Downtown Dallas 9x Worse Crime Than Fort Worth

We have a "independent" (aka Liberal) City Council. It's not good

Looks like the legislature is back on track. I still would like to see those democrats who deserted be expunged of their committee power because of their antics or some such punishment to prevent them from doing this nonsense all of the time. Maybe the chamber could pass some laws that would put stiff penalties on such childish behavior to stop this in the future. I'll be writing some legislators and recommending these things. Best, LW

I really hope they are back on track after their grandstanding. It backfired and is gonna be used against the Democrats in 2026 and 28

He switched over from Democrats, during this past term I think. He got tired of liberals screwing the people. He does have a Ciy Council that claims to be Independent, but acts left. The inner city is paying for that now

The point is that hours in the Texas sun (or New Mexico, Arizona, California) will make the surface very hot. It's additional level of difficulty for anyone thinking of trying to climb over.

No. They have allowed the display of the Ten Commandments as part of a display that has other religious symbols as well. They have not allowed a law that *requires* the display in public schools and totally privileges one religious system (oddly Judaism) over others. When they do rule, they will strike it down.

ACLU is pure evil. The judiciary is out of control thanks to all the Obama and Biden appointees to district courts. This is a real problem. How to negate their destruction as lifetime appointees.

This is how George Soros planned to destroy America. You will find his fingers on each one, somewhere. His plan was to get all the political appointees beholden to the left. And win the small elections, mayors and so forth. And he almost did, but didnt count on Trump coming and pulling the rug out from underneath them. And how Europe is starting to fight back also.

Those who are trying to subvert the constitution should be impeached. But they won't be.

And there was some talk last week of Soros being tied to the bribery charges against Bob O'Rourke (the Irish guy pretending to be Hispanic). I haven't heard any updates so my guess is that it was just rhetoric. It is an appealing idea that he might end up in jail with Bob.

It might not matter: both are losers representing a party most Texans don't want gif anything. The childish theatrics of their contingent of the Texas house the last few weeks does not inspire confidence, except maybe in the GOP being able to defeat them.

Texas House passed the new seats in the House. Texas Senate vote tomorrow.

Not sure why Democrats dont like this if they are really concerned about "people of color" as Jasmine Crockett claims, 4 out of 5 of the new seats are Hispanic.

The fascists hate it because it gives more representation to Hispanics who vote for the GOP. Their talk about "people of color" is nothing but empty rhetoric, propaganda. Their actions have repeatedly demonstrated that they don't really care much about minorities. They promise all kinds of things but when they act it's the minorities, the poor, the working class, etc who pay for their stupid, Marxist policies. Higher taxes, inflation, higher crime rates, higher unemployment, etc hurt those groups more than they do the rich elitists in gated communities that support them.

Exactly

Beto depends on his in-laws for financial support.

Gavin and Beto in 2028.
