Social justice story on Lubbock is fatuous | Remembering Lou Dobbs & Bob Newhart – Pratt on Texas 7/19/2024

The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day: The Texas Tribune has a big “social justice” story out on Lubbock and it’s full of half truths, utter ignorance, and even a lie or two. There are many things ignored by these people, the biggest of which is that people can choose to live anywhere they want and choose to build any type of house they want, and thousands upon thousands do so in Lubbock – of all races, creeds, and ethnicities. Also missed is how freeways run through South, Southwest, West, and Northwest Lubbock too so, why are those not racist constructs? Why are people in the newest areas wanting and waiting on a new freeway, an outer loop? So much of these ideas presented are solely constructs of victimhood that pretty much all this group advocates should be ignored.

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.

Oil & gas rig count unchanged this week.

Texas’ Civilian Labor Force Exceeds 15.3 Million, unemployment rate remains at 4.0 percent.
