Our Lone Star story of the day: We must ensure that institutions stop imposing the costs of Leftist intimidation and violence upon the victims of such. McCarthy has it right: After Charlie Kirk, Trump should crack down on campus ‘safetyism’

The incident at Texas Tech with the 18-year-old loud and vulgar student shouting at the students honoring the memory of Charlie Kirk gives an insight in the poison that is CRT and DEI. I’ll play audio to demonstrate.

Teacher union Texas American Federation of Teachers calls TEA investigation of inappropriate remarks by Texas classroom teachers, on the Kirk assassination, a “political witch hunt” and condemns such. Does AFT believe it appropriate that the people entrusted with molding American civic responsibility into the nation’s children in public school be those who celebrate political murder and violence?

A.G. Paxton secures win requiring Austin ISD to comply with Texas law banning radical, anti-American Critical Race Theory.

Our Lone Star story of the day: A message to Leftists of all stripes and their adherents in media, colleges & universities, and all other institutions in which Leftists thrive or have taken control: We will not quit. Political polarization is not a problem unless, like the Left, you cannot abide anyone existing with whom you disagree – and don’t kid yourself, political polarization has always been defined as existing because conservatives will not abandon their beliefs and defer to those on the Left.

Our Lone Star story of the day: Leftism is not just about silencing conservatives, and any opposition even within its own camps, it wants to kill the American bedrock of Natural Rights which include freedom of conscience, the right to fully disagree with others, and to debate issues freely. Charlie Kirk was murdered because he was effective at reintroducing to propagandized young people this very concept of peacefully have one’s ideas challenged and debated.

Texas State University fires professor for pro-violence remarks at Revolutionary Socialism Conference 2025, calling for overthrow of the United States government. The Leftwing media is trying to soften this guy to suggest he is a victim so read this story. He has every right to hold these views but not to use our resources to espouse such and to push these views on students in the classroom. You can study these things in class but you cannot advocate for such as a prof.

Our Lone Star story of the day: Why does it seem to always take a big on-video scandal of radical Leftists using our public institutions to indoctrinate and push their perverted revolution for so many elected and establishment type Republicans to accept what is happening when we knew and presented evidence of such all along?! The Texas A&M scandal blows up more but it is nothing new and Governor Abbott’s appointed regents knew Welch was a big Leftist when they hired him! (Reminds of all the big wheels claiming the transgender scandal wasn’t real just a few years ago and publicly demeaning conservatives who were publishing evidence of just how widespread such was in our Texas institutions.)

Our Lone Star story of the day: Boomerang! An example in Fort Worth as to why “hate crime” laws, the entire concept of such, are a ridiculous and dangerous affront to basic liberty. Plus an example of Texas conservatives making the same mistake as Leftists on free speech and expression. Free speech and expression is always under attack from all sides! The Alex Jones case is as bad as any of the horrible cases we’ve recently seen out of Great Britain.

The answer to speech we don’t like is always: More speech.

Everything that is wrong with the public education system: F-rated small school district, Roscoe Collegiate ISD, spends big money on fancy buses claiming: [The fancy buses] will boost it boosts morale—students feel valued when they’re riding in a vehicle that reflects their importance to the school community.” How about the F-rated district put the money into academics so that students earn real, lifelong “morale!”

Our Lone Star story of the day: Legislature calls it quits for the 2nd Called Session even though there was plenty of time left to keep working on important bills that help Texans. I guess they were too worried about running home to raise money for themselves and not worried enough about our growing property tax problem.

Flood deaths lead Texas Republicans to act as Democrats with heavy regulation, attacks on private property use, and more spending – never letting a crisis go to waste isn’t limited to Dems!
