Honestly, when “breaking news” about Texas was announced on my TV Thursday, I half expected it to be another mass shooting.
While flooding is terrible, especially for Houston which is still recovering from a flood two years ago, it was kinda refreshing that breaking news out of Texas wasn’t about a mass shooting. This is where we are, folks.
If there’s one place in this nation where a large percentage of the population treats their guns like their babies, and even values them over the lives of children, it’s Texas.

Considering the efforts, over the past few years, of 45* And Friends to destroy the Constitution, it occurs to me that the only part of the Constitution that they believe in is the Second Amendment…
and they even got that wrong.

if not the guns, then definitely their suped-up pickup trucks. But I guess the guns weigh less, so that makes more sense. I knew guys in school (native Houstonian here) that blew every paycheck on making their cars or trucks badass, but then wondered why they couldn’t keep a girlfriend. Gee, when you blow a few hundred on an unneeded part, but won’t even spring for anything more than McDonalds as a date with your girl… yeah, helluva keeper.
Hell, my dad would go buy a gun every time he went to see my uncle. We had a hole in the front of our house because of crappy siding and his recliner was falling apart, but he’d come back home from those visits with a new gun.
I became nagging daughter and told him before he dropped a few hundred on a new gun, he’d better either get a new recliner because the spot-welding repairs weren’t holding for long, or he’d better fix the hole in front of the house before we all died of black mold. Took a while to sink in, but eventually he fixed the hole.
