The news of Texas covered today includes:
Our Lone Star story of the day: Texas among states that shipped thousands of driver licenses to a “Chinese” organized crime group. At least 3000 Texas of Asian origin have been affected.

It would be hard to convince me this isn’t part of the Chinese Communist Party’s radically broad efforts to undermine the USA.
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.
