    Well it's not like they are going to work on important shit like education funding, tax revenue, etc. - it's going to be a whole session of PATRIOTISM, protecting Texas from THE EBIL SOCIALST TAKEOVER BY JOE BIDEN, putting their boots on the neck of the cities for daring to go against Greg Abbott and ELECTION INTEGRITY, led by Briscoe Cain. 

    Someone tell Briscoe Cain to stand up.

  2. Last GE we bought didn’t last too long.  Bought it in 2008 and had nothing but problems ... door water dispenser would freeze up; freezer coils would ice up because defrosting elements burned out; condenser fan burned out.

    Going on 8 years with a Kitchen Aide we purchased from Oliver Dyers in Ft Worth.  Salesman sold it to us at 5% above cost because the lady that ordered it didn’t like the style of the diamond-cut door handles.  Best fridge we’ve owned since the top freezer Kenmore we bought new in 1976.  Moved it into the garage as a beer fridge in 2000.  Finally died in summer of 2005 after my youngest graduated high school.

    My uncle was one of those living skeletons the Marines found in Tokyo.  His carrier based bomber was kamikazied out of the sky off Iwo Jima.  He survived bailing out into the ocean only to be picked up by the enemy.  He survived torture, beri beri, malnutrition.  He saw the beheading of randomly selected fellow prisoners, American officers.  He returned to Japan after the war to testify on behalf of guards who were kind to prisoners.  He was one of the coolest, smartest people I ever knew.   I had the honor of attending his inurnment at Arlington a few years ago.  Donald Trump is not worthy of speaking his name.

    My father was a member of the 1st Defense Battalion on Wake Island.  Captured Dec 22, 1941 and spent the duration in POW camps in China and mainland Japan where he worked as forced labor in the coal mines of Hokkaido.  I’m damn lucky to be here.
