don't know about Houston but there isn't much news about beryel here..........................so my dear slothful and indolent D candidates....here is what CC has done to my homeowner's insurance...it went up 15% for '24-'25 and air quality in DFW is red flagged nearly every day , spring thru fall.

homeowners know about insurance rates and mom's know about air quality....meanwhile Colin talks about his mom alot and all the other D's don't say anything.....The Republican party of Tarrant County sends out an newsletter once a week.....I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE THINKING....its not CC.

My D's? i am not even sure if they are running.

"Outta town Abbott' cool and comfortable , meanwhile in the Bayou City residents use Whataburger App to figure out were power is available.

AN: "After the devastation left in the wake of Hurricane Beryl, millions of Texans were left without power. And once again, residents of the Lone Star State were unable to count on Texas' flagship utility company for either prompt service restoration or even reliable communication.

Some Texans frustrated with the Electric Reliability Council of Texas and main power company CenterPoint Energy (formerly Reliant Energy) not providing residents with an outage tracker found a better alternative — the app for Texas-based fast food chain Whataburger. "

"President Joe Biden said Tuesday that the federal government had to delay distribution of emergency relief supplies, including power generators, after Hurricane Beryl hit Texas because the White House could not reach state leaders to get the major disaster declaration request needed to release them." -Houston Chronicle

this'll be good:

"Project 2025, a collection of public policy proposals issued by the conservative think tank Heritage Foundation, includes a document titled "Mandate for Leadership 2025: The Conservative Promise" that calls for breaking up and downsizing NOAA and fully commercializing NWS forecasting operations."

This is Christian Nationalism....not very Christian

'The Houston megachurch of televangelist Joel Osteen was mocked by social media users for not offering enough aid as Hurricane Beryl pummeled the city.

The megachurch leader was criticized by a barrage of X users who have not forgotten his church’s slow response in offering shelter to victims of Hurricane Harvey, which rampaged the area in 2017." The Independant -UK
