At The Yard

The Harris County Election Board met yesterday and are moving forward to find a new Election Administrator. A national search will begin. Let’s hope this is a transparent process and not some backdoor deal we got last year that blew up in folks faces. Find someone with experience and not someone’s political pal. Good luck.…

Shut Up

Sorry for the delay. For some reason, I could not get on my website. I kind of wish everyone involved with this would just shut up.  At an Easter Sunday gathering I attended, a few folks in the know were there. No one thinks the cases will be resolved before the November election.  The least…

Trash Talk

If you live in H-Town and rely on the city to pick up your black and green bins, most likely you are encountering delays.  Here is from a front-page story in today’s Chron hard copy: For the last few months, Juan Sorto and his neighbors have looked toward the curb on Thursdays and asked themselves…

Good Friday

Commentary will spend much of Good Friday taking my Dad to his primary care doctor. A regular check-up so to speak. Go to Baytown, take him to his appointment, then take him back to Baytown. On Easter Sunday, I will spend some time at my Dad’s, then go over to One of My Best Friend’s…

Abbott’s Border Mess

Commentary said this yesterday: Dumbarse GOP Gov. Greg Abbott’s new border inspection policy is creating supply chain issues in the country and not getting the results he expected. Folks have not figured out his endgame. Abbott’s game ended yesterday. For now. He became a national boob.  The business community opposed him. Groups and associations who…

Space City

Most folks in these parts don’t ask for Commentary’s take on politics.  Here is one take from me anyways. The indictments handed down yesterday to three of Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo’s top staffers is not going to help us Democrats with voters locally this November. We now have a Democratic District Attorney going after…

State Rep. Christina Morales Cookies

Commentary got his second COVID-19 booster shot yesterday – outdoors – at Montie Beach Park, a few blocks from my house. It was administered by the City of Houston Health Department. I have gotten all my COVID-19 vaccinations from the Health Department, but this time I had to fill out a bunch of paperwork that…

Justice Jackson and Tiger

Commentary was watching the U.S. Senate confirmation vote on Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson yesterday. When Vice President Kamala Harris announced that she was confirmed, folks in the chamber including Senators and staff stood, applauded, and cheered.  Cancun Cruz would not even recognize the historical significance and walked out. Cancun was on the wrong side of…

Not A Good Look for Local Democrats

You don’t need Commentary to tell you the following isn’t a good look for Harris County Democrats.  The Harris County Elections Commission is made up of four Democrats and one Republican. Of course, this all started when they hired the wrong person to serve as Elections Administrator.  I can’t fault Harris County Clerk Teneshia Hudspeth…
