“Anti Government” group enters League City elections

January 9, 2024

UPDATE: Candidate Chris Dodson has also refused to attend.

They’re not doing very well.

The Southern Poverty Law Center has added the True Texas Project to their list of extremist organizations categorized as a general anti-government organization. The local group has attempted to enter the League City elections by holding a forum for the candidates. Unfortunately only one, the book burner an Nick Long’s boy, Courtney Chadwell, has accepted the invitation. Here is the line up:

I don’t think Ange or Dodson knows who the TTP is or who Joshua is. Joshua is leading the book banning charge in League City roaming the kids section of the library searching for books that say pee-pee or wee-wee. His group has had speakers advocating for Texas to secede from the United States (a really stupid and illegal idea). His group was banned from using the facilities by Buzz Aldrin’s Presbyterian church in Webster for its extreme views which the church did not condone. From the Chronicle:

The group’s lineup of featured speakers indicates its alignment with radical white supremacist and anti-LGBTQ policies. Kelly Neidert, founder and leader of the anti-LGBTQ organization Protect Texas Kids, said she’s slated to be a featured speaker at TTP’s upcoming events

They also have interfaced with Chris Russo, leader of a local anti-immigrant PAC, outed by The Texas Tribune as meeting with a known white supremacist, Nick Fuentes. They supported Bryan Slaton an anti LGBTQ State Representative who was removed from the Texas House for providing alcohol to a minor and they having sex with her.

I’ll make sure Ange and Dodson knows who they are meeting with. Courtney knows who they are. We should know who he is.


TX Republican candidate left with egg on her face

January 3, 2024

There is no bottom.

Mayra Flores is a Mexican MAGAt. She won a special election in south Texas and served for about 6 months. On New Years Eve she made a series of mistakes leaving her with egg on her face.

On NYE Mayra tweeted a picture celebrating life on the ranch. It went down hill from there. Here it is:

From Lone Star Left:

In fact, this yummy meal wasn’t from Flores’s family ranch; it wasn’t even from America. As Twitter user Ben Anderson discovered, the picture Mayra Flores used on New Year’s Eve, claiming it was a family meal on her family ranch, was a STOLEN picture from the Guyanese Facebook Page,

Once she was caught, she deleted her Twitter account, then created a new one, then began banning users from her account once they found her and made fun of her. Besides that, Mexican Americans don’t eat stew on NYE. We eat Carne Guisada. It’s a Mexican version of stew. It’s delicious, nutritious, filling. It’s bad enough that a small percentage of Mexican Americans are MAGAts but this culinary fuck up is bad.

Mayra is a Mexican MAGAt. She like Trump is a fuckin liar, a cheat, a disgrace to all Mexican Americans and to the human race. She lies to her God, her Country, and with her Family.

What a fucking disgrace.


The year in review. 2023

January 1, 2024

What a year. The only way for 2024 to be a good year is if the real conservatives of the Republican Party takes back their party. Here is what happened in 2023:

  • OMG. CCISD Trustee Scott Bowen was found to have a relationship with known white supremacists.
  • Trustee Scott Bowen was cleared on a grievance filed because he testified agains public education at a hearing in Austin.
  • Scott Bowen’s buddy, Pete Lauzon, funded by Defend Texas Liberty, loses his election for CCISD Trustee.
  • Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was allowed to continue his reign of corruption in Texas.
  • Local State Representatives vote against impeaching Ken Paxton even after overwhelming evidence. (Paul, Wilson, Middleton)
  • Republican Bryan Slater was removed from office after giving his underaged staffer alcohol and having sex with her all night long.
  • Republican Congressman George Santos was removed from office.
  • Tony Buzbee lost. Again.
  • Harris County Board of Education filled a vacant slot with Dick. (Eric Dick)
  • Harris County Board of Education Trustee Dick was fined another $10,000 by the Texas Ethics Commission
  • A former Chair of the Harris County Republican Party and a Republican Judge and pastor settled a sex abuse lawsuit concerning young men.
  • League City continues The Purge after firing their attorney, the librarian, and continuing their selective book ban,
  • OMG The Chair of the PAC funded by a couple of billionaires, Defend Texas Liberty, was caught meeting with a known white supremacist. This is the PAC that tried to tip the CCISD elections.
  • Mattress MAGAt Mac is behind the multiple lawsuits against Democratic Judges that won in 2022.
  • The lawsuits against multiple Democratic Judges have been dropped, including the one against Judge Hidalgo.
  • Texas Republicans continue to send useless thoughts and prayers after mass shootings.
  • Local State Representative Dennis Paul continues to ignore gun violence even after one of his own is killed due to senseless gun violence,
  • City Councilman Michael Kubosh was caught using his donor’s money for personal use. He was running for City Controller. (was)

What a year. Here’s hoping that the true conservatives of America will keep that rotten son of a bitch out of the White House and start to rebuild their party.


