Editor-In-Chief
HARLINGEN, Texas - Is it even important? Does it matter if local Blogger Tony Chapa is not an American citizen. We could not care less, but many in this town of 74,000 patriotic residents wonder about it daily. Some even say, in posts submitted to other blogs, that they believe Chapa is a Mexican national.
And now, he has been asked to post his birth certificate.
Chapa, operator of MyHarlingenNews.com, is hanging low, being mum, not answering the question. He should post a copy of his birth certificate and silence the critics, or he should come out of the closet and acknowledge that he is from, uh, there. It's no Big Deal, unless he's not an American citizen. In these hell-fire days of raging politics, it would not be cool for Tony Chapa to incessantly rag on some local elected officials if he's not a citizen.
Is that what Harlingen is telling Mssr. Chapa?
He's not talking.
At last check, the "comments" section of his Blog is full of Tony Chapa self-aggrandizing musings, with himself and with some urchin who identifies himself as Jake. It wasn't that long ago that he counted 40 to 50 comments for every story he posted. It is a tremendous, humbling fall from relevance. Suddenly, nobody cares about Chapa, or about his lifeless Blog. Were this a Porno movie, we'd say the star has lost his dick, or seen it shrink.
But, really, what we say to Mssr. Chapa is that he post his birth certificate, or address the citizen issue with a "yes or no." Until then, he will be seen as an outsider, and, worse yet, an outsider from crazy Mexico.
It's the roiling novela in town. Is dwarfish Danny deVito in it? Think so.
Naaaaaaah. MyHarlingenNews is toast, as they say at Waffle House. Day-old toast and fading. Is there anyone who will rise with Tony Chapa? Is there any Harlingenite who will lift a hand to help him up? Doesn't look like it.
We're not losing sleep over his demise. We actually wish Chapa good luck, mainly because our liberal sensibilities don't allow us to see a man being kicked silly while he's down. It's become an ugly sight.
Tony, Tony, Tony. Throw the Goddamned towel...

SOmeone wrote on a post that he isn't listed on the voting roles. And there has been questions about him having a drivers license.
He is still putting 5 and 7 sentences articles. And bragging about comments. I was talking to a former contributor to MHNs. And he tells me he will never post at that blog again.
Some idiot name,jake, eye of harlingen, Hurricane, Ken Benton, elkroing. Thats about it.
Patrick, you give him to much credit, at the city hall meetings he is like a puppy, not even Yolanda shoefit speaks to him. A real looser.
MyHarlingennews blog, the same B/Shit, jake and his rantings. I have a feeling that guy/women, or whatever he is, dislikes your blog.
Maybe, because he was banned from here. That is the type of bloggers MHNs depends to write and count comments. 6 comments, two from T/C, two from Soledad, and two from Jake.
A tabloid blog, a real rag line blog. A short man, living a lie.
Some character name Jake is saying in Tonie "baloney" Chiapas blog, that you will soon leave.
According to him, it is coming from very good sources.
I say, hogwash, I think they are trying to discredit this blog??? Any truth, our good unbiased man.
ANONYMOUSES, EL MARACHAL:...Those who follow local blogging know we at The Tribune have propped-up Tony Chapa more times than we care to remember. But he is an ungrateful fellow. His problem with us began when he couldn't keep his word. Now, he dumps on us and he uses a blogger (Jake, Ren, etc., etc.) he has banned on numerous occasions - perhaps because his bloggers are non-existent. A sad state of affairs has become the clear portrait of a man at a loss. He no doubt has no idea as to what to do. Is it true he has no driver's license? We have lost all faith in MyHarlingenNews as a venue for anything important. It's now some low-rent circus that can't find the road out of town. I personally always liked the midget acts at the circus. Oh, well... - Editor
Good post, your articles are always good, keep up the good work.
tony is a phoney.
Some dumb ass, name Jake is supporting Toney the looser chapete, out of 19 comments, 8 were toneys. And he is bragging about his rag line web-site. Pobre Tonto.
He is desperate, like a loose cannon, writing crap, he doesn't believe himself. Sigele pendejo, ay en Harlingen, tienen un hospital de locos.
Kino Flores, power went to his head. Scamming money from citizens has become the chore of the day.
They use to rob people with guns and knifes, now they use the pen, and wear suits.
I wish the FBI would start an investigation on Cameron county politicos. Starting from the state elected officials down the pike, all the way to Harlingen.
ANONYMOUS:...The word in the streets of Harlingen is that Tony Chapa is Jake, that he has stolen his ubiquitous commenter's name. We suspect that, with few, few, exceptions, the comments on MyHarlingenNews are all Tony Chapa, because Harlingen has deserted him. About that there is no question... - Editor
Martha A.
Tony has censored me 3 times today for defending your site and pointing out that tony/jake/jude are the same person. Tony still brags he won the survey contest even though it was revealed it was rigged. How stupido can one person be, who by the way IS an illegal alien hiding behind his ex-wife's skirt at her house in the suburbs od Harlingen. He must cringe each time he hears that knock on the door. Don't worry pokito your day is coming!

