John Cornyn Refuses To Stop Attacking Ken Paxton

from The Lone Star Conservative · host Patriot Talk 920 AM

Somebody in Texas politics always says they want unity, right up until the next attack ad drops. We start with the Cornyn vs Paxton runoff and the Texas GOP chair’s public call to stop the negative advertising, then dig into why one side agrees to cool it off while the other promises to keep swinging. With early voting ending and Election Day near, we talk strategy, character, and the real risk that intraparty mudslinging becomes a gift to Democrats in the general election.From there, we move into policy that hits closer to home in Houston. The University of Houston system approves its next financial plan, launches new workforce-focused programs like biological sciences and instrumentation, and adds a Philosophy, Politics, and Economics degree while closing or consolidating low-enrollment options. We also unpack how Senate Bill 37 pushes universities to review minors and certificates tied to DEI and related initiatives, and why those compliance decisions matter for funding, governance, and the direction of higher education in Texas.Then we get into the stories that make parents and voters stop scrolling. TEA’s new Educator Misconduct Reporting Dashboard shows thousands of criminal history alerts and a spike in serious allegations, and we connect that to the larger debate over public school safety, homeschooling, and what responsibility looks like after you’ve protected your own family. We close with Houston public safety and Texas courts: a major meth seizure, concerns about transit, the Texas Supreme Court’s Heartbeat Act fight under the Texas Citizens Participation Act, and the Colony Ridge defamation lawsuit against Alex Jones as another flashpoint in the growing battle over speech and litigation.************************************************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!
