WHAT THE F*CK? Greg Abbott poses with indicted Proud Boys leader

June 12, 2022

What the living f*ck is happening in Texas?

First we have a Republican candidate for the Texas Senate, Bianca Gracia, meeting with the Proud Boys leader, Enrique Tarrios and Elmer Stewart Rhodes the leader of the Oathkeepers a day before the Jan 6 insurrection. Both have been indicted for seditious conspiracy which if convicted would put them in jail for 20 years.

Now the “conservative” Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, has been photographed with Joe Biggs, a leading figure in the Proud Boys organization. Biggs has also been indicted for seditious conspiracy and could face 20 years in prison. Seditious Conspiracy is defined as:

If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.

It doesn’t matter if he took the pic prior to the indictment. The bottom line is he took a pic with Joe Biggs an extreme white wing nut. What the living f*ck was he thinking and what does this have to do with Hunter Biden? Abbott is more crippled than we ever thought.


Senate District 11 Candidate for Senator, Bianca Gracia, filmed with Proud Boys prior to Jan 6

June 10, 2022

What the living F***?

Bianca Gracia was a candidate for Texas Senate District 11 here in the Bay Area. She lost to State Representative “Money” Mayes Middleton in a four way race. She won only 7% of the vote in the Republican primary. Bianca was also the the founder of Latinos for Trump which is like Chickens for Colonel Sanders.

A day prior to the Jan 6 insurrection Gracia was filmed with Enrique Tarrio a leader of the Proud Boys and founder of the Oath Keepers Elmer Stewart Rhodes in a garage. Tarrio and Rhodes have both been charged with seditious conspiracy for their participation in the Jan 6 riot. They face 20 years in jail.

Gracia has not been charged but it has to be troubling that she was meeting with Tarrio and Rhodes. We will see if anything comes of this. The Washington Post has the video at https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/05/24/tarrio-rhodes-video/


What idiot allowed carrying loaded assault weapons in the public?

June 9, 2022

Senator Charles “Dick Pic” Schwertner from Georgetown.

Texas Senator Charles Schwertner was involved in a dick pic scandal at the University of Texas. According to Fox News (yes, Fox even covered it)

Schwertner allegedly texted the student, “I just really want to f— you,”  and sent her a photo of what appeared to be his genitals in the shower. The image does not show his face, officials said, and the student never responded to the message.

According to the Houston Chronicle it seems that someone else had access to Schwertner’s cell phone and encryption app as well as a pic of Schwertner’s dick. That anonymous person sent the dick pic. How they obtained a pic of Schwertner’s dick while he was in the shower is still unknown. But I digress…..

Schwertner sponsored the permit less carry bill allowing anyone to walk in public, free of harassment from law enforcement, with loaded assault weapons which includes wannabe GI Joes in full body armor, cartel members, and drug dealers. My State Representative Dennis Paul co-sponsored the bill.

What kind of idiot thinks this is safe? If you saw someone dressed like a cartel member walking down your street you can call the police but they cannot do anything. They can’t ask if they are licensed to carry, because they do not have to have a license to carry. They can’t ask if they are felons or otherwise not allowed to carry that weapon. They only time they can take action is when it is too late.

BTW. Schweriners wife filed for divorce.


We visited State Representative Dennis Paul at his home to discuss gun safety

June 6, 2022

Don’t get your hopes up. Paul got wind of our event and left the house but not before calling HPD and the Harris County Constables which were very professional, offered an escort if needed, and provided information to keep our event safe and legal.

About 25 of us went to Paul’s house in House District 129 to encourage him to DO SOMETHING. In a letter we left we said:

We are calling on you to DO SOMETHING to curb gun violence in our state. The time for thoughts and prayers is over. It is time for significant legislative action. We urge you to encourage Governor Abbott to call a special session to address gun violence immediately and in time for opening of our schools for the upcoming school year.


Paul is what is called an NRA bitch. He would walk around the voting locations wearing his stupid looking NRA hat as if it would get him more votes. His votes for every gun nut bill has put our kids, parents, teachers, and law enforcement at risk.


You have co-sponsored many of the gun bills during the 2021 session including open carry, permitless carry, and permitting the ownership of silencers with no support from law enforcement. You not only have put our children, and the public at risk, you have also made it more dangerous for our police to do their already dangerous jobs. You have put their everyones lives in danger and this must come to an end.


Enough is enough. Thanks to KHOU for reporting on this event. You can see the entire segment here. We are in the 2nd half of the coverage. We left pictures of the kids and teachers killed in Uvalde for him to remember what he is partially responsible for.

Why the the hell would anyone move to Texas?

June 2, 2022

Maybe companies need to rethink moving to Texas. Maybe employees should do the same.

Greg Abbott makes a big deal about enticing companies, especially from California, to move their headquarters to Texas claiming it’s a great place for business. That may be true but someone is paying for it and that someone is you.

Texas claims to be the “Energy Capitol of the World” yet todays electricity prices have skyrocketed since the freeze of 2021. As of today in the Houston area the least amount per kWh is 14.7 cents and that requires a 5 year contract! Our electricity grid is still fragile and gasoline prices are over $4.00 while profits have soared for the oil industry.

