Ted Cruz Rally - Houston, TX

Ahead of the 10th Republican primary debate of the 2016 presidential election cycle, Ted Cruz made a pit stop at Mach Industrial Group here in Houston. He was introduced and endorsed by current Texas Governor Greg Abbott and embraced by hundreds of TrusTed sign holding supporters. There were lights, cameras, Secret Service and not much action. There were boos at the mention of "our current president" and cheers at the invocation of The Alamo. Then there was me, taking pictures and being quiet.

Long Live The Kings

Some of you may have heard, or not, but the city of Sacramento is keeping their NBA franchise in town. After a lot of back and forth with the Maloofs looking to move the Kings to Anaheim, Virginia Beach and Seattle, Mayor Kevin Johnson with the help of an ownership group led by Vivek Ranadive has successfully kept the team in the city. To celebrate this King continuity, there was rally at Cesar Chavez Park smack dab in the middle of Sacramento.

In my two years here, one thing I've learned is that this place looooooooooves the Kings. They love Jimmer and Webber and Vlade and Mitch and Tyreke and Bobby (Hurley and Jackson) and Peja and IT and Bibby. All those cats. They love them. And they came out in full force to celebrate at least 35 more years of the purple and black royalty.

Shout out to KJ, David Garibaldi, Carmichael Dave's RV, Chris Webber jerseys and that big ass banner that everyone signed. Long Live the Kings.
