The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day: Panel of federal judges in El Paso rule (2 to 1) that Texas Congressional redistricting maps are race-based and block use of such even though race was not used at all in the drawing of the maps. Typical. Texas will appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Governor Abbott Designates Muslim Brotherhood, CAIR As Foreign Terrorist Organization.

Texas Monthly preposterously claims it is Lt. Gov. Patrick and conservatives trying to re-write the history of the Alamo!There must not be an ounce of integrity at the magazine anymore. The Leftists admitted all along that it was their intention to rewrite Texas history and the story of the Alamo to focus on other things, mostly of the woke nature. Thank the Lord that Patrick has a sharp person reviewing what goes into the new museum because as we learned recently, even the head of Alamo Trust is a woke history revisionist. She’s out and now she has filed a lawsuit.

Putting God’s Ten Commandments up in public school classrooms gets the judicial treatment you would expect from a Leftist politician put on the federal bench by Bill Clinton: Ten Commandments displays blocked at Texas public school districts.

RIP: Listener, friend, and conservative Republican Roger Key.

Our Lone Star story of the day: What Governor Abbott ruined in a lasts moment veto, the U.S. Congress fixed: The spending bill to reopen government removed the unintended loophole that created a multi-billion dollar get-high drug industry using THC in hemp. Every grower, processor, and retailer knew from the beginning that they were operating via a loophole never intended but went into the drug business anyway – have zero compassion for them (if this holds up.)

The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day:  Governor Abbott launched his campaign for a record 4th term as Texas governor. Is he truly committed to passing the very big issues and reforms he touted or, is it all a play to look super conservative for a 2028 presidential run? One thing is different from the past: Abbott has finally learned to be engaged with the legislature and push hard for some agenda items. That’s something he didn’t do for the first half of his time in the Guv’s Mansion.
