Trump’s Late Endorsement Forces Texas Republicans To Choose

Trump drops a major endorsement while Texans are already voting, and it instantly reshapes the Republican Senate runoff conversation. We walk through President Donald Trump backing Ken Paxton over John Cornyn, why the timing is so unusual, and what it signals about loyalty, leverage, and how much power a national figure should have in a state primary. I also talk frankly about the risk of endorsements turning into “pick the nominee” politics, and why that precedent should bother anyone who wants voters to stay in charge.Then we hit a story that proves how dangerous headline culture has become. A viral claim about Paxton and a child abuse case sounds explosive until you look at the mistrial, the lack of evidence, and a family refusing to put a victim through another brutal cross-examination. The point isn’t to protect any politician from criticism, it’s to protect reality from manipulation, because a movement that can’t tell the truth can’t govern.From there, we connect tech, culture, and daily life: Fort Bend ISD using AI to pronounce names at graduation, the debate over assimilation and shared language, and whether AI is slowly training people to stop thinking. We also cover a Texas settlement over pesticide misting on produce labeled USDA organic, how “organic” marketing can mislead consumers, and why the Make America Healthy Again push resonates. On public safety, we dig into Harris County ankle monitor failures and accountability, and we’re joined by Mark Palmer from Friends of First Responders on getting rapid financial help to injured firefighters and other first responders.************************************************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!
