Even Greg Abbott thinks referring to a woman as a “cunt” is reprehensible. From the Dallas Observer:

Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who has endorsed Donald Trump, condemned the tweet in a release. “The language is reprehensible and is an embarrassment. No true Texas gentleman would ever talk this way,” Abbott said.

Yeah right. Abbott endorsed a rotten human being who porked a porn star and mocked a disabled American. I am waiting to hear trump make fun of Abbott for running under a tree that was being cut down resulting in his own disability. Referring to anyone as a “cunt” is reprehensible but in the case of Sid Miller, it is well deserved.

According to the Texas Ethics Committee The Cunt raised $126,000, $116,000 from 28 donors who gave between $1000 and $10,000. He also loaned his campaign $200,000.

Sid Miller, like Trump is a rotten human being. Prior to 2016 anyone who used this slur towards a woman would have been run out of the state. Now it is a badge of honor for many Texans, including his donors.

Eva Guzman has served the business community well on the Texas Supreme Court and they are showing their appreciation by financing her campaign for Texas Attorney General. Wanna guess who she will be representing if she becomes AG? Anyone? Anyone?

According to the Texas Ethics Commission Texans (Businesses) for Eve Guzman raised $4,728,558 from 846 donors. 24 donors accounted for 70% of all donations for a total of $3,300,000. Common, everyday, hard working Texans who donated $50 or less accounted for $5400 or about .0011%. 678 donors gave between $1000 and $1 for a total of $181,353 or .038% of the total raised. 

76 donors of $10,000 or more accounted for 89% of all her donations totaling $4,207,000.

6 donors accounted for 60% of all donations totaling $2.800,000. Richard Weeley donated $600,000. Harlan Crow and Robert Rowling each donated $500,000. Texans for Lawsuit Reform (Companies against being held accountable) gave a total of $800,000.

State Representative Money Mayes Middleton is running for the Texas Senate. He has a bunch of suckers donating to his campaign.

According to the Texas Ethics Commission Money Mayes only raised $35,523 from a bunch of suckers including the Galveston County Tax Accessor, Cheryl Johnson who gave him $1000. A total of 101 gullible suckers gave Money Mayes anywhere from $5000 to $5.00. He doesn’t need it.

Money Mayes reported a total of $1,685,523. $1,650,000 came from his own deep pockets. Money has own money to spend and has become the sugar daddy of the district. He will probably set up a fund to put another Qanon republican on the CCISD school board. His challengers for SD11 hasn’t raised any money to speak of. Robert Mitchell President of the Bay Area Houston Economic Partnership only raised $1000 and Bianca Gracia raised only $29,000 most coming from in-kind donations.

Mitchell represents the true conservatives of the Republican Party and would have been a reasonable Senator. Unfortunately Money Mayes will smother the shit out of him with his unlimited pockets.

From The Houston Chronicle

If you are wondering who paid for mailers for the HISD Qanon candidates, look no more.

Save Texas Now is a PAC with treasurer Angela M. Box living at 2626 Fountain View Dr. #451. Save Texas Now raised $128,832 mainly from one person, Lynn Lasher, CEO of Somebody’s Mother’s Chocolate Sauce LLC. Lynn donated $100,000 and $$19,872.35. The remainder coming from a few donations.

Save Texas Now, or Lynn Lasher, paid $19,872.35 for a HISD runoff mailer. Save Texas Now, or Lynn, then donated $100,000 to Louie Gohmert for Texas Attorney General. Lynn seems like a wonderful MAGAt.

Dennis doesn’t seem to be too smart when it comes to fundraising.

According to the Texas Ethics Commission he only raised $61,870. 60 donors provided $49,760 of this total with an average of $843 per donor. 109 donors provided just $11,730 donating between $18 and $350 for an average of $107 per donor.

For someone who can easily cruz to victory Paul seems to enjoy wasting his donors money. Of the $61,870 raised he spent $32,516 on ads, $12,780 on Overhead, and $6798 on fundraising expenses for a total of $52,094 leaving him a balance of $13,367 Cash On Hand with a looming $111,000 loan.

