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.

This is not going to work out.
Cameron Rollwitz, a member of the extreme left wing of the Socialist Party, is running for Texas Senate in the Bay Area, Senate District 11. Maybe he thinks following the new Mayor of New York, who is a socialist, will work in deep red SD11. It’s not. It never will. Voters in SD11 are not like New York voters or Austin voters. Many of them are ignorant MAGAts and scare easily especially when approached by a socialist or “progressive”.
Rollwitz doesn’t have any money. He has $107 cash on hand for a race that will require $1 Million. Rollwitz can talk a great game. Calling for “Texas Medicare for All” which is not only a bad idea, a pipe dream, it is a legal nightmare. Bernie Sanders has tried to get some type of M4A for 40 years and has failed. Medicare is a federal program, not a State program. It’s not that the idea has merit it’s that Rollwitz has absolutely no political skills or experience to spearhead this effort and make this a reality.
The talking points of the election season is the cost of living in the district. Health insurance, auto, home, are skyrocketing making it difficult to buy a home or to sell a house or to buy a house. Groceries continue to rise and yet he is running on high speed rail, internet access, and unattainable ideas like M4A. WTF?
Rollwitz has been able to convince a few organizations to endorse him over his opponent including The Caucus and the far left Houston Progressive Caucus. Rollwitz voting record is questionable because I can’t find his voting record. His comments and signs are concerning. Is he a Democrat or not? It really doesn’t matter. If by chance he would win the nomination he will never get a chance to debate his republican opponent and if he did he would embarrass the crap out of the party. He is not a serious candidate and deserves nothing from his opponent.
Rollwitz should drop out and take his own advice. Go build your own party and keep us informed.

As my dad would say when I had the hood of the car propped open “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!”
Our School Board is running well. There is no drama. There are no partisan conflicts. There is no Scott Bowen. This is good. Ever since Scott was removed from office the Board seems to be running on all cylinders, not perfect, but running well. Trustees Arturo Sanchez, Position 3 and Jamieson Mackay, Position 2 have filed for reelection. This is good for the community, the district, parents, teachers, and students.
Personally, as my dad would say, if it’s not broken, don’t fix it. And don’t run against a Trustee that is doing the job under extreme conditions. For the last 30 years education funding has been cut and that continues to this day with candidates (Scott)calling for abolishing public education funding without providing an alternative solution. Our Trustees will have a huge challenge in the next few years with vouchers expected to be expanded further eroding funding for our schools. This is the time for solid, experienced, leadership on the Board. We just can’t afford to change. Literally.
Unfortunately former CCISD Trustee Scott Bowen won’t go away. He has recruited another highly partisan candidate to run against Arturo Sanchez. Gabriel Frank Gonzales II, a precinct chair in the Republican Party, has filed to run against Sanchez. There are many reasons not to vote for Mr. Gonzales including his relationship to Bowen, his work history, and his position at a Charter School. God bless Gonzales for running but we really don’t need a challenge to a highly respected Trustee.
This isn’t the first time Bowen has recruited candidates to run against sitting Trustees. He recruited four unqualified candidates and the voters rejected them all and for very good reasons. Then in 2025 they rejected Bowen, for very good reasons. So once again, we will have to go to the polls to protect our public schools.

It’s another lawsuit against Lowry.
The case #202107817 filed in Harris County is set for trial on Feb 9, 2026 in the 333rd Judicial Court. This is Martin, Tomczak vs Six Brothers Concrete Pumping concerning “corporate and personal bullying”. Sound familiar? It was filed 5 years ago, was dismissed, then reinstated. Court cases are open to the public. It will be interesting to see if Lowry will take the stage then act like the victim. He is good at that.

