Texas leaving the United States is a win-win. They should do it.

Some idiot out of Fredericksburg Texas has filed a bill to allow Texans to vote on secession. From KHOU:

On Tuesday, Rep. Kyle Biedermann (R-Fredericksburg) said that he is committed to authoring legislation in the 2021 legislative session that will give Texans a vote to allow the state to secede from the U.S.

If this bill could possibly get through a committee, the House, Senate, signed, and put on the ballot it would pass. Remember over 50% of Texans voted for the asshole Trump to continue his attack on the United States. They aren’t the sharpest bowling balls in the tool shed. They just lack the capability to understand that this secession idea was already settled during the Civil War and its impact would be devastating.

If Texas could possibly secede the United States would close all federal offices. That includes all military bases, all federal office buildings, and offices that provide services such as Social Security. NASA would move from Houston to Florida. All military resources including weapons and soldiers would leave. Social Security payments to seniors would stop as well as Medicare and Medicaid. Transportation funds would dry up. Ports would be closed. The loss of jobs would be devastating.

But there is a good side to this. Without a military and the support of the United States Mexico will have an opportunity to reclaim their land.

It’s a win-win for everyone!

No Place but Texas. 

Remember when the Democrats in Texas called for the overturn of the election after trump won with the help of Russia? Neither do I.

The following Texas Congressmen have signed on in support of overturning the election like a bunch of whiny ass little bitches. Included in this list is the republican darling, Dan Crenshaw. Crenshaw will be running for president as a trump republican in 2024. This is who they are.

Missing from the list is Brian Babin (Racist) of Vidor.

Rep. Kevin Brady
Rep. Michael Burgess
Rep. Michael Cloud
Rep. Mike Conaway
Rep. Dan Crenshaw
Rep. Bill Flores
Rep. Louie Gohmert
Rep. Lance Gooden
Rep. Kenny Marchant
Rep. Randy Weber
Rep. Roger Williams
Rep. Ron Wright

They are getting smarter.

Two years ago Justice Democrats, the socialist organization funded by Senator Sanders, endorsed 80 candidates across the country. From a previous post:

Out of 80 candidates endorsed by JD, only 7 won. 2 were incumbents in deep blue districts. 1 was unopposed.  4 were all in very blue districts wiping out their general election opponents. It’s not like they were endorsing in tough competitive states like Texas, although those that did, lost. All of them. One raised over a $1 Million and lost 70-30 in the primary.

This year they were smarter endorsing only 9 candidates in deep, deep, blue districts with somewhat better results. Three won in the general election. The rest lost in the general or the primary but the socialists ended up gaining in the House and it’s a blueprint for how to continue to win.

Locally the socialists attempted to win in District Attorney races with the Travis County DA flipping. Here in Harris County the Democrat, Kim Ogg easily won in the primary and in the general.

Look for the Justice Democrats to continue running under the “progressive” banner in deep, deep blue areas knocking off Democrats in the primary and easily winning in the general election.

Yeow. What the living hell is going on with the Harris County Republican Party? 

There are strange things happening at the HCRP. Their chair posted a racist meme after the George Floyd killing. He lost his job at the Pasadena Planning Commission because of it. He was asked to resign by local Republicans including Congressmen Crenshaw, McCaul, Brady, and Lt Governor Dan Patrick. 149 Republican Chairs have called for his resignation. The Executive Committee also limited his spending power.

There is more. Or less. According to the Texas Ethics Commission the Party is broke. This time in 2016 the HCRP raised $450,000. Today they reported raising $12,000. In 2016 they had $350,000 8 days before the election. Now they have $11,000. Their Federal PAC has $1 Million but I do not see any of that money being spent to help the HCRP. Who is paying their rent?

And other tidbits. Here in the Bay Area the Bay Area Republican Women had a year round office. That has since closed, right before the election. Their record keeping with the Texas Ethics Commission is ripe for an ethics complaint and that might just get picked.

