Episode 3627: New press coverage leaves out paramount issue in Burrows’ BurrowCrat Speaker candidacy – Pratt on Texas 12/17/2024

Pratt on Texas

The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day: The BurrowCrat Coalition posits an interesting charge: The Republican House Caucus is “broken.” The problem is that if you read Rep. Terry Wilson’s op-ed backing BurrowCrat Burrows for Speaker of the House, he never gives any evidence at all of anything “broken” in the caucus other than that the majority didn’t support his candidate. Also, he repeats the lie that something was amiss with not being granted a “brief recess” once the voting process had already started. I address this oft repeated misdirection.
I also address the how the press, in many recent stories, left out the paramount issue with the Bonnen-Burrows scandal of a few years back. It’s what they leave out that should give pause to members support Burrows.

SpaceX’s Starlink revenue in 2025 now projected to be $11.8 billion. T-Mobile initiates direct-cell-to-satellite texting using Starlink. Europe to spend $11 billion to build its own Starlink government constellation. All this begs the question: Why are Texans, and federal taxpayers too, spending billions to provide rural broadband Internet service when it is already available with more coming online soon?!