Lucky for him he has no serious challenger.

NOTE: Dennis is a suck up. He likes wearing his ill fitting NRA hat at the polls as if that will get him any more votes. Last year he took a trip to Washington DC and stayed at the Trump Hotel.

Suck up.

Joe Jaworski is the former Mayor of Galveston, Texas and is running for Texas Attorney General.

According to the Texas Ethics Commission Joe raised $453,184 during this last reporting period. 65% came from Texans. $466 of that were unitemized donations. He had a 4 donors of $10,000 or more for a total of $60,000. 

Joe has been campaigning since July 2020 and has raised $1,193,717 to date.

Rochelle began her quest for office by filing for Congress, raised some money, then switched to the Texas Attorney General race. She is a young civil rights attorney from Brownsville, Texas.

According to Texas Ethics Reports Rochelle raised $111,419. $35,225 came from her congressional campaign. Of that $12,666 was in the form of in-kind donations from Rochelle for Congress with $22,559 coming in the form of donations.

Not counting the $35,225 from her previous campaign, $57,694 came from Texas donors.

Nine republicans have filed for Harris County Judge. Most have no idea of what they are doing and their fundraising reflects this. The republicans found a Latina named  Martinez to challenge Hidalgo probably because they couldn’t find someone named Hidalgo to run in order to cause confusion.

Martinez deserves a post all by herself and that will come soon. It will be very interesting. Kibosh loaned himself $60,000, raised $15,000 which included a $10,000 donation from his own pocket. Martian Dixon seems to have some fundraising capability.

Judge George Risner has drop his reelection plans to run against current County Commissioner Adrian Garcia in the Democratic primary. Based upon his lack of fundraising he might want to consider sitting this one out.

According to his financial report Risner raised only $2250, spent $1899, and has a balance of $51,550 which includes a personal loan of $51,550. The math doesn’t add up but that is a minor problem. Prior to running for Commissioner Risner raised $90,975 for his judicial seat. He received $6906 in in-kind contributions. His cash on hand is illegible. I’m not sure if he can transfer these funds from a judicial account to a COH (Candidate/Office Holder?).

Commissioner Garcia raised almost $587,000 and has $2.1Million cash on hand. Garcia has been endorsed by the Gulf Coast AFLCIO and local Democratic clubs.

From Reform Austin

From Reform Austin:

“Honored to have received the endorsement of President Donald Trump in my race for Texas Senate!” said Middleton “President Trump is continuing his work to elect conservative Republicans across America. I look forward to continue fighting for our values in the Texas Senate.” 

Money Mayes Middleton values the endorsement from Trump, the most racist president the United States has had. He doesn’t seem to have a problem with calling people “Pocahontas”, or calling Latinos “rapists” or siding with white supremacists. Money Mayes christian values doesn’t have a problem with porking a porn star while married, paying her off to keep her mouth shut, and then lying about it to get elected. Money Mayes christian values doesn’t seen to have a problem with constantly lying, making fun of the disabled, cheating people out of their hard earned money, or leading an insurrection against the government. 

Money Mayes claims to be a “conservative” but he isn’t. He is a republican. There is a HUGE difference between a conservative and a republican.

When you stop at Buc-ee’s to take a dump or stuff your face with beaver nuts, just remember some of your money is going in the toilet. 

I’ve written about the donations to Greg Abbott and others by the owner of Bucee’s, Arch Aplin. From When you stop at Bucee’s for beaver nuts

Aplin’s biggest donations went to Greg Abbott for $575,000 and Dan Patrick for $250,000.

In 2021 alone, just the first 6 months, Arch Aplin (Beaver Aplin, Arch Aplin III) has donated $485,000 to republicans in Texas including another $250,000 to Greg Abbott, the guy who brought you permit less carry and restricting women’s rights. So the next time you are taking a dump at Bucee’s just remember where your money is being donated to if you buy beaver nuts.
