Raising Campaign Cash: Texas CD22

April 23, 2020

Interesting numbers coming out of CD 22.

After Sri Preston Kulkarni came within striking distance of Congressman Pete Olson, Olson quit the race and left an open seat for 17 republicans to fight over like seagulls at a picnic. Only two are left. Kulkarni won the nomination for the Democratic Party building on his campaign from 2018.

Kulkarni has raised $1.5 Million for his 2020 race with $365K cash on hand.

Kathaleen Wall raised no money but put $4.5 Million of her own money into the race. Unfortunately she came in 2nd place to Troy Nehls. Nehls only raised $382K with $24,000 cash on hand. Pierce Bush was suppose to be the savior of the party raising $1.3 Million but coming in 3rd place.

Nehls is just as bad as Wall with less money. Both are trying to win the award for kissing trump’s ass. Both have racist tendencies. Both love the dog whistles. Watching them fight this out like seagulls over a French fry might actually be fun.


Keep your eye on your dignity

April 21, 2020

It’s hard to watch someone soil themselves.

Congressman Dan Crenshaw lost an eye fighting for our country and now he has lost his dignity kissing Donald trump’s ass. According to The Washington Post Crenshaw’s video of himself kissing trumps ass was full of misinformation. My favorite is:

Crenshaw adds it was the “same day, Jan. 31, that Nancy Pelosi proposed the No Ban Act, which would actually stop President Trump from implementing the lifesaving travel restrictions that he did implement.”

Pelosi didn’t propose the No Ban Act on Jan. 31. The bill had been introduced by another member a year ago

This is what the Republican Party has become. A bunch of ass kissing liars. It is who they are. They are Trump.

Tx Representative Money Mayes Middleton: Money Matters

April 15, 2020

State Representative “Money” Mayes Middleton from Galveston has gathered a few of his republican buddies and wrote to Governor Abbott to urge him to return the state to work.

“We need you to open the state so a few Texans can be the guinea pigs for this viral experiment. Sure some, maybe many, will die, but my stock options need your help and their sacrifice.”

Ok. That isn’t what he wrote, but you get the idea. Money Mayes put $2.5Million of his own money into his run for State Representative spending 5 times more than what would have been necessary if the race was competitive. It wasn’t. Not even close. This is a new thing for the Republican Party. Find a rich person, let them use their own money, hope for a win. Some have not been successful such as Kathaline Walls and Tony Buzbee. They lost in an embarrassing fashion. Mayes won his race and is serving up his constituents to the virus.

Money’s letter contains the new dog whistle calling the COVID-19 the “Wuhan virus”, Wuhan being a replacement for China. He only got 8 other republicans to sign this letter, notably missing is State Representative Dennis Paul in an adjacent district. Paul’s wife is Asian-American. He did get the signature of Little Baby Briscoe from Baytown but considering Briscoe’s radical, racist comments in the past, that was expected. And he got right wing nut Tony Tinderholdt who is working on his 5th or 6th marriage. Others who signed on are:

Matt Krause
Valoree Swanson
Bill Zeldler
Matt Schaefer
Kyle Biedermann
Mike Lang
Tony Tinderholdt


Former Clear Lake Congressman, Steve Stockman, seeks pardon

April 11, 2020

Steve Stockman was elected to congress to serve in Texas Congressional District 9. He served 1 term. He returned 16 years later and won in the newly created district 36. He served one term and then was convicted on 23 of 24 felony counts. He is serving a 10 year sentence in federal prison.

Stockman is now asking for a pardon from Trump due to the Coronavirus hoax. If Stockman was still in office he would probably be leading the effort  against the Coronavirus response by our elected officials. He would probably be posting pictures of himself at church with his minions. He would probably be walking around with an AR15 strapped to his back at the grocery store. This is who he is. He is a felon. He is an asshole. A perfect candidate for a pardon.

Just an FYI. From a previous post:

Stockman represented the Clear Lake area for 2 years and was nothing but a jackass. He accomplished nothing. His entire 2 years was devoted to making wise ass comments on twitter, questioning Obama’s place of birth, and gun nuttery.

He doesn’t deserve a pardon which is probably why he will get one. 



Fort Bend Sheriff Tony Nehls support of racist Wall. (Kathaleen Wall)

April 8, 2020
Click pic for dog whistle video

Ask Judge Ed Emmett what happens when you stand with a racist and keep your mouth shut.

Kathaleen Wall is a candidate endorsed by Governor Abbott, spending her own money to win a seat in Congress, and has recently sent out a racist ad concerning the Coronavirus. She is in a runoff in CD22 against Fort Bend Sheriff Tony Nehls.

When your opponent, or someone you know, says something that is racially dividing or just plain racist, you have two options. 1) Denounce it. Say it is wrong. Say the statement does not represent you, your campaign, or the party. or 2) Stay quiet as if you agree.

