Seabrook Sh*t Show Part 2

May 2, 2025

This is strange. Very strange.

Seabrook has a loud and obnoxious Facebook group called Save Seabrook (SS). It’s like Elon Musk’s DOGE of Seabrook, making wild ass claims about the state of the city. It’s what MAGAts do. Tell a lie, repeat it, defend it, move on to the next one. It has been quite successful all over the country. People eat that shit up like it was spicy crawfish.

In the long run it may not serve the people of Seabrook well. Take a look at League City for example. The MAGAts took over City Council led by Mayor Pro Tem Justin Hicks. Real Conservatives lost their voice in all the chaos. Justin eventually resigned but League City provided media outlets with enough stories to last a year and a Sunday. As I said in my last post (Seabrook Shit Show) about Seabrook and Mayoral Candidate Jackie Rasco who is supported by the SS group:

So a few years ago there was an incident that required police intervention at Jackies home involving a nosy neighbor, an intoxicated expunged, a gun, $3000 worth of damage, and an arrest. You can read the entire police report here.

That was some crazy shit! Now just a few days prior to the election the SS group announced a free pound of crawfish provided by The Barge295 if you show a I voted sticker. Once they realized that is against the law to provide a reward for voting they rescinded the offer. Then someone actually made signs blaming their own stupidity on the candidate for Mayor! As I said, lie. Defend. Repeat.

The Barge used to be my go to place for crawfish but I think I will look elsewhere from now on. Not quite sure what the candidates, supported by the SS, have promised The Barge. Why do voters want chaos when they can have a Mayor who has decades of incredible applicable experience in city issues and has served the community well? The SS is supporting Rasco, Burton, Byers, and Cervantes.

Seabrook could be the next League City.


Fact Checking CCISD Trustee. Again

May 1, 2025

It’s Scott Bowen again.

Scott’s latest mailer criticizes his opponent for her support of masking during the COVID Pandemic that killed over 1 million Americans. She was clear in her support and for good reason. She works in the medical profession and saw the death and suffering of many who were stricken with COVID. Scott on the other hand made fun of those who were trying to keep kids safe.

At a board meeting on 10/25/21 Bowen visibly made fun of a parent (video here) who was wearing a mask. It wasn’t funny and he got the message. At the next meeting Bowen had to publicly apologize for being a dick. (video Here)

Scott should remember what happened to his friend, Scott Apley. Apley was a member of the Texas Republican Executive Committee as was Scott. Apley was a City Council Member for Dickinson. Like Scott he was a COVID denier and Like Scott he rallied against the mask mandate during COVID.

Scott Apley got COVID. He died at the age of 35. He left a wife and a newborn.


Will CCISD Voters Reject Out of District Billionaire Influence? Again?

April 30, 2025

Michael Smith, the editor of Galveston Daily News said it best:

Our hope is voters are rejecting the incursion of hate-mongering, covert money, outside money, partisan ideology and partisan agendas of all sorts in their decisions about electing local people to volunteer posts.

And former CCISD Board President Laura Dupont said it even better:

The truth is, school boards only work when they reflect the communities they serve — not the agendas of party leadership. That’s why our school board elections are held in May, separate from partisan ballots. We’ve protected that nonpartisan tradition in Texas for over a century because education isn’t supposed to be political.

Over the last decade school boards across the state have been flooded with unlimited money from out of district PACs including Defend Texas Liberty funded by two West Texas Billionaires. In most part they have been successful in winning and controlling school boards bringing chaos, corruption, and cruelty into schools. Do your own research on Keller ISD, Katy ISD, and Friendswood ISD. Friendswood is an example of voters rejecting outside money. The losing candidate raised an outrageous $50,000 from 2 out of district donors. (FYI FISD has only 6 schools. CCISD has over 40)

In the past CCISD voters have rejected this outside money and political influence by rejecting Trustee Bowen’s recruited candidates, Christine Parizo, Misty Dawson, and Pete Lauzon. All three were woefully uneducated in education. Bowen’s buddy, Joe Machol, is also a very poor choice for our kids and Scott Bowen is responsible for this political sideshow and outside influence into the district. On Saturday voters have a chance to put an end to outside, political influence and solidify CCISD as a shining example of putting parents, teachers, students, and tax payers above partisan politics.

