Guess who’s running for Congress?
I had hoped she’d run against Murkowski for the Senate, but the House will do.

Stolen Vote!!!
I arrived at the polling station in a good mood, having established beforehand that yes, I was a registered voter and registered to vote in 3rd District TX withal. Also, I found the address of the nearest polling station and off I went, all ready to cast my primary vote against that little crapweasel Rep. Van Taylor and for the righteous judge, Keith Self.
My good mood evaporated when I got my ballot paper. There, at the top of the list were three names I’d never heard of before. So I went back to the polling folks and said, “I think there’s something wrong — these aren’t the 3rd District Republican House candidates.”
“Oh,” came the reply, “you’ve been redistricted into the 4th District.”
“No I haven’t. I checked on the official TXVote.org website just a couple hours ago, and according to them, I’m registered in the 3rd.”
“Ah,” came the airy reply, “I don’t think the website was updated in time.”
I didn’t do what I wanted to do because I’d left my guns in the car and anyway, I think it may be illegal to destroy those poxy voting machines with gunfire.
So I didn’t vote for any of the strangers, because I don’t know them. I did, however, vote for the Usual Suspects — Jim Abbot, Ken Paxton and the other top Republican worms, and pretty much nobody else except the names I already knew from previous elections. (I nearly voted for ex-LTC Allen West instead of Abbott in protest, but he can run again, and then I will.)
I was going to write to the Governor demanding heads on pikes, or worse, for the incompetent assholes who are supposed to do this stuff — aren’t computer systems wonderful? — but I had to allow my wrath to cool, because apparently it’s against the law to say some of the things I was going to say.
Anyway, all has ended well, because the little crapweasel has canceled his reelection campaign, no doubt because he was only going to lose the runoff to Judge Self as more and more voters realized what a little crapweasel he really is. Strange that in an ultra-conservative district, voters aren’t going to take too kindly to his support of anti-Trumpers and shagging some houri extramaritally.
Which means that a former LTC and -judge and staunch conservative is going to Washington on our behalf. I mean their behalf, because I’ve been shunted out of his district. I have no idea what the 4th District is all about, and now I know how the Wandering Jew felt.
By the way, in learning about the candidates, I discovered that two of the Democrat nominees are an ex-Californian and ex-Bostonian respectively. Fuck me, that didn’t take long.
And thankee muchly to the Loyal Readers who emailed me about Crapweasel’s withdrawal.
New Blood Needed
Longtime Readers may remember that I held our former House Rep, the late Sam Johnson (PBUH) in the highest regard, and while I understood why he retired (age, Vietnam POW, etc), I was sad that he did, sadder still when he passed away last year.
He was replaced by a slightly oily little worm whom I’d actually met prior to his election as Mr. Sam’s replacement — but as he was the best of a rather poor bunch, I voted for him.
How times have changed. Today is primary day, and Van Taylor is being challenged by several Republicans in the Third District.
Just so we’re all clear as to why Taylor’s being challenged, this slimy little RINO voted in favor of the disgusting Jan 6 House Commission (one of two Texas reps, and one of twenty-three Reps nationwide to do so). He’s proven himself to be a Never-Trumper, and I’m not going to vote for him. (He’s also been caught bonking some chick in Washington, but I don’t care as much about that as the other stuff.)
Looking over the candidates, former judge and arch-conservative Keith Self seems to have the right stuff:
Infantry Platoon Leader, Special Forces Detachment Commander, Company Commander, as the Executive Officer to a Major General in Egypt, responsible for managing $2 Billion in security assistance. In addition, Keith served in Joint Staff assignments in US European Command and later in NATO Military Headquarters in Belgium.
During his career, Keith received the Master Parachutist Badge, Ranger Tab, Special Forces Tab, and held some of the highest level of security clearances. He retired with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
Upon retiring from the U.S. Army after 25 years of service, Keith ran for and was elected County Judge in Collin County. In that position, Keith stood up for us when others wouldn’t—cutting taxes 25%, defending private property rights, and solving the pension crisis.
See you at the polls today, Judge.
Sauce For Goose AND Gander
So here’s this report:
Retired generals urge Pentagon to take steps to avert ‘civil war’ after 2024 election
“The Defense Department should war-game the next potential post-election insurrection or coup attempt to identify weak spots. It must then conduct a top-down debrief of its findings and begin putting in place safeguards to prevent breakdowns not just in the military, but also in any agency that works hand in hand with the military.”
I’m all over that thought. But I should caution these old assholes that as usual, they’re preparing to fight the last war, not the next one.
You see, there will be no problems among military or even among ex-military, as they seem to be so nervous about, because the outcome of the next election is likely to be a resounding Republican victory.
But amongst all their little wargames, I hope these guys actually implement their action plans for when the Left starts an insurrection after Election 2024. That, my old Rockjaws, is the more likely prospect.
Not-So-Far
Here’s a handwringing article which should make us all chuckle:
How France embraced the far right
At his rally, Eric Zemmour outlined his plans to create a political party called “Reconquest”, referring to the historic period known as the Reconquista, when Christian forces drove Muslim rulers from the Iberian peninsula.
Mr Zemmour is campaigning on a bizarre zero immigration policy and has frequently come under fire for his anti-Muslim comments.
Am I the only one who thinks that a zero-immigration policy isn’t bizarre? (And I’m speaking as an immigrant myself.)
All I know is that somewhere in the ether, Charles Martel is smiling.
Age Limit
There are several reasons why there are age limits set for holders of public office — the POTUS has to be over 40, for example — but here’s a classic case to support why youngins need to be kept away from the levers of power:
[Democrat lawmaker] Aaron Coleman, 21, was arrested early Saturday morning on suspicion of drunken driving, the Kansas Highway Patrol said. Coleman was already out on bond from him being detained over suspicions of domestic battery.
But that’s not all, folks!
Coleman has been a regular source of controversy in Kansas since he was elected in 2020. A legislative committee reprimanded the 21-year-old Democrat in February due to alleged past abuses against girls and young women. He was also barred from the Kansas Department of Labor due to alleged “disruptive, intimidating and berating behavior.”
And:
The Kansas Democratic Party withdrew its support of Coleman in 2020 after he admitted to posting revenge pornography.
Talk about an overachiever… this being the 2020s and he being a Democrat, I wouldn’t be surprised if he runs for President, next. Never mind that Constitutional nonsense, it’s racist or something.
I know, you want to know what this little shit stain looks like:
Thomas Jefferson would be so proud.
