  • Episode 3609: Battle over deportations | TTU regents want to ignore state law | SpaceX shows power of freedom – Pratt on Texas 11/20/2024

    The news of Texas covered today includes:

    Our Lone Star story of the day: Texas offers up use of its new Starr County ranch for Trump’s deportation efforts and Abbott thumbs his nose at Biden/Harris, adds more buoy barriers in the Rio Grande. Trump’s new “border czar” Tom Homan reveals how military will be used for mass deportations, dispelling liberal speculation.

    Tony Gonzales, Chip Roy clash over mass deportation plans. This will be the big battle inside the GOP and inside the country. Plan: Work out the kinks and get the system working well with the criminals and then, ramp it up for all who have entered illegally including the fake asylum app people.

    Texas Tech regents ask Governor Abbott for permission to break Texas law in paying athletes because they predict the legislature will change the law next year! Who are these people and what warped sense of the Rule of Laws and civic integrity do they have?

    SpaceX launches show the power of freedom – get government out of the way! Flights into Brownsville sold out prior to SpaceX’s sixth test flight of Starship/Superheavy.

    FAA approves revised launch rate for Boca Chica; schedules public meetings locals better start showing up because so far they have abandoned the playing field to the radical Left: “SpaceX does not help humanity; it’s a sci-fi fantasy for the rich and powerful,” Josette Hinojosa, with South Texas Environmental Justice Network, partly said in a statement. “Elon Musk inviting Trump to watch our low-income community used as a testing site for rocket explosions is a blatant example of white supremacy.“

  • Episode 3608: All about “recess appointments” | Texas school curriculum with Biblical references – Pratt on Texas 11/19/2024

    The news of Texas covered today includes:

    Our Lone Star story of the day: Leftist media would have you believe that Texas public schools are about to start teaching from the Bible. One, this is not true. Two, our culture, history, and politics cannot accurately be taught without reference to the Bible and Christian principles. We create a huge gap in people’s education if they are not familiar with references to Biblical influence.

    Ector County commissioners add on to the all too common abuse: Use CO bonds to build a courthouse instead of going to the people for a vote.

    What you need to know about presidential “recess appointments” and the history of how appointee approval by the Senate broke – hint, it’s the Democrats.

    Congress eyes moves on Farm Bill but don’t expect much.

    The news of Texas covered today includes:

    Our Lone Star story of the day: Texas Tech, other state universities, are still teaching DEI and other similar Marxist doctrines.  Most are doing as I predicted and simply renaming things to make it hard to find.

    Governor Abbott tells regents he wants no tuition increases over next 2 years in Texas public colleges and universities. Bad timing for Texas Tech system’s Midwestern State University.

    Wynn Rosser named Texas Higher Education Commissioner.

    Migrant center leader hopes Trump doesn’t bring back ‘remain in Mexico’ – this woman is a radical no-border Leftist we have covered fro years. What a soft-soap job on the story by the Fox reporter.

      • Episode 3604: Cornyn deep-sixing Paxton as Trump’s AG? | DACA illegals get subsidized health insurance | New lone stars in Texas – Pratt on Texas 11/12/2024

        The news of Texas covered today includes:

        Our Lone Star story of the day: Trump’s new Chief of Staff has it right: Trump has a window of opportunity of only “two years” to change the federal government for the better. This time he is getting good people in place early.

        • Trump selects Lee Zeldin to head the EPA
        • Former Trump Energy Sec, Dan Brouillette, Who Unleashed Production Boom Positioned for Return to Admin
        • Trump selects South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem for Homeland Security secretary
        • Sen. Marco Rubio to serve as secretary of state?
        • Trump’s first moves match public’s push for immigration fix
        • Is Texas Senator John Cornyn threatening Trump to stop appointment of Ken Paxton as Attorney General? Probably but my gut makes me think that Paxton is not on the short list to begin with. Either way we see how nasty and anti-conservative is the swamp-swimmer Cornyn.

          The famed Michelin stars fall upon the Texas restaurant scene.

          An example of everything that is wrong in America: Texas DACA recipients somehow now qualify for taxpayer subsidize Obamacare despite being in the country without legal status.

          U.S. Department of State and Mexico come to agreement in repaying water – details remain sparse.

          The news of Texas covered today includes:

          Our Lone Star story of the day: Mandate, D-EXIT, or whatever you term it, the real question is if Trump, and at this point Vance, can keep it. Or, do they do as happened in other cases and turn to inward DC deal making in such a way that the people no longer perceive the fight to be on their behalf?

          The news of Texas covered today includes:

          Our Lone Star story of the day: Some Democrats just don’t know what hit ’em Tuesday and others, our college babies, can’t cope very well with not getting their way.

          The inroads into the Hispanic vote in Texas, made by Trump, helped Senator Cruz and others. The real question is: How ignorant and insulated must Democrat leaders be to not understand how all the anti-male, pro-homosexual and transsexual, and open borders positions are seen by regular folk – and that includes Latinos?

          • Hispanic Americans among key groups that helped reelect Trump as president of the United States.
          • Hispanic voters shift to the right, leaving Texas Democrats seeking answers

            Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick has choice words post-election about Texas House members voting for a Speaker who won his gavel with Democrat support and who empowers the Democrats voters reject.

            Fresh off GOP wins, Gov. Greg Abbott vows to enact school choice in Texas. Will Gov. Abbott and House Republicans keep playing games with school choice?
