Maybe Lou Hodges is in Sadler's stable now. She said she would vote against Sadler's tax increases but then voted for them. She got elected off of a sympahy vote for Mac, but I think that has faded.

Richard Brooks is only semi-literate, and an easy politician for a political boss to lead around by the nose. Don't know anything about this Horton dude, but if Sadler recruited him to tun that is a huge red flag.

One sign to watch for is who shows up at Sadler political events. All such council candidates should be under suspircion.

Constantly selling out to the Democrats does not have a darn thing to do with following Christ, and someone who confuses Romeny with Jesus is just nuts.

I am happy for Mitt ... "He can spend more time with his family" now.

Mitt is a good Christian man. Makes sense why he is unpopular with fakers.

Even though Jake Tapper is NOT a real journalist, just pretends to be one, it is interesting that he is breaking from the Institutional Propagandists at CNN to admit the truth about Hunter's laptop ... Now over 3 years past its public relevance.

ALL doctors who perform this Frankenstein / Mengele stuff on children need to be sued into bankruptcy. We should remember that the doctor who invented and performed the first sex change operations was a Nazi war criminal. Europe has hit the brakes hard on doing this to children, as many European medical authorities have pointed out that most gender confused children naturally grow out of it. Mutiliating their bodies while they are still confused should be criminalized.

Believe it or not, this governor is yet another Democratic Socialist governor that is incapable of understanding the United States Constitution.

That so-called "stormwater utility" was always just a dishonest shell game to hide tax increases. For many decades, the city has been dealing with stormwater out of the regular city budget with tax money. This was hived off as a "utility" to cover up a tax increase some years ago. They kept the official tax rate the same, saying they were just adding a utility fee. As if voters could not see through that bullshit. Now they are playing similar dishonest games to hide another tax increase. After raising our city taxes a whopping ten percent last year, they are now back to their crooked shell game in an election year. Shame on you, Mayor Sadler.

Breitbart says it is more about Gibson's lies than about the sex irself.

Now that this is out in public, I can see it presenting a campaign problem. She has said she enjoys lots of sex and with various different men. She is an attractive woman, so how many men are going to be seeking to spend time with her after she asks for their vote, and if she rejects them will it cost her their vote?

One of the few things that Little Bobbie has correct is that Timmy needs to go.

There are lots of shady things in the city's "stormwater utility", beginning with its revenues being used for other things in the budget than were set out in the resolution that created the "stormwater utility". This Frankenstein monster needs a major challenge, either administratively or in the courts.

One scam attached to it a couple of years ago was billing owners of multi-family properties at the commercial rate for their outbuildings and driveways, but not the house or apartment building. These properties already pay more than if the same building was single family because of dividing the billings and then imposing minimums. This unfair and unequal situtation is made even worse by then piling on with falsely calling the outbuidlings and driveway "commercial" which give them a higher rate and imposes yet another minimum. When the main building is not commercial, it is arbitrary and capricious to call the driveway and outbuildings "commerical". The city is blatantly ripping off property owners who fall into this category and they need to be held to account for this outright fraud.

This outrage even applies to a building that is zoned residential and occupied by a single family but on the tax records shows as "multi-family". It is not applied to residential property that is zoned commercial, or to residential property where people conduct business out of the homes. The whole system is arbitrary and capricious and ripe for a major challenge to bring it down.

There are also other ways in which the system as set up in Washington fails to comply with the state stature in ways that massively overcharge some and undercharge others. The system needs a challenge as it is arbitrary and capricious in many ways.

What is also needed is a very thorough accounting of what has been done with the money collected under it.

Timmy crossed the line because he gave out jobs, promotions, and pay raised to the side chick. in fact he is divorced so really that was it. While republicans clutch their pearls, Timmy still has a job.
