About this listen
Ever wonder why one huge election victory fizzles a year later? We dig into the unglamorous truth: primaries and midterms decide whether an agenda becomes law or a footnote. I lay out the March 3 timeline, why “I’ll figure it out at the polls” backfires, and how consistent turnout—not a single wave—locks in border policy, school standards, and fiscal sanity.
From there, we head into the classroom. Katy ISD’s review of Cat Kid Comic Club and Fake News Phenomenon spotlights a core tension: cartoon violence versus ideological bias. I argue for clear standards—age fit, evidence-based truth claims, and purpose—over popularity or panic. Then Magnolia ISD chooses a districtwide, voluntary daily prayer period under state law, with opt-in consent and no disruption to instruction. We unpack how districts can honor student rights, logistics, and community values without courting chaos.
Our weekly local recap with Charles Blain gets blunt about safety: a downtown shooting, a West U burglary ring, and a drive-by outside a community center. We connect these to prosecution priorities and why “first-world” confidence slips when rule of law feels optional. That theme continues in Hitchcock, where the mayor—also the assistant superintendent—was arrested amid illegal gambling raids. We examine why “other states allow it” doesn’t address the costs casinos and gray rooms impose on culture and crime.
Finally, Texas takes on CCP-linked tech: Temu’s data harvesting model, a camera brand tied to blacklisted suppliers, Trojan-horse drones, and router gear exposing home devices. Cheap isn’t free—your data pays the difference. We explore what consumers and policymakers can do to protect privacy and sovereignty.
If you care about what kids read, how safe your block feels, and who shapes policy before November, this one’s for you. Listen, share with a friend, and make a plan to vote—early or on Election Day. Then tell us: what issue puts you in the booth?
