This is the headline of the online Chron E-Board take today on another challenge H-Town Mayor John Whitmire is facing: Houston audit reveals a bloated, inefficient city government. Now Whitmire must trim the fat | Editorial The featured photo is from the hard copy Chron. This is how the E-Board take ends: Whitmire is attempting…

I am talking about a big nope here. The Houston Texans are floating the idea of public financing for a new stadium. Good luck with that. I don’t even think there is support for public financing of major renovations over at NRG. The NFL makes a ton of money for Sunday games, Sunday night football,…

It looks like the Harris County Democratic Party has moved to a new location. I got this yesterday: We’re excited to invite you to our new space at 3302 Canal St., Houston, TX 77003. Join us on Sunday, February 23, 2025, to explore the new office and connect with fellow community members. The location is about four…

I found this quite baffling. This is on the front page of today’s Chron hard copy: Gov. Greg Abbott has asked the Texas Education Agency to investigate after a local Moms for Liberty chapter alleged that teachers at Houston ISD’s Bellaire High School have been “socially transitioning” a student. Has Gov. Abbott’s staff told him that TEA…

This is from your public service announcement department. See this very useful piece from the Chron: In order to make a difference in Houston, you don’t necessarily need to run for office — you just need a seat at the table. Houston’s boards and commissions quietly advise officials and shape city policies on a wide…

Sorry for the delay. Something came up. Commentary generally refrains from discussing the ongoing turmoil and corruption in Washington, D.C. While I stay informed, I prefer to let others express their concerns. Yesterday, the new Attorney General announced charges against the New York Governor and New York Attorney General related to immigration matters. However, it…

The Chron E-Board has a take on the City of H-Town finances. See the featured photo. Here is a part: In fact, in 2010, Houston voters went to the polls and agreed to raise taxes on themselves in order to address Houston’s drainage issues, along with our pocked streets, which torture our tires and suspension…

I got The Epoch Times in the mail yesterday. See the featured photo. It apparently is a far-right rag. I have no idea why I got it. Not because of my voting record. Not because of my online purchases. Not because of my Commentary views. I do follow a couple of far-right groups just to…

Folks know that Commentary likes to talk about the ads that run during the Super Bowl. I was pretty much underwhelmed last night. First, let me say it was a cool move to let Jon Hamn and Bradley Cooper introduce the Chief and the Eagles. On the ads, the weird tongues from the Coffee Mate…

Yesterday, I watched Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo respond to the dismissed charges against her three former aides. See the featured photo. She was on her A-game. She praised the attorneys from the Attorney General’s office. She slammed Rachel Hooper, a top Texas GOP lawyer who helped lead the investigation against the three who were…
