The Southeast Texas Political Review
From Beaumont:
Answer: Now that is funny!
From Houston Area:
Regarding your column on Nederland employee Fred Bell, a serious cause of falling asleep at any moment is sleep apnea. Mr. Bell needs to be medically evaluated for sleep apnea. Per my husband’s Houston cardiologist, sleep apnea leads to afib (atrial fibrillation), damage to an area of the heart after the blood oxygen level drops due to periods of nonbreathing.
Mr. Bell may not be abusing substances, it’s possible he’s suffering from a serious undiagnosed medical condition that puts his life at risk as well as the lives of others (he could fall asleep while driving a vehicle).
Answer: WE LOVE OUR READERS! Great email! Passed along!
From Beaumont:
It seems what you said a year or so ago about the Republican women being on track to destroy the Republican party in Jefferson County has, sadly, proven to be correct. Where was Bryan Markland this entire election cycle? Where was the ground game that Joe Evans was so good at running? They made sure to run off Platts and Getz for petty reasons, Jefferson County returned to blue, and now we’re all left to pay the price. God help us…..it’s gonna be rough the next couple of years. Keep up the good work!
Answer: We deserve it. Ouch! We have never ever been this bad in our picks! NEVER. As for the ladies in the GOP? Looking at the numbers. They are not a big tent operation. NOT. Hung their horns on Paxton. You get what you buy as they say .
From Port Arthur:
I’m an avid reader of your website. I almost always agree with your takes as I’m one of the people who moved out of Beaumont because of poor political leadership.
The reason Beaumont is in the mess they are in is because people vote for who they like instead of the candidate’s policy and philosophy.
There is a sign in my neighborhood that says “Republicans who stay home elect democrats “.
I won’t argue that Paxton is a nice, likable guy. Yes, he is a womanizer. However, his policy is solid and we need someone in DC fighting against open borders and other socialist ideals. Talarico is a fraud and he is a far leftist. You and others in your office will get him elected by sitting out because you don’t like Paxton personally.
As said above, that’s how Beaumont and Jefferson County got the way it did. Electing people they like who end up leaving a trail of destruction.
Answer: Great EMAIL! Love it! Here is my thought! There is not one of us that likes Paxton as we have worked with him for 10 years with our sister company. He is, his staff is, and they are as a goup horrible. As well, they are lazy government workers. But we all voted for him after his boy went to the nut house for three weeks. And yes, it is true, he lied, screwed around with Nate Paul and the fast life. That part is SO TRUE! But man, we don’t have anyone better. It is like sending a kid into a free candy store with Paxton. He will get in trouble fast. You watch. Thank you for your great email!
From Nederland:
I thought that the City of Nederaland was done with bonds. Now the city is short on money and so is the school district? You were right again Kline! They did just what you said they would do!
Answer: The problem is they are so readable. They are killing our community just like Port Arthur.
From East Texas:
Your office is not voting for the Senate position cuz they lapped at Drunk Dade’s feet? They are willing to let a wacko get into office to represent us? Tell me you’re an idiot without saying it out loud!!!!!
Answer: Everyone listen up – school is in. This is why Ken Paxton is representing the GOP. Far right doodles still have a feather up their ass regarding Dade Phelan and David Covey. This is why Covey did not win. People like this nice person (Lady) that feels if you don’t go her way, you are the enemy. Sweet, watch our predictions on Saturday. Put down the drink until then.
From Beaumont:
They sure have the long knives out for the new Supt! People just don’t like accountability!
Answer: Hold onto your asses! Wait until spring when they refuse to graduate Sr.’s from BISD that have not met the state requirements. They will not allow them to walk or get a dipoloma whatsoever. The BLACK community will come unglued. And there will be screaming of racial unfairness and blah blah. It is going to be crazy!
From Port Arthur:
Here’s a number 14 to possibly add to your windmill scam project list of boo-boos: There are numerous prehistoric archeological sites all around the Sabine Lake area. I’m not sure if any are on Pleasure Island, but sometimes an undocumented midden is found by a construction project.
Answer: Interesting!
