You think Ted Cruz has a screw loose in his thinker assembly?

Please meet his sire in the breeding stock at the holy crap what are these people thinking farm.

Ted’s dad is a dominionist.  Now all parents think their kids are real special, but Raphael Cruz has got that particularity floored in neutral.

In a sermon last year at an Irving, Texas, megachurch that helped elect Ted Cruz to the United States Senate, Cruz’ father Rafael Cruz indicated that his son was among the evangelical Christians who are anointed as “kings” to take control of all sectors of society, an agenda commonly referred to as the “Seven Mountains” mandate, and “bring the spoils of war to the priests”, thus helping to bring about a prophesied “great transfer of wealth”, from the “wicked” to righteous gentile believers. There is a link to the video of Rafael Cruz describing the “great transfer of wealth” and the role of anointed “kings” in various sectors of society, including government, who are to “bring the spoils of war to the priests”.

And to think I was bragging when my son could go potty.

Yeah, I think he tried to do that with shutting down the government but cashing his own paycheck.  It didn’t work out all that well.

Remember how we used to worry about George Dubya having to live up to his father’s legacy.  Honey, that was child’s play.

Two female Republican judges in Texas had a full fledged crime syndicate going on in the courtroom out in … you guessed it, East Texas, home of Louie Gohmert.

Judge Elizabeth Coker wanted to be both judge and prosecutor.  During a trial on child abuse, she passed notes to a local  prosecutor, Kaycee Jones, suggesting questions that Jones should relay to the prosecutor trying the case.

That’s called poopie del toro.  It is also called illegal.  Both women admit guilt.  Jones writes —

Jones

“On August 8, 2012, I did receive a text message from Judge Coker that suggested a line of questioning in an injury to a child trial over which she was presiding and telling me to tell the trial prosecutor,” writes Jones in an April 2013 letter, which was obtained by the station. “I was not the trial prosecutor and had nothing to do with the investigation or prosecution of the case, but I was present in the courtroom for portions of the trial as an observer. When I received the text, I hand wrote the text verbatim and asked our investigator to deliver it to the prosecutor who was trying the case.”

Jones adds, “I deeply regret that I acted in this manner. It was wrong and I knew better.”

After this incident, Jones herself became a judge.  She is a member of the Rotary Club and Central Baptist Church.  She apparently sleeps well at night which is totally creepy.

The Judicial Conduct Commission can’t do anything about it because this happened before she was a judge.  There is a complaint at the Bar Association.  Except some shockingly offensive wrist slapping.

And there’s Judge Elizabeth Coker.  She’s a doozy.

Coker

“The Commission investigated claims that Judge Coker allegedly engaged in other improper ex parte communications and meetings with Jones, other members of the Polk County District Attorney’s Office, the San Jacinto County District Attorney and certain defense attorneys regarding various cases pending in her court,” the agreement states.

“Judge Coker allegedly exhibited a bias in favor of certain attorneys and prejudice against others in both her judicial rulings and her court appointments; and Judge Coker allegedly met with jurors in an inappropriate manner, outside the presence of counsel, while the jurors were deliberating in one or more criminal trials.”

A bailiff in her courtroom filed an affidavit that she went into a jury room while they were deliberating and tried in influence their decision.

She has resigned and can never serve as a judge again.  Whoop-te-do.  She can still practice law, and draw full retirement and health care from the taxpayers of the state Texas, including those she screwed.  She needs to be in freekin’ jail.

That’s my problem with Republican judges.  The justice system is a game of gotcha to them.  They have ethics as loose as ashes in a windstorm.

Thanks to Elizabeth for the heads up.

The beauty salon will be without email starting Friday night until Monday morning.  With any luck at all, the kids in the basement will have all email issues resolved after this.  I’ve been with the same email company since 1994 so I hate to switch now.

So, I will occasionally check email at fortbendems at gmail dot com.  But, unless it’s an emergency, save it until Monday.

I will be appearing with Wendy Davis at the Brazos County Democratic Party Gala on Sunday night.  The tickets sold out a month ago.  It ought to be a load of fun!

Remember when I asked you to save a couple of dollars back from the Wendy donation because I had a special project coming up?

Well, here it is.

Glen Maxey, former State Representative and current Democratic National Committeeman, but most importantly my good friend, has a project I promised to help fund because I believe so strongly in it.

From Glen:

We have a lot of work to do assisting Democratic voters to avoid the roadblocks being thrown up to keep folks from voting.

You don’t go into war without state of the art weapons and you certainly don’t go into an election year without state of the art online voter tools.

We’re going to win this war against voters. That victory happens through hard work and commitment.

We need modern, state of the art online tools to assist voters and our volunteers get the on-the-ground work done to register voters and get their ballots cast.

