Here's a fact for your consideration: Our Sam Houston National Forest encompasses 163,000 acres. That impressive number made me curious, so I asked Claude AI what percentage of this forest lies within Texas Congressional District 8. Referencing the 2021 map, Claude guessed that 85 to 95 percent of this forest is inside the district's borders; but even the 2026 GERRYMANDERED map shows that District 8 still contains a huge portion of this tremendous wooded area. Well, tha

I have a theory that I'd like to share with you. For starters, consider this question that I asked Mr. Google: "Was the oil and gas industry the largest contributor to the campaign funding of former US Congressman Kevin Brady?" (For those who are new here: Kevin Brady was District 8's Congressional Representative prior to the election of Morgan Luttrell.) Here's the AI overview that Google returned: >> Yes, the oil and gas industry was the largest contributor to the career ca

Want to have some fun? The kind of fun that requires a big bowl of popcorn? Well, in the next few days, let's keep an eye on Jessica Steinmann, as she tries to rationalize and excuse Trump's outrageous response to the recent, BI-PARTISAN passage of the Housing Act. In case you're unfamiliar with this thing, here's the situation: Over the last several months, Republicans and Democrats actually worked together to write and pass a bill that would reduce the cost of housing in th

John J. Cafaro - Trump Donor and recipient of a no-bid contract Two women are running against each other in the upcoming November election. They both want to represent Texas Congressional District 8 in the US House of Representatives. Laura Jones has not sworn allegiance to ANYONE, and this includes anyone in the Democratic Party. Rival Jessica Steinmann has totally aligned herself with a senile, degenerate nut who lives in the White House. Her beloved Trump campaigned on a "

Guess what?! I can predict the future! Oh, it's not a special gift that I have. YOU can predict the future, too. (Just follow the money.) So, here is my prediction: IF Jessica Steinmann were elected to represent the 8th Congressional District, she would NEVER support legislation that oil executives dislike. You could make a safe bet on that. She would ALWAYS vote the way Big Oil tells her to vote. "Well..." you might ask: "What about bills to support solar power and elec

I know, I know: Republican supporters of Jessica Steinmann will howl when they see the title of this blog post. "How could you say such a thing?" they will ask. "Jessica luuuuuvvvs farmers. She loves our entire rural community!" Well, I understand how these people might be confused because Lawyer Steinmann also says that she luuuuuvvvs Trump... and Trump has done three very bad things for the farmers in Congressional District 8: 1. He chased away foreign customers for agricu

George Santos - ex-Republican Congressman Recently, US Congressmen Greg Landsman and Josh Riley introduced a comprehensive anti-corruption bill. (They're both Democrats, by the way.) As soon as I read the specifics of their proposed "Drain the Swamp Act", I sent an email to Laura, asking what she thought about it. She sent back a four-word reply: "I support this legislation!" That's what I thought she would say, and I'm happy that my hunch was confirmed. Now I'm reaching ou

IF Jessica Steinmann were elected, how would she vote? Our best predictor is to ask how Morgan Luttrell HAS voted. Like Laura Jones, Steinmann seeks to replace him as District 8's Representative to Congress. Let's take the "One Big Beautiful Bill", for example. Luttrell voted FOR it. Now remember: Luttrell is a veteran; he never misses a chance to tell us about his veteran-friendly political agenda. OK! So did the "OBBB" help veterans? When I asked Mr. Google, here's the answ

I understand the Democrats. They HATE his guts. I understand the Republicans. They LOVE his guts. But... the people who fascinate me the most are Independents, and especially the ones who voted for Trump. So... what does it mean to declare yourself NOT as a Republican, and NOT as a Democrat, but rather as an INDEPENDENT, meaning that you're not loyal to EITHER party. First and foremost: You want to see what kind of deal they're offering, and you don't want to be taken for gra

Conservative?... Not really. Lawyer Jessica likes to claim that she's a "Texas Tough Conservative", but... what does that mean, exactly? As an old English Major, I think it's fair to say that a conservative is someone who wants to conserve. To capture the essence of that word, let me offer two sayings you may have heard before. Aphorism #1: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Aphorism #2: "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water." These two sentences are at the heart of t

If you're a Republican voter, you probably like the phrase "America First". It sounds strong and tough -- like we're gonna take care of business right here at home before we traipse around the world, handing out money to people who don't need the support, and who probably don't even like us all that much. Well, recently I started to think about it: What does "America First" mean, exactly? It must mean something because Jessica Steinmann uses the term many, many times in her s

Laura Jones Laura Jones has a position on healthcare, and I can state it for you in a single sentence: She supports "Medicare for All", and will vote FOR it... if you give her the chance. And what about her political opponent, Lawyer Jessica Steinmann? What does SHE have to say about the affordability of healthcare in our country? Well, here is a direct quote from her website page, entitled "On the Issues": "" That is not a typo; that is literally what she has to say about he

“We have little Trumps everywhere: In television studios. In green rooms. In appointed and elected positions. They share the same traits: Certainty without knowledge. Confidence without competence. Grievance without responsibility.” Steve Schmidt Former Republican strategist Director of John McCain’s presidential campaign ———————————————— Jessica Steinmann wants to become the next US Representative from Texas Congressional District 8. Several months ago, she released this Yo

In her press release of March 3rd, 2026, Jessica Steinmann thanked Donald Trump for helping to bring about "lower gas prices". And here we see the truth, compliments of the data collection firm GasBuddy.com . From mid-August 2024 to mid-September 2025, gas prices showed little volatility. A little up some of the time, a little down some of the time, but altogether, not a lot of movement. From the end of August 2025 to the first week in January 2026, we saw a drop of about 40

OK! So here we are: Steinmann vs. Jones. And now the ball is in your court, Citizens of District 8. YOU'RE the ones who will have to decide, and -- fortunately for you -- the profiles of these two candidates could not be more distinct. Oh, sure: They're both patriotic Americans, both proud Texans, etc., etc., blah, blah, blah. No, those aren't the differences. I'm talkin' VALUES here, as in: What will the winner do when she gets to Washington? What will she ACTUALLY support?

I’ve hesitated to discuss my suspicions in public, but have decided to go ahead and make this statement: I think Laura’s opponent in this year's Democratic Primary is a Republican plant. Yes, you read that correctly. As I’m sure you already know, Texas citizens in the 8 th Congressional District will be voting for someone to replace Morgan Lutrell, a Republican Do-Nothing who is stepping down as our current representative in the House. Keith Coleman wants to be the Democrati
