Signs do not win elections. Sign wars are petty and are left to the candidate that doesn’t have much of a campaign to run. Justin Hicks is one of these candidates. A new Political Action Committee, the KickHicks.com PAC, was formed to oppose the reelection of Hicks. You should take a look at the website. It has all of Hicks’ bankruptcy documents, articles and more.
Hicks’ took some time from reaching out to constituents, house parties, and other real campaign activities to play sign games. (Hicks’ really isn’t doing any of this) The Kick Hicks PAC has signs placed near Hicks’ signs questioning his ability to be a “fiscal conservative” while being mired in debt and bankruptcy. Hicks’ campaign and supporters had to play games by cutting down the Kick Hicks signs or placing his signs in order to cover the oppositions signs. It’s petty. It’s a waste of time and all you ever get is bad publicity or a two bit blogger posting about it. I am posting about it.
Hicks’ opponent has place signs throughout the district and is meeting with voters in the area. He isn’t playing games. He is acting like a grownup.

Last year Steven Hotze, the megadonor of the Harris County Republican Party and chief election denier was indicted on multiple counts concerning……wait for it….voter fraud. According to the Texas Tribune:
Conservative activist Steven Hotze on Wednesday was indicted on two felony charges related to his alleged involvement in an air conditioning repairman being held at gunpoint in 2020 during a bizarre search for fraudulent mail ballots that did not exist, according to his attorney, Gary Polland.
A former police officer was also indicted for actually holding the repairman at gunpoint. In August of this year Hotze was charged with two more counts, Case # 188121801010 – 3 AGG ROBBERY-DEADLY WPN and Case # 188121901010 – 3 ENGAGE ORG CRIME USE/EXHIBIT DW. These are some very serious charges which could lead to Hotze spending a lot of time in jail and losing his “Doctors” license.
Hozte has also been sued by the repairman for an unspecified amount. You can read the entire petition against Hotze here. It is a great read.

In the words of Rage Against the Machine “Some of those who work forces and the same who burn crosses.”
Trump spoke to the FOP and accepted their endorsement even after he vowed to pardon the insurrectionist who beat the hell out of police on Jan 6. He, once again, talked about voter fraud even though there is no evidence of voter fraud, and the attendees loved it. He mocked Nancy Pelosi’s husband who was viciously attacked by a home invader with a hammer. Those in attendance laughed about it.
Trump has been the poster child for lawlessness and disorder and yet the police in the audience didn’t care. He is a felon, found guilty on 34 felony counts. He has been indicted for 50+ more felony charges including obstruction of justice, conspiracy to commit fraud, inciting a riot and more and yet they don’t care. He instigated an attack on the United States Capitol which killed fellow police officers. He watched for 3 hours as police officers were being attacked, crushed, and beaten with United States flags and yet they didn’t care.
These assholes have badges. They are suppose to enforce law and order. They are suppose to protect us from attacks by rioters, insurrectionists, home invaders, and lawless behavior. We are suppose to put signs in our lawn saying “Back the Blue” showing our support for these assholes.
The FOP claims to have over 300,000 members. That is a lot of assholes. With badges. I cannot believe they are all in support of trump. There are just too many good police officers in our community.
Another school shooting this time in Georgia killing two kids and two teachers. A 14 year old had access to an AR 15 style weapon and changed the lives of 5 families. He is being charged with murder and will probably spend the rest of his life in jail while the other families spend the rest of their lives missing their loved ones.
Of course the Republican Party is saying “It’s too early to discuss gun laws”. On cue the local congressman Mike Collins echoed the talking points just like Ted Cruz did after the Uvalde shooting, and Santa Fe, and El Paso, and Ft Hood, and Sutherland Springs, and others. And like Cruz, Collins will do what everyone else does after a mass shooting, he will buy a Apalachee Strong t-shirt, offer thoughts and prayers, forget, and do absolutely nothing to curb gun violence in schools, concerts, parades, churches, synagogues, Walmarts, and other public places.
Georgia Congressman Mike Collins has a history of violence in his campaign ads. He thinks it is cute or tough to shoot guns and advocate for violence. Well look what happened to your community, you sick fuck. You can view his ads below.
Do us a favor and go buy a fucking t-shirt and shut the fuck up.
It’s time we either stand up and make your voice heard or sit down and shut the hell up.

