Prediction: Texas citizens are NOT paying enough attention to our state and almost every incumbent will win re-election I am BEGGING my fellow Texans to please, for the love of God, pay attention to more than federal politics Our state is crumbling, in case you haven’t noticed

The Gubernatorial choices for Texans are both crap Texans are screaming we must “vote Red to stop the Muslim invasion!” They evidently don’t realize that historically, Abbott’s largest individual donor is S. Javaid Anwar, a billionaire Muslim, who has received high-level political appointments Abbott first appointed Anwar to The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board in April 2015 The board provides critical leadership, budget coordination, and policy alignment for the ENTIRE TEXAS PUBLIC UNIVERSITY AND COLLEGE SYSTEM Abbott has repeatedly reappointed Anwar to retain his seat, most recently extending his term through August 31, 2027 And Gina Hinojosa? Just NO ‼️❗️‼️ Good grief Fellow Texans, I’m already begging you to educate yourselves and participate in the next primaries, and now you’ve got years to do so Otherwise, we’re never getting off of this hamster wheel I ❤️ Texas I don’t ❤️ our political leadership, who sold us all out in our 89th and special sessions Were you paying attention? We had an almost $30 BILLION surplus Do you know where that surplus came from? Do you know where it went? Did you feel our last legislative session benefitted you or your family? I’m truly curious Please give me your best pitch for your candidate, as I’m listening and never afraid to admit when I may be wrong
Has there ever been a less talented race than for Texas Governor between Abbot and Hinojosa? Everyone I talk to doesn't like either one.

And this is why I will vote Policy > Party > Personality Much of my ballot will be blank, as is MY choice I have seen votes, legislation passed to benefit donors, and the average American is almost always receiving the short end of the stick, but with an added bonus of a huge tax bill I refuse to co-sign corruption, and most on my ballot have proven themselves corrupt My vote has to be earned Sure wish my fellow Texans had swarmed the primaries, but alas, they didn’t and we have some awful “choices”
I’m a philosophical anarchist. I believe in a society built on voluntary cooperation, not government coercion. But I also recognize that we won’t get there overnight. I can oppose the legitimacy of the state while still voting for people and policies that reduce its size, scope, and power.

The only thing I want from government at this point? An itemized statement of how every single cent stolen by taxation has been spent I have a sneaky suspicion none of it helped me, or my family… In the least

Not answering is an answer IMO However, I am a big fan of “self-reflection” and I realize I am sometimes guilty of this myself I’m going to work on that ✅ Reminder: We all have the capacity to learn from our mistakes Looking back with gratitude - after changing a behavior we don’t like about ourselves - is a pretty good thing 👍
I just deleted over 10 years of text messages. Sad how many of them were messages I sent that nobody responded to. Really hits home. Family, friends. I’m done trying. If they wanted to then they would.

The more I see and read, the less I feel like I know anything at all Is almost everything we encounter merely curated lies and half-truths designed to control us?

Some commercials really do have staying power “748-1414, 748-1414, call the ___________, get results like you’ve never seen before…” Do any of my Dallas area folks remember this number and what it was for? I’ve never forgotten that commercial and neither has my husband 🤣

Pessimistic Pollyanna Post of the Day: Kimberly Guilfoyle has resigned as ambassador and is suddenly everywhere again Pessimistic side: The face that used to be naturally beautiful is now a case study in what too much filler and Botox can do Pollyanna side: At least the before-and-after photos are a free, very public cautionary tale for anyone still thinking more is always better Ladies 📣📢📣 Let’s all do our best to normalize aging naturally again, shall we?

People who won’t shut up about term limits and “participation trophies” are about to vote for members of Congress running for their 24th term 😳 If 23 terms wasn’t enough, a 24th is just a participation trophy with a voting record And those voting records are FAR from stellar Both of these candidates voted for the Patriot Act and its expansions, expanding the surveillance state and breaking their oath to protect the constitutional rights of their constituents Is this really the best we can do?

My family did not receive a stimulus check, since it was “means-tested” However, when those checks were received by millions, I did still have my small business I sold pre-owned, authentic luxury handbags Think ⬇️ Chanel Louis Vuitton YSL Goyard Prada Gucci I sold out ALL inventory in record time Many spent their entire check, meant to help them “get by during hard times” on a single handbag Funny part? I was a terrible business owner, as many customers realized they could take advantage of my kindness, and I LOST money because I’d listen to their sob stories and drop my prices 😏
He is still wrong and showing his mental midgetry as well. First, not everyone got a stemy check. Some of us had to pay for that instead. And yes, it was hard watching people waste their handouts on jet skis and other nonsense as my expense. But I did get a cheap jet ski from one such desperate person later. Second, we have lived under socialism for as long as I can remember. You can’t honestly claim we have capitalism when we don’t. The Covid stemmies were just a test at UBI, which seems be advocated by the “Republican” WH and their tech bro friends. We don’t live in serious times.

Photo taken 1 month before I turned 18 Dad’s 2nd wife trashed all of my photos during one of her tirades Irreplaceable, but she couldn’t throw away the memories made! This one made it, since it was framed at my Mamma’s house Senior Year Spring 1990 That explains the hair 😉
Post a photo of yourself at 18. Let’s see them! Circa 1997 Cancun, Mexico

Remember when the national news cycle ground to a halt because a politician had to explain his “wide stance”, toe-tapping in an airport bathroom stall? Ah, 2007 That took over the news cycle for a MONTH Today, a story that wild would barely survive a single afternoon feed before getting buried by the next three unprecedented, history-making events Do you remember this man, his denial, his confession, and his stream of ever-changing excuses? I can’t ever forget, even if I try

Does everyone have that one post, that upon reflection, you’re a bit mortified you posted? Even worse, post on a Saturday, then proceed to have a fun Saturday night with real people, in your real life and completely forget about it… Until you wake up to nothing but hate on a Sunday Fun times 😬 Whatever Happy Sunday to all of the perfect people out there without fault I’m amazed our country has any problems whatsoever So. Many. Experts! The government should hire so many of you absolute geniuses No more worries Americans! Rest assured, they are on it!

Ahhh, Walmart The company who employs the most full-time workers - who also qualify for taxpayer-funded benefits like SNAP The largest beneficiary of SNAP benefits? You guessed it! Walmart Circle jerk from hell
A Walmart whistleblower walks the aisle for ten minutes and finds 20 products where the listed price per ounce doesn’t equal the shelf total. Coffee, pods, seasonings—the math is off every time, and every time the customer pays more. Not one tag undercharges. That’s not a pricing error. That’s the business model.
