Texas Can Fix Crises When It Tells The Truth

The fastest way to lose your grip on reality is to let headlines do your thinking for you. We start by calling out how clickbait media and “outrage wording” shape your emotions even when you swear you’re staying objective, then we bring that same skepticism to the biggest Texas stories on the board right now.We dig into two Laredo cases tied to human smuggling and assaults on federal agents, using them to argue that the southern border crisis is not just desperation but a criminal business model with real physical consequences. From there, we pivot to the New World screwworm outbreak in South Texas: the free online screwworm training Texans can take, what it teaches, how it can expand the inspector pool, and why federal funding for the Texas Animal Health Commission is a rare example of government cooperation that actually looks like basic civil order and food supply protection.Then the pace stays local and practical: Fort Bend County’s mosquito health emergency and aerial spraying plans, the trust gap that makes people doubt “solutions,” and a Houston heat advisory outlook. In the second hour, we take on the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) and its summer leadership institutes, why training pipelines and continuing education credits can become power pipelines, and how parents get treated like a communications problem instead of a constituency. We also cover the Lone Star College Tomball lockdown over an alleged rifle threat, the predictable push for gun control, and the deeper cultural questions nobody wants to argue honestly.We close with a big-money grid story as Texas utility regulators pause parts of a major high-voltage transmission line plan, plus an extradition update in a Harris County capital murder case that spotlights bond failures and the slow gears of justice. ************************************************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!
