    Next Up After Louie Ghomert Leaves Office

    On Wednesday I had a hearing in probate court to be officially appointed as the administrator of my deceased daughter's estate. That's not particularly news worthy, but the court date had an unexpected twist.

    Louie Ghomert, my very "eccentric", some may say "crazy" congressman who is not running for re-election in November will undoubtedly be replaced by Republican candidate Nathaniel Moran.

    Nathaniel Moran was the judge at my hearing Wednesday.

    From what I have read and heard he seems to be what we would expect from a good conservative Republican. He is not a part of Trump's cult.

    There is a pretty good article in the Washington Post about him. It starts off about Moran and then skips around a bit in the middle but there is more about Moran after that.

    There is a brand-new ConservoMeter widget that the WP uses. Not many know about it. It checks voting records via the Dominion voting machines.

    The article's headline says it all, "Some far-right members are being replaced by traditional conservatives." I like it.
