Pratt on Texas

Today’s special edition of Pratt on Texas is an interview, 2 of 2, about our good friend, true conservative, and guest host Matt Crow and how he became part of the Ronald Reagan re-elect effort (1984) and then the administration in the 2nd term. (This is not a repeat, this is the first airing.)

Matt also served in both the Bush 41 and Bush 43 administrations.

Matt is a native of the San Francisco Bay Area who went to college at Nevada-Reno and got to Texas as soon as he could, but it took a while.

He worked on Capitol Hill for a decade as a communications director and when he just couldn’t it take anymore, he came to Lubbock – and we are all glad he did.

Our Lone Star story of the day: Congressman Henry Cuellar and his wife have been indicted by the Biden D.O.J. Cuellar denies wrong doing and plans to continue to run for re-election. There is reason to wonder if such is legitimate or simply part of the ongoing effort from DC leftists to get rid of the so-called “moderate” Democrat. Time will tell.

Our Lone Star story of the day: A feature story at Texas Tribune today focuses on Lubbock’s pro-pot election and how important it is statewide from a political perspective. It’s a repeat of what I have told you all along.

More on the pro-Hamas terrorist efforts to occupy college campuses. New York’s mayor says it is the same there as it was Monday at UT: Many of these people have no ties to the universities, they are professionals come to lead the sheeple students to do the bidding of the terrorist regimes.

Texas sales tax revenue down over April last year; factor in inflation and it’s down even more than 3.2 percent.

Our Lone Star story of the day: Texas and A.G. Paxton to lead coalition of states to fight the latest anti-gun rights ATF rule coming out of the Biden Administration. The rule puts people in jeopardy of prosecution for private sales and goes well beyond what Congress defined as a gun “dealer.”

Ted Cruz has double-digit lead over liberal Collin Allred in UT polling.

The Dallas Morning News has published a long story trying to make something of nothing: Federal elections regulator from Texas has Ted Cruz campaign sign in front yard.  All of this may sound bad until your ignorance is wiped away and you realize the FEC is governed specifically by partisan appointees – people assumed to be politically active in partisan politics.

More pro-terrorist, anti-Jew protests. Why are so many brainwashed? CRT, DEI on campus teaches this horrible bigotry.

The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day: Rep. Carl Tepper (HD84) rounds up state legislator support countering the pro-Hamas leftists on Texas college campuses – students and faculty.  Signed letter reads, in-part: “Israel has a fundamental right to defend itself and should use any and all means necessary to destroy terrorism, which includes wiping Hamas from the face of the Earth. We stand with Israel.” 

I wonder if the Texas Tribune will write a story about it questioning their right to express such an opinion. The leftwing news outlet is already trying to change the narrative from lawless agitator led student occupations to one of hypocrisy from Republicans.

Urbanism causes heat islands, turf cools such and cleans the air so, let’s penalize liberals who live in cities and give rural residents huge checks for living in the country!

Our Lone Star story of the day: Violent and disruptive student protests are nothing new but Leftists in the press romanticize such which often gives more coverage than such deserve. The pro-Hamas anti-Israel protests on our campuses are sometimes held within the proper bounds of protest and expression but in some cases what is attempted is a take-over and shutdown of campus activities. I review much Texas press over actions at the University of Texas at Austin.

And just to remind you of what manly leadership is like, I play Ronald Reagan addressing the very issue many times over an almost 30-year period. Thanks for the Daily Caller for putting together the montage.

Dallas Fed: Mixed signals from Texas manufacturing sector.

Texas sues the Biden Administration over its radical perversion and gutting of Title IX.

If you lived in New Mexico you’d think the only Mexican border problems were in Texas and Arizona and were greatly exaggerated by Republicans in those states. That’s because Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham is a fellow Biden Leftist and pretends publicly it isn’t a problem. However, leaked audio tells a very different story: ‘For The Love Of God’: Leaked Audio Reveals Dem Gov Ripping Biden Admin Over Border Security.
