Halloween is a month away. Commentary always hands out chocolate goodies. A couple of years ago I got introduced to Yalloween, as in the featured photo.

Regina Lankenau is the Chron’s Assistant Op-Ed Editor, and she penned today the column in the hard copy editorial page on the state of Latino politics in the H-Town area.

I kind of followed the trial in the featured photo. I watched coverage on KPRC Channel 2 news. I will say it again. It is our gun culture. The GOP has made it very convenient for folks to carry guns. I feel for the family who lost their nine-year old little girl. To the punkarse…

One of the main speakers said he hates his opponents.…

See this: Today, Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Whip Katherine Clark, Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar, Caucus Vice Chair Ted Lieu, Assistant Leader Joe Neguse and DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene released the following statement: Brendan…

It is crying shame. Merida says in the flick, “I choose my own path, not the one set for me.” Disney caved and ousted Jimmy Kimmel yesterday.…

Yeah, go on ahead and say Hidalgone, Hidalgoing, Hidalgover, if it gets you a lot of clicks and laughs. She in the featured photo is going to continue to lead Harris County government for the next 15 months. Judge Lina Hidalgo was the only Democrat to file for Harris County Judge in late 2017. In…