Unpaid fines issued by the Texas Ethics Commission over the last 10 years

December 29, 2023

Dang. It is hard to get away from this guy.

Through an open records request the Texas Ethics Commission provided an excellent list of unpaid TEC fines over the past 10 years. The complete list can be viewed here. Leading the field of those who have refused to pay is Harris County Department of Education Trustee Eric Dick.

Dick was fined $30,000 and $10,000 for two different violations. The $30,000 fine leads the field of 47 that are unpaid. (Note Sharon Faye Keller is the Presiding Judge of the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. She was fined a whopping $100,000 but settled with the TEC for $25,000 and paid it. More later) Dick’s $30,000 came from a Final Order issued by the TEC. The $10,000 came from an agreement by the TEC and Dick. I expect the $10,000 to be paid. The $30,000 fine has been referred to the Texas Attorney General for collection.

The TEC provided a great 13 page list of those who have been fined over the last 10 years. Their summary of the data is as follows:

It’s an impressive list with an 88% rate of collections. Of the 367 sanctions by the TEC 43 were referred to the Texas Attorney General for collections. More on that later. Only 4 of the 43 have been collected.

There needs to be a deeper look into the 43 fines referred to the Texas AG.


Who is running in the 2024 Democratic Primary

December 27, 2023

Here are the candidates running in the 2024 Democratic Primary in our area. Some do not have a website running yet. This list does not include judicial races. Some notes:

I’m not sure why anyone would challenge our incumbents except for the District Attorney race. Menefee has performed very well for the county. So has Ed Gonzales. Tax Assessor is an open seat with Ann Bennett declining to run again. Should be an interesting race. The winner will go against a well known former Republican Commissioner. We have a primary for railroad commissioner. Every election we field a very well qualified candidate but cant seem to break through. In the Senate race we have 10 candidates. There seems to be two top candidates that will end in a runoff between Allred and Gutierrez.

Mexican MAGAt to challenge State Representative “Little Baby” Briscoe Cain

December 8, 2023

It’s like laughing and throwing up at the same time.

“Little Baby” Briscoe Cain, pictured here at the annual Take your Child to Work Day, has a challenger in the Republican Party. Bianca Gracia, founder of Latinos for Trump, claims Briscoe is a pro-Democrat which is laughable. Cain is so far right he is wrong. Maybe the PAC Defend Texas Liberty known for meeting with a white supremacist is funding her campaign. Cain was one of the many Republican House members to vote to impeach Ken Paxton. Even right wing wackos have their limits. The PAC has vowed to primary these members.

Gracia is best known for meeting with Enrique Tarrio, leader of the Proud Boys, and founder of the Oath Keepers Elmer Stewart Rhodes in a garage a day prior to the Jan 6 insurrection. Tarrio and Rhodes were convicted of seditious conspiracy against the United States and are serving 20 year prison sentences. In 2020 Gracia ran for the Texas Senate and won 7% of the vote in the primary. If fundraising is an indication of future success she should quit while she is behind.


Texas GOP votes to continue relationship with Nazi sympathizers

December 5, 2023

It’s 2023. It wasn’t a hard vote.

You just can’t make this stuff up. The Texas State Republican Executive Committee (SREC) members declined to ban associations with the PAC Defend Texas Liberty by a close vote of 32-29. I wonder how CCISD Trustee Scott Bowen voted.

The Texas Tribune sums up the vote:

Two months after a prominent conservative activist and fundraiser was caught hosting white supremacist Nick Fuentes, leaders of the Republican Party of Texas have voted against barring the party from associating with known Nazi sympathizers and Holocaust deniers.