It’s Lowry. Again.
La Marque City Councilman Joseph Lowry is being sued by a number of individuals as well as “all residents of Galveston County, Texas.” That is interesting. Case # 24-CV-2218 | Walter Burt, Et Al vs. Joseph Lowry trial date was set for 1/26/26 but has now been delayed till 5/18/26.
The Judge has issued the jury preliminary instructions. It is a very interesting read. You can read the entire instructions here. This looks like a summary paragraph:
“The plaintiffs allege that defendant has been posting harassing, defamatory, threatening and stalking statements on Facebook. The plaintiffs claim these posts have affected their daily lives and businesses. The defendant operates a news page, personal page, and numerous other pages on Facebook under various names where he posts statements about the plaintiffs.”
According to the instructions there are six counts the jury must make a decision on. Count six, Breach of Contract against Kimberley Yancy is interesting. 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 I bet count six is referring to Lowry’s breach of this agreement. The counts are:
So breakfast tacos will be delayed till May.

You might recognize some of these names. And you might be disappointed.
Traci Gibson is a newly appointed Precinct Chair with a sparse Democratic voting record. She didn’t vote in the 2020, 2022, or 2024 primary. She hasn’t been in the field. She hasn’t been involved with county politics. She woke up one morning and decided to lead the 3rd largest county in the United States as Chair of the Democratic Party. As one current Precinct Chair has said:
We should also ask ourselves: Why is she running? {But please don’t ask her why she’s running. She’s blown up on a few people for simply asking this simple question. And more importantly — who is behind her? The speed and style of her campaign suggest that she has powerful backers. Some have speculated about outside influences. Regardless of who’s funding or guiding her, it’s clear that her run is highly coordinated. Her lack of disclosure about her true intentions during meetings with Precinct Chairs — many of whom were invited under the impression that the meetings were not campaign-related — is especially troubling.
So who is funding her campaign. Gibson did outraise our current Chair who was busy raising money for our party and for the 2026 elections in November. According to her report she raised $70,028, spent $17,416, and has a Cash on Hand of $52,612. There are a couple of names on the list of donors that concern and surprise me. Here are the donors who gave $500 or more for a total of $42,000.
By the way, our Chair has provided steady leadership. He is doing what he is supposed to be doing, raising money. He pulled our Party out of a financial hole. He has served the Party honorably. As my dad used to say when I had the hood of the car open, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!”.

This what happens when we allow christian nationalist billionaires control our lives.
Bay Area’s State Senator “Money” Mayes Middleton, after spending millions of his own money to secure his State House seat and State Senate seat, he now has his bank account set on becoming Texas Attorney General. In his first campaign finance report Mayes raised $973,735, spent $7,133,607, and has a Cash On Hand balance of $5,098,210. None of this makes cents but….
The $973,735, does not include Money’s personal fortune. Of the total raised $11,819,527, $10,000,000 came from his own pocket. Of the $973,735 actually raised, $720,393 came from out of the district including, Midland, San Antonio, Dallas, and others. This represents 74% of his total fundraising efforts. 54% of this actual fundraising, $526,653, came from deep pocket donations of $10,000 or more.
If elected Money has pledged to rid the State of “Sharia Law”, which doesn’t exist in the United States, and replace it with his Christian Nationalists ideologies whether you like it or not. He will promote law and order, except for the Jan 6 rioters and he will replace Ken Paxton’s on the ass of Trump. That is what money can do for “Money” Mayes Middleton.
Summary:
| Total Raised as Reported | $11,819,527 | 100% |

Mitchell also has a $50,000 outstanding loan.
Since announcing for State Representative for the Bay Area Bob Mitchell has raised $91,831. 60% of the total, $55,719, came from Associated Republicans of Texas Campaign Fund out of Austin. They have provided research, mailers, push cards, and polling.
$25,000 came from Joan McKinney of Norman Frede Chevrolet. These two donors make up 88% of all his donations. 74% of his donations came from out of district. At least he isn’t taking money from billionaires with ties to Nick Fuentes.
There is a better choice in this race.

