Our Lone Star story of the day: 76-year-old Sylivia Gonzalez of Castle Hills gets the backing of the U.S. Supreme Court to pursue her claims of political retaliation against Castle Hills officials for what was, in my opinion, a dastardly deed done to her for flagrant political retaliation.

Our Lone Star story of the day: It’s not just the surgeon, Dr. Haim, now Biden’s politicized DOJ and FBI is intimidating a Texas nurse for blowing the whistle on Texas Children’s Hospital illegally using Medicaid funds for child sex changes. See:

The clown court known as the Texas [un]Ethics Commission adopts a rule to require disclosure for social media posts when being paid by a campaign to make the posts. The rule is inline with Texas law on disclosure but it seems ripe, the way it is setup, to become a nightmare tool used to intimidate citizen political speech.

Our Lone Star story of the day: Biden’s latest big vote buy will let half a million illegal aliens have “temporary” work permits, obtain permanent resident status (green card), and then obtain U.S. citizenship. Plus he plans to hand out more benefits under DACA despite the Fifth Circuit holding that the program is illegal.

Meanwhile, illegals and advocates for illegal immigration are crying about not being “respected” even though they show zero respect to this country by entering illegally – what’s got ’em hopped up at the Texas Tribune is that Texas is now firing pepper balls to try and deter illegal border crossing!

The new appraisal district board of directors races are important, and next time, conservatives across the state need to be ready with a slate of candidates who will work to make Appraisal Review Boards focused on what’s right for property owners instead of just what benefits tax takers.

Texas Education Agency released test scores on Friday and it isn’t a good report card for our highly funded public schools. Worse, for the teacher groups and educrat lobby, is that Mike Miles approach in the state takeover at Houston ISD bucked the trends statewide and regionally to produce higher results.

Our Lone Star story of the day: Whether liars or just incompetents, local government officials mislead often but sometimes it becomes extremely overt in “hiding the ball” from taxpayers which is the case in El Paso.  (James Quintero joins us to talk about his El Paso discovery.) Other times they simply overstate to panic citizens into accepting more spending and higher taxes, as we see in Abilene. Or, in the case of Lubbock, we see government handing out taxpayer money to private individuals for projects that are nowhere near “economic development.” Kuddos to David Glasheen for getting this right.

State’s marijuana lawsuit against Austin is dismissed by Democrat activist  judge in Travis County – just as I said would happen. Don’t worry, it was always a case to be decided at the appellate level and it could be the new 15th Court of Appeals hearing it.

Don’t be fooled by the press take on the Supreme Court’s abortion drug decision today – it was completely on the issue of standing. The issue of the drug is still open to challenge.

Our Lone Star story of the day: From the I-told-you-so file: A Texas Tech science related program hosted a “Queering Agriculture” seminar led by a drag queen – last week!
