Late Again
Like we said last week. It is about the person who is offering themselves for the seat. And again, the Jefferson County Republicans are left scratching their heads!
The next round of financial support reports, DUE BY LAW, was to be filed yesterday. And we are happy yet sad to report that once again, one candidate did not file their paperwork on time, and sure enough, it is a guy who wants to be the next republican chairman.
According to the reports from the state, the candidate for Jefferson County Republican Chairman, Bryan Markland, did not file his candidate report as prescribed by law. And this has sent the party into an angry rage, according to three Pct. chairs we visited with. This is the second time.
“Are we really going to have a chairman who cannot even file a report on time? Something as simple as submitting it to the county and uploading takes 10 minutes. Now you have to ask yourself if he cannot file right, then how can he run the party?” said our source.
This is from a Jefferson County Republican woman: “I didn’t like the guy. He seems like a political fish out of water. My vote has to go to the other guy. He seems to be on it and knows what he is talking about. I saw him speak at our lunch the other day, and he was wonderful!”
Folks, once is a mistake for us. We give everyone one. However, twice is now a pattern that can be fixed, but it may be a strong indication that things are not as they should be. Meaning? This is not going well.
Looks like he will not have a chance to win for us? But who are we?
FLOCK IT!
We started getting calls about these “new” polls setting up all over Southeast Texas. And a nice caller sent us a picture:

What is this? It is called FLOCK! It is one of the newest systems to be able (hold your breath) to track YOU! The unit takes a picture of every license plate that comes or goes from any business, any major roadway, any street, or even a traffic accident. Boom? Big brother is watching!
So what does this mean for you? Well, if you get into a situation, your license plate is registered, and they (the police and licensed investigators) can track you wherever you go!
Now, why do you ask? Simple, it is a crime-fighting tool and a tracking tool in case your car gets stolen! Or a kidnapper has your child or family member.
So, welcome you, kids from the 60’s. Now, big brother is really watching you. And we mean really watching you.
An Early Look At What We Think
Ola, and sorry we are late this afternoon. Working on some special projects this month before the General Primaries.
So, let’s have a little fun on some of the races of interest – or not.
Democrats Jefferson County
Well, since most of the democrats have been run out of Jefferson County, we thought we would give you a little smell of some of the races if you are a donkey.
Wait, newsflash, NO MORE KINGS ARE COMING AGAIN!!! This should be interesting. Ya, we are tired of the same old thing again. BE MORE CREATIVE!
Anyway, let’s go!
US Senator: Many say Jasmine, the candidate who drew 6 people to her fundraiser in Southeast, Texas, will win! We are not so sure, kids. And we guess so. She will be the easy beat. Maybe a runoff? The other two are nothing.
District 14: Another freak of nature is running. Thurman Bartee. And with that, Thurman will lose or go to a runoff.
Frankly, we really don’t see anyone of any other race in the news. A bunch of unknowns, and we don’t poll unknowns.
Republicans in Jefferson County
JP 4: Ya, okay, Sluggfest 2 is going to be different from Sluggfest 1. Seems that Molfino may just win this one. The affairs, truency, and the poor little girl that got questioned by the judge and a LEO while she was being molested, only to learn that in fact, she was molested, and the Grandfather admitted it (remember Grandpa was friends with the judge and talked him into berating her so she wouldn’t tell), and will be sentenced AFTER the it is all over, again you cannot make it up. If Chesson can overcome that, we will call that area a cult.
County Chairman: Anyone, please tell us here at the Review how Markland can beat Platt for the chairmanship. He could not EVEN FILE HIS REPORT ON TIME! And he wants to be the watchdog? Ugh. If the vote were today, Platt would win 60/40. Four weeks is a long way for these guys. Let’s just watch for a week or two.
As for all of the Pct. chairman elections? Just baby momma drama. Don’t mind these guys. Remnants of two years ago in the Dade Phelan gig. Ignore it.
That is where we think it is today. Let’s watch it get heated up later in the month!
