I won’t touch blue bell since their listeria outbreak and how they mismanaged it. They knew there was a problem, pulled ice cream from stores but didn’t inform the public.

Mayor Baldy keeps pounding the table with “the city is broke” and yet is risking throwing away millions of federal infrastructure dollars because the projects were planned in his eyes by “anti car activists” just because they include a bike lane and some nice sidewalks…highly infuriating.

And don’t get me started on the fact that his new appointees to the METRO board have hit the brakes on all of the Bus Rapid Transit lines that have been in the works for years, likely for the same reason. Only projects that are moving forward are using METRO money to repave streets for both cars and buses to use. If it doesn’t help single occupant car infrastructure, Mayor Baldy’s administration doesn’t seem to want it done…

Is there a joke here I’m missing? She’s wrapping houses. Anybody with a pressure washer and a hose can that clean that up in about 10 minutes. 

It's Friendswood. The mom was probably helping the kids bully another kid.

Ok. Now it makes sense. Criminal defense attorneys aren’t cheap. Have fun with that.

Kids in our neighborhood just Favor their booze.  I was walking the other day past one of my best friend's house.  He has twin boys the same age as my son (15).  Little turds had a case of beer and another of white claws dropped off at their door.  Favor driver just left it on porch.

Chaser:

would be a lot easier for more people to “dump the pump” if you put any sort of effort into making an East-West transit line like the University Line happen instead of dumping it without any sort of vote or public input. Incredibly frustrated as part of the 70% of voters who voted for bond issuance to pay for more transit options and instead we have limp dicks at METRO cowing down to Mayor Baldy who wants everyone driving cars everywhere canceling all the transit projects in METRO Next.

Dozens of people a day use the Bart line on Post Oak.

Silver line was set up to fail because it didn’t have any other rapid transit connections, like the one that could have been provided by the University BRT Line (or the old Blue line light rail concept from the early 2000’s that got repeatedly killed by John Culbertson) and had a lot of bad luck in opening during COVID.

I get why they did it as a trial balloon to show people how a bus system could be similar to light rail, but having it all on its own in uptown doomed it. 

Maybe we can try again to expand transit in another 4-40 years once all the boomer politicians like Whitmire and the bozos he put on the METRO board are 6 feet under the grass and not paving over the grass…

As someone who lives in Afton Oaks, I am thankful Culbertson killed that.  Rail down Richmond would have killed the neighborhood.  Richmond is the one decent east-west road in the city.

It’s good in our neighborhood.  They repaved a few years ago.  People now drive too fast sans pot holes.  Especially until they reach the UP railroad tracks.

Do you drive a literal monster truck? Thats the only reason I can think of anyone thinking Richmond is the one decent east-west road in the city when it's like driving on the surface of the moon. Would have had to resurface it into an actual nice level graded road if they put rail down it years ago...

I don’t see how Richmond rail would have killed Afton oaks. I understand that neighborhoods don’t want it but saying it would kill a neighborhood is a stretch. Besides afton oaks is already bordered by 610, Hwy 59, westheimer and a freight rail line. It’s not like it’s Mayberry. If anything rail would push vehicle traffic away from Richmond. I avoid light rail streets.

It's the people rail would bring in.  Lot of bums.  We don't need more of them.

Which section are you talking about? It’s a pretty smooth road for the most part. Westheimer and W Alabama are far worse.

I guess I’m thinking further west on Richmond, lived and worked in Westchase for a while and it was an absolute moonscape out there west of and for a good while east of the beltway.

Guess l give you points for cutting to the chase and being honest about it just being about not wanting “those people” that rail may bring. Would contend most of them wouldn’t be getting on or off the train at the maybe 1 stop that would be in Afron Oaks and would just pass thru on the way to downtown or the Galleria, but never gonna find out who’s more right about that anyhow…

According to our Mayor, “those people” don’t go to the Galleria area so transportation for them is unneeded.

