Commentary lets folks know all the time that I subscribe to the Chronicle. I think it is important to support local journalism. That includes sports and entertainment coverage. For example, I sort of keep up with local high school sports and I learned a few days ago from the Chron sports section which high schools…

The high school student ICE protest walkouts across Texas are having an impact and are obviously effective. Why else would our moron Gov. Greg Abbott and the Texas Education Agency issue threats against educators and ISDs. From the Trib: The Texas Education Agency on Tuesday warned school districts that they could be taken over by…

Let me say that I get along with Allen Blakemore when I run into him. I think this is hilarious. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick’s MAGA consultant @AllenBlakemore tweeted this about the SD 9 runoff results: @JohnRHuffman is a piece of work. He ran against @LeighForTexas in November and got crushed 2:1, 42,000 to 19,000 votes,…

Congratulations to Christian Menefee. He will be my congressman for the next 11 months. I admit I was surprised by his margin of victory, getting over 68% of the vote this past Saturday. Wow! My voting precinct in the Heights voted 73% for Christian. I had breakfast on Saturday morning with a reporter from a…

I fulfilled my jury duty obligation yesterday. I took the METRO Red Line from Quitman Station to Preston Station, had a walk of just over three blocks, and got to the Jury Assembly Room at about 7:40 am ahead of the 8:00 am scheduled arrival time. The check-in process was smooth and efficient. At around…

I have jury duty this morning, so I don’t have much to say. _____ The Houston Housing Authority is changing its name to Houston Alliance HTX. I am not a big fan of HTX. It is not original. I would have gone with H-Town Alliance. _____ Stephania Jimenez made her debut yesterday evening as co-anchor…

The 2026 Democratic Party primary mailers are starting to hit my mailbox. I got several yesterday. One from Harris County Attorney candidate, Council Member Abbie Kamin got my attention. On the front it reads, “SHE TOOK ON GREG ABBOTT AND WON.” On the other side of the mailer, it reads: After Abbott and his MAGA…

Commentary said this yesterday: ICE is turning out to be a loser for MAGA. The media is now reporting that Border Patrol bonehead Greg Bovino has been ordered to leave Minneapolis. And this is from a Chron story today: Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday said the White House needs to “recalibrate” Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s…

I hope Neil Young doesn’t mind if I substitute a few words to his classic “Ohio” tune from 1970. Young wrote the tune in response to the Kent State shootings. I thought of the tune when I saw the video clip of the fella who was executed by the ICE thugs this past Saturday. A…

I will say it ad nauseum. The recent Greenland exercise. ICE thugs apprehending a 5-year-old. Mid-Decade redistricting. This is what folks voted for in 2024. Donald Trump just puts it out there on full display for all to see. This is embarrassing from the Daily Beast: Billionaire Jeff Bezos is sending in reinforcements to support…
