Here is what U.S. Sen. John Cornyn said about cheating, crooked Ken Paxton a few days ago: “Paxton’s a poor campaigner. He’s lazy and doesn’t raise money. And he basically is not offering a very compelling case for his election. He’s making this harder than it needs to be. But so be it — we…

Donald Trump started his war with Iran 6 months ago today. There appears to be no end in sight. _____ There are 15,000 City of H-Town drinking water customers that are delinquent in paying their water bills. They are fixing to get their water shut off. See this from KPRC Channel 2 News: Houston – Beginning…

I have said it before repeatedly. Donald Trump, Gov. Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and MAGA have no moral high ground and no claims to law and order. They are just crooked arse scum dwellers pure and simple. See the latest from AP: BROWNSVILLE, Texas (AP) — An Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer charged…

Dolly Parton is no longer with us. She left us yesterday. Sad news for sure. I was a Dolly Parton fan since her days with Porter Wagoner. 9 to 5. Her collaborations with Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt and with Kenny Rogers. Steel Magnolias. “I Will Always Love You” when she sang it in The…

Harris County Clerk Teneshia Hudspeth sent this email out yesterday: “The Commissioners Court recently approved salary increases for certain elected officials, including an increase in my authorized salary to $305,000. I appreciate the Commissioners Court’s action and recognition of the responsibilities and demands of serving in this role. However, the approved salary increase was not accompanied…

Folks know I don’t watch the national Sunday morning talk shows. I made another exception yesterday to watch MAGA Gov. Greg Abbott get interviewed by ABC’s Jonathan Karl. It was the typical pathetic performance by Abbott. On the explosion of data centers in Texas, the data center cheerleading punkarse governor blamed the locals and the…

Things happen. See this from the Chron: A hastily convened panel of nine Harris County residents voted 6-3 to recommend that Commissioners Court approve a 30% raise for county Treasurer Carla Wyatt following a salary grievance hearing Thursday.  The committee recommended her pay be increased to $181,411 despite testimony from county officials who pointed to the office’s…

The family got together last night for dinner to celebrate my nephew Dante’s birthday. Dante’s birthday is today. Happy Birthday, Dante. _____ Let’s see. High gasoline prices, the cost of buying groceries, Donald Trump’s war in Iran, the crazy tariff policies, health care affordability, our underfunded public schools, explosive diarrhea, ICE thugs, just to name…

We all know that trust in local, statewide, and national news organizations has plummeted due to the attacks from Donald Trump and MAGA. If Trump and MAGA don’t like news coverage, they call it fake news and lies. As a result, both local and national news viewership on the broadcast level has dropped dramatically. Here…

MAGA Gov. Greg Abbott in his ads says he is “advancing transformative policies.” I have news for Abbott. The definition of transformative is “causing or able to cause an important and lasting change in someone or something.” Abbott’s transformative policies are hate, and hate is something that has been around forever. It is not new.…
