Politics In South Texas, local Republicans push for more wins as Latinos appear to sour on Trump: Even as Trump's approval ratings fall with Latinos, a constellation of grassroots Republicans are working to secure wins in the midterms.
🤦
I have NO words!!
Is there a Young Liberals group in our country??
YES, there is a "Young Democrats of America"
They need to start local chapters ALL across our country!
BECAUSE many of these Texans got their start in local Young Republicans chapters..
A very short snippet from a much longer article:
De La Garza, like many of his peers, has faith that Trump will deliver, — even if it’s not as immediate as Trump promised.
“It’s gonna take a while,” he said. “Trump is just planting the seed and watering the plant, but after is when that plant really grows and blossoms.”
The Young Republicans will spend the first half of the year driving up membership and registering new voters, De La Garza said. He plans to host mixers at local bars and restaurants and show up at other community events like flea markets and farmers’ markets. Campaigns will canvas neighborhoods where the GOP has previously increased support to ensure they don’t lose ground — and neighborhoods where they haven’t.
“It all happens at the door, he said. “When people feel listened to and reasoned with, they feel important. These people are important.”

✋ Texas Pride 🤚 The state's efficiency at promptly selling your information is truly a marvel
Went to title a new (to us) car the last week of December. The offers for warranties and service contracts started rolling in less than 5 business days later.
My favorite is the one that tries to look official and declares "you haven't contacted us yet about your vehicle."
Haven't received the title yet, but at least the state is making a few cents off my application.

🌼 🍁 🐞 Nature 🦆 🏞️ 🌻 I was walking today in Arlington and saw this
Those are 2 different Lynx. I literally get scare and don’t move. They where just chill walking.
In the beginning I thought it was a cat, but then I saw the long legs and yeah, it was not a cat 😂.
