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…

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.…

Good thing Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo has good lawyers. On this contract mess, her lawyers reached out to the media to explain Judge Hidalgo’s side. The result is a front-page story in today’s hard copy of the Chron and an editorial in yesterday’s Chron. Go check them out. Yesterday was the 100th birthday of…

Commentary is having a difficult time settling on the 2022 April Fool.  Maybe the arsehole GOP Governor of Florida? How about the celebrated GOP Congressman Madison Cawthorn who has the goods on his GOP coked-up and orgy-ridden colleagues. Gov. Grep Abbott is certainly not fooling anyone with his fake deployment of the national guard. GOP…

The General is retiring. Commentary is talking about longtime Oilers and Texans beat writer for the Chron, John McClain.  He has an article in today’s Chron saying he is retiring from the Chron effective today. Wow! We will miss him for sure. In his final article he gives thanks to all the folks who helped…

Count Commentary as one who will be dropping CBS News watching. It is not much, but it does include Jane Pauley on “Sunday Morning,” sometimes “Face the Nation’” and “60 Minutes.”  CBS lost credibility when they announced yesterday that they hired Donald Trump’s former Interim Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney.  The fella is a first-rate…

Will Smith issued an apology to Chris Rock yesterday.  Smith’s standing, reputation and credibility took a major hit. This will now be part of his legacy. Oh, well. Commentary stopped watching CNN on a regular basis about four and a half months ago.  Back in mid-November I started watching the Christmas flicks on Hallmark and…

On “Today” this morning, anchor Craig Melvin’s body language and one word – “sad,” pretty much described his reaction to Will Smith’s behavior last night.  Craig was clearly disappointed, you know, black man, black on black violence thing.  On one of the biggest nights of Smith’s career and he clearly blew it. I can’t even…
