This came out in the Chron a couple of days ago: Eliz Markowitz plans to challenge Republican incumbent Matt Morgan in the November 2026 race for Texas House District 26, which represents  a swath from Rosenberg to Katy in Fort Bend County. Markowitz has run before. Donald Trump carried this district with 56% of the vote in…

This was inevitable. We are one of the largest cities in the USA. We have a huge immigrant population. I will say it again. This is what folks voted for last year. Those of us who get the hard copy of the Chron delivered saw the front-page headline on Monday about the City of H-Town…

Donald Trump endorsed MAGA Gov. Greg Abbott for reelection yesterday. Good. Someone released a recent photo yesterday of Trump without his orange makeup. Yikes!

I expect better from…

Here is a sub headline that I prefer: Democrats didn’t…

Today is the big day – Election Day. We will finally narrow the field down to two in the CD 18 Special Election. Same goes for the H-Town At-Large 4 City Council race. It will also be a full evening of checking out Election Day returns from California, New Jersey, New York City, San Antonio,…

Thanks to the MAGA federal government shutdown, the lines at H-Town’s IAC was three hours long this morning. See the featured photo from KPRC Channel 2 News. That is what you call the MAGA line. That is what folks voted for last year. _____ Tomorrow is election day. Folks know who I voted for in…