Bowen’s Billionaire Buddies are back.
Scott Bowen continues to fund his campaigns with money from his billionaire buddies, Timothy Dunn and Farris Wilks. As you may remember Dunn and Wilks created Defend Texas Liberty PAC and funneled money into the CCISD elections after encouragement from CCISD Trustee Scott Bowen. The PAC later disbanded after being caught meeting with Nick Fuentes a known white supremacist. But they are back under a new name Texans United for a Conservative Majority. (TUCM)
Bowen raised a total of $122,751 since running for State Representative. Of that amount, 48% came from two donors. $25,000 came from TUCM and $35,000 came from Texans for Lawsuit Reform. TLR has raised millions to support candidates who will pledge to limit our rights to our civil court system. More on them later.
80% of his donations, $97,638 came from out of the district with about $1000 coming from out of State. Over $1000 came from Chris Russo. As was posted before:
Chris Russo. (More on Chris below) Director of Texans for Strong Borders. Was seen chauffeuring Fuentes to and from the meeting at Pale Horse Strategies this month. Multiple people, who asked not to be named to avoid drawing the attention of white nationalists, told the Tribune that Russo has ties to Fuentes’ so-called “groyper” movement.
Bowen also has a $50,000 outstanding loan. There are better choices for House District 129. Do your own research.

What the living f***?
Alex Mealer, formerly known as Alexandria Del Moral Mealer, is running for Texas Congressional District 9. She is pictured here dressed up like a cartel member. Like a tough guy. Macho. This pic is from her TV ad. She is running against State Representative “Little Baby” Briscoe Cain. Both of them are gun nuts. Both have little regard for those killed by gun violence including the 19 children killed in Uvalde. It is sickening but this is the republican shoot first, forget later, party.
Mealer ran against Lina Hidalgo back in 2022 and lost by a slim margin. Mattress MAGAt Mac spent millions trying to get her elected. After losing, as many republicans did she whined and sued. And lost. So now she is going to run as a cartel member. There are better candidates to vote for. Go do your own research.

Don’t hold your breath for Councilman Lowry to file a suit against the city. He is like a constipated two year old. He can’t do shit.
The Chicken Little of La Marque Texas has failed. Womp Womp. The Galveston County News had an excellent article about the failed recall of the Mayor. If you can, take a few minutes to read it, but let me summarize. Lowry is blaming the City Clerk for not giving him enough signature sheets. He had plenty and wasn’t able to even fill those up. He is blaming the city and threatening a lawsuit as I posted earlier, demanding 100 billion dollars. (actually it is $750,000) He acknowledged the recall effort failed. According to the article:
Lowry late Tuesday had not provided documentation supporting his allegation of criminal conduct. The city clerk had not been charged with any offense, and no law enforcement agency had announced an investigation related to the matter.
So now what? Lowry ain’t going to sue anyone for anything. If he does he will have to go through a process called discovery and disclose all of his so called “evidence” of the crimes the Mayor committed as Lowry claimed on the recall petition. Lowry ain’t that stupid. If he is and does file suit then his 5 years of undercover investigative journalism against the Mayor will finally pay off, for everyone but Lowry. It will probably show he was passing around false information on the petition, possibly a felony offense. But don’t hold your breath. He has made threats before and hasn’t done shit. Much like Chicken Little yelling “The sky is falling” Lowry is yelling “Criminal Activity”.
Lowry is now in deflection mode and has resorted to posting pictures of himself with wads of cash, cash he could have used to pay his damn taxes and liens by the IRS, the State, and the City.

This is getting old.
La Marque City Councilman Joseph Lowry, AKA Chicken Little, is at it again. According to Lowry he has been running in circles for 5 years exposing criminal activity, bribes, cabal-ing, yada yada and yet like a constipated two year old he ain’t doing shit. Now he is threatening a lawsuit against the citizens of La Marque because he needs a distraction from his failed recall petition.
Lowry has posted a confidential pre-suit notice to social media. (so much for being confidential) It looks like an AI generated legal document. He is good at using AI. He makes claims about the City Clerk, the Mayor, and others claiming civil rights violations, yada, yada. He is demanding restitution of $750,000 from the citizens of La Marque. It’s hard to read. It makes you want to sit back and tell Chicken Little to cluck off and STFU. Seriously. This is embarrassing. Hell I’m embarrassed for writing about it.
This pre-suit is about Lowry’s failed attempt at obtaining enough signatures for a petition to recall the Mayor. Lowry has until Tuesday to submit his petitions for the County to verify. As I said earlier he has probably failed and is now looking for a scapegoat. I doubt he will make his petitions public for the citizens of La Marque to see, but if he files suit he will be forced to submit to discovery. If you want to waste some time you can read the entire document at The Mark, a Facebook page documenting Lowry’s daily stupidity. I suggest doing something more productive like eating day old sushi at your local gas station.
The City Council meeting on Monday ought to be interesting.

