From Low Bars To Better Candidates: Making Primaries Matter;

Tomorrow’s ballot isn’t just another date on the calendar—it’s where Texans actually decide who gets to represent our values in November. We lay out why primaries are the leverage point, how turnout habits shape outcomes, and the simple research steps that separate a solid conservative from a low-bar placeholder. Pull the receipts—voting records, donor lists, and committee actions—and you’ll see more truth than any ad buys or yard signs can offer.From there, we head local and urgent. Harris County’s $1.25 million settlement over a 2021 jail killing exposes something deeper than budget lines: ignored isolation orders, chronic understaffing, and a culture that buys feasibility studies instead of fixing basics. We talk accountability that actually works—transparent oversight, measurable staffing plans, and timelines tied to compliance instead of press releases.State politics heat up as Trump’s last‑minute Texas endorsements diverge from Governor Abbott’s slate. Rather than pick a team jersey, we break down what each office controls—audits, procurement, biosecurity, rural infrastructure—and how to judge promises against the power that job really holds. Meanwhile, a deadly Austin bar shooting prompts an FBI review. We sort fact from speculation while confronting two intertwined realities: immigration policy is a choice with consequences, and personal safety requires lawful carry, training, and the refusal to rely on wishful thinking.It’s Texas Independence Day, a reminder that courage often means acting before victory is guaranteed. Show up for the primary. Choose candidates who will fix broken systems, protect rights, and keep communities safe. ************************************************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!
