No sir. No. Light that whole apartment complex on fire. If you can’t stand the sight of rodents, do not watch the video at the bottom of this article. It features footage that has gone viral among the residents of Houston, Texas. According to the lady interviewed in the video, rats have infested her apartment, and the landlord refuses to take any action about it. Allegedly.
She also claims that she has had three fires in her unit and has requested that the owners fix the damage from those fires, and those requests seem like they’ve been dealt with. She says the owners patched the damage and replaced the oven, so I’m not really sure what the gripe is there.
Texas Apartment Complex Overrun by Rats I have a suggestion for the rat problem. What you do is find a couple of stray cats, bring those bad boys over to the complex, and let them run amok. You will have one hundred percent fewer rodents by the end of the week. Easy peasy.

Anyway, until something changes, the people living there say they’ll keep dealing with the creepy feeling that something is scurrying just out of sight.
And with rats showing up more often in the open, it’s clear the rodents aren’t too worried about keeping a low profile.

The Most Embarrassing Public Figures in Texas Since 2022 The top 10 biggest losers in Texas over the past three years. Gallery Credit: Chrissy YouTube, Via FOX 26 Houston Greg Abbott - Governor of Texas Greg Abbott has been criticized across the state for Texass failing power grid, anti-LGBTQ+ laws, and ridiculous immigration stunts, like busing migrants elsewhere, book bans, and ultra-restrictive abortion laws. Hes also acting like a complete baffoon right now over the democrats who fled the state in a redistricting stand-off. Hes a sore loser and is more than willing to cheat the system to get his way. YouTube, Via Joel Osteen Joel Osteen - Megachurch Pastor, Lakewood Church (Houston) Joel Osteen has always been a swindler. Hes especially frowned upon for using Jesus to fund his lavish lifestyle. In 2021, a plumber even found bags of cash hidden in his church walls. Oh, and then there was that whole not-gonna-let-people-in-my-church-until-they-suffer-a-bit-longer attitude he displayed in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey in 2017. Id trust the Devil before I trusted Joel. YouTube, Via ThriveTime Show Clay Clark - ReAwaken America Tour Organizer Clark is the leading conspiracy-driven, Christian nationalist in Texas right now.
His ReAwaken America Tour even series features harmful anti-vax, QAnon, and election denial rhetoric. Hes partnered up with a slew of other slimy and controversial pastors, preying on people instead of praying with people. If God lets this guy in, Id rather skip out on the whole heaven thing. No thanks.

His erratic behavior, dismantling Twitter/X , labor issues with his new Texas facilities, and promotion of ridiculous conspiracies landed him on the list of Texass biggest losers.

YouTube, Via WFAA Dan Patrick - Texas Lt. Governor I had to do a double-take when I found the photo for this image. The lighting, camera angle, and content were just too close to SNL. I thought it was a spoof! But, alas, its the real deal. The photo is from a YouTube video of Patrick dramatically throwing a THC product in a press conference surrounded by other out-of-touch cronies, who have perpetuated the narrative that pot is dangerous for far too long. Thats not the only reason he sucks. Hes also constantly pushing Christian nationalist policies and calling for school censorship . Hes one of the most disgusting, ignorant, and divisive human beings on the planet. Where is Batman when we really need him?
YouTube, Via HBO Alex Jones - Conspiracy King (Professional Lawsuit Magnet) The InfoWars host and crazy far-right conspiracy theorist has spent the past 3 years doing nothing but losing, hard. He claimed the Sandy Hook massacre was a hoax and was ordered to pay almost $1.5 billion in damages to their families.
He continues to rant online, but people with credibility dont pay attention anymore, and thats definitely a good thing. Hes nuttier than a squirrel turd. He filed for bankruptcy . Good riddance. YouTube, Via Senator Ted Cruz Ted Cruz - U.S. Senator from Texas I dont even want to get into why Ted Cruz is a loser. We all know by now. But, if you are new to the table, Cruz is still making headlines for grandstanding, drama on Twitter/X and for making ridiculously polarizing comments. Im convinced hes a robot, and youll never change my mind. He makes Texas look worse and worse to the rest of the world each time he opens his mouth. YouTube, Via Allen B. West Allen West - Former Texas GOP Chair West lost his 2022 run against Abbott, and Im not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing. They are both just about as twisted as they come. West is known for pushing election denial, anti-vax sentiments, and extreme-right rhetoric that makes you wonder what f*cking year it is. I fully believe that if we keep putting people like this guy in charge of stuff, women will suddenly lose pockets on their jeans, or perhaps, the ability to wear pants altogether. Its that level of stupidity, guys. LOSER.