La Marque’s Chicken Little is clucking mad!
La Marque City Councilman Joseph Lowry might have failed to obtain enough signatures to force a recall of the Mayor and he is madder than a wet hen. Mr. Chicken Little went to social media to blame the City Clerk claiming he wasn’t given enough signature sheets. These sheets cannot be copied and must be obtained from the city and have a city stamp.
According to a whiny ass video, Mr. Little posted to Facebook, the clerk gave him enough petition sheets for 750 signatures. (I thought he only needed about 500 signatures) He now claims he asked for more and she refused. Of course he claims she is a “criminal”. He claims he whined to the police and they wouldn’t take any action. He then starts whining about the tax increases and some other crap once again calling everyone a criminal including the Mayor, Council Members, and the Clerk. He even starts blaming the District Attorney’s office and demands action. The video is 6 minutes of red faced stupidity. He might want to check his blood pressure.
I wouldn’t trust Mr. Little’s word. He is probably just trying to blame someone else for his stupid stunt that probably has failed miserably. I bet he obtained less than 100 signatures. Of course he can make the signature sheets public record to prove that I am full of wit but you have a better chance of Lowry passing up a donut shop without stopping.
The City Clerk needs to tell Chicken Little to cluck off. Lowry was last seen running around in circles, flapping his arms and yelling about someone being a criminal.

According to the Texas Department of Insurance the Commissioner, Cassie Brown, will be retiring in 2026. She held the position after only 4 years and will leave the state in a horrible situation with rates skyrocketing across the state especially in the Bay Area. Brown was appointed by Governor Abbott. She will leave her position on February 2. Abbott will appoint a new one to serve until the election in November.
Brown was the speaker for the Clear Lake Chamber of Commerce back in the Summer.
After telling the business community how wonderful the TDI has protected the consumer from the rising cost of insurance and explaining why rates are so high, she left the stage, took no questions, and quickly left the building. Many in the crowd were not happy especially those at my table.
Insurance on all levels will be on the ballot this November. We need to demand action from our candidates. I have made it clear that this insurance issue is NOT a political issue. It affects all of us no matter what side of the aisle you are on. It affects owners, businesses, schools, insurance agents, realtors, and others.
It’s not a political issue but only our politicians can address this and if our elected officials refuse to address the problem, then we need new politicians. Elections are coming in November of 2026. Know who is running and vote your pocket book and your values. Demand all candidates running for office address the issue with their plans to solve the problem.

