La Marque Councilman a No Show at Trial, Posts Racist Message

June 15, 2026

I hate the State for it’s lack of protection for the common man.

La Marque City Councilman Joseph Lowry, AKA Chicken Little, chickened out on trial today. Lowry is being sued for harassment and other counts by Councilwoman Kimberly and former Councilman James Ross. Lowry didn’t show up and isn’t expected to show up leaving his attorneys, multiple, to carry his jock strap. He re-post the post to the right just a few days ago. It is clearly racist, using the N word, and comparing Blacks to “nappy headed future watermelon felons”. It is disgusting. Anyone who would post this would be fired.

Today there were a number of discussions in the morning with jury selection in the afternoon. The trial started at 2:00 PM with the first witness, Kimberly Yancy testifying till the end of the day. She is expected to return to the stand in the morning. Here are some notes I took.

  • Yancy’s attorney laid out his case. It is about emotional distress, harassment, stalking, and mental anguish.
  • Lowry’s attorney put up 3 post by Lowry claiming “This is why we are here” and it’s all about free speech protected by the first amendment of the Constitution.
  • Under testimony Yancy said there are 600 documented cases of harassment by Lowry
  • Including harassment of her, her husband, her children, the school she worked at and even her church
  • She filed a suit against Lowry in 2022 for a Temporary Restraining Order
  • That suit was settled with an agreement between the two to not harass each other, personally, or online.
  • Lowry has since violated that agreement
  • She has never had to deal with harrassment
  • She (they) bought a firearm for protection, they never had one before or the need to have one
  • Yancy mentioned her and her family being called thugs, ghetto ass, and lowry vowing to put her in prison
  • Claims Lowry has doxed her, posting her SSN, address, and other personal information
  • Claims that her kids were invited to dinner by Lowry to break bread (my words) It did not go well
  • Called her kids pedophiles
  • He created a Facebook page about her
  • Says it was the most demeaning time in her life

Lowry’s attorney crossed examined her immediately raising his voice attacking.

  • Claims Yancy referred to Lowry as a KKK member.
  • Attacking Yancy for not contacting Lowry prior to filing suit
  • Claimed Yancy told kids at her school that Lowry killed her dog. Yancy said the students (high school) asked her if it was true that Lowry posted a video claiming this.
  • The attorneys seemed to be grasping at straws looking for a technical issue to squash the case.

Tomorrow Yancy will finish and I expect James Ross to take the stand. His case is about harassment also. That should be interesting. The trial starts tomorrow at 10:15.

Texas Democrats to Debate the “I just don’t like her” Rule at Convention

June 15, 2026

Although the rules committee of the Texas Democratic Party has recommended against this change there are ways to force it to a vote on the floor.

The socialists of the party had a proposed a rule change for the 2024 Texas Democratic Convention that would require including a “non of the above” option for the Presidential primary. It would give primary voters a way to say “I just don’t like them”. There are a number of ways using parliamentary procedures to stop votes on fringe changes to the party rules and resolutions. The Chair in 2024 used one of those procedures to stop a vote on this stupidity. Someone alerted the Chair that we no longer had quorum and a lengthy count of delegates began. It was so lengthy that by the time the vote was taken, many delegates had left, there was no quorum, and the Convention was over. As was the proposed rule change and the far left was mad.

Without a quorum the “I just don’t like her” rule was dead and for good reasons. You would think the Democrats would have other important issues to address like the attack on our free press, the war, inflation, voter suppression, Trump, etc, etc, etc. Instead they were willing to debate this incredibly stupid rule with unwanted consequences. Can you imagine if this rule actually happened and those who want perfection in their candidates for President would vote for “none of the above”. The Republican Party would have a political orgasm and would use that against us during the election.

This stupidity is being brought by the far left of the party. The same guys who kept saying in 2016 “I just don’t like her”. The same guys who said “but….Gaza” in 2024. The same guys who said “We are going to send a message to the party”. Well nearly 10 years later the message is pretty goddamn clear. All you whiny little bitches who want perfection gave us a 9-3 Supreme Court, the Iran war, families in concentration camps, attacks on the gay community, the end of Roe v Wade, pardons for the Jan 6 rioters, and all the things they are currently complaining about. Message received. Thanks.

The proposal could hit the floor if enough signatures are gathered. If you are attending the convention don’t sign ANY petitions. Concentrate on winning and taking over the House and stopping Trump from his continue damage to the country.

Movie Review: Disclosure Day

June 15, 2026

Watch it? Rent it? Skip it?

Rent it. The hype was so much better than the movie itself. I was disappointed, but at least I didn’t fall asleep. This is a Spielberg movie. You would expect that someone who brought us Saving Private Ryan, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Schindlers List would bring his magic to Disclose Day. He didn’t. It’s now ranked in the top ten of the worst movies he has created. I have to agree.

