We all know when a popular revolt succeeds. Someone gets overthrown. At what point, however, does a historic, full-scale rebellion take wing? Always hard to tell. The revolt we discuss here involves bad policy and public schools. A climactic victory has yet to come. But let me fancy this notion: What now simmers across the [...]
Americans tend to react to sound bites and the latest blog when it comes to news. But Americans need to look at the true American history to truly understand what is going on. We can’t jump on the bandwagon every time an event happens. It doesn’t take long to realize that we let the government [...]
As a former Sex Offender Registrar, I agree with Pastor Sweet. Every case is different and not all ‘sex offenders’ are actually child predators. Parents should practice caution and be vigilant at all times, no matter the surroundings. – nmm on Impostor finds new home We need more information regarding the moving of Mrs. Davis. [...]
An issue of a supremely contentious nature, redistricting, is the reason lawmakers are still at work in a 30-day special session, and a great deal of citizen input is being gathered before the coming House and Senate floor debates. When Gov. Rick Perry called the special session on May 27, it was his intention that [...]
by MOSES LEOS III May 17, 2013. 8:06 p.m. Most people look at the date and brush it off completely. Maybe they went to a movie, perhaps a restaurant, or did nothing at all. However, the moment in time means so much more to the players and coaching staff of the Hays High Lady Rebel [...]

And, yet, it is a vital part of keeping a town running, of making sure that Buda remains Buda. Needless to say, Buda city councilmembers are seeking [...]
Is that Anthony Crispino I’ve been hearing tell us what horrific things President Obama has done? I think so. Crispino – Bobby Moynihan’s “Saturday Night Live” “second-hand news” character – knows everything except for everything. “Didja hear the IRS interrogated the tea party?” I hear Crispino say. “Yeah. It’s true.” It doesn’t phase Anthony at [...]
Thanks, Mr. Jack As we approach the end of the school year, the inevitable change of personnel in the district will occur. Staff will change schools, seek other challenges, or choose a well-deserved retirement. This year, one of Hays CISD’s most valuable assets in the transportation department will be doing just that. Jack “Mr. Jack” [...]
Texas lawmakers finally passed Senate Bill 1, a state budget for fiscal biennium 2014-2015, on May 26, the 139th day of the 140-day regular session of the 83rd Texas Legislature. Next stop will be Gov. Rick Perry’s desk for the $197 billion budget – which came in at about $7 billion more than the estimated [...]
I don’t know ’bout all y’all, but I downright despise four-way stops. Not so much in a small neighborhood, but when some batch of county officials with a collective IQ equivalent to an anorexic pygmy’s belt size put a stinkin’ four-way stop on a busy thoroughfare, that’s just urinary-deficient judgment. Any local resident who has [...]
