Friday Lone Star Lefty Round-up


Keep your eyes on the Gulf again.


Governor Abbott has folded to the disaster capitalists who are the base of his financial support and opened up the state's businesses for more COVID spreading.


Including assisted living facilities.


But not the bars. Vox caught up with an Austin liquor store owner who described how his business has continually made adjustments through the six-month-long pandemic.

Teachers and students are adjusting as well.


With just a few of the most recent election headlines ...


Here are those details (Facebook Live, tonight at 7 p.m. CT).


(Remember: in last Saturday's weekender, Senator Lucio tweeted about the Pharr-B-Q. tomorrow.)


Last month the San Antonio Report posted some renderings of the restored battlefield and the relocated Cenotaph.


Ralph Bivens for the Texas Realty News Report snarks on Tesla's choice of a rural outpost for its truck factory, making the case that Houston would have been smarter.

Speaking of stupid:


A short wrap-up this Friday. Here's a few social justice posts.

White House Update: Greens and Blues see red (w/*updates)


Donks win some (Wisconsin, *Pennsylvania), Sunflowers fight back (Texas).


Plenty blogged already about that legal case.


There's been a lot of the geek fighting Twitter is famous for, so I'll just post some of my favorites.


I suppose that's enough blinding hypocrisy for one week.

-- While the Democrats and the Greens fought it out in court, Kanye also had to do battle for ballot access. The stress is getting to him though, and he's ... well ...


I was going to put "seeing yellow" in the headline, but it looks like he's properly hydrated, as it's more straw-colored. I would like to know if he was holding his own phone for this video. His hand -- if it's his -- is remarkably steady.

-- What's Sleepy Old Joe been up to? Latinx outreach.


Keep in mind that he hired all these new people with Latin surnames after being criticized for failing with the Browns, and this is what they came up with.


I don't know. I don't know what this is, either.


I was the quartermaster for my Scout troop at summer camp in 1969. I think that's the last time I've heard the word spoken. Ladies' department managers have lived a little longer than quartermasters, but they're going the way of department stores and dinosaurs also. Maybe Joe should go down to the Bijou and watch a newsreel, catch up on current events.

*Update: Biden's drive-in town hall on Thursday evening went well for him, although Politico thinks it was a softball session. Personally I wasn't thrilled, or surprised, at his support for fracking.


"Nothing will fundamentally change", except Kamala's shoes.


-- So let's mention Trump's town hall, where he got told to shut up by the Black woman, confused herd immunity with herd mentality, and a few other lies and ignorant comments.



*Update: Cash strapped Trump campaign awaits bailout from big donors

-- Just listen to this man.


Who needs a yard sign?
