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?
When it comes to the khaki-uniformed, cowboy-hat-wearing failure we all know as Texas DPS Director Steve McCraw, is “contempt” too strong of a word to describe the feelings I have for this guy? I think not.
The Chinese communists have not been particularly secretive when it comes to explaining their strategy for defeating the United States. They’re committed to exploiting every American weakness by every means necessary. Since we’re a democratic republic, they do all they can to meddle in our elections. Since we innovate, they steal our technology. If we won’t allow that, they buy companies producing that technology from countries that allow such sales. Since we invent medicines, they undercut production prices and lure companies to have their products made in China. Since jet engines and microchips require rare earth minerals in their manufacture, they corner the market on those minerals worldwide. Since many Americans experiment in using narcotics, they ship enough fentanyl to the United States via the Mexican drug cartels to kill every living person in America. Meanwhile, China uses the Belt-and-Road Initiative to give predatory loans that result in China controlling ports around the world even as they build their navy.
