Thanks to Alfredo for the heads up.

Donald Trump gave a speech last night at the Susan B Anthony Club in DeeCee.

He was his usual calm self. Then he said,

“But if Democrats gain power, they will try to reverse these incredible gains. These are historic gains. They will try and reverse many of them. So your vote in 2018 is every bit as important as your vote in 2016 — although I’m not sure I really believe that, but you know. (Laughter.) I don’t know who the hell wrote that line. I’m not sure. (Laughter and applause.) But it’s still important.”

Sure, there was laughter but it was nervous laughter, because Trump was serious.  And, as usual, he was reading his speech for the first time.

… But it’s still important, but not real important because my name isn’t on the ballot.

Thanks to Bryan for the heads up.

Okay, Florida, you win.

Robin Garlock, who is 44 years old, hid his revolver in the broiler when his kids came to visit him.

He neglected to tell his girlfriend.

She pre-heated the oven for something she planned to cook later that evening.

She heard a gunshot. Then more gunshots. She ran for cover and called Garlock, who faced a grim situation.

“It’s too hot,” Warren Police Detective Wayne Mackey told the Vindicator. “The gun literally spun around because it’s going off.”

He was burned as he tried to retrieve the gun.  Handy kitchen hint: Use spot holder when trying to catch your revolver in the oven.  Those suckers run!

Thanks to Ron for the heads up.

Okay, this is the place where you can share results from last night’s run off in your state, but I get to be first.

My favored congressional candidate in my district – one that is considered flippable – Sri Preston Kulkarni won last night 2 to 1.  We are the most diverse county in the nation so Sri stands a great chance against Pete Olson in November.  I stayed too late and danced too much at his victory party last night so I am slow on the uptake this morning.

And elsewhere in Texas, Democrats have a very strong candidate to run for Blake Farenthold.  His name is Eric Holguin and he ran a great race in the run off.

And remember the Dallas Republican I told you about who freely admitted that his children would get their trust funds only if they married a white person of the opposite gender?  Well, he lost but only by 25 damn votes.

Now I want to talk about my local Republicans.  Remember how I told you that my county is the most diverse county in the nation?  Well, Republicans are dumber than sack of hammers.  Every single minority candidate on our countywide Republican Primary ballot lost – as they do every election. I could bore you with races for the past ten years where the Republicans have defeated every minority candidate on the primary ballot in my county.

The final idiocy came last night when a high qualified judicial candidate (who got appointed judge) ran for re-election on the Republican ballot.  He’s African American.  He made the run-off, but was defeated by a city council member in a small community.  And they ask why minorities don’t vote for Republicans?

Okay, so you got to hear me cheer and jeer, so what happened in your county?

State Senator Larry Taylor represents the people of Santa Fe, Texas.  He’s a Republican.

Taylor did an interview on Houston Public Radio about the Governor’s “round table” discussion group concerning gun safety. Something very telling and horribly unfortunate about Texas happened during the interview.

In the first 30 second of the interview, Taylor says, “there’s some things the Governor is working on … that he might be able to pull the trigger on before we go into session.”

Pull the trigger on?

Gun culture in Texas runneth deep and long.  There are some folks who would say, “aww, he didn’t mean nothin’ by that,” and others who say, ‘you’re just lookin’ to blame poor ole dumb Larry because he’s a Republican.”

Actually, neither. Larry isn’t even particularly dumb for a Republican. He, like so many other Texans, say “pull the trigger” instead of “git ‘er done.” And it’s always used meaning something positive, like it’s a dandy good thing to pull the trigger.

Please feel free to go listen to the first 30 seconds of the interview so you can hear it for yourself.  If you listen to more than that, I am not responsible for your subsequent mental health.

Thanks to Mark for the heads up.

Remember when we told Trump not to mess around with that Orb thing in Saudi Arabia?

But, noooooo . he wouldn’t listen to us.

Well, look what’s happening now.

But that’s not all —

It’s finding him everywhere.

Town officials posted a run-of-the-mill advisory about the sinkhole Monday morning:

“A 4′ x 4′ sinkhole has formed on Southern Boulevard directly in front of Mar-a-Lago,” the traffic alert read. “It appears to be in the vicinity of the newly installed water main.

It’s either the orb thing or Melania is trying to tunnel her way out.
