Meet Depressed

Submitted by ub on

Americans are depressed and frustrated with the state of our current political climate that has reached new lows, with leaders scrambling to persuade their nominees to stick to the issues, to abandon attacks and negative tactics which have caused low morale among the US electorate.

We realize that political campaigns and elections are not supposed to be fun, but they should always reaffirm what’s best about democracy.

OUT INCUMBENTS

Submitted by ub on

US Congress members and state legislators have increasingly grown lazy and voters should exercise their right to vote, to get representatives working again and staying away from special interests and corruption.

Some observers may say it is probably not possible if the past record is any indication, but dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery must stop immediately.

Existing holders of political offices could be replaced during the upcoming elections where priorities are defined, established to improve structural advantages for all Americans.

CAMP PAIN DONT

The Donald's political camp pain is snowballing into a summer disaster. By some accounts, ts a total mess and getting worse.

It is the opinion of CITY IMAGES that The Donald can not and will not allow, or even consider letting go of any and all perceived questionable comments, no matter how large or small, nor the political risk to his tarnished brand, or more importantly to our country.

The writing is on the wall and the free press should realize that what he thrives on is publicity, be is positive, or negative. Therefore, if he wishes to call others name, he should be forced to purchase political ads.

The UT Tower clock stopped this morning at 11:48A. The same time when the shooting began 50 years ago. Unfortunately, there are still too many mass shootings in America. Some fear we are headed in the wrong direction. Today also marks the day when Texas’ new campus carry law goes into effect.

Houston, Texas is still in danger of severe flooding and is not ready for a major hurricane. It's home to the nation's largest refining and petrochemical complex, where billions of gallons of oil and dangerous chemicals are stored. Houston is a sitting duck for the next big hurricane and this fourth largest city in the nation isn't nearly ready.
