Islamists & hypocritical Dems at the SBOE | Will Abilene be spared a tax increase this year? – Pratt on Texas 4/9/2026

The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day: At the State Board of Education meeting, Democrats show they are dead set against teaching our History and show their hypocrisy over so-called “experts.” Our friend Don Frazier and Schreiner University are now suspect because the school received a grant from a conservative think-tank. Dems have never had a problem with university “experts” fully funded by Leftwing grant money!

And also as you’d expect, advocates of Islam are upset that radical Islamic terror is tied to, well, Islam in the history curriculum! Plus, they want Islam portrayed, quite wrongly, as being influential in American and Texas History.

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.

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick

Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick says that the Texas House of Reps. could have a Democrat takeover this cycle. Dems have gained big in the past in certain cycles but Patrick doesn’t provide any evidence that Dems could pick up the seats needed to take the majority this time around. Would Burrows remain Speaker if they did? He was elected such by Democrats.

Record oil production in West Texas helps stabilize U.S. supply amid Iran war. Yes, and this is by Republican design and only exists because we have fought back the Democrats policies to hobble production and refining.
