Things happen. See this from the Chron: A hastily convened panel of nine Harris County residents voted 6-3 to recommend that Commissioners Court approve a 30% raise for county Treasurer Carla Wyatt following a salary grievance hearing Thursday.  The committee recommended her pay be increased to $181,411 despite testimony from county officials who pointed to the office’s…

The family got together last night for dinner to celebrate my nephew Dante’s birthday. Dante’s birthday is today. Happy Birthday, Dante. _____ Let’s see. High gasoline prices, the cost of buying groceries, Donald Trump’s war in Iran, the crazy tariff policies, health care affordability, our underfunded public schools, explosive diarrhea, ICE thugs, just to name…

We all know that trust in local, statewide, and national news organizations has plummeted due to the attacks from Donald Trump and MAGA. If Trump and MAGA don’t like news coverage, they call it fake news and lies. As a result, both local and national news viewership on the broadcast level has dropped dramatically. Here…

MAGA Gov. Greg Abbott in his ads says he is “advancing transformative policies.” I have news for Abbott. The definition of transformative is “causing or able to cause an important and lasting change in someone or something.” Abbott’s transformative policies are hate, and hate is something that has been around forever. It is not new.…

We have heard the term “bait and switch.” Here is the definition:  the ploy of offering a person something desirable to gain favor (such as political support) then thwarting expectations with something less desirable Now see this from the front page of the Chron hard copy today: Gov. Greg Abbott has spent much of the…

I participated in a text poll yesterday. It appears the poll was conducted by the cheating, crooked Ken Paxton campaign or a PAC supporting Paxton. They asked the typical campaign poll questions. They also had me watch an attack ad on State Rep. James Talarico and wanted my reaction to the ad. The ad focused…

See the featured photo. There is a very good AP story on the front page of today’s Chron hard copy on Democratic Party primary voters throughout the country wanting change in our politics. Not so much change in our policies, but more in our candidates. Democratic Party primary voters want new blood. Hopefully, voters in…

State Rep. James Talarico came out with another ad this morning. I will call it the Love God Ad. See the featured photo. The ad also features his grandfather. I am sure MAGA is going berserk on Rep. Talarico embracing, err stealing God. I love it. _____ I pretty much think voters don’t really care…

I have said before that I stopped watching the Sunday morning national talk shows. I made the exception this past Sunday to watch Jonathan Karl interview Cong. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on ABC. AOC was on her game. She is one of the faces of the Democratic Party’s leadership. You know she is effective because the MAGA…

This is from the Chronicle back in mid-December of last year: Gov. Greg Abbott is prepared to pour $25 million into his effort to turn Harris County — a Democratic stronghold he lost by 10 percentage points in 2022 — “dark red” as he seeks a record fourth term in office, according to details of the plan…
