Texas Billionaires Backing Bo French Republican Nominee for Railroad Commission

June 8, 2026

Bo French, the racist who won the Republican primary for Texas Railroad Commission is being funded by former CCISD Trustee Scott Bowen’s Billionaire buddies out of North Texas and they are spending a lot of money!

Follow me for a bit because there is some shady shit going on. Bo French, the republican nominee for Railroad Commissioner who is mired in controversy over his racist posts, has raised $2.1 Million for his race. Of this $1.6 Million comes from two individuals, Farris Wilks, and Timothy Dunn, the two billionaires from North Texas who where featured on CNN, “How two Texas megadonors have turbocharged the state’s far-right shift“.

Both have contributed to a number of PACs supporting French including the PAC Texas Freedom Fund for the Advancement of Justice and Texans United for a Conservative Majority PAC. Texans United for a Conservative Majority PAC. used to be the Defend Texas Liberty PAC until the management was caught meeting with Nick Fuentes, a known holocaust denier. Both of these PACs are funded by the two billionaires. These two donated to Bowen’s candidates who ran for the CCISD board. They gave Pete Lauzon $5000 to run. They gave another candidate $5000 but she returned it.

Texas United for a Conservative Majority (Defend Texas Liberty) gave French $100,000. Since changing their name they raised $15.5 Million with $14.7 million coming from Bowen’s Billionaire Buddies Farris Wilks and Timothy Dunn.

The PAC Texas Freedom Fund for the Advancement of Justice gave French $923,000. This PAC was created in 2020 and since has raised $16.5 Million. Of this Dunn donated $9.6 Million. Wilks donated $4.7 Million.

Another new PAC Texas Conservative Voters donated $400,0000 to French. This PAC was created in 2026 and raised $500,000 from two individuals. Luke and Timothy Dunn. Go figure.

Besides being a fucking racist, French is going to be Scott Bowen’s Billionaire Buddies Bitch.

Why the Texas Secretary of State Resigned

June 6, 2026

She may be a snake but she is not stupid.

I had a run in with Senator Jane Nelson, not physically but through the Texas Ethics Commission. I believe I caught her funneling her donors money through her husband’s company to buy a condo. Buying property with your donors money is not allowed in Texas. My complaint was the second time she was caught. You can read the details here but the results of the 2 year investigation is considered “confidential” and hidden from the public.

So why is she resigning? If you haven’t paid attention to the Secretary of State, and most of Texans don’t, it is clear what is going on. It is my belief Greg Abbott is expecting an ass kicking in November. Maybe not for his race but for his MAGAt Party and he has to do something to make it difficult to vote and limit turnout. What better way to do this than to remove people from the voting records. Or maybe takeover the large county’s voting process. Or maybe do something illegal which could land the Secretary of State in criminal court waiting for a verdict and a pardon from Abbott or Trump.

Nelson doesn’t want her record of service ending in a much needed pardon. She began her political career in 1988 almost 40 years ago. To call her a professional politician is an understatement. She will be heavily compensated for her service to the State in retirement making more than most teachers will ever see and will have free healthcare for her and her husband, the guy she funneled money to to buy a condo. She needs to run away from being Secretary of State.

See Jane run. Run Jane. Run!

Raising Campaign Cash From Anonymous Donors. Abel Garza, Texas City Candidate for Mayor

April 21, 2026

It’s not legal. At all.

Abel Garza is running for Mayor of Texas City. He raised $14,750 as reported on his 30 day out report. He has a couple of interesting donations including $5000 from the Houston Builders Association and $2350 from an anonymous donor which is illegal. According to the Texas Ethics Commission every donation must be identified with the name, date of donations, address, and amount. There are just a few exceptions but according to his report it looks like someone with a bag over their head handed him $2350 in cash.

I have read many reports over the last 20 years but I have never seen an anonymous donor before.

Who is Funding Traci Gibson for Harris County Democratic Chair?

January 22, 2026

You might recognize some of these names. And you might be disappointed.

