Ted Cruz does not care about you. It’s not his thing.

Texas senator Ted Cruz does not care that you lost your job or your business due to the Covid virus. He does not care that you are facing eviction. He does not care that your unemployment benefits are expiring at Christmas. He does not care that you have lost loved ones to the pandemic. He does not care that you are often treated badly by police officers for no valid reason. He does not care if babies and toddlers are ripped from the arms of their mothers, and placed in cages. He does not care if our military is used against civilians on American streets.

Ted Cruz does not care that Joe Biden won the presidential election by more than 7 million votes and the electoral count certified by all of the 50 states. Ted doesn’t care about the 80 million Americans who made that happen.

Ted Cruz does not care about black people, Latin people, gay people, atheists, Muslims, or anyone else who isn’t an evangelical white person. He doesn’t care if you can’t get medical care. He doesn’t care about people who are going hungry. He does not care.

There are many things Ted Cruz does not care about. There is only one thing Ted Cruz cares about. He has the same wet dream every night of his life – that he is President Ted Cruz. That’s the only guiding “principle” Ted Cruz has, his obsession with getting to the White House. It has been his lifelong ambition, and he is pursuing his dream without regard for truth or decency. He does not care that Donald Trump branded him “lying Ted Cruz” and accused his father of killing JFK, then called his wife an ugly skank. Ted Cruz does not care.

So he is a willing participant in Donald Trump’s insane attempts to overthrow democracy, and make the losing candidate the winner. If Trump serves another term, he can’t run in 2024 due to term limits. That means Ted can run. So he is supporting the effort to overthrow our government because he wants the votes of the racists, fascists, and idiots who blindly follow Trump. This is what makes Ted Cruz grovel in the mud as he is doing right now.

It is a poor strategy. By taking this route, Cruz is making damn sure that he will NEVER be elected president of this country, and making it highly likely that voters will boot him out of the senate in 4 years.

No grace, no dignity, no humility, no magnanimity, no class, no morals, no empathy, no soul. He has no friends, not even a dog. His wife can’t bear his touch, his daughter can’t avoid it.
Devoid of humor he doesn’t make jokes, he doesn’t laugh. Not ever. An occasional gash in his orange-painted face signifies nothing more than his satisfaction in transacting another con.
He’s a loathsome coagulation of every human failing with no compensating virtues: A craven coward. A sociopath. A serial rapist. A racist. A quisling. An opportunistic grifter. An inveterate cheat. A deceitful toad. A chronic liar. A shameless braggart. An ignoramus who lacks curiosity. He doesn’t read, he doesn’t love, he doesn’t care.
Trump is a ridiculous, combed-over cartoon villain, a deranged clown with a face sprayed the color of hang-over piss and toilet paper stuck to his shoe. Rake the forests, nuke the hurricanes, inject the bleach, waterbomb Notre Dame cathedral, trade Greenland for Puerto Rico. Trump’s pompous idiocies are exceeded only by his appalling ignorance. This clueless moron brags that he was able to keep the crayon inside the lines on his dementia test.
The Grand Fubar of dysfunction, the maestro of petty vindictiveness, of malice and resentful belligerence is still feverishly trying to figure out how to overthrow our government.
Trump, if he’d had the imagination, would’ve considered handing out small-pox infected blankets in Democrat-leaning districts but it’s too late now. A majority of Americans have said enough is enough. After 4 years of what-the-fk-has-he-done-now, 46,123 tweets and 20,000 documented lies while in office, he’s been reduced to pathetic whimperings from his puckered-sphincter pout, playing his invisible accordion to an audience of brainless retards, fellow hucksters and his retinue of fawning toadies, asskissers, and hangers-on whose loyalty is demanded but never reciprocated and who have neither the self-respect nor the courage to call out the capture of the US by an amoral, moronic lunatic.
We cannot know what tipped the scales against Trump.
No lie has been too outrageous, bragging about sexual assault was just locker-room talk, five bankruptcies are apparently indicative of an astute businessman, stealing from a children’s cancer charity is fake news. Being laughed at by foreign leaders – throwing raw meat to Boogaloos, Proud Boys, Klansmen and toy soldiers was addressing his base. Perhaps it was inciting violence from uniformed goon squads infiltrated into lawful protests that crossed the line. Perhaps it was the denigration of war dead and veterans as losers and suckers by a draft-dodging, yellow, mangy dog that did it. More likely it was 11 million Covid-infected Americans, a quarter of a million who died while the orange blobulator ignored it, denied it, played it down, finger-pointed and then looked for ways to exploit it for his own advantage.
There is no excusing Trump, there is no sympathy that should be wasted on this pathetic parasite. History should not record him as some sort of tragic King Lear but as an effluvium, a discharge from the bowels of a diseased system; that has now been shitted out.
He had always exhibited the narcissistic and antisocial personality disorders of a lack of empathy, grandiosity, lying and deceit, indifference to conventional laws or rules or morality that characterize a tyrant. But he possessed none of the cunning, artifice, commitment to a cause beyond himself, the political skills of a Stalin or the oratory of a Mussolini. He had no ambition beyond the grift and the trappings – palaces awash with potentate bling, a yearning for military parades, a pneumatic wife and his narcissistic cult of personality. He has no talent beyond the con, he’s a schmuck with the dumb luck to be born into wealth that metastasized his low grade celebrity into high grade larceny.
Fittingly, he’s spending his last days shaping his own humiliation. If Trump was to be found drooling in a pool of his own piss ala Stalin or dragged Sadam-like from his bolt-hole it would be the most metaphorically noteworthy achievement of his time in office.
Gone too will be his dreadful spawn. Ivanka’s in-it-up-to-her-nose-job reputation may limit her future career prospects to hand-job supervisor at a New York sperm bank while “Uday and Qusay” could end up in prison trading sexual favors for their cigarettes. Jared Kushner may join them.
Melania might take the path of Jerry Falwall Jr.’s wife, and hook up with the Pool Boy, no doubt chuckling at the thought that Trump has only Rudi Guiliani left to go through the pre-nup looking for loopholes.
The end of America’s nightmare is near. However it plays out over the next two months Trump is finished.
The irrelevant man. A loser. Good riddance.

