Early Voting, School Walkouts, And A Border Battle Shaping Texas Politics

from The Lone Star Conservative · host Patriot Talk 920 AM

Early voting opens, tempers flare, and we ask a simple question: do you want to win arguments online—or actual elections? We start with a candid look at GOP infighting, why it suppresses turnout, and how to pivot toward persuasion, research, and early votes that change outcomes. From there, we examine a tense moment in Texas education: anti-ICE student walkouts, Attorney General Ken Paxton’s investigations into district actions, and the thin legal line between supervision and facilitation during class hours.Public safety takes center stage with the South American Theft Group tied to dozens of Houston-area burglaries. We unpack how rental cars, burner phones, and fake IDs power a professional operation, and why ICE detainers matter when local charges lag. That leads to a frank defense of the Second Amendment as both a constitutional backstop and a home-defense right rooted in individual responsibility.Our guest, TX-38 congressional candidate Jeff Yuna, tackles pocketbook pain and policy head-on. He links inflation to federal debt and wage suppression, calls for curbing H-1B distortions, and argues for codified border limits with a cultural component to preserve national cohesion. On guns, he challenges the logic behind the NFA; on healthcare, he targets vertical integration between insurers and hospitals, stronger patient control over data, and real competition; on food security, he favors restoring state sovereignty so Texas ranchers can sell Texas beef to Texans without federal choke points. His first-day priorities: file a constitutional amendment to ban homestead property taxes and fight new federal debt and giveaways—using the bully pulpit to name the roadblocks.We close with a surge that can’t be ignored: more than 100,000 applications for Texas Education Freedom Accounts in just two weeks, reaching year-one capacity before the deadline. Parents are voting with their feet and their forms, signaling demand for school choice, competition, and alignment between values and classrooms.If this conversation helps you think clearer and act sooner, tap follow, share it with a friend who’s voting this week, and leave a quick review telling us your top issue this primary. Your vote—and your voice—matter more than any post.************************************************Listen every day to our strong conservative programs on Patriot Talk 920 AM.  Tune-in on your radio in Houston to KYST 920 AM or download our app by visiting 920app.com or search for "Patriot Talk 920" from your app store!