Profile of the Sociopath, what makes the person running MHN tick. Read it here and understand what you are dealing with and then be careful!
The common features of descriptions of the behavior of sociopaths.
Glibness and Superficial Charm
Manipulative and Conning
They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.
Grandiose Sense of Self
Feels entitled to certain things as “their right.”
Pathological Lying
Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests.
Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt
A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.
Shallow Emotions
When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises.
Incapacity for Love
Need for Stimulation
Living on the edge. Verbal outbursts and physical punishments are normal. Promiscuity and gambling are common.
Callousness/Lack of Empathy
Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others’ feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them.
Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature
Rage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others.
Early Behavior Problems/Juvenile Delinquency
Usually has a history of behavioral and academic difficulties, yet “gets by” by conning others. Problems in making and keeping friends; aberrant behaviors such as cruelty to people or animals, stealing, etc.
Irresponsibility/Unreliability
Not concerned about wrecking others’ lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed.
Promiscuous Sexual Behavior/Infidelity
Promiscuity, child sexual abuse, rape and sexual acting out of all sorts.
Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle
Tends to move around a lot or makes all encompassing promises for the future, poor work ethic but exploits others effectively.
Criminal or Entrepreneurial Versatility
Changes their image as needed to avoid prosecution. Changes life story readily.
MARTHA A.:...We do not in any way see Tony Chapa as being a sociopath. To us he is more of an annoying cat, someone who simply cannot grasp his world. Tony lives in Harlingen, but thinks he's in Juarez. Lobbing verbal bombs is his game, and he plays it like a 5-year-old child. A sociopath is dangerous. We do not think Tony is dangerous at all. He's a cyber-bully who when confronted shrinks like a rose in the desert. Too many such episodes of his being confronted by locals who tell us he never responds leads us to believe that. We've met him and "danger" is not a word we would associate with him. Milquetoast is more like it, actually...- Editor

Why do you hate everyone?
Tony Chapa
Wednesday, October 27, 2010 at 2:35 pm
Gat your facts straight,
I don’t hate everybody.
Just the Old Guard, Old Clique (keep the city stagnant) Red Liners and their supporters like Jerry Deal and his bloggers and Eduardo (Duardo) Paz Martinez and his 3-6 bloggers.

Why do you hate white people in particular?
Tony Chapa
Wednesday, October 27, 2010 at 2:53 pm
No,
I don’t hate white people.
Just some of the white racist people and some of their coconut followers.

