Judge Victor Trevino III conducted the ceremony, and Whitmire took his oath on his mother’s prayer book and Bible,…

This will be my final take in 2023. There were highlights and lowlights in 2023. 2023 started off with my Dad’s health deteriorating, having him in the ER, hospital, and a rehab center.

Former U.N Ambassador and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley needs to brush up on American history. If she doesn’t know that slavery was the cause of the Civil War, then she is a dummy.  It is an insult to the 620,000 Americans who died of violence during the Civil War. Haley is a disgrace and…

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said yesterday that the Donald Trump indictments impacted his campaign for president. Here is his quote: “I would say if I could have one thing change, I wish Trump hadn’t been indicted on any of this stuff. I mean honestly, I think from Alvin Bragg on, I’ve criticized the cases, I…

Hello, winter. Well at least I am not running my AC. _____ Here is my political take for today. If Donald Trump isn’t on the ballot next year, a lot of his supporters stay home and don’t vote in November of 2024. If the U.S. Supreme Court says he isn’t qualified or if the GOP…

I mentioned I would have more on Frumencio Ryes, Jr. He left us a couple of weeks ago. Here is his obituary: Frumencio Reyes, Jr.03/07/1939 – 12/06/2023Frumencio Reyes, Jr.,84, was born on March 7, 1939, and passed away on December 6, 2023, while surrounded by his loving family.

Commentary has received three Christmas cards. One from The White House – the same one Miya Shay tweeted out days ago. One from Andrea and Bill White – the former Chron E-Board member and the former H-Town mayor. And one from my best friends Julie and Al Luna and their family. _____ This is BS.…