Judge Emmett stayed quiet while his leader made racist comments over and over again. He lost his job in 2018. Nehls has been quiet. Not a peep out of him. Zero. Zip. Nada. The Texas Democratic Party as well as the Democratic nominee for CD22 has not been quiet. From a press conference:

From Donald Trump to John Cornyn to Kathaleen Wall, Republicans everywhere have taken to racist dog-whistles to distract from their mismanagement of the coronavirus crisis. This racist rhetoric is dangerous to our Texas AAPI community, the fastest growing community in the state, and has already caused a “spike in prejudice” against Asian Americans

It’s as if Tony Nehls, Greg Abbott, John Cornyn, and the entire Republican Party agrees with racist Walls. It’s who they are. It’s what they have become.


Texas Governor Greg Abbott issues uniforms for poll workers

April 7, 2020

April 7, 2020 | Austin, Texas | Press Release

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has issued the following statement in response to vote by mail in Texas for the June runoffs
The great state of Texas is under attack by an invisible enemy causing our great economy to collapse and interfering with our elections. In response to those who want to implement vote by mail for all voters I have decided to issue safety equipment, a uniform fashioned by NASA, to all poll workers in order to safety conduct elections at voting centers across the state.

Each worker will be provided a form fitting personal protective equipment. This will protect each worker from spreading the virus and from contracting the virus. Each piece of equipment will have a breathing filter as well as a diaper fashioned from NASA technology and a holding tank for poo. Not only will you be protected you will also be able to do your work looking like an Astronaut.

We hope this will encourage all poll workers to come to work during early voting and on Election Day



Sanders losing lacks luster

April 4, 2020

The results of the past elections and the polls for the upcoming primaries and caucuses are pretty clear. Sanders has lost significant support from 2016.

In every single primary, caucus and/or poll Sanders has lost ground except for Louisiana 0, District of Columbia 0, Virgin Islands +11 and Puerto Rico +4. Even in the states he has won he has lost ground New Hampshire – 34, Nevada -1. In states that he won in 2020, he lost or is expected to lose ground such as Colorado -23, Minnesota -31, Oklahoma -26, Vermont -34, Idaho -36, Washington -39. His lack luster performance is losing.

Here are the results of the primaries/polls. He might win Indiana but other than that every remaining state is Biden’s. The numbers in red represents the difference from 2020 and 2016. 0’s are in green. An increase in his percentage from 2016 is in black.

Kathaleen Wall. The perfect (R)

April 2, 2020

Kathaleen Wall is a perfect representative of the (R) party.

Wall is a wealthy candidate for Congress in CD22. She is in the runoff and is trying to out (R) her opponent. She doesn’t live in the district, but she didnt live in CD2 either when she ran in 2018. After spending $6 Million of her own money she came in third place in the (R) primary. Now she is running on her own money spending $3.2 million and is in a runoff to represent the (R) party in CD22.

As I have said in a previous post, the (R) could easily stand for Rotten, Reckless, and Racist. Kathaleen is running hard to represent the (R)s with her latest ad kissing Donald trump’s ass and referring to the Coronavirus as the “Chinese virus”. Kathaleen was endorsed by Texas Governor Greg Abbott so I am sure he is very proud of her and her donations to his campaign.

If she becomes the (R) to advance to the general election she will face Sri Preston Kulkarni and in a district that is one of the most diverse in the state. Kulkarni issued the following statement:

“Irresponsible, race-baiting comments like these from Kathaleen Wall are unacceptable and dangerous to TX-22’s large Asian American and Pacific Islander population, who are intimately aware of the FBI warning about the recent surge of hate crimes against their community,” Sri Preston Kulkarni said. “A crisis like a pandemic isn’t a license to demagogue your neighbors — just the opposite. We should be coming together as one community to tackle this virus and its challenges. While we’re running a campaign to build bridges across our community, Kathaleen Wall is doing all she can to be the poster child for the same divisive politics that people hate about Washington.”


Kathaleen should win her primary because she is the best as being a true (R). This is who she is. This is what her party has become. Rotten. Reckless. Racist.


When we turn our backs on god

March 31, 2020

Yesterday Trump gave up the microphone to the CEO of My Pillow a company that makes, well, pillows, soft, beautiful pillows. He quickly turned it into a rant claiming the Coronavirus was a direct result of turning our back on god. He said:

“God gave us grace on November 8, 2016, to change the course we were on,” he began. “Instead the nation had turned its back on God and elected Donald Trump one of the gdamn worst excuses for a human being.”

That isn’t exactly what he said but you get the idea of what he should have said. Why he would be invited to the Rose Garden to spew this crap is beyond me but that is what trump does. He knew this gdamn idiot would put his beautiful, soft, pillow down to protect his knees while kissing his holy ass on national TV. This was all orchestrated.
This is what he does. This is who he is.

What's next for the Trump virus?

March 27, 2020

I can see the writing on the wall. Trump can’t lie his way out of this medical crisis. The science just won’t let him. The republican governors across the country are betting this virus will “miraculously” disappear as Trump has wished. It will eventually catch up to them. And us.

Trump isn’t providing the protective equipment, the respirators, the tests as he has promised over and over again. He is now telling states to fend and fight each other over the equipment that is needed. There is no leadership at the national level. Nothing. His staff,  experts, and republican buddies are silent, cowering behind Trump afraid to speak up and tell the truth all the while people are dying and the virus is spreading.

Trump is on course to just let the virus run it’s course. I expect the following tweet in the near future:

Hard hitting political commentary always full of wit in Houston Texas.
