Jimmy Fullen, candidate for Galveston County Sheriff, is under investigation by the Texas Ethics Commission (TEC) concerning a personal $100,000 loan he reported in his July 2023 campaign finance report. In February of 2024 that loan vanished. You can view all of his reports here.
Recently Fullen filed 4 amended reports concerning his multiple loans. His reports can be reviewed at the Galveston County campaign finance website. The amended reports list a loan from Mark Henry for $24,059.46, a personal loan for $32,000, and then a “personal loan from self was removed on form e”. That last one is bothering. It doesn’t list an amount.
But that was the $100,000 personal loan he reported on his July 2023 report. He claimed to have loaned his campaign the $100,000 on February 9, 2023. His amended report filed 20 months later simply removes this loan from the books exactly like the TEC complaint alleges.
The original issue was that he padded his campaign report making it look like he was rolling in cash when he actually wasn’t. His Cash on Hand should have been reduced from $204,000 to $104,000. During this reporting period he was running against an opponent in the primary. It has been my experience that the Texas Ethics Commission frowns upon padding a campaign report especially when the candidate has an opponent. Fullen’s treasurer hand writes all his reports. This wasn’t a technical error.
It seems clear that by filing this amended report he has admitted to padding his report and breaking the laws of the Texas Ethics Commission. If you can’t follow the law how can you enforce the law?

Last year Steven Hotze, the megadonor of the Harris County Republican Party and chief election denier was indicted on multiple counts concerning……wait for it….voter fraud. According to the Texas Tribune:
Conservative activist Steven Hotze on Wednesday was indicted on two felony charges related to his alleged involvement in an air conditioning repairman being held at gunpoint in 2020 during a bizarre search for fraudulent mail ballots that did not exist, according to his attorney, Gary Polland.
A former police officer was also indicted for actually holding the repairman at gunpoint. In August of this year Hotze was charged with two more counts, Case # 188121801010 – 3 AGG ROBBERY-DEADLY WPN and Case # 188121901010 – 3 ENGAGE ORG CRIME USE/EXHIBIT DW. These are some very serious charges which could lead to Hotze spending a lot of time in jail and losing his “Doctors” license.
Hozte has also been sued by the repairman for an unspecified amount. You can read the entire petition against Hotze here. It is a great read.

In the words of Rage Against the Machine “Some of those who work forces and the same who burn crosses.”
Trump spoke to the FOP and accepted their endorsement even after he vowed to pardon the insurrectionist who beat the hell out of police on Jan 6. He, once again, talked about voter fraud even though there is no evidence of voter fraud, and the attendees loved it. He mocked Nancy Pelosi’s husband who was viciously attacked by a home invader with a hammer. Those in attendance laughed about it.
Trump has been the poster child for lawlessness and disorder and yet the police in the audience didn’t care. He is a felon, found guilty on 34 felony counts. He has been indicted for 50+ more felony charges including obstruction of justice, conspiracy to commit fraud, inciting a riot and more and yet they don’t care. He instigated an attack on the United States Capitol which killed fellow police officers. He watched for 3 hours as police officers were being attacked, crushed, and beaten with United States flags and yet they didn’t care.
These assholes have badges. They are suppose to enforce law and order. They are suppose to protect us from attacks by rioters, insurrectionists, home invaders, and lawless behavior. We are suppose to put signs in our lawn saying “Back the Blue” showing our support for these assholes.
The FOP claims to have over 300,000 members. That is a lot of assholes. With badges. I cannot believe they are all in support of trump. There are just too many good police officers in our community.
I hate to beat a dead horse. It makes me look petty. But then again, I can be petty.
Yesterday Justin Hicks disclosed who loaned his campaign the $12,000 he reported in July. Turns out it was from his wife, Deborah Hicks, who is also his campaign treasurer, who also forgot to list the loan on his campaign finance report. So that mystery is solved unless the Texas Ethics Commission wants to pursue this further to determine where the money actually came from. They have the power to subpoena bank records to determine if someone else provided the money for the loan but usually they will call it a day, assess a fine, and move on.
