The Chron has a lengthy piece on the Latino vote and the upcoming City of H-Town elections.  Here is a part: Councilmember (Robert) Gallegos and former Metro Chair (Gilbert) Garcia both jumped into the crowded mayoral race earlier this year. So far, however, they have faced challenges with name recognition, according to recent polling, lagging…

Central Houston sponsored a mayoral forum yesterday in the late afternoon.  Lisa Gray of the Chron E-Board was the moderator. I thought about a few years ago when the Chron abandoned their Downtown offices and moved to their digs on the Southwest Freeway. To be fair, there aren’t any media outlets located in Downtown H-Town.…

From the Chron: More than seven dozen people signed up to run in November’s City Hall elections, including 20 candidates hoping to become Houston’s next mayor. That sure are a lot of candidates for mayor. Commentary doesn’t give a rat’s arse if the Buzbee fella is running for city council. The Chron obviously does. I will be…

My Dad would have been 100 years old today. At his 99th birthday celebration in Baytown last year, we announced that we would be holding a 100th birthday celebration. He couldn’t hang on for another 6 months. About a month after his 99th birthday, his health started declining. It was a struggle for him in…

Commentary is certainly not an expert on the criminal justice system. I do have some questions related to today’s featured photo. I was watching last night online as law enforcement officers surrounded the house where the bad guy was holed up.  How was that fella out on the streets to begin with?  Who dropped the…

On the HISD takeover, Commentary is not going to get all worked up about it. At this point I want better outcomes for all the students. It is up to HISD Superintendent Mike Miles, the Board of Managers, and the decisions they make. Let’s not forget. Kids are not in school yet. The first day…

Here is from the Chron today: The Texas Attorney General’s Office filed an appeal Tuesday asking the Texas Supreme Court to overturn a Travis County judge’s ruling that had temporarily blocked a new state law abolishing the county’s elections office from going into effect Sept. 1. In her order, 250th District Court Judge Karin Crump ruled Harris…

My nephew Dave texted us yesterday that he heard on Morning Joe that if Trump got indicted in Atlanta, that would make four indictments from four NL East teams. The ATL, New York, Miami, and D.C.  What is up with Philly? Former Georgia GOP Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan told reporters the following yesterday after he…

Let’s see. A few months ago, the GOP haters – those who hate President Joe Biden – wanted a special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden. On Friday the Attorney General named a special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden and the GOP haters are livid. Go figure. Folks know how Commentary feels about the Hunter Biden…

The Houston LGBTQ+ Political Caucus will hold their endorsement meeting tomorrow.  Commentary will be there. _____ The featured photo is of the new officers of the Harris County Tejano Democrats being sworn-in at their meeting last night. Judge Julia Maldonado had the swearing-in honors. The meeting was held at the Castillo Center in Near Northside.…
