You may think George Soros is really digging deep into his pockets to cause the former Trump officials who knew him best to seemingly press the panic button and speak out against their former “boss.” It is well known that if you cross “da’ boss” you will be subject to enough bad words, threats, scowls, and slurs to put the worst 6th grade school yard bully to shame. 04/03/2024 00:00

SERIOUS GUADALUPE RIVER DAMAGE BY DEVELOPER ALMOST UNNOTICED BY MEDIA
SERIOUS GUADALUPE RIVER DAMAGE BY DEVELOPER ALMOST UNNOTICED BY MEDIA
Apparently about several tracts totalling around 400 acres were purchased on Hwy. 1340 across the road from Camp Stewart, by an out of town developer and were being cleared, trees burned and roads built including down into the Guadalupe River. Ron Duke, of the Kerr County Water Alliance (KCWA-contact page on website), reported this major river and land violation to me and others on March 21st. This is a new citizen's group formed to observe and protect our county's water resources. As you know, groundwater (aquifers) and the river comprise the bulk of our Kerr County water supplies and they are connected - groundwater produces the springs, which in turn produce most area creek and river flows. 04/03/2024 00:00

While doing my early morning rituals recently I came across an article telling stories about wasps. Anyone who was raised here in this part of the Texas hill country will have numerous tales to tell on the subject. 03/27/2024 00:00

Donald Trump terrified our founders
In 1787, the year our founders signed the U.S. Constitution — Thomas Jefferson wrote a letter to Alexander Hamilton about his fears of an autocratic dictator in America: “If once elected, and at a second or third election outvoted by one or two votes, he will pretend false values, foul play, hold possession of the reins of government, be supported by the States voting for him…” https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/02/20/founding-fathers-demagogues-civic-virtue/. 03/20/2024 05:00    1

What do you think about the most? What gets most of your attention? A rodeo cowboy, especially on the roughstock side of the arena, is always thinking about his sport. Where he's going to enter, what went wrong or right the weekend before. How he's going to get his fees paid this week. Visualizing bull or bronc ride after bronc ride. 03/20/2024 05:00

We humans love our heroes and villains. From our entertainment to our religions to our politics, one would be hard-pressed to find a part of our lives that didn’t include the drama of Good versus Evil. 03/13/2024 00:00
HOW MANY IS ONE TOO MANY?
HOW MANY IS ONE TOO MANY?
There are four political party “Committees” in Texas: Democrat, Republican, Independent, and Green. Other Political Action Committees (PACs) can be established for general or specific purposes. Texas Government Code Chapter 251 and the Texas Ethics Commission “Campaign Finance Guide for Committees” are the primary governing documents for PAC administration. For example, the Bandera County Republican Women’s Club (BCRW) PAC was established in December 2003. It is registered and visible on the Attorney General’s website. The Bandera County Republican Party (BCRP) website identifies its goals, mission, and vision: https://www.banderacountyrepublicanparty.com/about. The BCRW and BCRP have worked closely together for years toward shared goals. 03/06/2024 00:00
