My old pal, former State Rep. Garnet Coleman left us a couple of days ago. He was one of the best to ever serve in the Texas Legislature. For three decades. Hard working, tenacious, passionate, savvy, thoughtful, and great political instincts. He studied and immersed himself in the issues of the day. I always respected…

State Rep. Gina Hinojosa rolled out a new ad this morning and she hits back and goes after MAGA Gov. Greg Abbott. See the featured photo. Good. The Chron has a story on Rep. Hinojosa on the campaign trail. See how the Chron story starts: Gina Hinojosa had a plea for the crowd that came…

The Republicans, who are now MAGA, have been running things in Texas for a long time now. MAGA incumbents are not running on their records. MAGA Gov. Greg Abbott – nope. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick – nope. Instead, they are running attack ads. It tells us a lot. I guess their records are not up…

Election Day is six weeks from today. _____ For the past couple of weeks or so, in his campaign ads, MAGA Gov. Greg Abbott has been telling us the state doesn’t have property taxes. Abbott rolled out an ad this morning accusing State Rep. Gina Hinojosa of voting to raise property taxes 40 times. Got…

On “What’s Your Point?” yesterday, the first two segments were about the property tax increase over at the Harris County Commissioners Court. Moderator Greg Groogan was leading the charge against the tax increase and hopes to get voters to remember this when early voting begins on Monday, October 19, which is four weeks from today.…

Let’s see. JD Vance and MAGA Gov. Greg Abbott are asking voters not to pay attention to the MAGA record. Instead, they are saying Democrats are radicals. It is not going to work. _____ Chron Business Columnist Chris Tomlinson has a piece today on Hindu Americans after the racist attack on UT students last weekend.…

Remember when I posted this a few weeks ago: 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…

Nope. I am not talking about running into Bo French at the H-Town Downtown parade on Thanksgiving Day. “Today” did a segment this morning on some retailers already putting out the Christmas deals. See the featured photo. It is called Christmas Creep. Let’s see. Last week was Labor Day. We still have Halloween and Thanksgiving…

We got this news yesterday. See this from the Trib: Karl Rove, former adviser to President George W. Bush and longtime Texas GOP political consultant, said he will vote for Jon Rosenthal, a Houston Democrat running to serve the Texas Railroad Commission, after Republican Bo French posted racist comments on Sunday about South Asian students…

I was at the Texans game yesterday. See the featured photo. It wasn’t until I got home that I saw the latest from the racist arsehole MAGA candidate for Railroad Commissioner. MAGA on full display. When I first saw the photo, I thought it was cool that kids were wildly enthusiastic about the Longhorn comeback…