This shouldn’t have been a hard vote. The leader of Defend Texas Liberty was caught meeting with known nazi sympathizer Nick Fuentes and exposed their associations with other white supremacist organizations and individuals. But the executive committee pulled out every excuse they could think of, much like they did when defending George Santos, Donald Trump, Ken Paxton and others. The Speaker of the House, Dale Phelan tweeted:

Despicable. @TexasGOP/SREC can’t even bring themselves to denounce neo-Nazis and Holocaust deniers or cut ties with their top donor who brought them to the dance. There is a moral, anti-Semitic rot festering

As noted earlier, CCISD Trustee Scott Bowen also has some uncomfortable ties to the individuals The Texas Tribune reported on. I’ll find out how he voted.


Local Elected Officials vote in support of vouchers for rich kids

November 20, 2023

They are voting against the wishes of the community.

State Representatives Dennis Paul of Clear Lake, Terry Wilson of Galveston, and Little Baby Briscoe Cain of Deer Park joined a handful of State Representatives and voted against an amendment to strip vouchers out of an education bill. Paul and Wilson also voted to not impeach Texas Attorney General Paxton. At least Baby Briscoe had enough common sense to be sensible. Only 23 House Representative voted to give Paxton a pass.

The amendment to remove vouchers from the bill was supported by 63 Democrats and 21 Republicans. Vouchers would give parents $10,000 of your tax dollars to send rich kids to a private school. It’s not a popular idea especially in the rural areas where schools are significantly underfunded. In Clear Lake the district is against vouchers. The Clear Lake Chamber of Commerce is against vouchers as is the Bay Area Houston Economic Partnership.

For me I can’t see how this is even constitutional. If someone is paying $2000 in school taxes, why should we give them $8000 more from our taxes just so their kids can attend a private school? Why should they get more than they put in? If vouchers were going to pass they should get no more than they put in. You put in $2000? You get $2000 and nothing more.

Private schools are not cost efficient and most parents can not afford the tuition or the transportation even with the voucher. Vouchers have nothing to do with school “choice”. It is nothing more than give away to rich kids.


Houston’s KLOL rock star to challenge Brian Babin in Texas CD 36

November 15, 2023

She has a plan. She doesn’t want your money. She wants you to just vote.

Dayna Steele ran for congress back in 2018 in Congressional District 36. CD 36 is a blood red district. Literally. After 19 children were slaughtered in Uvalde Congressman Babin did what every other republican did. Nothing. He is one of the absolute worse congressman to ever hold the office even surpassing Steve Stockman who was convicted of 23 felony counts of money laundering and served 3 of 10 years in jail. On queue Trump pardoned him. Babin is worse. He does nothing. He has accomplished nothing. He, like trump, spews lies. And he asked for a pardon from Trump.

For those who were around in the 80’s you will remember Dayna from KLOL 101 the rock station of Houston. She rocked. I remember driving to work listening to Tejano Music on 101 FM. I called the station and was told KLOL was now a Tejano station. Ay Dios Mio!

Dayna has a plan. Watch her video below on Facebook. She explains it. Dayna is fun, exciting, very interesting and accomplished! He husband is a former NASA pilot. She ran back in 2018. As I said, it is a deep, deep, red district so gerrymandered that Babin doesn’t have to work to get elected. But, as I said, she has a plan. She is doing it her way this time.

More to come. It’s time to join her team, the Steele Workers.

Defend Texas Liberty recruiting more donors

November 1, 2023

The president of Defend Texas Liberty met with Nick Fuentes a known white supremacist. Go ahead. Google Nick Fuentes.

Fuentes often praises Adolf Hitler and has publicly fantasized about marrying a 16-year-old. Last week, he visited the office of a Texas operative who runs a deep-pocketed political group.

That deep-pocketed political group was Defend Texas Liberty the same guys who meddled in our CCISD elections. Over the last year Defend Texas Liberty has raised over $4.6 Million. $2.8 Million came from Texas billionaire Timothy Dunn and/or Hexagon Partners (Dunn is the registered agent) $1.5 Million came from another billionaire Timothy Dunn. New comers to the PAC include Alex Fairly the registered agent for DealOn LLC out of Amarillo. He donated over $222,000. New comer Carol Adams of Princeton Texas donated $50,000. Wind Grimes and her husband has donated over $500,000 since 2022. In 2023 she donated $25,000.

Here are the top donors that made up 99.4% of the total donations.
