Lina Hidalgo, Flood Control Deadlines, And The Price Of Zero Accountability

“No regrets” sounds tough until you realize it can also mean “no accountability.” We start with Lina Hidalgo’s latest pushback over the Houston rodeo dispute, then pull the thread into bigger leadership questions: who owns mistakes, who shows up to govern, and what happens when pride replaces humility in public office. Along the way, we talk flood control, hurricane season prep, and the very real risk of missing federal HUD deadlines that could trigger a clawback of massive grant funding. Then we turn to two major law and justice stories in Texas: allegations that correctional officers sexually assaulted a female inmate at Hospital Galveston and a child predator sting in Manvel tied to online solicitation of a minor, including an arrest linked to the Children’s Museum of Houston. We dig into what’s known, what’s still under investigation, and the uncomfortable debate over whether modern sentencing for sexual violence is anywhere close to serious enough. Education and culture take center stage with the Texas State Board of Education, where activists are preparing to lobby for Islamic classroom materials as conservatives organize to push back. We also break down the latest Texas school choice news after more than 274,000 applications hit the Texas Education Freedom Program, raising questions about oversight, eligibility, and what taxpayers should and should not fund. We close with fresh Texas population growth data and why shifting demographics could spark redistricting fights. ************************************************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!
