The definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome.
Not if you’re incapable of understanding what you’re doing. That’s something special that apparently requires an expensive Liberal Arts education.
Hopefully it means HPD handing out more tickets to drag racers and Drunk Drivers.
Same thing other democrats mayors are doing. Nothing but whine and complain their city is over flowing with immigrants
And drag queens
So well stated. I refused to move to Houston for that reason and I'm a car enthusiast. I hate them too, save it for the race track!
Unbelievable!! A time of sanity for the city of Houston.
Just another Chicago story where a lying democrat is elected. When will voters learn.....
Lol...the Sam liberal trash will still be in charge of Houston. Insanity.
Thank God it wasn’t Sheila Lee Jackson
you can say that again,and again, houston dodged a missle.
You keep voting the exact same way electing the exact same type of people hoping for a change and a different outcome it's not going to change until you change the way you think and vote
😂 Wut? They just voted for a tough-on-crime moderate who is much different from the previous mayor and the other candidate. You clown
Smart words is what u vote as what elect
Amen! Now I'm going to go vote Republican like I've done for 30 years and blame Democrats while the country goes to hell.
Obviously haven’t looked up John whitmire he chairs the Texas senate criminal justice chair as a democrat in a republican majority senate because as he says HE GETS THINGS DONE. He’s empowered local governments to handle crime but it’s up to the mayors to decide to enforce. So make all the comments you want this isn’t any Brandon Johnson we’ve elected
@@colfchan which im from Texas whatever ur name but as some stuff texas is has been as what some ppl are corrupted .yes I'm from Texas not heard of .yes I am aware of politics as to what is Texas whatever ur name is patricia
Serious question- why was the first election so close that it had to go to a runoff and then there was a massive landslide. Did mail in ballots have anything to do with it?
best news for houston, finally. mrs jackson would have been a disaster. hope this is a national trend.
And we can hear Sheila Jackson Lee yelling impeach impeach impeach
Same talk new person😢. Landslide victory? 150 000 voted out of the whole city😂
2.28 Million people 🤣
PLEASE FIX THE ROADS AND STOP THE RAMPANT CRIME!!!
Democrat policies are what's causing the crime.So you elect a democrat and hope they will fix it?
And tell
The sun
To
Stop shining
then stop voting democrat... simple math really. The last republican was 1982. He was the second and last Republican to hold that office as of 2023.
@@_mysilentblue2227 That's when the city was at it's worst, crime wise. Over 700 homicides.
John needs to crack down on crime. Strong sentencing.
He's a Democrat what 💩 Houston becomes! Houston was better off voting for Donal Duck! It will become a haven for crime and not to mention illegals.
John is clown too much crime harris county
@@andrewmartinez2726 What would you do to help solve the crime issue?
@@RapidResponce houston has was soo high crime 😳 as some parts texas
The prisons are full, that's the problem.
Congratulations Houston! Thank you!
Congratulations to Mr. John Whitmire 🎉!
For what another democrat?
@@DT-abcd He is a blue dog democrat the last of a dieing breed and also he is not a Washington insider he is a hometown man.😊
It’s still a Democratic that won. Not really a choice
Same crap.
@@nadalhector2148in a blood red state. It’s gonna be the same crap.
The only thing worse than having a democrat win is if Shelia Jackson Lee had won.
Way to go Houston! You know the Mainstream Houston Media is sad.
Next to get rid of Muriel bowser ,LONDON breed,brandon johnson,eric adams and karen Bass😅😅😅😅
You guys want change but voted for another democrat?🤣🤣🤣
You can't fix stupid.
@@TimCarterbut you can recognize them by their red hats.
You deserve what you tolerate.
@@Oldwomaninthewoods don’t you belong to a party that believes men can give birth?
The Republican candidate entered the race late and didn’t campaign. We had no choice. It was between a human and a turd. Our hands were tied.
keep Texas red and deep red forever, please. Let's go
Did he really just suggest Sheila was like an undefeated fighter like Whitmire? He was 100x the politician she is.
He must be a diplomat or practiced politician.
Change is good 🎊
Lol what change
Well be patient and see 🤔😊😂
So lets see replacing a demorat with yet another demorat and expecting change, lmao! Doesnt that just define the word insanity, good luck with that, cant say i care much and glad i dont live there
@@prettybaby696 If he's a Democrat nothing will change.
Prayers change things guys what happened to your faith Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
No matter who, We are Still Screwed
Its been a little while, but finally the people of Houston made a fairly good choice as to who
will lead their city!!!
Aààaa as a
Houston is an absolutely Horrible place to live
True story they couldn’t pay me to stay there
The only bad thing in my mind is the crime,
Sitting in a blood red state. What do you expect?
@@Oldwomaninthewoodsyea as everyone leaves Cali bringing their terrible politics..you sound like a crazy leftist..you people are literally what's wrong in the world..get a clue 🤡🤡🤡🤡
I've lived here for 13 years and have had no problems.
Would be really nice if he could put a stop to the construction of all these eye-sore beehive rental blocks sitting around mostly empty and far over-priced.
Has Law and Order Finally come to the relief of all Houstonians? Will Rampant corruption and 100k+ organized crime gang members be put in prison for long lengths of time?
100k+!?
