One of my election clerks, who also happens to be an officer in our Civic Club, was R O B B E D this morning ... in broad freakin' daylight ... at the @Walmart Supercenter on Silber Road. (con't) (2) She is shaken, but okay. The reasons she IS okay is: a) she was aware that she was being followed in the store; b) she did not attempt to stop the thug.

A report has been filed with @houstonpolice. Houston CM @AmyPeck has also been advised

@leboomleboom Are you telling me that you ~do not~ live in Houston? Funny you should suggest that I "get in the car." I just got back from driving to my daughter's house and back ... to Cypress, 24 miles R/T, to pick up her 2 dogs, both if them "rescued" from BARC. (more) ⬇️ @leboomleboom Most of the trip was spent on ~surface streets,~ not highways. Guess what? I saw only two..TWO dogs that were running loose.

I do not know about any "estimate of a few years ago; I AM aware of a report on @NPR by reporter @samraphelson. The story aired on Dec. 29, 2017. (more)

Now tell us what percentage of mail-in votes were tallied for DEMOCRAT candidates.

I'd wait, but I know that you, not anyone else at the @HoustonChron- icLiberal will report that. What, Zachary will not report is the FACTS about which party's candidates received the most mail-in (aka: Absentee) ballots.

Exhibit A, B, and C ⬇️
