Just saw a political commercial for Jon Husted with Jon Gruden screaming from a podium. For some reason it reminded me of an SNL skit with Chris Farley, as Matt Foley, in his “Van Down by the River” skit.

This is easy….raise their corp tax rate and remove the cap on Social Security wages.

I fear that any midterm “mandate” angry voters give them will be squandered on dinner party invites instead of building the accountability regime people are desperate for and are putting their bodies and lives on the line to get.

Musk seems very upset that Russian data centers are being taken out. Could it be that they were part of his election rigging in 2024?

GOP commercials in Texas state that Talarico and Hinojosa are just too radical for Texas. Looking at Abbott and Paxton, I guess you can be too radical but never too corrupt for Texas.

My take from the Smith hearings: To be a GOP senator today, you have to be a lying piece-of-shit, who puts loyalty to party & our lying piece-of-shit president, above their oaths to the Constitution & their obligations to tell the truth & do what rights to the American people! Repost if U agree

So darn appropriate now!

A satiric poem: Brainworm crawling up the nose What it eats no one knows Missing brain explains his woes Ear to ear the wind now flows Measles used to be quite rare Now we have to be aware Old diseases are everywhere Public health in disrepair Lessons from our past Lost very fast

Absolutely hilarious although Texans won’t pick up on it. The Abbott campaign is running 2 commercials, the first Abbott stating that the state doesn’t control prop. taxes, local governments control it. The second attacks Hinojosa for voting to raise property taxes as a state rep. Huh?

I find it unusual and telling that the very people crying “communism” in relation to the Democratic Party are the same ones who dressed in their finest and attended a State dinner honoring the leader of the world’s largest communist party!

In Texas, Greg Abbott has become so desperate that he is blaming the local schools and municipalities for higher property taxes. No matter that everything costs more, cities are growing and the state is underfunding public schools.