I kind of hope Donald Trump holds out to the bitter end. I hope on January 20th, breaking news comes on with Capitol Police involved in a standoff at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in which a deranged Trump has barricaded himself in the Oval Office with Melania’s 8mm Beretta (he doesn’t own a gun, she does).
Maybe he could be holding some hostages, I suggest Mitch McConnell. Perhaps they’ll bring in a negotiator – my recommendation for that job would be Robert DeNiro.
Every day that this goes on, he is losing more and more of his supporters, who are having a hard time identifying with the new “crybaby Trump” they are seeing for the first time. It is killing those two Republican senate candidates in Georgia, who are now looking like they will lose on January 5th.
And despite what they are saying about the transition, Biden doesn’t really need the daily briefings – Trump has gotten by without them for four years. The idiots he has put in place couldn’t give the Biden team any kind of briefing that would make sense anyway. They’re going to be starting from scratch regardless.
So hang in there Donny Boy. Keep up the temper tantrums with your staff and family. Keep on tweeting. Think of the books that will be written about your desperation and selfishness during your final days before exile and prison. Shakespeare couldn’t write a better comedic tragedy.

As Thanksgiving Day approaches, I think to myself, “What is there for America to be most thankful for during this awful year?” The unlikely answer is that we should all be thankful for the news media. Not the commentators or talk show hosts, the ones who actually report what happened. Without mainstream media (MSM) reporting, we would believe a pack of lies instead of knowing the truth.
We would believe that a big beautiful wall has been built, and that it was paid for by Mexico. We would believe that President Obama was a Muslim terrorist leader who was born in Kenya. We would believe that Trump actually has a health care plan. We would believe that Trump has done more for black people than any president since Lincoln. We would believe that there were ‘very fine people’ on both sides at Charlottesville. We would believe than windmills cause cancer.
When it comes to Covid 19, without the faithful reporting of the MSM, we would believe that the Corona virus is a hoax; that it is magically disappearing; that people aren’t actually dying; that we are turning the corner; and that even if you do get infected, just take some hydroxychloroquine. We would believe that the virus is no worse than a case of sniffles. Without the MSM we would also believe that wearing a mask does nothing to stop the spread, but that mask wearing is instead some kind of mind control exercise designed to take away our freedom.
Without mainstream media, we would believe that the trade imbalance has improved under Trump. We would believe that Joe Biden is a doddering senile socialist pedophile. We would believe that the swamp has been drained and the corruption in Washington D.C. has been reduced. We would believe that Trump won the popular vote in both elections, and that there was widespread voter fraud in both elections. We would believe that Trump won the 2020 presidential election.
In other words, without the facts we would be raving lunatics. There are in truth a large number of people who ignore the facts and listen to commentators and spin doctors, and who believe some or all of the above.
This is just the short list. There are all kinds of crazy things that we would believe if it were not for the journalistic integrity and investigative capabilities of the hated mainstream media. They rely on multiple independent sources. They corroborate the facts before publishing. They do their homework. They subscribe to and operate within a code of ethics that sets a standard worldwide.
So when we think of heroes during these dark times, the maligned and falsely accused reporters who continue to uncover the facts should be at the top of the list. Thank God for them, because without them we could all be made into losers and suckers, and democracy would be replaced by tyranny.

