President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, will each travel to Houston this week to pay their respects to former U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, according to statements from the White House.

Jackson Lee died at age 74 on July 19 amid a battle with pancreatic cancer. The Houston Democrat was one of the longest serving members of Texas’ congressional delegation, known as a staunch advocate for progressive causes.

Harris called Jackson Lee a “dear friend” in a statementfollowing the Congresswoman’s passing and lauded her work on disaster relief following Hurricane Harvey, and as an advocate for women’s rights. Harris and Jackson Lee were both members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, a historically Black sorority, and worked together on legislation, including the law that made Juneteenth a national holiday.

“Sheila Jackson Lee was, first and foremost, a leader dedicated to serving the people of her beloved city,” Harris said in a statement. “No task was too small as long as it was the right thing to do.”

Biden and Harris’ trips to Houston are not expected to overlap. Biden will travel to Houston on Monday and is expected to visit Houston City Hall, where Jackson Lee is lying in state.

She always was a good liar.

Maybe they can get the Mars Rover to bring back the flag the Apollo crew left so It can be used in her funeral.

Biden and Harris take carrot on a stick road show to Houston to pimp some votes.

Two sides to what any democrat does both bad.

At one point didn’t she say something like “I’m a queen and demand to be treated like one”? When are the other heads of state coming to her funeral?

Today Traitorjoe is soiling his diapers in the People’s Socialist Kakistocracy of Austin. They don’t even bother temporarily removing the beggars from the street corners... oh, wait, maybe those are the people on the list for the job of Austin Police Chief.

If FJB and Que Mala are both going there, they could always coordinate their visits to coincide, demand that some rat congress members attend so they could have a celebration-like the Wellstone funerally-after all, that worked out so well...

How will she be voting in November, 2024?

Will her name show up on the voting rolls?

Kamala Harris called radical rabble-rouser Sheila Jackson Lee a “dear friend”
and lauded her advocacy for “women’s rights to abort their innocent babies.”

Harris and Jackson Lee, a Yale grad, were both members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, a Black sorority, and worked together on legislation, including the law that made Juneteenth a national holiday.

Sheila Jackson Lee lorded it over her hapless employees and referred to herself as a “queen”
(having zero concept about America being a republic....... not a monarchy).