It is an interesting movie but so full of “Oh come on” moments that it was hard to enjoy. There are car chase scenes that just don’t make sense. The film editing was poor with obvious errors. Some claims”It makes you think”. Think about what? Why I spent $10 on this movie? If there was a message in the movie it was lost in the poorly formed plot. Much like a kid playing Thermonuclear War on NORADs computers the take over of a world wide TV station was just plain, what is the word?, stupid. Just plain stupid. I was waiting for someone to pull out a hand held dish to connect to the satellite and enter the computers through the back door. Yes, it was that, uh, stupid.

The movie started ok. It was interesting but fell apart as characters fell off the screen never to be seen again. It seems like Spielberg ran out of money and ideas at the end of the movie. I was disappointed. It had so much promise. I think ET was better.

Wait for it to hit streaming at a discount price.

La Marque Councilman Goes on Trial

June 11, 2026

June 15, 2026 9:00AM. 24-CV-2218 | Walter Burt, Et Al vs. Joseph Lowry. 212th District Court, Grady, Patricia.

This ought to be interesting. The case against La Marque Councilman Joseph Lowry finally goes to trial on Monday June 15. Jury selection is expected in the morning and hopefully the trial will begin in the afternoon. If you are interested you can view an excerpt from Lowry’s deposition here. This trial concerns harassment, stalking, and threats made by Lowry against a number of individuals including City Councilwoman Kimberly Yancy for violating a previous settlement.

Back in 2022 Lowry was sued for harassment by Council Member Yancy resulting in an agreement to refrain from threatening or harassing comments that would give rise to criminal action on social media, newspapers, and any media outlet not explicitly stated herein. Galveston County Case # 22-CV-0993. The current suit has a number of counts with #6 is referring to Lowry’s breach of this agreement. The counts are:

  • Breach of Contract against Kimberley Yancy 
  • Defamation
  • Harrassment
  • Stalking
  • Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress: 
  • Public Disclosure of Private Facts: 

The violation of that agreement was discussed in Lowry’s deposition. It seems like a slam dunk to me. He agreed to the settlement(Rule 11 Agreement) and he violated it. Drinks will follow the trial.

Gun Nut Extremist Runs for Congress Representing Uvalde

June 11, 2026

You have to wonder what the living f*** is going on with voters in Uvalde.

Uvalde is in Congressional District 23 currently represented by nobody since Tony Gonzalez resigned after his affair with a staffer was revealed. CD 23 runs from San Antonio to El Paso. Abbott hasn’t called for a special election for fear that republicans will lose the seat as many of their candidates have lost across the country. But Uvalde is different.

After the horrible shooting by a mentally ill kid, who had easy access to firearms, voters in Uvalde voted for the very same person who provided easy access to the firearm, Greg Abbott. 19 children were slaughtered. 2 teachers lost their lives. Tax payers paid for the destruction of the school and for a new school to be built. Families were torn apart and yet they voted for Abbott the guy who made getting a firearm as easy as walking into a Walmart and buying a military style weapon. It was as if the voters in Uvalde were giving the finger to the families of the kids who were killed.

Now to add insult to injury the Republican Party has nominated an extremist gun nut who is so extreme even the NRA keeps their distance from him. Brandon Herrera has absolutely no credible experience to run for office. He is a Youtuber. He owns a gun manufacturing company. He is an extremist. He is a UFO, Unqualified For Office and he is endorsed by Trump, the worst human being in the world since Hitler.

The Republican Party is making fun of Uvalde and at this point they deserve it.

Texas Billionaires Backing Bo French Republican Nominee for Railroad Commission

June 8, 2026

Bo French, the racist who won the Republican primary for Texas Railroad Commission is being funded by former CCISD Trustee Scott Bowen’s Billionaire buddies out of North Texas and they are spending a lot of money!

Follow me for a bit because there is some shady shit going on. Bo French, the republican nominee for Railroad Commissioner who is mired in controversy over his racist posts, has raised $2.1 Million for his race. Of this $1.6 Million comes from two individuals, Farris Wilks, and Timothy Dunn, the two billionaires from North Texas who where featured on CNN, “How two Texas megadonors have turbocharged the state’s far-right shift“.

Both have contributed to a number of PACs supporting French including the PAC Texas Freedom Fund for the Advancement of Justice and Texans United for a Conservative Majority PAC. Texans United for a Conservative Majority PAC. used to be the Defend Texas Liberty PAC until the management was caught meeting with Nick Fuentes, a known holocaust denier. Both of these PACs are funded by the two billionaires. These two donated to Bowen’s candidates who ran for the CCISD board. They gave Pete Lauzon $5000 to run. They gave another candidate $5000 but she returned it.

