GOP Harris County Judge candidate Alexandra del Moral Mealer is a Trumper.  See the featured photo. You can’t have it both ways. During the pandemic when folks were using Zoom to communicate with the outside world, folks would sometimes put an image right next to themselves to promote something. Some TV reporters might put their…

False Alarm

Heights High School is four blocks from my place.  It hit home so to speak when I learned yesterday that the high school was threatened by a possible active shooter.  At the time, I had a technician here working on internet issues. I wasn’t going to do something dumb like run over there and check…

El Voto

Commentary has said the following before. I think. Harris County’s Latino population is one of the least told stories in America. When people talk about Latinos in Texas, Harris County Latinos have often been overlooked. Of the 11 million plus Texas Latinos, nearly I out of every 5 reside here in Harris County. Harris County…

Fire This Guy

I have seen where some think it would be a good gesture for President Joe Biden to invite Donald Trump to be part of the official U.S. delegation to Queen Elizabeth’s funeral. Shut up! Let’s see.

I am entitled to let them know they are chickensh-t at times. Like today. Two weeks ago today, their lead front page headline blasted this: Comptroller threatens county budget…

Gov. Dan Patrick’s Democratic challenger. “The one person who I’ll support statewide that will get me a little in trouble: Mike Collier for lieutenant governor,” Whitley said on Y’all-itics, a WFAA politics podcast.

MAGA Demons

Best line from last night’s speech from President Joe Biden: “You can’t love your country only if you win.” MAGA is bad news for our democracy. President Biden has a responsibility to let the country know they are dangerous.  Demonize those MFers. Meanwhile, Donald Trump said yesterday he would pardon the January 6 insurrectionists. How…
