Trash Talk
If you live in H-Town and rely on the city to pick up your black and green bins, most likely you are encountering delays. Here is from a front-page story in today’s Chron hard copy: For the last few months, Juan Sorto and his neighbors have looked toward the curb on Thursdays and asked themselves…
Read MoreGood Friday
Commentary will spend much of Good Friday taking my Dad to his primary care doctor. A regular check-up so to speak. Go to Baytown, take him to his appointment, then take him back to Baytown. On Easter Sunday, I will spend some time at my Dad’s, then go over to One of My Best Friend’s…
Read MoreAbbott’s Border Mess
Commentary said this yesterday: Dumbarse GOP Gov. Greg Abbott’s new border inspection policy is creating supply chain issues in the country and not getting the results he expected. Folks have not figured out his endgame. Abbott’s game ended yesterday. For now. He became a national boob. The business community opposed him. Groups and associations who…

Most folks in these parts don’t ask for Commentary’s take on politics. Here is one take from me anyways. The indictments handed down yesterday to three of Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo’s top staffers is not going to help us Democrats with voters locally this November. We now have a Democratic District Attorney going after…

I have gotten all my COVID-19 vaccinations from the Health Department, but this time I had to fill out a bunch of paperwork that…

Commentary was watching the U.S. Senate confirmation vote on Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson yesterday. When Vice President Kamala Harris announced that she was confirmed, folks in the chamber including Senators and staff stood, applauded, and cheered. Cancun Cruz would not even recognize the historical significance and walked out. Cancun was on the wrong side of…
Read MoreNot A Good Look for Local Democrats
You don’t need Commentary to tell you the following isn’t a good look for Harris County Democrats. The Harris County Elections Commission is made up of four Democrats and one Republican. Of course, this all started when they hired the wrong person to serve as Elections Administrator. I can’t fault Harris County Clerk Teneshia Hudspeth…

A Texas poll came out a day or so ago and 40% of GOP voters said they would never vote for a Bush. The poll also said that the arsehole GOP AG Ken Paxton was fixing to kick Land Commissioner George P. Bush’s arse in the GOP runoff for AG next month. Commentary is not…

My buddy for many years, former State Senator Leticia Van de Putte, was struck by a vehicle yesterday while in Florida. She was attempting to cross a street. She is pretty dinged up and her husband Pete said she faces a very long recovery. Get well, old friend. This is what I call overplaying your hand.…
