Who Benefits When Texas “Wins”

Texas is piling up wins on the scoreboard: companies relocating, jobs being announced, GDP projections climbing. But we don’t let a booming headline do our thinking for us. We ask the question underneath the celebration: who is that growth actually for, and what does it cost ordinary Texans trying to buy a first home, raise kids, and live without getting crushed by property taxes, insurance, and rising bills?From there, we dig into the policy mechanics that can quietly turn “pro business” into corporate welfare. We talk targeted incentives, government picking winners, and why Texans should be skeptical when big companies claim they “can’t find” workers while American grads get auto-rejected. We also walk through the Houston controller’s investigation into a senior advisor in the Mayor Whitmeyer administration, and what real accountability looks like when the paycheck is funded by taxpayers. Remote work is possible, but deliverables and oversight should be provable.Then we shift to culture and institutions. A higher education conference shows how DEI can survive by changing its vocabulary into words like belonging and culturally responsive pedagogy. We lay out what transparency and reform should look like, and why strong families and present fathers matter more than most policymakers want to admit. We also cover Southeast Texas flooding risks and a disaster declaration, plus a letter from attorneys general urging the EPA to review mifepristone as a potential drinking water contaminant and what that says about consequences that never stay private.************************************************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!
