The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: Little Jimmy “The Creep” Talarico calls Christians who follow the Bible, the words of Christ and his apostles, “Christo-fascists!” Yep, Christians who try and conform to God’s will, as given them in Holy Scripture, are facsists to Talarico and his conform-to-the-world and its sinful wishes heresy of Christianity. This is no joke folks and shows Little Jimmy is working not for Christ but for the Enemy.The only part of the latest A&M polling that is worth noting are the comments at the end of the story by Professor Goidel.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.Lubbock and Abilene city administrations are proposing a tax increase on the citizens for whom they work. Lubbock’s may be small (still almost a 2% increase) and Abilene’s big (just under the number that would trigger an election for approval*) but, both represent the idea that officials believe they cannot do with less money but the people who have to pay, taxpayers, can and should do with less – of their own money they have earned. *Abilene’s No New Revenue Rate is 0.7196. The Voter Approval Rate is 0.7498. The proposed tax rate is 0.7496. – source listener Tammy Fogle. Texas swept all categories in Cushman & Wakefield’s 2026 ranking and could eventually surpass Virginia in total data center capacity.
