October 24, 2025Episode 3843: The real Alamo controversy | Sen. Perry says talks underway on water project Corpus Christi flushed – Pratt on Texas 10/24/2025
The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day: The latest controversy to blowup about the Alamo should be in reverse. It’s not that the Lt. Gov. called on the head of the Alamo Trust to resign and that she is now gone, as the press wants to present it. The controversy, in a sane world, is that we continue to have people in positions of power and trust who want to rewrite Texas History to fit a leftwing inaccurate template and wish to present the Alamo to people as something other than what it is and why they go there: A shrine to Texas Liberty and the Texas Revolution.

Reminder, people don’t visit Pearl Harbor to study the diaspora of the Polynesian peoples across the Pacific islands, they go to remember the attack on the USA by the Empire of Japan on 7 December 1941. It is the same at the Alamo.

All libraries turnover their collections regularly. Second, with the admission that some removals “are no-brainers,” the question then becomes, and must be asked, why were they put in the libraries to begin with?

The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day: Would Texas liberals and Democrats support pro-gun rights or pro-life crosswalks and street branding?
