Texas: Zero Coronavirus-Related Deaths After Biden Called Ending Mask Mandate ‘Neanderthal Thinking’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Texas has reported zero deaths from the coronavirus for the first time in nearly 14 months, according to ABC 13.

In a social media post on Sunday, Gov. Greg Abbott (R) announced the news, writing, “0 Covid related deaths–the only time that’s happened since data was tracked in March, 2020”:

In March, the governor announced the end of the statewide mask mandate during an event in Lubbock[.] . .

However, President Joe Biden later criticized the governors of Texas and Mississippi for lifting their mask mandates, calling the decision “Neanderthal thinking.”

“The last thing, the last thing we need is Neanderthal thinking that in the meantime, everything’s fine, take off your mask, forget it,” Biden commented. (Read more from “Texas: Zero Coronavirus-Related Deaths After Biden Called Ending Mask Mandate ‘Neanderthal Thinking’” HERE)

Judge Tosses NRA Bankruptcy Filing

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Texas judge on Tuesday tossed the National Rifle Association’s bankruptcy filing, calling into question the beleaguered advocacy group’s attempt to move to the state.

Judge Harlin Hale of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Dallas dismissed the group’s Chapter 11 filing, writing that CEO Wayne LaPierre was using the filing “to gain an unfair litigation advantage” and “to avoid a state regulatory scheme.”

Hale wrote in his opinion that the organization has strayed from its original intended purpose, which was to advocate for a broad reading of the Second Amendment.

“The mission and function of the NRA is focused on gun safety, and the NRA asserts it is ‘the nation’s foremost defender’ of the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution,” he wrote. “In recent years, however, it has become apparent that the NRA was suffering from inadequate governance and internal controls.” (Read more from “Judge Tosses NRA Bankruptcy Filing” HERE)

Constitutional Carry Clears Texas Senate as Governor Vows to Sign

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Texas Senate passed a bill Wednesday that would allow residents to carry a handgun without a permit as Gov. Greg Abbott is poised to sign the legislation in its final hurdle.

HB 1927, which allows Texans 21 or older to possess a pistol on their person provided they are not “otherwise prohibited by state or federal law,” cleared the Senate 18-13.

The move, which is commonly referred to as constitutional carry, passed the House 84-56 on April 16, and it was initially believed that the Senate might vote down the measure following staunch opposition from police unions and prominent gun control groups.

Abbott will sign the legislation once it hits his desk, he said.

“I support it, and I believe it should reach my desk, and we should have constitutional carry in Texas,” the Republican governor said April 28. (Read more from “Constitutional Carry Clears Texas Senate as Governor Vows to Sign” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Texas Republican Susan Wright advanced in the 6th congressional district’s special election on Saturday. Wright is the frontrunner to fill the seat vacated by her late husband, former Congressman Ron Wright (R-TX), who died of coronavirus in 2020.

Candidates were required to obtain 50 percent or more of the vote in order to avoid a runoff election. Wright received 19 percent of the vote in the crowded, 23-person special election that will now head to a runoff. Democrats were shut out of the runoff as of Saturday night’s results, with Republican state legislator Jake Ellzey coming in second in the field. Democrat Jana Lynne Sanchez, who also ran for the 6th district in 2018, was left in 3rd place and will not advance to the runoff; Democrats will not be able to flip the seat.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Texans voted overwhelmingly to make Lubbock a “Sanctuary City for the Unborn” by outlawing abortion.

The ordinance makes Lubbock, which has a 2019 population of 229,943, the largest city to ban abortion in the country. Before Lubbock, the largest city to pass a similar ordinance was Big Spring, Texas, which has an estimated population of 28,187, KWKT-TV reported. There are 22 smaller cities in Texas and two in Nebraska that passed “Sanctuary City for the Unborn” legislation. Lubbock is the only town with an active abortion clinic to pass the ordinance, according to KLBK-TV.

The Lubbock County Elections Office released the voting results for the Sanctuary City for the Unborn ordinance, which easily passed by a 62.46% to 37.54% margin, according to the Dallas Morning News.

The ordinance states, “Abortion at all times and at all stages of pregnancy is declared to be an act of murder.”

“It shall be unlawful for any person to procure or perform an abortion of any type and at any stage of pregnancy in the City of Lubbock, Texas,” the ordinance reads. “It shall be unlawful for any person to knowingly aid or abet an abortion that occurs in the City of Lubbock, Texas.” (Read more from “Texans Vote to Make City Largest Sanctuary for the Unborn” HERE)

The Houston Police Department is investigating a possible human smuggling case after officers discovered at least 90 people inside a residence.

Officers initially responded to a call at the 12200 block of Chessington Drive regarding a kidnapping, according to the Houston Police Department. Authorities now say the incident “may possibly involve human smuggling” after finding dozens of individuals.

Insanity: ‘In Fact,’ There Are Actually ‘Six’ Genders, Dem Lawmaker Says With a Straight Face

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic Texas state Rep. James Talarico’s office defended Tuesday the lawmaker’s assertion that there are six biological sexes rather than two.

Talarico spoke before the state’s Public Education Committee last week on legislation that would ban biological males from from girls’ K-12 scholastic sports, the Washington Times reported.

“Modern science obviously recognizes that there are many more than two biological sexes,” Talarico said.

“In fact there are six,” he continued, “which honestly surprised me too, cause I am not well versed in this issue area. I’m not a scientist, I’m a politician, a lot worse than a scientist.” (Read more from “Insanity: ‘In Fact,’ There Are Actually ‘Six’ Genders, Dem Lawmaker Says With a Straight Face” HERE)

Dr. Fauci Fails to Explain Why Restriction-Free State Doesn’t Have COVID Uptick

/0 Comments/in , /by

It’s been some five weeks since Texas lifted its mask mandate, and there has yet to be an explosion of COVID-19 cases.

It’s something Dr. Anthony Fauci can’t quite explain.

“I’m not really quite sure,” he told MSNBC this week. “It could be they’re doing things outdoors.”

Daily cases in Texas hovered above 7,000 in early March, when Gov. Greg Abbott lifted the state’s mask rules, leaving it up to individuals and organizations to make their own decisions. . .

“We’ve been fooled before by situations where people begin to open back up. Nothing happens and then all of a sudden several weeks later things explode on you, so we’ve got to be careful we don’t prematurely judge that,” he added.

Texas Governor Boycotts MLB: Declines To Throw First Pitch After League Pulls All-star Game From Atlanta

/0 Comments/in , /by

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) has declined to throw the first pitch at the Texas Rangers’ home opener and declined to participate in any Major League Baseball (MLB) events after the league announced plans to relocate their All-Star Game from Atlanta in response to Georgia’s newly passed election integrity law.

“Major League Baseball adopted what has turned out to be a false narrative about the election law reforms in Georgia, and, based on that false narrative, moved the MLB All-Star game from Atlanta,” Abbott said in a statement. . .

Perhaps even more importantly, Abbott said he would “not participate” in any MLB events. Nor will the state of Texas offer to host the MLB All-Star Game “or any other MLB events.”

The MLB relocating from Atlanta is projected to cost the city as much as $190 million in revenue, hurting Atlanta’s majority black population that is just overcoming the Chinese pandemic.
