  • Free Speech Lawsuits, A Mayor Under Investigation, And A School Choice Showdown
    Mar 27 2026

    A Texas State University professor praises political violence at an anarchist conference and then argues the First Amendment protects him from being fired. We break down what the Constitution actually says, why “Congress shall make no law” matters, and how state sovereignty changes the analysis when a state-funded university decides it will not subsidize certain ideologies with taxpayer dollars.

    Then the tone shifts to a disturbing local government story: the Magnolia mayor faces allegations of assault and sexual harassment from the city secretary, and after an internal process stalls, the Texas Rangers get involved. We talk through the realities of power dynamics at work, what “he said, she said” means for due process, and why transparency is not optional when public trust is on the line.

    Charles Blain from Urban Reform joins us for a rapid local recap, including the bizarre reality of a convicted county judge still serving until sentencing, “dead homeowner” homestead exemptions that may be distorting property tax fairness, HISD moves to hand off high-performing schools, and a firefighters arbitration loss the public still can’t fully see. We also dig into the Ken Paxton and Kelly Hancock rift over Texas school choice and Islamic school eligibility, plus the Texas House interim charges that signal where elections, education, immigration enforcement, energy, water, and regulatory fights are headed next.

  • NASA’s Artemis II And The Case For National Greatness
    Mar 26 2026

    America is aiming for the Moon again, and I can’t stop thinking about what that says about us. NASA’s Artemis II isn’t just a headline about rockets and astronauts, it’s a test of whether we still believe in building big things that take courage, skill, and time. We talk through the mission, why a lunar base and even a nuclear powered path to Mars matter, and why “America will never again give up the Moon” lands as more than a cool quote.

    Then we snap back to life on the ground: the federal shutdown, TSA workers stuck without pay, and the political fight over DHS funding and ICE. I break down the argument over who is holding what hostage, why incentives matter in negotiations, and why the TSA itself has become a symbol of expensive systems that frustrate people without delivering results.

    From there, we move into Texas: new Senate committee chair appointments, concerns about entrenched committee power, and why “red state” problems can still be created by Republicans who do not act conservative once they get comfortable. We also dig into school choice and Texas Education Freedom Accounts, including why a major Christian school supports the idea but refuses the money over fears of future audits and rule changes that collide with religious autonomy. Finally, we cover the landmark verdict against Meta and YouTube over addictive design and what it means for parents trying to raise kids in a screen soaked culture, before closing with the Ken Paxton and Kelly Hancock clash tied to TEFA litigation.

  • Houston’s Islamophobia Proclamation And The Texas Backlash
    Mar 25 2026

    Houston City Council steps up to condemn “Islamophobia,” and we ask a blunt question many people avoid: when politicians use that word, are they protecting peaceful neighbors or policing what Texans are allowed to say? I break down the headline, the language in the proclamation, and the deeper fight over free speech, religious liberty, and how the First Amendment gets invoked in modern culture battles.

    Then we move from rhetoric to policy and paperwork, because that’s where big decisions get made. I dig into reporting about a Dallas area Islamic school and how Texas school choice programs collide with concerns over curriculum, funding sources, and public accountability. After that, Aaron Anderson from Texas Scorecard joins me with a detailed update on the Epic City “Meadow” development, including the municipal utility district drama, county filing deficiencies, and why “we banned Sharia cities” is not actually how the local approval process works.

    We also hit a rapid run of Texas and national updates: the Valero Port Arthur refinery fire status and what investigators are still sorting out, Houston’s warm March weather and fog setup, and Delta pulling special airport services for members of Congress while TSA staffing issues stretch lines nationwide. I even get into why airport security debates keep resurfacing whenever the system is stressed.