Kemah Mayor Teri Gale stayed out past 2 am on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, and her husband apparently wasn’t happy about it. In fact, according to police reports, he choked her and broke her cell phone. Reports stated that he seemed to be intoxicated and smelled like alcohol. So the allegation is that he had been drinking. No one said what the mayor had been doing coming home at 2 am – was she also drinking? Or perhaps she was at a late-night prayer meeting?
Either way, there is no excuse for domestic violence. Still, the Kemah Police Chief has hailed her as a “hero” for getting her husband arrested. That’s a bit of a stretch, considering she wasn’t sitting home knitting Christmas sweaters – but after all, she does sign his paychecks!
Scott Gale was arrested on charges of domestic violence.

For decades the little town of Clear Lake Shores has been widely known as a speed trap. But recently, they seem to have upped their game beyond speed trap status. There is growing public clamor on social media that the department has (according to one quote) “mutated into a military-style gang of jack-booted thugs who lie in wait for those who dare to pass through their town.”
Fewer than 1,300 people live in Clear Lake Shores. There were 43 DWI arrests there between January and August of this year. During the same time frame, Seabrook Police arrested 50 alleged drunk drivers. There are more than ten times as many people living in Seabrook. So chances of being arrested for DWI in Clear Lake Shores are ten times greater than they are a few hundred yards away in Seabrook! Keep in mind that DWI is one of those crimes in which the police officer can make the call. He has discretion. If he chooses to believe you are intoxicated, he can arrest you.
There are currently 13 paid police officers working in Clear Lake Shores – which is one for every 100 residents. That is three times the average ratio. In fact, there is no other municipality in the entire state of Texas with more police officers per capita, by a large margin. The closest example I could find in Galveston County is a very similar community, Bayou Vista. Like Clear Lake Shores, Bayou Vista is a quaint place on the water with a lot of canal and waterfront homes. There are over 1,500 people living there, There are 4 police officers working there. They have 3 DWI arrests this year.
The officers working in Clear Lake Shores brought in $1.2 million in fines during the first 8 months of 2019. So, on an annual basis, the typical Clear Lake Shores officer will bring in $150,000 or more in fines this year, far more than twice the state average. It is also a 300% increase over last year. This is why people are saying the department is overpolicing.
And it isn’t just DWI arrests. They have made 71 marijuana arrests – mostly for small amounts that wouldn’t even get you a citation in most Texas towns. They have been charging locals on golf carts with DUI, as if someone driving under 10 mph on a side street poses some kind of public danger. They have ticketed drivers who failed to use a turn signal to enter their own driveway! Like I said, it’s way past speed trap status.
According to the 2010 US Census, 4 black persons live in Clear Lake Shores. This amounts to 0.3% of the population. Yet somehow arrests of non-Caucasians are 15-20%, which is about 50 times what it should be. Don’t be caught “Driving While Black” in Clear Lake Shores!
Investigative reporter Wayne Dolcefino has requested dash cam video from the police department, but the mayor has refused to provide access to these public records. Dolcefino has posted photos of Clear Lake Shores police parking across the street from the only bar in town, apparently waiting for patrons to leave. Yes, it’s illegal.
In the meantime, although we hate to do so, we are issuing an advisory to our readers to avoid traveling through what has become a Gestapo checkpoint in our county. There have been numerous cases of shady deals by the city government and police in Clear Lake Shores over a period of many years. It is apparently a roach nest at City Hall, and the roaches hate to see the light shined on them. This is shameful, and we strongly support the citizens who are sick and tired of it.
