Garcia: Biden and Trump are old. We can talk about this without being cruel. - San Antonio Expres...

A good way to measure the moral fiber of any society is to gauge how it treats its most vulnerable. Animals. Children. The elderly. The needy and the dispossessed. It’s a basic tenet of karmic law that we should look after our parents when they become elderly, in the same way they looked after us when we most needed them as children. Growing old and suffering the debilitating effects of aging is not a character flaw; it’s an inevitability for those of us who manage to live long enough. The aging…

Garcia: Debate with Trump carries some risk, but plenty of opportun...

Joe Biden and Donald Trump will be debating each other this week, and it really shouldn’t matter. On one side of the stage in Atlanta we’ll have a sitting president who served eight years as vice president and 36 years in the U.S. Senate. How much more can we learn about Biden in a 90-minute televised debate? On the other side of the stage, we’ll have a former president who hosted a popular reality show for 14 years and has been a national celebrity for roughly four decades. How much more can w…

Garcia: Aileen Cannon destroyed her good reputation for Donald Trum...

If Aileen Cannon’s 2020 confirmation process was notable for anything, it was how smooth and drama-free the whole thing played out. Cannon, who was then-President Donald Trump’s choice to be federal judge for the Southern District of Florida, sailed through her Senate confirmation with a 56-21 vote. Twelve Senate Democrats voted for her. This was a remarkable display of bipartisan accord, given the acrimony at the time between congressional Republicans and Democrats. At the very moment when the…

Texas Republicans aren't happy unless they're disgruntled - San Ant...

Texas Republicans get their way on just about everything: gun rights, abortion bans, voting restrictions, taxes, education lesson plans, school libraries, drag shows and the power of parents to decide what to do if their child is battling gender dysphoria. But those same Texas Republicans are remarkably sore winners, chronic malcontents who are constantly aggrieved by the thought that any differing voice might be heard or empowered in any way. That’s why one of the big themes at the Republican P…

Garcia: Tony Gonzales' lucky streak continues with runoff win - San...

Tony Gonzales is the luckiest politician in Texas. I already thought so before last Tuesday, but now I’m convinced. When I call him lucky, I’m not discounting the countless hours of campaign work that the San Antonio Republican congressman and the members of his team have put in over the past five years. I’m also not ignoring how he’s had some political hurdles to overcome, namely when the Republican Party of Texas censured him last year over his votes for modest gun reform and legislation requi…

Garcia: Julián Castro's HUD move 10 years ago set off wild chain re...

Ten years ago last week, news broke that Julián Castro was leaving the mayor’s office to accept an appointment from then-President Barack Obama to be secretary of housing and urban development. No other single event in San Antonio history altered the trajectories of as many political figures as that bombshell development. Castro’s 2014 decision was startling but not exactly surprising. After his star-making keynote address at the 2012 Democratic National Convention, his name increasingly popped…

Garcia: Cuellar indictment undermines Trump's attacks on the DOJ - ...

Henry Cuellar is stepping on Donald Trump’s narrative. Trump, the former and possible future president of the United States, is battling four criminal indictments at the same time he prepares to battle President Joe Biden in this year’s general election. Trump’s daily refrain, his way of explaining away his legal problems, is that he is the victim of political persecution. Although two of the cases involve state, not federal, charges, Trump, the standard bearer of the Republican Party, rolls the…

Garcia: Kika de la Garza dominated Valley politics with low-key bip...

Richard Nixon strode through the crowded auditorium at Rio Grande City High School and made his way to the piano in the back. It was a Friday afternoon in September 1972. Nixon was visiting this small, predominantly Mexican American community in the middle of what would prove to be a triumphant presidential reelection campaign. Nixon’s campaign strategy was to present himself as a statesman rising above petty politics. He was a Republican president dropping in on one of the most Democratic areas…

Garcia: 2024 Biden is looking a lot like 1968 Humphrey - San Antoni...

2024 Joe Biden is 1968 Hubert Humphrey. Like Humphrey in 1968, Biden is running for president at a time of unrest on college campuses. Like Humphrey in 1968, he will be the default nominee of his party, a figure who elicits little enthusiasm and feels out of sync with the political moment. Like Humphrey in 1968, his record of progressive achievement means little to young leftists, who see him as an enabler of foreign atrocities. One of the great tragedies of 20th-century American politics was th…

San Antonio Democrats turn to some outside help in two key races - ...

Texas House Districts 118 and 121 are the two legislative races to watch in San Antonio this year. Democrats have traditionally controlled the South Side-based District 118, but a Republican, John Lujan, currently holds the seat. Republicans have perpetually dominated District 121, which includes Alamo Heights, Terrell Hills, Olmos Park and part of North San Antonio. But the margins of victory have become smaller recently, and Democrats hope that district voters will come to regard this year’s…

Trump objects to Arizona's abortion ban, but not the one in Texas -...

Both Arizona and Texas have state laws banning abortions in all cases except to save the life of the pregnant woman. Both the Arizona and Texas abortion bans offer no exceptions for cases of rape or incest. Under both the Arizona and Texas laws, performing or attempting to perform an abortion is a felony. Former President Donald Trump has condemned the Arizona law, saying it goes “too far” and calling on the Arizona Legislature to “act immediately” to “remedy what has happened.” Trump, however,…
