… they are certainly in the majority.

Oklahoma state Sen. Ralph Shortey is facing numerous charges from Moore police after he was caught in a Super 8 Motel room with a minor boy.

And here Ralph is with Donald Junior.

Shortey was the state chair of President Donald Trump’s campaign during the primary elections.

“I am proud and honored to have been tapped as Chairman of the campaign for Oklahoma,” Shortey wrote on his Facebook Sept. 2015, according to The Lost Ogle. “We are very excited for the opportunity to have Mr. Trump here,” he said announcing a rally for Trump at the Oklahoma State Fair.

Y’all, it’s Oklahoma.

Edith “Edie” Windsor is gloriously raising hell in heaven today.

Edie was a gifted and brilliant mathematician who worked on the ground floor of IBM’s development of the Univac.  As a child, she lived through the depression and saw her family lose their home and their business.  Although physically tiny, Edie was larger than life.  Edie was also gay.

She is the Windsor in United States v. Windsor, where she overturned Section 3 of DOMA on a 5-4 decision, allowing surviving spouses in same-sex marriages the same tax benefits as allowed in any other marriage in America.

This is Edie in June of this year, at 88 years old, at the DC Pride Parade.

She is a genuine American hero and lived a life of courage, fortitude, and joy.

I hope there is another Edie Windsor born today because we need another one.

Pride.

Schertz, Texas, (think San Antonio suburbs) City Council member Robin Thompson, who is a Republican primary voter, thought it would be oh so funny to post a false meme on his Facebook page to indicate that Antifa and Black Lives Matter groups did nothing to help with Hurricane Harvey recovery.

The meme was not only false but some folks in Schertz thought it was racist.

Thompson was outraged, outraged I tell you.  To no one’s surprised, he balled up.

Thompson, who is running for re-election in November, insisted the post was not intended to be racist — although he admits he’s been accused of racism in the past.

“Tonight marks the fourth time in my life that I have been called ‘racist,” Thompson told City Council on Thursday.

Okay, so admitting this has happened before, and that you’re edging up on being a serial racist, probably does help your cause very much.

But, Thompson went on rolling and sealed the deal.  Attempting to prove to his fellow council members that he is not, no way, a racist, he explained that he used to work with a church in Georgia.

“I was called in by the leaders of the church, and forgive the language I am going to use, but it was exactly what was said to me — ‘We are firing you because you are encouraging n***ers to use our bathrooms and drink our water,” Thompson said.

Slam dunk, buddy.

That word just rolled off your lips way too easy.

Thanks to SGray for the heads up.

Alex Jones, y’all.

He says that “they” are putting drugs in Donald Trump’s Diet Coke to make him act weird.

Jones also said he could get killed for telling you this.

But I’ve talked to people, multiple ones, and they believe that they are putting a slow sedative that they’re building up that’s also addictive in his Diet Cokes and in his iced tea and that the president by 6 or 7 at night is basically slurring his words and is drugged. Now first they had to isolate him to do that. But yes, ladies and gentleman, I’ve talked to people that talk to the president now at 9 at night, he is slurring his words. And I’m going to leave it at that. I’ve talked to folks that have talked to him directly…

Now I’m risking my life, by the way, to tell you all this… They drug presidents because the power structure wants a puppet. The president needs his blood tested by an outside physician he trusts.”

Okay, I’m confused.  Who is getting drugs?

You can watch it here.  But I need to warn you that merely watching it, according to Jones, could get you killed.

The Wall Street Journal is breaking the news this morning.

Some of President Donald Trump’s lawyers earlier this summer concluded that Jared Kushner should step down as senior White House adviser because of possible legal complications related to a probe of Russia’s involvement in the 2016 presidential election …

They voiced these concerns to Donald Trump.  Nothing happened.

Look, Kushner rolled over on his own father.  His dad went to federal prison for 14 months for about 50 charges of illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion and witness tampering.

Jared Kushner – then an undergraduate at Harvard University – saw his name improperly put on some $90,000 of his father’s donations as well. He stood by his father during the investigation …

Oh yeah, Dad took the fall and the whole family “stood by” him.

Here’s how the Kushners operate.

The last charge involved a particularly nasty incident where Charles Kushner send his sister Esther a tape showing her husband William Schulder with a prostitute hired by Kushner to discredit his brother-in-law, who was cooperating with federal authorities.

Just so you know why Trump bought an 11 foot pole.  He wouldn’t touch a Kushner with a 10 foot one.

As we all know too well, the Texas Gulf Coast, including our own Harris County, home of the Planet Hooston, received its THIRD 500 years storm 10 days ago, flooding over 100,000 homes and causing $150 to $180 billion of damage in Texas.  AGAIN.

Ed Emmett, who is our illustrious County Judge, just had a brilliant idea – why don’t we fix that?  Good idea, Ed.  First let’s talk about some numbers.

• 178,000 structures sit IN the 100 year floodplain (remember, we’ve had 3 – 500 year plus storms in 3 years.  County flooding guru Jeff Lindner said Harvey was the 40,000 year storm.  How’s that feel?
• Here’s what really stupid…The county’s 2,450 miles of bayous and streams can only handle 20% of a 100 year storm.  This is why it floods when it gets humid here.
• There is almost unbridled development going on in flood prone areas.
• Our two western flood control basins, Addicks and Barker, have outlived their limited capacity to control flooding, as demonstrated by the thousands of homes that were flooded after the county started releasing water to protect the dams themselves.

Emmett, who is a mainstream Republican (he uses his brain) is known for his pragmatic management style.  He’s calling for sweeping changes to thinking on flood control, including a new reservoir, buyouts of flood prone houses, and other flood control measures.  In presenting the plan and speaking of the now common flooding, he said, “We can’t continue to say these are anomalies. You’ve got to say, We’re in a new normal, so how are we going to react to it?”

All I say is amen to that.  The $20 billion it would cost to mitigate flood damage is just a fraction of ONE of these debilitating events.
