Unless I’m missing something, now that PSJA ISD has terminated its contract with its former superintendent, Jorge Arredondo, and named Alejandro Elias as its interim supe, it doesn’t have to advertise the position. Instead, all the district has to do is name him as its “Lone Finalist” for the job, let it sit in the waiting dock for 21 days, and then execute a contract with him.

The way Elon Musk is behaving lately, could you pay me to climb aboard one of his rockets at Boca Chica Beach and blast off into space? Uh, no. If he can’t handle Twitter, how can he handle a space program? In fact, if I had a place on South Padre Island, and I knew Musk was about to send one of his rockets into space, I would vacate the island. How many of his rockets have failed so far? More than a few. I think the last one was this past July. An engine test went up in flames caused by an unexpected ignition failure. In what could only be described as an understatement, Musk tweeted, “Yeah, actually not good.”

Unless you’re a hermit living in a cave devoid of Internet reception, you have probably heard thisor- that Democrat opining that Republicans who found fault with the 2020 election are election deniers and therefore a danger to democracy itself. The only problem with that reasoning is that in recent years Democrats themselves have been extremely vocal in denouncing elections. Hillary, herself, after chastising Trump for refusing to say he would abide by the 2016 election results if he lost, went on to question those results when she lost. Even worse, she attempted a coup by spreading the lie that the Donald was a tool of Russian dictator Putin who had meddled in the election to put him in office. She spied on Trump while he was both candidate and president and was responsible for the infamous phony report which had him cavorting with fictitious prostitutes in Moscow. If her actions weren’t a danger to democracy, then what were they?
