Friday the 13th

The Chron E-Board endorsed Orlando Sanchez for Harris County Judge in the MAGA primary. In the endorsement, the E-Board said Orlando’s opponent, Marty Lancton, wasn’t ready for prime time. See this: Sanchez’s grasp of specifics stood in contrast with Lancton, who was disappointingly vague in talking about what he wanted to do as county judge.…

Jarvis Johnson, said this to the E-Board: “When I look at the base of the party, I do see that the base of the party is the African American vote.

Astros Spring Training

I took my mail ballot to the post office yesterday. Early voting in person starts in six days. The Chron has a hard copy story today mentioning U.S. Sen. John Cornyn hoping to get endorsed by Donald Trump. Getting late for Sen. Cornyn. Don’t feel sorry for this arsehole who morphed into a MAGA shill.…

Because of filing deadlines, her name will still appear on the ballot…

See this from an online story from CNBC: Donald Trump shared a racist image overnight showing former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama portrayed as apes. The depiction…

The Newspaper

Commentary lets folks know all the time that I subscribe to the Chronicle. I think it is important to support local journalism. That includes sports and entertainment coverage. For example, I sort of keep up with local high school sports and I learned a few days ago from the Chron sports section which high schools…

Chase the Fight

The high school student ICE protest walkouts across Texas are having an impact and are obviously effective. Why else would our moron Gov. Greg Abbott and the Texas Education Agency issue threats against educators and ISDs. From the Trib: The Texas Education Agency on Tuesday warned school districts that they could be taken over by…

Mail Ballot Time

Let me say that I get along with Allen Blakemore when I run into him. I think this is hilarious. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick’s MAGA consultant @AllenBlakemore tweeted this about the SD 9 runoff results: @JohnRHuffman is a piece of work. He ran against @LeighForTexas in November and got crushed 2:1, 42,000 to 19,000 votes,…

My voting precinct in the Heights voted 73% for Christian. I had breakfast on Saturday morning with a reporter from a…
