1978’s “largely forgotten” flood; more flooding today | Tepper’s HB31 | Texas redistricting – Pratt on Texas 7/14/2025

The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day: A Hearst story on a “largely forgotten” flood event says much including contradicting the media outlet’s extreme climate change narrative. I explain.

And another point to make related to all the stories like this: Before Camp Mystic expansion, FEMA took buildings off flood plain map, records show. When will people learn that government programs are rarely a reliable solution?

More heavy rain in semi-arid West Texas leads to more flooding last night and today. Many headlines.

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.

The great Sam Houston by David Adickes.

RIP: Great Texas artist David Adickes, dead at 98-years.
