Bay Area Houston

OUCH! $575,000 down the drain.

Ft Bend County Judge KP George was found guilty of money laundering, a third degree felony punishable by 2-10 years in jail. He was guilty of funneling $46,000 from his donors to his personal account. That is less than 10% of what he spent on legal fees in his defense. He funneled $575,000 from his donors to three attorneys, Rusty Hardin, Jared Woodfill, and Terry Yates. Yates and Woodfill pictured to your left.

Rusty received $125,000, Yates $110,000, and Woodfill received $340,000 all for naught. These expenditures were from 7/24 – 2/26. During that same period he spent $660,875 most on legal fees. Prior to the court case George was a Democrat but changed to the Republican Party because it was probably more inline with his Republican Christian values. (lol) Democrats applauded the move and was glad to see him out the door. Unfortunately for George he was beaten like a wet mop in the Republican primary and will be removed from office after his sentencing.

I am sure KP will be thanking all of his donors for their hard earned money that ended in a conviction.

Texas is being run by Christian billionaires and millionaires like Middleton.

Senator Money Mayes Middleton, currently representing the Bay Area, is using his personal wealth to win the Republican nomination for Texas Attorney General. Middleton claims to be a man of Christian faith yet speaks with the jawbone of an ass(hole). He might want to read that book he carries around about it being easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God.

Since Jan 2025 Middleton has raised $15,182,681 for his primary race. Of that total 90%, $13,732,000 came from his own pocket. This isn’t the first time Middleton has used his personal wealth to win a seat in Texas Politics. In fact it is his third. He spent over $2 Million of his own money to win the Republican nomination for Texas House District 23. That race should have cost no more than $500,000 if it was competitive (it wasn’t). Then when Senator Larry Taylor retired, Middleton spent another $2 Million to win the Senate seat. Middleton has plenty of money to throw around to those willing to be like the image of Middleton, a white wing Christian nationalist.

Here are his largest donations:

Just an FYI. I am a Democrat. I’m a board member of a local, very active Democratic club. I was a Delegate to the National Convention in 2024. I’ve been active since 1992.

And I can’t stand former CCISD Trustee Scott Bowen and for very good reasons. You can review the many reasons to keep Scott out of the Texas House at bayareahouston.net/ScottBowen or click on the tab above titled “Scott Bowen”. Share it with your friends. If by chance I have posted incorrect information, please make a comment so I can correct it.

BTW. In the past I have supported candidates regardless of party affiliation for non partisan races including CCISD, City of Houston, and local city governments.

Unlike his primary opponent, Bob Mitchell, Scott has little, if any, political skills which are needed to be a State Representative. His performance on the School Board was chaotic resulting in his defeat in 2025 by a large margin. He lacks the skills to work with others except those in his own party and even that relationship has had problems. He championed school vouchers and book banning. Even today he continues to recruit unqualified candidates for the school board. He has a very disturbing relationship with extremist organizations and billionaire donors.

Our district has elected a Republican to represent the area for almost 30 years and we have little to show for it. Home, auto, and health insurance are through the roof. Electricity rates continue to skyrocket. Vouchers are draining our schools. Taxes are out of control. If we want change we need to change our voting patterns.

There is much, much more about Scott and his inability to address these problems, so take a moment to read about Scott Bowen, take a stand, and do us all a favor. Vote for someone else.

Well I had hoped the Conservatives in the Bay Area would have taken a stand. Instead they took a knee.

This is sad. Former CCISD Trustee Scott Bowen, after a decisive rejection for re-election, defeated the former President of the Bay Area Houston Economic Partnership for the Republican nomination for State Representative. Bowen has little if any political skills besides doing what he is told. Bob Mitchell had everything you needed in a State Representative, political experience, business connections, and politician connections. Not a bad set of qualifications for any candidate for office.

Mitchell claimed he is a “Trump” Conservative. Personally that isn’t a great selling point for this election cycle and it obviously didn’t work with the voters. Mitchell lost 75-25. Bowen on the other hand is no conservative and he offers little to the business community. He will be a yes man for Abbott if both are elected. The Bay Area has been represented by a Republican for over 30 years and yet we face huge issues. Our schools are being underfunded (again) especially with the voucher scheme. Home insurance rates are through the roof. Health insurance costs are sickening. Electricity bills are shocking. Bowen has no skills to address these issues and we will continue to pay for it. Literally.

Over the last 30 years, under republican rule, I cannot remember one single town hall meeting by an elected official. They have neglected us and we are paying for it. As I have said before, there is a better candidate running. On March 3 it was Bob Mitchell.

On March 4 it is Albert Wittliff.

In Texas it is legal to record a phone call as long at least one person is aware the call is being recorded.

Councilman Lowry was aware the call between himself and Councilman Joe Compian was being recorded and now it is public. Why Lowry thought there was an need to record his conversation with Compian will not be known but it was probably to fish for evidence of criminal activity by the Mayor, Council Members, Staff, and employees of La Marque. He didn’t get anything. Again. As Lowry has stated over and over again he has been the Chicken Little of La Marque making baseless claims of bribery, illegal activity, etc etc for over 5 years and yet he has no evidence whatsoever. You can listen to the call here.

So he secretly recorded Compian probably with the intent to finally find evidence of unlawful actions but instead he found squat. You can listen to the conversation with Lowry egging on the conversation pressing Compian for information. Compian can be heard bad mouthing the Mayor and City Council to the joy of Lowry but gives him nothing concerning any illegal activity. It’s a mess and Compian might want to break his ties with Lowry once and for all because there is more to come. Including the following.

Yesterday Lowry posted yet another crazy video claiming he is now a badged law enforcement officer, working closely with the Governor and the non DEI members of the Texas Rangers. (He’s not) He claims he has subpoenaed power. (he doesn’t) He is flashing his badge that he bought from the Dollar Store and claiming he will be making arrests in the next 48 hours. (He isn’t). His video even has boo-ing and applause. (It’s fake) Lowry is like a door in an old barn. He is unhinged. You can watch that video here.

What a mess. The next council meeting ought to be interesting because there is a new Sheriff in town.

Praise the Lord. The video of the discussion can be viewed here at 1:35:24.

According to Senate Bill 11 school boards are required to have a record vote on whether to adopt a policy to create a period of religious study by March 1. This bill was sponsored by our own Senator MAGA Mayes Middleton. This wasn’t about religion. It was about whether it was necessary, and it isn’t.

According to the invited speaker students have ample time to pray in line with the 1st Amendment of the Constitution. Besides the fact that students can already pray, and gather together, and create religious clubs, the bill requires, not only consent by the parents, they must waive their Constitutional rights to take action against the school board over the policy. (Watch the video for the exact wording.) This would put the district in a difficult position of limiting the rights of parents for a problem that doesn’t exist.

The entire video on the issue lasts just a few minutes with the Board voting unanimously to opt out of a religious period and continue providing students the freedom to pray. CCISD joins other school boards and Texas faith leaders across the state in opposition to the bill.
