I'm tired of Texas Democrats who fled the state to keep from doing the job they were elected to do being treated like heroes. They willfully walked off their job because they don't agree with the voting bill that was to come up for a vote.
Accusing President-elect Donald Trump of treason, former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told the public he was colluding with Russia. But behind closed doors, and under oath, each testified they had no collusion evidence.
The last thing Texans need is a lecture from Republicans on family values.
Fifty-one cowardly liberals slunk off to Washington on July 12. They're hiding behind the skirts of their liberal masters, rather than stay and represent their constituents. They elected to forego their duties.
In response to the editorial by Michael A. Smith ("Dems' flight over voting bills also political theater," The Daily News, July 17-18): Congratulations, and thank you for what I think was a very objective and straightforward approach to the voting bills issue. While I'm not sure we want to d…
Several people report they know individuals who tested positive for COVID, even though they were fully vaccinated. Reports like this constitute anecdotal data. However, COVID cases are up 97 percent. Texas is one of 34 states where COVID cases have risen over 50 percent.
Wow! I went on a fantastic trip to Austin’s Capitol to protest voter suppression. My first protest at the Capitol was when I was 17 years old, but this gathering by far, 53 years later, represents current critical theories in Texas history. Today, we were many different people. We come from …
The scene is familiar to us now. People in the streets waving U.S. flags and protesting a socialist government that promised equality and prosperity but failed to deliver either.
Recent weeks have been filled with discussions of adding city marshals to answer complaints at short-term rentals at a cost of about $2 million annually. The city is considering the cost could be paid by annual fees on the owners of short-term rentals.
Thank you for publishing the guest editorial from The Austin American-Statesman editorial board ("The American-Statesman on Dan Patrick censoring debate," The Daily News, July 15).
At 6 p.m. July 12, I was coming home after visiting a friend who lives off Avenue S. There was a golf cart full of people coming east with a line of cars behind it with no way to pass.
On July 9, I attended the Galveston Symphony Youth Orchestra Camp concert and was amazed and impressed with the quality of the music. Congratulations to camp Director Edward Salinas and all the participants for a job very well done.
Currently, the behavior of Gov. Greg Abbott and Texas Republicans mimic the injustices of Trump and Congress regarding voter suppression. Texas' attempts to reduce minority voting via suppression are blatant and ignore some basic principles of our democracy — “establish justice, ensure domes…
While Democrats constantly talk about democracy, all they do is run from it. The latest example being Democrats leaving the state so a vote can’t be held on election integrity. Just six months ago, I thought unarmed, middle-aged men and grandmas mostly taking selfies almost ended democracy —…
I'm vaccinated. My friends and family are vaccinated. I feel comfortable going out and doing my business without having to wear a mask.
By inviting the construction of affordable housing in Galveston, this editorial page wishes to create a political process rather than a market-based business process. Shouldn’t The Daily News be asking why local taxpayers should subsidize the wages of local workers when Galveston businesses,…
Thank you Judge Mark Henry, Commissioners Darrell Apffel, Joe Giusti and Ken Clark for your vote to help with the wall and supporting the flow of illegal immigrants into our state ("Commissioners uphold judge's immigration disaster order," The Daily News, July 3).
It seems that some of our Texas legislators don't value our votes very highly. When the comprehensive voting bill, Senate Bill 1, was being negotiated during the last hours of the regular session, a whole new section was added to make it easier to contest an election.
The Galveston City Council has revised City Ordinance No. 21 in response to residents' complaints about the traffic and safety issues raised regarding the proliferation of golf carts on the seawall. The current ordinance prohibits golf carts from roads with speeds greater than 35 mph and Ave…
It's my opinion that all our political shortcomings at every level, be it consumer prices, inflation, immigration, health care, national debt, education or simply taxation in general, all stem from the income tax and central banking.
