– Michael Quinn Sullivan

High Court Doubles Down On Election Insecurity The state’s highest court on criminal matters – the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals – is refusing to budge on their decision stripping the Office of the Attorney General from prosecuting election fraud cases. Brandon Waltens has the details [[link removed]].

In an 8-1 decision from December last year, the court ruled a state law granting the attorney general the power to unilaterally prosecute election cases is unconstitutional. All nine of the TCCA judges are Republicans.

Attorney General Ken Paxton vocally disagreed with the ruling at the time, saying, “Soros-funded district attorneys will have sole power to decide whether election fraud has occurred in Texas.”

The Office of the Attorney General asked the court to reconsider the ruling, and was joined by the lieutenant governor, a majority of Republican senators, as well as the Republican Party of Texas.

On Wednesday, the court ruled 7-2 not to reconsider [[link removed]] their original decision. In doing so, election watchdogs worry the court is sending a dangerous message to those who would cheat in November’s elections: No one will hold you accountable.

“The CCA's shameful decision means local DAs with radical liberal views have the sole power to prosecute election fraud in TX—which they will never do. The timing is no accident—this is devastating for the integrity of our upcoming elections,” wrote Paxton [[link removed]] on social media on Wednesday.

At a minimum [[link removed]], this ruling presents a messaging problem for the Texas GOP. Why should voters trust “every Republican on the ballot” for office when this GOP-run high court is enabling election fraud by Soros-funded Democrats? Investigating The Military Jab Mandate 💉 Individuals have come to Texas Scorecard showing how the Biden COVID vaccine mandate for the military remains a threat to the rights of Texans and our security. What is missing from any establishment media coverage of this issue, reports Robert Montoya [[link removed]], has been any scientific debate on the vaccines. For Illegals, Is The Risk Greater Than The Reward?

Texas Scorecard recently deployed a team to Texas’ southern border in the small remote Rio Grande Valley towns of Roma and La Joya. There, they encountered Sara and her young grandson, Mattias. They had traveled from Guatemala and entered Texas illegally. Sheena Rodriguez has their story [[link removed]].

Sara recounts her treacherous trip and interactions with what she called “bandits” stealing from others also trying to illegally enter the U.S. At one point, a bandit raped her while her grandson watched.

She admitted her reasons for coming to the U.S. illegally were economic, leaving a 14-year-old daughter behind and hoping to join an 18-year-old daughter – Mattias’ mother – in Santa Fe, N.M.

Economic opportunity isn’t a justification for asylum, and Sara wasn’t planning on entering legally. Research shows [[link removed]] that illegal aliens are more likely to face poverty than legal migrants. Public School Counselors Denounce ‘Whiteness Culture’ While school districts across Texas come under fire for spending thousands of taxpayer dollars for employees to learn radical gender theory and divisive racial ideologies, the American School Counselor Association held a week-long conference in Austin featuring sessions promoting Critical Race Theory. As Katy Drollinger reports [[link removed]], the conference was subsidized by taxpayers.

“Systemic barriers are often rooted in the culture of whiteness, so it’s important to examine your beliefs and practices to develop an anti-racist action plan for your work,” explained promotional materials for the conference.

According to ASCA, 71 percent of school counselors “identify” as white, compared with 50 percent of students being non-white. Therefore, ASCA says, counselors should implement [[link removed]] an “antiracist action plan” in their school districts.

But, again, tell me about the unicorn school that is the lone exception and free from the leftist claptrap plaguing government-run schools… 🔊 Salcedo: Can Texas Save The Economy? In the latest edition of the Salcedo Storm [[link removed]], Chris Salcedo looks at the state of the economy and wonders if Texas can protect the rest of the nation. He’s joined by Jeramy Kitchen, executive director of Texans for Fiscal Responsibility, in unpacking the signs.

You can find the Salcedo Storm on our website [[link removed]], and all your favorite podcasting platforms. 🔊 Peacock: Will The Electric Grid Survive? Texas’ electric grid is being overwhelmed by unreliable and unaffordable electricity from wind and solar farms. On this week’s Liberty Cafe [[link removed]], Bill Peacock talks with energy expert Robert Bryce about how the Lone Star State can get out of the mess the politicians have gotten Texas into.

Today in History

On Sept. 29, 1864, former Texas slave Milton Holland took action for which he later received the Medal of Honor. After all the white commanding officers were either killed or wounded, Regimental Sergeant Major Holland took over the regiment and lead the troops to victory. He died in 1910 and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
