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.
‘This Is Unbelievable’: Citing Need for GOP Input, Pelosi Yanks Remote Voting Rule at Last Minute
“Forgive me for asking, but who won control of the US House in the 2018 election?”
Edit: Progressive frustration with Democratic leadership continued to mount this week after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday tabled a rules change that would have allowed members to use proxy voting to legislate during the coronavirus pandemic.
Pelosi indicated that the House would take the matter up when it reconvenes on May 4 after Republicans, the minority party in the House, objected to the change.
“This is unbelievable,” tweeted Lindsey Boylan, a candidate for Congress in New York’s 10th District, running against incumbent Rep. Jerry Nadler in the Democratic primary.

Yes, why don’t you announce a bipartisan commission to study the issue of remote voting instead of saving lives?! This has got to be one of the most irresponsible & ridiculous things I’ve heard recently. Get your head out of your ass! This is unbelievable.

The creation of a biparitsan committee to look into the matter did not fill The Week’s Ryan Cooper with confidence, who said it was “where legislation goes to die.”

U.S. food banks run short on staples as hunger soars
Edit: (Reuters) – It’s pitch black in El Paso, Texas, when the minivans and pickups start lining up at 4 a.m., snaking for more than a mile down the desert roadway leading to the city’s largest food bank.
When rations are finally distributed five hours later, many boxes are filled with too many castoff beefsteak tomatoes but no pasta. Nor is there any rice, beans or other dry or canned goods.
“We really have no dry goods,” said Bonnie Escobar, chief development officer of El Pasoans Fighting Hunger.
Food banks nationwide are squeezed between short supplies and surging demand from needy families as the coronavirus pandemic has put more than 26 million Americans out of work. In New York City, the mayor appointed a food czar as lines of masked people form outside overstretched charities. More than a third of the city’s food banks have closed for lack of supplies, donations or volunteers, who are harder to recruit because of infection fears, according to the New York Mission Society. In San Diego, a local food bank waits on a $1 million order it placed weeks ago. Chicago and Houston food banks say they are nearly out of staples.
Before the pandemic, 1 in 7 Americans relied on food banks, according to Feeding America, a national network of the charities. Now, demand has doubled or tripled at many organizations, U.S. food bank operators told Reuters.
