WHAT DID BIDEN'S VISIT TO HOUSTON ACCOMPLISH?

The Gulf Freeway and Loop 610 were shut down to accommodate the President's entourage, causing an enormous traffic nightmare 


By Howie Katz


President Biden and the First Lady visited Houston Friday ostensibly to see firsthand the suffering caused by the recent winter storm.

Air Fore One landed at Ellington Field Joint Reserve Base in South Houston, necessitating the closure of the Gulf Freeway in order to accommodate the President's entourage.

Biden stopped of at the Harris County Office of Emergency Management, the Houston Food Bank and the FEMA Covid vaccination site at NRG Park, the latter visit also necessitating the closure of Loop 610.

Biden spent most of the visit at the Houston Food Bank where he spoke with and told the workers they were "doing God's work."

At the federal vaccination site, Biden gave a speech on the importance of everyone getting vaccinated. 

Had Biden not come to Texas, federal disaster relief aid for the people who lost power and clean water, and had their homes damaged or destroyed by broken water pipes, still would have been forthcoming.

So, what did Biden's visit accomplish?  Well, he spoke with a lot of people, which gave them a thrill they can tell their grandchildren about.  And his comings and goings caused the shut down of several major thoroughfares which resulted in an enormous traffic nightmare.

SEEING IS BELIEVING ..... AND YOU GOTTA SEE THESE CAKES!

At only 23 years old, Luke Vincentini, a pastry chef based in New Jersey, makes totally amazing cakes!  

He perfectly reproduces objects such as bags of chips, balls of wool, beer cans, fruit, steaks, animals, etc.!

Before seeing them cut out, you can hardly believe that they are really cakes.

TRUMP'S SCOTUS APPOINTEES APPARENTLY WILL NOT HELP HIM TO AVOID JAIL TIME

SCOTUS allows Manhattan DA access to eight years of Trump's tax returns


By Howie Katz


SCOTUS. with a 6-3 conservative majority including three Trump appointees, on Monday upheld a lower court's ruling that Mazars USA, the former president's longtime accounting firm, must turn over eight years of Trump's tax returns that have been subpoenaed by Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance.

Vance has been probing hush money paid to porn star Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal, and on potential bank, tax and insurance fraud, as well as falsification of business records, any one of which could send Trump to prison if convicte.

The three justices that Trump appointed to SCOTUS apparently will not help him to avoid jail time.

In another case SCOTUS ruled on favor of Trump by denying Stormy Daniel the right to sue him for defamation because in one of his tweets, he called her a "con job'.  But that ruling pales against the tax ruling.  

There are other criminal investigations against Trump, including one in Georgia for trying to get Georgia Secretary of State to change the vote count.

It is quite possible that Trump may be forced to leave his Mar-a-Lago residence for an extended stay at a Graybar Hotel.

CRUZE SHOULD RESIGN FROM THE SENATE, NOT BECAUSE HE TOOK HIS FAMILY TO CANCUN, BUT BECAUSE HE LEFT HIS PET DOG BEHIND

 

By Howie Katz


By now, unless they are living under a rock, everybody knows that while millions of Texans were freezing their asses off, Senator Ted Cruz up and took his family off to Cancun.

Cruz has received a shitstorm of criticism for fleeing the freezing temperatures to warm and sunny Cancun while most of his constituents were suffering from the bitter cold.

His trip did not piss me off.  That was just awfully stupid.  What did piss me off was that he left his pet poodle Snowflake behind.  That was awfully cruel.

 

Snowflake, the Cruz's poodle, was left behind in their freezing home while they went to MexicoCruz should resign from the US Senate forthwith!

THE NATION'S ENERGY CAPITAL LEFT MOST OF ITS RESIDENTS POWER-LESS FOR MORE THAN THREE DAYS

Fortunately I have a gas generator that supplied my house with power when the electric system failed


By Howie Katz


Houston, the nation's energy capitol, my ass!  Most of Houston's residents were left without power for more than three days.  But fear not, the city's downtown skyscrapers remained all lighted up.


The deep freeze that has paralyzed Texas by knocking out its power grid and sparking an energy crisis saw 5 million homes plunged into darkness amid unprecedented rolling blackouts. Pictured above is homes in Houston without power but empty offices still lit up Houston skyscrapers all lighted up while the rest of the city is without power

 

Fortunately I have a gas generator that supplies me with power when the electric system fails.  

Unfortunately, the gas generator does not restore the phone service, leaving me unable to connect to the internet.  And because my Lifeline medical alert system is connected to the phone line, that was out too.

The power just came back on only about five hours ago.  Now I have phone service again and now I can get caught up with the emails that piled up for three days.  And BGB is back in order too.  And in case I fall again, Lifeline will send a Houston Fire Department ambulance to my House.

Quick, git a rope for the varmint responsible for Houston's extended blackout ... and it ain't Mother Winter.