As Ms Dupont said:

Local elections matter more than ever. The best way to protect our schools is by electing leaders who are there for the right reasons.

Election Day is May 3 this Saturday.


Fact Checking a CCISD Trustee on Election Fraud. Again.

April 29, 2025

It’s Scott Bowen. Again.

During the last CCISD Candidate Forum sponsored by the League City Regional Chamber of Commerce candidates were asked a very simple question: (video here starting at 02:04) “if you lose a close race, would you contest the results?”. Rebecca Lilley was clear with her answer: “Absolutely not. Whatever happens, happens, and I believe that that will be the final result.”

Scott Bowen echoed the Republic Party canned answer: “On contesting results, this time around Harris County and Galveston County are running our elections. I’m glad they are. At the same time, a few years ago, there was a Harris County result that actually was overturned due to problems with that election. I’m hoping that doesn’t happen again, and I don’t think it will, but I think you never say never. So we just hope for a clean and fair election.”

Fact Check:
After losing in the 2022 elections, Scott Bowen’s party sued 22 winning candidates claiming voter irregularities spearheaded by Mattress MAGAt Mac. They did not sue Harris County who actually conducted the election. They sued the actual candidates requiring them to raise money in their defense. After investigations by the courts as well as the Secretary of State, every single suit was dismissed.

The Secretary of State Investigation
According to the Secretary of State, Jane Nelson, a Republican: “The allegations of election fraud in the 2022 Harris County election are total bullshit.” That’s not her exact words buy you get the idea. You can read the entire 147 page report if you want but in short there was no fraud. There was no voter irregularities that would have changed any election. Nothing. Zero. Zip. Nada. They couldn’t even find one single voter who was denied voting. Not one.

Texas Rangers Investigation
Even the Harris county District Attorney, Kim Ogg, had to admit no charges were being filed after an extensive investigation by the Texas Rangers. She had an embarrassing press conference claiming they filed a misdemeanor charge for an unrelated crime. It was eventually dismissed also. Some believed she should have been investigated herself for a baseless investigation.

CCISD Election 2022
This isn’t the first time Bowen’s party has done this. In fact the first time they used this tactic was in CCISD in 2022. Misty Dawson, a Bowen recruit, sued her opponent claiming voter irregularities after losing by 40 votes. She did’t sue the District who ran the election. She sued the winning candidate who had absolutely nothing to do with running the election. Bowen’s buddy caused a considerable amount of chaos concerning CCISD paying for the legal fees of the winning candidate. Even Bowen voted in favor of supporting this. Dawson eventually dropped her suit.

So expect Scott Bowen to whine like a little bitch if he loses.


Responses to: The Sh*t Show in Seabrook

April 29, 2025

Well, that was a surprise. Kind of. It appears that those in Seabrook who call for “transparency” actually dislike it. The “beehive,” as some have dubbed it, of Jackie Rasco’s supporters took issue with my mention of a police incident at Rasco’s residence. You can find the post here and the actual police report here. That post became the second most viewed in my blog’s history, with the first being after actor Mark Ruffalo retweeted my post “Texas by the numbers. (it ain’t pretty)” (We truly aren’t doing well!)

I had compared the Seabrook race to the recent shit show in League City which ended poorly for a council member who instigated the chaos in the city. Below are just a few of the responses received on the post even one banning me from posting! EGADS! I am RUINED! Early voting ends today. Good luck Seabrook. You just might become the center of discussion for the next couple of years.


The Sh*t Show in Seabrook Texas

April 27, 2025

Move over League City, Seabrook is taking over.

Earlier this year, the League City Council called for the resignation of Justin Hicks, its most controversial member. He resigned after being accused of misusing his position for personal gain and several incidents involving the police. The Council is now holding a special election to fill his seat, hoping to reduce media attention and blogger scrutiny.

There is an election in Seabrook also. Jackie Rasco is running for Mayor in Seabrook and like Justin Hicks and Scott Bowen may become the chaos of Seabrook. I’ve shared a video of Jackie at the CCISD board meeting and you can read her comments below. Jackie is friends with CCISD Trustee Scott Bowen, who has brought his political chaos into the school district. If elected, I expect Rasco will continue this trend of Scott Bowen and Justin Hicks, and the media will shift their attention to Seabrook.

