Our State Fair is a Great State Fair

“It’s one thing to have a right to bear arms; it’s another to have legislation, like permit-less carry, that makes it easier for senseless acts of gun violence like this to be carried out in our state,” said Bazaldua. [More]

Curious. No one at NBCDFW seemed interested in asking him “How?”

Especially considering:

Entry to the fairgrounds is contingent on a security screening process. All guests will be screened for weapons either by a walk-through or hand-held detection device. Bags, purses, coolers, and similar containers will be searched to determine if any illegal, prohibited, or suspicious items are present that may pose a safety or security concern within the property.

I guess some don’t obey “gun control” edicts

Does that make Bazaldua a shameless, opportunistic blood-dancing liar?

What do you think?

Funny. This didn’t used to happen.

Messin’ with Texas

Following the “pledge card” practice means that a relatively small number of often nominal Republicans can elect a speaker by allying with the Democrat minority, which understandably would prefer to have a Speaker who is not a GOP stalwart . . . especially if that Speaker also gives Democrat members control of certain committees as a sweetener.

So basically, between the speaker and the lieutenant governor, we’re talking a drunk and a poltroon…
