Merry Christmas From All Of US!
We will post on Friday morning. Blessings and Prayers to all of you out there, and Merry Christmas!
Buh Bye!
And the Trump administration did something that many of us saw coming a while back – and he pulled the trigger last Friday, to LITTLE OR NO PRESS COVERAGE!
The windmill farm project in Port Arthur is dead.
Meaning?
Well, the big windmill farm that this group of folks in Port Arthur had put together is officially not going to happen. The project will not be funded or even eligible to be funded for the next four years. And the bird people and the environmentalists are not saying a word. Why? Well, there is nothing to say.
Late Friday afternoon the memorandum came out saying they would not be funding any more Windmill Plants, and the money set aside will go back into general funds.
Now, many of you are asking yourself – Why did we not hear about this? Because the biggest project in the history of Port Arthur, other than the Pleasure Island fiasco, will get no government funds, and the people who get and give money now know they will get no return on their investments.
Here is one report out of DC:
Dec 22 (Reuters) – The Trump administration suspended leases on Monday for five large offshore wind projects that are under construction off the U.S. East Coast over what it called national security concerns, sending shares of offshore wind companies plunging. The suspension was the latest blow for offshore wind developers that have faced repeated disruptions to their multi-billion-dollar projects under U.S. President Donald Trump, who has said he finds wind turbines ugly, costly, and inefficient. State officials, Democratic lawmakers, offshore wind companies, and industry trade groups slammed the move as unjustified.
What does this mean to the money wasted by the Port Arthur City Council? Nothing. Just more wasted money. Remember, it is not your money, it is the city council’s money. And that fancy buggy they say is being used for the not-happening project? NADA. Watch for that to disappear. Here is that picture:
So the birds will chirp, the whales and big fish shall live, and most of all, another huge scam is over for a few years.
Oh, ya, and another huge scam is now over. We are wondering when UNCLE HILTY will show up, screaming about the environment? You know, screw the birds, fish, and animals, but save the earth from oil? The same oil companies that gave him millions.
Giggle.
Merry Christmas?

Now, for the fun! What are you getting for Christmas?
The Review has learned that due to a shortage of Mail Carriers and employees, your presents might not make it on time. Due to what? In fact, a local from Nederland, Texas, sent us this nice photo from today:
And you thought we were kidding? Literally throwing the boxes on the ground?
Maybe it is time for TRUMP to take this monkey on? It will be big, but it is needed!

So here we go!
Say hello to Mr. Joey Hillard. He beat Mike Getz in the general election by coming up with ideas not on how to help the city, but on how bad Getz is. He is the bastard child of the Fire Department Union—and frankly, kind of a trick pony. He is not willing to listen and simply doesn’t know what he is doing running the government. He has some dope known as Dillon Richardson telling him what to do and not to do. When did we elect Dillon Richardson?
Meet Joe Evans, who just lost his seat on the board of Trustees at the Beaumont ISD. He is (or was) the former Jefferson County Republican Chairman. Anyone in politics loves Joe Evans. He dropped out because he wants to be a judge. And he will be a good one if elected. We chose Joe because he is pretty good at riding the political wave. But, he has the Scarlett letter on him in the BISD takeover. Good boy, meet bad boy?
Jeff Darby, the new mayor of Nederland! He came in with the idea of the DOJ, but ended in anger with many in the community. Not about his ideas, but as a sales gig for coming across in a different way they the citizens were used to. Talk about pissing people off, and being a Gadfly, that is Jeff Darby! If you know him, you like him; if you don’t, then you don’t. The jury is still way out.
Mike Williams. What can you say about him? He tried being the nice guy. He blew it. He tried being a statesman. He blew it. He tried being a leader on the city council. He blew it. Is he a bad guy? No. Is he a good guy? No. Is he really trying to do something – okay, yes. But he is a part of the two blind mice with Hillard that have fractionalized the city council. In fact, many are saying that he and Hillard are worse than 10 Mike Getz’s. The black community is going to target him. You watch. He needs to sit down, shut up, read the manuals, apply the manuals, and feed off the anger of the public, not feed the anger to the public (think about what we just said there). He, too, is the perfect candidate to be a Gadfly.
So there you go – pick your guy. We will keep this up for a week. Then we will announce on the weekend of the 27th.
