    The news of Texas covered today includes:

    Our Lone Star story of the day: In the Battle for Texas, it is all up to you as a voter. Will Texas let the nation down or, will Texas hold off the push of the Democrat socialist agenda at the ballot box? Early voting numbers make it clear that Republicans can win it all but, they have to show up to vote and so far Leftist Democrats are showing up in bigger numbers.

    Texas manufacturing sector still growing reports the Dallas Fed.

    Stupid “Impact Fee” flirtation by the City of Lubbock results in the city paying a contractor $1.6 million. It probably is the best to settle for this. Lubbock should never have moved into this Leftist “impact fee” scheme to begin with.

    More utter weirdness from Lubbock County Judge Curtis Parrish that one could interpret to be premeditation of bad action. However you take it, it is indisputably odd: County judge wrote unusual job description in 2019 with instructions in case of illegal, unethical or immoral behavior.

    West Texas DA opens forgery probe into transgender mailers. She’s a nut to begin with and from what I’ve seen nothing is illegal about the mailers in question. Media Dems are screaming mad that voters have been effectively reminded of what Talarico and the other Texas Dems stand for.

    • Episode 4088: RINO peacocking continues | Early vote turnout | More women accuse Parrish – Pratt on Texas 10/21/2026

      The news of Texas covered today includes:

      Our Lone Star story of the day: Review of what first day of early voting in Texas tells us, with a limited data set. Also, I certainly was right about the peacocking pseudo Republicans bolstering themselves while trying to elect far leftist Democrats. And, I was right about Phelan letting slip what the true hope is for these people: That having conservative warriors lose big might help them elect RINOs in primaries and doom the conservative movement.

      • Neil Bush, W’s brother, says he voted for James Talarico in Texas
      • Dade Phelan Refuses to Back Ken Paxton for the Senate Seat
      • Top Medical Journal Publishes Op-Ed Against Parents Rights To Stop Child Sex Changes– this is the stuff Phelan and RINOs said wasn’t happening and with which they do not want to deal.

                The news of Texas covered today includes:

                Our Lone Star story of the day: For today, I bring back the once wildly popular feature: Pratt on Texas Word of the Day. Word of the day is: dissembling. It means to put on a false appearance; conceal facts, intentions, or feelings. On the CNN town hall, little Jimmy “The Creep” Talarico spent the evening dissembling about his radical Leftist record:

                • Notoriously Woke James Talarico Stumbles Through CNN Town Hall, Posing Unconvincingly as Moderate › American Greatness
                • James Talarico Flip-Flops on His Views Over Trans Kids and Parental Rights – he dissembles but the wording he used could go the other way

                • During CNN Town Hall James Talarico Says the Bible is Silent on Abortion, Gets Schooled by Catholic Woman From the Audience

                • Talarico Gets Nailed for Big Problem With Claim in New Ad – he can’t provide any instance when he called out Biden on the border while Biden was President.

                  The news of Texas covered today includes:

                  Our Lone Star story of the day: Conservative hating, disgraced former Speaker of the Texas House, Dade Phelan, admits in an interview with Leftist Texas Monthly what the real game is: The insider anti-conservative crowd hopes a big Texas loss for Republicans will steer the party away from conservatism and back into the hands of the insider class. This is despicable but not new. It is the same argument I heard while in the room with these types back in the 1980’s and 1990’s.

                  The news of Texas covered today includes:

                  Our Lone Star story of the day: At every turn, Texas Democrats who have political power are showing the agenda they will advance if voters hand them more power: Open borders, little to no enforcement of immigration law, raising taxes and fees, and increasing regulation – hardly an effort to increase “affordability.”

                    Again, I give you the honest details of the Waco case that Talarico is misleading the public about when claiming Paxton gave a special deal to a pedophile. It’s such B.S. that it would have been blown apart in June if not for a lying leftist media.