But the discussion on Facebook has led to more questions about Hicks’ bankruptcy case. According to public records Hicks was required to disclose all his assets including back accounts, cars, and other items like guns. (yes guns. Go figure) Documents submitted to the Court shows he did not have any guns or $12,000 in cash. If you recall Hicks had his house up for sale during his bankruptcy on Zillow. Zillow posted pictures, one includes a gun rack with 2 guns, which were not reported. Failing to report information on government documents could be a felony. Ask Hunter Biden. Maybe Hicks borrowed the guns for the picture and maybe he didn’t have to disclose his spouse’s assets since he filed for bankruptcy, not his wife. I wonder if witholding information is a violation of the rules of the court.
BTW. My 5 readers might remember Hicks pulled me into his bankruptcy case that resulted in the Judge assessing a fine of $175 for violating the rules of the court. I’m not bitter. LOL. You can read about it here.
If these are his guns then it is disturbing the guns are easily accessible even with a small refrigerator that could be a step to access them. Proper storage of weapons is a conservative value. It makes me wonder what kind of conservative doesn’t properly store his weapons or is not fiscally responsible, or doesn’t vote.
You can view all of Hicks’ bankruptcy documents at KicksHicks.com.
I expected Justin Hicks’ ethics complaint, filed with the State, concerning an unreported $12,000 loan to be resolved quickly but not like this.
The Texas Ethics Commission (TEC) began an investigation into an anonymous loan Hicks reported on his July report. According to his report Hicks raised $0 but listed an outstanding loan amount of $12,000. None of his previous reports listed the date of the loan or who loaned the money. The TEC accepted the complaint and it looks like Hicks responded quickly to put this issue to rest………sort of.
Quick background story Back in 2009 a complaint against State Representative John Davis was filed for hiding tens of thousand of dollars behind a credit card. Instead of listing what the campaign purchased, how much was paid, and who was paid, he listed only a payment to AMEX. Davis paid all of his campaign expenses with an AMEX and then used his donors money to pay the monthly bill. Davis quickly amended his reports and, as required by law, detailed his expenditures. That amended report led to another complaint resulting in him having to repay his campaign thousands for spending his donor’s money on personal items. SC-2610197 & SC-2610215
Back to Hicks. So like Davis, Hicks filed an amended report this time listing when the loan was made and who made the loan, and like Davis, something isn’t right. According to the amended report the loan was made on 7/12/24, one day before the report was filed with League City. How could the campaign treasurer just “forget” to list a $12,000 loan, the only funds available to use for the campaign? It is concerning because the person who gave the loan is Justin Hicks wife, Deborah Hicks, and the treasurer of Justin Hicks’ campaign is his wife, Deborah Hicks.
It might be worse Hicks has recently been discharged from a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. He was required to list all assets including property, vehicles, guns (he didn’t list any), bank accounts, and anything else of value. The Texas Ethics Commission frowns upon those who hide campaign donations. Usually it costs more in fines than the amount of the hidden donations if caught. Bankruptcy is handled in Federal Courts. The TEC would have no jurisdiction in a follow up complaint but they do have the authority to demand proof of where this $12,000 came from.
It just seems strange that right after coming out of bankruptcy Hicks can suddenly qualify for a new car loan and come up with $12,000 to finance his campaign for League City Council. Maybe he is a financial genius after all.
It’s over. Finally. Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg held a press conference (video here) detailing the election fraud charges concerning the 2022 elections. The two year investigation found no evidence of election fraud. Nothing. Zero. Zip. Nada. Just like the Secretary of State stated in their 147 page report:
Texas Secretary of State, Jane Nelson, a Republican issued a 147 page report on the audit of the 2022 election in Harris County. In short the Republican said “The allegations of election fraud in the 2022 Harris County election are total bullshit.”.
