Itremindsme of the Democrats infighting in the 1960s when Southern Democrats countered their Civil RightsDemocratrivals.

primary choices whether youdon’ttotallyagreewith them or not, and I still call upon that precedent to be upheld. Even Reagan had his GOP detractors, men who had linguine spines until President Trump taught them to raise their voices, and stand up straight For other Republicans, the ones closer to the center line, whoprefermorebackroom deals and less transparency Well, that small difference is the problem, andiscausingfarmerCain to clash with his brother, shepherdAbel.

Montgomery County has no doubt changed, and the demographic shift of people fleeing Democrat policies and hellhole conditions, and landing in Conroe, Magnolia, Montgomery The Woodlands, Willis, or wherever, has diluted the red GOP base with those not so committed to Reagan principles. Standards are atwhatisatstakehere,and a lessening of benchmark principles holding candidates and elected officials accountable for their actions, both politically and personally If a member of my household betrays me, and works actively against me, against my values, don’t expectmetoturntheother cheek? Because I’m not. That is what the primary system is for, to put the candidatesandissuestothe test. Voteforwhoeveryou feel upholds party principles the best, and we shouldallbacktheminthe general election. And if you chose wrong, you got two years to make the correction.

A g a i n , a n o t h e r mindboggler MontgomeryCountyvotersputinthe County Executive Committee, who are mostly MAGA, and have implemented a set of standards for those who fail to abide by the party platform Those perimeters were triggered,andactionswere taken. Thecruxisthatthe opponents to the punishmentssaythattheinformation should be given to the voters,andthosewhohave transgressed are not going tovolunteertheirsinstothe electorate. I believe the CEC is correct to make their stand. It of course is not pretty in its presentation, and it’s ugly sausage making of course, but Conservative principles needtobeupheld.

Idon’tliketowriteill about anyone right of center generally People might think so, but for me it’sabouttransparency,and keeping the Texas and Montgomery County GOP as strong and viable as possible. I liken it to the differenceintheshiftingof Greenwich Prime Meridianline,whichoverthe142 years of its history, has shiftedtotheeastsome335 feet;andthesamecouldbe said of our own political center line, except in our case the line has been shifting right over time Which for those who have remained stable in their ideology may have not moved, while the line moved past them to the right. It goes along with the old saying, ‘I didn’t leave the Democrat Party, the Democrat Party left me,’ when the center line movestotheirleft,making them Republicans today Theyareinapartythatthey may not recognize what Reagan Limbaugh and Trumpstoodfor PresidentReaganwas not one who wanted laundry aired publicly but healsowantedthepartyto come together and support

A lot of this stems from the censure of two local state representatives by the MCGOP last year for voting with Democrats for the assumption of power Theywereaskedto votewiththemajorityGOP candidate for house speaker and they chose a different path. How that does not offend all Republicansisbeyondme.

There are Consequences toActions, and to forgive and not punish even when warned of potential outcomes the realityofit,thegall,makes me wonder about systems andthereasonforthem. If a system is not in place to prevent discrepancies, according to common decency, then there needs to be changes. The actual Civil War was fought over it,andourtoughloveneeds to come into play If your kid takes your red sports for a joy ride without your permission, and brings it back all scratched up with noticeable dents, certainly some form of punishment should be the order of the day Bad kids lead to bad adults, and bad adults lead to bad policy that detracts fromConservatism.

Other issues arise from foreign policy to interactions with law enforcement Trump’s foreignpolicy,whichsome mayseeasaggressive,(and even with ICE and their arrests of detainees) but you can’t deny that The Worldisnotgrowingsafer The United States is going after entities across the planet, regimes that have norespectforinternational peace, their peoples, yet onlyfortheirelites. It’sno different than President Kennedy’spoliciesagainst Cuba and Russia in October1962,orPresident Reagan s attitude against the Soviets in the 1980s. The thought that it s impossible to enforce international law or we can’t secure our own borders, or we can’t stop drugs from coming across theseas;thoseassumptions weremadefromthosewho lacked a political will Trump has a strong political will, and it has a righteousness that backs hispolicies. Strikingdrug boats is the right thing to do, and we can see it with tons less American overdose deaths. Murder rates are at hundred year lows because the border is closedandillegalmurders, rapists, and terrorists are beingdeported.

With the primary elections starting this week, I thought I’d give a little assessment of the races in the GOP races I’mnotgonnatellyouwho to vote for because there are so many opinions out there, that one more isn’t gonna make a difference, so I’ll leave it up to you to vote for whomever you wish. FortheU.S.Senate, with Senator John Cornyn beingtheincumbent,itwill probablywindupinarunoff between Ken Paxton and John Cornyn. Paxton has been a go-getter as the Texas Attorney General, and survived his impeachment trial by the GOP Establishment, which puts him in the Impeachment ClubwithTrump. Ithinkit will resonate with a lot of voters, and Paxton has the momentum for a run-off win For U S House District 2, Dan Crenshaw, has been a noticeable disappointment to his constituents. His threat to unalive Tucker Carlson didn t sit well and controversial support to Ukraine aid over southern border security has been a thorn in his side. Steve Toth, HD 15 State Representative, whose constituencytakesinasmallpartof District2,hasbeensolidly oppositeofwhatCrenshaw represents, but the district is oddly shaped and a runoff election could be possible between C
