Pratt on Texas

The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day: There is much ado about non-citizens voting with the latest scandal in Democrat New Jersey where a bunch of them have been voting. The real question is why are so many vehemently opposed to move that will improve the integrity of our elections – especially the perception of integrity held by members of the public? Why should flaws, even if not exploited often, not be fixed?

Our Lone Star story of the day: As Little Jimmy “The Creep” Talarico gets funded by the very “Epstein Class” billionaires he frequently decries, Texas Democrats find themselves with two creepy candidates. TX15 is a congressional district Dems hope to flip to their Leftist side this election but their nominee, singer Bobby Pulido, is himself a pervert of the top rank.

Also, far from a reformer, Talarico shows he’s the same old white Democrat by telling upset black Dems in Houston he’ll throw $25 million into black voter turnout. No doubt many in the room would pocket big parts of that and from whom would he get it? Probably the likes of fellow creep Hoffman.

Midland County Judge, Terry Johnson, has gone too far in my opinion and should resign his post: (Isn’t that “local control” great?!)

San Antonio ISD hires superintendent with past cheating scandal [El Paso ISD] to fix budget deficit, avoid state takeover. (Isn’t that “local control” great?!)

Governor Abbott Issues Executive Order Cracking Down On Birth Tourism Scheme – carefully note the wording. My guess is that none of what the hospital(s) have done is actually “unlawful.”

Our Lone Star story of the day: There is dangerous cultural and media double standard regarding law enforcement and illegal immigration.  Texas media and the Democratic Party reflexively victimize illegal aliens while indicting American citizens and law enforcement – with little to no evidence for either action. U.S. Attorney Aaron Reitz details what it appears, based on real evidence, happened in the ICE shooting in Houston.

Our Lone Star story of the day: Who controls the classroom? The Daily Signal asks the key question that arises from the professors’ union against Texas Tech. It is a mystery to me how these employees can believe that they have the right to determine the boundaries and curricula of their employer.

The Dallas Morning News’ liberal editorial board excoriates Texas Democrats and their nominee for governor: Gina Hinojosa’s call for $1,500 checks smells of desperation.

Paxton campaign says it will engage in a debate with little Jimmy “The Creep” Talarico.

Texas Tech chair donated $275K to Paxton before he intervened for Sorsby. Much ado about nothing. The AG simply reminded other parties that a Texas court, not the AG’s office, had made a ruling in the case and that they should respect Texas jurisdiction.

Our Lone Star story of the day: Is Abbott’s H-1B visa freeze real? Texas Tech doesn’t appear to think so: Did Texas Tech Just Violate Abbott’s H-1B Freeze? If Texas Tech can’t find its own graduates to fill this basic level job then it should shut its doors!

Our Lone Star story of the day: CNBC is rightly being mocked for its bias that is so obvious as to be counted as stupidity in its rankings of “worst places to live.” Housing costs and population shifts show the legacy media oulet’s absurdity but, don’t think there are not plenty of Democrats in Texas trying to turn Texas into a Leftwing hell hole. Take this latest bit of housing cost increasing policy from the City of Houston.

Leftist Democrats have yet another problem with pro-life crisis pregnancy centers: They may be helping save babies! Yep, now it is wrong to help a mother keep her baby if she changes her mind after attempting chemical abortion!

NASA switches launch provider from ULA to SpaceX for its SunRise solar mission. Frontier Airlines picks Space X’s Starlink for inflight Wi-Fi. FAA seeking comments on SpaceX’s request to expand Starship’s landing zones.

With Lubbock County’s sheriff, all the needs for more money are a moving target.It’s laughable except that it shows poor executive leadership and costs taxpayers’ their money. And by the way, his use of “critical mass” is language nonsense, it is meaningless.

They’re coming for you next!: Democrat running for Texas attorney general wants to investigate Musk if elected. Good on Bob to pickup on what a liar Nathan Johnson, and other media outlets, is on this issue.

UNT Appoints Critical Race Theory Scholar as Interim Provost. Why after many years, way before the DEI scandal, has Governor Greg Abbott not done anything effective with regents at University of North Texas to stop its wallowing in the far-Leftist abyss?

TX19 Democratic Party executive committeewoman, Kim Gonzalez of Lubbock, publicly celebrated death of Senator Lindsey Graham. Not a far stretch from already supporting the mass murder of babies.

The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day: Texas and the Trump Administration rightly win at the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals on the long unjust issue of illegal aliens getting in-state tuition in Texas.

“Put another way, if some U.S. citizens or nationals, regardless of residency, are ineligible for reduced in-state tuition rates, then all illegal aliens must be ineligible to receive the same benefit based on residency. U.S. citizens or nationals must be treated no worse than illegal aliens,” wrote Judge Smith.

The abuse of our country by foreigners is almost infinite and so much of it has been right under our noses in plains sight – especially on the “birthright” citizenship issue. Rep. Hillary Hickland reported: “It’s been exposed that hospitals in South Texas are actively advertising ‘birth packages’ in Mexico, encouraging people to come to the U.S. solely to give birth and secure citizenship for their children. This is illegal, it is predatory to our already strained healthcare system, and it is a complete abuse of America’s hospitality. Shockingly, these discounted packages for non-residents are often far cheaper than what our insurance companies and Texas taxpayers are billed.”

Oil and gas drilling rig count for Baker Hughes.

More Little Jimmy “The Creep” Talarico creepy hypocrisy – he clearly supports some of the most horrific and sinful things in which our society’s Left believes.

The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day: The Hearst owned and operated Houston Chronicle has published an editorial that invites, before there is any evidence to evaluate, riots and unrest of the type we’ve seen in Leftwing cities across the nation over the past many years. The editorial is irresponsible from the headline down. Additionally, it continues the odd narrative that illegal aliens are somehow exempt from following our laws and simple common sense (unless of course the editors, before seeing any evidence, believe it impossible that the man who was shot did anything wrong.)

Our Lone Star story of the day: The shooting of an illegal alien, and he was despite having lived here 35 years, in Houston by ICE has the media and all the other Leftist groups in an uproar. The problem is that the Mexican man caused the situation. Why should he be exempt from the laws and customs to which all of us are held?

Local sales tax receipt numbers released. Look up your city here.

Texas Tech sued over restrictions on race, gender teachings. The employees defining for the employer what their jobs are – it’s absurd and not a First Amendment case of merit.

Talarico tales: It’s clear that mutilating children to pretend to change their sex is now, like abortion, a fundamental “sacrament” of the Democratic Party – no matter what they say to get elected.
