The news of Texas covered today includes: Our Lone Star story of the day: Big federal (DOJ) investigation, indictments, and raids of so-called “game room” across the Harris County region demonstrate what I have been saying about these places. Interestingly it was the feds doing the work. Why, in so many other places across Texas, are local law enforcement, including district attorneys, so uninterested in these places? Who, if anyone, is on the take from the illegal game room gambling racket in your town?

The news of Texas covered today includes: Our Lone Star story of the day: Texas Democrats picked a white male liberal as chairman of their political party this past weekend – no word on whether they protested themselves afterward. The new chief Texas Democrat wants the party the pushes not working and making working people pay for those who won’t work to focus on “working people.” I wonder what classic “working people” think of transvestite story hour at the local libraries and schools; burning Teslas; worrying day and night about homosexual issues, and; always favoring making working people pay for all the Leftist programs Democrats push?

43:54

The news of Texas covered today includes: Our Lone Star story of the day: Texas Democrats are picking a new party chairman this weekend. All their talk about trying to find someone who can win elections is for nothing until they stop living in a false, alternate universe. The often quoted Matt Angle, in this DMN story , demonstrates such. No matter how much you say it, Abbott, Patrick, and the Texas GOP is not “failed” and no person in touch with reality can make that general claim. Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995. Now that the federal government is doing its job on the border, Texas officials don’t want to stop the state spending . This is terribly irresponsible and very much Democrat-like. Army secretary: ‘Immigration facility’ at Fort Bliss has been ‘greenlighted.’ HUD Cracks Down on Government-Backed Mortgages for Illegal Immigrants . Texas continues to set job growth records and outperform the country as a whole . Insurance company CEO fired after admitting to a House committee that he had citizens, a journalist, and elected officials investigated . Some of the reaction to this is over the top because such is not illegal and is quite common place. However, the question the AG will be looking into will be: Did this turn into something that is illegal? Oil and gas rig count from Baker Hughes .

Episode 3696: Judge rules on Tx prison heat | RIP Carole Keeton… | Remember Goliad | Lubbock measles money – Pratt on Texas 3/27/2025 40:56

40:56

The news of Texas covered today includes: Our Lone Star story of the day: A federal judge has ruled that Texas prison heat (no A/C) is unconstitutional but holds short of ordering air conditioning . However, oddly in my opinion, he is still making the plaintiffs engage in a “bench trial” over the issue. What’s the point of that given that he has already made the underlying decision. And on that note, even acknowledging that there are problems with heat in some Texas prisons, how in the world is no A/C unconstitutional when the framers and founders had no such thing at the time they wrote and passed the constitution? Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.

The news of Texas covered today includes: Our Lone Star story of the day: The Texas Senate passed SB1, it’s version of the Texas budget, unanimously – no wonder Dems went along as some say it is 40% larger than the last two state budgets . And, out of billions in new spending senators only provided $6 billion for more property tax cuts. I’m not really sure how the Lt. Governor comes at the number of only 0.9% growth in spending ; it must have something to do with the qualifier “All Funds budget.” Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995. The National Medal of Honor museum is now open in Texas . Senator Cornyn makes his re-election bid official . Democrat loser Colin Allred hints that he may run (after having lost to Cruz.)

The news of Texas covered today includes: Our Lone Star story of the day: Rep. Carl Tepper’s bill to clamp down, somewhat, on the issuance of C.O. Bonds by local governments is the right direction (and should be strengthened not weakened.) Levelland’s city manager shows what is wrong with so many in local government when they shout “local control” – they don’t actually mean local control by citizen voters but by the government insider crowd.

43:50

The news of Texas covered today includes: Our Lone Star story of the day: Sadly Senator Charles Perry joined with a few others to help Senator Nichols gut the bill to ban taxpayer funded lobbying . The bill, SB 19 by Senator Middleton , is a wheat-from-the-chaff issue for anyone interested in good and better government. It is an issue conservatives and Republicans have been working to pass for many years. Senator Perry’s joining in the gutting amendment is siding with local government functionaries over his constituents (as well as big-government Democrats and RINOs.) And, what does it say about the work of elected officials that they need a hired-gun lobbyist to work with them in order to “make sure the voices back home can be heard,” as Senator Nichols stated ? It certainly doesn’t point to anything complimentary.

The news of Texas covered today includes: Our Lone Star story of the day: From a recent Podcast Extra: Roy Maynard joins us for a Pratt on Texas Podcast Extra to discuss his great column: AP’s Argument Against Being Booted From WH Event Is Laughable Given Its History . More background: White House bans AP reporter from press event over style guide’s objection to ‘Gulf of America’ AP sues Trump to force White House access following ‘Gulf of America’ row Associated Press sues three White House officials over ‘Gulf of America’ feud Federal judge rejects AP’s bid to overturn White House ban on outlet’s access to key areas The fact is that previous administrations have let the press insiders, the correspondents association, decide who does and does not have White House credentials and access to the press room, etc. This insider dealing has ensured that conservative leaning press outlets, including some with very large audiences, have not been given access. The administration taking over access granting is how it should be irrespective of the AP’s situation.

The news of Texas covered today includes: Our Lone Star story of the day: Language, words, are what allow us to form and communicate thought and words, to a large degree, control our thought. Members of media well know this and use such to engage in opinion shaping even when pretending to be engaged in straight reporting. From more alleged abortionists being arrested in Texas, to DNI Tulsi Gabbard and the A.P. , to misleading by omission in stories of the deportation of criminal illegal aliens , stories daily prove that legacy media has no right to any presumption, or reputation, of being “legitimate” press versus other media.
