Folks know that Commentary has had the flat screen tuned to the coverage of the Winter Olympics for the past couple of weeks.  I have to say that all the events that have been covered have gotten my attention. Cross country skiing, biathlon, the skiers that fly in the sky, snowboarding, slalom, hockey, speed and…

MAGA continues to hit an all time low on the morals scale. See this from the Chron: U.S. Rep.

“Keep hope alive!” “I am somebody!” We lost a great American. Rev. Jesse Jackson was a powerful force in American politics. A historical figure. A respected worldwide leader.

We have consistently pushed the African American issues…

I took my mail ballot to the post office yesterday. Early voting in person starts in six days. The Chron has a hard copy story today mentioning U.S. Sen. John Cornyn hoping to get endorsed by Donald Trump. Getting late for Sen. Cornyn. Don’t feel sorry for this arsehole who morphed into a MAGA shill.…

The Cong. Jasmine Crockett for U.S. Senate campaign is now running ads on KPRC Channel 2. I saw it this morning. It is a good ad that includes animation. I think it will be effective. I am sure any minute now her haters will tear the ad apart. _____ Folks know Commentary gets info from…

This was expected. See this from the Chron this morning: Former Houston City Council member Amanda Edwards is suspending her full-term campaign for Texas’ 18th Congressional District, a week after suffering a decisive loss in the special runoff election for the remainder of the term.