You told me once in a private conversation that you want to drive all white people out of Harlingen, that it was a latino town and you want all gringos gone, period. Do you deny that?
Martha, Tony es puro Cabron, Patrick is right, he is a bully. Big Joe Rubio called him out at the commission meeting. And he behave like a kitten with the tail between his legs.
He hangs out with this real old man. This man drives him around, because he can't drive.
As for Jake, Ren,and I don't know who else, I think they are helping Tony write crazy articles with no substance. All three of them, son Puros Cabrones.
Anonymouses:...Tony Chapa does not hate white people, per se. I believe his problem is insecurity. People, especially men, who are short can never come to terms with their God. Being short must be unnerving. Tony perhaps suffers from a Minnie Mouse syndrome, but who knows? He's an odd duck, a strange cat, an angry terrier, a wingless bird. As Melissa Zamora might say, "Quien sobby." Sorry, Melly. It just seemed to feed the continuity of that graph. Could Tony be Napoleonic? How tall was Napoleon anyway? Tom Thumb? I get carried away. White people in Harlingen seem to hate Chapa. Is that racial strife, or is it me being perhaps too inquisitive... - Editor
TC, has alienated whites, blacks, hispanic and just about everyone he speaks to.
He is a delusional man, like the beatles old song: "A nowhere man." He loves to have comments on that rag line blog of his. Como dicen el los indios Texas, esta medio cyclon.
Okay don patricio, what is this that you are heading to Las Casuelas in Harlingen for Breakfast??? Their Ham and eggs are super duper good, and the tortillitas well cooked are just as good.
The Medranos are good people, they moved from Dallas to the Valley about 25 years ago.
The food and coffee is great as is the service. (Las meseras no estan my buenas) pero la comida es otra cosa. ...Enjoy!!!!
Mr. Editor, no need to defend your actions. We know you don't post every comment. T/C does, some guy name Ren, or Jake, literally called Martha A. a nasty name, and use some very nasty comments, for simply asking a question.
Tony, does anything for comments, nasty, clean, anything goes on his blog.
Esta de dar lastima, el chapparrin.
My apologies to Martha A. Yesterday in the throes of blind naivete, I tried to elicit a spark of conscience in that dark void known as Chapa's brain. Apparently, he and his equally challenged henchman, Jake, with their one shared rapier wit (or maybe they're just sharing the one rapier) fired my comment back at Martha with what they thought passed as a devastating comeback. I just hope Martha didn't fall on the floor laughing hysterically and suffer injury in the process. If you're going to lob insults boys, even ineffective ones, first you have to make sure they make sense, then you have to aim in the right direction. Chapa's incontinent dribbling of fecal effluent that is his best effort at discourse, is resulting in the swarming of flies and other vermin (some of whom can actually tap out words on a keyboard). Anyway Martha, I owe you one. M.
tony has painted himself into a corner. he erases comments he doesn't like and then makes a comment about the comment he just erased. The end result, yes he has more comments than deal or tribune but 75% are by tony chapa. go figure!
ANONYMOUS M & ANONYMOUS:...The operative phrase for Tony Chapa and his vermin is "little games for little minds." There is no hope that they will ever give you intelligence in return for any sentient comment you make. It is strictly junior high on MyHarlingenNews. Tony Chapa is talking to himself, commenting on his own comments. It's bizarre, but the weak brain knows nothing else... - Editor
I noticed he posted 17 comments about 10 were his. That T/C is a looser with a capital L. And some guy name Jake, has been calling Martha all kinds of crap. Loosers stick with Loosers.
Martha and Patrick, seriously, I don't know about anyone else: BUT THIS IS THE BEST BLOG IN TOWN. GOOD WELL WRITTEN ARTICLES, A LITTLE SATIRE. IT IS JUST A GOOD BLOG. IT IS THAT SIMPLE.
Anotnio Chaparro, post your birth certificate on line. Do it on mhns, dot it on Jerry's blog, do it right here at the Tribune, do it on Harlingen blogs, inquiring minds want to know. Orale Bro, show your true grit.
ANONYMOUS & EL MARACHAL:...Thanks for the kind, observant words about the Blog. It could be better. As for Tony Chapa posting his birth certificate, well, we'll see. He's a stubborn lad. I think he'll post it immediately if we only tell him NOT to post it. That's how his brain seems to work... - Editor
Tony Chopo, man-up, you midget, post your passport if you have one. Post your voting card, post something.
We want to know who you really are, is it true, you are Jake? Ren maybe, take your pick, you have four blogs.
Pos no que eras muy hombrecito???
ANON:...We're laughing. Chapa noted he has more comments than The Tribune. In one case, he posted 10 comments and 7 were HIS own. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. What an infantile joker... - Editor
