The Old Parties Fear You

Nothing has become clearer in recent political cycles than the idea that the Old Parties are afraid of you. They are afraid that you might not vote for their candidates and, by extension, for their version of whatever America means to them. So, in order to assuage their fears, they have resorted to questionable tactics specifically (and clandestinely) designed to reduce the possibility that you might vote for someone who is not one of their candidates; someone like me.

"Costello" Targets Businesses That 'Jeopardizing Public Safety'

Is anyone else smelling what this Shyster has been shoveling? It's my personal opinion that we should send this wanna-be cowboy back to shoveling in the pasture because he is the biggest threat to 'jeopardizing public safety'.

Taking Vengeance Too Far?

It seems to me that there are now even fewer lows to which Costello will stoop in his quest to avenge himself upon those whom he believes have wronged him.

"Costello" Is At It Again

Ken Paxton, the frustrated man-boy and “Costello” half of the Texas duo, has filed yet another lawsuit against an honorable Texas entity.

The New American Nihilism

If this is what the American electorate so blindly craves, it's no wonder His Orangeness continues to have so much influence.

Texas Abortion Law ONLY Applies to Women and Physicians?

So, a lawyer in Houston was sentenced to 180 days in jail as part of a plea deal for slipping his wife of 11 years abortion medication in her drinks after she announced she was pregnant with their third child. Texas law (Health & Safety Code 170A) states that "a person may not knowingly perform, induce, or attempt an abortion." According to this same section, "A person who violates [Section] is subject to a civil penalty of not less than $100,000 for each violation."

According to her statement, his excuse was that the pregnancy "would ruin his plans and make him look like a jerk." Um, and this doesn't? 

So my question is, does this law ONLY apply to women and physicians? Are men somehow exempt? 

Denton Group Seeks Dismissal of Costello's, um, Paxton's Lawsuit

Good on Decriminalize Denton for opposing such a frivolous lawsuit.

Just how stupid does Ken Paxton think we are? Apparently, some of us didn't outgrow the whole "accusations without substance" thing in middle school.

12 State AGs Tell DEA To Reschedule Marijuana for Public Safety

Why was this classified so harshly to begin with? I've forgotten.

DEA Possibly Easing Marijuana Restrictions

This would/will be a very BIG deal, and LONG past due.

Abbott and Costello, er, Paxton Promise Retribution

Our so-called leaders have become so seriously vindictive that they are acting more like spoiled children whining about not getting a second helping of dessert than statesmen.

We are Texans. We deserve better than this.

Tiny Homes for the Unsheltered

This is an idea that I believe is worth pursuing here in Denton County.

Gov. Abbott's Vindictive Nature

Seriously, what is the value of an endorsement? Especially one of this vindictive nature?

I can understand that those in certain offices want not only to stay in those offices, but want like-minded supporters, but is this really what we want for Texas? A monocultural group whose primary ideology has consistently been shown to be rooted in early 19th Century philosophy?

We can do better than this.

Ken Paxton Abdicates His Responsibility

"In other words: if Texans lose their children, their fertility, or even their lives because medical professionals are under constant threat of prosecution from the state, it's simply not Texas' problem."

How draconian of them.

Texas House Wants to Make More Criminals

For the record, I would have definitely voted against this bill.

While I do agree that "immigration reform" is a primary issue (and will likely be a hot campaign issue next year), I disagree that this even comes close to an acceptable method.

Texas A.G. Ken Paxton Is Throwing a Tantrum

... In the heirarchy of intangible aspects, free will rates higher.
