State Sen. John Whitmire was endorsed by the Houston Chronicle Editorial Board yesterday. Here is a part: It will take a shrewd pragmatist — it always has — to successfully run this complex city, to balance its competing interests, priorities and profit motives. It will take a leader guided by data, strategic thinking and common sense —…

Early voting in person starts on Monday. Are you ready? _____ There wasn’t a vote yesterday to elect a U.S. House Speaker.  What a joke. _____ By now, folks know how Commentary feels about how the Harris County Elections Division has been run since 2020. Harris County officials have pretty much shot themselves in the…

Insurrectionist GOP Cong. Jim Jordan came up short again. Oh, well. _____ This is kind of silly. See this from the Chron: A group of Houston-area Democrats are surveying local precinct chairs to gauge interest in censuring party member Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg, citing a recent Chronicle investigation that found Ogg had launched multiple criminal investigations against…

The Texas GOP intraparty neo-Nazi war had another casualty yesterday. The neo-Nazi supporting PAC dismissed one of their leaders. Oh, well. The insurrectionist GOP U.S House member Jim Jordan couldn’t get enough GOP votes for House Speaker yesterday. He will try again later this morning. _____ Today, the Chron E-Board endorsed Conchita Reyes for H-Town…

What exactly does he stand for if he can get such varied groups and individuals to back…

Today is Friday the 13th. Oh, well. _____ A few months ago, I got the glasses in the featured photo in the mail. It was a promotion by Mountain Dew. I stored them away. It turns out they are ISO 12312-2 certified. When I put them on indoors, I can’t see anything.  I will try…

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick is trying to normalize the acceptance of campaign dough from supporters of neo-Nazis.  Nope. That will never be normal. _____ The campaign contributions and expenditures reports were due on Tuesday and here is from the Chron: U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee and former Metro chair Gilbert Garcia both made mistakes in the…

Yesterday, the Chron E-Board endorsed Joaquin Martinez for H-Town City Council, District I. I received my mail ballot yesterday. It is five pages long. I filled it out and took it to the post office yesterday afternoon. When you vote by mail, you can go online and find info on the 14 state constitutional amendments…

I must say it is amusing to watch Texas’s GOP elected officials call each other out for embracing neo-Nazis.  I remember the days when Democrats would be doing the calling out. Some GOPers aren’t even ashamed of being called out as neo-Nazi lovers. The sad thing about the latest in GOP infighting is that Texas…
