Qanon loser in CCISD elections calls for a recount

May 10, 2021

You really can’t make this up. I was wondering when one of the Q republicans was going to claim the election was rigged. Well it didn’t take long:

Stephanie Parizo didn’t lose by a few points. She lost by 25%. She lost in a landslide, just like Trump. Now she is acting like trump and whining about the election being rigged. Look for Ted Cruz to come in to support her stupidity. Maybe she will lead an insurrection on CCISD.
Sore loser.


Qanon fails in bid to take over CCISD

May 3, 2021

 

In the words of Meatloaf: Two out of three ain’t bad.

Two out of three “conservative” candidates failed to win their race for the CCISD board. One more win would have tipped the board towards the Q side of the aisle. These three candidates are not conservative. There is nothing conservative about fiscal irresponsibility or lying, cheating, stealing, or insurrection. These are not traits of true conservatives.

Stephanie Parizo of League City was crushed by her opponent in Distict 5. She was one of those who wanted to oust our current Superintendent. She received a $1000 donation from out of Great Falls Virginia which is just 17 miles from Leesburg Virginia. The Loudoun County School District is located in Leesburg. Our Superintendent was the Superintendent of Loudoun County before coming to CCISD. What a coincidence.

Jeff Larson, former NASA employee, seems on paper to be qualified although listing himself as a republican precinct chair should have solidified his loss in a non partisan race. We will have to watch to see if he truly is a “conservative” or a trump conservative.

In a couple of years Scott Bowen will be up for re-election. He is a trump conservative and does not deserve to be on the board.


UFOs running for CCISD Board: Christine Parizo

April 28, 2021

UFO: Unqualified For Office

From the Galveston County Daily News Opinion Page:

This is clear with Christine Parizo, a candidate for District 5. Besides a few superficial commitments, Parizo has no significant educational experience or accomplishments. To compensate, Parizo applied her self-proclaimed skills in “technology, software, and cybersecurity” to create a website filled with misinformation about the school district, a ploy to bolster her campaign by framing the district as dysfunctional.

Parizo isn’t just inexperienced, she’s institutionally ineffective. While Parizo campaigns on bringing fiscal responsibility to the district, she single-handedly cost the district $30,830.34 in frivolous lawsuits. This includes a lawsuit condemning the use of portable classrooms because they supposedly create an environment that isn’t “safe and disciplined,” even though Parizo herself doesn’t want to find the money to build permanent classrooms.

The entire opinion piece written by a former CCISD student can be found here. It is very well written. As I have mentioned before, the Qanon candidates are just plain scary.

Qs running for CCISD board?

April 15, 2021

Back in 2010 tea party members invaded the CCISD school board. The results were not pretty. Instead of level headed decisions based upon data they made short sighted, knee jerk decisions which eventually cost the district. 

Today the tea party has been replaced with members of Qanon, an extreme right wing of the extreme right wing tea party. They call themselves “Conservatives” with “conservative values” such as family values, fiscal responsibility, accountability, law and order while posing with Donald Trump who porked a porn star, created a trillion dollar deficit, abused the legal system, and incited riots. This is Q. This is what the Republican Party has become.

CCISD already has 2 members of Q on the board. Both doing what they do best, disrupt and destroy. Attend a board meeting and you will see what these people are doing. They act like this is a game. They base decisions on feelings and “owning the libs” instead of using facts, data, science, and accounting principals. Three are currently running for the board which could end in yet another disaster for CCISD, students, and teachers. 

They call themselves “Conservatives” but they are Q and in Qrazy.

Texas Lt Governor Dan Patrick: On this holy day let us prey

April 4, 2021

Texas Lt Governor Dan Patrick offers a special prayer for this Easter:

Oh Lord Let us prey.
Let us prey on the cold for they cannot flee to Cancun
Let us prey on the voters for they cannot easily vote.
Let us prey on the poor for they cannot afford to fight.
Let us prey on the sick for they are too weak to fight.
Let us prey on the Hispanics for they will not vote.
Let us prey on the Blacks for their lives do not matter.
Let us prey on the disabled for they are weak.
Let us prey on the Muslims for they are now targets of hate
Let us prey on the Asian population for they brought us COVID.
Let us prey on the Immigrants for they do not belong here.
Let us prey on the police as we flood the streets with guns.

And oh Lord
Let us prey on our supporters for they are too ignorant to know we are preying on them.


While the State is making voting harder, Harris County makes it easier

March 25, 2021

 

Harris County continues to make great strides in making voting easier.

Yesterday I had a demonstration of the new voting machines that will be in use for the May 1, 2021 elections. Unlike the “wheel” the new machines by Hart InterCivic Verity Duo are intuitive, easy to use and has a PAPER BALLOT! 

The process is easy. Check in. Enter your code via a touch screen. Insert your blank paper ballot. If necessary adjust the size of the text. Using the touch screen, select the candidates of your choice. Review your selection then print your ballot. Verify it again then scan it in the scanning machine print to leaving.

The ballots are counted and stored for recount purposes. The touch screen does NOT count votes or store your selections. It just provides an easy way to select your candidates and prints your ballot. If by chance your ballot is not correct, the election judge will invalidate the ballot and you will start over.

Couple this new system with the ability to vote at any early voting center and any voting center on Election Day and voting has become much easier. The County also provides a wait time notice on their website to determine how long the lines are and provides the voter with the ability to go to a site with shorter lines.

Meanwhile our State Representative Dennis Paul is working hard to limit mail in ballots, make voter registration more difficult, and make it illegal to pass out water to those standing in line.
