Our Lone Star story of the day: The Democrat race war continues with Colin Allred going after more comments, this time of an anti-family nature, alleged to have been made by Little James Talarico. Is Crocked Crockett bothered by slanderous rhetoric in the campaigns? Nope, she won’t even admit it is bad when what she said was factually wrong – Leftism always says the end justifies the means.

Some Republicans are again talking about forms of amnesty for illegal aliens under the guise of immigration reform. An online post by TX19 GOP candidate Abraham Enriquez seems to show his support for such. He’s not very clear but then again, that is often what is used to hide a candidate’s real convictions.

Our Lone Star story of the day: A political race war blew up in the Texas Democrat Party race for U.S. Senate last week and it is still erupting on the national level.

Now, the Democrat Caucus leader in the Texas House, old Gene ‘Boo Hoo’ Wu is having his race war comments exposed. It’s all evidence that the Democrat Party wasn’t just the party of slavery, racial segregation, and the KKK, it is still the party of racial separatism and conflict.

And note the polling data (see page 14) just out on the Dem race for U.S. Senate – that party is massively divided upon racial lines.

The University of Houston’s Hobby School of Public Affairs has released new polling on the Republican and Democrat races for U.S. Senate as well as sentiment on President Trump. I offer evaluation of the GOP race on the show.

An RGV Republican Texas House candidate gets it right: “It’s kind of funny that they put fascism on here, but this is the real fascism, is them stomping on free speech. I’m just the opposite and I am from American values and for free speech and will fight for that.” Read more: ‘No Nazis’, ‘No Fascist’ spray-painted on Texas House candidate’s campaign signs in McAllen.

A Trump appointed federal judge makes an absurd ruling on Texas anti-ESG law, SB13. Albright may get away with hanging his hat on some “overbroad” provision upon appeal but his ruling that the law violates the First Amendment free speech rights of the plaintiffs is ridiculous. The law does not stop anyone from saying anything, or joining the anti-human ESG movement. The law simply sets policy standards regarding the investment of public money by the state and its institutions. Does Albright believe that a legislature cannot set such policies? The leftwing states have policies in place to favor investment in the evil ESG movement.

Attorney General Paxton sues the Muslim Brotherhood, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (“CAIR”), and CAIR’s Austin, Houston, and DFW chapters to ban the terrorist organizations from operating in Texas.

Our Lone Star story of the day: Many Texas public schools supported students leaving class for leftwing agitation/protest events. This has to stop whether Left or Right, class time is class time. They can learn all their First Amendment rights outside of school hours just fine. But worse, in this case, faculty and staff put students in harm’s way outside the campus ‘security’ bubble.

TEA has reacted strongly but lawmakers need to add more avenues of personal accountability for faculty and staff engaged in this type of behavior. TEA To Districts: Student Walkouts Risk Funding Loss And State Takeover.

Is expensive public school security all a farce? How does this go on with no faculty, staff, or administrators noticing? Wylie ISD Responds to Islamic Handouts at School. District officials said the group Why Islam? did not have approval to distribute materials on the Wylie East High School campus.

Former Texas A&M teacher files lawsuit, paid for by Leftist groups, wanting her job back after being fired for including gender-fluidity ideological material in what was supposed to be a course on children’s literature. Where she and her type get this idea of a First Amendment right to “academic freedom” is hard to pin down. Certainly no one has a right to free speech on someone else’s dime or property.

Our Lone Star story of the day: Media and its Democrats keep saying the ICE operations to arrest and deport illegal aliens is going to kill Republicans in the mid-term elections – but what does polling actually say?

The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day: Saturday’s special election in Texas Senate District 9, a heavily Republican district, saw an AFL-CIO trained “union leader” beat Trump, Abbott, and Patrick endorsed Republican activist Leigh Wambsganss. Florida’s Ron DeSantis is right, we cannot just ignore this, the weather effected both sides and Republicans generally vote higher in early voting than Democrats. Dems did organize big, and spend big money, for this special election as a morale booster but the defeat should be taken very seriously.

Libs, RINOs, and others who mostly care what other libs will think about them, go crazy over Texas A&M ditching its women and gender studies program. That’s a program that should be absent from most every university. Many serious scholars have long argued that these programs are ideological in nature and somewhat illegitimate. Here’s the typical reaction of someone who thinks he is conservative but really isn’t.

Our Lone Star story of the day: Senate Bill 2 from the 88th Texas Legislature (2023) required the election of 3 public members to appraisal district boards in counties with 75,000 or more in population. Micah O’Hair, director, Place 1, Lubbock Central Appraisal District, is one of these inaugural elected appraisal district board members. What he has seen, heard, and experienced is exactly what led the legislature to create these elected positions – and he says it justifies having a fully elected board.