There are two Republicans running in the Texas House District 129 primary who will face a Democrat in November. I’ll cover the Republicans today.
For the last 10 years the Bay Area has been represented by State Representative Dennis Paul. The cost of living in the Bay Area has skyrocketed with insurance rates going out the roof including home, auto, and healthcare. Paul, who sat on the Insurance Committee, did nothing to curb the increases. He is now running for State Senate. We deserve better.
Scott Bowen. CCISD voters probably remember former CCISD Trustee Scott Bowen. They voted him out of office last year and the district has been better for it. He brought division, chaos, and bigoted attacks on parents, teachers and students. I have nothing good to say about Bowen. Not only does he wear suits 2 sizes too small, he is an awkward individual and has proven to be unable to govern or lead but he will be able to follow orders from Greg Abbott. He will do what he is told and nothing else. If elected I see Bowen going no where and providing no relief to us. He will simply take a knee to Abbott. (literally) Republicans in the Bay Area deserve better.
Robert Mitchell. I was taken back a bit when I saw Mitchell’s campaign sign advertising himself as a “Trump conservative”. I’m not sure if that is going to work in his favor but then again, WTF do I know, Republicans voted for him three times already! Unlike Bowen, Mitchell has the background to legislate. From his website:
Bob Mitchell, former president of the Bay Area Houston Economic Partnership, is a Republican candidate for Texas House. Bob is a strong conservative, trusted community and business leader, two-time Governor Abbott appointee, graduate of Dobie High School, and a proud lifelong resident of House District 129–the Bay Area of Houston encompassing parts of Clear Lake, El Lago, Friendswood, La Porte, League City, Nassau Bay, Pasadena, Pearland, Seabrook, Shoreacres, Taylor Lake Village, and Webster.
I have to agree. I don’t believe the business community is behind Bowen. If they were he would still be a CCISD Trustee but is that enough for Mitchell to win? I thought this race would be Conservatives vs MAGAts but his campaign signs make me think differently.
It would be nice if the real Conservatives would take back their party. Everyone in HD129 deserves better!

This will determine if Galveston County returns to law and order or continues the slide into lawlessness. In defense of Jennifer Ott I bet she had no idea who Joseph Lowry is and will probably treat him like a used diaper in the future.
Two individuals are running for Galveston County DA, Jennifer Ott and Kenneth Cusick. Cusick is currently the DA. He was appointed by Governor Abbott and is endorsed by Abbott. Jennifer Ott has an incredible resume for the job. You can review her resume here. Cusick also has an impressive resume. You can read that one here.
Cusick has support from Sheriff Fullen. Fullen has a history of breaking the law (documented at https://therealtruejimmyfullen.com) to the point that his law enforcement license was suspended. He also posted a fake $100,000 loan to his campaign finance report during his election. The ethics complaint filed against him was deemed to be “confidential” therefore the action the Texas Ethics Commission took against him is now secret. After the complaint Fullen simply filed an amended report without the loan. Yep, law and order my ass.
Again Ott has a very impressive resume especially her vision for Galveston County which focuses on integrity within the office. From her website:
Jennifer Ott believes the Galveston County District Attorney’s Office should be beyond reproach. There should never be a question as to what their ethical responsibility is to the Office and more importantly, the community and those involved in the legal system. When others see leaders making ethical decisions being transparent they are more likely to follow suit. Jennifer will implement comprehensive policies and procedures to reinforce ethical behavior. The community, whether it is the citizens, law enforcement, victims, defendants or law enforcement should never have to question whether the District Attorney’s Office is doing the right thing.
Cusick on the other hand is focused on the boogey man issues like immigration and “wokeness” (whatever that means). I doubt if he is really interested in immigration. If he was he would be going after all the businesses in Galveston County who employ those who might be here illegally like homebuilders and restaurants.
One thing I might suggest for these two is to be afraid of La Marque City Councilman Joseph Lowry. Be very afraid.

Happy New Year! Hopefully Lowry will exit the political arena and go back to paying his bills and taxes.
In 2025 Joseph Lowry made a partial payment of back taxes owed to Galveston County. According to the tax office he owed $22,460 for 2021, 2022, and 2023. On Jan 6, 2025 he made a partial payment in cash. He still owes for 2024 and 2025. Unfortunately he had more tax problem from the IRS back in 2023 and 2025 as well as the State of Texas in 2020. Lowry has had delinquent tax problems on the County, State and Federal level.
According to records provided by Galveston County the IRS filed a lien against his company, Six Brothers Concrete Pumping for over $16,000. In 2025 a lien was filed for over $67,000. Both liens were released by June of 2025.
But wait! There’s more! In 2020 the State of Texas filed a lien for delinquent taxes for over $10,000. He eventually paid this in late 2021. According to this document he owed over $2,500 in city taxes which completes the cycle of delinquent taxes on the Federal, State, County, and City level. Lowry likes to flash around wads of cash like he did to ABC 13 to pay his team of investigators and lawyers but he doesn’t have enough to pay his damn taxes like everyone else.