While business taxes are low property taxes have skyrocketed. The cost of housing and rent is creeping towards California rates. Homeowners and wind storm insurance is also through the roof. The cost of college tuition has skyrocketed ever since 2003 when the legislature “deregulated” tuition fees. 

Our public schools are underfunded. Our teachers are underpaid. Our police are under fire with the proliferation of assault weapons on the street. Our lax gun allows anyone to walk the streets with a loaded assault weapon without training or licensing. We are the gun capitol of the world with reoccurring mass shootings taking the lives of our students, shoppers, and worshipers.

Couple all of that with mosquitos the size of hummingbirds and hot and humid summers and Texas has become a really fucked up place to make money. It didn’t used to be this way.

A plan to get assault weapons off the street

May 31, 2022

There has to be a change in the way we think about guns. They are not toys. We, especially elected officials, shouldn’t play with them or cook bacon on the barrel. We shouldn’t be posing with them or taking selfies with them. And we need assault weapons off the street. NOW.

We should allow people to buy assault weapons and automatic weapons and have them transferred to a gun range for safe storage. The owner is free to shoot it there, store it there, store their ammo there but they will never be allowed to leave with the gun or bring it home. If they want to move, then transfer it to another gun range. These guns should never be in the public again.

For those with these weapons already we should have a buy back program, paid for by they gun industry. Those who want to give up their assault weapons can then buy a gun that is better for home security. Those who want to keep their assault weapons will have a time period to arrange and pay for storage at a gun range. And those who are caught with an illegal weapon or illegal ammo after this timeframe will face a mandatory 3 years in prison.

There is no other usage for an assault weapon besides shooting them for fun or killing people. It is useless for hunting. It is a very poor choice for home protection. So let them shoot. Let them own. 

But keep them off the ***damn street.


The math doesn't add up for republican school safety proposals

May 30, 2022

I said it after the Sante Fe murders. The math just doesn’t add up. Lt Governor Dan Patrick suggested metal detectors for schools.

Get your slide rules out and lets do the math. Lets assume each school will need at least 1 metal detector. There are over 9300 public schools and 1200 charter schools in Texas. Each metal detector costs $4000 (not including the training, periodic calibration, and maintenance). So..

1x10500x$4000= $42,000,000 for just 1 detector per school. Assuming we average a total of 3 per school and you have a $126 Million price tag which does not include the cost of training, periodic calibration, maintenance, technical support, onsite personnel. $126 Million.

Now there are 27,848 churches in Texas that would require this brain fart of an idea to keep us safe from gun violence. There are over 600 shopping malls in Texas. So do the math then realize that this is not the answer for gun safety. As I said:

How will metal detectors in Sante Fe protect our families from a gun nut at a concert? At a church? At a night club? At a movie theatre? On the streets? Only a moron would think this is a good idea. This is nothing but a Dan Patrick gimmick as he heads into an election season with teachers lining up against him. Patrick needs to go back to school and learn some math. 

Dumbass Dan Patrick.


NASA's Luna Rendezvous Festival cancels gun auction

May 26, 2022

If anyone wanted to win the type of rifle used to kill a bunch of kids in Uvalde you will have to find another raffle/auction. According to Michelle Holland the Advisory Board Chairman of the Lunar Rendezvous Festival the auction is off.

It’s as if gun ownership is a game to some.


In other news: CCISD Board Member fails vote for leadership. 3 times.

May 26, 2022

While we are waiting for the Republican Party to find their moral compass, here is an update from the last CCISD meeting.

Scott Bowen spent somewhere along the lines of $50,000 to get re-elected. Even after spending $50,000 he couldn’t break 50% of the vote (48%). More than 50% of the voters in this election wanted someone else besides Bowen to be on the CCISD School Board.

It also spread to the board itself. Bowen was nominated for President of the Board and failed. He was nominated for VP and failed. He was nominated for Secretary and failed. Usually you are not nominated unless you know you have the votes to win. Someone forgot to give Bowen that memo.

Thanks to the Board Members for keeping Bowen in the shadows where he belongs. Bowen was only 41 votes shy of being the President. If Misty Dawson had been elected she would have been the deciding vote. Dawson has to be one of the worst, if not the worst, candidate ever to run for the board.


Who is next to be shot?

May 26, 2022

I wrote this letter to the editor just a few days before the Uvalde shooting:

So far in the last 10 years they have shot and killed:

10 Blacks in New York
25 Hispanics in El Paso
49 Gays in Florida
60 Whites in Las Vegas
26 Christians in Sutherland Springs Church
11 Jews in Pittsburgh
14 Soldiers in Fort Hood
32 College students in Virginia Tech
17 Students in Stonemason Douglas High School
10 Students in Sante Fe
20 5 year olds in Sandy Hook


And 19 children in Ulvalde Texas.

And Republicans continue to block all proposed actions to curb the violence. So, who is next on their list? You?