Police Intervention
So a few years ago there was an incident that required police intervention at Jackies home involving a nosy neighbor, an intoxicated expunged, a gun, $3000 worth of damage, and an arrest. You can read the entire police report here. This didn’t end well at first. In the end Jackies husband was placed in custody as was the intoxicated expunged. (expunged is how the report identifies an individual) From the police report (not my words, theirs):

Jackie’s Husband
William was identified to be responsible for the damages for the door and was placed in custody for Criminal Mischief. Harris County ADA Foley was contacted and he accepted the Felony Criminal Mischief charge. ADA Foley stated he was unable to accept an Aggravated Assault charge due to the firearm being unidentifiable.

The “expunged”:
Expunged was determined to be under the influence of alcohol due to the odor of alcoholic beverage emitting from her breath and person. Expunged was witnessed by neighbors at the residence of 4005 Lakeway Drive stating threatening comments toward neighbors. It was determined Expunged was a danger to herself and the public and was placed in custody

And Jackie
Officers attempted to get possession of the firearms involved but were unable to find one matching the exact description provided by Elliott. Jacyln stated her husband owns many firearms but was unable to provide officers with one matching the description. Officers explained to Jacyln that the ADA was suggesting a search warrant to enter the residence to retrieve the firearm used in the disturbance. Jacyln was hesitant in her response to retrieve the gun involved, until Cynthia strongly suggested to Jacyln to give officers “THE gun.” Officers found this to be suspicious of which firearm Cynthia was referring too. Jacyln went into the master bedroom to retrieve the pistol that was originally outside at the time of the offense.

If you bother to read the entire police report instead of just the snippets above you will find the most disturbing part here:

The neighbors
While officers were conducting an investigation, another officer was flagged down by a neighbor and his child riding bikes stating they witnessed William making a scene in the front yard of 4005 Lakeway Drive. The neighbors also stated they overheard expunged stating “Those niggers are going to die tonight.”

Early voting has started and the election is May 3rd. Good luck Seabrook.


Kemah Police enjoying their Trump Burgers

April 24, 2025

Kemah Police Department had proudly posted pic of some of their officers enjoying their time at the newly opened Trump Burger. Then they deleted them for reasons unknown. Luckily I found them. Including one of the Chief of Police Garvey. I am sure they enjoyed the Stormy Burger with nice firm buns and vey small meat.


CCISD Candidate Calls for Instant Replay

April 24, 2025

Turns out they overruled a previous post.

Joe Machol is a former NFL referee until he was removed from officiating after some kind of ethics violations. He sued buy never returned to officiating. If interested you can read about it here.

But back to the instant replay. On further review Machol has not violated campaign finance laws for not submitting a campaign finance report. When he filed his Appointment of Treasurer (late) he stated he would not be raising or spending more than $1110 and therefore does not need to file a periodic report. That is news to me but that is why Machol has not reported.

Besides being an absolute horrible candidate for School Board, even worse than Misty Dawson, he is running a very strange campaign. His signs are generic “vote for Joe” signs with no mention of the office he is running for and the “Paid for by” statement that is required on all advertisements. He has placed some signs with handwritten notices. There’s no push cards, mailers, flyers, Facebook ads. Nothing. It is strange.

And his viral video of him losing it at a Seabrook meeting didn’t help him. Or skipping a forum. Or submitting a blank Bio.

But there is still time for a political PAC to send out mailers in support of Bowen and Machol. Machol can then plead ignorance. Watch for it.

CCISD Trustee gets fact checked

April 22, 2025

It’s sad that Scott Bowen has resorted to falsely attacking his opponent breaking his pledge to the district not to do so. Rebecca’s campaign had to hit back and it is a great ad. Watch till the end with a clip of Bowen bragging about his support for school vouchers.

I have been very clear about Scott Bowen as a CCISD Trustee. You can read about all the reasons he should be replaced with someone who is not interested in partisan politics in our schools in Scott Bowen: A Threat to CCISD Education

Early voting starts today.