Traci Gibson is a newly appointed Precinct Chair with a sparse Democratic voting record. She didn’t vote in the 2020, 2022, or 2024 primary. She hasn’t been in the field. She hasn’t been involved with county politics. She woke up one morning and decided to lead the 3rd largest county in the United States as Chair of the Democratic Party. As one current Precinct Chair has said:

We should also ask ourselves: Why is she running? {But please don’t ask her why she’s running. She’s blown up on a few people for simply asking this simple question. And more importantly — who is behind her?  The speed and style of her campaign suggest that she has powerful backers. Some have speculated about outside influences. Regardless of who’s funding or guiding her, it’s clear that her run is highly coordinated. Her lack of disclosure about her true intentions during meetings with Precinct Chairs — many of whom were invited under the impression that the meetings were not campaign-related — is especially troubling.

So who is funding her campaign. Gibson did outraise our current Chair who was busy raising money for our party and for the 2026 elections in November. According to her report she raised $70,028, spent $17,416, and has a Cash on Hand of $52,612. There are a couple of names on the list of donors that concern and surprise me. Here are the donors who gave $500 or more for a total of $42,000.

By the way, our Chair has provided steady leadership. He is doing what he is supposed to be doing, raising money. He pulled our Party out of a financial hole. He has served the Party honorably. As my dad used to say when I had the hood of the car open, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!”.

Buying the Texas AG’s Office by Candidate “Money” Mayes Middleton

January 20, 2026

This what happens when we allow christian nationalist billionaires control our lives.

Bay Area’s State Senator “Money” Mayes Middleton, after spending millions of his own money to secure his State House seat and State Senate seat, he now has his bank account set on becoming Texas Attorney General. In his first campaign finance report Mayes raised $973,735, spent $7,133,607, and has a Cash On Hand balance of $5,098,210. None of this makes cents but….

The $973,735, does not include Money’s personal fortune. Of the total raised $11,819,527, $10,000,000 came from his own pocket. Of the $973,735 actually raised, $720,393 came from out of the district including, Midland, San Antonio, Dallas, and others. This represents 74% of his total fundraising efforts. 54% of this actual fundraising, $526,653, came from deep pocket donations of $10,000 or more.

If elected Money has pledged to rid the State of “Sharia Law”, which doesn’t exist in the United States, and replace it with his Christian Nationalists ideologies whether you like it or not. He will promote law and order, except for the Jan 6 rioters and he will replace Ken Paxton’s on the ass of Trump. That is what money can do for “Money” Mayes Middleton.

Raising Campaign Cash: Bob Mitchell for Bay Area State Representative

January 19, 2026

Mitchell also has a $50,000 outstanding loan.

Since announcing for State Representative for the Bay Area Bob Mitchell has raised $91,831. 60% of the total, $55,719, came from Associated Republicans of Texas Campaign Fund out of Austin. They have provided research, mailers, push cards, and polling.

$25,000 came from Joan McKinney of Norman Frede Chevrolet. These two donors make up 88% of all his donations. 74% of his donations came from out of district. At least he isn’t taking money from billionaires with ties to Nick Fuentes.

There is a better choice in this race.

Scott Bowen’s Billionaire Buddy’s Donations

January 19, 2026

Bowen’s Billionaire Buddies are back.

Scott Bowen continues to fund his campaigns with money from his billionaire buddies, Timothy Dunn and Farris Wilks. As you may remember Dunn and Wilks created Defend Texas Liberty PAC and funneled money into the CCISD elections after encouragement from CCISD Trustee Scott Bowen. The PAC later disbanded after being caught meeting with Nick Fuentes a known white supremacist.  But they are back under a new name Texans United for a Conservative Majority. (TUCM)

Bowen raised a total of $122,751 since running for State Representative. Of that amount, 48% came from two donors. $25,000 came from TUCM and $35,000 came from Texans for Lawsuit Reform. TLR has raised millions to support candidates who will pledge to limit our rights to our civil court system. More on them later.

