Episode 3462: State reps: “We stand with Israel” | Majority arrested Monday weren’t UT students | Scarcity con – Pratt on Texas 4/30/2024

Pratt on Texas

The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day: Rep. Carl Tepper (HD84) rounds up state legislator support countering the pro-Hamas leftists on Texas college campuses – students and faculty. Signed letter reads, in-part: “Israel has a fundamental right to defend itself and should use any and all means necessary to destroy terrorism, which includes wiping Hamas from the face of the Earth. We stand with Israel.”

I wonder if the Texas Tribune will write a story about it questioning their right to express such an opinion. The leftwing news outlet is already trying to change the narrative from lawless agitator led student occupations to one of hypocrisy from Republicans.
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.

Commentary on the stupid scarcity agenda pushed by liberals at Texas monthly and the actual headlines of the day:

• Texas Developers Love Big Thirsty Lawns. That’s a Huge Problem for the State’s Water Supply.
• North Texas lakes full, Trinity River high after heavy rain

Urbanism causes heat islands, turf cools such and cleans the air so, let’s penalize liberals who live in cities and give rural residents huge checks for living in the country!
