I normally don’t do this, but this young man’s integrity and drive for the people is the kind of change Port Arthur needs.

If you want to know who he is beyond the headlines and the noise, come out to the Port Arthur Public Library and speak to him personally. Ask questions. Hear his vision. See his heart for the community.

Let’s end the bullying in our politics. A politician who bullies shows poor character and that’s not what we, as a community, should want or accept.

Port Arthur deserves leadership rooted in respect, fairness, and service.

🗳️ Vote Brandon Bartie for JP Precinct 2.

My human, Michael, is off this week, so it is up to me, Bill, to write his column. Since this is the Wednesday before Christmas, I have decided that my two brothers will help me in reciting The Night Before Christmas. So, sit back as Bernie, Roswell, and I entertain as only we can. Bill Bill, Bernie...

I love cheesy holiday specials—yes, even the ones where a big-city girl falls for a flannel-wearing stranger in a snow-globe town. But sometimes, I wish Hallmark would mix it up. Maybe give us Trapped: A 12 Items or Less Romance or A Zuckerberg Christmas. Don’t lie—you’d watch them too.