Ogg said the same thing. So Ogg, Mattress MAGAt Mac, Senator Paul Bettencourt, and all the whiny little bitches of the Harris County Republican Party were left with egg on their faces. The 22 frivolous lawsuits have been dismissed or withdrawn. In the end it was a complete waste of time, resources, and press conferences.
Ogg did file charges against a worker assigned to providing supplies, including the paper ballots, claiming he was working two jobs possibly at the same time and he neglected his duties. This led to a paper shortage in a couple of voting locations. The SOS could not find a single voter that was affected by this. Not one. If this employee was double dipping then that is something that needs to be addressed by the court but again there was no fraud. None.
It is time to get over it. Quit whining. You lost. Again.
Scott Bowen, Corporal Chaos of CCISD was caught on camera. He was supporting the voucher scheme which will take more funding away from the district. He proudly authored a resolution at the State Republican Executive Committee (SREC) in support of “educational freedom”. That is code words for vouchers. The resolution goes on to demand Governor Abbott to place the issue as an “emergency item”. This should be done in the next legislation session coming in 2025. An emergency item has priority over all other bills.
Bowen has a history of advocating against public education as a Trustee of CCISD. Last year a formal grievance was filed against him. He used his position during a hearing in Austin to advocate against the school district’s board. His 3 minutes of fame was caught on camera. The bill eventually failed but he got his digs in.
Vouchers are very popular in the Republican Party. The voucher scheme will give parents $8000. This amount is much more than they pay in school taxes. It will partially pay for their kids private school tuition. It’s welfare for the wealthy. Private schools are very expensive. Only the wealthy, who are wealthy enough to not need a handout, can afford them. There is nothing good about vouchers.
Last month League City Mayor Pro Tem, Justin Hicks, campaign finance reports came under investigation by the Texas Ethics Commission. Hicks claimed an outstanding loan balance of $12,000 but never reported it in any previous reports. This month Jimmy Fullen is also now under investigation by the Ethics Commission for some possible violations.
As stated before half of Fullen’s donations in Feb of 2024 were in the form of a personal loan of $100,000 yet in the next campaign finance report that loan was gone. There was no sign the loan was paid off. It just looked like a way to pad his campaign account to look like it brought in over $200,000 for the period.
There are other strange loans and reporting but the $100,000 loan stands out. Fullen now has 10 days to respond to the complaint. As the letter to Fullen states:
The TEC accepts jurisdiction over these allegations. This does not mean that the TEC has found that a violation occurred. It means that the sworn complaint meets the TEC’s legal and technical form requirements for accepting jurisdiction.
This is some serious shit folks. Jimmy Fullen, candidate for Galveston County Sheriff, should ask Hunter Biden what happens when you falsify a government document.
Jimmy Fullen has some serious ethical issues that will be addressed after the election. The Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) has scheduled a hearing concerning Fullen’s falsifying government documents, a charge that could end with the revocation of his law enforcement license and possible felony charges. The allegations are serious and well documented at https://www.therealtruejimmyfullen.com.
Do yourself a favor. Go peruse https://www.therealtruejimmyfullen.com. It’s not just a list of very serious allegations, it is a list with supporting documentation. It is no wonder why the TCOLE issued the following statement after their investigation:
Specifically, Respondent omitted, failed to disclose, or provided false or untruthful information related to job experience, having been disciplined at work, having been fired or asked to resign from a place of employment, having been accused of discrimination, having been the subject of a written complaint at work, having failed to make or been late on a court-ordered payment, having been part of a civil lawsuit, and failing to disclose two arrests.
In other words, he falsified a government document with the intent to harm someone, that being his primary candidate, and that is a felony. So where is the Galveston County District Attorney? These are very serious allegations about a candidate for the Chief law enforcement officer of the county. Lucky for Fullen the DA is a republican, has announced his retirement, and will probably give him a pass just like all the other elected officials who have endorsed him.
If Fullen’s last name was “Biden” the DA would have been all over him like a republican candidate for president on a porn star.
