    There are simple antidotes to complacency. Gratitude is one of them. Every morning we can take a few moments to appreciate all the goodness in our lives. Another powerful antidote is taking the time to consciously contact our Higher Power. God is always available to help us; we simply have to open the door. Sharing hope with others is perhaps the most powerful of the antidotes because it helps at least two people—ourselves and the listener who hears our story. -unattributed

    Cruz blew it and coming back to Texas is not going to fix his callousness!

    I get the joke and there is a whole lot of truth to it in a way, but he is a callous monstrosity and fortunate that he has managed to keep his seat but those who kiss the ring and lick the boots often do get to stay.

    It is hard to reconcile a statement like this from what is considered an adult and who is willing to stand up in front of a huge audience and say crap like this out loud. I know this is something I could never do. I could never pull it off. I'm sure I'd get less than half way through and start cracking up at the absurdity. Another two seconds and I'd be doubled over holding my sides -- but then I think somewhere in the past I made a bargain. If I am given brains I will do my best to try and use them, always. Of course, I'll fail but please on all that is holy -- I hope never like this.

    Golden Rule: Once words leave your mouth (especially if they promote idiocy) they are not retrievable and may come back to bite you on the ass. Welcome to the blithering idiots club lead by: Cruz, Lindell, Patrick and Paxton. Hope those words taste like crow. And none of you had to kiss ass or beg Biden for federal emergency funds; he offered them with no toadying or strings attached. So suck it up, buttercup.

    Nice to see that Cruz does know how to wear a mask and it hides a lot of ugly words, etc.

    I'll Zoom!

    Watching TV tonight, GOP strategist Mark McKinnon (of Showtime's "The Circus") said it best:

    "There are two kinds of people: those who hate Ted Cruz...and Ted Cruz."

    If you take the position that your happiness is primarily in your own hands, you give yourself enormous power. You are not waiting for events or other people to make you happy. You are not trapped by blame, alibis, or self-pity. You are free to look at the options available in any situation and respond as wisely as you can. -Nathaniel Branden

    That is very sad Cruz left his dog home. What a p.o.s. he is. Do you think it’ll register with Republican voters?


    Text messages appear to show how quickly Ted Cruz's ill-advised Cancun trip was planned

    Thu, February 18, 2021, 11:40 PM

    Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) has blamed his tween daughters for the family's international vacation to Mexico, but text messages obtained by The New York Times and Reform Austin News show that his wife, Heidi, was messaging friends and neighbors on Wednesday about heading south of the border amid a harsh winter storm that has left millions of Texans without power and water.

    Cruz was spotted at George Bush Intercontinental Airport on Wednesday afternoon, leaving behind cold Houston for warm Cancun. He was swiftly criticized for fleeing the state as millions of his constituents suffered amid brutal conditions, and he returned to Texas on Thursday. During his first attempt to smooth things over, Cruz said his daughters — who are 10 and 12 — "asked to take a trip with friends" and "wanting to be a good dad," he agreed to take them to Cancun.

    The text messages obtained by the Times show Heidi Cruz messaged friends and neighbors to say her house did not have electricity and was "FREEZING." The family was staying with friends, she added, before asking: "Anyone can or want to leave for the week? We may go to Cancun." Cruz said they could stay at the Ritz-Carlton, leaving that afternoon and coming back on Sunday. No one showed any interest in joining Ted Cruz on vacation, so Heidi Cruz offered up her home's gas stove in case anyone needed to heat water.

    The Houston Police Department confirmed with the Times that someone from the senator's office called and asked for officers to provide "assistance upon arrival" Wednesday at the airport, and law enforcement was also spotted with Cruz when he returned to Houston on Thursday. Back in the U.S., Cruz offered a new statement, telling reporters it was "obviously a mistake" to go to Cancun and claiming he had "second thoughts" as soon as he got on the plane. His daughters, he said, had "a tough week," and "all of us who are parents have a responsibility to take care of our kids, take care of our families, but I also have a responsibility that I take very seriously of fighting for the state of Texas."
