I knew Gabbard was Hindu, so I never considered that she and her father were both born in American Samoa. I guess that is why she came out of nowhere, there. But Why Bloomberg?

I have done my duty today and voted, including voting on some Propositions....
What each says:
prop 1. “Texas should not restrict or prohibit prayer in public schools.” Yes

prop 2 “Texas should reject restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms” Yes

prop 3 “Texas should ban the practice of taxpayer-funded lobbying, which allows your tax dollars to be spent on lobbyists who work against the taxpayer.” Yes

prop 4 “Texas should support the construction of a physical barrier and use existing defense-grade surveillance equipment along the entire southern border of Texas.” HELL YES!

prop 5 “Texas parents or legal guardians of public school children under the age of 18 should be the sole decision makers for all their children’s healthcare decisions including, but not limited to psychological assessment and treatment, contraception and sex education.” yes

prop 6 “Texas should ban chemical castration, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and genital mutilation surgery on all minor children for transition purposes, given that Texas children as young as three (3) are being transitioned from their biological sex to the opposite sex.” yes

prop 7 “Texas should protect and preserve all historical monuments, artifacts and buildings such as the Alamo Cenotaph and should oppose any reimagining of the Alamo site.” Yes

prop 8 “Texas election officials should heed the directives of the Office of the Governor to purge illegal voters from the voter rolls and verify that each new registered voter is an U.S. citizen.” yes

prop 9 “Bail in Texas should be based only on a person’s danger to society and risk of flight and not that person’s ability to pay.” yes, but torn on the issue sometimes.

prop 10 “Texas should limit our state legislators’ terms to 12 years.” yes, but wish it were for fewer years.

Not knowing the details of each prop, it all sounds like good choices to me.

And Stupor Tuesday is looking like it is going to be Joe's resurrection.

If you can get past all the subscription requests, here's an explanation of each Tx GOP Prop.

Thanks but, no thanks. I've learned to trust your judgement.

Besides that, I don't get to make any decisions on how Texas goes.

Biden seems to be doing fine,
to mainstream liberals he's anodyne

77-year old appealing to 70-year old boomer.

Youth vote wasn't much there for Bernie! Most likely won't be energized for the general again.

Biden can always use the "They will take away your social security" scare tactic. It's been used by the DNC for 50+ years. Works well though.

He will do worse than Gore though.

It looks to me like its brokered convention time in the Democratic Party. Biden won Texas and Bernie won California. No Democrat will have the votes necessary to win on the first ballot. Then the games start. Will the Democratic Party big wigs take the nomination from both Bernie and Biden and give it to someone else? Or will they send Biden to be slaughtered by Trump? Or will they actually give it to Bernie knowing the country is not that far left?

Its going to be an interesting political season.

Oh, and will Bloomie stop with the constant ads. It is very annoying. How much of your billions are you actually willing to spend, even when you can't get anyone to vote for you after spending 3/4 of a billion on TV ads??

Micro Mike came down the pike
and spent a ton of dough.

But all his green couldn’t buy enough “likes”
and now this one must go.