League City Council voted to disband their Ethics Review Board. They should soon update their website to reflect this. Last month they were considering gutting their Code of Ethics including removing “Conducting themselves with integrity”. You can see the red lines here but here are a few tidbits:
Removes section titled “Rules of ethical conduct”.
Removes limitation on gifts to city officials
Removes the entire complaint process against city officials.
Removes the ethics review panel
League City will now resort to using the services of the Texas Ethics Commission which only addresses violations of campaign finance law like padding your campaign finance reports with fake loans. Other violations could be addressed by the County District Attorney but they only pursue criminal offenses.
I’m sure they justified this as a way to save money.
There is a serious ethical issue with the republican nominee for Galveston County Sheriff, Jimmy Fullen, but lucky for Fullen he is a Republican.
The Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) has recommended to revoke the law enforcement license of Galveston County Constable Jimmy Fullen for omitting his multiple records of misconduct on an official document. (His record of misconduct is available at https://www.therealtruejimmyfullen.com) If the full board agrees, Fullen will not be able to hold the office of Sheriff. The republican controlled TCOLE has agreed to a hearing with Fullen after the election leaving voters in the dark. All of this sounds so familiar.
Jimmy isn’t the only republican candidate or office holder with ethical, illegal, and immoral challenges. The top law enforcement officer, Ken Paxton, was impeached by the Texas House with overwhelming evidence of breaking the law. (Go read the official allegations and watch the hearings) Luckily his republican buddies in the Senate acquitted him, including local Senator Money Mayes Middleton. The civil suit against Paxton, which prompted this impeachment, will now continue guarantying another embarrassing display of evidence for all to ignore and a massive settlement which the taxpayers will pay.
Fullen has a long list of elected officials who are willing to ignore his lies and omissions on an official document just like they ignored Hunter Biden who was convicted on providing false information on official documents. (LOL. They actually cheered Biden’s conviction) They also have given a pass to those who beat up cops, incite a riot, steal classified documents, conspire to disrupt a government proceeding, and falsify documents.
This is the new Republican Party. The party that talks a great game about “law and order” and looks the other way when their buddies break the law but demand order from others.
WTF? If you can’t follow the law you shouldn’t be trusted with upholding the law.
Justin Hicks, the League City Mayor Pro Tem, has received a letter from the Texas Ethics Commission regarding his disclosure of a $12,000 loan to his campaign. (you can read it here) Regrettably, there’s no evidence of such a loan appearing in any of his campaign finance documents since his candidacy for Council. However, he does acknowledge two loans totaling $900 and $600, which he accurately reported, indicating he’s aware of his actions. Additionally, his wife serves as the campaign treasurer.
The reason behind this action remains unclear. It seems illogical. In his most recent report, he managed to raise no funds and has a balance of $0 Cash On Hand. Yet, he has recorded a $12,000 outstanding loan. Should he have used campaign funds for this loan, he could have settled it by reporting the transaction promptly. The Ethics Commission is typically harsh on candidates or officials caught inflating their accounts with fictitious loans or donations, taking such matters very seriously.
This issue is not unique to Hicks. Candidate for Galveston County Sheriff, Jimmy Fullen, reported a personal loan of $100,000 in his February report, just before the primary elections. Subsequently, this loan vanished from his records without any repayment. Such actions are illegal under the Texas Ethics Commission’s regulations.
If one is unable to comply with the law, it raises questions about their ability to uphold it. It’s a matter of common cents.
Jimmy Fullen, candidate for Galveston County Sheriff has raised $66,125 as reported in his July campaign finance report. He has spent a huge amount of $100,871 leaving him a balance of $23,521. His total haul of $66,125 includes $42,250 of his own money, a $10,000 donation from Joel Caldwell leaving only $13,875 from other donors.
In his previous report, filed in February, he listed over $71,000 in loans from two individuals. His latest report does not account for these loans. His personal loan of $100,000 reported prior to February was removed without noting if it was paid off. His loan disclosures need to be addressed by the Ethics Commission.
