Chuck Mangione is no longer with us. I bought his album in the featured photo over 40 years ago. The album includes his hit tune “Feels So Good.” _____ As a Chron hard copy subscriber, I know that Evan Mintz is now the Chron’s Editor for Opinion and Community Engagement. Here is the start of…

Just so you know how extreme MAGA is, Democrats in the Texas Legislature are now having to defend the GOP gerrymandered congressional map in the featured photo adopted in 2021. That’s f_cked up! _____ Meanwhile, the Trib just tweeted this: Tejano superstar Bobby Pulido is forming an exploratory committee for a congressional bid in South…

This just dropped. See this from the Chron: Judge Lina Hidalgo has the lowest net approval rating of any Harris County elected official, according to a study released Wednesday by the University of Houston Hobby School of Public Affairs.  The study polled 2,300 registered voters on their opinions of elected officials and potential candidates for the…

Commentary doesn’t hang much in Downtown H-Town, only when I go to Daikin Park or maybe to a luncheon event. That’s it. I may drive through Midtown on occasion. I drive into the East Downtown area a few times a month. Still, I’ve never seen anyone ride a scooter.  That is why I was surprised…

One of the things I look for is how much was raised, how much was spent, and cash-on-hand (COH), or what is the campaign account bank balance on the last day…

Craig Melvin of “Today” mentioned the term “baseball purist” this morning. Craig was talking about the way the MLB All Star Game was decided last night with the “swing-off” rather than the traditional extra innings. I don’t think baseball purists exist these days. A purist would be someone who still wants the MLB game of…

The featured photo is sad to see. It is still heartbreaking. _____ This just came out. DALLAS, TX — Senator Nathan Johnson issued the following statement concerning his run for the Office of Texas Attorney General:  “Texas stands among the most powerful and important governments in the world. We ought to have a good lawyer.…

On “What’s Your Point” yesterday, the Breitbart Texas fella, on the issue of the upcoming special legislative session taking up congressional district, he criticized the boundaries of the 10th and 33rd congressional districts of Texas. I guess the Breitbart Texas fella didn’t read this piece from the Trib in October of 2021. See this from…
