Well it looks like the only person actually breaking or bending the law is Council Member Joseph Lowry.
Lowry still owes taxes for 2024 and 2025 and he recently paid off liens against his company by the IRS and the State. This is a sitting Council Member, one that runs around calling everyone a criminal. It’s getting old. Now his wife is running for City Council, or so he says. He has enough money to run a campaign but not enough to pay his damn taxes.

This guy has been a regular at the Clear Lake Freeman Library.
Back in 2018 one of the poll workers at the Clear Lake Library was wearing an nra hat. This was just 2 days after the Pittsburgh mass shooting at a synagogue. Not only was it a violation of the election laws, it was a real dick move. He was confronted, Fox News 26 ran a story, and the County Clerk (a republican) told him to take it off.
But the Judge of the voting location defended him and would not instruct him, a poll worker being paid by taxes, to remove the hat. It turns out the nra dude was related (I believe they are married). Last election he was back at the polls still wearing that gdamn hat. So if you see him this time around ask to speak to the Judge and demand he remove whatever the hell he is wearing that violates the election code.
If that doesn’t work call the following number and report the incident. 713-755-6965. If it is a serious violation call the Constables at 281-488-4040 or walk across the parking lot and talk to a Sheriff.
I wonder who he got this stupid idea from.

Not literally but it’s embarrassing.
A grand jury declined to indict two IT workers working for Texas City. They were charged with a 3rd degree felony for impersonating La Marque City Councilman Joseph Lowry. The grand jury “no-billed” the charges and Lowry is now running around like chicken little claiming the DA’s office or whoever presented the case screwed up. WOMP WOMP.
He is also threatening the two who were charged claiming if they do not hand over some kind of information he will file a civil suit against them. Good luck with that. I have said it before, Lowry is like a constipated two year old. He ain’t gonna do shit. Lowry has made threats before and never carried them out. He made threats to me claiming I was harassing and stalking him. He claimed he was going to turn me into the appropriate authorities. He didn’t. La Marque Police Department has no record of him doing squat.
The harassment has been documented and is being reported to the appropriate authorities. LNN Reborn will continue to monitor and report any further developments involving this individual and others engaged in similar conduct.
He has made threats to the city and others and hasn’t done shit. So Monday will come and go and he probably won’t do shit and will end up full of even more shit. I’ve served on 3 grand juries. After hearing thousands of cases we averaged about a 1.8% no-bill rate. The bar is very low for an indictment. Grand jurors are not asked to determine guilt, they are only asked to determine if there is credible evidence a crime has been committed. If so, they indict and send the case to a jury. To be no-billed means there wasn’t evidence there was a crime committed.
And Lowry is pissed.

Move over Money Mayes Middleton
While our Senator Money Mayes Middleton was spreading his Christian faith to the CHINO’s (Christians in Name Only) around the state, another candidate for Texas Attorney General raised his racist head. Aaron Reitz (R) went on the attack of Middleton’s target with racist comments. From Yahoo:
Aaron Reitz, among the GOP candidates running to be Texas Attorney General, on Monday suggested without evidence that the leader of the Texas House Democrats, who is Asian, had lied during his citizenship application process and should have his citizenship revoked.
Aaron joins Middleton in making racist comments towards State Representative Gene Wu. Middleton not only made the racist comment, he double down on it and refused to apologize. As I have said in the past, the (R) behind a names no longer refers to party affiliation. It means Racist.

NOTE: I have been very critical about Traci Gibson’s run for Chair. I have attempted to talk with her about why she is running and she refused.
The new chair will take control of the Party in June, right smack dab in the middle of our coordinated campaign. To change our leadership midstream is just plain stupid. You can watch the entire forum here.
I took one for the team and watched the 90 minutes forum between the Harris County Democratic Party Chair Mike Doyle and his challenger Traci Gibson. Beside being an incredible stupid idea to change leadership mid stream the forum can be summarized easily. Mike Doyle has long, successful, political experience while Gibson has ideas for political experience. Mike knows what he is doing. He has an approved budget of $3.5 Million. He has raised money. He has brought the Party out of a huge deficit. He has reached out to clubs, organizations, and groups. He isn’t perfect but he has good experience. I trust hm. Can he do better? Sure. Maybe the Party should tell clubs like the Bay Area Democratic Movement on how effective texting is or how effective writing postcards are at getting people to vote. That might be something the HCDP could work on.
Gibson on the other hand has little experience and I believe she has exaggerated her few political accomplishments such as working her precinct. Her precinct has 2277 voters and only 51 (not 51%) turned out in 2025. That’s not working your precinct. I do not believe she registered voters as she claims but that can be found out via open records and I could be incorrect. Her lack of a Democratic voting record is troubling and her justification to this issue was more troubling. Not voting in your Party’s 2024, 2022, or 2020 primary is NOT an advantage as she claims. Her claims of working for the party is not believable. She claims to have worked robo calls. I’m not sure how you “work” robo calls and, by the way, robo calls are statistically worthless. It makes me think she didn’t work anything.
Traci also thinks she will take control in March but it is June, right in the middle of our campaign. Traci is good at being Miss obvious with simple minded comments like “we need to work together” and “We have to reach out to the youth” and “We have to win in 2026” and “We need work together” (Did I say that twice?”). It makes me think AND/OR DUH! Her endorsements are also bothering with only two organizations endorsing her, the Harris County Black American Democrats, and Area 5 which is puzzling. Why? She claims the City Controller, Chris Hollins has endorsed her. I have not seen any proof of that, and if that is actually true it is very disturbing.
We have an opportunity to win back the House and hold this damn administration accountable. Changing effective leadership is not the way to do it. Traci should work her precinct during this election and maybe run again after November. The HCDP has agreed to hire a fundraiser. Maybe if Traci loses she should ask to use her fundraising skills for this position, learn the workings of the party, get some experience, and then run.

