Two weeks from tonight we will be tallying the vote of the 2026 general election. _____ Some folks are touting an op-ed former Harris County Judge Ed Emmett put out in the Chron. Don’t waste your time. It is a nothing burger from a Republican unhappy that his GOP is MAGA. _____ Now that early…

Polls and surveys across the country have Democrats doing well in states like Alaska, Iowa, Kansas, and Texas, of all places. These same polls and surveys are being criticized by MAGA and even some Democrats who refuse to believe that voters have had it with Donald Trump and MAGA policies. MAGA Gov. Greg Abbott is…

Donald Trump is calling for a debate between State Rep. James Talarico and cheating, crooked Ken Paxton. Paxton is too chicken and gutless to debate.
