A related bill has already been introduced by former Flower Mound councilman-turned-House member Ben Bumgarner, an ally of Abbott. It’s a little more nuanced, but seems to be heading in that direction.

I do my best to give as few tax dollars to Texas as possible. I actually believe I spend less in state sales tax in 2024 than I did in 2000. I’m too much of a miser/investor now. Unfortunately my property tax has skyrocketed over that time but at least most of that stays in Harris county.

Hopefully no one should get mad or triggered about renaming the Gulf. Instead laugh about it. Point out how childish it is to rename something like this.

i think Houston should rename all freeways to Houston Freeway as opposed to how we currently name it in where it goes outside of Houston. Houston is more important. The Katy Freeway should now be called the Houston Freeway. Gulf freeway? Nope, that is also the Houston freeway. NW freeway is how the Houston Freeway or perhaps SE Freeway since it’s SE to Houston.

Care to set an over/under on how many of those 120 Texans who are J6 terrorists end up being elected to public office in Texas within the next two years?

I'll set the number at 6.

Smash that over

this is how oklahoma ended up with a church of satan statue at the capitol lol

If we're gonna have religion in schools, that means we can post other religious  shit on the wall too, right? Like the Seven Tenets of the Temple of Satan, or Anton Levey's 11 Satanic Rules?

Also if we do school vouchers that fund religious schools with public money, I sure hope someone opens a Lucifer Charter School or something similar.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander, as they say.

not a single one of them is looking the same direction and two of them are looking in different directions -  if there were 5 cameras there then I would be impressed. truly special googly-eyed freaks. yep, that pretty much sums up Texas politicians.

From the article:

Quote

"We can't hold our society back or hamstring the teaching of national pride and basic principles and morality because of someone, some way, somehow being offended," Creighton said in an interview...*Creighton is state senator Brandon Creighton.

Umm, is it just me, or did he just describe DEI and certain reactions to it but inverse? I mean, he's referring to his 'morality' which I'm not going to take a stab at guessing how he defines that but I have a pretty good idea that he comes out okey-dokey but others not so much.

Then I like (sarcasm alert) this next quote by the senator:

Quote

...adding that the commandments are "principles that simply encourage people not to tell a lie to one another or to dishonor your mother or father."

It's called a commandment because that is how (you) wish to wield it. It's not encouraging, it's enacting rules and laws that bind others to these while ignoring that many of the earliest documents were crafted by people who were fleeing just such type of "encouragement."

The very first commandment, which I notice is lacking mention in the interview is that one shall have no other Gods before me. What principle in education is that serving exactly?

What happens if a student takes the Lord's name in vain (#3) in the classroom? Who decides the spectrum upon which the penalty of "vain-ness" is enacted? Is a by gawd it's hot in here going to get a seventh grader sent to detention?

Instead of working to assist with restricting access to weapons, mental health support, and other useful ways to spend tax dollars to actually improve education, yes let's command via the law that public schools place the ten commandments in the classroom. It can go right alongside thoughts and prayers the next time commandment #6 is violated.

We’re Mississippi with oil money.

And tex-mex.  That's very important and oh-so-Texan: "Tex-mex - we love the food, but hate and want to deport everyone who created it, prepares it, and serves it!"
