  Episode 4045: Exposure to religion is not “establishment” or advocacy for such | Starting Texas schools in September – Pratt on Texas 8/18/2026

  Aug 18, 202643 min

  The news of Texas covered today includes: Our Lone Star story of the day: The ACLU and other anti-religion groups have asked the Supreme Court to overturn the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals and declare that Texas cannot post the Ten Commandments in school classrooms . Maybe we should accept their argument that exposure is equal to advocacy, indoctrination, and establishment. That way we could apply the same to all of their Marxist, secular, Leftist crap and force it all out of schools! Frankly, this whole of issue of separation of church and state is moronically misunderstood. There is no such separation in the Constitution, only the prohibition of government creating an Established Church – which had a very specific meaning when written not a generic anti-religious meaning. 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. Rep. Patterson brings up, again, the idea of starting school in September . We’ve had this argument for decades as start dates moved earlier. What is missed by reporters and others who are ignorant what has gone before, is that it mostly has to do with football. Going lefty with near “participation trophies” for playoffs added weeks to the schedule. Texas CEO pay: Companies with the widest worker pay gaps . Why is this anyone’s business? “Workers” (effectively a Marxist term) are free to buy stock and be owners in publicly traded companies but management pay is only their business as an owner, not an employee. And, note the silly union comment about workers being the ones “who make their companies profitable.” Firstly, it’s not “their” company if they are employees. Secondly, if this is true then when companies fail it is the employees who “make their companies” unprofitable. Listen on the radio, or station stream, at 5pm Central.

  Aug 13, 202644 min

  The news of Texas covered today includes: Our Lone Star story of the day: “ Judges give Americans a pair of Election Integrity wins ” or, “ Election integrity law that sent Texas Democrats fleeing wins again in court .” Also note in the Minnesota case the Democrat opposed verifying signatures of ballots handled by third parties – how absurd can you get? 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. From the campaign stack: Paxton rightly, as I suggested, skips the Hearst and NBC/Telemundo setup debate that would air from the Rio Grande Valley. Talarico Silent On Staff-Dating Ban After Campaign Reverses Timeline – the little leftist is just another of the philanderers at the Capitol Greg Abbott app offers rewards for Texas campaign activities – another decline in political campaigning but I understand why.

  Aug 12, 202644 min

  The news of Texas covered today includes: Our Lone Star story of the day: At Lubbock press event, Governor Abbott goes severely punitive over teachers who illegally have inappropriate relationships with students . On the surface his suggestions sound good but when you look closer it is clear that the legislature will have to deal with details beyond sounding tough.

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. Local sales tax numbers released by the Comptroller and year-to-date numbers show that most cities shouldn’t be looking at property tax rate increases. Look your city up here .

  Aug 11, 202643 min

  The news of Texas covered today includes: Our Lone Star story of the day: Maybe the reason Democrats want to import new voters from other countries is so the party can have a base that doesn’t remember its positions from yesterday that they’ve flipped today to win whatever election is upon them. We’ll take the old mantra of “worker exploitation” as an example. Today Dems are arguing that we need illegal aliens because not having them raises prices for things as those folks subject to deportation (illegals) do all the menial jobs for them .
