Incumbent Gov. Greg Abbott entered this year with a much larger war chest and may still have the financial upper hand against his challenger.

At least for now, this is the most a candidate for state office has ever raised during a reporting period in Texas.

Reports for Feb. 20-June 30 are due today, and Abbott hasn't released any numbers yet.

So TX doesn't have an electrical grid that functions for winter or summer at this point, does that make it a two-season state?

I give it one star.

AUSTIN – Democratic mega donor George Soros and an Austin-area couple each gave $1 million to Beto O’Rourke’s campaign to unseat Gov. Greg Abbott.

While Texans gave $14.5 million to the Democrat’s campaign, nearly half of O’Rourke’s record-breaking $27.6 million fundraising haul came from out-of-state donors.

The details come from an O’Rourke campaign finance report so huge it took several days to upload to the Texas Ethics Commission website.

O’Rourke is one of the few Democrats this election cycle to benefit from the state’s wide-open campaign finance rules that put no limit on contributions. He received several six- and seven-figure checks that are usually collected only by the state’s top Republican leaders, such as Abbott.

Either a) they need to update their computers or b) they need to learn to type faster.

“Since only 1 percent of service stations in the U.S. are owned by companies that also produce oil, U.S. oil producers are in no position to control retail gasoline prices.”

To be clear, this is noteworthy because “this guy” is the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.

That’s BS. there are no mom and pop stations anymore.

Wally’s service station on the outskirts of Mayberry is now a vacant lot, no one wants to buy it because it’s contaminated with all the used oil, Goober dumped out the back door.
