BREAKING: Greg Abbott funneling weapons to Mexican Cartels.

October 18, 2022

Greg Abbott is morally crippled. After 19 nine year olds were slaughtered by a gunnut with an AR-15 Abbott has refused to do anything about gun violence or at least try to make it harder for someone to buy a military style weapon, hundreds of rounds of ammo, body armor, and a silencer.

Now according to The Guardian, Abbott’s love for guns and his policy of access to guns has made it easy for Mexican Cartels to arm themselves at the expense of Texas children.

Mexican foreign affairs ministry legal adviser Alejandro Celorio Alcántaraestimates that half a million guns annually are purchased legally in the US and then brought into Mexico illegally. About 70% of guns seized in Mexico from 2014 to 2018 and submitted for tracing had originally come from the US, according to officials with the American bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives (ATF).

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/oct/17/texas-lax-gun-laws-us-mexico-border

It is clear that Abbott and the Republican Party will not change their minds about easy access to military weapons even after the El Paso shooting, the Santa Fe shooting, Odessa shooting, the Sutherland Church shooting, and the Uvalde shooting. His love for guns and making money selling them to Cartel members is greater than his love for his own constituents.

The only person more pathetic than Abbott is the person who votes for him.

Don’t Mess with Ethics. A lesson to be learned.

October 13, 2022

The vast majority of ethics complaints filed with the Texas Ethics Commission end with a slap on the wrist, a promise not to violate the law again, and a small fine. Then there are the fines against Matt Armstrong.

Matt Armstrong is/was the treasurer of a couple of GPACs in Flower Mound Texas. He is a political consultant for “conservative” candidates. He recently resigned as chief administrator for Denton County Precinct 1 Commissioner Ryan Williams. He has been the center of controversy according to the Denton Record-Chronicle.

He had 3 complaints filed against him in 2022 and the Ethics Commission has ruled and posted the sanctions on their website today. It’s not pretty. The TEC fined Armstrong $10,000, $15,000, and $12,500 for a total of $37,500. That fine is the 2nd highest fine in the history of the TEC with a $75,000 fine issued against Harris County Commissioner Jerry Eversole many years ago. Early in 2022 the TEC fined Eric Dick, candidate for Houston City Council $30,000 and referred him to the Texas Bar.

The final orders are a bit long and complicated but there seems to be a pattern to the results of the investigation. According to one of the complaints:

The pattern of behavior shows a deliberate effort by the respondent to evade disclosure and mislead the public. The respondent also ignored the Commission by failing to timely respond to the complaint and failing to participate in the preliminary review hearing.

I believe one of the worst things you can do when a complaint has been filed with the TEC is to lie, mislead, and/or ignore the requests by the TEC staff. It’s best to just pony up to the bar, admit you made a mistake, take a fine, and move on. After reading the complaints against Armstrong it seems like he didn’t do that.

Note to treasurers: Don’t mess with the Texas Ethics Commission.

Raising Campaign Cash: Greg Abbott’s sugar daddies

October 13, 2022

Greg Abbott like most republicans have a lot of sugar daddies, many of them out of state.

According to his latest reports Abbott raised $24.7 Million which includes two $1 Million donations, both coming from out of state, Nevada and California. Over 50% of his total donations came from just 55 donors for a total of $12.6 million. Each of them gave $100,000 or more in this period alone. 189 donors, who contributed $25,000 or more, provided a total of about 70%,. About $5 Million came from out of state.

He reported over 86,000 donations yet 70% came from those who can afford to drop $25,000. That is sad.

This is who Abbott is. Bought. Paid for. An NRA suck up. A morally Krippled, Khaotic, Kruel jackass of a human being. The head of the Texas KKK. Here is a list of his donors giving more than $100,000 in this period.

Texas State Representative “Little Baby” Briscoe gets spanked by the Houston Chronicle

October 13, 2022

Texas State Representative “Little Baby” Briscoe Cain, pictured here in a recent photo at his 35th birthday, got a spanking by the Houston Chronicle.

The Chronicle endorsed his opponent Chuck Crews based upon his professional experience and the lack of professionalism of Baby Briscoe. From the Chronicle:

Fortunately, Democratic challenger Chuck Crews struck us as direct, capable and thoughtful, with a professional background that would help his constituents. A longtime petrochemical engineer, Crews said he’d put his extensive knowledge of the industry to use right away in the Legislature to make plants mechanically safer and environmentally cleaner for surrounding communities.

The Chronicle puts Baby Briscoe over their knee and gives him a good verbal whipping like his mom did at the Texas Democratic Convention. A few years ago he was flashing his concealed handgun and got his little ass thrown out of the convention center. His mother was called to pick him up. She stated: 

“I am so sorry for my son’s behavior. I have told him to not play cops and robbers in the open and to never take his toy guns out of the house. I intend to whoop his ass once I get him home.”

(she really didn’t say that)

Baby Briscoe is an asshole. A Texas sized little asshole. He is a perfect republican. He is an election denier, a liar, a gun nut, a disrespecting little child. He acts like a child on the Texas House floor. He thinks he is cute. He is a child in a grown ass man’s body. Unfortunately his district will vote for a billy goat just as long as it has an R behind his name and Baby Briscoe has an (R) behind his name.

This is who they are.

