Calling All Independents
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

Conservatism: What does it conserve?
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 aphorisms. (According to Google: "An aphorism is a short, concise statement that expresses a general truth, wise concept, or moral principle." Aphorism #1: "If it ain't broke, don't fix

America First?
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

Healthcare: Jones vs. Steinmann
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

Jessica Steinmann and the Little Trumps
“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.

The TRUTH... according to GasBuddy.com
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

R U 4 Steinmann? Then U R 4 Trump.
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?
