Selena was murdered 30 years ago today. We will always miss her. _____ I saw this in the Chron this past weekend: A group of Houstonians says it plans to begin the work of gathering 64,000 signatures in hopes of eventually ousting Mayor John Whitmire in a recall vote.  Recall for Houston formed nearly a year…

Yesterday’s experience at Daikin Park has to be a four-star thing. First and foremost, we won the game as closer Josh Hader struck out Juan Soto to end the game. Nice. The game was just 2 hours and 45 minutes long. Cam Smith got a base hit on the first pitch he saw as a…

On the KPRC Channel 2 News this morning, one of the lead stories was about a busted water main near Yale and Washington that is causing major street flooding and forced the closure of Yale Street in both directions. One business, the nearby Schlotzsky’s, was reportedly taking in water. I know the area well. H-Town…

Commentary thinks Cong. Jasmine Crockett calling Gov. Greg Abbott, “Gov. Hot Wheels” was insensitive and stupid. She needs to walk it back and apologize. I get why MAGA leaders in Congress are calling her out. I also get why the same MAGA leaders in Congress don’t call out Donald Trump when he calls folks names.…

Remember in 2016 when GOP congressional leaders exhaustively investigated former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over her use of a private email server. Their investigations turned up zilch. It was still a dumb move by Sec. Clinton. The editor-in-chief for The Atlantic was texted war plans by the current defense secretary. MAGA leaders in congress…

Rockets, Astros paid over $200M. Here is how the article starts: As county leaders and officials with Bob McNair’s…

Some of you have seen his TV ad that says something like “you better get Dick.” Well, it looks like the law got Dick. See this from the Chron: A Houston-area insurance lawyer and Harris County Department of Education trustee was arrested in early March after allegedly assaulting his spouse, records show. Police arrested Eric Dick around 6 a.m.…

Former H-Town Council Member Amanda Edwards just announced she is running for the 18th Congressional District. Here is her statement she posted on Facebook: I am honored to announce that I am running for Congress. My commitment to this community has never wavered, and I will continue to fight for the opportunities and resources our…

As of this morning, a special election for the 18th Congressional District of Texas has not been called.  We are approaching the deadline for a May 3 election. Abby Church of the Chron has a good take on why Christian Menefee is still our Harris County Attorney even though he is supposed to resign to…
