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.




I would have voted in the same exact way as you did. But I can think of just as many reasons to not have limitations on terms as having limits. A couple of outstanding reasons for term limits are nancy, barbara, chuck, berne........

All I had to vote on were 2 propositions to bond billions into schools. I never vote yes on money that takes 35 years to pay back, to go into a toilet of an education system. California has consistently had one of the worst education systems in America while at the same time being one of the most expensive. BUT every election year like clockwork, bonds to make the broken system even more expensive are regularly past by the voters.

And guess what. California was one of the first if not the first state to grant free college to their residents. Just like Bernie, Biden and the rest of the Democratic Party wants to do to the rest of the US. And what did they achieve? Bankruptcy.

Well now that Warren has dropped out of the race, both Sanders and Biden are trying to get her endorsement and her supporters.
Warren is a wary competitor and will most likely get something for selling out to either competitor. I'm going to suggest a cabinet position if her side wins.

I haven't seen how all the Tx Mar 3 propositions did, but the one regarding the Alamo passed with 97% approval.

Today, in History, Mar 6 1836, The Alamo fell.





I may not can remember much, but I'll always Remember The Alamo.

Well, six states are up for grabs tomorrow and the propaganda merchants don't seem to care. I think the fix is in and the excitement has gone on vacation.

Why watch a Charlie Can movie if you already know the butler did it?

I will watch the debate on Sunday. It will not be between Joe and Bernie, but rather Melpomene and Thalia.

I am going to enjoy voting in the primary tomorrow. I can actually get a vote in for my favorite communist. What fun.

My favorite communist is Vladimir Lenin.

Why is he my favorite?
Because he has that one special quality that I look for in every communist: He is dead.

Last night I saw a rally in Detroit City.
They dreamed about free healthcare and free homes.
They dreamed that my mother aborted my sister and brother.
And if you dream about being a girl, you'll be right at home.

Joe Biden, go home,
Bernie, please go home.
Oh, how I want the Dems to go home.

The Dems are tearing themselves apart from the inside out. There were several scuffles between the Bernieites and the Bidenistas at the Ol' Joe show in motor city last night.

Someone rolled out a Nazi flag at the Bernie bash here last week.

They are nothing if they are not entertaining. What will these zany zealots do next?
