I shouldn't be surprised with an eventual Dem outcome but I can be pissed. No human makes me more ill by listening to, or seeing than this one and to have more of it on a local level will be hard to take. So there is the possibility of her losing? {right}  I am skeptical of our future not only because of the history of our city but the current state of every big city in America today as they are a massive criminal cult.

That is what I still can't figure out. Why does she want that job? I would think being Congressman for another three or four terms would be more appealing. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

I don't know how the primary and general cycle works in Houston. But would SJL have to resign her seat before she runs in either the primary or general or only upon winning and taking office? | |||

I don't think she does have to resign unless she wins, but I am not sure. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

more graft, less travel "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

In congress she's one of 435 "leaders". As mayor she can be THE "leader". Maybe with the GOP taking over the house, she figured this was the only way she could get to be in charge. | |||

So if the State of Texas can take over Houston ISD, can it take over the city and county governments too? Or would that be begging to get bogged down in a morass? | |||

What's even worse than her entering the race is that she is, 'instantly seen as front-runner in packed field'.  | |||

Next we can hope for Hank Johnson to run some little, tiny town in Georgia? The IQ level of congress would jump 17 points. -------- After the game, the King and the pawn go into the same box. | |||

I think she is seeing the population turn in her safe district, if you drive through Acres Homes now you will see more and more Hispanics, Hispanic restaurants and Asian stores on West Montgomery and other streets. Not to mention that there are new town homes taking over blocks of former shot gun homes, spilling up from the Heights neighborhoods. If this continues she wont get the Hispanic or Asian votes and will have to actually cheat even more to expand the count of the remaining black votes. She likely also sees Houston voting majority Hispanic going forward and is saying its now or never for her reign and spoils gathering from HTown. She should go back to Queens NY. | |||

This sounds way too rational and well-thought out for SJL. So my next guess is a Dem. operative, representing some party big wigs, made her an offer she couldn't refuse because they want the House seat to go someone else. | |||

The House has changed drastically; Pelosi, Sheila's personal Godfather, is gone. McCarthy is SOTH, and is going on a scorched-earth mission to neuter the more corrupt Democrats. Jackson Lee likely sees the handwriting on the wall, there is no room for her. She lost most, if not all of her chairmanships on different committees, including the Black Caucus, and the House Judiciary subcommittee. As mayor, she figures to be a big fish in a smaller pond.

It is the less travel part that makes the most sense to me. She Jack is no longer young. I'm not sure there will be more graft, but maybe. Her wildly gerrymandered district is changing, but I still think she could easily win three more elections before that becomes a factor. In any case, they'll re-gerrymander it anyway because they can't loose a "black" seat coming out of Houston/Harris County. And, I suppose Oddball could be right too; being a Dem in the current house would be a lot less fun. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

 Thank the good Lord I don't live in Houston city limits!!! Still...her utter STUPIDITY would seep into my area of town. "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

Democrats for decades have controlled the major cities with an iron grip. Results are high violent crime rate, out-of-control theft, public schools that are dangerous and do not prepare students to read, write or do simple math, pot-hole streets and stupid planning. Big cities are a lost causes where a concealed carry is as important as putting on your shoes. U.S. Army 11F4P Vietnam 69-70 NRA Life Member | |||