Large contributions have all dried up. Nothing from Tillman Fertitta or Senator Mayes Middleton and others. Of the $181,570 raised in his Feb report $159,059 came from just 9 donors. Maybe they are concerned about the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement revoking his law enforcement license. The TCOLE unanimously voted to recommend revocation. His hearing is set after the election. If the TCOLE revokes his license he will not be able to serve as Sheriff.
Every six years, on a staggered schedule, every Commission in Texas is subjected to a “Sunset Review”. This review includes a self evaluation of the Commission and public comments, resulting in a bill that addresses the needed improvements to guarantee the Commission is performing per law. Here is the catch. If that bill fails to pass, the Commission fails to continue.
The Texas Ethics Commission is under Sunset Review and will be addressed in the 2025 legislation session. As per The Texas Tribune the Commission has no authority to collect fines and late fees. Instead they can only refer the individual/PAC to the Texas Attorney Generals office of Collections. This office has done little besides sending threatening letters to those who refuse to pay. Case in point, Harris County Department of Education Trustee Eric Dick who owes $40,000 and has refused to pay.
Since Paxton took office in 2015, the ethics commission has referred 2,500 unpaid fines to the attorney general for enforcement, the Tribune found. During that time, Paxton’s office has filed just 175 enforcement lawsuits, or 7% of the cases referred to it. Most occurred early in his tenure. After filing none in 2020 and 2021, the attorney general’s office brought 18 cases in 2022, 25 last year and just one so far in the first six months of 2024.
Because of this inaction elected officials just ignore the Commission and refuse to pay. In all the Commission is owed $3.6 Million. I’ve seen this before. The Republicans will now blame the Commission and will fail to pass the bill preserving the Commission instead of giving them the power to collect the debt.
Public comments are due by August 15, 2024. You can provide comments here.
It’s just amazing how much hypocrisy the Republican Party can tolerate. Mayor Pro Tem Justin Hicks said absolutely nothing about the violence on Jan 6 which had no place in our country but he had to weigh in on his lord and savior Donald Trump. After Jan 6 he didn’t ask if the families of those who died defending the Capitol were ok. League City residents should be so proud.
Campaign finance reports for League City have been filed. You can view them on League City’s website. Here is a summary:
Mayor Nick Long reported no fundraising but donated $10,000 to Galveston County candidate for Sheriff Jimmy Fullen. He also donated $5000 to Hank Dugie. He has about $13,000 cash on hand (COH).
Mayor Pro Tem Justin Hicks has reported no fundraising or spending. He has $0 COH.
Council Member Andy Mann reported no fundraising or spending. He has $0 COH.
Council Member Tommy Cones reported no fundraising or spending. He has $17.00 COH.
Council Member Chad Dressler reported no fundraising or spending. He has $0 COH.
Council Member Sean Saunders reported no fundraising or spending. He has $0 COH.
The Texas Ethics Commission fined Texas Attorney General $11,000 for failure to file a legally required campaign finance report. He has refused to pay the fine so the TEC referred it to the Texas Attorney Generals Office for collection. His office has refused to collect the fine.
But he is not the only one. According to the Houston Chronicle the TEC has over $750,000 in fines the AG’s office has refused to demand payment for. Case in point, my favorite ethical elected official, Eric Dick. Dick was fined a total of $40,000, $10,000 of that he agreed to pay in lieu of an investigation. He hasn’t paid. Last December the AGs sent him a demand letter and claimed they would file suit against him if he did not pay the fine within 10 days. It’s been 6 months. I’ve requested a status on whether the AG’s office is going to take action. They have refused to respond.
The TEC has a list of delinquent filers on their website. Paxton is on that list. They do not have a list of those who have been fined or who have agreed to a settlement yet have not paid, such as Eric Dick. The only way to find this information is to submit a public information request. I have. It is available to view here.
Don’t expect the AG’s office to take action against the AG. They won’t do Dick. Literally.
