I have been watching coverage of the 9/11 ceremony, 25 years later. See the featured photo. At the ceremony this morning at Ground Zero, during the annual reading of the names of those who were murdered, a family member called out government leaders, including some in attendance, for not holding Saudi Arabia accountable for their…

I am catching tidbits from the Trumpapaloser up in Dallas. Donald Trump says crooked, cheating Ken Paxton is a slob. U.S. Sen. John Fetterman is putting the finishing touches on the bullseye on his back for Pennsylvania Democrats to target. And Trump promising folks $5,000 if voters pick MAGA over Democrats in November. I am…

The transition from Comerica to Fifth Third is a mixed bag. One of my accounts is still in transition. It does not help when you talk to someone in customer service who is on another continent across the ocean. Frustrating for sure. _____ In his latest TV ad, MAGA Gov. Greg Abbott attacks local government…

I think it is a great thing for Democrats that Trumpapalooza is coming to Texas. It is really Trumpapaloser. It brings home Donald Trump’s Iran war that he is now calling “small potatoes.” High prices at the gas pump. Home insurance skyrocketing. Data centers. ICE thugs. Lake America. New America. You get the picture. See…

I am thinking H-Town Mayor John Whitmire is pleased this Labor Day morning with the Chron E-Board take written by Opinion Editor Evan Mintz. See the featured photo. Here is the headline from the online take: Move over Mamdani. Mayor Whitmire is the real left-wing Labor Day hero. | Opinion Here is the sub-headline: No,…

This weekend my business and personal bank accounts and everything in between will transition from Comerica to Fifth Third. I have been preparing. It should be completed next Tuesday morning. We will see. _____ I don’t know about this. See this from the Chron: Harris County commissioners will consider a nearly 8% property tax rate increase…

Gloria Steinem is no longer with us. Her passing was the lead story on “Today” this morning. See the featured photo. I have always admired her. Her activism, brilliance, confidence, courage, and leadership. Her contributions toward equality were massive. She was an icon. She was a great American. _____ I said this 10 days ago:…

Yesterday was one of those days where “I get the news I need on the weather report. I can gather all the news I need on the weather report,” from Paul Simon. I watched KPRC Channel 2 News, and they did their best to prepare us for Tropical Storm Edouard. It missed H-Town as it scooted…

Conservative commentator Erick Erickson tweeted this recently: The only thing for which Paxton has ever shown prodigious energy is philandery and possibly corruption. He is a lazy candidate in a heated race, and laziness is not a flaw you can fundraise your way around. In the primary, I argued that Paxton could beat John Cornyn…

Here is what U.S. Sen. John Cornyn said about cheating, crooked Ken Paxton a few days ago: “Paxton’s a poor campaigner. He’s lazy and doesn’t raise money. And he basically is not offering a very compelling case for his election. He’s making this harder than it needs to be. But so be it — we…
