It is clear Democrats – locally, statewide and nationally – are on message opposed to the Donald Trump mid-decade redistricting grab-off in Texas.  I can’t say that about MAGA. The current MAGA congressional delegation from Texas is pretty much silent. The MAGA Texas State Senate leader on redistricting said he didn’t think the current 2021…

A mess. An unforgettable mess. Commentary is talking about the first official Texas congressional redistricting map that was unveiled yesterday. Let’s see, the featured photo includes Commentary’s neighborhood that is in the proposed 7th Congressional District. All the Heights is now in CD 7.  Acres Homes is proposed in CD 29. Most of H-Town’s East…

Folks know that Commentary lives in the 18th Congressional District (CD 18). CD 18 has been without a member of Congress for nearly five months now. We will have to wait another three months before we start casting votes for the next member of Congress from CD 18. The Hobby School just put out a…

I was searching for a take this morning, then voila, courtesy of Evan Mintz and his Chron E-Board team, they served me up a doozy. See the take they just put out: During the 2022 election cycle, Tony Award-winning hip-hopera savant Lin-Manuel Miranda traveled down to Houston to support Lina Hidalgo’s campaign for reelection. So we can…

KPRC Channel 2 News had a story this morning on City of Kerrville emergency management employees texting conversations the day before, the day of, and the day after the deadly floods a few weeks ago. On the day after, two employees, including the Kerrville city manager, referred to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in their…

Chuck Mangione is no longer with us. I bought his album in the featured photo over 40 years ago. The album includes his hit tune “Feels So Good.” _____ As a Chron hard copy subscriber, I know that Evan Mintz is now the Chron’s Editor for Opinion and Community Engagement. Here is the start of…

Just so you know how extreme MAGA is, Democrats in the Texas Legislature are now having to defend the GOP gerrymandered congressional map in the featured photo adopted in 2021. That’s f_cked up! _____ Meanwhile, the Trib just tweeted this: Tejano superstar Bobby Pulido is forming an exploratory committee for a congressional bid in South…

This just dropped. See this from the Chron: Judge Lina Hidalgo has the lowest net approval rating of any Harris County elected official, according to a study released Wednesday by the University of Houston Hobby School of Public Affairs.  The study polled 2,300 registered voters on their opinions of elected officials and potential candidates for the…

Commentary doesn’t hang much in Downtown H-Town, only when I go to Daikin Park or maybe to a luncheon event. That’s it. I may drive through Midtown on occasion. I drive into the East Downtown area a few times a month. Still, I’ve never seen anyone ride a scooter.  That is why I was surprised…

On “What’s Your Point” yesterday, the Donald Trump Texas mid-decade congressional redistricting issue was brought up and the Texas Breitbart fella doesn’t think it is a good idea. Interesting. I am pretty sure that Democrats are all opposed, like all Democrats are opposed. From what I hear, I can’t say that about all of MAGA.…
