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…

I am one of those who doesn’t have a problem with AOC stepping forward to help lead the fight for Democrats on the national level. She is articulate, smart, sharp and a Latina. I would rather have her taking a lead than one of the Democratic retreads. Go for it, AOC. _____ Here we go…

Dylan McGuinness of the Chron has a good article today on the sweetheart deal the Texans got on using NRG. First here is the headline of the article: Texans have paid only $4M in rent since 2002. 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.

Former H-Town Council Member Amanda Edwards just announced she is running for the 18th Congressional District.

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…

On “What’s Your Point” yesterday, panelist Nyanza Moore called out Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee for filing a committee to run for the 18th Congressional District of Texas with the Federal Elections Commission on the same day former Mayor Sylvester Turner was buried. Nyanza went on to endorse State Rep. Jolanda Jones for the 18th…

Commentary has said it before. Our Democratic Party leadership in Congress is clueless these days. See this from the Daily Beast: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez blasted Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s plan to let Republicans advance their government spending bill, saying it’s “as dangerous as it is reckless.” The current continuing resolution “turns the federal government into a slush…

The Chron E-Board today is calling for Gov. Greg Abbott to call a special election to fill the vacancy for the 18th Congressional District of Texas, like quickly. It has been eight days since the passing of former Mayor Sylvester Turner. Let’s hope Gov. Abbott does the right thing and calls an election for May…
