Alex Mealer, former Republican candidate for Harris County Judge, announced her intent to run for Congress, in the newly redrawn (shoutout the state legislature and Gov. Abbott) 9th District of Texas. Mealer is a West Point graduate, combat veteran, and Harvard educated lawyer. She’ll make for a formidable electoral opponent, but given the newly redrawn Congressional maps, will certainly field primary opponents.
This is sadly not satire, but the Harris County Commissioners Court–which oversees our county budget, and is currently running a budget deficit–decided it’d be an appropriate use of our taxpayer dollars to spend ~$470k to host the 2025 Gay Softball World Series.
Speaking of County Commissioners, Democrat Rodney Ellis attended a fundraiser in Houston for the communist candidate, and presumptive future mayor of NYC, Zohran Mandami. Mandami has promised to be a transformative, strong leader for America’s largest city–not literally of course, the man went viral for failing to bench press a paltry 135 lbs. the other day. Context for our non-meat-head readers: if a relatively young grown man can’t even bench his own body weight, he’s unfit to carry the weight of significant public office.
Lastly, Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett recently tapped into yet a higher tier of her fake accent schtick. Reminder: she’s from Saint Louis and well educated (education is clearly not indicative of intelligence in her instance).