80% of his donations, $97,638 came from out of the district with about $1000 coming from out of State. Over $1000 came from Chris Russo. As was posted before:

Chris Russo. (More on Chris below) Director of Texans for Strong Borders. Was seen chauffeuring Fuentes to and from the meeting at Pale Horse Strategies this month. Multiple people, who asked not to be named to avoid drawing the attention of white nationalists, told the Tribune that Russo has ties to Fuentes’ so-called “groyper” movement. 

Bowen also has a $50,000 outstanding loan. There are better choices for House District 129. Do your own research.

Law Firm Issues Warning to La Marque City Councilman Concerning Sexual Harassment

December 20, 2025

Joseph Lowry is like a constipated two year old. He is full of shit.

Last week Lowry was online crying about being the victim of a hostile work environment created by the City. He looked like someone had just called him out and he, of course, was attempting to flip the issue in his favor. He claimed the City had created a hostile work environment because they wouldn’t had carry the agenda to his lazy ass so he can do his job. (Councilman Compian has volunteered to print, deliver, and read the agenda to Lowry.) (Ok He isn’t really reading it but you get the idea)

Well it turns out that the law firm representing the city sent Lowry an email with a warning to stop making sexual harassment statements against the City Manager. Here is a snippet:

The phrase “corrupt little snatch,” directed at a female city official, employs vulgar slang with clear sexual connotations. This type of sexually charged and derogatory name-calling is inappropriate, unprofessional, and has the potential to contribute to a hostile work environment for city employees. Such language undermines the civility expected in public discourse, erodes public trust in our local government, and may expose the City to unnecessary legal risks.

This isn’t the first time Lowry has made sexual harassment statements. First it was the cookie cake with the message “Recall These Balls” delivered to a city employee. Then there is the cute little poem he wrote about a City Council Member referring to his tiny ball sack. You can see those below.

But that email hasn’t stopped Lowry from using the slur “snatch” when referring to the City Manager. He made the comment on his Lousy News Network and on another video. (Comment is at 34:24) I expect the City will take further action against Lowry and they should.

HCDE Trustee Pleads No Contest to Unauthorized Practice of Law Charge

December 20, 2025

You have to wonder what it takes to get disbarred in Texas.

Harris County Department of Education Trustee Eric Dick was charged with 4 counts of unauthorized practice of law after solicitation clients in Hawaii after the Maui files in 2023. In December of 2025 Dick pled no contest to the charges. (See below) According to his plea he has to pay a fine of $220.

Dick is not up for reelection until 2030 but his wife Denise is running for a place on the HCDE Board in the 2026 Republican Primary.

Being charged for the Unauthorized Practice of Law is just another in a series of of bad news facing Dick including:

Another Republican Congressman Tucks Tail and Runs

December 1, 2025

Just in time to get healthcare subsidies for life.

Congressman Troy Nehls out of Richmond Texas is calling it quits after just 6 years in office. Nehls was elected in 2020 in a year that Joe Biden won against Trump. Nehls has a shady, racist, past from his time as Sheriff of Fort Bend County. He was fired the Richmond Police Department. He was also was caught profiling Latinos in speed traps. He then ran for Congress.

As a Congressman he was as ineffective as AOC. He failed to pass any bills he sponsored including House Bill 691, a bill to rename the Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia as the ‘‘Donald J. Trump International Airport’’. He has sponsored 261 bills, none were signed into law, all have been left in committee and died.

Nehls received media attention during the Jan 6 riots when he stared down the rioters who were attempting to enter the House Chambers. He eventually cut and ran as did his colleagues. Nehls later approved the pardon of the rioters including those convicted by a jury of seditious conspiracy and were serving 30 years in federal prison.

Lucky for Nehls he is under the Federal Employee Retirement System (FERS) and is eligible for a pension after just 6 years. For his 6 years of service he will recieve $962/month for the rest of his life. But WAIT! There is more! Unlike the 24 Million on the Affordable Care Act, Nehls and his wife will continue to receive his healthcare subsidies from the government for life! That’s almost FREE healthcare!

So Mr. conservative Law and order, don’t let the door hit you in the ass.