If our Mayor truly believes that he obviously hasn’t been outside his River Oaks country club bubble in a very long time

I know John is more cultured than that tho, saw him at Romanos on West Grey the weekend the Final 4 was in town last year with what I can only describe as a lady of the evening of the Asian persuasion

At least you're honest about wanting to deny public transit infrastructure so you can have an easier time sorting out whomever you deem to be undesirable

We’ve been through this before in transit. If homeless people can ride for free with impunity, they’re always going to be causing trouble. 
 

A family member was in the hospital for about 2 months recently. Just a nightmare, but the staff was great. The nurses are extremely hard working, but they rely heavily on Patient Care Assistants (PCA). These folks don’t make much, about $20 an hour. Many of them are women, many are first or second generation Americans. All of them are afraid to ride Metro to work. They’d rather pay $20 a day to park at their own workplace than take the train. Just a sad state of affairs that the people who need light rail the most won’t use it.

From articles that I've read, the DA has not confirmed that she was raped and they're awaiting test results. I imagine if the DA, police and responsible media all declare that she was raped and then tests say otherwise, then the defendant gets to argue even more that they cannot get a fair trial in Houston.

Even your tabloid article doesn't confirm that she was raped. Only the headline declares it which is not the story. Why not wait for the facts to emerge before you are outraged.

Sorry.  I thought we were getting all riled up about people who rape kids.  I was just pointing out the group that is among the statistically most likely to do so (still falls behind "creepy uncle/dad/other male relative," but closing the gap it seems).  Our kids are generally safer among fast food restaurant employees, drag queens, auto mechanics, immigrants, farmers, and 1000 other groups, than they are among church staff, but you know, it seems we're actually not that concerned about child rape at all.  We're mostly concerned about using it as an excuse to bitch about something else (if you hate child rape, you HAVE to hate drag queens and immigrants!  What about church workers, you know, the group of people who keep getting popped, every freaking day, for child molestation/rape and who are statistically in a much more favorable environment to keep doing so?  Oh, well, umm.....FREEDOM OF RELIGION!  Why do you hate Jesus?!)

Bottom line, if we were really all about "protecting our children," we'd be storming churches.  Instead, we try to point the finger.....anywhere else, including at groups who, STATISTICALLY, are LESS likely to commit sexual abuse of a child.

Just say you hate wetbacks, and get on with it.

L-ohfucking-L. I hate wetbacks. Yes that is correct. Me, the guy whose great grandmother is literally a mojado and who worked in a watermelon field during the spring/summer and pulled weeds in a cotton field in the fall. The woman whose name is tattooed across my chest because I am so proud of the strength, perseverance, and resilience that she displayed her entire life. Yep, I hate wetbacks.

There is no justification for mocking a child being raped and murdered. Go fuck yourself you fat sanctimonious cunt. And shove your strawman up your ass while you’re at it, but I got $20 says you can’t reach that far anyways.

https://www.aol.com/news/harris-county-deputy-fernando-esqueda-105038944.html

A manhunt is underway in Houston for the gunman who ambushed and killed an on-duty deputy overnight, authorities said.

The incident began just after 10 p.m. Wednesday when Harris County deputies responded to an aggravated assault at a Little Caesars pizza shop, Harris County Sheriff's Office Chief Deputy Mike Lee said at a news conference.

"What happened is senseless," Lee said early Thursday. "The suspect came into the location to pick up a pizza that he had ordered."

"He was upset because the order was incorrect," Lee said.

The suspect allegedly verbally assaulted the employee, "then produced a firearm and pistol-whipped the employee and then fled the location," Lee said.

"The employee at Little Caesars was able to identify the getaway car by make and model, color and license plate," Lee said.

Deputy Fernando Esqueda spotted the suspect's car, Lee said. Esqueda then "had a phone conversation with one of the other detectives to let him know he did have the suspect vehicle in sight," Lee said.

While on the phone, "our deputy apparently was ambushed" and shot multiple times, Lee said.

The sheriff identified Ronnie Palmer, 44, as a person of interest in the shooting. The sheriff says Palmer is also wanted in connection to an aggravated assault at a Little Caesars Pizza at 15634 Wallisville Road on Wednesday night.

 

Piece of shit.

He was/is the football coach at Monterey Peninsula College. That's a rough 44.
