New Texas Poll: Sanders and Biden Tied

I received an email from Progress Texas:


Progress Texas
Hi Tammera,

On our March 3 Primary Election, Texas will be one of the first states to see Mike Bloomberg on the ballot. We wanted to hear from Texans what his impact would be on the race, so we commissioned Public Policy Polling to help us learn more. Below is a sneak peak of what the polls tell us:

Biden and Sanders lead the field
Warren is the strongest second choice
Bloomberg has the worst approval/disapproval rating
This is the first set of poll data collected since last weekend’s Nevada caucuses. The poll, taken from Monday, February 24th to Tuesday, February 25th, asked 1,045 likely Texas Democratic voters for their opinions. For the full analysis with charts, click below!

Problems with Texas Child Protective

My granddaughter's dad had another baby. In July he was playing with her and she fell and broke her arm.

The doctor at the hospital notified CPS because they found previous broken bones and both children were removed. In August he was charged with felony injury to a child. He has maintained that he didn't do anything to the baby.

While in foster care, the baby has suffered another broken bone.

Day before yesterday his dad called me and told me that the baby has been diagnosed with DiGeorge Syndrome. One of the symptoms can be low calcium levels which can cause brittle bones. Hopefully he will have his case dismissed and they will return the kids. It's sad that the baby has this condition but I'm glad it wasn't something that was the dad's fault.

Sometimes when I lose internet connection

I get a cached paged and see a link and don't realize right away that it's old.

So today I was surprised to see:


Harry Enten: Bernie Sanders 2020 is in big trouble

I thought it was from today and was thinking that it sounded like wishful thinking. Then I saw it was from July and thought, "well even the experts can make wrong predictions.

Houston mayor backs Bloomberg and will help launch "Mike for Black America"

Mike Bloomberg picked up the endorsement Thursday of Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, who leads the fourth largest city in the nation. The announcement follows his endorsement this week by three members of the Congressional Black Caucus. Their support could help allay any renewed concerns about Bloomberg's use of "stop and frisk" policies while he was the mayor of New York City.

Bloomberg ads a little deceptive

I've been seeing a lot of Bloomberg ads here in Texas and they appear a little deceitful. They use clips of Obama praising Bloomberg for his time of mayor and it makes it appear like Obama is endorsing Bloomberg. As far as I know Obama has not endorsed anyone.