Texas United for a Conservative Majority (Defend Texas Liberty) gave French $100,000. Since changing their name they raised $15.5 Million with $14.7 million coming from Bowen’s Billionaire Buddies Farris Wilks and Timothy Dunn.

The PAC Texas Freedom Fund for the Advancement of Justice gave French $923,000. This PAC was created in 2020 and since has raised $16.5 Million. Of this Dunn donated $9.6 Million. Wilks donated $4.7 Million.

Another new PAC Texas Conservative Voters donated $400,0000 to French. This PAC was created in 2026 and raised $500,000 from two individuals. Luke and Timothy Dunn. Go figure.

Besides being a fucking racist, French is going to be Scott Bowen’s Billionaire Buddies Bitch.

Who is Bo French and Why it’s Important to Know

June 7, 2026

Sweet Fancy Moses!

Bo French is the former Tarrant County Republican Chair. He isn’t the most popular chair even amongst Republicans, in fact many have called for his resignation for his many racist comments and social media posts. The Texas Tribune wrote a detailed report on Bo prior to the Republican primary yet he still won running on deporting 100 million people from the United States. Even Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, Mr Extreme Far Right, has distanced himself from Bo. This guy is sick. Truly a UFO, Unqualified For Office, yet Republicans still want him as the representative of the Party for Railroad Commissioner.

Deporting 100 people from the US and attacking Jews and Muslims have nothing to do with the office of Texas Railroad Commission. The TRC actually regulates the oil industry to make sure they are not extracting oil while polluting the surrounding environment. The TRC makes sure the industry is making money but in a responsible manner. It has nothing to do with being a full blown racist mother f***er.

Besides being a racist mother f***er, Bo is running on being a part of the “Nuclear family” while being divorced from his wife. Much like Paxton that is actually a plus in the eyes of the Republican voters. Luckily Republican voters have lost all sense of moral values. They are groping in the dark looking for their moral compass and don’t really care if they ever find it. To them Bo is a winner, as is Paxton, and Trump. Bo likes to tout his “nuclear family” yet his wife is either taking this picture or has divorced his ass.

Here are a few jewels attributed to Bo:

Why the Texas Secretary of State Resigned

June 6, 2026

She may be a snake but she is not stupid.

I had a run in with Senator Jane Nelson, not physically but through the Texas Ethics Commission. I believe I caught her funneling her donors money through her husband’s company to buy a condo. Buying property with your donors money is not allowed in Texas. My complaint was the second time she was caught. You can read the details here but the results of the 2 year investigation is considered “confidential” and hidden from the public.

So why is she resigning? If you haven’t paid attention to the Secretary of State, and most of Texans don’t, it is clear what is going on. It is my belief Greg Abbott is expecting an ass kicking in November. Maybe not for his race but for his MAGAt Party and he has to do something to make it difficult to vote and limit turnout. What better way to do this than to remove people from the voting records. Or maybe takeover the large county’s voting process. Or maybe do something illegal which could land the Secretary of State in criminal court waiting for a verdict and a pardon from Abbott or Trump.

Nelson doesn’t want her record of service ending in a much needed pardon. She began her political career in 1988 almost 40 years ago. To call her a professional politician is an understatement. She will be heavily compensated for her service to the State in retirement making more than most teachers will ever see and will have free healthcare for her and her husband, the guy she funneled money to to buy a condo. She needs to run away from being Secretary of State.

See Jane run. Run Jane. Run!

Who is Don Huffines and Why it’s Important to Know

June 5, 2026

He is one of the Texas Billionaires buying a State election and recently purchased the mansion formerly owned by Jeffery Epstein.

Don Huffines is a State Senator who used his billions of dollars to overwhelm the opposition in his election to the Senate. He has run for other offices such as Congress and even challenging Greg Abbott for Governor. He lost those elections. He is considered to be right of Abbott and wrong on his purpose for running. He is now the Republican nominee for Texas Comptroller running on ending Sharia Law and putting the Jesus back into the Jesus F***ing Christ.

Like his other races the billionaire is self funding, spending millions to secure the nomination. His campaign finance reports for 2025-2026 tell a partial story. He raised a total of $7.1 Million with $3.5 million from his own pocket. But he also has a $15 Million outstanding loan from himself. He will be able to flood the media with this kind of money much like Senator Money Mayes Middleton did in the Bay Area. He also received $1 Million from a Georgia PAC, Protect Freedom. To call them a far right PAC is an insult to the far right. Moving any far right they will fall off the edge of the flat earth.

Huffines has $15 million cash on hand which is about $14 Million more than he needs. Most people don’t know what the Comptroller does including me but know this, a extreme far right multibillionaire is using his money to win the seat.
