Mayra Flores, the GOPer who just won the Congressional special election in South Texas, said the Democratic Party had walked away from the Latino community or something like that. How many GOP elected officials in Texas are Latino or Latinas versus how many Democratic elected officials in Texas are Latino or Latinas? Enough said. _____…

Commentary has been living in the Heights for over three decades. I was here when the Fiesta on 14th and Studewood was called Clayton’s. The Fiesta has been gone for nearly 10 years now. I have lived through the changes, and they have kind of just grown on me. Where I live in the Heights,…

It turns out 13 DPS troopers were also crouched in the hallway at Robb Elementary for an hour or so three weeks ago. A testament to the failed leadership of Gov. Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and GOP Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan. We are not safe we these guys in charge. Abbott is…

The official motto of Texas is “Friendship.” That’s a big joke for sure. Gov. Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, GOP Texas legislators, and the Texas GOP do a great job of promoting hate in Texas. It wasn’t surprising to see Texans well represented amongst those that were packed in a U-Haul truck in Idaho.…

LIV Golf is the Saudi funded and sponsored new professional golf circuit. Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, and Sergio Garcia are among those who have been recruited to play and they are taking the blood money.  LIV spokesperson is none other than former Bush 43 press secretary Ari Fleisher. Think about that the next time this…

Commentary thinks H-Town needs a new parks director.  We have to keep our swimming pools open. Poor planning if you ask me. Here is from today’s Chron: A lifeguard shortage is keeping most Houston community pools closed as summer arrives with near record temperatures. Just 12 of 37 aquatic centers operated by the Parks and…

It is good to see a Democrat get something done in Texas State government. Commentary is talking about The Dean. We all know our prison system in Texas is well underfunded.  It doesn’t help when idiots like GOP Gov. Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and GOP Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan move tens of…

The invasion of Normandy, Operation Overlord, D-Day, was 78 years ago today. It was a Tuesday. We are making progress on guns. How do I know? Just listen to Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick’s latest. Patrick wants to spend $50 million of state tax dollars on shields for every police officer in Texas. Sigh. Who dies…

I know you have heard about the following. This is from the Trib: State Sen. Roland Gutierrez, a Democrat who represents Uvalde, said hisexclusion from a special legislative committee designed to make legislative recommendations in response to the Uvalde shooting was a “slap in the face” to the people of that community. “I do consider it…
