"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." - President Ronald Reagan

The Texas Legislature is back for another session....with George Rodriguez
Friday’s video: They’re back in Austin
They're back in Austin, Texas!
Here we go again. The legislators are back in Austin and Governor Abbott has a full plate for them:
We are hearing a lot of reactions to this menu. The Democrats are angry because they believe that this is all 2022 and there is some truth to that. Indeed, the governor is running for reelection after all. The GOP is thrilled that "youth sports" is on the agenda. The translation of that "boys playing on the girls' team," a topic that puts a lot of Democrats on the defensive with Hispanic parents.
We will see how it all goes.
I would like to see three issues on the table. First, pass the "voting law" finally. Second, Texas should force kids to play based on their gender of birth not their latest feelings. Finally, the session needs to add the topic of "power grids" because we need more capacity, from power plants to nuclear energy.
Last, but not least, the governor will be in the news and that's not bad for a man considered by many as presidential material.
