Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.

Yes. Their base: Old and with comorbidities.
In other words, I have no idea why COVID-19 isn’t a three alarm fire for them.

WTG Trump regime. Keep focking around with COVID-19 and see everything else meltdown too.
Malarkey @3 AOC said he doesn’t even believe in science. So I guess the fall back is prayer, hope we get a receipt.

Criminal justice reform? Not without reincarnation. Rod deserves to come back as a poor black woman in 1950 who has shoplifted one meager can of cat food to share with a stray cat. Let him serve that sentence then get back to us. Or, maybe return as a black man suspected of anything, then Rod could shoot for his 3rd reincarnation.

Edit: FORMER NEW YORK City Mayor Mike Bloomberg has hired two state Democratic party vice chairs in Super Tuesday states with two of the top three highest number of pledged delegates.
Bloomberg hired Texas Democratic Party Vice Chair Carla Brailey as a senior adviser to his campaign in December, and he hired California State Democratic Party Vice Chair Alexandra Rooker for a similar role in January.
Both Brailey and Rooker are superdelegates who will likely vote for the Democratic presidential nominee at the party’s national convention this summer.
Hiring the leadership of a state party doesn’t appear to break any campaign laws, but it indicates Bloomberg’s intent to effectively purchase political support, said Brendan Fischer, the federal reform program director at the Campaign Legal Center.
“This does seem to fit a longstanding pattern of Bloomberg using his billions to help generate support among political elites,” he said. Read full article:

8‘Good News for Democracy’: Wisconsin Appeals Court Puts Halt on Voter Purge Targeting 200,000+ People
“A win over voter suppression is a win for the people of Wisconsin.”
Voting rights advocates applauded a Wisconsin appeals court ruling Friday which is set to stop a voter purge from going forward—sparing more than 200,000 people from having their names removed from voter lists.
A three-judge panel unanimously rejected a lawsuit filed by conservative law group Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty arguing that the voter purge of about 209,000 should go forward ahead of the 2020 election.
The decision represented “good news for democracy for all,” tweeted Mary Kay Henry, president of the SEIU.
The voter purge was put on hold last month while the 4th District Court of Appeals considered the case.
As Common Dreams reported in December, voters across Wisconsin were notified last year that their names would be removed from the rolls if they did not confirm their address with the state election commission. The state told residents the purge would not take place until 2021, spurring the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty to attempt to institute the purge before the general election in November.
More than half of the voters who were targeted for the purge lived in districts that Hillary Clinton won in 2016. President Donald Trump carried the state with fewer than 23,000 more votes than Clinton, making the purge of likely Democratic voters even more consequential.
Pro-democracy think tank Demos wrote that the “discriminatory” purge would have “disproportionately [removed] voters of color from the rolls.”
In Wisconsin, purged voters can register again later or on Election Day when they show up at the polls, assuming they have the required documentation. However, when the purge was originally approved last year, the state Democratic Party warned the move would prevent eligible voters from voting.
“A win over voter suppression is a win for the people of Wisconsin,” tweeted Democratic state Rep. David Crowley in response to Friday’s ruling.
The Wisconsin Democratic Party warned Friday that the case would likely be appealed to the state Supreme Court, and called on voters in the state to support Judge Jill Karofsky in the upcoming judicial election on April 7. Karofsky is running against Judge Dan Kelly, who has been endorsed by Trump and was appointed to the court by former Republican Gov. Scott Walker.
“When purge case is appealed State Supreme Court,” state party chair Ben Wikler tweeted, “Dan Kelly can cast tie-breaking vote to purge the voters—UNLESS, if timing works, we beat him on April 7.”
