The news of Texas covered today includes:

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.

Our Lone Star story of the day: It was in the cards from the beginning: The Republican Party of Texas is suing the state in federal court to establish Republican-only primary elections which the establishment players in Austin oppose. Other state parties have prevailed in federal court over this same issue.

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!

Our Lone Star story of the day: Stupid, shortsighted, “shocking,” and more can be used to describe why a group of conservative legislators today voted with Democrats to ruin SB10 – the bill that lowers the voter approval election trigger from 3.5% to 2.5% for local property tax increases.

Our Lone Star story of the day: Why do so many “Republicans” in a conservative voting county, Lubbock County, think that constantly growing government spending, at taxpayer expense with property tax increases, is good policy and reflective of good management and stewardship? Frankly there is a lot of Washington, DC swamp thinking going on such as calling reductions in the rate of increase in spending cuts to spending. Longtime taxpayer champion Lubbock County Commissioner Jason Corley joins me to discuss this issue and why he and commissioners Rackler and Shaw have stood firm for not raising property taxes.

Our Lone Star story of the day: The Texas House blew up the property tax reform bill [more] and now has to reconcile with the Senate. And, the House appears to be leaning toward Texas becoming a pothead legal drug state. Plus, the House voted to reform the public school STAAR test but Odessa’s state Rep. Landgraf makes clear his goal is to end testing all together – the great goal of the Leftist teacher unions that want zero accountability for the results achieved with taxpayers’ money.
