Alexandra MAGAt Mealer. $9 Million down the drain.

November 9, 2022

Alexandra Mealer has conceded the election to County Judge Lina Hidalgo.

After raising and spending nearly $9 Million Mealer came up short. In her report filed in mid October her sugar daddies came to her campaign:

According to her last report Mealer raised $4.9 Million a tad shy of what Weekley had promised. $1.7 Million came from 9 individuals including $120,000 from the MAGAt Mac family. Another $500,000 came from 10 individuals/PACs giving $50,000 each. 19 individuals/PACs gave Mealer 47% of her entire donations. The report is sprinkled with a number of $25,000 donors. Mealer definitely has the republican sugar daddy support.

But that wasn’t all. Days before the election she raised another $4 Million mostly from republican sugar daddies and various PACs including over $250,000 from Mattress MAGAt Mac and $250,000 from Modesett. $9 Million for a county judge races is insane. The way Harris County records candidates donations is not easy to analyze unlike the Texas Ethics Commission but it is clear from just perusing through her reports the sugar daddy moneybags came out for Mealer.

And they lost.

Harris County turns down Dick

November 9, 2022

I think Harris County has had enough Dick to last a lifetime.

Eric Dick, the Harris County Department of Education Trustee, who was fined by the Texas Ethics Commission $30,000 for various violations and was referred to the Texas Bar for possible disciplinary action, lost last night even though he wasn’t running.

His wife, Danielle Dick, was running for his position and lost. Danielle didn’t raise any money and didn’t file any reports because she said she would not raise/spend over $950. Obviously she didnt. She lost to Andrea Duhon and the HCDE will finally be free of Dicks.

In another race that took me by surprise because I didn’t know he was even running, Chris Carmona lost to Andrea Beall for District Judge, 185th Judicial District. Who is Chris Carmona you ask?

Chris Carmona is a lawyer in Houston. He’s not only a friend of Eric Dick, he represented Eric Dick in his formal hearing at the Texas Ethics Commission, the one where Dick was fined $30,000. The hearing was a train wreck for Carmona. Dick was subpoenaed to show at the hearing in person or by Zoom. He did neither. I watched/listened to the entire hearing and in my non-lawyer opinion it was an absolute disaster for Carmona. Carmona has run before, I believe it was for City Council, and he lost then too.

So maybe, just maybe, Harris County is done with Dick.

Indicted voter fraud activist calls for a bounty for….voter fraud

November 7, 2022

There is absolutely no limit to the corruption and stupidity of the republican party or for those who vote for them.

Aubrey Taylor is some kind of “journalist”. I say that with as much sincerity as saying bloggers are journalists. His publications have endorsements and advertisements for both sides of the political aisle but lately he seems to have gone full blown MAGAt chumming up to Steven Hotze. Hotze was indicted for a voter scheme and faces 2 felony counts. From 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.

Hotze, 71, was indicted by a Harris County grand jury and faces one count of unlawful restraint and one count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Court filings in the case were not available Wednesday evening. Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg declined to comment.

GOP megadonor Steven Hotze charged after a bogus election fraud scheme led a former cop to threaten a repairman

So now this indicted republican mega donor is offering a bounty for voter fraud the very fraud that the Texas Attorney General spent $2.2 million to find only 3 instances out of 10 million votes in 2020. According to the indictment Hotze paid a former Houston Police Officer, Mark Aguirre, $250,000 to investigate voter fraud. He then held, at gun point, an AC repairman claiming that he had over 750,000 illegal voters in the back of his truck. (he didn’t). Aguirre was indicted on 2 felonies and the AC guy is suing Hotze. From the Houston Chronicle:

David Lopez, the repairman, filed a lawsuit Tuesday against Hotze and his organization, Liberty Center for God and Country, for civil conspiracy, civil theft, and aiding and abetting Mark Aguirre, the former Houston police captain who faces a felony charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon stemming from an Oct. 19 confrontation with Lopez.

Later it was learned that there are phone call recordings with the US Attorney, Ryan Patrick, son of Lt Governor Dan Patrick, asking for support for this scheme against the AC repairman. Yep, voice recordings. You can’t get any more fucked up than this.

So now Hotze is willing to pay $50,000 for evidence of the mythical voting fraud. It’s like looking for a unicorn, blind folded, in the ocean. You can watch conservative Gary Polland, his attorney, try to sugar coat this indictment on Fox News here. It is fun to watch him grovel. He is just so fucked.

Republican sugar daddies come through for Jack Morman

November 5, 2022

Who would have thunk it?

Jack Morman’s sugar daddies came through for him in his last campaign finance report. He “raised” over $811,000 with $550,000 coming from various white wing PACs in in-kind contributions. He “raised” $260,000 with $100,000 coming from Richard Weekley and another $100,000 from Alan Hassenflu another sugar daddy wannabe. Commissioner Steve Radick gave $20,000 as did Tom Ramsey(?).

All in all he raised only $20,000 from various donors. Makes you want to ask “Whose your daddy Jack?”

More missing campaign reports.

October 21, 2022

OK. This is weird.

As mentioned, Danielle Dick, candidate for Harris County Department of Education has not filed a campaign finance report which was due Oct 11, 2022. As of today no report has been filed. I believe that even if you did not raise money or spend money you are still required to file a report. If that is the case, then Dick is following in her husbands ethical foot steps.

Danielle’s treasurer, according to her previous report, is Joe Synoradzki who is her husband’s treasurer also. He is also the treasurer for Joseph Saldana who is also running for Harris County Department of Education Position 1. Joseph has also failed to file a report.

