Dallas Co. lost residents; census news | Burrows releases long list of interim charges – Pratt on Texas 3/26/2026

The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day: The U.S. Census Bureau has released new numbers and while Texas urban areas continue to grow, a bit slower, Dallas County actually lost residents. People, and businesses, keep choosing to move to the exurban areas over the Democrat dominated, and poorly run, core cities. “Among some of the largest metro areas, the fastest-growing counties tended to be on the outer edges, a pattern especially pronounced in Texas,” the Census Bureau reported today.

    I hear there will be a No Kings protest in Lubbock on Saturday.- by historically-illiterate people and imbeciles.

    I’m trying to give Grace, remembering my own foolish youth. But these morons actually have impact now, they have a real voice. I sometimes wish we could send them to counties who have actual dictators and kings. How does our educational system produce people this stupid??
