Folks know Commentary watches “Today” every morning. It is a sad morning in Studio 1A this Friday. See this that just came out: Uche Ojeh, Sheinelle Jones’ husband of 17 years, has died following a battle with brain cancer. He was 45. “With profound sadness, we share this morning that Uche Ojeh, the husband of…

We have a GOP candidate for Harris County Judge. Here is from the Chron: The mayor of Piney Point Village, a Houston enclave with a population of roughly 3,000, announced Tuesday her intent to run for Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo’s seat in the November 2026 election.  Aliza Dutt, a Republican, was elected mayor of Piney Point…

Here is the latest from CBS Sports: On Tuesday, Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred effectively changed baseball’s permanently ineligible list to a lifetime…

I ran into Sal Serrano in the featured photo yesterday. He is a San Jacinto College Trustee and is in a runoff election set for June 7.
