West of I-35, the Texas Democratic Party abandoned all of the Democrats in those 134 counties, almost 30 years ago—- cruel, no conscience. For decades not one dollar was ever given to any candidate in the 134 counties West i-35. Hey, city folk, the ridicule and insults turn away Democrats too!

Border killing 20 years ago changed military tactics The shooting of young goatherd Esequiel Hernandez in Redford by a Marine on patrol drew widespread criticism and temporarily ended military missions on the border.

Relevant today. But the trauma never ends for the peaceful Trans- Pecos rural communties along the river. www.expressnews.com/news/local/a...

"Believing ourselves to be possessors of absolute truth degrades us: we regard every person whose way of thinking is different from ours as a monster and a threat and by so doing turn our own selves into monsters and threats to our fellows." ~ Octavio Paz

People who value truth are at a disadvantage because truth is hard and, as a result, there is a massively larger market for fantasy.

Quick action by one Texas summer camp leads to timely evacuations ahead of deadly flood One local summer camp in the path of the disastrous flooding in central Texas was able to avoid any loss of life by closely monitoring weather reports.

In Texas The Water Rises: A Reckoning By now, the South should know better.

Yes Sir, this is exactly what I’m saying, unfortunately! BTW, I went there many many years ago. It was absolutely not a known as a “Christian” camp. I do not know when this new label happened. It was disciplined and competitive there for sure.

Uvalde families didn’t get answers, but I’ve a feeling this could be very different because US Rep August Pfluger (R) had 2 girls there at Camp Mystic— they’re fine. Abbott’s press conference was defensive as expected, but it was not soo incredibly rushed and dismissive like it was in Uvalde.

I went to Camp Mystic as a child. It was never known as a Christian camp until recently. Conversion therapy is not happening there. BTW, the area affected was NOT a deep red area of Texas, not at all.

This is not only cruel it is a lie! The area impacted was not in a deep red area. How dare you!

In just four counties in Central Texas--Hayes, Williamson, Bexar, and Kerr--700,000 people voted for Vice President Harris.

Just those four counties had more votes for VP Harris than the total votes for her in 14 states and D.C.

I understand you're angry, but that anger is very misplaced.

It’s horrible that he’s not home tonight! I agree! But yesterday was a win for due process. When things move forward in Texas’ with its deep-red courts, the admin will have to reverse because the courts will support due process, and not one single Lib will need to participate-kills the narrative.