Not quite sure what this is all about. Maybe the Texas Ethics Commission can sort it out.

Missing Campaign Finance reports: Danielle Dick

October 20, 2022

Danielle Dick is running for Harris County Department of Education. Her husband, Eric Dick, is currently on the board but will leave in January to pursue other interests. He ran unsuccessfully for the Harris County Republican nomination for County Treasurer. Even the Republicans had enough of Dick.

Last March Dick was fined $30,000 by the Texas Ethics Commission, which at the time was the 2nd highest fine in TEC history, for various reasons. His final order can be reviewed here. Usually complaints like Dick’s end in a slap on the wrist, a small fine, and a promise not to do it again. Unfortunately for Dick it ended in a large fine and the TEC referred him to the Texas Bar for possible disciplinary action.

Joe Synoradzki according to LinkedIn works at the Dick Law Firm. He is also the treasurer for Dick’s campaign and at this point should know the rules of the Ethics commission inside and out. He is also the treasurer for Eric’s wife Danielle and as of today has not filed an campaign finance report which was due earlier this month.

Usually not filing a timely report ends with a slap on the wrist, a small fine, and a promise not to do it again. Let’s see how this one plays out.

The signs of a reborn Republican Party. This is who they are.

October 5, 2022
Democrat’s signs in Fort Bend

You won’t see republican leadership denounce the defacing of political signs in Fort Bend and it Houston just like they have refused to denounce the racist comment made by trump towards Mitch McConnell’s wife, Elaine Chao. They are silent. They have been ever since trump became their nominee. They not only tolerate racism, sexism, stupidity, corruption, and acting like a bunch of dicks, they encourage it. They think it is funny and have a silent laugh about it.

This is who they are. This is the new Republican Party. Racists, homophobic, Korrupt, Khaotic, and Kruel. The return of the KKK.

Republican sugar daddy jumps into the Harris County Commission race

September 30, 2022

Candidate for Harris County Judge, Alexandra MAGAt Mealer, is getting a bump in funding from one of the many sugar daddies of the Republican Party.

In the last filing period, County Judge Lina Hidalgo reported fundraising over $1 Million with 70% coming from small donors. MAGAt Mealer, on the other hand, raised $765,000 with just 7 individuals providing 67% of her total fundraising.

MAGAt Mealer’s donations came from the major sugar daddies of the Republican Party such as David Weekley the homebuilder and founder of Texans for Lawsuit Reform (Deform) and Mattress MAGAt Mack. According to a leaked email MAGAt Mealer will be getting a $5 Million boost from David Weekley which should be reported in the next week or so.

Mealer is a typical republican. She is an election denier (unless her team wins) and is a liar much like Trump, Abbott, Cruz, and other republicans and she will be loyal servant to the NRA. Campaign finance reports will be filed next week.

Harris County Republican Commissioners. Korrupt. Kruel. Khaotic.

September 20, 2022
From the Houston Chronicle

Leave it to the two white guys, Commissioner Cagle, and Commissioner Ramsey, on the Harris County Commissioners Court to block a vote on the budget they agreed to just to sow Khaos. According to the Houston Chronicle:

Harris County employees will forgo planned raises and cost of living adjustments if the 2023 budget adopted at Commissioners Court this week goes into effect, according to an email sent by County Administrator David Berry to department heads.

The smaller spending plan was adopted after the Republican members skipped Tuesday’s Commissioners Court meeting, forcing the court’s three Democrats to adopt the same budget as last year rather than a proposed budget that included around $100 million in additional general fund spending, much of it spread across county law enforcement agencies.

This is what the Republican Party has become, the new KKK. Korrupt. Kruel. Khaotic. The lead attorney representing the State of Texas, Ken Paxton, is under multiple criminal indictments awaiting trial. Governor Abbott has illegally lured immigrants, who enter the United States legally under international law, with false promises and bussed them out of state. And the republican members of the Commissioners Court decided not to show up for work leading to Khaos and the adoption of a budget that will affect Harris County employees. This is Korruption. This is Kruelty. This is Khaotic.

This is the new party. This is the old party. The KKK. My gosh. What the *uck is wrong with you?

Harris County MAGAt Candidate calls for 1,000 new police officers (non-paid)

September 9, 2022

The Houston Police Officer’s Union might want to reconsider it’s endorsement for Harris County Judge. According to Houston Public Media candidate Alexandra Mealer wants to hire 1000 new county police. Unfortunately she doesn’t have the money to pay them but she promises she will find it. Her promises are about as valuable as an endorsement from the HPOU who have endorsed past winners like Tony Buzbee for Major.

HPOU is just recovering from their previous President’ screwup when he blamed and threatened Black Lives Matter on live TV after a raid which seriously injured 4 officers. The raid, after investigations, has resulted in the leader of the raid being charged with multiple felonies and cases being thrown out and overturned. Mealer might want to put a bit of distance between her and HPOU.

Much like Trump and Abbott Mealer is depending upon one proven principal when conducting her campaign. Lie. Lie like a dog. And do it daily. Lie about everything like claiming Harris County does not prioritize safety. As reported:

Mealer accused current county leaders of failing to prioritize public safety in the county’s short fiscal year $1.3 billion budget — despite nearly 70% being focused on public safety.

Mealer will lie about violent crime which has been coming down. She will lie about the budget. She will lie about “Backing the Blue” all while she supports the insurrectionist of Jan 6, Donald Trump, and Greg Abbott flooding the streets with military style weapons that law enforcement must face every day.

Like every MAGAt republican running for office, she is just a Texas sized liar.
