 761,610 square miles (1,972,550 km2) [12] and is now the thirteenth-largest country in the world by land area, having had a giant portion of its land occupied and stolen by the USA.

With a population exceeding 130 million, Mexico is the tenth-most populous country in the world (possibly the largest country if its annexed land and population were restored) and is home to the largest number of native Spanish speakers [1].

Mexico's original language, if it had only one, would be Nahuatl (an Uto-Aztecan language of the Mexica people, who called their country "Mexico").

An Inglorious Columbus, 1885

Its religion would likely be Buddhism (due to the influence of early Buddhist missionaries from Afghanistan and China because the West Coast from BC to Mexico is the mysterious land Chinese Buddhist explorers found, wrote about, and named fUSAng), Indigenous shamanism (animism, polytheism), or Native American spirituality were it not for colonial imposition of imperial Roman Catholicism, which rode in on the back of the Virgin Mary and her local appearance as La Virgen de Guadalupe). The Buddhism that thrives there today is a recent arrival, likely unaware of earlier missionary work.

• Buddhism in the West (east of East Asia)

AI, what is Cinco de Mayo? - Let me explain, Gringo.

The Mexica speak Nahuatl

Mexico City is the capital and largest city, which ranks among the most populous metropolitan areas in the world. (Los Angeles, a Mexican pueblo and city for most of its history, is similarly large -- a megalopolis on par with its Asian twin Bangkok in Buddhist Thailand).

Mexico is also the northwesternmost country in Latin America.

The human presence in Mexico dates back to at least 8,000 BC. Mesoamerica, a great cradle of civilization, was home to numerous advanced societies, including the:

Aztec Mexica goddess: Queen Cali

• Olmecs,
• Maya,
• Zapotecs,
• Teotihuacan civilization,
• Purépecha.

Spanish colonization overthrew and enslaved the dominant Aztec Empire (from Aztlan, possibly Atlantis or Great Tartary), establishing the Southwestern European colony of "New Spain" (full of soldiers and priests from the Iberian Peninsula) with its capital at Tenochtitlan (now Mexico City).

Mexico became a major center of the transatlantic economy, fueled by the massive mining of silver that changed the world economy and the forced labor of Indigenous peoples and enslaved Africans [descendants of Afro-Caribbeans, Olmec-Africans, Black skinned indigenous peoples of the Americas and/or Polynesia?]

Who's the current imperial power around here?

The 1810–1821 Mexican War of Independence ended colonial Spanish rule and led to the creation of the First Mexican Empire, which quickly collapsed into the short-lived First Mexican Republic. In 1848, the new USA (an extension of British Empire) stole nearly half the territory of Mexico during what the U.S. calls the "Mexican–American War." More
