BBBBBEWLLOOWWS
Ya know, we kind of like David Bellows. When David ran for office, he put his all into it. When the AG told David that he could not run for district attorney, he did anyway and was thrown off the Ballot because he was not a lawyer. When David got busted for putting a tracking device on his ex-wife’s car and became a stalker, he was found guilty, and he boasted that he had never been convicted of anything before he was adjudicated. And we all got a pretty good laugh over it all; however, everyone underestimated him. He came after everyone and is again today.
Now his target, again, like a broken record, is Mo Molfino, once again. Bellow has endorsed Judge Chesson once again, but not everyone in the Chesson camp is happy about this, and they are letting the public know. Chesson is not accepting Bellows’ endorsement. So, Bellow is taking to the airwaves again to talk about Molfino. And most of us yawn as the first thought is why would a Hardin County peckerwood want to get into the middle of a Jefferson County political fight? Who knows, our response – it is David Bellow.
The joke going around Southeast Texas is that Bellows is the love child (yuck) of Rhonda Dugas! Yuck again.
So, here is what he wrote this week that has everyone wondering again what is going on:
So now we all scratch our heads. Molfino did not lose any lawsuit; he got TCPA’ed. Meaning the judge did not think the original petition met the standards to move the case forward. And that is okay – it is called fairness. But to suggest that Bellow won the merits of the suit is simply silly – but okay.
If we had five minutes to sit David down, and after looking around on his Facebook, he is (don’t faint) doing good work with dogs. Don’t laugh, he is making a difference in dog abuse. And we are not kidding. We think he may have found his cause. He can never run for political office again, but he can form a non-profit and create a huge need in East Texas for a dog center for abused and lost dogs. Friends, after what we read, he might be a true leader in Texas on that gig – and we are not kidding.
Will he ever let the anger at Molfino go? No, and it blurs his vision a little. Or maybe a lot, and gets himself into trouble.
Here is our deal here at the Review. If Bellows opens a non-profit for dogs, we are in for a big bill, which means $1,000 to the David Bellows Foundation for dogs. And we are not kidding, as we are dog lovers around her. Meet MIA, the dog who hangs out with us!
Pretty damn cute, huh! Mia has volunteered to help at the Bellow camp! And we say goodbye!
Our point? Bellow stop, go home, and we are not kidding. After reading some of your stuff on dogs, you really do have a future. And again, we are not kidding.
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!