And now this. Fox26 out of Houston covered a press conference with the HCRP Chair and someone named Len Swanson the founding leader of some kind of militia. They had a 40 minute talkfest which included a prayer and the sounding of a horn. (I am not kidding) Living Blue in Texas has the entire conference on their blog. It’s like watching a really bad movie that you just can’t stop watching. I watched it. It was really, really, bad. I am sure Fox News wished they hadn’t covered it. See for yourself.

The Republican Party needs an opportunity to regroup, rebuild, and rediscover their moral compass after 4 years of Donald Trump. Voters should help them on November 3.

Five years ago the party had an opportunity to reject Trump in the primary but instead adopted him as their leader, then followed him, blindly. In February they had an opportunity to remove him from office after he was impeached in the House for abusing his power. Instead they made excuses for him, defended him, and solidified their support for him. They had their opportunities to repair the once great “conservative” party and didn’t. At this point the voters are the only group of people who can help the Republican Party rebuild on November 3.

Recently Texas Senator John Cornyn claimed he silently dissented against Trump concerning issues such as the trillion dollar deficit, the botched pandemic response, and immigration policies. Like the cowards they are republican candidates are finally trying to distance themselves from the President. John Cornyn and every candidate running under the Republican Party banner does not deserve to be elected or re-elected. Their deafening silence should be countered with a very loud and definitive response.

In 2018 our County Judge, Ed Emmitt, who had served honorably, also remained silent. He was silent on the racist immigration policies in one of the most diverse counties in the country. He silent to denounce Trump’s hateful rhetoric. Judge Emmitt paid the price for his silence and lost in a very close election.

It’s time for every candidate running as a Republican to follow Emmitt’s lead and lose so the Republican Party can reflect on what they stand for and who they stand with.  Their silence can no longer be tolerated. 

They have been silent while Trump created a trillion dollar deficit. The party of “fiscal responsibility” now owns a $23 Trillion debt with no end in sight. This historic deficit has come without any new infrastructure spending, or investments in education, or even spending to protect our constitutional right to vote.

They have been silent while Americans needlessly die due to the Coronavirus and while the President continues to downplay the severity of this pandemic. Over 220,000 American families have lost loved ones while Trump continues spreading the virus to the White House and to his own family. They have been silent while Trump spreads false information about the virus causing another round of outbreaks across the country.

They have been silent while extreme right wing terrorist organizations parade on our streets dressed like GI Joe with loaded assault weapons. They have been silent while a militia group planned to kidnap the Governor of Michigan. They have been silent while the President continues to incite violence.

They have been silent when children were put into cages, when our Muslim community was attacked, when Putin put bounties on the heads of our American soldiers, when he mocked a disabled American and soldiers who were injured in defense of our country. They have been silent while supporting a President who had a romp in the hay with a porn star, paid her off for her silence, and then lied about it to win an election. They have been silent while this President lies, every single day.

The silence needs to stop. The Republican Party needs to pay for their silence by being given an opportunity to regroup, rebuild, and rediscover their moral compass. Only the voters on November 3 will be able to help this party. 

DO IT.

Well this is strange.

The Clear Lake area has been a long time stronghold for the Republican Party in the past. This year things are changing.

Their office on 433 Bay Area Blvd recently closed right before the election. According to the Texas Ethics Commission the Harris County Republican Party was donating $900/month for rent. As noted in the previous post the HCRP looks like they are broke. The Bay Area Republican Women’s organization also has a $0 balance according to their recent filings with the TEC. It’s as if they have folded.

It looked like another HQ was opened close to the Clear Lake Library on Bay Area Blvd but as of this weekend, that location has also closed. A call to the HCRP confirmed there are no satellite or club headquarters in the Clear Lake area. 

 Sri Preston Kulkarni has crushed it.

Sri has raised $4.6 Million compared to his challenger Troy Nehls who raised $1.3 Million. Sri has $1.7 Million cash on hand and Nehls has $360,000.

Nehls picked up his fundraising. He only had $30,000 at the end of his primary with Kathaleen Wall. In a must win district Nehls performed poorly. I would think that at the very least he would have raised $2 Million to be competitive.