Joe Italiano has filed to run against Justin Hicks for League City Council. Italiano is currently serving on the League City Finance Committee a perfect assignment based upon his resume, which speaks for itself. See below.
Unlike Hicks who is was mired in bankruptcy and legal battles for credit card debt, Italiano is a fiscal conservative (most people are) and would bring his decades of experience as a CPA and Chief Financial Officer to the city. Take a minute to review his resume below.
I hate to beat a dead horse. It makes me look petty. But then again, I can be petty.
Yesterday Justin Hicks disclosed who loaned his campaign the $12,000 he reported in July. Turns out it was from his wife, Deborah Hicks, who is also his campaign treasurer, who also forgot to list the loan on his campaign finance report. So that mystery is solved unless the Texas Ethics Commission wants to pursue this further to determine where the money actually came from. They have the power to subpoena bank records to determine if someone else provided the money for the loan but usually they will call it a day, assess a fine, and move on.
But the discussion on Facebook has led to more questions about Hicks’ bankruptcy case. According to public records Hicks was required to disclose all his assets including back accounts, cars, and other items like guns. (yes guns. Go figure) Documents submitted to the Court shows he did not have any guns or $12,000 in cash. If you recall Hicks had his house up for sale during his bankruptcy on Zillow. Zillow posted pictures, one includes a gun rack with 2 guns, which were not reported. Failing to report information on government documents could be a felony. Ask Hunter Biden. Maybe Hicks borrowed the guns for the picture and maybe he didn’t have to disclose his spouse’s assets since he filed for bankruptcy, not his wife. I wonder if witholding information is a violation of the rules of the court.
BTW. My 5 readers might remember Hicks pulled me into his bankruptcy case that resulted in the Judge assessing a fine of $175 for violating the rules of the court. I’m not bitter. LOL. You can read about it here.
If these are his guns then it is disturbing the guns are easily accessible even with a small refrigerator that could be a step to access them. Proper storage of weapons is a conservative value. It makes me wonder what kind of conservative doesn’t properly store his weapons or is not fiscally responsible, or doesn’t vote.

I expected Justin Hicks’ ethics complaint, filed with the State, concerning an unreported $12,000 loan to be resolved quickly but not like this.
The Texas Ethics Commission (TEC) began an investigation into an anonymous loan Hicks reported on his July report. According to his report Hicks raised $0 but listed an outstanding loan amount of $12,000. None of his previous reports listed the date of the loan or who loaned the money. The TEC accepted the complaint and it looks like Hicks responded quickly to put this issue to rest………sort of.
Quick background story Back in 2009 a complaint against State Representative John Davis was filed for hiding tens of thousand of dollars behind a credit card. Instead of listing what the campaign purchased, how much was paid, and who was paid, he listed only a payment to AMEX. Davis paid all of his campaign expenses with an AMEX and then used his donors money to pay the monthly bill. Davis quickly amended his reports and, as required by law, detailed his expenditures. That amended report led to another complaint resulting in him having to repay his campaign thousands for spending his donor’s money on personal items. SC-2610197 & SC-2610215
Back to Hicks. So like Davis, Hicks filed an amended report this time listing when the loan was made and who made the loan, and like Davis, something isn’t right. According to the amended report the loan was made on 7/12/24, one day before the report was filed with League City. How could the campaign treasurer just “forget” to list a $12,000 loan, the only funds available to use for the campaign? It is concerning because the person who gave the loan is Justin Hicks wife, Deborah Hicks, and the treasurer of Justin Hicks’ campaign is his wife, Deborah Hicks.
It might be worse Hicks has recently been discharged from a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. He was required to list all assets including property, vehicles, guns (he didn’t list any), bank accounts, and anything else of value. The Texas Ethics Commission frowns upon those who hide campaign donations. Usually it costs more in fines than the amount of the hidden donations if caught. Bankruptcy is handled in Federal Courts. The TEC would have no jurisdiction in a follow up complaint but they do have the authority to demand proof of where this $12,000 came from.
It just seems strange that right after coming out of bankruptcy Hicks can suddenly qualify for a new car loan and come up with $12,000 to finance his campaign for League City Council. Maybe he is a financial genius after all.

Two of the seats on League City Council are contested. Courtney Chadwell is uncontested. He won a special election earlier in the year. He will serve for the next 4 years. Justin Hicks, the Corporal Chaos of City Council, drew an excellent challenger, Joe Italiano. Hicks isn’t very happy and, like Trump, is already whining like a little bitch. It’s pathetic. Here is his whining on Facebook:
Italiano has an incredible resume. He was named one of Houston’s Top 25 CFO’s for 2024. He serves on League Cities finance committee. Why Hicks is concerned about a voting record or where he came from is beyond me. One thing is for sure Italiano hasn’t filed for bankruptcy and he isn’t a dick about everything. Hicks claims he is a “conservative” but champions book banning and can’t hold a job or pay his fuckin bills. Hicks also has campaign finance issues with an ongoing complaint about his $12,000 loan that mysteriously appeared on his latest report.
Hicks also has a PAC formed against him. The Kick Hicks PAC has notified him of the opposition to his campaign and asked him to withdraw to avoid the embarrassment. He didn’t. Hopefully League City voters will put kick Hicks out of office.
