    Talarico’s paying job was promoting DEI in Texas schools | Big XII sues over Sorsby affair – Pratt on Texas 6/15/2026

    The news of Texas covered today includes: Our Lone Star story of the day: The Big 12 athletic conference has filed a lawsuit against Texas Tech and the State of Texas: “The lawsuit is not seeking financial damages, nor is it seeking to overturn the judge’s decision approving Sorsby’s eligibility to play this season. Instead, the lawsuit asks that a court allow the league to sanction Texas Tech for putting Sorsby in the lineup, without the league, in turn, being sanctioned by the Texas Attorney General’s office,” Breitbart reported.  More: Big 12 doesn’t back off Sorsby ruling despite Pax­ton threat.

    Texas GOP has new chairman | Leftist judge says Texas can’t sue ActBlue – Pratt on Texas 6/12/2026

    The news of Texas covered today includes: Our Lone Star story of the day: Texas Republicans are in convention in Houston and have elected a new state chairman, defeating the incumbent. D’Rinda Randall has been elected the new head of the Republican Party of Texas and David Covey has been elected as vice chairman. Also, the report of the temporary committee for Texas legislative priorities has reported a list of 15 priorities that will likely be reduced to about half by the convention. In the #15 item on AI, this could come right out of the Democrat Party’s platform anytime over the last 40 years!

DPS Releases Details in Midland Shooting. Attorney General Paxton ruling rightly declares that so-called ‘skill’ gaming machines can still violate Texas gambling laws. Governor Abbott partly grandstand on directive making data centers pay their own infrastructure expansion (electric grid) costs. They, and every other industrial customer, generally already does this. Maybe he’ll achieve a small incremental gain with this? Bill Clinton appointed, McGovern supporting federal judge in Massachusetts says Texas cannot sue the Dem money machine ActBlue because it helps Paxton’s campaign. By that logic, this judge’s order help’s Talarico’s campaign so he’s wrong. Listen on the radio, or station stream, at 5pm Central. Click for our radio and streaming affiliates. www.PrattonTexas.com

    The news of Texas covered today includes: Our Lone Star story of the day: Texas A&M start its statewide polling like an Aggie joke by putting out wrong numbers. I’ll bring you the corrected numbers and you can see the numbers here.

    Black people often disserved by “black leaders” | TTU’s gambling QB issue stinks – Pratt on Texas 6/10/2026

    The news of Texas covered today includes: Our Lone Star story of the day: I speak briefly, in relation to the conviction of Karmelo Anthony yesterday, to how unfair it is to so many “Black” people in this country that the liberal media very often amplifies race agitators of the most ignorant and stupid type as “Black leaders.” Well beyond the arena of bigotry or racism, much of what gets amplified as black leadership often leads people, not just “White” folk, to distrust and even hold in contempt, black people. I think it really shows that the Left/liberals are not really the supporters of minorities they claim, but actually the people who push narratives, in a sideways and often subtle style, that damage minorities. Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995. Local sales tax distribution for June was 7.4% more than in June 2025.  Look up your city here. Texas high school students show gains across all subjects on STAAR test. Texas Tech’s gambling quarterback issue is disgusting in that it shows how easily some will set aside obvious right and wrong – and for something is inconsequential as possible football champion ship. I think Cedric Golden’s piece especially good: Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby should never play football again. Also worth noting is this: NCAA’s Charlie Baker eviscerates Brendan Sorsby reinstatement decision. The bit about courts and judges is correct, it’s partly how we got to this point. This is interesting too: What to know about judge who granted Brendan Sorsby’s injunction. Listen on the radio, or station stream, at 5pm Central.

What “governance” is he talking about? Clearly he doesn’t understand that most everything, all from his side of the aisle, from trying to sex change children to banning gas stoves, are day-to-day issues that none of us should have had to have been facing over the last decade. These are the very things he callas “partisan” that Paxton has fought to protect us from and that Middleton will also fight hard to counter.

    The news of Texas covered today includes: Our Lone Star story of the day: Fourteen Texas Democrats missed the May 5th deadline to pay their fines for trying to tank “Democracy” by breaking quorum in the Texas legislature. Some who did pay wrote vulgarisms on their checks which is a reflection of who they are.