Those aren't gangs, those are army regiments🤣🤣🤣
It seems like everything democrats touch these days falls apart.
I wouldn't talk... you guys have been getting your a** kicked repeatedly these last few years.
@@Dagger-DeepA pretty easy feat when you steal the vote.
@@Dagger-Deepdefine a woman.
@@ScratchGlass9Define an insurrection.
Major facts!
just thimk what a republican mayor could do.
Still Democrats nothing will change.
You're not even from here, troll.
Exactly!
Democrats score victories. Republicans score indictments.
Yeah rigged games do that hello
@@Dagger-Deep Nonsense, there are plenty of Democrats in prison, and there are no Houston Republicans under indictment,how could there be,there isn't a Republican no where in sight in Houston,certainly none in office there, until that changes Houston will continue to sink into the morass.
I remember when people were somewhat OK with Eric Adams getting elected. It went downhill quickly after that. Let’s give him a month in office and see if he goes woke.
A dem what could go wrong with that??
statistically FAR less than would go wrong with a Republican.
Here comes the houston safety act 😂😂😂
Nothing’ll a change.
Is that comment supposed to be in English?😂
Yes, I meant: "Nothing will change." I just shortened it. I want it to sound like "Nuthin'll--ahh--change" when someone reads it. I'm from Texas.@@JoSwann-it9jf
Yeay yeay yeay🎉❤🎉, It's for the better.
First step is to stop all corruption , total transparency..?
Good luck. Houston didn't just get this way. There are some things that have been deeply entrenched for decades, business as usual. I think he may have overextended on the campaign promises. If so, it'll come back to bite him.
I think he’s fixin to kick some ass!!! lol
@@kittypaw1111 Again good luck with that. Houston is rough. A typical port town. They've had certain factions running certain parts of Houston for over a century. They will not be giving up that power. I wish him well.
Time for a change and yes I am black
Sheila Lee Jackson says John be as heavy as 10 boxes. (Some will get this, but most wont)
LMAO
Her Ebonics. Never could master proper English or the correct dates to vote !!!! Ahahahaha 😂 she really showed her arse. Ahahaha😂😂😂 what a dunce!!
When Jackson was exposed for being a foul mouth tyrant behind closed doors to her staff....she should have dropped out of politics. Unless she thinks that behavior represents Houstonians.
He was told to smile more!!! If he smiled once that's once more than mean muggin' staff cursin' Lee.
nothing will change
Democrats are done!!😮
Houstonians need to stop belly aching and complaining if taxes
go up to fire fighters and policemen their worth for their service to protect them. They are
out there meeting the citizens needs day and night. Service and protection doesn't come free. Crime is everywhere. In the old west Bank robbers, cattle restless,
and town bosses had the law and
hired guns at their disposal to own
the territory. 1920's the mafia ruled
prostitution, bootlegging, and gambling. Now modern day organized criminals kinda rule. Even from imprisoned call the shots on crime behind bars. Pay these first responders their worth
while you are safe behind closed
doors as they patrol the streets while you sleep. Poor mayor Whitmire has now inherited the mess mayor Turner left on his lap.
Turner came in a humble man from Acres Home raised by his grand mother and graduated from
UofH. Now a wealthy man from
bribes he took in giving infrastructure contracts to his buddies. That is where all your tax
dollars are- in his wallet of incomplete contracts and others never started. So houstonians stop batchin over spilled milk. Pay
for services you will get while mayor Whitmire is at the helm and
will deliver. Citizens. Want some of your money back. Go to Turner. He's out there. He isn't untouchable!!!
Same as before stop voting democrat... simple math really. The last republican was 1982. He was the second and last Republican to hold that office as of 2023.
Still a democrat that's not good
Republican party is dying.
Independent voting bloc is growing… democrats on blast
Still a democrat that's why Houston is very wealthy 😉
@fotsofranklin87 how's it feel being laughed away from family dinners.
Don't get asked to parties much, do ya.
Now, come up from the basement and put on your mask. Now go outside and get on your scooter. It's time for your 6th booster, jagoff.
Actually it's VERY good. For the last 60 years, everything does better under Democrats than it does under Republicans.
Is he related to Kathy Whitmire?
The answer is yes Mr.John Whitmire is the brother in law to Mrs.Kathy Whitmire 😊.
There in trouble
It means Shelia Jackson Leigh stays in Washington. 😢
Bye Bye Sheila Jackson Lee
i like turtles 🐢
BRUH.....BRING BACK THE GLORY DAYS OF KATHY WHITMIRE..EVENTHOUGH I'M
NOT A DEMONcrat...😁😁😁
Yessssss🎉
More bull#hit
Both are democrats. Nothing will change or get better
I don't watch Fox News for the same reason I don't drink out of the toilet.
Back to msnbs.
Define a woman.
@@ScratchGlass9don’t you know? Define a man which you’re not?
Your mom won't let you?
You spelled FAUX NEWS wrong.
Then why are you here?
PRO - AMERICA'S ❤️🔥🇺🇸 CONSTITUTION ; VOTE BLUE 🗳 🇺🇸 🌎 ❤️🔥 🇺🇦 🫂
Are you stupid or just retarded?
A blue vote is a vote for the destruction of the fabric of what makes this country great. It’s a vote for the traditionally racist and socialist party that wants to usher in communism.