So, I have some of the top programming wizards in Austin building us these online tools.  Some are donating their expertise to manage the projects.   But the actual programming costs the Democratic Party $65 an hour (and that’s a deep discount).

We’re building the back-end infrastructure for these tools to interact with the 13+ million voter record file.  Once that’s paid for, all the other tools will be a breeze.

We need $6,000 to complete this project.  That’s not a lot of money in politics.  Except for the programing, all the work is being done by volunteers.  I don’t want to tip off the Republicans to what we’re doing but I can assure you that it puts valuable, practical tools and information in the hands of grassroots workers and precinct chairs.  And it’s not just for this election cycle.  This sucker will be even more powerful in 2016 when Hillary runs.

Ole Glen and Me

I’m hoping to raise $1,000 of it here.  Big Bud Malone kicked in $50 and Ole Bubba kicked in $100 to get things started.

I promise not to pester you for money again until after next March.  Then I might start again if a very worthwhile project comes along.

Y’all, we have to turn Texas blue so we’re starting right here and right now.  Once Texas flips Democratic, there will never be another Republican in the White House in our lifetime.

Click here and be my favorite person today.

I wouldn’t ask if it wasn’t important.  Hell, give $5 just to tell Glen that you’re on the team no matter where you live.  He’ll love ya for that.

Somebody just asked me where they could send a check.  Send it to:

Glen Maxey, c/o The Texas Democratic Party,
4818 East Ben White Blvd., Suite 104
Austin, TX 78741

Thank yew, Honey.

There are several things that scare the crap outta me before I’ve even had my first cup of coffee in the morning, and of those things, this is #1.  This headline.  This one right here.  In the morning newspaper.  This.

On the truthiness side, it most certainly would have to be God calling him because nobody else sure the hell is.

While most of you were ignoring him, I have been keeping an eye on Tom ever since he got indicted, mainly because he lives down the road from me and until they prove that sleezy is not contagious, I am keeping my distance.  Once he left congress, Tom tried one scheme after another to make money.  Most of them would make a monthly posting on his website before the scheme flopped and crashed, until he finally got down to just begging money off a damn street corner.  Click the little one to see the big one.

The guy has quit everything he ever tried – the exterminating business, congress, Dancing With the Stars, the book writing circuit … he’s a whiner and wimp and that’s the damn truth.

In case you were wondering, Tom DeLay hasn’t found Jesus.  It’s just his sideshow.  He says Jesus tells him to do things and then he doesn’t have to accept responsibility when he falls on his face.  Also, it sounds a whole lot better than, “My Momma said I have to ….”

So now he’s leading a revolution.  Thank you, Poncho Villa.

Former Texas congressman Tom DeLay called on members of the Texas Patriot Tea Party on Tuesday night to join him in a revolution for the Constitution, to “shut down” every part of federal government that is not specifically based on the Constitution.

“It’s time for a constitutional renewal, a constitutional revival,” DeLay said in Burleson, adding that this revival is inherently linked to a “spiritual awakening” he sees happening across the country. He said conservatives have allowed “the left to intimidate us, cut off our heads, put us in prison.”

Holy crap, Dude, that was you.  You led the conservatives.  You’re late to the Tea Party game.  You invented the politics of personal destruction and now you’re leading a revolution against it?  Don’t you get dizzy sometime?

And here’s the part that makes me giggle like a little girl.

“It’s time for a revolution,” DeLay said. “I am not advocating for revolution in the streets. But if that’s what it takes … ”

Oh Tom, oh Honey, you’re 5′ 4″, chubby, 67 years old, balding, and have had a face lift or two.  Just think how fabulous you’re gonna look taking it to the streets.

The Burleson City Council

Plus, Tom was in Burleson, Texas, making this speech.  I go to Burleson every now and then because I like being the youngest person in town.  Burleson is 95.62 white and the median income for a family is $50,432.   Yeah, for sure, those people need to be supporting the Tea Party.

Tom has a plan to gain control of the government by having the Tea Party win the House because “the House controls the purse strings.”  He also warned them to protect Ted Cruz.

“You will lose Ted Cruz. They will destroy him if you don’t support him,” DeLay warned.

No, no, no, Darlin’, we’re sitting on our hands because Ted Cruz is doing a perfectly competent job of destroying himself.

So the bottom line is that Tom DeLay has a new gig – he wants to make money by selling God and the Constitution.  Break a leg, Tom.

Oh, and Tom compares his years of being indicted and convicted to being like Moses in the wilderness.  He better watch that Messiah Complex because I think Ted Cruz has the third coast distribution rights on it.

Tom, while you were away, our cow died.  So we won’t be needing your bull anymore.
