Brandon came within 400 votes of winning the primary and scared the living crap out of Rep. Gonzales and the Washington Uniparty Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>After the election when President Trump kicked Kackling Kamala Harris to the curb in a landslide win, Brandon Herrera\u2019s name was put forward to be the next director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Apparently, there were some in Washington who actually took this seriously. Watching some of the podcasts on YouTube and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pepperbox.tv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">also on Pepperbox<\/a>, it appeared that someone in DC did talk to Brandon about the possibility. Sadly, he was not selected, although many a meme was created.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the slanderous Gonzales was reelected, and according to Mr. Herrera, promptly returned to his Deep State Uniparty RINO roots. I have not followed Gonzales since he\u2019s not my Representative, but it doesn\u2019t surprise me. Here is the YouTube video of Brandon\u2019s announcement.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"I\u2019m Running for Congress\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-32CWn3-S7U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Now in 2024, I donated to two races. This was the first time I had ever donated to any candidate. Lily Tang Williams was the other since she was running in my district. Sadly, she lost to a carpetbagging Democrat Washington insider. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lilytangwilliams.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lily Williams<\/a>, who did the best mic drop ever against the Tutu wearing dweeb, David Hogg, is running again. Personally, I think she should up her game and go for the Senate.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter \" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.pinimg.com\/736x\/21\/11\/9a\/21119a4950d1977ad109f741618bd3b5.jpg?resize=494%2C329&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"494\" height=\"329\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now one thing I am wondering about is what will happen if the redistricting debate currently underway, with the Democrats bravely running away to \u201cProtect <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\"><i>Democrats<\/i><\/span> Democracy,\u201d goes through? District 23 is huge and I would suspect that breaking it up into two more more new districts, (I think Texas is looking at 5 new districts), might change just who Brandon Herrera actually faces.

He came close the last time and it was only the flat out lies by Gonzales and the Deep State plus outspending the Herrera for Congress campaign by 10-1 that saved his butt.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.pinimg.com\/736x\/91\/b6\/12\/91b6128b9ca6f97a426f339e80a80e3a.jpg?resize=480%2C312&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"480\" height=\"312\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I wonder if Brandon is going to ask his friend and fellow podcaster, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@the_fat_electrician\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Fat Electrician<\/a>, to do opposition research? Right now, he\u2019s currently ripping the Buffalo School System to shreds for their crimes against children. Putting a binder together of Tony Gonzales\u2019s greatest hits shouldn\u2019t take him more then an afternoon and a few beers.<\/p>\n<p>I wish Brandon Herrera the best of luck and I have a good feeling about this run. The one or two downers to this is that being a Representative is going to eat into his podcast production. The other thing? If Gonzales is, as he should be, shown the door, (Along with the other Texas RINO, John Cornyn), he will be vested in his congressional pension at my expense. Perhaps Representative Herrera might consider a bill to fix all that?<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.pinimg.com\/736x\/fa\/ca\/c6\/facac611640dbdaeb481c1bf7dbbb1b0.jpg?resize=500%2C500&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Thatisall<\/p>\n<span id=\"post-ratings-45491\" class=\"post-ratings\" data-nonce=\"b180a82244\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_45491_1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"1 Star\" title=\"1 Star\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(45491, 1, '1 Star');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(5, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_45491_2\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"2 Stars\" title=\"2 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(45491, 2, '2 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(5, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_45491_3\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"3 Stars\" title=\"3 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(45491, 3, '3 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(5, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_45491_4\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"4 Stars\" title=\"4 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(45491, 4, '4 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(5, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_45491_5\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"5 Stars\" title=\"5 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(45491, 5, '5 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(5, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/> (<strong>2<\/strong> votes, average: <strong>5.00<\/strong> out of 5)<br \/><span class=\"post-ratings-text\" id=\"ratings_45491_text\"><\/span><\/span><span id=\"post-ratings-45491-loading\" class=\"post-ratings-loading\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/loading.gif?resize=16%2C16&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" class=\"post-ratings-image\" \/>Loading...<\/span>\n<p><i><b>~The Angry Webmaster~<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good day all.