Last month I was sanctioned by the Judge in League City Mayor Pro Tem Justin Hicks’ bankruptcy hearing. Read on.
Background. In September of 2023 Mayor Pro Tem Justin Hicks filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in the Southern District Court, Case #23-80179. If you are interested in the details, the case documents are public record via a free PACER account. Filing bankruptcy is a burden on a family and we should hope for a good result for the sake of his family.
But, this is Justin Hicks. Someone who ran as a fiscal conservative, sits on League City Council, is responsible for the city’s $300M budget, voted as Mayor Pro Tem by most of his colleagues, and has managed to piss off a large segment of the community with his extreme, partisan, rhetoric. He has worked hard to push his extreme agenda by purging books, librarians, and true conservatives from running in non partisan city elections. He has meddled in school board elections endorsing unqualified extremist candidates and supporting litigation against CCISD after his candidate lost. He has posted divisive memes and posts on his social media page. He is not a conservative. He’s a jack ass.
But, back to his bankruptcy. As I mentioned the bankruptcy records are all public. The hearings are open to the public also. I attended one of the hearings with my friend, Heidi. We walked into the hearing and sat quietly in the back row. Hicks was sitting up front. Hicks turned around, looked as us, and left. Moments later the Judge called the case, noticed Hicks had left, and said “Oh. He left”. After realizing he was not returning, we left too.
The photo Unfortunately, not knowing the rules of the court prohibiting photos, my friend took a pic from outside of the courtroom of the back of Justin’s head and posted it to a social media page. Justin discovered the pic the next day. I have to admit I was unaware of the rules of the court. There are no signs on the door or any warnings posted, but ignorance isn’t an excuse.
Hicks drags us into his case Hicks, representing himself with the skills set of Jackie Chiles, filed a motion for sanctions against us. The motion claimed he had a right to a peaceful hearing without people, like myself, in attendance and that a picture was taken against court rules. He claimed we were dressed incognito and were there to disrupt the hearing. (It was cold and rainy so appropriate attire was necessary) The motion was denied due to technical errors, but the judge gave him instructions on how to refile his motion, and he did. The judge was also very clear that the United States Constitution allows citizens to attend public hearings, so only the violation of the court rules was included in the new motion for sanctions.
The sanctions We attended a second hearing to address the sanctions and spoke under oath to the Judge. We were given the opportunity to address Hicks. The entire transcript is available if interested. Hicks submitted a proposed sanction order for the Judge. It included a $2000 daily fine, incarceration, and factory resets of our phones. In the end the Judge sanctioned us a total of $350 split evenly and required us to write a letter of apology. I have complied with the letter noting that I never took any pictures. Hicks stated under oath that he had no evidence showing otherwise and I offered my phone to the court for review, again under oath. Nevertheless I got hit with a $175 fine payable to Hicks for his time and effort to file the motion.
The time and effort We never saw a breakdown of his time and effort and his expenses. In his motion he wanted to be reimbursed for his time and mileage driving to and from the court even for the times he filed the erroneous motion. That part was denied. He could have sent everything via the mail like I did. Hicks also wanted time off of work for himself and his wife, mileage, and pain and suffering. Most was denied. He also asked for sanctions of thousands of dollars. Again denied. So in the end we had to pay Hicks $175 each to help him pay his bills.
But there is Good news for Hicks. At his last hearing Hicks said his career is back on track and he finally got a job and was able to buy a new car for his wife! That’s good for his family. His bankruptcy case is now closed.
Hicks re-election The above quote could be a good attack ad against Hicks like the one attacking a candidate for city council and supporting Hicks’ endorsed candidate, Courtney Chadwell. Months prior to this hit piece going out Hicks had filed his own bankruptcy. I’ve asked Chadwell what he thinks about Hicks “own record of being irresponsible with money and the fact that [he] will be a liability to the city” when managing the $300M+ annual budget. He has not responded.
