I called Babin’s office concerning his position on the bounties placed upon our soldiers by Vladimir Putin and Trump’s lack of action. No one in his office knew about the issue and had to “get back to me” while everyone else in the universe knew what was going on. Babin’s office has struggled to take a stand with the troops while continuing to snuggle with Trump and the White House.

I finally received a generic form letter from Babin via email. It didn’t mention the bounties or Trump or anything really. So Babin is OK with trump and his response to Putin’s bounties. Babin is a veteran. He claims to “support the troops” but will hide behind the president when it is time to actually support them. Maybe he needs to take off his hood and smell the treason. From Babin:

Texas Congressman Dan Crenshaw is the next Donald Trump. Keep your eye on him.

Dan Crenshaw was caught on video during a campaign strategy session questioning the patriotism of another veteran, Senator Tammy Duckworth. Senator Duckworth lost her legs when her attack helicopter was hit by a rocket propelled grenade while serving in Iraq. The Washington Post obtained a copy of the video of his response:

“I think a general message that the left stands for the destruction of America, and the right doesn’t, probably works pretty well with veterans, even liberal ones,” Crenshaw said in a Wednesday night “MAGA meetup” organized by the Trump campaign. “Because even liberal veterans probably don’t agree with that, unless you’re Tammy Duckworth.” The Washington Post obtained a video of the U.S. congressman’s remarks.”

This isn’t the first time the Republican Party has mocked Veterans of war. Back in 2004 the delegates at the republican convention wore Purple Heart bandaids mocking the injuries suffered by Senator John Kerry. In 2002 they attacked Senator Max Cleland in the same manner, questioning his patriotism. Cleland at the age of 25 lost both legs serving in Vietnam. And they stood silently as their great leader, Donald Trump, mocked and ridicules Senator John McCain who was a POW during the Vietnam war.

Now, Crenshaw continues the tradition by attacking a Veteran of the Iraq War. This is who they are. This is who he is. Keep an eye on him. 

After refusing to cancel the in person convention for the Texas Republican Party the elected officials responsible will not be attending themselves. Instead they will address the COVID Convention by video. From the Texas Tribune:

“All the elected officials are switching from a live, in-person speech to videos,” Kyle Whatley, the party’s executive director, said during a town hall livestreamed Tuesday night. “They’re doing that for us in order to focus all the attention on the business of the meeting and to get everybody in and out of here as quickly and as safely as possible.”

“Just because there are 6000 stupid people willing to attend a COVID Convention in person, in a Petri dish,  doesn’t mean we have to subject our families to this virus by also attending”

Ok. That last sentence is satire but it’s probably what they are thinking. Cowards like Patrick and Abbott are afraid of the virus as well as taking the stage and being booed for screwing up the response to the virus. I bet most of the attendees will cancel. 

At least they can bring their guns in case they need to shoot the virus. 

In 2018 Kathaleen Wall spent $6 Million of her own money to win a seat in Texas Congressional District 2. She didn’t even make the runoff. Now she has spent another $7.5 million to win the Republican nomination in another district, CD22.

According to her latest report on the Federal Election Commission’s website, Wall has donated $6 Million of her own money to her campaign with another $1.5 million in a loan. She received about $12,000 from other sources.

Wall is another Donald Trump with a dress, a gun, and a bullhorn for her dog whistles of divisiveness and racist comments. She is the perfect representation of the new Republican Party.

Remember when Trump labeled himself as the “wartime president” fighting the Coronavirus pandemic? From Politico:

“I do, I actually do, I’m looking at it that way,” Trump told reporters during a press briefing at the White House when asked whether he considered the U.S. to be on a wartime footing. “I look at it, I view it as, in a sense, a wartime president. I mean, that’s what we’re fighting.“

After just four months of battle resulting in 3 million infections, 132,000 deaths, 14% unemployment, and trillions in lost revenues the wartime president has tucked tail and declared he is quitting. From NBC News:

Eager to move forward and reopen the economy amid a recession and a looming presidential election, the White House is now pushing acceptance. 

“The virus is with us, but we need to live with it,” is how one official said the administration plans to message on the pandemic.

Just like during the Vietnam war, trump has morphed into a COVID Coward. A weak, incompetent, lying, confused, COVID Coward. We haven’t lost the battle over the virus. We have just lost the coward in chief.