Have you no decency sir? —Joseph Welch
Yesterday the President of the United States posted a racist video depicting President Obama and his wife as apes. As the only Black Senator in the Republican Party said it was the “most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House”. According to Trump it did not come from “the White House”. He has acknowledged it came directly from him and he has refused to apologize for it, although he has removed the post from his account.
Meanwhile State Senator Money Mayes Middleton has remained silent, refusing to address it, and continuing to accept his endorsement. Currently Middleton is running for Attorney General and is on a state tour bragging about his Christian values and his endorsement by Donald Trump. The “CHINOs” (Christians in Name Only) are eating him up. They love the fact that he himself has made racist comments to a sitting colleague, State Representative Gene Wu, and has accepted an endorsement from a felon, a liar, a cheater, an adulterer, a racist.
State Representative Dennis Paul is also silent while running for Middleton’s vacant Senate seat. He also brags about his endorsement from Trump.
Republican Candidates for Dennis Paul’s vacant seat so far have said nothing. Both claim to be Christians and “conservatives” with Bob Mitchell declaring himself a “Trump Conservative” which at this point may not be helpful in a general election. In the Republican primary it may put him above Scott Bowen. Both have been asked for a comment. If I receive one from either I will post.
In any other advanced, decent, country posting a racist video would be the end of your political career. In the Republican Party it moves you ahead in the polls.
Have you no goddamn decency sir? –me

It’s Lowry. Again.
I’ve seen this behavior before. Someone pushes the boundaries of the law or the workplace, making racist comments, sexual harassment in the workplace, making unsubstantiated allegations, making threats, etc, etc. and then all of a sudden they are born again Christians. This looks like what is happening to La Marque City Councilman Joseph Lowry.
Lowry has a long, long history of doing all of the above including making false DBAs for Council Member and one of his favorite targets. But all of a sudden Lowry’s behavior has changed and he is on a pity me tour. His “Lowry News Network” website has gone cold. He was on his best behavior acting like a productive member of the City Council at the last meeting. And just recently he posted an AI generated “Oh pity me I’m born again” post on Facebook. It’s typical behavior when something or someone has legally slapped the hell out of him.
My bet is that his behavior has caught up with him. He probably has been approached by the new Police Chief or the District Attorney, or maybe the Judge in Washington State who issued a Domestic Violence Protection Order against him. Or maybe his deposition in the various civil suits have caught up with him, exposing his conduct of harassment. So now he is asking for forgiveness or maybe a get out of jail card.
You can read the entire pity me post below.

BTW They are all white, male, Republicans on City Council which doesn’t really matter, but Council Member Chad Tressler has broken away from Trump.
I did not see that coming. League City Councilman Chad Tressler posted a long article condemning Trump and his party for leaving him. The last time he posted something this controversial was against his Council mate Justin Hicks who by the way is living a great life after resigning in disgrace from City Council. His post highlights the obvious about Trump, his socialist policies, economic disaster, tariffs, our relationship with our Allies, law and order (LOL), and more. It is a clear break ending with the old line of “I didn’t leave the party, the party left me” but also with basically “Both sides do it”.
Both sides don’t do it. We don’t tolerate candidates who make racist remarks, mock the disabled, call people petty names or tolerate those that do. Unlike the Republican Party the far left of the Democratic Party is kept in check. Their crazy ideas like the Green New Deal and Medicare for All cratered with little support from the Democrats. The craziest thing Biden did when in office was trying to pass college tuition forgiveness, which also died and rightfully so.
But Tressler’s party is Trump’s party and there is NOTHING conservative about it. Their crazy ideas have either become law via Congress like the Big Deficit Bill, or via Trump’s executive orders. Their economic policies are driving up our deficit, stressing our dollar. Their claim to being the party of law and order is laughable (Jan 6, ICE) They tolerate Trump’s lies every single fucking day and the republicans in Congress have lost their balls to keep him and his administration in check as the Constitution was designed to do. That is actually the problem. If Republicans in Congress had been doing their gdamn jobs the party wouldn’t be in this fucking mess.
But Tressler is making good points for breaking away, although a bit too late. Maybe other elected officials who are wanting to continue their political careers should do the same because with Trump in charge the Republican Party is about as popular as herpes at a hot tub party. Kudos to Councilman Tressler for breaking away.