The Risk. Hicks shouldn’t file for reelection. Instead he should spend more time concentrating on his fiscal stability and block walking for the Trump reelection campaign. Conservatives probably think the same but Republicans will give him a pass and reelect him. Veterans know you can’t get a security clearance with a looming bankruptcy over your head. Anyone who is responsible for contract negotiations especially for government entities could be a risk while being in financial trouble. We will see in November if voters are concerned with security or hypocrisy. My bet is on hypocrisy.
CCISD Trustee was the guest speaker of True Texas Project.
TTP was thrown out of another venue due to their support of white nationalist figures and rhetoric. Back in 2022 Buzz Aldrin’s church in Webster banned the far right group from having their meetings in the facility after learning about the group. According to The Texas Tribune another group, the Dallas Botanical Gardens, has cancelled TTP’s event stating they “rejects all forms of hate speech, discrimination, or bigotry.”
And they have a point. A big one. Even some of the most white wing of the party, including Don Huffines, has joined 12 other speakers and have cancelled their appearance at the event. From the Tribune:
Billed as the 15th anniversary celebration for True Texas Project, the conference agenda claims that there is a “war on white America,” and urges attendees to embrace once-fringe ideologies such as Christian nationalism or the Great Replacement Theory, which claims that there is an intentional, often Jewish-driven, effort to destroy white people through immigration, interracial marriage or the LGBTQ+ community.
Other speakers include “figures with ties to antisemites and extremists, including Paul Gottfried, a far-right author who mentored neo-Nazi Richard Spencer”. TTP is supported by the two republican billionaires out of the Dallas area, Tim Dunn and Farris Wilks. They also created Defend Texas Liberty PAC. The leadership was caught meeting with known white supremacist Nick Fuentes. The backlash was so bad the PAC folded but they created another under a new name.
This is who CCISD Scott Bowen associates with. Do yourself a favor and read the two articles from the Tribune. The first outs the group and their agenda for the birthday bash. The second is about the speakers cancelling their appearance. Here are a few comments from the speakers:
“I know that the True Texas Project gets things done and I need each and every one of you to continue to fight for the conservative principles we all stand for,” –Ted Cruz
“Every good and [decent] and honorable person associated with this event should back out,” Travis County GOP Chair Matt Mackowiak
It’s a “dumb and inaccurate way to promote the Republican agenda” and that he “was never given a lineup of speakers or topics.” Senator Don Huffines
“I categorically reject white replacement theory and never write or speak about it. I’m not interested in any of that stuff.” Todd Bensman, a fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies
“What kind of stupid son of a bitch would associate with these racist assholes?” Me.
Republican candidate for the Galveston County Sheriff’s Office, Jimmy Fullen was under investigation by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement. They have recommended revoking his peace officer license. You can read the entire recommendation here. (It’s bad) This would make him ineligible to be Sheriff, if elected, but don’t worry. This is Texas where law and order seldom is heard. KPRC has reported on Fullen here.
Fullen is endorsed by most every republican in the county including Senator Money Mayes Middleton who let Ken Paxton off in his impeachment trial. I watched the entire impeachment trial. Every single minute of it. How anyone could have ignored his criminal behavior is beyond me. Nevertheless the Republican Party is circling the wagons and will protect him like a porn star using a condom.
The TCOLE has recommended revoking his license. In their recommendation they note:
Specifically, Respondent [Fullen] omitted, failed to disclose, or provided false or untruthful information related to job experience, having been disciplined at work, having been fired or asked to resign from a place of employment, having been accused of discrimination, having been the subject of a written complaint at work, having failed to make or been late on a court-ordered payment, having been part of a civil lawsuit, and failing to disclose two arrests.
OUCH. You can read the entire letter to Fullen here. He has 20 days to respond. He has two choices, agree to the order or schedule a formal, public hearing. There is a website detailing his conduct at The Real True Jimmy Fullen. If half of this is true, and it is all based upon public information, he is a perfect Republican candidate for Sheriff.
Law and Order in Texas. It’s like Beavis and Butthead.
