I do hope everyone had a restful summer and that you are reinvigorated and ready to get to work for November. There is much to do, both in Texas and nationally, to reverse the course of destruction upon which the current administration is set. We can all rest in December. But do not, for a moment, think that taking control of the Senate means our job is over; indeed it is just the beginning. We will blink and find ourselves in...

The History of Time… or How Conservatives Came to Be Once upon a time, millions of years ago, humans existed in small pods of nomadic hunter-gatherers.  They wandered the land following food and good weather. Until, one day, some of the women folk went out in search of something a little lighter to eat than the hairy boar that always seemed to end up in the fire at the end of the day.  Lo and behold, they discovered grapes.

A strange thing happened to me last week while in a cab. I was fighting waves of nausea as I listened to the DC drivel that was emanating from the cab’s speakers… complete garbage about that tired, yet somehow still effective, lie that Obama keeps spewing about “income equality”.

We are just weeks away from the Primary election, and only days away from the start of early voting.  By now your mailboxes are being flooded with political mailers, pieces that are designed to look like mail ballots and slate endorsements disguised as magazines or other non-political literature. Remember our mantra:  Get Informed. Get Involved. Let me add: Be discriminating. Your vote is valuable; be discriminating if you consider using someone else’s guide when you go into the voting booth.  It is well...

Welcome to 2014; new year, fresh start. However I cannot begin this year without taking a moment to express my greatest appreciation and admiration for the phenomenal work that was done over the last two years by all of the officers and chairwomen of our club. The women of Village have done an incredible job during some of the most politically trying times ever and, perhaps most importantly, have left many a lasting legacy. None more so than our immediate Past...
