This situation in Texas is heartbreaking. We are supposed to be prepared for these things, and still, we have so many unnecessary hardships. This is not an act of God, this is an act of greed, by the wealthy.

Why is anyone shocked by the behavior of Senator Ted Cruz? He just spent months helping the insurrectionists try to overturn an election. The GOP is a party of selfish, self-absorbed, self-entitled, immature weasels. Cruz was just following their standard operating procedures.

The outright lie that “the election was stolen” resulted in three police dead, 142 police wounded, chants of “Hang Mike Pence”, and the near collapse of our democracy. Yet Indiana Attorney General Todd Rosita just tweeted that lie. This is beyond dangerous. It’s explosive like a powder keg. It just got people killed. Our top lawyer has no business endangering lives. Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission, are you listening?

Rush Limbaugh made his living making Americans angry at Americans. For that, Trump gave him the Presidential Medal of Freedom?

With Indiana under the almost total control of the Republican party, just like in Texas, how safe are we from the same disaster happening here that is happening there?

I think that Ted Cruz will be a fine replacement for Donald Trump. He already has the lying and shirking of duty part down pat.

Poor Ted Cruz. Schedules his family vacation to Mexico on the same week that freezing weather hits Texas. He leaves his family to return to Texas during the freeze. Yet he still catches the liberal media whining because he took a vacation in the first place. You would think his name was Trump! Can do nothing right!

Senator Ted Cruz crossed the Mexican border to give his teen daughters a better life in Mexico. Republican hypocrisy at its finest!

Look at this disaster in Texas, this is why you don’t allow the Republicans to privatize everything. They want their pals to prevent governmental control so that they can skim all of the profit for themselves. But then there is no government regulation and you have a disaster like this.

Why can’t the Attorney General’s office do anything about the annoying and persistent calls from people claiming to be from the Social Security Administration? These scammers are scaring the elderly and they are probably falling for their fraud. Why do we have a no-call list if they can abuse it?

Ted Cruz is the poster child of the inept, uncaring Republican Party.

35 police officers are under investigation for the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. This is just sickening. Any law enforcement officer that would have anything to do with attacking our government needs to spend the rest of their life in prison.

Ever since we got our new president, gasoline prices go up every day. $2.69 today; $1.99 in Trump’s last days. Do we blame it on Joe and his fetish to eliminate pipelines or do we blame it on Ted Cruz and his Texas freeze? My guess is that the liberal media will blame Trump and his tax cuts!
