They better reopen the government.

Are you serious ? LOL.

I had no idea he was Ray Miller's son either.

In case you've been living under a rock during the Christmas holiday break, TX Governor Greg Abbott (R), in a scathing tweet on Twitter, put Houston ISD's failed leadership on full-blast. He also slammed the district's leaders for "self-centered ineptitude" & rallied for the State on taking over the school district's Board of Trustees. I believe that Abbott's right on this one for obvious reasons: the recent ugly racially-polarized battle over the demotion of Houston ISD Interim Superintendent Dr. Grenita Latham in favor of former Houston ISD Superintendent Abe Saavedra from a few months ago(who recently left San Antonio ISD & refused to return to his old job in Houston due to the backlash) which spiraled out of control following racial divisions between the African American & Latino Houston ISD School Board members: later the Board of Trustees voted to keep Latham as the Interim Superintendent. State Senator Paul Bettencourt (R-Houston) is pushing legislation which could eliminate single-member district in favor of At-Large Districts including other measures. Like to know your thoughts on Abbott calling out Houston ISD & calling for statewide takeover of the State's largest school district ? https://www.texastribune.org/2019/01/03/texas-gov-greg-abbott-take-over-houston-isd/ https://abc13.com/education/gov-abbott-says-houston-isd-leadership-is-a-disaster/5011215/ A.)

I see that Fred Davis has left the Midday Show with John Lopez & Landry Locker on Sports Radio 610 KILT-AM Houston.... he's heading into the energy industry.

WOW! This is bad & how damaging was this to the Houston Chronicle ?

Sad news for anybody, who watched NBC 2 KPRC-TV Houston over the years. Former NBC 2 KPRC-TV Houston Weatherman Doug Johnson, passed away on Thursday night at the age of 79. Johnson joined NBC 2 in 1962 & stayed until his retirement in 1992. He was also the co-host for "The Scene at 5" with the late Ron Stone. In case you have been living under rocks, Johnson was bitten by Wilma the Weather Chicken LOL. http://www.click2houston.com/news/doug-johnson-longtime-kprc2-weatherman-dies-at-79 http://mikemcguff.blogspot.com/2019/01/doug-johnson-of-kprc-has-died.html Give your thoughts on Johnson's passing & his long career with NBC 2.

Good Morning ChannelTwoNews: what happened to your YouTube Channel because I went on YouTube to look at some of the Ch. 13 videos & noticed your channel is gone. What happened ?

POTUS Trump will get reelected in 2020.

Former Ch. 13 KTRK-TVHouston Eyewitness News Weekend Anchor Natasha Barrett is now working for the City of Baytown as the Strategic Communications Manager according to Mike McGuff of mikemcguff.com: http://mikemcguff.blogspot.com/2018/11/natasha-barrett-joins-city-of-baytown.html?m=1

In 2015, Houstonians voted to extend the terms of the Mayor, City Controller & City Council to 4-year terms.

I'm staunchly opposed to term limits.

Unless anybody has been living under rocks, the 2019 campaign for Houston, TX Mayor just got kick-started..... Prominent Houston attorney Tony Buzbee has announced his candidacy for the Bayou City's top job. Buzbee was also the legal counsel for then-TX Governor (now US Energy Secretary) Rick Perry in 2014 after Perry was indicted on 2 felony counts. In 2009, Buzbee won the largest jury verdict against BP in history. He is a graduate of Texas A&M University: where he was a member of the Texas A&M University Corps of Cadets (where he served as Battalion Commander) & was named Distinguished Naval Graduate, Distinguished Student, Outstanding NROTC Senior & Outstanding Commander in the Corps of Cadets. Following graduating from TAMU, Buzbee served as Marine Corps infantry officer in the Persian Gulf & Somalia. He commanded the Recon Company of the First Marine Regiment, awarded the Naval Commendation Medal & was promoted to the rank of Captain. https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2018/11/07/mayor-turner-tony-buzbee-sound-off-on-houstons.html https://abc13.com/politics/prominent-attorney-tony-buzbee-to-run-for-mayor-of-houston/4603317/ https://www.texastribune.org/2018/10/31/prominent-attorney-tony-buzbee-says-hes-running-houston-mayor/ Besides Buzbee & Houston, TX Mayor Sylvester Turner (D), who's seeking reelection., there's also the possibility of former Kemah, TX Mayor Bill King (R) seeking a rematch against Turner. Any thoughts on Buzbee running for Houston Mayor & how do you think he'll do ?

Looks like the Ch. 13 Eyewitness News 10:00 PM Newscast has gotten a little lighter in the load.... After 5 years doing the 10:00 PM Newscast, Carson decided to cut back on her heavy schedule.... Now according to Mike McGuff of mikemcguff.com., he's been getting viewer emails & tips that Carson had left the 10:00 PM Newscast & found out Carson had posted this back in early September. However, you'll still get to see Carson on the 4:00 PM & 6:30 PM Newscasts though. http://mikemcguff.blogspot.com/2018/11/why-ilona-carson-is-no-longer-on-10pm.html https://www.facebook.com/ABC13IlonaCarson/posts/19161403405088954 Thoughts on this move ?