Raising Campaign Cash: Judge Lina Hidalgo

October 12, 2022
From Community Impact

Unlike her opponent, Judge Hidalgo is raising the vast majority of her donations from small donors.

Mealer raised 46% of her $4.9 Million haul from just 19 individual republican sugar daddies with 9 individuals giving $1.7 Million with donations of $100,000 or more.

Hidalgo’s report contains about 1100 pages of donations. The reports provided by the County are not easy to read. They are not searchable so it was difficult looking through 1100 pages but I tried. Hidalgo raised about $1.5 million from approximately 5500 donors. She has $2 Million remaining Cash On Hand. I found 1 donation of $103,000, a couple of $25,000 donations and a few in the $1000 range but the vast majority of the donations were from small donors.

It’s pretty clear who each will represent on Commissioners court.

Raising Campaign Cash: Sugar Daddies for Mealer

October 12, 2022

Well, David Weekley wasn’t lying about republican sugar daddies funding Alexandra Mealer for County Judge.

The reports provided by Harris County are difficult to read but I tried my best. I believe I missed some big donations and will update if needed. She has about 510 pages of donations with a remaining Cash on Hand of $1.7 Million.

According to her last report Mealer raised $4.9 Million a tad shy of what Weekley had promised. $1.7 Million came from 9 individuals including $120,000 from the MAGAt Mac family. Another $500,000 came from 10 individuals/PACs giving $50,000 each. 19 individuals/PACs gave Mealer 47% of her entire donations. The report is sprinkled with a number of $25,000 donors. Mealer definitely has the republican sugar daddy support.

Here are the top donors:

DonorAmount
Richard Weekley$350,000.00
Hassenfluk$350,000.00
Hildebrand$350,000.00
Josiah Huggins$150,000.00
MAGAt Mac$120,000.00
Chowdary Yalamanchi$100,000.00
John McGill$100,000.00
Kim Marling$100,000.00
Modesett$100,000.00
$1,720,000.00

Greg Abbott finds another scapegoat for the Uvalde Massacre

October 10, 2022

Well, Abbott found another scapegoat for the Uvalde Massacre. According to the Houston Chronicle:

The Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District superintendent, Hal Harrell, announced his retirement on his wife’s Facebook page Monday morning. The announcement comes days after the district suspended operations of its police force and placed a lieutenant and top school official on paid leave.

Abbott has already blamed the 376 law enforcement officers who showed up at the shooting equipped with armor, shields, and weapons and yet stood around listening to children dying instead of doing their jobs. Many of them will now lose those jobs. Many might be having nightmares thinking of the sounds of kids dying. Many of them need to go to hell for what they did, along with Greg Abbott.

Instead of placing blame on Abbott and his NRA party for allowing a law abiding 18 year olds to have easy access to assault weapons, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, body armor, and silencers they just simply rolled over. That law abiding 18 year old went on to kills 19 children and 2 teachers.

The Superintendent and law enforcement know better. They know that easy access to guns was the root cause of this massacre but they seem to be ok with rolling over, losing their jobs, and losing their dignity just so an 18 year old can buy weapons.

Was it worth it?

Herschel Walker is a perfect representation of the republican voter

October 10, 2022

Say what you want about Herschel Walker, because I will. Herschel is a perfect republican and one that republican voters can be proud of. He represents them in many ways. Let me give just a few:

Herschel is politically stupid. He, like his voters, are not ignorant. Ignorance can be fixed by reading a book or that thing you call “The Constitution”. No, Herschel is stupid, politically stupid and there is no fix for that. Talk to a republican about politics and you will see why he represents them well.

Herschel is a massive hypocrite. Hypocrisy has become a trait for republicans. They are proud of it. They run on it. They condemn abortion while paying for their girlfriends abortion. They defend the “Sanctity of Marriage” while screwing their intern or celebrating your 4th marriage. They call for fiscal responsibility while giving money away to their buddies. They flood the streets with guns then blame others for higher murder rates. They call for law and order while condemning those who defend law and order and praising those who incited violence on Jan 6. The list could go on and on…..

Herschel is a liar. Just like Trump. Republicans across the board are liars. They feed on their lies. They double down on lies even in the face of canceled checks, signed cards, and multiple kids from multiple women. The Republican Party has learned from Trump that lies work. Their voters believe the lies. No one tells the truth like a republican when it comes to classified documents, porking a porn star, immigration, gun violence, weather, family values, or anything they say. At this point everything they say is a lie.

Herschel is a UFO. Unfit For Office. Like many in the Republican Party Herschel has absolutely no business inside the chambers of the Senate unless he has a tour ticket. Herschel could join other UFOs like Boehbert, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Gym Jordon and many others.

If Georgia voters are stupid enough to put Herschel in the Senate at least Texas won’t have the worst Senator in the Senate anymore.

The signs of a reborn Republican Party. This is who they are.

October 5, 2022
Democrat’s signs in Fort Bend

You won’t see republican leadership denounce the defacing of political signs in Fort Bend and it Houston just like they have refused to denounce the racist comment made by trump towards Mitch McConnell’s wife, Elaine Chao. They are silent. They have been ever since trump became their nominee. They not only tolerate racism, sexism, stupidity, corruption, and acting like a bunch of dicks, they encourage it. They think it is funny and have a silent laugh about it.

This is who they are. This is the new Republican Party. Racists, homophobic, Korrupt, Khaotic, and Kruel. The return of the KKK.
