Bay Area Houston

Oh brother. There are a boatload of republicans fighting each other for the nomination in Texas Congressional District 22 after Pete Olson quit. Many of them are politically ignorant nobodies and should not be running for any office but that doesn’t stop them from running, they are republicans after all. One in the boat is Douglas Haggard.

Haggard has raised a whopping $10,000 from one donor, himself. For a campaign that will need a million to compete in the primary Haggard has a long way to go.

Walz, Thaddeus also had a very poor showing, actually, no showing since he raised only $20,000 with $13,000 coming from his own pocket.

Republican Diana Miller raised $20,624 with $20,000 coming from her own pocket.

More reports coming as they are filed. The deadline for reports is Jan 15.

I’m one of the worst predictors in the world. I’m also one of the worst negotiators especially when buying a car. If you ever want to buy a car for more than sticker price, I’m the one to negotiate for you. I’m worst than Trump in negotiating, but back to predictions for 2020:

Republicans will get wiped out in November. The GOP has been taken over by white wing, politically ignorant, mean, rotten, racist, fiscally irresponsible, gun toting, bible thumping, hypocrites. (did I leave anything out?) There is hatred for this party and rightfully so. There is hatred for their leader, again rightfully so. They will feel this hatred in November. It’s sad. The GOP didn’t use to be like this. They used to be conservative.

Tony Buzbee will not return. After spending $13 million to get his ass kicked the only thing he accomplished was to show who he really was. He started out as a politically ignorant, Trump wannabe. He ended as a politically ignorant loser. It’s sad. He had potential but resorted to acting like Trump. Lets see if he continues to donate money.

Trump will not be removed. At this point, after the evidence has been publicly put on display for the world to see,  the GOP should be having a meeting with Trump urging him to take the honorable route and resign, but that assumes the GOP has an ounce of honor. They don’t. They have an opportunity to remove this cancer from their party and possibly avoid a wipe out in November, but I wouldn’t count on it. Trump has them bent over a table and they are enjoying it.

The wall will not be built. LOL. It never was. It never will. And Mexico is still not paying for it.

We will take CD 22. We have a couple of real good candidates running for CD 22. I have my favorite but both are great candidates. Pete Olson knew it and decided to quit. It’s going to be a great race to watch.

The January State of the Union is going to be a shit show. Speaker Pelosi just has to sit behind Trump to make him sweat. He is going to take 2 hours to whine about everything. Its going to be fun to watch and sad to watch what the Republican Party has become. I expect a few members of congress to walk out this time.

So….buckle up folks. The Beginning of the End of Trump is near.

When another Democrat challenges a Democratic incumbent they need to answer a simple question. Why? Why are you running? What has the incumbent done, or not done to compel you to put your family on hold while you run for office?

Harris County Constable Chris Diaz is in that position with 3 primary challengers, one being a family member, his wife’s cousin. It makes you wonder what Constable Diaz has done wrong enough for his own family member to run against him. His cousin, Jerry Garcia, must know something  about the Constable because he has absolutely no business running for any office.

Jerry doesn’t have a history in law enforcement. At all, as in zero, zip, nada. He has spent a career in safety currently at Bludworth Marine. He also doesn’t have much of a voting record, voting only once in the last ten years. He isn’t politically active, a political unknown. He doesn’t have a treasurer, a website, a Facebook page, or even twitter. He didn’t even post a working number on his application to the Secretary of State.

He is completely unqualified and unprepared to run for Diaz’s job. So maybe during Christmas dinner Diaz might have a chance to look across the table and ask.

Why?

We have a law against fake videos. We need one for fake endorsements.

During the 2019 elections for Houston City Council Eric Dick, running for At Large 5 position, paid for a mailer that implied Black elected officials in the Houston area endorsed him. On the mailer, Dick was the only white person listed. None of the elected officials endorsed him. None.

The endorsement also came from a group called the Harris County Democratic News (HCDN), not affiliated with the Harris County Democratic Party. The mailer did not have the required disclosure “Political ad paid for by”.

With a little gum shoeing by an obnoxious, insignificant, blogger it was found that HCDN was owned by a friend and client of Eric Dick’s. HCDN was not registered as a PAC but was sending out mailers to influence an election. Unfortunately there was absolutely nothing that Dick’s opponents could do to stop him from doing it again. And he did.

Last legislation session Senate Bill 751 passed that prohibited “fake videos”. Here is the wording:

Leave it to a trump supporter to whine about losing much like Trump will do in 2020.
