The news of Texas covered today includes:
Our Lone Star story of the day: Trump did have to do it, the political hit case against Ken Paxton was dropped by Biden’s Dept. of Justice. As I said they never had a case just as the House impeachers never did. And rightly so, Paxton isn’t letting Senator John Cornyn off the hook for his presumed guilty until proven innocent heresy in the matter.
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.
Has the former Texas Lottery executive director gone missing? Update: “Calls to David Gonzalez, one of Grief’s attorneys, went unanswered. A second lawyer, criminal defense attorney Sam Bassett, contacted Texas Scorecard after publication to dispute the notion Grief had “fled,” saying he was “at home.” Texas Scorecard has not been able to independently verify Grief’s location.”
Anti-Wimp update: Cell phone repair shop employee slain, his killer shot dead by armed associate.
